77: The best birthday present
"I just want you to know that you're very special... and the only reason I'm telling you is that I don't know if anyone else ever has." ~Stephen Chbosky,
The Perks of Being a WallflowerTwo months later
As I step into the room, from another hectic day at work and I see the whole family present in the parlour. There's an event taking place and I have no idea what it is and I slow down my mind, not wanting to look like a complete fool and I begin to calculate what today is and where there are so many people here, or is it our wedding? No, that's still a few weeks away and it isn't Rayge's birthday yet neither is it, Rogue... Well, whose celebration?
Oh shit.
"Happy birthday, Alex!!" they all exclaim and I cover my face up, taken back by surprise and my eyes close

"You never fail to amaze me. Every day there is something new that makes me love you even more than the day before."~AnonymousThree weeks laterI moan a little, my consciousness returns with the flicker of the ray of the sun on my face and as my lashes slowly lift, I see Rogue laying next to me and staring at me quietly. There is a small adorable smile that stays on his face as though he's staring at the sunset for a new day. My eyes shutter almost as they meet his and I turn away quickly because the embarrassing feeling of not looking too good for the morning washes over me, I'm not a rough sleeper neither am I a heavy one, but I don't think that I'm the prettiest when I sleep either. So having him watch me while I sleep is creepy in a cute way but really embarrassing."Oh come on," he protests to my action and he takes hold small of my shoulder with h

"Some old wounds never truly heal, and bleed again at the slightest word."~George R.R. Martin"Mama!" Rayge calls out excitedly as he sees me enters his room and he claps his hands cheerfully. His mouth is covered up with cereals and I can see that he's done with his morning food. Luckily for me, Rayge isn't a troublesome baby and his bath, feeding and sleeping times are some of the best times and while I had read articles of first babies being a handful, Rayge is the exact opposite of that. He's calm and quiet and peaceful and I feel blessed.I beam at him and reach into his cradle to take him out into my arms. "I just gave him his breakfast!" Announces Gloria, Rayge nanny as she steps out of the bathroom confirming my earlier suspicion."It's your bathing time!" I squeal with wide eyes at Rayge and he smiles into a loud giggle.Gloria comes over to me t

"I've never had a moment's doubt. I love you. I believe in you completely. You are my dearest one. My reason for life."~Ian McEwan, AtonementThe next week followed with Rogue not going back to the subject of Lorenzo and I hate that my mind kept taking me back there, but I couldn't help it. I didn't know if Rogue thought about what the warden told him a week ago all the while he went to work and attend all those conference meetings, but I did. And I didn't mean to take matters that weren't my concern up but I couldn't stop.If today I get informed that the man that raped me many years ago is now at the point of death I wouldn't stop thinking and wondering what to do or how to act. I would think about it, I will think about everything he did to me and everything I went through because of that very act of wickedness.But Rogue is Rogue and Ale
His Dark Desires 81: For me alone
Two weeks laterArriving at home, I see Rogue's car parked in the parking lot. I glance down at my wristwatch which reads 5:30 p.m. and I know he's already home maybe even earlier than he normally used to, but that is a good thing.Things have been very awkward between us and I believe I played an equal part in it.I did take Kemi's advise and be a lover and a wife and a fighter beside Rogue, but it been two weeks and I don't know how effective that has been.I make my way into the house which is awfully quiet and that is unusual because there is always something going on and I decided to ignore that and make my way upstairs. As I get up the stairs, I head straight for Rayge's room to check up on him, but when I get there, I don't find him in his cradle. I panic the first few seconds that pass then I come to the awareness that Rogue is home and probably with him and I waste no

“There is no doubt that it is around the family and the home that all the greatest virtues… are created, strengthened and maintained.” –~Winston ChurchillWe step out of the shower wrapped in the bathroom towel and wiping the water off our bodies. As my body dries up, I change into my nightgown after applying my body lotion on my skin. I am almost done with that when Rogue begins to speak."I always hated him," he says and I feel a little lost and needing him to explain but in no way trying to speak for him or jump to conclusion in my mind I remain quiet. "I hated him as much as I hated every wicked thing he did to me while I was still with him, I hated him more than anything in life. I did wish I could kill him, but I knew I didn't possess such power or strength in myself and I hated

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross"Why are you up?" The sleepy voice of Alex calls out from across the room and I turn away from looking at the stars to see her scrunched up but beautiful face. "Come back to bed!" She calls out to me, raising her hand but it drops immediately from weakness and she lay back down in bed.I find myself smiling and I make my way over to the bed and I sit down beside her. "Why are you still up?" She asks with her level of concern high. "You can't sleep?" She adds."Yes, I couldn't sleep, gatita, but I'll be fine," I confessed to her and take her hand in mine."You won't be fine, sleep is important and without it,

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."~Steve MaraboliFlashback"I want to go home, I want my mommy! I don't want to be here anymore!" I cried out as Lorenzo got up from beside my bed to put on his clothes. My whole body was dead from what he just did to me and I could barely even move it. I was numb and aching and I could only speak and that was what I did. Tears rolled down my face and go into my ears."I told you before, your mommy left you and she's not coming back because she doesn't want you, no one wants you. Are you happy hearing that?" Lorenzo sneered wickedly."You're lying, you're a liar, you always have been! I don't believe a word you say!" I refused to believe
