Ex-Husband's Regret

as hell. Honestly, I salute all the single mothers out there. Being a single parent isn’t easy at all. collapse on the couch, feeling drained. It had been a busy morning. With having to do all the chores and everything. Gunner helped, but I had to take him to football practice today.

He didn’t want to go, and he was pretty clear on that. It’s not that I was forcing him into a sport he didn’t like; It’s just that he knew that Noah wouldn’t be present like he usually is.

I made him understand why. Ava woke up, so of course Noah would want to be around her. I’m sure it will be like that for a while. He’ll stop being clingy after being assured that Ava isn’t going anywhere.

Gunner finally understood, and he accepted to go only if I promised that we would make arrangements to visit her soon.

He was bummed out when he learned that Ava, Noah, and Iris wouldn’t be returning to their house next to

ours.

My mind drifts to Ava. I feel fucking horrible that the last time we talked, I walked out on her all because I felt a sting after she rejected me. Thinking about it now, I get where she was coming from. After what Rowan did to her, it would have been stupid to enter into a relationship with yet another man who was in love with Emma.

She was also right. I was still in love with Emma, even though she has broken my heart more times than I could count. You just don’t get over more than a decade of love. I was looking for someone to ease the pain. A rebound…and we all know that rebound relationships never end well.

Ava welcomed me. She became my friend. She embraced me because she fucking understood my pain. She understood how painful it is to love someone who could never love you back.

Instead of appreciating her, I became like most other people in her life. I pushed her away because I didn’t get my way. And now she doesn’t even remember me

That’s what fucking hurts. That I could lose her for good because she doesn’t remember me, and she may just decide that she doesn’t want to get to know me.

Sighing I get up and head to the kitchen. I was hungry, but honestly, I felt too lazy to cook anything. Maybe

I should order takeout. It would be easier, and I wouldn’t have dishes to clean.

I just finished ordering when my doorbell rang.

My blows pull together. I don’t really have a lot of friends because I prefer solitude, so I wonder who was

Fat the door.

Ipad to the door and wrench it open. My heart stops when I come face to face with the beautiful face of

Before I can react, she pushes me inside and starts kissing me. I hear the door close as she walks me

backwards, her lips and mine locked.

can’t think. I can only feel… and what I feel is her lips on mine and her soft palms on my skin. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where is your bedroom?” she asks with a voice full of desire. “I need you right now, Calvin. I need to feel you inside me.”

I was about to grab her hips and haul her up on my body when her next words stopped me.

“Is Gunner around? I hope not; I don’t want to see him, and I don’t want him interrupting us,” she whispers breathlessly.

I stop kissing her and push her away from me as I come back to my senses.

Fuck. I can’t believe that I fell for her tricks again and almost fucked her.

This is always the pattem. She’ll come to me when she needs to scratch an itch. When she wants to be fucked. She’ll use me. Use my body. Then she’ll walk out like it meant nothing. Like, I meant nothing.
