Dani POVMy reflection stared back at me. Puffy eyes, untamed hair and dried tears. Thankfully whatever products Stella had used for me were water proof and stopped my tears from ruining my make up. My chest heaved up and down in the dress, the dress i looked stunning in. I held both sides of the sink as i tried to keep myself from standing upright.I needed the break. I closed my eyes and sucked on my buttom lips as i tried to think through of the things that happened.I exhaled and stared at myself in the mirror again. I was a mess and Arthur had hugged me knowing fully well how i looked like.Arthur.He was here.Its obvious that he likes you.“No, no he doesnt.” i muttered to mysefl trying to counter the ridiculous thought of his liking to me. “He doesnt like me like that, we’re just friends.”Friends? Friends don’t leave their dates which they’re romantically involved with to be with you, they don’t also donate blood to your kid unless they like you that much. My inner thoughts f

Song: Shameless by Camilla Cabello (Listen to this)Arthur PovDani stared back at me with teary eyes, guilt and shame pushed through the sacks where they hid and showed themselves to me.Oh Dani.“You’re not-” her voice broke down and she fell into my arms, her body vibrated in my arms and her tears poured unto my shirt but it didn’t matter to me because it didnt matter if she she stained my shirt, i just wanted her to know i was for her and nowhere against her. If the entire world was going to turn their back to her then i was going to make sure she didn’t miss the rest of the world.“Its okay Dani, it’s all okay. I’m not going to judge you for anything.” I muttered and rubbed her back in slow motions, she was right, anyone would want to blame her for her mistakes but the world we lived in always reminded us of how much human we are, how weak we are to our thoughts, actions, emotions. I have been in the web of mistakes, trapped and till this day it haunts me, but i wasn’t going to l

Song: ​Not going anywhere by Amanda CookDani POVArthur’s hands caressed my thighs as we drove back to the hospital, we had showered and i suggested we returned back to the hospital after eating. Arthur had his gaze on the dimly lit road, the soft sound from the radio kept the silence at bay and i chewed on my buttom lips as my stomach did back flips. We had shared a kiss, not once, and i liked it. Arthur had again proved that he didn’t care so much of the things that had happened to me but that the only thing he was worried about was me, he was always looking out for me.No man had gone this far for me, i didnt let any.. Ever since what happened with my family and giving birth to Ava, a strong concrete wall surrounded me and i made sure everyone stayed outside the wall- away from my vulnerable self, away fromt he woman who didn’t feel complete.Now, i watched as my walls slowly fall because of the man who stood in front of it. The man who came with compassion and not a hammer to bre

Song: Fear on Fire by RuelleArthur POV“You two should take care, enjoy yourselves.” Mrs Tan said as she left the house. Ava was sitting on the couch with her book in hands, she was quite engrossed in the prints and pictures that nothing else mattered to her.Ava. My daughter.Its been quite an intense two weeks with work and the sudden news of who Ava is to me, it was nothing i expected to hear but here was facts been thrown in my face.“Arthur?” My head snapped to Dani who was tieing her hair properly on the top of her head. She looked lighter, her eyes brighter, the soft lips i had kissed two weeks ago slightly parted. Dani, the mother to my child.Did she know? Her brows furrowed at me and i smiled at her. Of course she doesn’t, she would’ve said something. She would’ve. She would’ve not left it out to me that she was the same woman i had met five years ago.“Whats on your mind?” She asked as i rolled up the sleeves of my shirt, she reached for the bag on the counter but i stoppe

Dani POVHe closed the lid of the pot and turned to me with a smile, his hands brushed over mine slightly as he moved back a little. Even after speaking to his brother, Arthur came back with a smile on his face which I suspected was to avoid me asking questions.My hands curled around the cold counter, locking and unlocking as I tried to think of another thing to ask him about.“So how long do we have to wait before it's ready?” I asked and he crossed his hands over his chest and then started at the pan.“Six to seven minutes,” he replied. “Didn’t realise that you are longing to eat my food so much.” the corner of his lips tilted in a smirk and i rolled my eyes.“You dont have to say it like that, i’m sure its going to taste as basic-” he tugged his brows up, daring me to complete my sentence. We stared at each other for a while, nobody saying anything as the silence spoke in our stead until Ava’s tiny feet crossed into the kitchen pulling us away from the trance.“Arthur, i need to a
