Chapter 13

Maggie

I was in the kitchen whipping up a lasagna that my father had requested for dinner, and against my better judgement, I obliged him. I knew he probably shouldn’t have been eating something as heavy as lasagna, but it was rare these days that my father actually requested food of any kind, so I felt the need to get him what he wanted.

Apparently, lack of judgement was a common theme in my life lately.

Despite my determination to cut off Edward, I hadn’t done so at all. We continued to secretly hook up, and I grew more and more attached to him every day.

That attachment had run out of control, really. I thought of Edward constantly. Even when I was working with the kids, I was always praying for Edward to pop up. He had become a constant fixture in my mind, and I was properly embarrassed about that fact. Still, I let it continue.

Simply because he was irresistible to me. Not to be crude, but I’d never had sex this good in my life. He sent my mind into places it’d never been before, and I couldn’t give him up for the life of me. I wanted him every second of every day. It never ended.

I knew that was going to happen, though. I had nobody to blame but myself. I certainly didn’t blame Edward, but I did want him badly.

It was pathetic, really. I mean, I was never going to be a serious girlfriend for him. He was a prince. He needed to date and subsequently marry someone who had similar social status. And that absolutely wasn’t me and never would be. I wasn’t the woman for him. No matter how much I wished I could be.

It wasn’t just Edward’s good looks that got me. After we would hook up, we’d hang out and talk about life, and he was just so easy to get on with. You’d think someone who had been told all his life how important he was would be a little egotistical, but he wasn’t. He had a kind soul. He always listened about what was going on with my life. He made me feel cared for.

Which only made my feelings worse. If I wanted to stick to not having feelings for him, then I probably should have ceased talking to him after we had sex. I found rejecting his conversation was just as hard as rejecting his advances.

I was putting on a middle layer of lasagna and decided to load up a lot more eggplant and zucchini than I normally would. I may have been giving in to my dad’s desires a bit, but I wouldn’t tell him that this was a lasagna loaded with veggies and low-fat cheese. Hopefully he wouldn’t even notice.

When I finished layering, I’d load it up with marinara and put noodles on top. It would take about an hour in the oven, but at least the house would smell amazing tonight. There were way too many nights lately where I succumbed to frozen meals because I was tired from work and from taking care of my dad.
