That dress. It clung like a second skin and the sway of her hips as she walked made it so much more sultrier. I had to stop myself from drooling.

"You two are matching," I said, grinning at her and Arya. The royal blue color was common with their dresses.

"Should have included you in the mix." She said, adjusting my collar.

"It's alright. We don't want to spark any more rumours do we?" I said in a tease.

"Of course not." She chuckled.

We were heading out for a night of fine dining at a popular

  • What's Love Without A Second Chance    82 ~ Olive

    Arya's first day of school had me sobbing like she was leaving the country all by herself. I was so dramatic.Waving her off was one of the hardest things to do. And because she had separation anxiety, leaving to a new place for the first time, her first day was messy. She cried so much, I wanted to change my mind and take her home with me. It took Xander's intervention for me to eventually let her go.As she went in with the minder, I saw her turn back to us every now and then until she was out of sight."She'll be fine baby." Xander reassured me, handing me his handkerchief to wipe my eyes. I covered my eyes with them as I sobbed some more, letting him console me with his gentle arm rubs."She's growing so fast." I said through a cracked voice. It felt surreal that the baby I had in what felt like yesterday just started her first day of school. I did not want to imagine how the next couple of years were going to be."Let's go." He urged me softly.We turned and headed back to the ca

    In between time and space, I felt a sudden sense of warmth engulf me that was way more than the sun conveyed. This warmth was internal. If I had pictured myself here just a couple of months back, it would have seemed abominable. He had me wrapped around his finger again and I loved it. There was no denying it this time, everything had changed. Our lives, our relationship would never be the same again. "Good morning beautiful," I heard his gruff morning voice and almost got turned on again. "Good morning," I yawned. My lips settled into a smile as he planted a warm kiss on my forehead. "I'm hungry." I announced along with my rumbling stomach. "I got you." I sat up and saw that he had gotten me breakfast. "When did you leave this room?" I asked eyeing his bare chest. It did not look like he had left this room even once. "I had them bring it up." "Oh. No wonder." Savoring the meal, my eyes strayed to him every now and then as I got flashbacks from the night before. Surely

    It was New Year's eve. The house was bustling with excitement. The bits of tension left over from the conflicts that occurred within the past week, seemed to have been forgotten. As usual, Xander and I sat by the balcony enjoying each other's company as the night breeze blew over our faces, cooling our temperatures."Sometimes I find it hard to forgive myself for how much I wronged you." He said, breaking the comfortable silence we were enjoying just moments before. His statement was jarring and absolutely unexpected.My emotions were a mix of shock and worry when I questioned him. "Xander, why would you say that?"His eyes dimmed with regret. "I missed out on major milestones. Arya's birth, her growth process, her first steps, her first words, everything. And sometimes I hate myself it. I wish I was there,"I rubbed on my temples, not sure if I wanted this conversation to get this intense. "Xander let's just forget about that. What matters now is that we've gotten the closure we d

    "Well?" Nonna asked me as I entered her room for our usual daily talks."We're close." I said with a triumphant smile."Excellent!" She exclaimed gleefully, clapping her hands like Arya would do whenever she was excited about something. For this particular reason, I saw a semblance between my daughter and grandmother. I grinned even wider at the thought."You've put in a lot of work and I am proud of you. Now all you have to do is make sure she's in love enough to agree to marry you." Nonna said, reminding me of the final goal."Yes nonna,""We do not want her turning you down like she did that ex boyfriend of hers." She added thoughtfully.I swallowed, "Definitely not."I could not imagine her saying no to marrying me. It would shatter my heart but then again it was Olive, anything was possible with her so I could not rely solely on the signals she had been giving me of recent. I wanted this to work out so badly, I would grovel hard for her to agree to be mine again. But then I did n

    "Olive?" I heard him knock on the door rapidly. I buried my face in my pillow, wanting to shut him out. I could not because if he kept banging on the door like that, Arya would wake up from her nap and I did not want that right now.I got up and opened the door. "Baby, I'm so sorry," He pulled me into his arms and that was when I could finally let out all the pent up emotions I had locked in because I did not want my daughter to see me cry. "I don't think it was a good idea to come here." I said in between sobs.He hushed me gently, "Shh. Don't say that. This has been the best vacation so far, I'm sorry my messed up family had to ruin it."I hiccupped as I held myself from saying how I truly felt. Maybe if we did not get a divorce, all these would have been avoided or maybe if I just turned down his advances and accepted Malik's proposal, there would be no need for all of this."Forgive me," he said, bringing me back to reality. "It's okay. This isn't your fault." I said as usual.

    Xander and I were out shopping. Even when I had told him I did not need any new stuff, he still insisted and with the help of nonna, he was able to force me out of the house.As expected, he took me to a luxurious boutique despite my insistence that there was no need for any of that. I in fact just wanted to buy a few things for Arya but he insisted on getting me stuff as well.I picked up a fancy pair of shoes and he offered to help me buckle them as I sat down to try them on.I don't know if I was ovulating or something but something about the way he touched me made me want him so bad. I gasped slightly as his hands trailed to my thigh as he tried to get up.I swallowed and looked away, picking up my phone to distract myself from the sexual tension and also to check the app I used in tracking my cycle. "You like it?" He asked."Ye..yes..." I stuttered slightly and looked away again."Everything alright down there?""Huh?!" I immediately got apprehensive. What the heck was he talkin
