Percy's POV
"Blood transfusion is no longer working for her Ms. Wilson. She needs a bone marrow transplant soon." The doctor exclaimed. For the past year, me and my 3-year-old daughter Tillie have been in and out of the hospital.
It all started with noticeable fatigue, paleness, and a bleeding nose. Tillie was born 2 months early, so growing up her body was a little frail. I remember the first time I took her home. I couldn't sleep that night as I watched her breathe, I was so anxious that she wouldn't be able to survive outside her incubator throughout the night, but she did.
After 2 years she was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia meaning her body stopped producing enough blood cells.
"How long before we can find a donor?" I asked looking at my little girl who was playing on the side.
"She has a rare blood type and since you are not a match, I suggest you inform the father of the child to see if he is a match." He calmly said.
"Is there another option?"
"I'm afraid there is not. She needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible and she's below the donor list."
My heart dropped when I heard him say that. Tillie doesn't have a father. It's always been her and me. But knowing my daughter needs him, I know I needed to go back and ask for his help.
Theodore Huxley.
The guy who impregnated me and left me for another girl.
4 YEARS AGO
I and my brother Apollo always had the biggest and hottest house parties in the neighborhood. Our parents were working abroad and so it was always been just the two of us.
I was in the bar area donning 10 shots of tequila.
"Max is a loser! You're hot, you need to catch a man and get laid tonight." My friend Steff suggested.
"Max ruined my self-esteem. He constantly criticizes every single thing about me." Maximilian Moore and I have been dating on and off for about 2 years. At first, he was sweet, like taking me back and forth to school type of sweet or writing love letters when he feel like it. But he grew lazy and possessive. In some fights, he would get physical. But I thought I love him and that I deserved that for being a brat sometimes.
"Alcohol is bad for me. I'm gonna go upstairs for a shower." I said excusing myself from the party. Apollo was by the pool playing with his boys, some were passed out on the floor while others were making out on the staircase.
My room was occupied by my friend who was hooking up and so I decided to rest in my brother's bedroom.
I locked the door upon entering. Luckily there wasn't anyone in the room. I quickly took off my clothes, grabbed a towel, and hit the cold shower to sober up.
After a good 10 minutes, I turned off the tap, wrapped my body in a towel, and walked back to the room.
"Cecile?" A low drunken voice called out. I instantly know who it is. Pol's best friend.
Theodore fucking "Hotxley"
"I'm not Cecile, Theo. Get outside, I'm going to rest here." I commanded with both my hands crossed on my chest. He was lying stomach down on the bed, exposing his sexy back.
"Hey, little sis!" he said as he stood up in his towering height and perfectly sculpted body.
"Or you can stay." I seductively smirked. I admit I do have a little crush on him growing up. I mean he was basically sculpted by the god himself. But it felt weird since he's been my brother's best friend since high school.
"You're my brother's baby sister. You're off-limits." Way to ruin the mood.
"Only if he finds out. Well, you can leave now and let me rest." I said swooshing him away. I walked past him but he quickly took my hand and caged me in a deep kiss. His beer-tasting mouth was swallowing mine.
He broke the kiss and looked me in the eyes. "He can't know." He growled. I nodded my head and he went back to dominating my lips. The towel wrapped around me slid off to the floor. I was completely naked in front of him. He stepped back to check me out before trailing his tongue down my body.
He took me on the couch inside Pol's room. On a normal night, I wouldn't be as bold as I was. But I got my heart broken and was basically running on tequila. Hook-ups weren't really my thing and what's worst was it was my brother's best friend.
But this was something I'll never regret.
After a few rounds of workouts, dawn was already breaking. The party outside was now starting to die down.
I was lying on top of him panting.
"That was---"
"A mistake," I said sitting up to find my clothes.
"An amazing one if you ask me." He said sexily.
"We need to go. Pol's gonna be back any minute." I said looking for my bra. "Have you seen my bra?"
He then handed me back my bra.
"Why are you in a hurry? Why don't you come back here and we can continue where we left off."
"Tempting but no. You're like my brother. This is incest."
"We're not related."
"Well, you have a girlfriend. And I'm not going to be your next side hoe." As much as I hated saying that, I knew about his relationship with Cecile.
"We broke up last night. Aren't you with Moore? Or did you break up again before he comes here with a bunch of flowers and an expensive box of bonbons?"
My heart dropped when he said that, a tear clouded my eyes and my throat tighten at the thought. "We're over for real. He Uhm slapped me across the face and so I ran out and broke up with him."
"Oh. Percy, I'm sorry."
"It's nothing. And he doesn't buy me an expensive box of bonbons, only the convenience store types."
After waving him goodbye I exited the room and went into mine, to get some sleep. Most of the people were going home and the household keeps were starting to clean up.
