Chapter 290
LILY’S POV
It was around one A.M and I’ve been tossing and turning in my bed for hours. I couldn’t sleep, Asher had called earlier and it took everything in me to not blurt about the possible pregnancy.
He sounded so happy and carefree nowadays, I didn’t want to dampen his mood. I knew he missed me same. I can’t imagine my life without him now that he’s in it.
by the sound of his voice and I missed him the
Daisy was beside me snoring softly and at that moment, I was jealous of her for sleeping so peacefully. She turned around to face me, still sleeping, and pulled the covers over her head. Doesn’t that suffocate her?
She’s been sleeping in my room when dad and mom decided it would have been best to stay here until dad got his inheritance from my deceased grandpa. Apparently he didn’t go to claim it earlier in case Daisy’s mom and her dad took it from him.
I was uneasy, I kept on thinking about being pregnant and that made me restless. I looked at the clock on my nightstand, it was now one fifteen. I tossed the covers away from my body and hopped out of the comfy bed. It’s not comfortable enough if you can’t sleep.
My feet padded against the cold floors and I cursed myself for not wearing socks. I opened the bedroom door softly: walked to the kitchen.
so I didn’t wake anyone up, and
I was filling up a glass of milk when I heard the sound of a door closing softly. I stopped what I was doing and tensed up to see who was approaching.
Mom’s figure came into view and reached out her hand to put on the lights. She jumped when she saw me standing there with a glass of milk in my hands and looking like a deer caught in headlights. I must look like an idiot right now.
“Oh my God, Lily, you almost gave me a heart attack.” She gasped out and placed a palm on her beating chest. I studied her attire, or what was covering her naked body from my sight. A plain white cover was wrapped loosely around her frame and she reached out to tighten it before it fell.
Her black tresses were disheveled and the once perfect eyeliner was now a smudged mess. She blushed when she noticed me staring.
Mom and dad were definitely making a bun in the oven. Maybe our kids will grow up together. Oh my god, Lily, stop thinking about it!
“What’s wrong Lily, couldn’t you sleep? Are you still vomiting?” She asked, worried, and walked towards me. I avoided her gaze when she mentioned vomiting. What if she hates me, if I’m pregnant? I’ve surely disappointed her.
I sighed and looked at her. “Can I ask you something mom?”
She nodded. “Sure, Lily.”
I bit my bottom lip. “Why does Asher’s mom and dad hate us?” She sighed and went to sit on one of the stools. From that action, I knew it would be a long story, so I sat down on one as well. The cover almost fell off her body and I giggled a little.
“Margaret and I were best friends in high school.” She spoke up and looked at the window in front of her deep in thought.
“Whilst she was the popular cheerleader, I was the nerd of the school. I always wondered why she would be friends with me, when no one wanted to associate with a nerd.” She muttered and brushed her hair off her face. “But then came your dad, the rich, bad boy of the school, who slept around with girls and dumped them like used tissues. Margaret was in love with him and she made me help her to try to get his attention.” She smiled sadly.
“Ivan and I were assigned to do the baby project where we had to take care of a baby doll for a month. So that left the perfect opportunity to match them up. Mind you, Ivan was a very difficult boy, he was mean and arrogant.” She laughed. “That’s when he finally noticed me. I had always had a crush on him but didn’t act on it because Margaret liked him, And who would like a nerd back anyway? But then one thing led to the other and we fell in love with each other.” She smiled as if remembering a fond memory.
“I tried on multiple occasions to try and coax him into liking Margaret, but it never worked. It was like the more time I spent with him, the more we fell deeply for each other.” She sighed and looked down. “At some point, I couldn’t stop my feelings any longer, especially since he tried making me jealous by taking Margaret on a date. Margaret being Margaret, invited me to have a double date with them, making me bring Studer, the infamous geek at school. He was great company but not my type, since I already had eyes for one guy.” She smiled sadly.

“Let’s just say things didn’t end well when Ivan got jealous during the date and caused a scene. He confessed to Margaret his true intentions. She was furious and said that it was my plan all along to take her boyfriend, even though they weren’t together.” Mom sighed and took my glass of milk and a gulped it down.
I glared at her and my glass of milk but she just shrugged before continuing. “Our friendship was ruined and it didn’t help when I followed my heart and started dating your dad. She became very hostile towards me. I guess she always held a grudge against me, which I understand.” She sighed and looked at the sink in fascination.
“It isn’t right mom. It’s been years, can’t she get over that?” I asked.
“Margaret always had some mental issues that she ignored, so I wasn’t surprised when she never let it go. As for her husband, I don’t know why he hates us as well. But with Margaret’s manipulation abilities, it was only inevitable.” Mom told me.
The sound of a door closing had us looking at the culprit. It was dad who only had boxers on as he strolled towards us. He hadn’t noticed me yet as he gave mom a kiss.
“Baby, where are the strawberries and cream you were supposed to bring thirty minutes ago?” He teased mom and bit her earlobe. Mom cleared her throat and pointed at me. He finally acknowledged me and gave an embarrassed chuckle. “Oh, peanut, didn’t see you there.” He laughed.
I raised a brow. “I can see that.” I looked between both of them.
“What were my two girls talking about?” He raised his eyebrow and looked at us in confusion.
“Oh, I was telling Lily why Margaret hates us.” Mom laughed.
“Does that witch still hold a grudge? I thought she grew up by now and got over it, I mean it wasn’t your fault you fell for this sexy piece of meat.” He asked, astonished, and gestured to his body. Mom slapped him lightly on his abs, making him give her a warm smile.
“Ew, can you guys not do that in front of me?” I whined. On the inside, I was gushing at their affection for each other. They really were in love.
