Planned Baby

Chapter 32 MINE

“Nothing. I will never let myself fall in love with someone like him, even if he told me he liked me. I will never fall for him twice.”

I feel weird. I know I should feel at ease now that Ellie is assuring me that she is done with the guy she once fell in love with. But instead, I feel scared without knowing the reason why I am feeling this way.

“Hey, dude! Are you okay?”

I looked at Nick who was seating beside me. I called him to join me for a drink. I feel like I needed it. There’s a lot of things going on in my mind.

“I just feel weird.”

“Is it because of Ellie’s first love?”

I frowned. First, love my ass. Nick chuckled. He knew I didn’t like what he said.

“Why are you frowning? It’s true. Or you prefer it as Ellie’s only love?” Then he laughs aloud.

I was close to punching him, I just clenched my jaw. Who the heck is that guy anyway?!

“Kidding aside, I know I’m right. Ellie is the reason why you called me this late to have a drink.” Nick said in a serious voice.

I heaved a sigh. “Ellie assured me that even though the guy came back and confess to her, she will not fall for that guy again.”

“What’s the problem then?”

I shook my head. “I know I should feel at ease but it was the opposite. For some reason, I feel scared when she told me that.”

“Huh?! That’s weird indeed. It’s as if you are telling yourself that you want Ellie to fall again to that guy. Is that your way to distance yourself from her?”

“What?! Of course not! I will never let any guy steal Ellie from me.” I said with full conviction.

“I know because it’s obvious that you already fell for her. I’m just wondering why aren’t you doing any move on her? Are you that confident that Ellie will not be stolen by another guy?” He asked in a serious tone.

I look at Nick, he looks serious and curious at the same time.

“I told her I like her so many times.”

“And then?” He asked a bit impatient.

“She doesn’t want to believe me. It happens that she heard our conversation in my office.”

His forehead creased seems like he doesn’t remember it anymore.

“Remember when we had your first meeting with them for the LHI project? We talked in my office about her pregnancy and my canceled engagement.”

Flashback

“You finally got away with your wedding,” Nick said.

“Yes! Finally! I didn't expect that I will be thankful that I got someone pregnant. Because of her pregnancy, I finally got rid of Hadley Adelson.”

I am always careful whenever I do a one-night stand because I know that some girls will do everything to entrap me and demand marriage. But for some reason, I let myself unguarded with her. It’s as if everything is fine if it’s her. I don’t mind her owning me.

When I first saw her that night in a club, I find myself going to her. I saw many guys try to approach her, for some reason I wanted her to reject them and she did.

Then when I approached her, I feel like I’m finally home. I was not planning to own her that night. But her actions are telling me that she wants it, I’m no saint, I’m really attracted to her, and it will be my honor to own her.

When I found out that she was a virgin, I wanted her first to be memorable. I do it with much care and gentleness.

I was shocked when I woke up and I didn’t find her. But fate has its plan.

We met many times, some may say that it is pure coincidence but for me it’s fate. She is fated with me. Though I know that for her, meeting me again means trouble.

Imagine my shock when she wants to pretend that she didn’t know me. I was her first! How can she be so cold?

If it’s another girl, I’m sure that they will cling to me and demand to take responsibility because I was their first. But then again, Ellie is not like any other girl.

The reason why I don’t do virgins. Ellie is the only exemption.

When she told me that she just treat me as her experience and she will do it with another guy, I feel like I want to kill someone. Ellie being with another guy is torture for me. I will never allow it to happen.

I was back from reality when Nick spoke.

“But didn't she demand you to marry her?” Nick asked.

I shook his head. “No, she didn't. As per her, I was not part of her plan. She doesn't want to marry me. She only wants the twins.”

Nick laughs aloud. “You’re so lucky, dude!”

“I know I finally got an heir. My parents will not force me to settle down now. I have Ellie and the twins as an excuse.”

“But are you sure that she will not demand it? I mean what if it was just a part of her plan? She will act as if she’s not interested, to gain your trust and then in the end she will demand you to marry her.”

I shrugged. “I don’t mind.”

His eyes widen. “What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you like her?”

“I don’t know. All I know is, everything is fine with me as long as it’s her. If she wants me to marry her, I will do it, as long as it’s her.” I said in all honesty.

“You are screwed, dude!”

End of flashback.

“Oh, shoot! Did she hear us? But did she listen to our whole conversation?” Nick asked.

“I don’t think so. She will not react that way if she did.”

Nick nodded. “I agree because if she did, she will surely believe you when you told her you like her.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I grab my glass with Bowmore scotch and sipped on it.

“But you can’t be this idle Ulie. Time will come when another guy will take fancy of Ellie even though she already has a child.”

“I know but I will never let that thing happen. Ellie is mine.”
