Two years later...
Louise's POV
"Mom...she loves you, you're going to be great and dad will be home in a couple of hours. I need to do this for Allen, it's his birthday and I wanted to tell him about the other news." I winked at her, making her face brighten up knowingly.
"Just call Cherise if you're having any issues. She loves Hannah, and that kid would stop crying every time she sings to her. She's like the Hannah whisperer. Not like she would give you any trouble, but just in case." I hugged my mom goodbye, then kissed my little sleeping beauty.
Hannah was still napping in her crib, she has her own room at both of her grandparents. She was a spoiled little princess, and a darling to everyone excep
"Come on dude, we should celebrate and you should forget about that fancy debutante of yours. You know I smell trouble the first time mom tried to introduce you to her. She looked too happy." My younger brother Winston kept on nagging me, to come to Players tonight. I was actually looking forward to relaxing and drown myself in pity. "Okay...Winnie, but just for a couple of hours okay? I got to go to the beach house tomorrow and air out the house. I need to start my training for my next championship." I said as I start getting my fresh shirt from the walk-in closet. "Man...you work too hard. Being an athlete is hard work. I don't get why you're not retiring already? You got your houses and modeling thing already. Why are you so money hungry bro?"
We were slow dancing to the rave beats for the longest time. Her body was glued to mine and I didn't want to peel myself off of her. "You know that people might think we're crazy slow dancing to this kind of music." "Yeah, we should probably go. You want to get out of here?" she asked smiling sweetly at me. Yeah...obviously anywhere but here... My friends and brother were long gone with her friends and both of our rides. The cool night air greeted us when we reached outside the club. She was still putting on her coat. "Ms. Dixon, please allow me...Mr. Shane Gregory our owner, would like to provide you with our complim
We arrived at the beach house just before dawn. I told Sam to get back to the city and rest."I won't be needing you here Sam, but I think mom needs to check on the Vineyard Villa for her charity thing, so she would probably ask for you.""Very well." He said as a goodbye speech for me.Thinking I could never change his behaviour, so I just let him be. He had been working for me, for almost a year now. Myra was the one that suggested the idea, she was all about the socialite lifestyle. Sam was actually the only good thing that comes out of my failed relationship with her.I took my bag inside, and leave everything on the kitchen floor and headed to the master bedroom. Stripping off my clothes, I sighed when my naked back touched the c
Louise's POVIt had been almost a week since he texted me, and I couldn't bring myself to reply to him. That night was really unexpected for me, I was truly afraid that I had open myself too much. But his demeanour was really easy going, and he didn't leave when there was no sex on the table. Instead he stayed and we talk and kiss until dawn.The model scares me."Louise? are you with us?" Jeff Rowland, one of our board member was calling me out of my thought."Yes, sorry I was thinking that we should hold a charity event. Obviously we need The Technet to raise from the ashes. We'll call it the Phoenix project, or charity. I'm still not sure...what do you think?...."
My alarm woke me up at five the next morning. I should've slept earlier but I couldn't resist myself when I saw her text.After almost one week, Goddamn. I start my day with a short morning run, before my photo shoot for the new ad campaign my agent booked me with weeks ago."Allen, you are one good looking stud. I don't know how you keep women away from you." Clara, my trustee manager cheerfully said when she arrived at the scene."Francois darling, do make his bum visible. We want to sell these swim briefs to women and men who would appreciate his beauty."I laughed to her comments. She would have me do this skimpy shoots couple of times a year nearing my championship dat
"Where's Cherise?" I asked, when I find her alone waiting for me while drinking her coffee."She thinks she's being cheeky by playing matchmaker and let me spend some alone time with you." She said getting up, and taking her purse with her.I saw the table was clean, her laptop was gone. The black settlement tray was also visible, she had been waiting for me for awhile."Sorry to keep you waiting." I took her hand to the crook of my arm."Mm..hm..I'm sure you will repay me in other ways."She was making me laugh again, and we haven't even take a single step forward."Okay, so...we have cinema, bookstore, vintage shops, cake shop, sea shore, and my place. Wh
Louise's POVI woke up to an empty bed. My brain was slowly remembering about why he had to leave me before, something about his neighbour.Picking up my phone, I saw the miscalls and finally his text message.Lou, I'm still at the hospital. One of my oldest friend got a heart attack, I'm supporting his wife. She's still in shock. (Allen)Then another text.Hey, so he's in surgery. Still here for his wife. Just make yourself comfortable. Stay the night. (Allen)That was over an hour ago. Wow...he really exhaust me. But I need to get back home and have a spa day with the girls tomorr
The next day I woke up smelling her on my pillow. Her last text should be an indication, I should feel relieved reading within the fine lines.It was sexy, stating that only. No commitment, nothing more. No future meet.But my hands were itching to reply to her text and last night I finally texted her again, after several corrections and hit send to get it over with.I cursed myself for being such a needy man. Fuck! I should really move on with my life. Alice was at the hospital, I was going to visit them again and make sure she rests. Though I didn't think she would want to go home, luckily I managed to flirt my way to one of the nurses to speed up the process in providing them with the VIP room last night.
