"She didn't? Wow I'm wounded Alexis. Why would you try to make this sweet girl hate me? Unless you like me and don't want anyone else to set their eyes on me"
Having had enough Alexis stalked to where Marjorie was and pulled her towards the stairs. "My room. Now!"
"Wow. You women in this house are like super territorial over your men." Marj said stumbling because her attention was still on Ray.
"What do you mean by 'we women'?"
"You and your mom of course."
Alexis groaned throwing her inside and locking her room. "Tell me you didn't try to hit on my dad"
"I didn't. I just told him he was hot and that had your mother unleashing her claws o

They stood outside the gates looking for the familiar face among the throng of students filing out of the college. Alexis had taken Marjorie's advice and slipped into a sexy number. A cream off shoulder figure-hugging dress with cut-outs at the waist and a slit that stopped mid-thigh. Paired with red pumps, she looked drop dead gorgeous if the looks people threw their way weren't obvious. She'd taken after her mother when it came to her physique. Well endowed was the term Marj had used that one time. Not that she hadn't tried to change how she looked.Like every teenager out there, Alexis had gone on diets, starved herself, lived on water just to look slim. Attempts that had all gone in vain because the weight always came back, almost immediately. At least that's what she'd thought. After countless times, she had given up and embraced her body. All because of Connor. He'd told her she was
BROKEN PROMISES TEN
Marjorie wished she had a Vudu doll that looked like Connor so she could stick pins in it and hurt him like how he was about to hurt her friend. Although Alexis couldn't see it, Connor was a lying, cheating, hypocritical, ugly ass bastard. It made her so mad that he was getting away with it. Worse? Alexis believed him. How could she?They'd met at an event and became friends instantly. And when her grandfather had died, Marjorie had been the one that suggested they go abroad to study so she could get away from the place that reminded her so much of Jim. He was a nice guy, who spoiled Alexis giving her whatever it was she wanted. Not that she was complaining. Her parents had bought a ranch just to accommodate all her pets. As kids who grew up in rich families, she knew what it was like to be dotted on. And just like Alexis, she was also the only girl at home with four brothers which is why
BROKEN PROMISES ELEVEN
Seven years agoThere were people everywhere. Mostly their parents' friends but still, she hadn't known these many people would come to celebrate Ray's birthday. It's not like he had any friends because he just kept to himself. In fact, Alexis would go as far as to say the only friend he had wasJayden, her younger brother.They went around together even though Ray was twice maybe three times older than him. She didn't understand what they talked about but it was none of her business. Boys would always be boys.Walking in she placed her gift next to where the others were. She hadn't known what to buy him so she'd asked her father who had suggested something boyish like a watch or even cufflinks. She didn't understand why boys were so complicated. If this was his sister's birthday
BROKEN PROMISES TWELVE
Alexis looked at Ray from beneath her lashes. His eyes were so intense and they made her uncomfortable. She was sure he was taking a trip down Memory Lane just like she was. That day she'd stood there frozen not knowing what to do except kiss him back. He hadn't asked if he could kiss her or if it was alright to do so. But she also hadn't stopped him either. By the time he pulled back, her head had been buzzing and her lips tingling. He sure could kiss. For a while there she'd had a crush on him. He was after all her first kiss.Then two days later she'd seen him making out with another girl. Alexis had felt stupid for even thinking he liked her. He'd ignored her ever since they met so why had she thought that all of a sudden he liked her? She hated him for stealing her first kiss. How she wished it had been Connor or someone else but it was done. She also wasn't sure why Marjorie was bri

Stunned, Alexis shut her mouth and sat rigidly until Ray stopped the car on 5th Avenue. She got out and followed Marjorie into the store not bothering to know which one it was. Her head was spinning in circles trying to understand why he would say that when he didn't mean it. He couldn't.Before the kiss, he'd ignored her. Once when she was ten she had decided to bother him until he noticed her. Determined she'd gone to Vince's house to spend the weekend and she'd started with parking herself in his room. He had acted like she was invisible until she had started singing at the top of her voice. Then, he'd carried her out of his room and deposited her just outside the door and locked himself in. She had tried everything to make him like her but she'd failed. At least that's what she thought. It was what she was going to keep thinking. What he'd sai
BROKEN PROMISES FOURTEEN
Four hours later they exited the shop. That was after Alexis had argued with Marjorie because apparently they'd decided to buy only four dresses but she'd found six that she really liked and wouldn't let go off until they were paid for. Then there were the shoes and since they hadn't talked about those, they argued for about half an hour until Ray decided to pay for them so they could just leave. But not before putting a reminder on his phone that said'Never take Marjorie shopping'so he never fell into that trap again. Now that they were outside, he could almost hear Alexis' thoughts. She wanted to go with Marjorie but he wasn't going to let her. He had to clear some things up."I'll put those in the car" he snatched the bags she was carrying then walked to where his car was parked without looking back. He opened the back door placing the bags on the seat then turned
BROKEN PROMISES FIFTEEN
Hayley had invited the Lachlan's over for dinner. She wanted to know what Ray's plans were to get Alexis and a dinner seemed like the best place to ask without appearing as one of those nosy moms. She'd serve them dinner then ask for his help to clear the table when they were done. In the kitchen she'd corner him and ask him why he kept staring at Alexis all night. It was a solid plan. In her head. In reality things went sideways the second they stepped through the door.JR was still holding a grudge against Vince for keeping him away from her all those years ago. Every time they were in a room together, they glared at each like teenagers. Not that Vince actually cared. She'd taken him aside on her wedding day and asked him to bury the hatchet with her soon to be husband and surprisingly he'd said he held no grudges. But JR? Sometimes she wo

"What was the purpose of having this dinner again?""None of your business." she snapped"Okay. I'll be here when you're done snapping. I deserve to know why I have to share a table with Vincent when it's not necessary." JR said kissing her cheek then going back to his food. Of course he was right. She hadn't told him why she invited the Lachlans for dinner but in her defense, he had a way of ruining things. Especially if he found out what she was doing. Hayley shuddered. Her husband would go berserk, that was for sure."So Ray how is work?" she asked throwing a piece of chicken in her mouth."It's okay..... ""That boring. Huh?"
