I Found the Babies

Chapter 12

Mom was always worried about me, because I was the only one in the whole family who had a short fuse. I had inherited my temper from my father, no doubt, but over the years of working in the army, he had become more disciplined and used his temper only when it was required. I, well, short circuited anytime and was quite known for my impulsiveness.

Dad never disciplined me, even when mom nearly begged him to. He always told her that he couldn't, even if he wanted to, because my pretty, big eyes always melted him. I was daddy's little princess, always, and cherished each and every moment I spent with him. I couldn't count the amount of times I cried and clung to his legs when he had to go back.

Over the years, as I matured, I got more tolerant and could rein in my temper till a limit. By now, I had gathered enough tolerance, but that didn't mean I wouldn't be impulsive.

God, I never knew I would pay like this for my impulsiveness.

Terrence was staring at my flushed face and wild hair, his blue orbs widened with disbelief. And not just him, all the other renowned business magnates that were sitting around the round table in his office were staring at me as well.

Oh fuck!

I distinctly heard the sound of a file, a pen and potato chips falling down on the floor, probably someone's jaw too.

Who was eating potato chips right now?

"Uh..." I let out a hesitant and nervous smile. "I'll come later. I thought Terrence wasn't busy. Sorry for the interruption, you guys can go on, I'll come later."

I was about to take a step back and flee out of the room when a voice said,

"No, no, it's completely fine, Mrs Powers. We were just about to leave." I looked at where the voice came from, and was about to smile when I saw him.

I froze in my spot and my eyes widened. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was sitting right next to Terrence, his arm slung over his stiff shoulders.

When Allie showed me his picture, I had no idea he was a business tycoon, let alone be the CEO of any major company. And the fact that he and Terrence were looking like some best buddies? Oh no.

Aaron Fischer, was none other that Allie's ex- love of life, the guy who took her virginity, and according to her, threw her away like an empty beer can even when he knew what she felt for him.

Allie was a year senior to me in university, where we first met. During her first year, she came across this hot, yet so adorable senior, and she was instantly attracted to him. He was a genuinely nice guy, she had told me, and that made her fall for him. Knowing Allie, she probably chased him around the university, declaring her undying love for him, not caring much about his rejections. At first, everyone thought she was just like the other hoes, wanting nothing but just to hook up with him, but slowly everyone believed that her feelings for him were way too cute, and everyone, literally, were shipping both of them.

The thing was, this Genuinely Nice Guy was a womanising douche. After letting her chase him for half a year, he started hanging out with her. Allie had always been an amazing company and there was no doubt that she was hot, seriously hot. One pretty night he took her to places she'd never been, taking her right to the high, and taking everything she had treasured for Mr Right.

The next day, he brought her to the low by fucking another girl right in front of her, in the same bed in which they had slept together.

He was really, really lucky that it was his final year, and he could disappear right after, because Allie would have haunted and hounded his ass for the rest of his life. She liked to believe that she hated him, a lot, but I knew better than to believe her. She still loved him, after all, it's one of the most difficult things to forget your first love, even when it's the wrong one.
