Chapter 31
The air is tense and neither one of us has spoken a word. I believe we are all waiting for someone to speak up first. Right when Elena showed up at our doorstep, not another word was spoken apart from me letting her in and offering her something to drink.
I try move off Keith's lap but his arms around my waist tighten, preventing me from doing anything.
"Did you see the news?" Keith finally speaks up for the first time and I sigh in relief.
" Yes I did and I apologise for causing such a big scandal. I had a little too much to drink and I guess, I kinda acted out." She says sheepishly.
Keith's phone rings.
" Salvatore." He answers in a business tone.
I glance at him, watching his brows scrunch together in concentration. He's so damn handsome that I want to just kiss him right now.
Sensing me staring, his eyes meet mine and his lips twitch into a small

" Give her the baby." He says.I don't answer nor make a move to give Riley the baby." I said, give her the baby." He repeats, pressing the gun harder against my back." Give me the baby Mrs Salvatore." Riley says, holding up her arms as she takes a step closer, only stopping when I narrow my eyes at her." Oh shit, so you're the lady of the house, even better." I can almost hear him grinning proudly but I choose to ignore him, my eyes trained on her while I pull Bella close to my chest." Do you really think I would give her over to you, with a gun in hand?" I question her." I'm the mother, I have right over my child."She says, her eyes wide and nervous." I don't deny that, but do you look like one right now?" I arch my brow at her." Okay enough, enough - just give her the fucking baby and let's get down to business shall we?"

The month long process is almost over and only a few more days are left, I notice. Things have changed between Keith and I, but will they change on paper?Gosh, what am I thinking?I'm letting doubt creep into my mind and the next thing I know is, I'll start questioning the time I've spent with him here. No, I can't be thinking like this." Hey, you're finally awake." I'm pulled close, receiving a kiss to the temple.I close my eyes to the feel of his lips on my skin. This is what I need, being in his presence and being in his arms.' Am I saying this now because I'm in his arms?' My conscious asks.Oh my word, what is going on with me this morning?" Are you okay?" I'm knocked out of my thoughts and look up at Keith, who's eyes show concern." I'm okay, when are we leaving?"" In two hou

It's been a few days since I last saw him.I want to run up to him and give him a big hug because I did miss him, Theresa and James, but I know that things are still a bit awkward, with everything that happened.To add to that awkwardness, Keith is here and he wouldn't be too happy about me talking to London as of yet. All I need to do is talk to him and let him know that I intend on talking to London, because at the end of the day, he's my friend.My friend. The last time we spoke, he'd told me that he'd had feelings for me. I just hope that once we talk, we can clear the air and look at the way forward. I hope our friendship won't be ruined because of misunderstandings.I'm pulled back whilst my eyes are still on London. I want to say something but can't find the words." Come on." Keith says, leading me to the building, tugging me under his arm, my suitcase in his other hand.I t

It's always so good to have time alone with friends, especially friends like mine. Theresa hasn't stopped asking questions about my time in Aspen, wanting to check up on me the minute she heard I was back. She literally had James leave whatever he was doing and come over with snacks and stuff. London must have told Theresa about my arrival. Speaking of London, he hasn't spoken a word since he came by, only ever looking at me. I could only manage a small smile because I didn't know how to start the conversation, it was quite awkward and I hated it so much." Kea you didn't miss me did you?" Theresa speaks up."Ofcourse I did. Why would you think that?" I say frowning." Well how could you forget to bring me a little something, you were in Aspen for crying out loud." She huffs, folding her arms." I know, I'm sorry. It's just that things got a little um complicated over there, forcing me

" Keith." I breathe out, grabbing both their attention.There's tension in the air, I don't know what both men are thinking, it's unnerving. London is tense beside me and I don't have to guess about Keith. I just wish there was something I could do to get them talking.Conflict, yelling and violence doesn't sit well with me, I don't like it. Maybe I should make the first move.Yes, I should.Taking a breath, I prepare to speak when Keith starts towards us and I meet him halfway, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest.We didn't leave things on a good note in the morning and I did miss him.His hold on me tightens, just as he kisses the top of my head." Introduce me to your friend angel." I lean back, looking up at him in confusion."Your friend Angel." He repeats, gesturing to London, who stands leaned aga

It's the first time I've ever been to his workplace, I'm beyond nervous even if none know about me. I'm married to the CEO of Salvatore Enterprises, yet I feel like I'll be intruding with his work, this part of his life.I'm also nervous to see him, he sounded upset over the phone and I don't know how his mood will be, when I see him.I just hope he has calmed down now and I will ask him to explain to me, as to what made him say my life is threatened over the phone. I haven't really thought about my life being under threat, just that the whole Jason thing was a plan from someone who might have been desperate for money. I could never be too sure about anything because what Riley and I talked about, was based on mere thought and little bit of suspicion, nothing major.Maybe it's just Keith being his over protective and concerned self." We're here." James says, parking right infront of the tallest buildin

An older version of Keith stands before the both of us. He's aged well, not looking any different from the first and last time I met him, that was at my wedding.Tall, broad shouldered with blue eyes, he has a demanding and powerful presence, just like his son. Vincent Salvatore is his name, a retired businessman. He's a wealthy man with him renting out his boats and properties, keeping busy and being healthy and enjoying life.After Keith's mom passed on, Keith prettymuch distanced himself from his whole family, especially his father, who was dealing with his own grief. It's just so sad to know that the two hadn't talked for 2years and as much as years pass, and they try live their lives, they need each other. Keith needs his father, some fatherly guidance as to deal with different situations, especially in our marriage.But because Keith is a stubborn man, it might take a while to convince him
YOU WAITED Chapter 39
Silence had taken over a few minutes ago, whilst we wait for Keith to sort out the journalists outside. He said he would and made it clear that I don't come out.He doesn't want me anywhere in view. So I took it upon myself to keep our guests occupied." I heard about what happened in Aspen, how have you been dear?" Jill asks, sipping her wine." Oh I'm okay," I say." What happened in Aspen?" Vincent asks." Someone broke into our home and held Akiandra at gun point." Elena speaks up." Oh they didn't hurt you, did they?" Vincent asks, concern in his eyes." No, he didn't. Um a lot happened and I'm just glad it's over." I say." We should check on him, I'm going." Elena suddenly says, rising to her feet." I don't think that's such a good idea." I say, making her stop."Time has passed now, I'll just-"
