Shattered

Smirks And Smiles

I woke up early in the morning because Nathan wouldnt let me leave last night.

And I was glad he didnt because all those times he was there for me, I prayed that he never left.

I tip toe downstairs to meet Charlotte. 

She's seated on the barstools and drinking coffee.

"Morning." I greet her. She smiles.

"Morning. " she gives a small wave.

"How was the vacation?" I ask sitting next to her.

"It was fine." She says.

"Come on." I nudge her.

"It really was." She says.

"Okay, I'll start with my story then. I was heart broken when I found out my babies died before I met them... hell I'm still very hurt by that. I just went into some shock.

I couldnt do anything, I couldnt feel anything. Everything just went blank.

But your brother? He was there for me. He helped me so much in more ways than bathing me.

He cared. I valued that.

Yesterday, your mom told me to stop feeling sorry for myself. That Ethan needs me and I am not there for him.

That sure snapped me out, because I lost two of my babies and now I'm pushing away the only one that has been there for me through alot.

I appreciate your family Charlotte." I end by saying. Feeling my throat scratch a bit.

She nods. She stares at me for a while now before she speaks.

"Scott says he wants a polygamous relationship." She says.

I watch her carefully, reading every expression that passes by in her diamond eyes.

"How do you feel about that?" I ask her.

"Well I would have been fine if he let me know earlier in the relationship or I dont know before he introduced me to my co-future-wife!" She yells.

"Please Charlotte your brother is sleeping and so is my son. What happened?" I ask her.

"Well when I got to Rio, I met his family and all and they loved me. We kicked it off and it was fun.

Alot of alcohol and late night fire parties.

And then his mother just said to him. 'She's ready' I have no idea what she meant I was ready for.

The next morning , I was woken up to get dressed and go out.

We went for lunch. And I thought he was going to propose to me. I was so happy at that moment." She says. Her voice breaks.

"Then what happened?" I urge her.

She gulps very loudly and looks at me in my eyes.

"When we got to lunch, we sat down and ordered. At first I was surprised that there were three chairs on our table. But I thought maybe its his favourite place to sit.

A young lady walked and sat next to us.

Her name is Nia. She is Mexican and absolutely beautiful.

I thought they were friends or something when she sat with us.

Then when he looked at me in my eyes, I knew he was about to fuck up." She says. Now tears are rolling down her eyes.

"He told me that she is my co-wife. That he wants to marry me and add me to his family.
