Elena
I woke up very early so I could see Mr. Callum, but he is already gone. Mom said he had something very important to take care of, and he had to leave very early.
I pick up an apple from the basket on the kitchen table, munching on it instead of giving her a reply. I don’t want to think about last night, especially when mom is in front of me, and the words he said last night replay in my head.
I push the thought away while I think of something less worrisome.
I take a full look at mom and God, her stomach is getting bigger and more beautiful. The way it curves is another glamor on its own. She is getting the kitchen set up when she catches me staring at her for a long while.
She pauses as she glances at me with nervous eyes, “Hey, what are you doing? Why are you staring so hard at me?” her voice is soft.
I’m amazed at how her stomach grows with time. My hand is itching to rub her bulging stomach.
“You look so beautiful on your second pregnancy,” I say sweet words to her and she blushes, till she let out laughter. “Can I feel it?” I ask, feeling excited to know how it feels to rub my on the protruded belly.
“Sure, come feel it. But be careful she kicks.” she warns and laughs.
I come closer to put my hands on her stomach. It is so soft and heavenly. As I round my hands on it, I feel her kicking and I scream “oh boy!” Avera felt the kick too, and we both burst out in laughter.
“I-”
“I wish your dad was here, Elena.” she beats me to it. I wanted to say the same thing. But then, I’m reminded by my dad. I miss him. Jesus Christ, so fucking much.
” Mom, do you ever visit him?” I cease to laugh as I ask the question. Her face comes up red again and I see sweat dotting her forehead.
“I secretly do, Elena, I always do.” she says in her little broken voice. She’s about to choke when I rush for a glass of water from the flask.
I have tears at the corners of my eyes, but they don’t fall to my cheek yet as I stare at her eyes. “Thank you for loving him mom.” my voice gets a little low.
“You can’t thank me for loving my husband, Elena.” she hisses and pushes the cup away after gulping enough.
“I know,” I take a break from talking and look at her belly again. “Are you happy having the baby for Mr. Callum?” I take my eyes from her stomach to meet her eyes again.
She nods her head, “I love him, and I love the baby growing inside of me.” she answers with sincerity.
“Mom, does he love you?” I know I have been asking too many questions, but I want to be sure she is in safe hands. I want to convince myself that what happened last night was a mistake or something.
“He does love me, Elena.” She says with a smile parting her lips.
“Promise me you will be fine?” I hold out her hand as I drop the mug back on the table.
“Don’t I look healthy? The baby is healthy too so I will be fine.” She chuckles. It’s beautiful when she laughs, and when the breeze takes her red hair away from her face. Mom and I have the same hair color.
She doesn’t understand when I ask her to be fine. I don’t mean if she is healthy or the baby. My dad’s death hurt her a lot. I’m hoping her new love life fills up the hole he left in her heart. She promises to be fine. I sigh slowly before I let go of her hands. I have more important things to do so I need to hurry up and leave.
As I walk near the door, she calls my name and I turn back immediately to respond. “Do you mind if we go as a family to visit your dad? I want to tell him about the baby.” She says, excited. It is the best news that brighten my day. I have always visited him alone and now, it will be amazing if we go together. Me, mom and her unborn child.
“Of course, mom.” I yelp, running back to her to hug her. I hug and kiss her, while I run out of the kitchen through the door.
Like I said I have something important to do, so I rush quickly to my room and slam my door. I strip down, going into the bathtub. It doesn’t take long for me to bathe. I come out after a few minutes when I hear my phone ringing. I have an idea of who it is, so I rush to pick up the call.
It’s Ava. ” Hey, she’s alone. I saw her going out and it’s not school.” Ava gives me information on Riley. We have so much information to get from her and we will only succeed without the Quads around her.
“Where is the bitch heading to?” I ask as I draw my pants up my waist. I dress as I speak to her on the phone because I have to be with Ava as soon as possible.
“I had to track her Elena. She’s heading towards a bar right now and I think she has someone to meet.” She tells me, and I’m wondering what the fuck she’s doing there. Oops, did I forget she’s a pubic bitch. What if she’s meant to meet someone that would dig his dick into her.
“Keep an eye on her. I would be there soon.” I need to find out how she got the video of the rape.
If she was able to get the video then she probably knew the girl who was raped. Who knows, this could be planned between her and the Quads? I fucking don’t trust them.
“Sure. Be here as soon as possible.” She says and hangs up the call. I slip into a black leather pair of pants and a black leather long-sleeve shirt. The weather is a bit cold so it would be an advantage to me, even if I want to be a little disguised.
I finish up and rush downstairs, but first I make sure Avera is busy in the kitchen. I don’t want her to see the way I am dressed. She will suspect something and I’m in no position to start explaining. But one day, I wish to tell her everything including the fucking Quads as my mates.
