68: The best blessing of all times
"We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection."
Brené Brown.We make our way back into the bedroom after cleaning up in the bathroom, I am still in Rogue's bedroom so my clothes are not in the wardrobe as they are in my room. I am wrapped in the white bathroom towel the same way Rogue is and I wonder what it is I can wear or if I should just go to my room and get the clothes.
"You could wear one of mine," he suggested as though reading into my mind and understanding my dilemma.
I grin at him, "What will I wear then? Your boxers and T-shirt?" You know I'm way smaller than you are right?" I ask, raising a brow at him.

"Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves."~Brené brown6:30 p.m.Everyone invited by us is present from Zander down to Cainan and though we have more than a dozen people presents I still feel we are not complete, but not very long after this observation, the door opens and Julian walks in, holding on to the beautiful Maggie and now I am convinced that we are complete.I am in a long golden, Ankara gown with a long sleeve and a parting that starts from the mid-thigh down, so that my lap down to my legs and golden heel is showing which Rogue specifically ordered f

"To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be lovedanyhow—this is a human offering that can borderon miraculous."~Elizabeth Gilbert"Well, that was empowering," Rogue says quickly before drawing in a breath as if he'd been holding it in for a while now. "She seems like a good person."I look down at him, "She really is, she's one of the people I'm glad I have beside me.""We still have many people to meet and thank heavens that this is a two hours' event, we now only have thirty more minutes left." He says as we make our way to the next guest present.Twenty minutes laterI don't remove my eyes from Zander as he continues to gawk at Maggie who is clinging on to Julian's arm for the last five minutes and already seen enough of his newfound behaviour of lusting after Maggie even when she's with Julian, I make my way toward

"Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare."~Brené Brown"I think we should say our 'thank you' so these people can leave. I am already exhausted," laments Rogue bitterly and I wonder how he got here so fast as well as wonder how long I've been staring into space.I smile and turn to see him wearing a long look on his face and I press my lips together, trying desperately to suppress my laughter. He shoots a glare at me and I know he would have wiped the smile off my face if he could."That smile won't be on your face when I'm eating you out later." He grinds his threat out in menace.My cheeks heat up at his words, and weakening shivers run down my spine as my

"Marriage is meant to keep people together, not just when things are good, but particularly when they are not. That's why we take marriage vows, not wishes."~Ngina OtiendeZanderI feel incredibly nervous as I get down from the car and make my way to the front of the house that used to be mine and Havana's home and I wonder how the hell I got to this point.If anyone had told me six months ago when we were getting married that we would be having this much trouble during the first few months of our marriage, I'd probably laugh and call the bluff, but here we are separated with no guarantee of ever getting back together. Such a sad turn of events.It doesn't take long to figure it out though, I become someone else and I could argue it out with everyone else but I can't argue with myself about the truth. I turned into someone who I wasn't and it cost me, my wife, the woman I always saw forever with and now I'm a

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."~Maya AngelouThree weeks later"I don't remember asking for your permissions to push this forward!" I snap at Luka, one of my board members who opposed me during the meeting. I toss my documents onto my desk before turning to her.It started as a friendly opposition of my Christmas giveaway project at first and I thought she would move on but she keeps her mouth and instead of encouraging the other board members, she ended up causing even more division. According to her, we shouldn't push too much into the project if I was going to be in charge of it. In her words, being a mother was a great disadvantage to the project.I tried to explain to them that the project wasn't about us gaining from
His Dark Desires 74: Not on my watch
"Every day and night, my mind is filled with thoughts of you. As long as the sun continues to shine, you can be sure that my heart will remain yours." ~AnonymousA week laterI lie in bed staring at the ceiling and I subconsciously know that a few hours have gone by since I've been stuck in this position, but still being unable to move. I am in my room, I have been staying here since Rogue woke up because I didn't want things being too much for each other. Rogue is having a hard time adjusting to the wheelchair and sometimes he gets offended when I tell him he will get better.Lare increased his physical therapy hours from one hour to two after he noticed that he could take it weeks ago and there was a massive improvement, and now with his memory back, they continue with two hours.I stop trying to talking to him because I didn't want to aggrava
His Dark Desires 75: My responsibility
"If you ever get a second chance in life for something, you’ve got to go all the way.~Lance Armstrong“I hate myself for saying this, but I prefer him when he didn't have his memory. He was happier even though he didn't know much about himself and even though he was trapped in a wheelchair and woke up surrounded by people he didn't know. Maybe it's because I got used to him being happy and grateful for life, but with his memory back, he just pushes me away.He's only responsive with Kemi and a part of me feels jealous of the fact that she can reach him in a way that I might never be able to.I miss those days he'd be beside me holding my hand after a rough day or when he'd say a few stupid things just so I could smile. I miss him, his bright smile, his happy face and the way he held onto me. I miss his delicate touch on my skin, I miss the way he always said Alex and

"I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be."~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations. As though reading my mind and its scepticism, he says, "I have been having a hard time sleeping on my own since you moved out of the bedroom and that was even before my memory came back. I know it was all my idea that you move, but I regretted it immediately and didn't know how to take it all back. I'm sorry, please can I stay?"He needs me and even though I've warned myself to not get too attached after what he did because I'd only get hurt, I step away from the door and let him in. He pushes his wheelchair into the room and towards my bed. Once there, he quickly helps himself onto the bed before arranging himself and laying down. He's having a hang of this, just like he was doing before he got h
