Forgetting You - Episode 50

 

**** THREE MONTHS LATER HAILEY'S POV. I'm getting married. Freaking married!!. Today is my wedding day! And I'm getting married to Jason freaking Michaels!! Oh my God,oh my God!!!.. "Hailey you're freaking out." Tess's says and that's when I realise I'm chewing on my beautifully well manicured nails. Oops . "Prewedding jitters I know but you've got to relax" my hair stylist chips in and I sigh. "It's just.. Is it that obvious?" I ask "Yes. And you should see my brother in the church. Before I left, he was shaking like a leaf" Tess laughs. "You're teasing your brother behind his back" I point out holding back a smile. She rolls her eyes "Oh please. I'm finally getting rid of him." "I'm actually getting married" I say more to myself. "Yes. You both deserve it. Jason has come a long way loving you" she tells me and I smile. I still can't believe Jason was the same J.M. The same guy who used to send me gifts every weekend. How didn't I realise this earlier? Jason Michaels. J.M? The same guy with the huge glasses whom I always sat beside in school. A smile spreads across my face. I can't believe I'm getting married to my crush from High school. I turn to Tess "What's up with you and Alex? Why so much hide and seek

. You think I haven't realised how you two stare at each other when no one is looking?" I wiggle my eyebrows and she blushes. "Ugh!" She stomps her foot and runs out. I laugh. "If you don't keep still,I'll make sure I tighten your ponytail so hard" the hair stylist threatens me. "Oops sorry." I zone out again as she continues to fix my hair. My phone dings and I pick it up to check. It was a message from Jack. Again. Asking to meet up with me. The jerk. Does he think I'll agree to see him especially on my wedding day? How did he even get my number? He won't stop pestering me after he and Madeleine got out of jail. As for Madeleine, I heard she left the country. I delete the message and switch off my phone. Maybe one day,I'll let him see Olivia and I may forgive him. Maybe. But not today. "Finally I'm done!" "Wow! Look at you!" I snap out of my daze and turn. My soon to be mother in law is standing beside me grinning. I turn to stare at my reflection and I gasp. "Wow! I look.." I trail off staring my reflection "Stunning." Mrs Michaels finishes. I couldn't agree less. I'm wearing a long sleeved white dress which is made out of pure lace at the bodice and ends on my midriff where the gown spreads into a wide flare covering my entire feet. Around my waist are tiny white shiny beads embroided into the gown making it dangle graciously. Unconsciously, I wrap my arms around my belly and caress it. Feeling the bump that was yet to show. "When were you going to tell us?" Mrs Michaels asks interrupting my thoughts and I immediately drop my hands. "Ugh what?" I feign ignorance and she chuckles. "I can see right through you. You're pregnant aren't you?" She questions and my eyes bulge,my arms going around my belly once again. Realising my actions, I drop my hands again. "No need to hide it. I'm a mother and I know that you are. How far are you?" "Ugh three. I'm three weeks gone" I answer fighting the urge to bite my lip so I don't ruin my make up. "Hmm. And I'm assuming Jason doesn't know right?" "I was planning on telling him after the wedding" I say and she nods stepping closer. She adjusts the tiara on my head and covers my face with the veil. She picks up the bouquet and hands it to me. "Congratulations" she gesture to my belly before taking my hand and leading me out. "Come. Were running late" **** I couldn't stop fidgeting in my seat as the car pulled up in front of the church and I see people rushing inside to take a seat. "Hailey? You okay?" Mrs Michaels asks "It's just.. Nothing. Nothing" "Tell me" she urges and I sigh "It's just... I..I don't have anyone to walk me down the aisle and give me away. No parents, no uncles, no grandparents or brothers" I mutter sadly Suddenly my side of the door opens and Jason's father peeps inside the car. "Who says you don't? I'm here. I'll walk you down the aisle" he tells me. Wait what? "But.. But you're the grooms father" "So? You're going to be my daughter in law. In other words,my daughter so why can't I? You know,two years ago when I was arguing with Lilian and she had received a call that Jason had been shot,I almost died. But when I saw him alive,I realised I loved him more than my stupid ego or company. I can as selfish and so I decided to let him be,to do whatever makes him happy. And you,Hailey make my son happy. So come on,let's go before Jason faints. He won't stop shaking" Mr Michaels says giving me his hands and I laugh in order to stop my tears as I link my hands with his and alight. We stop in front of the church where I see Olivia frowning at a little boy who is supposed to be her partner. "Hey baby" I whisper and she turns. The frown on her face disappears instantly when she sees me. I blow her a kiss and she giggles before turning to face the church walking inside, throwing flower petals on her way as the music begins. Just then I look up,and there he stood,wearing a white tux,his hair tied back up. He was the most hottest man alive. Sensing my presence,he turns and then smiles at me. I smile back though I knew he couldn't see my face behind the veil. "So,you ready to get your man?" Mr Michaels whispers in my ear and I giggle. "I've never been ready" I answer with a smile I know won't cease anytime soon. ***** 11:50PM. SOMEWHERE IN LOS ANGELES. I trail my fingers over my husband's hard chest and abs while we lay naked entangled between the sheets. I reach out to kiss ever part of his beautifully well sculptured chest and I feel his muscles clench. "Baby" he groans running his fingers through my hair. "Husband" I mutter and I see his lips twitch into a sly smile. The cocky bustard. I knew he wasn't asleep. "Husband eh?" He mocks and I roll my eyes. "Shut up" I pull away to sit up on the large bed. "Jason? I want to tell you something" "Now? Baby can't it wait. We're on our honeymoon. You know we agree to go five rounds tonight and I just completed one" he sits up pulling me to sit on his Laps. "Be serious" I hit him playfully. "Okay I'm all ears" "Umm. Actually.." I trail off reaching for his hand then place it on my belly. He stares at my belly for a moment then back at me and my belly again. "Are you.. Are you pregnant?" He asks so quietly I almost didn't hear. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. I found out a few days ago. But yes I'm pregnant. Three weeks gone" I nod and then there was silence. My husband stares at me hard for a long time then suddenly I'm pulled off his laps as he jumps off the bed. "Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God" he chants pacing the room. "Jason? Aren't you happy?" Fear creeps up my heart. "We should have postponed the wedding! I knew it! Why didn't you tell me earlier? We're having a baby! And to think you've been standing all day and you barely ate properly. You even walked around the whole day in heels. This is not good. It's not good. Come on. Put on a dress,we're going for a check up to see if everything's okay with the baby. Shit! My clothes! Love, my car keys..." I smile as Jason continues to freak out. He's rambling too much nonsense. Chuckling,I crawl to the other side of the bed where he's standing and I grab his head and pull it down towards me and press my lips to his. It takes a while before he wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me back. After a while I pull back,and caress his face, pushing his hair behind his ear. "No need to freak out locs. I'm fine. I went for a check up before the wedding and the baby's fine. But if it'll make you feel at ease,we'll go for another check up first thing tomorrow. Okay?" He nods rubbing his palms over my belly. I can tell he's still freaking out so I kiss him again. He hesitates. "Kiss me locs." I demand tugging his hair and he groans squeezing my backside. A moan escapes me as he joins me on the bed,hovering over me. He drops his head to my shoulder and bites slightly sending shivers down my spine. His hands trail down my body and when he reaches my thighs,he spreads them apart and in a single motion,he flicks my core and I arch my back moaning. "First thing tomorrow baby,I'm taking you for a check up. But for now,tonight,I'll make mad love to you. So hold on to me" he whispers and I do just that. I hold on to him,digging my nails into his back as he worships my body like no man has and no man ever will. **** FOUR YEARS LATER.(UNIVERSITY OF CAPECOAST). JASON'S POV "Olivia be quiet!" I snap at her and she pouts. "I want to see mom" she whines "You'll see her when her name is mentioned okay?" She sighs and collapses into her seat. Today is my wife's graduation. She's finally graduating after pursuing social science for four years. I look around amongst the graduates but I can't seem to find her. "Daddy!!" A tiny form comes running to me. "What happened now Malcolm?" I ask my four year old son. "Michael. He beat me again" he complains and I groan. These two never go a day without fighting. "Michael? I know you're hiding behind grandpa and if you don't come out now,I'll come over there and spank you!" I warn staring at my father who's grinning. He's hiding Michael. I knew it. "Michael!" I snap and he too runs towards me. "Why did you beat your twin bother?". He just pouts at me. "Do not give me that look little boy. Why did you beat your brother? You always fight him." "S..sorry daddy" "Say sorry to Malcolm. Now!" I order and he turns to his twin brother. "Sorry Mlycom" he apologizes. "It's not mlycom! It's Malcolm! For Gods sake!" Olivia corrects Michael and I laugh. She's grown so big. "Now go sit beside your sister. And don't make a noise" "Son?" My dad who's seated on my right calls and I make sure the kids are seated before turning to him. "Yes dad?" "How's your business going? I thought you had an exhibition" "Yes. The gallery is going well. And yes,I have an exhibition for my new paintings but it'll be tonight." I answer and he frowns. "You know.." He starts and I groan knowing what he's going to say. "I hope you make so much money that your sons grow up to spend all" "Dad! Dont tell me you're still on that issue. It's been years" I laugh. He's never stopped talking about the money I withdrew from his account to buy the new maserati and others. "I almost had a heart attack. But I kept quiet because I did the same to my dad" "Ah. It's a fair deal" I chuckle "But....." "Shhh the both you. The program is about to begin" my mother shushes us and I sigh as an old man walks to the podium and begins his boring speech of welcoming address blah blah blah. I roll my eyes and begin to type on my phone. Feeling bored,I lean back and close my eyes. "...and ladies and gentlemen, to out overall best student, with a standing ovation let's welcome Hailey Attah Michaels!!!" F*ck! My eyes shoot open. There on the podium stood my wife smiling as she took her certificate and an award. She moves to the microphone stand and begins her speech. I see her eyes move about and when they meet mine,she smiles. I smile back and give her the thumbs up. Damn,I'm f*cking proud of her. "If someone had told me I would have one day been a graduate, I'll probably have shot them twice,chopped their body into pieces, fry it and prepare jollof rice with it" Hailey begins and the crowd erupts in laughter. I laugh shaking my head. Her eyes are trained solely on me as she continues her speech. I for one,wasn't listening to what she was saying either, I just couldn't get my eyes off her,wondering how I'm so damn lucky to have my childhood crush as my wife and mother of my children. Soon,the crowd erupts in cheers, clapping as my wife stepped down the podium to sit. But no. She was running towards me, tears brimming in her pretty eyes. I get on my feet and grin spreading my arms for her. She runs straight into them wrapping her arms around me. "I made it Jason. I made it. I made it" she says continuously sobbing into my chest. I rub her back through the thick robe she wore. "Hush now love. You deserve it. I'm proud of you" "You made it all possible Jay. Thank you so much" I kiss her forehead. "Mom" we pull away to find Olivia between us. "Hey honey" Hailey smiles wiping her tears. "Congratulations mom. I'm proud of you. Look, I made you a gift" she grins showing Hailey a piece of sheet. It was a drawing of us with Olivia in the middle and the twins in front. "I love you mom" "It's beautiful Livy. I Iove you baby" they both hug only to be separated. "Me too mummy!" Malcolm and Michael both scream fighting for attention. "Easy there Boys" Hailey chuckles as she kneels and gives them each a kiss. "Happy?" She asks. "Very Happy!" They both reply and run off. Both my parents weren't left out in congratulating my wife. "Out of the way" someone pushes Me violently and I turn to glare at my sister. "You know,I would have shoved you back if you weren't pregnant" I stare at her belly which looked like she was carrying triplets. She sticks her tongue at me. I shake my head. She and Alex make such a dysfunctional yet perfect couple. After denying their feelings for each other for so long, they finally got married a year ago. "Okay enough. Let go off my wife" I nudge Tess aside and wrap my arms around her. Tess snorts and walks away probably to find her husband. As we stood,savoring each others presence, thunder suddenly rumbled and lightening struck. Okay I totally didn't see that coming. It was shinning just now. "Olivia!" I call out and she appears in front of me. "Take this..." I collect the certificate and award from Hailey and give them to Olivia. "And go sit in the car. Take your brothers along. It's about to rain" "This award is so cool mom!" She gushes. "Is that so? You can keep it in your room then" my wife says and Olivia's jaw drops. "For real? Oh that's why you're the best!" She squeals and runs off to find the twins. I roll my eyes. Sometimes she tells me I'm the best and other times, Hailey is the best. Thunder rumbled again and Hailey shudders. "Come on love. Everyone has gotten into the car" I tug at her hand and begin to walk faster,feeling droplets of rain hit me but Hailey doesn't budge. I stop and turn. "What's wrong love?" "I want to dance with you" "In the rain?" I raise an eyebrow "Yes" "Without music?" "We could dance to the tune of our hearts" she pouts and I laugh. "Is that a pick up line you using? Try'na toast me?" She rolls her and pulls me close.hmm feisty. I like it. "Dance with me husband" "My pleasure wife" I bend and capture her lips in a frenzy kiss,feeling the fat droplets of rain hit me. Hailey's fingers find my hair and she tugs at it. Groaning, I slide my tongue over her lips and urge them open. She does so,and I waste no time in exploring her,savoring her taste. Unexpectedly, I pull away and spin her around twice before pulling her back to me. Hailey gasps and wraps her arms around my neck. "Scared you'll fall?" I tease She smiles shaking her head,rain drops dripping down the sides of her face. "Never. You know why? Because I know you'll always be there to catch me" As a reply,I capture her lips again kissing her for all it's worth. Hailey smiles against my lips and kisses me back. And in those kisses, were a thousand unspoken words understood just by us. Words that didn't need to be said out loud,instead to be felt within the core of our soul. And right here,right now was the perfect time to say this is just the beginning of our untold story. Just the beginning.....
