View MoreValerie Two months later..................."Why," I questioned. "Why now," I was almost near to pnaick. "Why?" My father asked. "What do you mean by why. We are just going to meet each other and Bryan called me here to meet with him, Valerie. I think we should have talked to each other months back." Dad said while standing at the entrance of the house and by dad I meant Travis. I called them both dad but this was going to be first freaking time they were going be together face to face. I won't lie this whole dad one and dad two concept was so confusing for me. I have already told them if they ever were in the same room I will call them by their name rather than Dad. I haven't let them meet each other until now. If you remember when Bryan met Laura's father he beat the shit out of him. I don't want a recap of that with Travis. Gosh I still cringed thinking how beat up Laura's father was after Bryan's beating. "I'm having a bad feeling about this." I really was not going to tend t
Valerie "I.. never knew." a tremble in his voice made me believe that he really had no idea that what had happened."When my father came to know that I wasn't his he decided to hurt my mother by having affairs and dangling them in front of her," I paused taking in deep breaths. "My mother loved my father a lot but she understood what she had done," I continued even though all the memories were painful."She knew that she had hurt him too much, betrayed him. So she decided not to fight with Dad, she fought with the pain she suffered but she didn't give up easily. For four years she lived on knowing how her husband was cheating and hurting her. She lived for me until the day it became too much to handle." A tear escaped my eyes as I remembered finding her dead. The memory was ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking up to Travis I saw his eyes turned away from mine. He couldn't even look at me anymore.If only he had been brave enough to do the test last time this wouldn'
ValerieI waited for him in the cafe near my office, and let me tell you it was torture. The smell of coffee was in the air and it was hard to not have it. So I did the right thing and ordered one latte for me. I googled and even my doctor said a cup a day won't do any harm but under the watchful eye of Carmen, Shay, and dad I couldn't even have a whiff of coffee. One little sip of it was heaven for me. It had been six days since the thought of meeting him has been taking over my mind. The last I had seen him was a week before.Last night I had asked Aiden for his number when he came home with me. Aiden did really give me space and time. He called before even thinking of coming and he apologized times and again because of his mother showing up here. I really didn't say much about what happened between me and his mother. The only words that slipped my lips was that I didn't like her and he had promised that she won't disturb me anymore. I had called Travis and asked him to meet me at t
Valerie "You know Val, my mom and dad were the best parents I ever could have asked for. Always loving and caring, never let me go sad and they never fought, not in front of me. I wanted to be like them showering my child with all the love and happiness I could give," he sniffled."I got that chance but I just flushed it down the toilet. You may have not been mine but you knew me as your father only. When I came to know you weren't mine, I withdrew from you, from my little girl. I still remember the day when I found you as usual by the door to greet me with that dazzling smile but I let you down. Didn't smile at you, neither picked you up and just moved inside the house," he wiped away his tear and I broke so much on the inside."You followed me for days with that smile of yours waiting for daddy to pick you up and make you laugh. You waited for me to be there to play with you but I just retreated in myself and hated you. You weren't mine was only I think about then. I felt betrayed
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 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 "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"The fucked up fact was seeing and hearing my father fucking some bitch that night. It hurt back then, I loathed him and hated him then. You can't imagine how scared I was when his friends would come to the house, some eyeing me up. The house reeked of sex and alcohol. I didn't have anyone to protect me and keep me safe. I couldn't sleep with the fear that someone would come up my room. Even the lock on my door didn't assure me. Dad was always wasted or fucking some two dollar whore. The only thing I'm thankful for, was the fact that he was there to kick out his friend when he tried to come at me. Somewhere, I saw the dad I once had, but it vanished too quickly when he turned away from me and walked away. Two days later, I packed what little stuff I had, and hopped on a bus that would take me to my granny. A little me on a bus with the hopes that she would accept me and she did. That was the day I started again. I still can't fully blame dad, you know. He loved mom a lot and k
Valerie "So Aiden isn't coming today?" Shay asked sitting beside me. I had been like hell mad at Aiden and who wouldn't be. He was mingling in my personal business. It had become a daily routine for Aiden to drop by at my house every evening before he went to his. He didn't want to miss any part of our child growing, even if it was in my tummy but after what happened today had I had to cut him off. I swear, if I saw him, I would say things that I would definitely regret. I didn't have control over my emotions nowadays. I was a mess emotionally. Well, that is what pregnancy would do to me. I would feel hundred times more emotional than I normally did. The doctor had told me with sweet words, Welcome to pregnancy! Note the sarcasm. "Did you not listen to me, Shay? I told him to stay away from me, and you are still asking me that dumb questions." See, this is what pregnancy is doing to me. With a frown on her face, she looked at me without blinking. "I'm sorry, it's just the-." "Hor
