I got home from work at 3am and plopped down on my couch. I closed my eyes thinking of how my life had taken a huge jump tonight when I saw Ransom again. With my eyes closed I could feel his lips on mine and his fingers trailing all over my body. I groaned but then I felt something jump on my chest and peaked my eyes open to see my cat sitting on my chest.
"Hey you." I said and petted her head. "You will never guess who I saw tonight at work..." I said and the cat jumped off of me and ran away. I groaned. "Yeah well I didn't get that chance when I saw him!" I yelled.
I adopted the kitten when I got to my new place. I just wanted some form of company and it was a cruel joke since Ransom called me kitten. I looked at my tattoo on my wrist at the angel wings. Ransom had some wings too, over his heart. I didn't think he cared that much.
***FLASHBACK***
Ransom and I sat in the doctor's office both silent. I wouldn't have felt like I was in my body but I felt Ransom holding my hand.
"Are you sure?" I asked and the doctor nodded with a somber look on his face.
"But we passed the 3-month mark, we were going to tell my family tonight at dinner." Ransom said and I just looked down at my lap.
"A miscarriage can happen at any time Mister Drysdale. Unfortunately this was just one of those times. Clover is a healthy young woman and you guys can both try again. Things just happen." The doctor said and I just felt tears falling.
"Just happen?! What kind of answer is that?!" Ransom yelled and I sighed.
"Ran, please stop." I said and he just looked at me.
"Clo..." Ransom said. He finally just looked at me and saw I was crying. He pulled me close to him and held me as I cried. "You want to go home?" Ransom asked and I nodded.
"I'm really sorry for you loss." The doctor said as we walked out of his office. Ransom held my hand all the way to his house as I looked out the window. Once we got inside we made it to the couch and I broke down in tears. Ransom just held me and cried himself, he didn't know what else to do to make this better for me.
🧩 🧩 🧩
After the miscarriage everything started to get strained between Ransom and I. We were cleared to try again and Ransom was very distant. He would go out every night, alone or with his buddies and would be gone all night leaving me alone, not coming home until the early hours of the morning.
I finally had enough.
"I'm going out." Ransom said and kissed the top of my head as he headed to the door.
"Ransom!" I said and he stopped and looked at me. I was sitting on the couch naked. I did it to see if he would notice.
"Damn kitten..." Ransom said and then rushed over, throwing a blanket over me. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
"Trying to get your attention! It's been months Ransom! I'm cleared for sex and I want my boyfriend to stay home and fuck me! Can't you just skip going out one night?!" I asked and he growled.
"I'm going out, I've made these plans already. I have to go." Ransom said and I shook my head.
"You walked out of the door I won't be here when you get back Ransom. I swear to god! I don't need this." I said. He hesitated but then walked out anyways.
I went upstairs, put on some leggings and a t-shirt and packed up and left.
***END FLASHBACK***
I got up from the couch and decided to make myself a middle of the night snack. I didn't eat dinner. I pulled out my peanut butter and jelly and sighed just looking at everything on the counter. I then put everything away. I didn't want food, I didn't know what I wanted but peanut butter and jelly wasn't going to help this empty pit in my stomach.
I went into my room and got changed for bed and curled up to go to sleep. Every time I closed my eyes I saw Ransom. Ransom from when we were together. He was happy, then Ransom from tonight. He looked sad, face was drawn and looked like he hadn't gotten a decent night's sleep since I left.
I groaned and got out of bed. I grabbed my keys and left the apartment. I needed to take a drive, clear my head. As I drove I wasn't sure where I was going until I pulled into his driveway and parked next to his Beamer. I sighed and looked at the all glass house. I just sat there and looked at the house I used to live in with him. Our lives were here, we were happy...all until we lost the baby.
I rubbed my stomach and sighed. I then thought if the baby had been born would Ransom and I still even be together? I also thought we were a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. I saw the kitchen light flick on and I panicked so I quickly pulled out of the driveway and headed back home. I just wanted solitude and I didn't know where I could even get that.
🧩 🧩 🧩
I woke up the next morning to my cellphone ringing.
"Hello?" I asked groggily.
"Clover Quinn Harding are you still in bed?! Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?!" My mother, Monica's voice screeched.
"No, it my day off." I said sitting up. My parents had no clue about my real job. They thought I was putting my interior design degree to good use working at a posh studio.
"Oh well I'm calling to invite you to an event tomorrow night." Monica said and I groaned.
"Mom, not my scene, please don't make me go." I said.
"Well too bad, you presence has been request by the guest of honor." Monica said.
"Which is?" I asked.
"Harlan Thrombey. His birthday and they are having some big party. It's cocktail attire, so please be presentable and cover up your damn tattoos that can be seen." Monica said.
"Fine but I have to be gone by 9pm." I said.
"I know dear. Just make an appearance." Monica said.
"Okay, that all? I had a bad night and want to get some sleep." I said.
"Yes, that's all. Tomorrow night 6pm, Harlan's house." She said and hung up. I put my phone down.
"Fucking Ransom." I said out loud knowing he had his hand in this.
