Valerie "Hello, I'm Aiden's mother, Rose. I really hope that you could really fit in some time for me." Aiden's mother had this hopeful look in her eyes that I couldn't say no to. I assure you it was all the fault of my hormones. I missed being me. The bitchy me to be exact, the one who didn't flow with the emotions. I stepped aside making way for her. "Who is it dear?" Carmen came asking. "It's Aiden's mother." My words came out dry. I really wasn't looking forward to this meeting and if Aiden would have sent her here I would be kicking him down from his penthouse. He was getting on my nerves. "Oh, come on in then." Carmen took over from there making Laura and Rose comfortable in my living room. I guess peace and me aren't going to exist in the same universe for awhile. We all settled down in the living room which I would say became too crowded for me. I waited for someone to say anything but nope not a word was uttered and it did really irritate me. I mean, talk if you want to r
Valerie What do you mean by that?" Rose questioned. "It means Aiden and I aren't getting married." "This is absurd." She said in disbelief. "How will you raise the kid all alone? It isn't fair on Aiden." "There is something called single parenting. I won't be alone, Aiden will be always present for his kid and please don't talk about it being unfair on Aiden. What he did to me wasn't fair too?" My words filled with rage and anger towards her. After taking a minute and taking in deep breaths she talked again. "What will be child's surname? Where will he live with Aiden or you? Who will be providing for the child? I mean how come would you raise a child like that without marriage?" She spoke without a breath. "This will be so confusing for the child and he or she will have to suffer because of it. People and his or her friends will make fun of him or her. How can you be so cruel? How can you even be a mother being a single parent is far away to even think?" Her words flared ange
Valerie "I will speak to you in any way I like if it involves my daughter, my grandchild, and Aiden. They have gone through too many things and I don't want you here causing any more troubles just for the sake of your happiness. Aiden loves you but let me tell you he wouldn't let you once again rule his life. He would be fucking mad at you just for coming here uninvited when Val had such a difficult day because of us. He will be fuming as much as I fucking am. Get your things and leave right this second before I drag you out of here myself!" Rose looked at him in disbelief but rather than retorting back decided to collect her things."Let's get going Laura." Laura stood up and followed Rose out without saying anything."I never expected you to go behind my back, Laura. It's disappointing." Travis words were sharp and I could see tears in her eyes at this. Only when they left Travis looked at me. Eyes same as mine staring at me with a mixture of adoration and worry. We stood there sil
Valerie All I was trying to do was reach home hastily as people rushed along the sidewalk around me. I might have even bumped into a few but at this point, I just didn't care. As my apartment building came into view a sigh of relief left me, finally I was there. At last, I was going to be home. The only thing I was glad about was it being situated in the hustle and bustle part of the city and being within walking distance of the office, only if you liked to walk. It was a time saver yet I have been unable to be back home for the last two days. Walking into my apartment the first thing I did was fall onto the couch, a wave of exhaustion instantly hit me. Waking up early and staying at the office for days to submit plans for an event that was almost a week away may not have been the best idea. No one said event planning was easy - the deadlines, the nagging clients, and the pressure to make everything perfect were extremely draining on employees. After the stressful day, all I wanted
"Valerie?" a voice yelled from the living room and I knew straight it was Aiden but he was not supposed to be in the city. I couldn't remember why but I for sure knew he would be out on the weekend. Aiden and I had started dating a year ago when I had met him at a party, Shay and I were attending. I was tipsy when my eyes found him and yeah I was shameless. Our eyes met and the chemistry was overflowing. He appeared before me, in all his grandeur, A tailored black suit with a charming loose red tie. His chiseled jaw lifted with a sexy devilish smile. His eyes were a sparkling blue, and his soft, feather-like black hair brushed away from his brow. He was charmingly devilish. He oozed off hot sex. There was no denying the fact that I had wanted him and hence I had made the move only to succeed. From the minute we started dating, I was honest with him, telling him that I wasn't ready for anything serious, especially love and marriage. Well, not the serious kind of love. He said he
ValerieI groaned looking at the clock beside me on the bedside table. It was three in the morning and I couldn't even get a wink of sleep after my fight with Aiden. Getting tired of tossing and turning in bed since lying down, I moved to the living room hoping that some Netflix series would help me. Surfing through all that was available for ten minutes, I ended up with two options only. One was a horror series and the other was a romantic series. I sighed not liking any of the options.I knew Aiden was mad at me and mad was saying it slightly. The worst part was that I knew I was to be blamed for it, I caused this pain to both of us. Moreover, I just hated it when someone was mad at me, especially at my expense.Deep down I knew I had to apologize for all the ruckus I had caused. Taking in a deep breath I picked up my phone to call him. I know it was three thirty in the morning but I had an intuition that he might be awake too just like me. The phone rang for a bit and with every s
Valerie I groaned feeling the sunshine hurting my eyes. Turning my face to the other side I glanced at the clock to find that it was eight-thirty in the morning. Shit, I was going to be late! I tried to get up but there was a hand around my waist holding me down. Slowly removing Aiden’s hand from my waist I made a quick tour of the bathroom to get ready. I almost stumbled upon myself as I tried to grab clothes, the mess I had made from today's early morning trying to find something appealing to wear for Aiden needed to be cleaned up but I just left it for later on. When I walked back into the bedroom, Aiden was awake perched up on the headrest looking at me intensely. I applied the lipstick with my eyes glued to his eyes in the mirror. I could see from the way he bit his lower lips that he was having naughty thoughts. I couldn't lie but he looked so sexy that for a second I had a thought about pouncing on him in that instant. Gathering his clothes that were scattered on the floor
Valencia "Oh, I'm sorry," she paused taking another look at me. "It's just you look so similar to me. We both have dark blonde hair and our facial features are a lot too similar. Except for our eyes and maybe nose too, but we could easily pass as sisters!" There was no denying the fact that her voice was sweet and she had a childlike personality. "Oh, that's nice,” I said, a bit taken aback. We were similar looking but it wasn’t a big thing or was it? Makeup could turn anyone into anything, there was no big deal in this. "I’m really sorry about that, have a seat," she seemed to have gotten on the fact that I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She was generous and overly happy, maybe it was all because of her being a bride-to-be. Taking a seat, we ordered some light snacks and tea. The other woman was her assistant and spoke only when required. "So, I have heard a lot about your work, and from what I could gather you’re one of the best event planners out there." She looked at some
