"You chose to leave."
"I know." He says in answer.
"I tried to make it work. I tried to make you understand." I say feeling myself getting angry. I loved him, I wanted to be with him. It was hard to let him go. He made the choice for me, there was no way I would leave my mother alone.
"I'm sorry." He says sounding so deflated.
"Your sorry is a little too late. It won't do anything for me right now." I say trying to make him understand how unnecessary this conversation is. "There was a time when I needed it. A time when I felt worthless." I say looking him in the eyes to make sure he hears me and processes what I am telling him.
"But I healed by myself. I pulled myself out of all the hurt, doubt and fear." I add and he sucks his teeth.
"I have to admit it hurts hearing you say that." He says his voice low. "I know I fucked up but hearing you say it makes it even harder." He adds and I stare at him not sure what to say.
It's early evening when I walk into our bedroom. Shalom is lying in bed looking gorgeous. It still blows my mind that I come home to this woman. I am in awe of her beauty every single day."How was your day?" I ask walking to her side of the bed. I kiss her on her forehead and take a moment to look at her. Her eyes have this sparkle about them. I recognize the look in her eyes because I have the same look when I look at her. "It was interesting." She says kissing me on the lips. She places her hand on my cheek and brushes it slowly."How so?" I ask moving to sit next to her."I ran into Thomas at the spa." She says and I feel the air leave my lungs in a woosh. That's not the answer I was looking for. I expected her to say that she had the best time of her life and she wants to make this a regular thing. I didn't expect exes to come into the picture."You had a massage together?" I ask and hear the tone of my voice the
I watch the sunrise and smile. I reach out to the sideandmy hand touches Kane's bare skin. He'sfullynaked, lying on his back and his entire body on display. I raise my head so I can see his cock between his legs."You like what you see?" He askscatchingme in the act. I groansadI don't have longer tojustlook at him. I love looking at every inch of him each morning. He's a beautiful man with
Hey, I know it's been a while since we talked but can we meet up?- Olive Is the text she sent me a week a and here I am sitting in a cafe waiting for her to arrive. A part of me doesn't want to be here but I couldn't ignore her. And Shalom said I should come here and hear her out. The last time we saw each other she didn't have the best things to say about me. But to be fair I dropped a huge bomb on her. I called off our engagement and told her I was getting back together with my ex. And let's not forget the fact that I got said ex-pregnant while our thing was still up in the air. So yeah maybe the reason I don't want to see her is because I know I fucked up with her and I don't want to face the truth. "Hi," Olive says walking up to the table. I get up to greet her. We hug for a second she gives me a kiss on the cheek. When we let go I pull the chair out for her and she sits down as I softly push the chair in.&nbs
"Are you going to lie to me?" She asks when I hesitate to."Ican't" I say honestly and she sucks in her teeth."Seeing you love her makes me hate her so much." She says giving me her dose of honesty. "I know it's not her fault but I hate her." She adds and I move uncomfortably in my chair."It's my fault. She doesn't deserve the hate." I say and she rolls her eyes at me. "I'm the one that broke promises I made toyou." I say and she stares at me. Then she smiles."I loved you." She says blinking at me a few times. "I still love you." She says and my heart s
"I came to tell you that I moved to Joburg." She says and I stare at her confused. Why did she do that? She loves being in Cape Town, I didn't think she would move fo far from her parents. Especially when she hasn't been back home that long. "Idin'twant it to be weird when we run into each other at the hospital." She says and I nod.I don't think it would have been weird but I get why she wanted to give me a warning. She didn't want to come to work unprepared."What did your mother say about you moving this side?" I ask and she smiles a little."She hates it." She says and I nod already imagining the conversation they had. "She thinks I'm doing this because I want to convince you to tak
"I think I'm done with meetingexes." I say as I walk into our bedroom. Shalom is lying in bed lookinga sobeautiful."I take it the meeting didn't go well." She says and I shake my head in answer."She hatesme." I say and she makes aface likeinreaction."I'm sorry." She says and I sigh. I feel drained and guilty.
"Shalom it's so good to seeyou." Farrow says when I walk in through her front door. She smiles and we hug"It's good to see youtoo." I say when we break the hug,"Is this one taking care of you?" She asks hugging Kane as they greet each other."He doesalright." I say smiling at Jay as he comes to the door to welcome us."Just alright?" He Jay asks hugging Kane too. "You need to do better brother." He adds and Kane laughs.
You need to come back now.Farrow said as soon as I answered the phone. My heart jumped into my throat because the first thing I thought was that something very terrible happened to Shalom. I had all types ofsceneriosgoing on in my head.What's wrong?Iwaskedtrying to remain as calm as possible. I can't let my emotions make me lose my cool. I needed to listen to her and absorb whatever she had to tell me. She needs me to be calm as well.Olive is here and I don't think she came in peace.
