Between Lust and Love (Erotic)

Before Clayton went home he said he would pick her up tomorrow morning for her check-up. She just nodded at him. He was tired of arguing.

Clayton accompanied her the next day to the doctor. They found out that she was about two months pregnant. She was prescribed vitamins for her and their child.

Clayton even wanted them to go to the Mall to buy infants clothes. She just stopped him and said not to buy yet because it was still too early. The man listened even though he seemed excited to go shopping for his future child.

He didn’t say anything about Red or Faith. Red called her several times but she did not answer his call not even once.

She was with Clayton almost every day for a week. He already let her choose her wedding dress. Clayton wanted the marriage to happen next month. She wants to be happy but she feels empty because she knows it is not right for Clayton to marry her just for the sake of their child.

How about Faith? This is the woman he wants to marry before, the woman he really loves.

****************

She was alone at home because her mother left for a while and said she had something to buy when an unexpected visitor came. She was shocked when she opened the door and saw the woman outside the door.

“May I come in?”

She quietly opened the door wide. The woman’s eyes were already observing their house as her eyes were busy examining their place when she was already inside.

“I don’t want to know the details of how Clayton got you pregnant. I’m just here to remind you that he will only marry you because of the child. I’m sure you already know that. I’m sure also that you already know that Clayton really wishes to marry me. I’m the one he loves. I don’t want you to regret marrying him knowing that someone else already owns his heart, “her long litany.

She just nodded while listening to the woman.

“If you still continue your marriage with him then let me warn you that most likely we will still have a relationship. I don’t care if I’m going to be his mistress because I know in myself that I have more right to him than you. If you want to save yourself from a loveless marriage then just stay away. Don’t lower yourself and you’ll just look like you’re begging for love from Clay. There’s a big possibility that your marriage won’t work plus Clay can have custody for your child if he wants to, “after saying that the woman stood up and walked out the door.

Her mind was somewhere else. It was as if she was floating when she stood up as well to follow her outside.

Faith was already in the doorway when she faced her again.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” she said last before finally leaving.

Her decision was final. She would not marry Clayton. She knew the man would not consent.

Her mother still has contact with her sister in Tagum City in Davao del Norte. Instead of going home to Olongapo, she changed her mind. Clayton could quickly track them down if they returned to Olongapo because that was what he knew they had planned before.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

She has already booked a ticket with her mother. She sold some of their belongings to the house next door even at a low price so that they would not have much to take away with them.

She finally talked to Red when he went to their house. He could barely look at her when they were face to face.

“I know no matter how many times I apologize, it’s not that easy to forgive me. I only showed up now because I’m still embarrassed to face you,” he told her shyly.

They were inside their house and sat facing each other while her mother let them talk first so she left them alone.

“I also confronted Clayton about you and your pregnancy. I didn’t know that he’s capable again to…” he couldn’t continue what he was going to say but she knew what he was referring to.

Red didn’t expect his brother could impregnate someone after he accidentally heard about Clayton’s problem from the doctor.

“It’s okay, Red. I understand what you did. You’ve done more good things to me so I’m willing to forgive you. You’re a good person. Let’s just forget about what happened,” she said with a smile.

She chose to forgive him because she didn’t want to leave without them even getting along well again.

“Thank you, Sam. You just don’t know how happy I am for your forgiveness,” he said cheerfully.

She hugged him. She was sad to think that this would be their last time together.

Their flight to Davao would be two days from now.

Of course, she wouldn’t let Red know that.

He let go of her hug while still smiling.

“I’m still happy that you’ll be part of our family forever. I’m excited to see my nephew,” Red was truly happy and it was evident on his face.

She avoided the sad expression on her face because Red might wonder. She smiled even though she didn’t say anything.

“You didn’t even mention that Clay and you were getting along. I was really wondering when he kept asking me about you when I was in the States. He even asked me if I truly love you. Of course, I said yes because I really love you. I love you as a friend or family member. I already adored you since the beginning so I didn’t hesitate to propose to you regardless of my gender. I’m happy for you and Clayton, “he said sincerely.

She really wanted to say goodbye to him properly. She didn’t want to just disappear like a bubble but she had no other choice. It’s better that Red doesn’t know so that he doesn’t have to lie to Clayton.

Red stared into her eyes.

“Do you love my brother?” he suddenly asked.
