The One For Him

The One For Him ~ 42

"I'm going to find who did this to you", he said thru gritted teeth. His hazel eyes welled up with tears of anger and worry.

"Alex, it's just some scratch. They're nothing."

"You were almost killed. Good thing there were no cars passing by or else—", he clenched his fist in despair.

I caressed his face with the back of my bandaged hand.

"Babe, it's all right. I'm fine. The doctor said baby is unharmed and well. You don't have to confine me here."

"I'll feel much better if you are and besides Jenna needs to take some rest."

"But not in the hospital? We can stay at home."

"She needs to take some dose for her anxiety attack."

"There wasn't much blood", I pouted.

Insinuating a little blood shouldn't caused anyone to faint but Jenna bumped her head on the sidewalk when she fell, so she was sent for a CT-scan and MRI to make sure there was no active bleeding. I was almost sent for X-rays but I declined for I was with child.

I know I didn't break any bones, duh!

"Stop pouting. Jenna's been vulnerable ever since we were kids when it comes to blood."

'I didn't see her fainting when you, Lloyd and Marc were bloodied during that fight', referring to that graduation party where he first saw me.

"She was drunk."

"Oookaay...", I sighed, resigned.

Alex frowned, he must have noticed I was a bit pissed off.

"I love you."

"Love you, too."

Then there's a soft knock on the door.

"She's awake now", Lloyd came inside my room, smiling. "She's asking about you. Told her you're in a more better shape than she is."

Him and Jenna reconciled with the help of my baby and Marc, of course. It's a happy ending for everyone.

Well, almost except for that bitch who tried to harm me but maybe it's just a coincidence. I never met her before. But how come it looks like she knew me pretty well?

"Marc called", him and Alex exchanged secret glances. Alex nodded, leaned towards me and kissed my forehead.

"I'll be back."

"Where are you going?"

"I'll call Marc."

"Do it here", I pouted.

"No. Out. Stay in bed", then he left with Lloyd.

Hmm... What was that all about? Is he keeping a secrets from me again?

I sighed.

Oh well, I'm going to call Mom and Dada then.

I slowly stood up and grimaced. My bandaged knees and left hand still hurts. I went to the table where my bag was located. I took my phone and frowned.

An unknown number was registered there, someone called me.

I was about to dial mom's number when suddenly my phone rang again. It was the same unknown number.

I pushed the green button and listened.

"I will never let you and your bastard live, you slut! I'll make sure you'll die before you'll be his wife!", a woman's whispered, angry voice said.

The lady in a brown coat instantly came to my mind. My heartbeat accelerated. I started breathing heavily. Not because of fear but because of anger.

"I'll see you in hell first, you bitch!", I screamed at her.

I heard her gasped before the call went off.

"You dare threatened me and my baby?! You're messing with the wrong mama, bitch!", I said through the phone, though I was pretty sure she could never hear me now.

I shoved my phone inside my bag furiously.

I'll call Mom later once I'm not fuming with anger anymore.

I sighed, turned around and saw Alex leaning on the door jam, arms crossed against his chest, left eyebrow arched.

Yikes! I didn't hear the door open.

I bit my lower lip for his yumminess was oozing as usual.

"So, who could that bitch be, Mrs. Soon-to-be Carter?"

He slowly walked inside the room, closed the door with his foot and sauntered lazily inside towards me.

"And since when did you started receiving calls that makes you curse like a pro, hmm?"

"This was the first."

I slowly walked towards the bed.

God, I know he's mad because I didn't heed his advice to stay on it.

I sashayed my way, swaying my hips so he would get distracted.

Alex cleared his throat. He came towards me, and stood beside my bed.

"Now tell me, who was the caller?", he inquired when I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I don't know her Alex, but I think it's that woman I saw on the street where I got shoved."

"Did you see her face?", he inquired.

"Yes, clearly. She seemed very angry at me but I don't even know her. Did you previously break someone's heart baby?", I asked a bit sarcastically.

Hmp!

He sighed. Put his hands inside his pants pockets.

"I broke many."

"Maybe she was your ex?"

"Could be."

Silence.

Then a thought came to me.

"You know Alex, your mother gave me a visit in school before."

His frowned deepen.

Oh-oh.

"When was this?"

"I think a week before we found out I was pregnant."

"And you never mentioned that to me?!"

"No, Mr. Carter because you never mentioned to me your mother hates me!"

"I don't talk to her, Clarissa."

"Well, she made it looked like you were. She even mentioned she wants Jenna and you to be together, and that I'm a gold digger!"

"Ah hell!", Alex pushed his hair back with his hand.

"Come here, baby", he pulled me up, let me seat on his lap and hugged me tight.

"Don't believe her, that's not true. I love you and that's the reason I'm marrying you."

"I know. She even said you'll throw me out once you're done with me", I whispered and pouted.

"She's right."

"What?!", I looked up and pushed him by the chest away from me but to no avail. He was just too strong for me.

"I'll throw you. I'll throw you on that bed and have my way with you."

"Oh...", I bit my lip.

"Uh-uh", he gave me a wet kiss on the lips.

I smiled at him and rubbed my face on his cheek.

"Your stubble tickles", I giggled.

"Want me to tickle your pussy with them?"

"Yes, please Mr. Carter."

He laughed.
