A new beginning

...

.

It was thundering heavily, while Ana drove her car, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, attempting to reach her destination, before nightfall. But because it was still raining buckets, she had to drive under the speed limit.

A sigh escaped her lips, while concentrating on the road, thinking about the last couple of months. She could not forget about the past, but she sure as hell was going to learn from it.

When she told her then-boyfriend the news, he freaked out on her and had kicked her out their apartment.

Asshole...

She was literally out on the street with her belongings, and fortunately was able to crash at her friend, Kate, for a few months. However, when her friend's boyfriend moved in with them, it was clear that she HAD to leave.

And she did...

After pursuing a bunch of apartments via the internet, she unexpectedly stumbled upon a sweet, cute and most importantly affordable two-bedroom house.

That was it! In her opinion, that was the perfect neighborhood to raise children and watch them grow up...

The next day, Ana packed all her belongings, hugged Kate goodbye and decided to drive from Portland to Seattle to have a fresh start in life. ( Fortunately, her job didn't require her to stay permanently in one specific place)

She told her friends and family about moving away, during her little road trip, whenever she made the much needed pitstops.

Her father had been amazing though, as usual. He didn't judge or asked too personal questions. He even offered his assistance, when the baby would arrive, telling Ana that he would temporarily move to help her. However, she had convinced him that she was going to be okay on her own.

"I'll manage, dad" she had told him, sounding very convincing." I can handle it. I'm tough as nails... just like YOU"

"How will you be juggling work and taking care of a little human all by yourself, sweetheart?" he had asked, but of course Ana was able to convince him.

Such a wonderful stepfather...

She smiled, feeling blessed, even though she knew life was going to become very hectic soon...

While her eyes darted towards her stomach, Ana felt a tug at her heart, happy that she had a smooth pregnancy up until now. As she lovingly caressed her belly for a moment, Ana swore to give her baby all the love that she had within her, and all the attention that he will need from her. ( all the things her own mother never had given Ana)

"With you by my side, I can do anything, sweet boy" were the words that tumbled from her pink lips, her heart swelling gloriously.

As Christian drove his expensive, brand new car, he smiled from ear to ear, happy to possess such a beautiful toy/vehicle.

It was still early for him, just a little past seven, when he encountered the rainy weather.

"Fuck" he muttered under his breath, as he saw the lightning from a distance, hearing thunder rumbling aloud." Guess I have to cancel my plans with Leila"

Christian hated bad weather... he really did. He hated it and was afraid, since he was just a small boy.

He remembered like it was yesterday, how he used to knock on his parents' bedroom door, but they refused to let him in.

"You are six years old, Christian" his father would say with a disapproving look on his face." Big boys aren't scared of a little thunder... go back to your own bedroom!"

It was not so much that he was terrified of thunder, but the fact that his parents barely gave him any attention or love.

That's probably the reason, why he turned out this way as an adult.

He was bitter, selfish, and only cared about material things. Well, that was what his mother taught him... work hard in school ,so you can have a good job later in life, so you can buy ANYTHING you want.

"What about love, momma?"

"Love? What about it? People will always disappoint you, Christian" she used to say to him." But money and material things? They will NEVER disappoint... on the contrary, having nice stuff will make you very happy, trust me"

And that's exactly what he did; he followed his mother's advice...

Christian worked very hard in school, and with his knowledge, and influence from his parents of course, he had built an entire empire by the time he turned 30, making him filthy rich.

So much so, he sometimes didn't know what to do with all his hard-earned money...

He was so deep in thought that he jumped up a little, startled by the loud sound, when his phone rang, taking him abruptly out of his thoughts.

As he threw a quick glance at it, he saw that it was Leila.

"Grey speaking"

"Honey, aren't you coming over tonight?" he heard her say with that sultry, seductive voice of hers.

When she spoke like that, he knew that she was fucking horny.

"I think we have to reschedule"

"What?! What do you mean, reschedule?! I didn't dress up in this pink baby doll for you to tell me that you want to reschedule, Christian!"

As those words reached his ears, he shook his head, and barked at her." We aren't an item, Leila. You and I aren't a couple... you are just some fine ass that I use, when I wanna fuck!"

"Fuck you, Christian! You are the devil in des..." was what he heard her say, but all of a sudden, he noticed a bright light coming at him, and heard another driver honk their horn continuously!

"Shit!" he shouted, and swiftly made a sharp turn, preventing a collision between his brand new, expensive car and the other vehicle.

Christian's heart thumped wildly against his chest, as his car came to a stop, and then he noticed how both of his hands were shaking." Fuck" he muttered, and let out a deep breath.

'I almost fucking died!' were the words that bounced inside his skull, and as the adrenaline still pumped through his whole body, Christian stepped out to give the other person a piece of his mind!

Fortunately, the rain had almost stopped completely. (Not that a little cloudburst would've kept him from confronting the other driver... Oh, no! It wouldn't have mattered to him)

With huge strides, he walked towards the other vehicle, his cell phone in hand and then he pressed the LIVE button.

"I almost died, you all... and let us hear what kind of 'bull shit' explanation this lousy driver has, for almost killing me!"

And just as he reached the spot, while pointing the camera phone at the other vehicle, a woman with dark, chestnut-colored, wavy hair, stepped out with much difficulty.

"Why in the HELL are you pointing that device at me, Sir?" the woman snapped, her beautiful blue eyes glaring up at him." You gonna help me with my tire?! I almost crashed into your car, because I had a blowout, you know!"

As those accusing words reached his ears, looking at the pretty brunette, Christian had a dumbfounded expression on his handsome face.

For the first time in his adult life, he was utterly speechless.

"Well?" the brunette said, her brows furrowed, while placing both hands on her hips." Are you gonna stand there all night, or are you gonna help a seven-month pregnant woman out?!"
