Promises

Chapter Fifteen

Travis's P.O.V. :

            Whitney has just finished seeing the doctor and I was accompanying her to the pharmacy when an unmistakable scent bombarded me.

            That sweet lavender smell... Megan's around here...

            My eyes quickly scanned the area to search for her and that's when I found her.

            She was still as beautiful as ever with her black long hair and those mesmerizing emerald eyes... But her stomach...

            She's pregnant...

            I blinked a few times not really sure to believe what I'm seeing right now...

            Whitney was talking to me but I blocked her out for a bit before finally realising that she was conversing with me.

            “Alpha, what's wrong?” she asked in a concerned voice and I quickly regained back my composure.

            “Nothing. I just remembered I had something to do... Do you mind if I pass you some money and you take the cab home by yourself?” I pressed as I looked at her and Whitney gave me a reluctant nod.

            I passed her some cash and watched her hailed a cab and got into it. The moment Whitney was out of sight, I quickly rushed back to the pharmacy area where I last saw her...

            I approached her back as now she's talking to the pharmacist behind the counter but when I was right behind her, she turned around and collided into me and whatever she was holding fell to the ground.

            “Oh god I’m so sorry! I didn’t know you were right behind me! I should have been more careful!” she squealed as she slowly bent down to pick up her stuffs.

            I immediately bent down first as I noticed she was having difficulty and discomfort having to position herself to a kneeling stance.

            “No it’s fine... It was my fault... I’ll do it...” I told her, not meeting her eyes yet as I collected her items.

            It was pictures and screenshots of her ultrasounds... She wasn’t carrying a child.. She’s carrying quadruplets...

            I held back tears of sadness as I wondered who is the lucky guy who won her heart and managed to have her to bear his children...

            I placed the photos back in the envelope and stood up straight, handing it out to her. She thanked me and finally looked up at me...

            She just smiled and took the envelope from me and turned, walking away.

            I was dumbstruck... Can’t she recognise me???

            I ran after her, grabbing her arm and turning her around to face me. Again I felt the sparks ran up and down my arm...

            “God!” she screamed, not too loudly as she was whirled around to face me. “Oh it’s you again! What do you want?”

            My mind was in a turmoil as I tried to register her reaction towards me.

            “You can’t remember me???” I blurted out and she frowned as she narrowed her eyes at me.

            “Mister, I don’t know you and I obviously can’t remember you if I don’t know you! Now would you please let go of my arm! I’m already a married woman and I live in this neighbourhood! If anyone I know sees me like this, gossips will spread!” she demanded, her face really honest about not knowing me...
