Yours, Never Again

The next morning, Victor went to his house to freshen up, he shaved his stubble that he had ignored for months.

Then, he headed over to Eloise’s place to take her to the hospital. He got there to meet his mom and Eloise’s parents.

“Good morning, l wasn’t expecting you guys,” He said as soon as he entered the house.

“Eloise called us to accompany her to the hospital.” His mom replied to him. She was sitting beside Rose on the two-sitter couch while Mr. Keys sat opposite them.

“She said you suddenly left this morning and you didn’t say a word after convincing her to go to the hospital,” Rose added.

“Son, don’t mind these women. Women overthink most times, I. am sure she was sleeping when you left.” Mr. Keys said, tapping this walking stick on the table. Rose and Kate made silly faces at him for his comment.

“Yes, she was. I should go check up on her then,” Victor added awkwardly

“You do that,” Mr. Keys responded to him, then he went to meet Eloise in her room.

She wasn’t in the bedroom, he headed straight to the bathroom where he met her sitting in the bathtub.

“Hey, you’re good?” He asked her.

“Yeah, but I need some help standing up.” She replied to him. She could not get up on her own.

Without thinking twice, Victor lifted her out of the bathtub in a bridal style. He took her close to where she hung her towel.

She grabbed her towel and placed it on her stomach. Victor was trying to avoid staring at her breasts.

“You should cover your whole body with the towel.” He spoke up as he dropped her on her bed.

His clothes were drenched because he carried her from the bathtub.

“Are you insinuating that my body is ugly?” She scowled, not loud enough for her parents and Kate to hear. She covered her body with the towel.

“You know that’s not what I’m saying. Your boobs, I can’t take my eyes off them and I don’t want you to feel like I’m staring.” She removed the towel and dropped it on her bed. Victor’s eyes widen at that.

“That’s okay silly. You should change your clothes, I can see your abs. You have some of your clothes in my closet.” She went to her closet to pick out some clothes.

He removed his clothes, and he followed her to the closet.

His clothes that he didn’t notice that had disappeared from his closet filled a section in her huge closet. He shook his head and he started to pick something suitable to wear.

Eloise was on the other side of her closet, when she noticed his presence in the closet, she went close to him she hugged him from the back.

He tensed, she placed wet and sloppy kisses on the back of his neck. He turned to face her.

“We shouldn’t do this. You shouldn’t do this with a man that you don’t trust nor love.” He said to her, then he grabbed the clothes he had picked and he left her in the closet.

He wore his clothes in her room and he went to the living room to wait for her.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

When Rose and Kate, his mom saw him coming out of Eloise’s room in a different set of clothes, they coughed and adjusted in their seat.

“I helped her out of the bathtub, you guys are overthinkers like he said.” He commented on what they did. No one said anything.

A few minutes later, Eloise came out of her room with her eyes red and swollen.

“What’s wrong darling?” Kate rushed to her as soon as she noticed her red eyes.

“Yes, they are red and swollen,” Rose added.

“Soap got into my eyes while I was in the bathtub.” She pressed her lips together.

“We are running late.” Mr. Keys said. “I am sure Victor has some work to do later.”

“I took the day off sir,” Victor said.

“Let’s get going,” Eloise said leaving all of them behind and they all rushed after her. She got into Victor’s Aston Martin and her parents got into Kate’s SUV, the driver drove the car and Victor followed their lead.

At the hospital

“Please lie on your back,” The doctor said to me, and I lay on the table as he instructed with my dad’s help. The Old man looked worried. I had changed into the hospital gown with the help of Rose and Kate.

Victor had to go take some business calls outside.

The doctor applied some gel to Eloise’s stomach, then he moved a handheld probe over it. While the doctor was doing this, Victor came in. Blur images appeared on the screen.

The doctor asked Eloise to hold her breath for some seconds so he could get a clearer picture of the images. Victor went to her side to hold her hand. Kate and her parents looked at the screen, keenly.

The images became clearer and two babies showed on the screen. After we listened to the heartbeats of the babies. The doctor wiped the gel off Eloise’s stomach.

After the ultrasound, Victor followed her into the changing room. He helped her out of the hospital gown.

“Did you cry after I left the closet?” He asked her as he brought out her clothes from the bag that she had kept it.

She ignored him.

“You have no reason to cry, Eloise. I should be the one crying here if someone is crying. Let me just say it’s the hormones.”

“Why are you helping me since I do not love you nor trust me? I could kill you here if you are not careful.” Eloise murmured loud enough for him to hear.

“Eloise, you know that’s not what I meant. ”

“What do you mean V, What exactly do you mean?” He helped her into her maternity gown.

“Follow my mom’s car home. I am going to work. I will come to see you tonight at your place.”

“There is no need for you to come over. I am going to Emmanuel and Tory’s place.”

“Have you eaten? Let me get you whatever you want.”

“Don’t think I have forgotten what you said since you are buying some food. Let’s go.”

They left the Changing room and bade their parents goodbye and they went to the restaurant where Eloise wanted to eat.

“Would you sleep with me tonight? Make love to me one last time” Eloise asked Victor.
