Aaron
In a split second everything can change.
After leaving Alexis alone to prepare lunch , because Mary was held hostage by her crazy roommate who injured herself . I made the necessary arrangements to bring my sister home and hire in a caregiver to make sure she was stable .
I dropped her off at the pent house and told her I would see her tomorrow. On my way back Lexi called me and I told her I was on the way. I had taken a short cut to get to the Estate because I was worried about David.
He was behaving strangely this morning before he went to hang out with Angelo. Cleo had also called me to ask if everything was okay with both Dave and me. Truth be told we were not okay. He was mad at me because I apparently do not consider his feelings. When I asked him if he missed Alexis he didn't answer me he just went to the games room ,and to top it all off he locked the door so that I couldn
AlexisI am not afraid of dreaming. I am afraid of staying awake and not allowing myself to dream big enough and believe that I can do ,and be anything I want. Even a super shero. I am also not afraid of waking up and dealing with the fact that I have an unfinished life, that I still want to live and make the most out of it…When you are living you constantly ask yourself if you are doing enough? When you are going you ask yourself if you did all you wanted and was it enough. When you’re gone what you never did is done and in between those three steps; your whole life flashes before your eyes.When I rolled down the stairs; I was afraid . I was afraid that I had failed my unborn baby by not keeping him safe, afraid that my relationship with David was never going to be the same , and more than that I was afraid that I had robbed my brother of becoming an uncle and Aaron becoming a father again.
Chapter 51AaronBalance is the most fundamental aspect of life. whether you want to admit it or not every action or event ;evokes some sort of balance. At a point where I thought everything was coming together again, everything started falling apart. I knew my son was angry when he found his mothers pictures in a box of things I kept of Lara. I was going to give it to him on his birthday , but he found it when he was looking for something . The first question he asked was ; why did Alexis have similar features to his mother. I told him ; it was a coincidence. He snapped out of the blue and told me I was lying, he said; you are a sick selfish human being. I sat him down after his rant and I told him everything with regards to what happened when he was five years old. I also told him that I fought hard to get him back , and that I was sorry . We were still on moody terms with each other. He was moody and irritable if not mean to me until the accident happe
PlanesEach day is a gift and not a given right. I often say that to myself, to be thankful for every day and count my blessings. I never expected to be where I am at this very moment in my life. All I can be is thankful. I didn't expect to run into him after what happened, but he saved my life on more than one account we were bound to cross paths again. I don't think I have everything figured out yet and I still don't think I am worthy to have him in my life. In my own opinion he has everything going for him and I'm just starting out.If we end up together, we will be facing a long list of problems. I live in a country that is still healing from the past. It was taboo too cross the color line. Things have changed and it's not taboo anymore. Truth be told it all comes down to fear and more specifically the fear of letting go.You cannot help who your heart falls for .Falling in love is inevitable its life. However I found that ;the most potent kind of love
Chapter 2There are days when you know you wake up in a bed that you know is yours .Waking up in a room that you're unfamiliar with can be somewhat a shock to the system . My body was starting to switch on from being in sleep mode , something felt odd, and by that I mean I wasfeeling way to warm for an autumn morning. I tried to stretch but it felt as if I hit what felt like hard slabs of muscle. I started feeling around and I think I touched something I shouldn't have ; because the source of heat that I was sleeping next to started moving . The first question that popped into my dazed mind was what happened last night, and how the hell did I end up in bed with this guy, and why aren't I safe and sound in the comfort of my own home ...When my eyes fluttered open ; I saw an angelic face in lala land , his lips were slightly parted and oh my word he looked so adorable.Focus Alexis we need to devise an escape plan. I know
chapter 3 AaronIt happened so fast . It happened so fast that I didn't even have time to process what had happened and deal with the heavy blow that I have been dealt with. I'm strong enough to withstand any pain and I would do almost anything to protect my family. On the night I lost Laura my whole world came crashing down around me. It felt like my reason for being happy had been taken away from me... We were on our way back from a family day picnic; both my son and wife were singing along to One Republic's I lived. I was driving us back home and it was raining . Laura was busy on her phone and David was buckled up safely in the car seat. He had my eyes but his mother's face . I had canceled all my meetings for that weekend . This was the third weekend I had spent with them without any interruptions . I realized I had missed out on a lot with my wife and son because my son had asked me; if there are going to be more weekends like the ones we just had . I promised him we would and
Chapter 4AlexisI don't know what it is about hospitals that wear me out to the point of hitting lights out. It's not the horrible food that they give me or the sometimes friendly staff the med's are a given , however my energy takes a dip when I come back home from the hospital. Maybe I didn't protect myself properly energy shielding wise or perhaps I'm too sensitive and with the ocean nearby and a full moon that has already risen I'm twice as sensitive as before. I was just happy to be out of the hospital. Bryan had texted me asking; if I was fine and if I needed more time off to recover from the fall , I told him I was fine and that I wanted to come back to work. He replied with a smiley face and a heart emoji saying; I should get well soon and he can't wait to see me . The office was not the same without me.My body started switching on and I felt better than I did the day before . Aaron's beach house was humungous ,the bed
AaronWhen Bryan told me that he had a new assistant; I laughed at him and asked him if he was planning on keeping her ,and he said yes . when I met Alexis the first time she was too busy to notice me . I had the feeling that she was avoiding me but I was wrong. This morning when I woke up I thought she ran away. Truth be told I don't want to lose her. I want her to feature in my future and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that happens. She is shy . I ran after her after we had a dispute; we ended up kissing and I almost took her right then and there in my vanity room but I was stopped .When we made it downstairs Mary and Bryan were waiting for us and once we took our seats I made sure I sat next to Alexis . Bryan was way too touchy feely , with good reason we almost lost a girl we both care about Mary was still giving off iffy vibes which unsettled me." Mary meet Lexi ."Alexis waved and Mary just cut her eyes at her and gave her a snarky
AlexisI seriously don't know what it is about Aaron; even when I push him away he keeps on coming back I have ran away from him , shut him out , almost made love with him , pushed him back and shut him out again , only for him to come back to me .He really wants to be with me regardless of my stance. Maybe I have nurtured my fear of getting hurt for far too long. I uncrossed my legs and knelt down so that I was facing him."I guess I don't know you that well but; my heart somehow knows you and my gut is telling me to give you a fair shot. "" Thank you Lexi.""For what Aaron?"" Giving me a shot..."" I will try and open up too it's only fair."" Fair enough ."I sat on the couch and Aaron followed but I could see he was uncomfortable" bed?""I like the way you think. "" Hmm . Not what you are thinking . You look uncomfortable ." I am. "I climbed on the b
