Only Her Desires

Chapter 1

My name is Scarlett and I have a lovely baby boy Luke his now only 2 years old and I am engaged to a hard but loving man Dax,

We have been together for over 9 years now and never decided to get married as we have had it hard we have just left our current home and moved to the big city were the money is supposed to be, we are not rich nor poor just pulling through on a monthly basis, His family is all rich and expect the same from us, he thinks life owes him everything and everyone is out to screw him over.

Dax is a typical male if it's not his way then it's no way at all whereas I am a stubborn woman, as I won't back down I don't want to have a man demanding me to do things and my life motto is give all you can what you give you get back so we are complete opposites and that's why we fight all the time but that's normal in a relationship right...

When Luke was born everything changed I did not go out parting like we did every weekend and most of the time in the week. Dax and I started to drift apart he didn't stop going out he just went on his own and ended up having more fun on his own than when we went out together, that's when life for me did a U-turn in front of my eyes although I kept telling myself I was just imagining thing and brushed it off

I started a new job and it was going ok the business was turning a profit but we wanted to broaden the company so we were undergoing a merger that's where I met Weston but everyone knew him as Wes, we became quick friends he was very easy to talk to and always makes everyone smile, we exchanged cell numbers and we started talking all innocent we were just friends and we became close he would always give me advice on how to handle all the tough nights I was having with Dax. He was like my adviser on the male mine if I could call him that.

He would go out parting with his friend well I was home with a sick baby and then when he decided to come home after 4am drunk as a skunk and start screaming at me because Luke would see him drunk and that he could not get up the stairs by himself that was my wakeup call in our relationship that 9 Years have come to an end, I could not have my son grow up in a unstable invironment like that and I had to get out as much as it will hurt me my baby comes first.

Wes was my shoulder to cry on in a sense as it is always easier to talk to someone over texts than it is in person in our case Whatsup.

I don't have many friends as I am an introvert but the few I do have I only see on occasion but we talk most of the time I am very close to my Cozen she was my first friend and we have been together she is currently in London but I could tell you everything that's happening in her life and same as her she knows all in mine we like to think our family is close but not always so we just keep in touch with each other

I have only recently became closer to my sister we drifted apart for a while but we getting on track now

My mom and I are close it was in the beginning mom and I for a while so we grew very close. I love to back and I was lucky I inherited her skill and one day I will pass it on well so I hope...

A few weeks of us becoming friends Weston left the company for another job now we don't see each other at all but we do still talk is it possible to feel so close to a friend even though you never see each other can you even get to know someone with just talking on the phone? All these questions and no answers to give,

I am driving myself crazy so I make some coffee and getting back to the bedroom and Dax is on his phone as normal he is living on his phone and when he has no phone in his hands his watching movies on his PC he does not play or spend time with Luke and when Luke wants to play like any 2 year old he shouts and makes a noise when playing it the best sound in the world I love it and his got such a personality of his own sometimes his so cheeky but I can reprimand him as his dad is the one at fault it is not easy trying to be a single parent when you actually in a family of 3 but as a mom you tend to pick up what his dad can't give him and become the mom and dad.

"Dax please can you keep an eye on Luke for me today I have to go into work and sort-out some of the accounts, I should not be more than an hour"

"No, I have to go to work as well you can take Luke with you"

"Oh I thought you wanted to take him to the zoo today?"

"No I said I am going to work so how the fuck do you expect me to take the kid to the zoo?"

With a sigh, not to put more fuel on the fire I got Luke ready to come with me to work and grabbed all that I need for the day, it always work like this when Luke is sick and cannot go the school I have to take off this month alone I have taken 2 weeks off firs my baby had bronchitis and ear infection then he had a viral infection all in one month lucky for me I have a understand boss even though she is my boss we are more friends.

"Scarlett did Dax not say he was taking Luck to the zoo today?"

"Yip sorry Hope, his working again so I brought Luke with me again,"

"That's not a problem I will get Anna to keep an eye on him with my two well we get all the accounts up to date"

"Thank you Hope"

We were working for a few hours when we were finally done

On the way home I took Luke to the park it was a lovely day out and why waste it sitting home so we played at the park for a while when he started to get sleepy we went home, we got back to an empty house Dex was probably still working or out with friends but he was not home yet.

"Hey Wes, How are you doing?"

"Good thank you and you?"

"Ok thanks Dex is working again today Luke is sleeping so I am just chilling what you doing today?"

"Just getting ready for work you know some of us get the unlucky work of doing nigh shift?"

"Yea but its good for us who struggle with insomnia and cannot sleep so you have to chat to keep awake hahahaha"

"That is true one of the perks I guess"

I went off to start dinner Dex came in after 8 when luck had already had dinner and bathed and I had just put him down for his sleep, I wish I could fall asleep just as my head hit the pillow like Luke could,

Dex and I got into an argument and I could honestly not say what it was about but it was the end of our engagement he took my ring back and packed his bags I can't say if I'm feeling sad, relived and hurt maybe all at the same time it's not nice all I can think about is what will Luke think will he blame me for this now he will never see his dad or will he be ok with it as there won't be that much fighting.

But little did I know he would be back.
