Hugo
I cannot get over how adorable Erica looked last night. She had cut her hair and I knew it wasn’t her real hair but instead of the long wavy elaborate curls , she copped the hair so that her curls would look wild.
Even qwhen she had chocolate mousse all over her face I she was just the most ; funny and genuine person I’ve come across. When she’s drunk she is all of the above things I’ve mentioned amplified .
I really wanted to see her again , but I knew that the bakery would be closed and that meant she wasn’t going to be at the shop , but as luck would have it ; I found out from my brother who is good friends with Erica that, She and I are actually neighbors.
When Marc was taking her home with him , he had forgotten to take h
Chapter 14EricaI really love my own space and time alone , but more than that ; spending time with someone who wants to spend time with you and get to know you on a deeper level is awesome . I have known for a while now that Marc loves Cleopatra and he also swung both ways so I didn’t know where I stood with him .All I knew before Friday was that he saved me and apart from the fact that he is open and upfront about a lot of stuff and he is able to keep things under wraps , I actually enjoyed my weekend with him, without the friend zone barrier .If a romantic , intense , attentive , and caring guy existed he was it . It was Sunday morning and after the sexy Saturday I had and the mistake I made of getting drunk in public with Mikayla , I really needed a break .After I got cleaned u
Chapter 15HugoI am forever in doubt and that’s my problem. Besides getting into my head about things , I cong at instantly need to be sure about what’s going on and part of me loves control in all forms .For the first time in my life I have no control over what is going and its daunting in an educational type of way . I have always had everything I could ever want and need , except for a relationship with my father . I was in debt and the house he had given me; which I now found out was , the same house he gave to Chloe when she was in need the most , had some sort of meaning .I had a DNA test ran on a child that I suspected was not mine and the results had been mailed to me but I didn’t check my mail properly. I have a baby boy, who is now five years old and lives with my mother . I don’t know how to be a dad , part of me fe
Chapter 16EricaI haven't been in a relationship for such a long time ; I forgot what it felt like to do something to for someone and try to see things from their point of view.Most of the time I would be the one who'd sacrifice my time and my priorities for someone who doesn't even care about me the way I want them to. If what I give you isn't reciprocated in any form , I take it as a sign to end things and just walk away .Matthew just didn't have any self control and so did Alex . Marc on the other hand is willing to try and make things work between us in more ways than one .When I woke up this morning I thought I was going back home . Instead ; he had his assistant manger fetch some clothes for me and bring them to his house . Everything in my closet has its place but I knew I had an overnight bag packed at the back of my boot . Blane ; Ma
Chapter 17HugoThere is a special kind of rush you get when you play a match , or when you are in an arena full of people or spectators .It’s a rush that is addictive. I didn’t understand what the fuss was about when I would watch post match conferences and the player ; who won man of the match would be elated and they would be smiling from ear to ear . I could almost describe it like getting an unexpected gift that fills your soul with unspeakable joy .I can remember it like it was yesterday . The vibration of the arena that is so powerful that the ground beneath you shakes, you can feel it when you walk through the tunnels , and when your boot touches the grass .The electric shock that vibrates through your body is like experiencing an outer body experience that gets you on a natural high . When you are actually on the pitch p
Chapter 18 Erica I love road trips . Travelling in general is exciting for me because I am a home body . I now know that I wasn’t sure about Alexander because he didn’t seem sincere and I was in doubt before I could decide what I really felt . With Marc it came like a rip tide . You never realize that you have feelings for someone until they admit they have feelings for you and even though they claim to know you inside out ,little quirks included. Marc Jasper blew everything out of the water ,and by everything I mean this guy has made it his mission to know me like the back of his hand . On our way to a town that looked like the Hamptons in South Africa ; Marc and I were stopped by the cops on a Sunday morning . The cops thought that Marc had taken me against my will. The cop had asked Marc to step
Chapter 19HugoI don’t like being part of a scandal or story that would put my private life in the spotlight . I wouldn’t mind when I was with Lisa Rose because she was a model who loved attention at any cost , that included posting pictures o f me sleeping . I mean who does that ? I drool when I sleep how can that look adorable ? Ever since I found out I was Michael’s father , I’ve been doing everything in my power to stop being in the papers.I needed to set the record straight that; none of what was written was true , and so I went online to set the record straight .I told my side of the story and disputed everything written and I also went on to say that: I would be exploring my options with regards to suing for deformation of character and that it wasn’t fair to Erica or my son to be talked about
Chapter 20 Erica The trouble with love is that ; love can be unpredictable and by that I mean, you never know what you're going to get once you have fallen. I have loved and lost before and I have fallen only to find that the safety net had a hole and I landed on the floor on my face in pain , asking myself why the damn hell didn't I do a safety check for my heart. What's worse than thinking that you have finally found someone who gets your kind of crazy and loves all the things you love , Is finding out they weren't the right person for you in so many ways . Marc just blew everything I thought love was out of the water . I thought that he was in doubt but he was in love. After eating breakfast at the diner , he drove us back to the cabin to go pack because we had another two hour road trip back home the following day and he wanted to show me something . I'm familiar with most hospitals because I had worked with soccer clubs before but something about where
Chapter 21HugoI don't know how to handle nerves in an area that I don't have any experience in . Lisa was easy to read because ;she was predictable. When you thrive on attention everything you do needs to be observed by anyone and everyone. I had to adjust to not playing soccer anymore and it sucks to the point where I am struggling ,and I don't want to speak about it I'd rather numb the pain. I was been driven around so if I wanted to have a drink before my meeting I could . Michael was staying over at my brother's house and his show and tell was in Friday .I told Luca to bring my son with him because he wanted to see Erica and given the past weekend and the gossip that was spreading ; the last thing I needed was for Erica to have her right to living a normal life taken away from her. I knew how it felt like to have your privacy invaded.
