DEXTER:

“ I'd have never guessed that at the end of the day you two would get married” Mr Liam said with a huge smile on his face, “to be honest sometimes I do purchase from the Withmore's, you know quality from you and her too”

We both laugh while holding hands, “oh Mr Liam” Lorraine says, “now you get the best of both worlds, win win no?”

“Indeed” he signs the document, “I can't wait to work with the both of you, it's always an honor”

“Thank you”I laugh a little and nod then stand up.

I entered the car and my hangover hit me like a wave. I took another Advil to calm my brain but it felt like a nail was being knocked into my head.

“I’m a disappointment”

“You're not a disappointment Dex”

I could still hear that dialogue in my head, whether it was Lorraine or not, It continued playing over and over again. Lorraine on the other hand hasn't said anything to me, she's done nothing but answer emails and phone calls. The constant ringing of her phone was driving me nuts but I

    MATTEO: “Over there please, make sure they're right in the middle” I order the second waiter as she sets the table. My mother's birthday had to be one of the most important days in the year and I take it extremely seriously. After days of putting everything in order, it has to come out perfect. “Thirty drink pouches delivered” I hear Ava behind me, “sign here and here”. I take the clipboard from her and sign, “thanks Ava” “Sure” she walks away but I hold her arm and pull her to the side, “what is it?” She scoffs, “im not going to allow ruin her life Matteo” “Ava” I take a deep breath in, “I'm…I'm not going to do that and you know” “Oh I don't, does she? My God Matteo, you were supposed to stay away, why are you back here?” “Really? Is that how you're going to talk to me?” “I would talk to you however I please” she moves closer to me, “did you ever tell her?” She says quietly. “Ava” I breathe out, “we..we were kids, it was..” She stops me and chuckles, “that's al

    LORRAINE: I hated this. I hated being in the same vicinity as Dexter. It annoyed me, it irritated me so my goddamn bones. I turn to the next page of my book, while he was just there sitting still and gripping the edge of his chair while staring blankly outside the window. “Relax or you'll ruin the chair” I say as I eat another grape, “what is wrong with you?” “Can you just ever shut up? Jesus freaking Christ” he groans. “My jet, my voice” I tightly smile. “There it is, the prideful Withmore that everyone knows and love” he says sarcastically, “fucking pathetic”. “What exactly is your issue huh? Why can't you just be civilized and act your goddamn age?!” I scream shout. “Because of you Lorraine!” He shouts back and I become still. “Wh..?” “You annoy me, you sicken me to my stomach. What? you think I'm Matteo, that you can boss around or that'll allow your stupid side comments? You are just…”he groans, “you are the worst thing that has ever happened to me” he stands up

  • Between two hearts    Chapter 10:

    DEXTER: Time finally came for us to head back home and everything I was running away from, for example my father, came rushing in like a horrid wind. I couldn't understand how or what I was supposed to do to make Lorraine leave this marriage. “You don't look too excited to be going home” Lorraine says by my side as we wait in line to be checked at the airport. I take a deep breath in, “Not like you care, stop annoying me Lor, I'm not in the mood”. “Oh husband” she sighs and taps my shoulder, “till death and annoyance do us path. Now smile, they are cameras everywhere” she holds my cold hands and waves at a camera.************* Home still felt empty, quiet, void of emotions and stability and I loved it. I settle into my couch and take a deep breath in and out. I was finally out of the ‘Lorriane air’ and it made me feel somewhat relieved, I did miss her yapping but I was happy she was gone. I take my lazy self and head into the shower. “Lorraineee” I say in a singsong voice.

  • Between two hearts    Chapter 9:

    MATTEO'S POV: “I was just dusting crumbs off her mouth” I say as I step away still looking at her, “she's yours”. She walks towards Dexter and holds his arm, “there's no need to cause a scene, come on let's go” they both walk away but she turns subtly to still look at me and my heart breaks even more.************ I enter my apartment, go straight to my room and plop on the bed out of exhaustion. I grunt and sit up and the fresh memory of Lorraine on Dex’s arm comes back to my memory and anger just fills my heart. I still didn't understand why she would decide to marry him of all people, he is a jackass for God sake! I hear crying in the janitor's closet and I open to see who it was, it was Lorraine. Lorraine Withmore, my uncle's friend's daughter that I have had a crush on since forever, “are..are..you okay?” She sniffles and raises her head and I'm met with her bloodshot eyes, “Go away Matteo”. She knows my name? “I actually can't” I enter and sit beside her, “we can c

    LORRAINE'S POV: One week later….Waking up to the brightest sunlight and wrinkled sheets has now been the best thing ever since we landed in South Africa for our honeymoon. Dexter brought up the bright idea to explore animals overseas as a pass time for our so called ‘honeymoon’, I don't mind, anything to stay away from my blood sucking demon of a mother. I've done nothing but go to different Safari's, tried different African cuisines, bungee jumping, basically done everything I could possibly do on the itinerary. Dexter and I however have avoided each other like a disease, different hotels, different itineraries, different paths all through the last week and I am loving every last bit of it. Sadness however washes over me whenever I remember that I married or I look down on my finger and I see my ring shine back at me or when someone compliments my ring, it always reminds me that I don't have freewill concerning my life, I might have here in South Africa but never in life.
