Forever You by Lynn, Sandi (e novels to read txt) 📕

“Yes, I do, since we’re being honest and not keeping secrets.”

I swallowed hard because I was about to relive what I had already told her back in Michigan. Then

all of a sudden, before I could get the words out of my mouth, Ellery spoke.

“Since you can’t say anything, let me say it for you. You were never going to fall in love, and that

meant never having kids. So, why torture yourself with only experiencing half the pleasure every time

you fucked a woman when you could experience the whole natural pleasure and not have a worry in

the world, except being ignorant about STD’s.”

My face fell, and anger grew inside of me. “I’m not even going to respond to something as fucked

up as that!” I yelled. “You’re pissed that I can’t have kids? Aren’t you the one who said she doesn’t

believe in happily ever after and fairytale romances?!” I yelled at her across the room. She walked

over to where her pants were and started to put them on.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” I yelled.

“I’m not staying here tonight; you’re a dick, and I don’t want to be near you right now.”

“I’m a dick?” I laughed. I can’t believe she thought I was being a dick when she started this

argument.

“You’re the one being a bitch and overreacting about me not being able to have kids.”

“I’m a bitch because you didn’t tell me about this sooner?!” she yelled back.

Anger and darkness consumed me. “You really want to go there, Ellery, about not telling each other

things?”

“I regretted that from day one, and you know it!” she yelled. “How dare you throw that in my

face?!”

“Then, I guess we’re even!” I yelled. I was so angry at her for what she said. I needed some space

to cool off. “Maybe it’s best you stay in the guest room tonight, till we both cool off.”

“I’m not staying in the guest room; I’m going home to my apartment that you so graciously call a

box,” she said as she pointed her finger at me.

“Really, Ellery, you’re going to run?” I said as I waved my hand. “Why not; it’s what you do best

anyway.”

She stormed out of the bedroom, and I just stood there. I didn’t go after her. She needed some time

to cool off, and so did I. How could such a perfect day turn into such a nightmare? I let her go back to

her apartment to sleep it off. I’ll head over there in the morning to get her and make things right.

The next morning, I showered, got dressed, and headed over to Ellery’s apartment. I didn’t sleep

all night because she wasn’t next to me, and I missed her. I knocked on her door, but there was no

answer. I continued to knock, and still no answer. Either she wasn’t home or she was ignoring me. I

went back to the penthouse, thinking maybe she would show up there to apologize. As I stepped out of

the elevator, I noticed her keys sitting on the table in the hall. She left her keys here which meant she

didn’t go back to her apartment. Worry began to settle inside me. I grabbed my phone, sent her a text

and ran up the stairs to my bedroom. Now I was really pissed that she knew she didn’t have her keys,

and yet she didn’t come back here.

“Where the hell are you?! I went to your apartment, and you weren’t there.”

“It’s none of your business where I am; remember I’m just doing what I do best,” she responded

quickly.

“You are behaving like a child, and I don’t like it; now get your ass back to my penthouse.”

“I think we need time apart to think about what each of us said last night.”

I read her text, and it hurt me to know that she wanted time away from me. She was acting like a

selfish brat. Maybe she’s right. She needs to know that how she behaved last night was unacceptable.

So I sent her the following reply:

“I agree, and when you stop behaving like a selfish child, call me so we can talk like adults.”

She didn’t respond after that. I closed my eyes to try and stop the tears from falling. I slammed my

fists down on the dresser and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

“Good morning, Connor. Will you and Ellery be having breakfast together this morning?” Claire

asked.

“Ellery isn’t here, so the answer is no,” I snapped.

“Whoa, Connor, calm down,” Denny said as he walked towards me.

I ran my hand through my hair. “Claire, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me,” I begged.

“It’s ok, Connor. Don’t worry about it,” she smiled.

“What the hell happened between the two of you now?” Denny asked as he handed me a cup of

coffee.

“I told her last night that I can’t have kids, and she didn’t take it very well. We both said some

pretty bad things to each other. Fuck, Denny, I love her so damn much. Why is this so hard?”

“Nobody said love is easy,” he smiled.

I shook my head and walked out of the kitchen. I hated not knowing where she was. She said she

thought it was best to spend some time apart. If that’s what she wants, then I’ll respect her wishes.

When she’s
