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. Tod

  • 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

  • Between two hearts    Chapter 7:

    DEXTER'S POV: I had said so many ‘thank you’s’ and ‘welcome’ that every other word in my vocabulary had vanished but that wasn't the only cause, the kiss.Why I pulled her back to kiss her, I didn't know. My mind had gone blank and was on factory reset mode when she just peeked me so everything I was doing was all new to me but it all steamed from her looking at Matteo like he was her husband. How dare she? On our fucking wedding day? She couldn't even pretend, she just kept staring at him and her face was turning pink, I was so close to punching the living daylight out of him. Seeing her in that dress also contributed to the kiss. Lorraine is a very attractive woman, she had the curves of a goddess, eyes of a siren, voice as quiet as peace but the attitude of a serpent…so my hate is still valid. I went outside to drink out of my whiskey bottle because I needed to breathe outside Lorraine sphere. “Drinking on your wedding day is absolutely unbelievable” my father says as he st

  • Between two hearts    Chapter 6:

    LORRAINE'S POV: My golden haired boy, my safe space, my Venus and my haven….Matteo. Ever since we were kids he has always fascinated me, from the way he viewed the world to his platinum white hair and brighty coloured grey eyes, he was always did do something to me, things I has never been able to leave my mind. My body still replayed his hug on my skin, his voice, my memory kept on recalling his scent in my olfactory lobe and it made my mind lose its actual thoughts. “It's your wedding Lorraine, the least you can do is smile you know..God!” My mum complains as she walks into my room. Despite the fact that mentally I wasn't here, it is however my wedding day, I've been up since 5am, taken so many pictures that I'm sure I have lost my smile, missed my normal routine for what? a sham of a wedding. “If you want me to smile, call of the wedding mother” I look her dead in the eye through the mirror. The makeup artist, my designer and Ava all turned in shock to me. “Everyone, l

    DEXTER'S POV: After what felt like hours, I finally arrived at my father's house and seeing my Aunt's car just made me understand, Matteo is here.The entirety of Matteo's existence I hated, he was the perfect person, everyone's sunshine boy and it made my father give me unimaginable heights to reach. Anything and everything I did was always compared to Matteo and it made me extremely sick to my stomach where my hate grew from. From the doorstep I could hear laughs coming from the yard so I head into the yard and see Aunty Gi and my annoying father having a sibling moment. “Aunty Gi” I say as I hug her, “father” I give him a curt nod. “Look at you Dex, you've changed a lot” she smiles as she touches my shoulder. “Lots of work out Aunty” I give her a tight smile. “It is paying off,” she laughs again, “your cousin is in the garden. Be nice” she warns. “I'll try”. The garden always reminded me of my mother. She adores flowers and anything floral, most of our home decoratio

  • Between two hearts    Chapter 4:

    MATTEO'S POV: 10 years ago….. “Photography? That sure is far from the family's business” Lorraine laughs as we eat lunch together in the janitor’s closet. It's always been like this with her, I didn't complain, I needed Lorraine more than anything and if that meant sneaking around school, I would. “I know, if my uncle ever found out he'll have my head” I laugh. “Same” she laughs back but it dies down almost immediately and her bright face is replaced with a sad look, “when are you leaving?” “Three days, mum already got the tickets, but I'll be back, it's a six month program and then I'll be a professional and we can run away together just like we've always talked about” I hold her hand to reassure her but she removes her hand and hugs herself. “Matteo, I…I don't know about running away anymore. We are no longer kids you know, I'll be eighteen in a few weeks and…and I'll need to join my family's company. I don't have the free will like you do” she sniffles as she continue
