2461 Words
SUMMERS POV I should have waited a few days before telling Sean, but I just wanted it over with quickly. Expect now he is following me like a little stalker. I hope he has gone by the time I leave the restroom. But something tells me he is still out there. I didn't realising seeing him would be this hard. It's hard when your still in love with the person who hurt you so badly. I hated the antenatal classes, all the other women had there partners while I sat there alone. And whenever I see happy couples pregnant at the appointments it always brought tears to my eyes. The second I laid eyes on Sean it just reminded me how angry and hurt I was. I wanted to run away again instantly and regretted this choice to tell him the second I got back. I take extra long to wash my hands and waddle back towards the food terrace. And of course he has to be sat waiting for me. I decided it was busy enough, I could get away with walking past him as quickly as possible and make out I didn't notice him sat there. If I'm lucky enough I can keep close to the bloke in front of me, and he might not see me. I was as fast as I can to keep pace with the bloke in front of me and make sure to keep myself looking anywhere but Sean's direction. I was out of luck though because as I got close to the table Sean was sat at, he stood up and said "ready to go shopping now?" "Oh I didn't realise you stayed, I thought you left" I said casually. "No you said you had to shop and if I know one thing its pregnant women shouldn't carry heavy stuff. So I thought I'd join you, so you don't have to carry anything heavy" he says. "It's okay. I plan to get a few clothes to carry with me, everything else I will get delivered, I will be fine" I say. "Well I also don't know everything a baby needs and since your baby shopping I can see what you get, so I will know what to get as well" he says. "Can't you just ask your mum for help?" I ask. "Can you just show me since your going now as friend and both of us parents, to our daughter can't you just help me out this one please Summer?" Sean begs. "Fine but will you leave me alone after that?" I ask "Yes" Sean says "Which floor is mothercare on?" I ask Sean gets his phone out and rings someone. "I'm in the mall right now which floor is mothercare" he asks whoever he is in the phone to. "Okay thank you" he then says before hanging up. "The second floor is where we need to go" Sean says offering his arm for me to take. "I can walk by myself" I say starting to walk again towards the lift. It didn't take long before we are walking into mother care. I head straight for the maternity clothes first and start picking out some. I don't need many since there is only a few weeks left. So I only got about 5 pairs of trousers, 7 pairs of bras, 14 pairs of pants, 8 tops. Then I went to find a sale assistant. "Please could these be put behind the checkout packed and ready to go, but I'd also would like someone to join me with a pen and paper as I'm about to buy a hell of a lot of stuff. Also, we are going to need a trolley." I say. "Sure I can do that" says the lady. "I could help you carry the stuff" Sean says. "Good luck trying to juggle a cot, mosesbasket, buggy, changing unit as well as everything else" I say. "Good point! I'm not an octopus with loads of arms after all" he says. "No your of a cheetar" I respond rolling my eyes. Sean goes to say something, but I see he soon doesn't say anything when I look at him awaiting his reply. The lady comes back with some pen and paper as well as a trolley. "Okay, I want this pink travel system, this white cot, this white changing unit, this pink mosesbasket with the stand. This grey next to crib, this white baby bath, this black Tommie tippee sterile" I say as the lady writes everything down. I then added 15 bottles, 4 cot sets, 10 mosesbasket sheet, 30 bibs, 20 Muslim sticky sheets, 4 packs of dummy, one of each set of girls clothes in each size up to the age of one, 5 of each unisex and girls blankets, 10 pairs of booties, 20 pairs of socks and mitten and hats in each size, changing bag, play mat, bouncer into the trolley. "Can I also have that musical swing chair and that jumper roo added to the list" I ask. "Of course anything else?" The lady asks smiling "Yes 10 boxes of wet wipes, 4 boxes of each size in pampers nappies, 6 boxes of breast pads, 6 boxes of maternity pads, 3 of each all Johnson baby lotion and Bath stuff, 3 sudo cream and I think that's it for now" I say. "Okay shall we go to the till and get it all added up?" The lady says. "Yes please" I say smiling at the lady. "No need it's all to be delivered to wherever summer wishes minus the clothes she asked to be put aside. I shall be paying" Sean says. I forgot he was even there he was quite the whole time, he even wondered away a few times. "I can pay for it myself" I say. "Nope it's already sorted and paid for you forget I own this whole shopping mall! A simple phone call and it's been sorted" Sean says. "Why did you do that for?" I say while I point at him. "Because if I hadn't messed up we would have been married by now, and I'd of done it anyway! Not only that it's my way of saying sorry for not being able to support you during the pregnancy so far and my way of making it up to our daughter also." Sean's says. " Don't think just because you throw your money around that your forgiven, because your not" I say. "I know, but it's a start to show you I'm serious about being there for our daughter and even you in any way your let me be" he says. I decide to not even waste my breath arguing with him and go to the till to hand over my address and collect my clothes. I wrote down the address for the lady. "Since when do you live there?" Sean asks. "Since I wanted little princess to have a garden" I say. "Can it be delivered Saturday please?" I ask the lady. "Of course it can what time would you like am or pm?" She replies. "Please could you make it pm" I say. I then go to take the shopping bags, but Sean takes them instead. "What now?" I ask "I told you if there's one thing I know it's that pregnant women shouldn't be carrying heavy items." Sean says while giving me a serious look that makes me want to scream in frustration. I just walk out the shop annoyed instead of screaming though. "Where's next on the shopping adventure?" Sean asks following me "Lush" I say seeing it a few stores down. "I should have guessed you can't live without your bath bombs" Sean says "Your one to talk, you are forever stealing them off me" I say "I didn't realise you noticed" he says "I did but when you're in a relationship, it's pointless arguing over petite things" I say. SEAN'S POV Well I never realised Summer noticed that and didn't pull me on it until now. I followed summer into the shop. Before long she had a basket full of her bath products. When it came to the checkout I quickly swiped my card. "Why did you do that for?" Summer asks looking so mad you could mistake her cute face for a tomato. "Replacing the ones I took from you before" I say smiling. "You're so annoying" she moans "Where to next?" I ask following summer. "The perfume shop is my last stop in here and don't even think of paying for anything in there" she says. "Okay I won't pay for it" I say Summer brought the daily love gift sets, Jessica parker gift sets all the Katy Perry gift sets. "Don't forget the one million gift set" I say. "I don't like that!" Summer says "That's why it was the only aftershave you always stole of me hmm?" I say "And that's exactly why I don't like it any more" she replies. "Aww come on that's a bit harsh! You can't take it out on an aftershave." I say "Why not?" she asks while paying. "Because it's not there fault I screwed up it's mine" I say taking the bags. "Okay I'm done shopping, now you can help me get a taxi" Summer says. "No need I will drive you home" I say walking out the shop. You said you would leave me alone after the after Summer says. Yes but I can't let you struggle home my mother would surely Bury me then if I did that. I'm surprised you lasted this long after the last time I spoke to your mum, she was ready to throttle you summer says. Oh! She did that don't worry I'm still in hiding from her wrath now. Summer laughs See I need to redeem myself therefore I will take you home. Fine but you're not coming in just dropping me off Summer says. Okay, however as we walk to the lift Summer takes a seat. Give me 5 minutes my feet hurt, and I'm tired I need a mini break she complains. That's because your stubborn wanting to do all this after a flight I say. Yeah! I should have slipped informing you straight away then I'd be home by now Summer says. I take my phone out and send a message to the manager in the mall. Within a minute I have people to come take the shopping bags to my car. What are you up to now Summer asks. Didn't you say you're tired? And your feet hurt? Yes but I will be okay after I sit here for a few minutes. Well within a few minutes I can have you in the car where the seat is more comfortable I say lifting her into my arms. Put me down Sean I can walk for christsake people are looking she says whacking my chest. Stop being stubborn for once in your life and just accept some help, I know I upset you, but why make yourself suffer more when I can help? Hmm, Where's the sense in that. The sense is I don't want you to carry me as if you own me because you don't! The sense is having to do stuff on my own anyway because you're an f**King asshole who caused me to have to step up and be alone in the first places Summer says while crying. I'm not sure if it's tears or anger or because I broke her heart though. And I will be forever sorry and trying to earn your forgiven but just accept my help. You're not alone Summer no matter what weather you want it or not I'm going to be here to support you both I say as we enter the lift. She doesn't even reply just closes her eyes wiping the tears away, whiling taking a few steady breaths to calm herself down. By the time we reach the car Summer has stopped crying. But still hasn't said anything. Summer I mean every word I say while sitting her into the passenger seat. You can't fix this though she says. Doesn't mean I won't do anything and everything to try though I say before closing the door. I then head around to the driver's seat and get in myself. The bags ate already In the boot, so I start the engine. Just take me home please Summer says Okay I will, do you need any food shopping first? No I had Katy sort that yesterday for me. That's good then I say starting the car. 10 minutes into the drive Summer has fallen asleep, so I change direction and drive to mine. She said she has a house and I don't want to wake her up, so it will be easier to go to mine where there is a lift to my penthouse. She is clearly wiped out from the flight and shopping I didn't have the heart to wake her up. When we got to mine I put Summer in my bed covering her with my quilt. Before going to watch some TV. SUMMERS POV When I woke up it was dark outside, but I knew where I was instantly in Sean's bedroom. I'm going to beat his ass I think to myself getting up heading for the bathroom. While going the loo, I notice all my things are still in here untouched exactly how I'd left them before I left. I remember how the night before I found him f**King that slapper how we made love in the bathtub, yet he still went else where like the man w***e he is. When I was done in the bathroom I checked the bedroom in case my bag was in there it wasn't. But I noticed how our pictures of on holiday where still on bedside tables even my necklace was still there. I looked in the walk in closet and all my clothes where there. Why hadn't he got rid of it all I wondered? Even my wedding dress was still hidden on the top shelf in a bag. Well I wouldn't be needing that now I thought. And I probably wouldn't fit into any of these clothes either, so he may as well throw it all out I thought to myself. As I walked out the bedroom I noticed our pictures remained hung on the wall. Memories of when we used to be happily flooded me. Baby your dad may have been an asshole to me but one thing I know for sure is we were once in love, so you were made out of love I think. I like to believe little princess can hear my thoughts.
