The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“Wow! I often come across online videos of babies kicking in their mother’s belly, but I never expect it’ll be this strong,” said
Annie in surprise and awe. “Corinne, you seem like you have a very naughty baby inside you. Does it not make you
uncomfortable?”
A motherly halo appeared above Corinne’s head. She gently stroked her belly while saying, “It’s bearable. I won’t be surprised if
this kid turns out as exasperating as his dad.”
Annie rested her cheek on her hand as she stared at Corinne, who was absolutely overflowing with happiness albeit without
herself aware of it. “Oh, Corinne, I’m so jealous of you. You and Uncle Jeremy are going to live happily ever after together. I hope
I’ll find a man that loves me as much as Uncle Jeremy loves you in the future.”
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you have a boyfriend? I’m sure the wedding bells will be ringing for you soon.”
Annie’s expression immediately dimmed. “Actually... We’ve broken up.”
Corinne was not surprised at all. “Why did you two break up?”
Annie sighed and said, “He...proposed to me, and that scared me, so I didn’t say yes.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes. “You mean getting married scares you?”
Annie frowned. She looked a little lost when she answered, “No, it’s not that. I am looking forward to getting married and would
often think about how I want my wedding to be. You heard of the time I nearly got married, right? Well, I found out my ex-fiance
was a cheating dirtbag, so I put a stop to the wedding. Before that, I really looked forward to my wedding day. For some reason,
I’m very resistant to the idea of getting married to Marcus.”
“Well, the reason is simple. You don’t love him,” said Corinne simply, hitting the nail on the head.
Annie’s expression froze. ‘I don’t love Marcus? Well, yes, that’s true. He’s a nice guy, for sure. I don’t have to worry about being
cheated on when I’m with him,’ she thought.
She was tired of falling for one cheating dirtbag after another, even though she only had herself to blame for that. Thus, she
thought the way to solve her dilemma was to find a good, honest man to marry. However, Marcus’ proposal brought to light her
unwillingness to settle for a man she did not love.

Seeing how lost and confused Annie looked, Corinne was about to give her some advice when Joey said, “Auntie Sissy, no pee
pee on pants. You need to go to the toilet to pee-pee.”
‘Pee pee on pants?’ Corinne turned toward Joey and saw he was staring at her pants with his big, bright eyes. She looked down
and realized her bottom half was completely drenched. There was even a pool of water on the floor.
‘Sh*t!’
Annie noticed the situation too. She started to panic. “C...Corinne, what’s going on? What’s happening to you?”
Corinne frowned. “Annie, my water broke. Don’t panic. Calm down and call an ambulance for me.”
“O...Okay! I’ll call 911 now!” Annie hurriedly took out her phone and dialed the emergency hotline. Once she was put through,
she told the operator their situation and address.
“Corinne, the ambulance is on its way. It should reach in about 10 minutes. How are you feeling? Can you hang in there?”
Joey did not understand what was happening. Scared, he clutched Corinne’s hand and cried while calling, “Auntie Sissy...
Auntie Sissy... Auntie Sissy...”
Corinne was in so much pain from the contraction that she struggled to catch her breath. However, that did not stop her from
telling Annie what to do, comforting Joey, and looking at the clock on the wall all at the same time.
‘Sh*t! The baby’s coming sooner than expected. Here goes nothing!’
