"I know. I regret it too," Tracy said. She chuckled into her straw and made a face as she looked around the wild, buzzy room.
My laughter made its ending round while I nodded alongside and looked for the millionth time towards Brian, who was twerking his butt—very weirdly—under the spotlight in the center of the room.
The lights flashing around the walls were many colorful ones. There was pop music playing from the speakers. And the only attendees of this were me, Tracy, Brian, and a few other guys who were his friends and in charge of the music. This was Brian's idea of a ‘makeup get-together.’
I opened the door and crept inside in order not to wake anybody up, climbing the stairs to my room. I was started by a voice saying, "Hope you had a nice time."I paused and turned back to see Ian seated on the sofa, busy with his laptop. How come I didn't notice his presence?I got down slowly, as if counting my steps. "Sorry, I got back late; I had to spend some time with my friends''"Iris, you don't have to apologize. Do whatever makes you happy. I am glad you are getting back on your feet and leaving the past behind." His voice was soft and calm, sending goosebumps to my skin.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words were hard to come out, so I closed it back, nodding my head and running up the stairs to my room.I shut the door quietly behind me and leaned on it, facing the entire room. I felt a mixed feeling that I didn't know about when tears rolled down my cheeks.Why is all this happening so that I feel relaxed with Ian? How do I tell him that the river driver who drove his
I couldn't have felt any better if Brian and Tracy weren't helping me make some investigations.I really feel like going back to my profession in full because I am really missing out.This taxi cab doesn't seem to be fast. I wouldn't want Ian to return home before me. There was lightning from the sky that shone directly into my eyes; I guess it was about to rain.Before I could blink my eyes, there were droplets on the window. I relaxed and watched as the droplets formed in different shapes.The rain was so heavy that I couldn't see humans on the streets any more. It was at this point that the driver knew he was going to drive fast.I could barely see the road, and so I wondered how the driver was seeing clearly. My fear was that I could easily locate my destination."Please don't forget where I told you that I would stop."The driver didn't respond to me, which was very disrespectful. I felt terribly awkward. Was that how he was supposed to treat his customer? I wish I had called Ian
I went into my room quietly and sat down on my bed. I wondered why Ian didn't say a word. So that means he truly has a child with her.The door handle was shaking, and I knew that someone wanted to come into the room. I waited till I heard a knock on my door.I dragged my feet towards the door and opened it. I was aware it would be Ian, and I was correct."Iris, can I come in?"I made way for him to enter my room without saying a word."You look cold. I thought you would have come inside my room to sleep.""Your room? No, I can't. I am comfortable here.""Are you sure?""Yes, I am alright here.""You have been silent and cold the moment she talked about a child; do you believe what she said?"I don't know what to say to him at this moment. I have yet to hear the full story, so
It was as if Ian wanted to release a bomb, because I still don't understand why he exhaled so deeply that I could see his chest rising and falling.Maybe I was right in the first place. He must have had a child with her, so what am I still doing here?"Alright, I called. We are here together because of the whole situation at hand now, and I want to clear the hot atmosphere."What are all these long sermons for? Ian should go straight to the point. My patience is running out.Ian quickly turned to Claire and said, "You came here on purpose, and definitely it was because of my wealth. The child is not mine.""Huh? How can you say that? Why would you deny your own seed, Ian?""There is no need to banter words with you. I have no energy for that. Yesterday, you broke the news of having a child for me, and I was quiet because I had to do my resear
Ian I feel like I am losing something. How do I make Claire leave my house? I don't deny the fact that she was once my girlfriend, but I don't know what she has planned.Iris tapped me on the shoulder and got me startled."Here," she handed a glass of Vodka alcoholic liquor."Thanks,"I followed her behind to know where she was going, and we got to the grass like an umbrella shade and sat down."I want us to talk."I stopped my drink and nodded my head in approval of her going ahead."I am all ears.""I don't know anything about your past. Can you please tell me your story?"I never expected her to bring the matter up, but there was nothing to hide."I know you want to know about Claire, and I will tell you." 
IanI rushed out of the house with my car. I drove myself to the hospital, where I was asked to come and see her.When I got there, I forgot to turn off the car's engine. I just closed the door and rushed inside.I couldn't find any traces of her, and so I moved to meet those medical records officers at the front desk."Hello, I was told that a young lady was moved into this hospital.""A young lady? What's her name?""Iris McCarthy"They searched in their file, but it was taking too long, which got me so uncomfortable."What is going on? She was just brought in here a few minutes ago, not even up to an hour."The record officer who was attending to me shook her head negatively. "Sorry, sir, but there is no such name here. The last person that was brought inside here was a man."
Ian I opened my car door but noticed I forgot my wallet. I rushed back into the house and met Claire, bleeding profusely. What is this? I became confused.Was it because I pushed her? The blood was gushing out through her thighs."Claire! What happened?" She was just screaming on top of her voice."Somebody help!"The domestic staff available came and met us. I asked them to help me take her into the car.I got up to my room and grabbed my wallet. My head wasn't just calculating enough. I couldn't think straight.I brought the car engine to life and zoomed off. There was just one domestic staff member, Claire, in the back seat.I arrived at the hospital, and the nurses helped carry her inside. My phone rang, and I picked it up despite not knowing who the caller was.
IrisIn my whole life, I haven't seen a man who is well known, yet he doesn't publicize it.What? So, Ian wants to tell me that the policemen who were having breakfast with us know him too well.Look at how relaxed they feel, eating like they haven't eaten since last week.Ian is so down to earth to have allowed these men to eat at the same table with him. Gosh! I am impressed and amazed.Isak can't try this. If I can be scared of Isak, my husband, then who are the outsiders not to be trembling before him?His intimidating looks alone can send one to the grave immediately, without a touch. That was how bad it was.I saw the joy and excitement on their faces. They would be lucky that Claire came to invite them over, but funny enough, the game turned around for them.They would wish tha
