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

    DEXTER: “You're awfully quiet” I lay by Lorraine's side as she stares intensely at her laptop.She chuckles, “well, unlike you I have to actually make sure all our plans for the gala go as planned” “Aren't we done with that?” I sit up. “We are but my OCD wouldn't allow me to relax and it's killing me” she smirks, “but I just…” she sighs, “..I just need to make sure everything's going according to plan you know” she smiles softly. I kiss her softly, her breath uneven, “it's going to go alright okay?” I smirk and she stands up from the bed clearing her throat. “Thanks” she says softly. “Are you sure you're okay? You've been…distant for the last three days and…” I laugh softly, “it's scaring me” “I'm…I'm fine” she forces a smile and heads to the door but stops in her tracks, “do you think I cause people pain?” I stand up and walk slowly to her, “I don't…I don't understand”She nods her head waving the question off, “it's..nevermind” she turns to the door. I stop her, dragging h

    MATTEO: “Brown or black?” I hold up two ties. “Black, you can never go wrong with black” Ava smiles as she continues staring at her laptop.I drop ties and hug her, earning a little laugh from her, “wanna tell me what's gotten you so worked up?” “Work, got so many paper work to fill out concerning the expansion I'm planning” “You're planning an expansion?”She turns to me and kisses me, “yep” “When…wait, when did this happen?” “A few weeks ago, a colleague of mine came up with the idea and it's been stuck in my head ever since” she smirks, “I have the funding, I just need to acquire more land and need some signatures from the government” “Oh wow” I smile and sip my coffee, “that's..that's really nice. I..I can help, my mum knowns a bunch of people in the government I'm sure she'd be happy to help” She clears her throat and closes her laptop, “I..I can handle it myself Matteo, I don't…” “Hey, hey no. I am not going to allow you do this by yourself, I can help and I'm not tak

    LORRAINE: My breath caught up in my throat, his hands moved around my body easily, like he knew every inch of my body, both our eyes shut our mouths moving in sweet harmony. He carried me, placing me on the table, my gown riding up revealing my bare legs. He pauses and takes a deep breath in, resting his head on mine, his eyes still shut and suddenly the wave of regret fell on me like Ice. “Why do things have to be so difficult with you?” he finally says, his eyes glued to mine. “Isn't that what makes us, us?” I chuckle sadly, “I'm sorry Dex..” I lift his chin up, smiling a little, “if it makes you feel better, I finally accept that I am terrible at Spanish” I smirk.He laughs heartily, “I know” he stands up straight and folds his arms.I stand up from the table, adjusting my gown. I pack my files and my bag up, “I'll see you around then” I smile softly, walking past him but he holds my hand stopping me in my tracks. He takes a deep breath in, “fine we'll…we'll go check out the h

    DEXTER: “You look like a mess” the bright light blinded me and I groan. I turn and fall on the floor, my back stinging with pain, I look up and see Matteo all dressed up with a hint of disgust on his face. “Why are you here?” I fall back into my bed. “Your dad said to pick you up, you haven't been answering your phone all week,” he looks around, “your house is in an absolute mess” “Jes…can't I have peace to myself anymore? I'm on a break my father knows this” I groan and cover myself with my comforter, “tell him that when you see him” “Yea I'm not about to get in trouble with my Uncle because of you, get your ass up Dex. You have ten minutes or I'm dragging your ass to the office myself” “Wait…office?” “I don't know Dexter, he said something about a juice line invest….” “Fuck!” I grab my phone, scrolling past all the missed calls and messages, most from Lorriane, I go to my calendar, “shit shit shit!” I rush up. “Ten minutes” he scoffs and leaves my room.************I hav

    MATTEO: I stare at my screen, Lorraine’s name bodily written, my heart beating really fast. I groan and switch off my phone, I wasn't going to fall back into her arms…I couldn't. I turn and see my unfinished painting, I stare at it, my mind flickers to the day I first met her. *FLASHBACK*“Give that back to me Dex..” I hear a female voice outside my door, I stand up and peek through the key hole, I see a shadow pass. I open my door slightly and like a rush of wind, Dexter and the girl run past me down the stairs, slowly I follow them behind captivated by her. “You act like a boy..” Dexter holds up the toy car, “..this is a boy's toy” “At least I act like a boy, you on the other hand would never know what that feels like…chicken!” he gasps and she lunges at him, both of them falling to the ground.I rush to their side but my uncle beats me to it, “would you two please act your age? You're no longer kids…” “Technically they are..” my aunt says smiling, “let them settle their dif

    (SPECIAL POV)AVA: He looked peaceful, too peaceful when he sleeps. His breathing was calmer, eyes were shut tight, his hands wrapped tightly round my waist…a smile creeps onto my face. I lay on his chest, sucking in the moment, tracing invisible circles on his torso, his tatoo…I never want this moment to end. “I can literally feel you smiling Ava..” I hear his deep sleepy voice.I giggle, “what? I'm not allowed to smile?” I sit up and look at him, “good morning..”He removes my hair from my face, “morning” he smirks, “how long have you been up?” “Just a while, I didn't want to wake you” He sits up and kisses me, deep, slow, “you should have. Come on, I'll cook” he stands up and puts on his clothes. “I'm right behind you” I smile and blow a kiss, he catches it, laughs and leaves and I fall on my bed…giggling and laughing to myself, my phone rings and I see Lorriane's name on the screen, my smile disappears.I clear my throat, “heyy”She sniffles, “Ava…”I sit up hurriedly, “are
