A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty-Five: The Furious Ride
Alexander Finnegan Robertson So this is the bloke, eh? He seems a touch long in the tooth for her. Why the fuck would she date him out of all people? Outwardly, I wore an expression of mild disdain. Internally, however, I was a complete bloody mess—confusion tangled with a quiet, simmering fury. Judging by Anastasia’s startled face, apparently I wasn’t hiding it very well. Blast it. Do I really look that menacing? I forced my features into something more neutral. Then it occurred to me that I wasn’t wearing my disguise. That probably explained the horror in her eyes. I quickly pulled on my mask, sunglasses and cap.“Come to the rear exit of the restaurant. The car’s in the car park,” I said curtly. Anastasia nodded lightly. Then she turned towards that old fellow.“Alright, Caleb. I suppose I’ll see you later. Have a lovely day.” Have a lovely day, eh? How nauseatingly sweet. Did she ever say that to me? My jaw tightened. Ah. Wait. She did. Once. When I pic
A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty-Four: Unmasked Interruption
Alexander Finnegan Robertson A date, is it? I wonder what sort of man she’s gone off with.“Alex, mate, you really need to stop lying to yourself. You’re bloody besotted with Ana.” Max was sprawled across the sofa, controller in hand, looking far too pleased with himself after yet another FIFA victory.“Three–nil. Honestly, where the hell is your head tonight?” I exhaled through my nose and rubbed at my forehead, as though I could physically massage the thoughts out of my skull. For fuck’s sake, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I stop thinking about Anastasia’s date? Whether she was sitting beneath candlelight with some bloke or halfway through bedding half of Brooklyn, it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Nothing.“I’m knackered,” I muttered. “You carry on. I’m going to bed.” I abandoned the controller on the sofa and walked away before he could say anything else. Thankfully, Max let me go. I half expected Milo to trot after me, as he usually did, but the littl
A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty-Three: In Search of Simplicity
Anastasia Greene Johnson“Hello? Who is this?” I heard Ruslan answering my phone while I was in the shower. It was still early. The sun had barely begun to stretch across the horizon, turning the morning sky a pale wash of gold.“No, Mama’s in the bathroom,” Ruslan explained matter-of-factly. “Wait. I’ll tell her.” A pause.“Mama, someone named Caleb wants to talk to you.” My heart nearly leapt out of my chest. Good heavens. I hurriedly dried my hands, wrapped the towel securely around myself and thrust an arm through the bathroom door.“Pass me the phone.” Once it was safely in my hand, I closed the door again and tried to compose myself.“H-hello?” My voice came out breathless. A low chuckle sounded from the other end.“Morning, Anastasia.” Caleb. There was a smile in his voice.“So, that little fellow was your son, I presume?”“Yes.” I could already feel myself blushing. “It’s quite early. I’m getting ready for work, and Ruslan’s school bus will be here soon. Coul
A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty-Two: Supernatural Aim
Alexander Finnegan Robertson“And. . . cut!” Thank heavens for that. The sheer misery of repeating that blasted intimate scene ad nauseam had practically wrung me dry—and probably Hillary as well. We’d both been barely dressed, and I’d spent most of the take draped over her like discarded laundry. The moment Thomas called the end of the scene, I practically launched myself away from her. Hillary sat upright just as quickly. Assistants appeared with robes, which we wrapped around ourselves with the quiet desperation of people who had been pretending to be comfortable for far too long.“Are you all right now, Alex?” Hillary tightened the sash around her waist. There was something unusually sincere in her expression, enough to make me look at her properly.“You know. . . after what Sarah did.” Her voice dropped. “I didn’t want to pry earlier. I thought it was probably too raw. I had no idea things were that bad between you and Sarah. I completely misjudged the situation, and I’
A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty-One: A Possible Fresh Start
Anastasia Greene Johnson“Ana, you’ll never guess!” Brynn’s eyes practically sparkled as she whispered the words, a complete reversal from the silence she’d maintained since I’d returned from practice the previous evening.“What is it?” I asked cautiously. Please don’t tell me you’ve decided I should murder Alex or something equally unhinged.“There’s a gentleman outside. Customer. Late twenties, early thirties at most.” She grinned. “He’s been asking me some interesting questions. Go on. Guess.”“No idea.” Her smile widened like a cat that had just found the cream. She tugged me closer and lowered her voice.“He asked about you.”“What?!” I nearly shouted. Brynn dissolved into laughter.“Yes. He clearly noticed you while you were serving the other tables. And, well. . .” she gave me a knowing look. “He seemed rather taken with you. When I went over to take his order, he asked me to send you over. His description of you was practically word for word.” Oh, dear God.“Did he s
A Love Once Lost Chapter Eighty: Invasion in Dreams
Alexander Finnegan Robertson“You looked like you’d just waltzed straight out of a dream today, Alex. Honestly, Ana’s the full package, isn’t she?” Max simply wouldn’t let it go. Not even while we were in the middle of an online war on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.“For God’s sake, concentrate on the bloody game! We’re getting slaughtered!” I snapped, giving him a light smack on the back of his thick skull.“Oh, what’s this?” He flashed that infuriating grin. “Jealous because I spoke to Ana for a few minutes?”“They’re dive-bombing our base, Max!”“And what exactly do you expect me to do? Ring Ana for reinforcements?”“You fucking—” My phone suddenly came to life, cutting me off. Max leaned towards me. “Let me guess. . . Ana?” I smacked him again.“Ow!”“Try not to cock up the game while I take this.” His gaze flicked towards the screen. The moment he saw the caller ID, his expression flattened.“It’s Thomas. Who else do you suppose enjoys ruining my evening at ten o’clo
