?Episode 17?
Penny’s POV:
The day at the cafe was slowly coming to an end.
In an hour time, I’ll be fetching Christian from school.
Since Maggie was tending to the customers, i sat down on the chair and placed my head on my hands.
Who could believe…..who could believe that after everything I shared with Alexander,he still left me.
It all started on my second year in college. I came out of the library but I couldn’t find Sasha, nor my car.
The school is already lonely, we don’t live at the hotel rather we live in the city.
I was stranded, I got no money on me.
He was my good Samaritan that night. He gave me a lift back to my apartment.
Since that day we became good friends, whenever he visits me Sasha always have something to say.
She never liked him.
One day he asked me to be his girlfriend, secretly I had been wishing for the day to come and when it finally came, I grabbed it with both hands.
He was my first, my first in everything. The first man I fell in love with and still the only man.
The first man that had my body, heart and everything all together.
The love i had for Alexander was so strong.
He loved me.
Everything he did showed and convinced me that he loved me.
He was sweet and romantic, loving, supportive.
Name it.
But..
It all ended the day I got pregn@nt.
Alex and I have always been careful while having sx.
We’re still in college and of course not ready for a child yet.
I was on mini pill but after the sx that night, I was called home by my father which made me forgot all about it.
The next three weeks was h.ell for me, especially when I discovered that I was pregn@nt.
I remembered his words very loud and clear.
“We have a whole lot of life planned out for ourselves Penny and sure not a baby!
I have nothing to do with this child, i dont want it.” He rejected his own child even before he was born.
The thought of that made me sick, the thought of the father of my baby not acknowledging him made me sick.
I loved him, well I still do.
A thought crossed my mind and I smiled.
The night he possessed the whole of me. The night he claimed my b0dy.
“Hey babe, the pizza is here.” He called from the room.
“Give me a minute.” I shout back, I dried myself up with the big towel and wrapped it around me.
When I came out of the bathroom, Alex was placing the pizza inside a plate.
I stood there, watching him.
He look so elegant and confident.
“After watching me like that, you’ll go and get dressed.” He said and I blushed hard.
D@mn, he just caught me watching him.
I stood there transfixed, not knowing what to do or say. I buried my eyes on the ground and started counting the Mable’s on the floor with my legs
He was soon standing in front of me.
He brought up his hand and caress my chin.
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered and kssed my jaw, then my cheek before kssing my l1ps.
I kssed him back, my hands smelled around his n.eck and hold him toghtly to myself.
I loved him.
My back hit the bed and I fall back, my t0wel loosen and i lay n@ked for his eyes to feast on.
He started staring at me, at that moment i felt so self conscious.
“What if he doesnt love my body?” I continously asked myself.
“Fk i just want to eat you up Penny.” He said and my eyes Widened. Due to my inexperienced self, i thought he is a c@nnibal.
“Eat me?” I asked. He chuckled and nods his head.
“I want to fk you r@w and ha.rd.” He said and his mouth wrap around my npp1e.
All I wanted was him.
I gave him everything, my vrgnity, my love, my trust.
How could you be so heartless to leave me Alexander?
My eyes closed involuntarily and I quickly open it.
I can’t, I can’t be needy right now.
I have survived it for few years, I can keep it up.
I wanted to grow old by his side, i still want to.
A lone tear escaped my eyes and I tried to stop myself from breaking down.
He was always there for me.
What later changed?
He begged for forgiveness and stayed with me during my pregn@ncy period.
What changed?
“You know, a strong woman is not someone who is mentally strong. Neither I it someone who is physically strong.
A strong woman is that woman who makes a decision by herself even if they are mistakes, a strong woman is someone who doesnt need to be pushed around. A strong woman is the heroine of her own story.
You’re a strong woman Penelope.” I turned around and my mouth hung open.
“How……..”
