Soul Mates

Family

Anna (POV)

Aidan didn't come home that night or the night before.  I tried even calling him but he must've screen my calls or something.  I even tried texting him and got no reply.  I miss him, I really do.

Is this it for us?  Is he even going to come home.

What about Christmas and other holidays.  We had our whole future ahead of us.

Linda had assured me that he probably needs time to process things.

Maybe I should have waited before telling him everything.  After all the timing has got to be right. 

At that moment I was cursing Josh, cursing Megan, hell I was just cursing everyone.

I wanted someone to talk to.   Sure I had Linda but she's like a mother to me and I don't need some advice.  Which I am grateful she is here with me.  But I need another respective point of view.

"What are you doing here?"  I found myself sitting on the seat of my cousin's house Shiela.  I know it sounds like she hates me but I know the truth.  "Why are you even here?"

"Because you are my cousin."

"Ugh, don't remind me."  Shiela pretended she didn't care but she did honestly.

I sat there just gazing at the room.  "Well are you going to talk or just sit there like an idiot."  She asked irritably.

"It's Aidan."

"Of course it is, what else is new."

I proceeded to tell her what had happened well not in so many words because when I did that, she ended up beating the hell out of Josh along with me which I'm glad we did.  But I didn't want to her to beat Aidan.  I couldn't stand it if he got hurt because of me.

"Why that bastard."  Shiela jumped from her chair.  "How dare he after he made that promise to me."

"Promise, what promise."

"To never hurt you."

I smiled.  She actually had Aidan promise to her.  In all what's happening Shiela had made me smile for today.

"What's so funny?"

Standing up, I hugged her.  It felt good to hug her.  Hug family.  I actually had a family.  I'm no longer an orphan.  Soon I felt her hands come around me as my tears had spilled.  "Anna, if Aidan leaves you then he doesn't deserve you."

She pulled away from me while wiping my tears.  "You are my cousin, we are family and we will let no man destroy us."

Is this the same girl that wanted Aidan before.  The same girl that seemed spoiled by her father. 

"What's with that look?"

"I just, I never thought we'd be actually talking as cousin.  I always wanted a family."

"Well if I had to choose who to be my cousin, I choose a girl who can actually dress."  She looked at me with a snarky attitude.  What was wrong with the way I dress.

Shiela sighed, "If he kicks you out, my home is always opened to you."  I should be crying my eyes out but I'm not.

I squealed in excitement, "Do not make me regret my actions."

The weekend was slow and he wasn't at his office.  Where was he staying?  The more I think about him, the more it worried me.  He not once called me back or even texted me.  Not even a voice mail.  Things ran through my mind.  Maybe he did get sick of me.  Things like if he had some other blond, brunette, red head between his legs.

Fuck Anna stop thinking that.  He loves he, he would never do that.  I reminded myself.  Though it didn't help at all.  I know for a fact that he makes head turns just by entering a room.  I have seen how the girls gawk at him though he seemed oblivious by their actions.

I mean when I had first met him, a very muscular girl was hitting on him.  I smiled at the memory.  I wish I could re-wind time just to go back. 

Again I had scolded myself.  If he wants someone else rather than a broken me, then he should tell me and I wont bother him.  I rather he tell me then cheat on me.  But he wouldn't would he?

He is a mature man and he wont do something irrational will he.

Come Monday I had gone to my classes with a frown on my face.  My books in my arms.  I didn't want to interract with anyone.  I couldn't be bother.

This whole weekend got me thinking all sorts of crazy things.

It's okay, after school I'll just catch him at work.  He will have no choice but to talk to me.  I need to know what he intends to do.  If he doesn't want to be a part of this child's life, then I wont make him.  It's not his responisbilty after all.

Finally school ended as Marcel was now driving me to the office.  I was impatient and couldn't wait to see him.  But before that I thought I'd pick up some lunch for him and coffee.

Entering the elevator something in me felt like a nervous wrecked.

"Tony."  I greeted before she could say anything I rushed towards his office which was closed.  I was in need to see him.

As I opened it, my books had dropped.  There he was in his office chair with a blond on his lap as they were playing tongue war.  My eyes now burning at the sight.  How could he?  I was giving him the benefit of the doubt by my eyes are not playing tricks on me are they. 

His eyes had widen as it looked like he seen a ghost, "Anna."  He gasps in shock.  "I can explain."

Isn't that the normal excuse that all men uses when they have no explanations.

"Is this why you didn't come home so you can go back to your old ways. If you didn't want me anymore just tell me instead of being a dick you stupid old man." As quickly as I could I poured the now cold coffee over his head and slap the blond with the stew I bought all over her face making her squeal like a pig. I didn't however have time to enjoy their shock expressions as I Instantly slammed the door giving my finger probably for the fist and last time as I rushed towards the elevator ignoring his pleas to come back.
