Chapter 36
" 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

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.

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-"

I just need help.My prayers are answered when I hear a knock on our room door.The knocks keep on coming until there's silence, and my hope starts to diminish. ' No, no,please come back.'

We said we'd be there but only one will attend and that's Keith. I can't go, more like Keith won't let me go, he is still convinced that a few more days of bed rest will do me some good.I'd already told him that I'm fine and am capable of being on my feet for a couple of hours, but still, he had put his foot down and said to stay behind. Nothing seemed to convince him and now here I am, sitting on this bed, watching his every move, feeling bad for not accompanying him." I'll be back in an hours time."He tells me." Why?" "Because." He turns around to face me. " I want to spend the rest of my night with you, instead of dining with boring people."

I stand at the top of the stairs, waiting patiently for him, as he makes his way over to me. His eyes aren't anywhere else but on me. People part like the red sea, giving way for him, their curiosity getting the better of them, as they steal glances my way. As he ascends up the stairs, my eyes droop low, nerves bubbling at the bottom of my stomach, expecting just about anything. I feel him close, his cologne filling my nostrils just when his shiny shoes come into view.My chin is tilted up and my eyes meet his, there's no anger in them but some kind of indescribable emotion, swirling in them. He's not saying anything but just staring at me, his eyes taking my whole face in as if he's seeing something new."You're breathtaking." He breathes out.My heart skips a beat at his words, a blush warming my cheeks.I can't even look at him, that's why my eyes avert elsewhere, making the mistake

I watched as he got down on one knee, pulling out a small velvet box, opening it to reveal a beautiful ring.I gasped once again, covering my mouth and my eyes widening.Oh my God." Keith." I breathed out behind my hand, not knowing what to say or do.My knees felt weak and my stomach was swirling with butterflies."
