Picture of William on the side. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her chocolate brown hair cascaded down her back. The way her hazel eyes glimmered in the moonlight made his knees weak. Her tropical scented body leaving a trial as she walked by. Her long legs came closer to him. She lowered her head to my ear and slowly whispered. “I” she paused, “love.” And that’s when Henry  jolted up awake.

He's been having that very same dream for four years. She hasn’t got out of his head ever since and it was doing his head in. The nurse came in and smiled; she was young and just finished her degree. It was a little awkward between them since she asked him out and he refused. She was pretty, not going to lie, but the girl he loved was an angel. And he was willing to wait for her, no matter how long it takes.

 Finally he drifted into sleep and dreamt the very same dream that he always dream of.

 (Unknown)

 He stared at her from behind. Empty torn cans lay on the floor, even though there was a dustbin just nearby. She abrupt to a stop, turning slowly in his direction, quickly he ducked his head under the steering wheel hoping that she didn’t see him. Once he knew it was safe he slowly lifted his head back up.

His phone ringing brought him out of his thoughts. His eyes scanned the name. With a groan he picked up, he didn’t need this shit now. “What?”

“Umm…Sorry are you busy?” she questioned.

“Yes I was, I already picked up so what the hell do you want?” he angrily demanded. He heard her sniff from the line, a clear indication that she was just starting to cry.

“Erm, I’m sorry I disturbed you. It won’t happen again” Before he could reply she hung up. Now he felt bad for snapping at her. She was his wife, the mother of his child.

He rang her back but she didn’t pick up. He tried again and again and after five minutes she answered.

“Where were you? I was trying to call for five damn minutes,” he snapped. Realising what he did, he slumped down in his seat. Sighing, he rubbed his forehead. “I’m sorry babe. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I was just calling to apologize and you weren’t answering and I just got worried. I‘m really sorry.”

“No, it’s fine. There is nothing to worry about. I saw Mrs Green and asked her to take care of Carl. I called you before because we just needed some milk for breakfast tomorrow.” From her voice he could she wanted to cry. Her voice was full of sadness and depression.

“Oh, why didn’t you take him?”

“He isn’t feeling well and is coming down with a fever so I didn’t want to take him out. If it’s no trouble can you get him some medicine please? Or I can just tell Mrs Green to look after him and walk up to the high street.”

“Babe, it’s no trouble. I don’t my baby mama to get sick now do I?” he said with a laugh, it’s something he's been calling her since their son was born.

“Alright thanks." 

“Alright well see you soon baby mama, I love you” She seemed a little shocked to his words. Looks like he's been treating her really bad recently. “Awe, you not going to say it back?”

“Oh no. I don’t mean no, I mean of course. I love you too” He laughed at her mumbling; that’s one of the things he loves about her.

He hung up the phone and drove home making sure he got the things he needed from the shops. And of course he got something for his wife. “Honey I’m home” he shouted as he entered the house.

“Daddy!” He picked up his three year old son and spun him round over his neck several times before landing him on his foot.

“Becca?” he called out his wife name, but there was no response. He looked down at his son who looked half dead. Chuckling to himself, he picked him up, fed him medicine and tucked him into bed. Still, there was no response from Becca.

He walked into the room cautiously and found Becca staring out the window, biting her nails. Silently he made his way to her and wrapped his arms round her waist, which caused her to jump halfway in the air.

“Don’t do that.” She grumbled. Her muscles seemed tensed. He buried my head in her neck.

“Relax” he whispered. He felt her body relax as she leaned back into him. He breathed in her scent. Strawberries.

“Are you smelling me?” She slowly asked with curiosity.

“You smell nice.”

“Thanks?” He laughed at her confused face. 

“So what’s wrong? I’ve been home for half an hour and called you like every ten minutes. What you thinking about?” She looked hesitant to say something but then with a defeated sigh she opened her mouth to speak.

“It’s just…Gosh I’m gonna sound like really weird and such a clingy girl now…But you haven’t said ‘I love you’ for a really long time and all you’ve been doing is snapping at me and I guess I stated to think that maybe you don’t love me anymore.” He stared at her in shock. Sure, he was stalking a girl but that didn't mean he didn’t love her anymore.

He cupped her cheeks and made her look at her. “Babe, I will always love you. I’m sorry I haven’t said it for a long time. And I haven’t meant to snap at you and I am really really really sorry. But I want you to know that whatever happens I love you. This isn’t a good enough excuse but work has just been biting my ass. They are gonna fire a few people so I have to show that I’m good enough to stay there. I will always love you. You’re my baby mama, aren’t you?”

“I sure am” He hugged her and we stayed in silence.

“I got a present for you.”

“You didn’t have to-.” He put my hand over her mouth and placed the present into her hands. “Oh wow, it’s beautiful. Thank you so much.” She stared down at the two bracelets; one had Carl’s name engraved on it and the other had his.

“I got a present for you too” She winked at him.

“Oh really? What is it?” She took his hand in hers and when he was going to say something she hushed him. She guided his hand to her stomach and it took a while before he realised what she was trying to say.

His eyes widened with shock as he stared at her. “Really?” She nodded her head vigorously; like a small child on sugar rush. He picked her up and spun her round. Her laugh echoed through the empty house. “How far are you?”

“Nearly three months” She looked down sheepishly.

“And you’re telling me now?” he asked a bit hurt.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t sure about your feelings and I just wanted to know if you actually wanted to stay with me. And then I thought that if I tell you then you’re gonna get up and leave and I want you to stay and I was just confused and upset and confused and I didn’t know if you were happy. I was angry at myself and I was really really confused and the bloody hormones are making things even more worse.” She stopped to take a breath in and he just laughed at her. She glared at him before stumping off into the bathroom.

He just stripped down to my boxers and climbed into bed. She came out a few minutes later and climbed into bed but right at the corner of the bed. He moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. “Babe I’m sorry. I just found it cute how you kept rambling on and on.” After she told him that she loved him they both fell asleep.

William went round to his mum’s house, like every Sunday, after hanging out with his friend, David. After eating, his mum and dad had a look on their faces, a face that no child can ever trust.

“Sweety come and sit down, we need to talk.” He knew that was coming. That’s exactly what she said before she sat him down and started to talk about the ‘birds and the bees’. With a groan William sat down on the furthest sofa away from them.

“Yo Will, where you at?” William held in his laughter as he saw David’s shocked face when he saw William's parents. “Umm…I’m sorry?” David rubbed the back of his neck. Anna and Dwayne only laughed and told him to sit down. “Thanks mum, thanks dad.” Over the years David has gotten so close to William's family he now calls William's parents by Mum and Dad, and he did the same to his parents. So I guess that’s kind of fair, William thought. 

“Well anyways William we have to talk to you.” Anna dragged on slowly. She looked up at her son and she seemed as though she was having trouble finding the right words. “You...Umm...No...We have...No wait....But...I don’t...You...” It went like this for a while until she finally told  Dwayne to tell him.

“Son, you’re getting married.” He stated. William stared at his dad confused.

“Dad, what are you talking about? I’m not engaged. I don’t even have a girlfriend. I’m not even ready to settle down,” he replied back, still confused.

“OH SHIT, YOU’RE GETTING ARRANGED MARRIAGE BRO.” William stared at David in horror. Arranged marriage? he asked himself. 

“David. Language young man.” Anna snapped. He sat back down on the sofa.

“Sorry mum, sorry dad.” He mumbled. 

“Son the girl wants the money and by this way we are-.”

“Wait what?” he snapped. “So you’re telling me that the girl I’m marrying is only after my money? So she is just a gold digger then.”

“Son no, she needs it. She doesn’t have a-.” his dad tried to fix his mistake. 

“Stop. Can you just tell me her name please? I don’t care about anything else.” It stayed quiet for a while except the fact that David was humming ‘Beauty and a beat’ by ‘Justin Bieber’.

“Juliet Smith.” David and William looked at each other in shock. Juliet Smith. The only girl William ever loved. His best friend that just vanished out of thin air the supposing day he was going to confess his feelings to her. The very same Juliet that is now after his money.

“BRO, YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED TO THE GIRL YOU LOVE. YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY!!” William shot David a glare before focusing his eyes back on his shocked parents.

“You love her?” his mum questioned.

“I thought I did. But now that I know that she is after my money, no. Not anymore.” he grumbled.

“Son, it was a wrong word to use. She needs the money.” Dwayne tried to explain. William just got up from the sofa and stormed off to his house, David following.

For the first time in a long time Juliet left the hospital with a smile on her face. She was going to marry the guy she loved since her teens. She still wasn’t sure if he was angry or not that she left randomly that day without even saying goodbye.

Today they were going to come to her house. All sorts of thoughts ran through her head. ‘Does he think I’m after his money? Does he know why I need the money? Does he even remember me? What if he hates me? Is he angry with me? Does he-‘

She jumped at the sudden noise of the doorbell. She slowly made her way towards the door. Sure enough there was a beautiful woman with a man standing next to her, both with warm smiles.

“Hello I am Anna, and this is my husband Dwayne.” She introduced herself and her husband. Her future mother and father in law. 

“I’m Juliet. It’s a pleasure meting you. Thank you for coming.”

“Aww Dwayne she is so beautiful and cute.” She blushed at Anna’s comment. “Aww and she is blushing too” Dwayne just laughed at his wife. Admiration and amusement in his eyes.

“Honey leave the girl alone. You’re embarrassing her. Come on, get in. I will get William.”

Alice came rushing in. still in her apron.

“I’m sorry Anna. I was just finishing some cookies. Didn’t want them to burn now did I? “They both hugged each other.

“Long time no see Alice.” They both went towards the kitchen to catch up and Juliet was left awkwardly standing there in the middle of the sitting room. 

She started to walk towards my bedroom when she bumped into someone.

“Watch where you’re going.” The voice snapped. Immediately she recognised that voice. It was William’s. He sounded angry and annoyed. She looked up to only meet with two blank hazel eyes.

“I’m sorry...” she muttered.

“William Clarkson, what have I told you about talking to women-.” Dwayne started but she interrupted him,

“No, Dwayne it’s my fault. I bumped into him; I wasn’t looking where I was going. It’s no bother.” Without letting him say anything Juliet silentley walked away to the bathroom. At that moment she felt so betrayed. He was her best friend. Wiping the few tears away she walked out and again bumped into someone else.

“I’m so sorry.” she muttered. Laughter filled Juliet's ears. 

“Darling, it’s okay. Your mum just told me to find you for lunch.”. Relief ran through her body, she didn't want to see William now. 

They both went through the kitchen and all sat down. Juliet sat down next to her mum, Dwayne at the end of the table and William and his mum opposite me. William and Juliet sat in silence as the adults made small conversation. It wasn’t until when Anna said that the wedding was in two days that brought Juliet back to attention. William stayed calm. 

“I’m sorry, what did you say?” Without even looking at Juliet she replied,“Yes. It’s in two days. You heard right. William wanted a small one. Only him and you, and of course us at the registrar. No big wedding. You could invite some friends if you want to.”

“If she has any.” William muttered under his breath, obviously not quiet enough since the whole table heard him. Juliet's cheeks blushed in embarrassment.

He was right, she thought, I don't have any friends. Juliet just didn’t have the time to go and socialize since she was always with her brother in the hospital.

“William Clarkson, you should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you talk to your future wife like that-“

“Really Anna, it is fine.” Anna's head snapped back to Juliet with disbelief written on her face.

“No, Juliet it isn’t fine. It so isn’t fair. William what have I taught you. Never disrespect women-“

“SHE ONLY WANTS MY MONEY.” William shouted.

“Excuse me.” Juliet got up and went to her room unable to take it all in. He hated her. The one she loved hated her. Someone knocked on the door and came in.

“Sweety I am so sorry about William. It was my fault that he done that. I accidentally said ‘want’ instead of ‘need’.  I’m so sorry honey. He now thinks that you’re after his money. I tried explaining to him but he wouldn’t listen. Stubborn boy he is. Please forgive me sweety. I really didn’t mean for this to happen.” Juliet looked at Dwayne with tears in her eyes. Without saying anything she went to him and hugged him. He reminded her so much of my dad.

“Dwayne, it is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Even though it may take a long time for him to listen I have faith in him that he will one day listen to my story and understand that I’m not after his money.  I bet you it will take less than four months.” They both laughed at that for a while.

“Actually, I think it will take over six months, let alone four.” 

“Can you not tell Liam please? And can you not try as well? Please?” He stared at her confused for a while.

“Who is Liam?”

“Oh I’m sorry. We both went to school together and I decided to call him Liam. He hated it when people called him that but because I was his best friend he didn’t mind at all.”

Just then Anna came in and smiled apologetically at Juliet.

“I’m sorry sweety. I never raised him to do that. I am so ashamed.”

“You shouldn't be. I’m sure that- Actually I know that you’re a great mother. Dwayne told me what happened. And I completely understand. I would be pretty mad too.”  

After they both promised Juliet they head back to Liam and  Alice.

Anna watched as both Juliet and Dwayne embraced. He always wanted a daughter. A daughter who he could be proud of.

Anna felt bad for Juliet and so ashamed that her own son was doing that. Even though they wanted to talk to William, Juliet promised them not to. Ands he couldn't break a promise to her future daughter.
