For the rest of the day Alice did a very good job in avoiding the man that made her belly churn but still later bumped into him on her way to the kitchen.
‘Oof sorry'.She blurted out loud and when Landon saw how flushed her cheek was he knew something was up.
‘What is that?'.His eyes lowered to the equipment in her hands and she gulped hard.
‘It's uhh... it's uhhh....it's for Willow'.
‘Really?? What is it used for??'.
‘Uhhh i..I don't think you'd really want to—
‘Alice I want to know'.He pressed further and after cussing under her breath she reluctantly showed him.
‘It's a breast pump,it's used for pumping milk from my......you know what I mean'.She said and this time his cheek reddened with embarrassment.
‘Ohhh I didn't know they made g
Luther O'Brien's eyes glimmered as soon as he spotted the beautiful woman coming out of the car who had beautiful legs and when he got a glimpse of her eyes he was immediately attracted to her.‘Ohhh please don't even say it'.The young brunette muttered as she sat next to her brother and handed him a jar of sunscreen.‘What do you mean??'.Luther asked even though he understood what she meant.‘You're going to say you've found the woman you want to marry and believe me it's preposterous'.She scoffed and he sighed deeply‘There's something intriguing about—‘You're a playboy Luther,it's the fifth woman you've talked about today but I won't lie......she is kind of hot and beautiful too'.She stopped him halfway and he chuckled loudly but when he turned around his mystery lady was gone.There was some
‘Would you chill out for a moment?'.Catherine blurted out annoyedly as her brother paced back and forth in her room panting heavily.His jealousy was the most obvious thing anyone has ever seen and he was not one to handle it very graciously.The will to rip the Luther guy to shreds was seen in his eyes and when Alice agreed to going on a date with him,things just went from bad to the worst of the worst.‘I still can't believe she agreed to going out on a date with him, what does he have that I don't??'.He scowled deeply and thankfully sat down on the chair to cool off.‘Well he's handsome,he looks rich and he probably treats women with respect'.Catherine responded and he darted a haughty look back at her.‘Are you saying i—’No Landon,you didn't treat Alice with respect until now and God help me
Alice yanwed loudly as she walked down the hallway looking all tired,hair disheveled and heels all held in one hand. She walked past Willow's nursery and then reverted when she noticed someone else inside. It was Landon. He was sleep on the couch with the baby on his chest and what made the whole image more amusing was the baby powder plastered all over his face. Willow was definitely comfortable sleeping on his white pristine shirt and from the looks of it,they pretty much had a rough time with each other. It was a whole new enigma seeing him in the father position and she slowly and gently scooped Willow out of his arms and placed her inside her cot. ‘Goodnight sweetheart'.She whispered and kissed her forehead. ‘You're back already'.Landon's voice was gruff and it startled her a little bit but
It was twilight by the time Alice woke up and it took her a minute to get herself when she realized she was back in her room and on the bed.How did I get here?,She thought as she changed into a much more comfortable night dress and stepped into bunny slippers.She went straight to the kitchen as her belly grumbled as her mind played out to her,Landon was right there but he was on his laptop this time.‘You are everywhere,𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍'.She muttered under her breath and he turned around sharply.‘You're awake?'.‘Isn't that obvious?'.‘Do you want coffee or something?'.‘Nah I'll just grab something to eat before I feed Willow, jeez have I been out that long'.She stretched her arms and an amusing glint appeared at the corner of his eyes.‘Five hours to b
Alice knew he wasn't going to answer the question for she didn't know the answer to it herself.She rolled on and about on the bed feeling restless and unable to sleep, the moment her eyes closed all she felt was Landon touching every sensitive part of her.Landon on the other hand couldn't sleep also,she haunted his dreams and they were pleasant ones—he dreamt of kissing her,wanting to make her feel safe when deep inside her, wanting to make her his again.‘What is wrong with you Alice/Landon?'.They asked themselves respectfully and sighed deeply as if they were on sync. ---------------------‘Is there any special occasion I don't know about??'.Lucas asked as he grabbed an apple from the fruit basket.‘Landon an
‘What did you say to her?'.Lucas whispered as he grasped onto his brother's arm who frowned in return.‘I didn't say anything'.Landon muttered and gently pushed his hand away.‘You must've done—’We kissed okay!'.’You what?!'.‘We kissed that's all'.Landon flared his arms as if in mock surrender and Lucas couldn't help the bewilderment as it plastered all over his face.‘Was it good?'.He asked almost on the brink of laughter but Landon didn't find it in any way amusing.‘Of course it was way beyond good Lucas and if she didn't run off I would've....what are you doing here anyway'.He stopped himself before giving much details into what happened and quickly changed the subject.‘Well she's crying the hell out and Catherine has turne
A WEEK LATER‘Do you have anything to say 𝒖𝒏 𝒋𝒆𝒖𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆?'.The young pastor with a very fluent French accent asked and Landon's lips set in a grim hard line.‘It's okay you got this'.Catherine whispered into his ears and after a moment of contemplating,he finally got to his feet and walked to the front of the little crowd.Alice's nipped her bottom lip when he took off the shades and even if he didn't cry when Grandma Lena was whisked away in a bag,she could clearly see the pain in his eyes.’She was a beautiful woman.Everyone knew my grandmother as a beautiful woman but I knew her as a mother,a mother who would smack the back of my head whenever she tried talking sense into...into...into me.I have a daughter and for once Grandma Lena never regarded her as a great grandchild but rather as a grandchild and I...'.He stuttered on and tried to fin
ANOTHER WEEK LATERAlice finally gave up on the idea of calling Landon for the umpteenth time since he wasn't picking any of the previous ones.A week gone and he was back to being the Landon she once knew—the Landon who didn't give a damn about anyone but himself—the Landon who totally forgot he has an almost three month old daughter.‘You know what I can't deal with this anymore!'.She flickered her wrists as she tried taking off a tight silver bracelet.‘Have you tried visiting?'.Emily asked as she walked into the room unexpectedly and Alice sighed deeply.‘Hey Mom'.‘Trouble with baby daddy?'.‘He won't even take any of my calls and whenever I call the office,Georgie just says he's out in a meeting or whatever'.Alice grunted and her mother smiled.
