Chapter 41
I watch him silently as he puts on his tie, staring at the full body mirror. Tall, handsome and a dream in a black tux, hair stylishly gelled and soft pink bow tie.
Today is the day for Jill Salvatore and Gregory Salvatore's wedding anniversary. 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."

YOU WAITED Chapter 42
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
YOU WAITED Chapter 43
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." Akiandra my Angel, a patient woman you've been, one who never gave up on me even if at times I proved to not deserve you, in the slightest. You are one of a kind my sweet, an Angel sent from above, just for me. We may not have started out the cliche or romantic type of way, but our story is not worth to be defined as such, simple or compared to others. Our story is ours to tell.I've done so many mistakes with you that at often times I wondered how you could still stay with me. You saw something in me, some
YOU WAITED Chapter 44
Keith Salvatore's POV.I've lost her.I've lost the love of my life.How could this happen, how could I lose the one meant for me? It was not so long ago that things were just fine, things beginning for us. I had plans, I wanted a start over so I could do right by her.I wasted time that's for sure and now here I am emotionless, I haven't talked to anyone, haven't left my room ever since that night.My heart clenches thinking about that night, her life giving way in my arms, her hand resting on my chest, telling me that she loved me.I could never get tired of hearing those three words come from her, her eyes, her voice, her heart reached out to me. Whenever she said those words, I felt it, I heard and felt the truth in them. A woman of truth, honesty, innocent to the core and had a heart of gold. She waited, she bloody waited
YOU WAITED Chapter 45
Akiandra's POV.The last I remember is of pain, my life flashing before my eyes and him. Oh God, I said goodbye to him, believing that night was our last. My Keith, he must be so worried, so broken, as I am away from him. Days have passed I believe, since they took me. Every piece of the puzzle was pieced together, the moment she walked into the dungeon I've been held in.Nothing seemed to make sense whilst all I was surrounded by, was darkness. Then she walked in, with a determined, crazed look on her face. She had intention to cause me pain, anger seeped out of her and it was directed towards me.I couldn't understand as to why she'd do this if Keith meant so much to her. Didn't she care about him? I had asked but her obsession with hurting me, seemed greater then the love she claimed to have for him.I had no strength to do much because I was still in a bit of p
YOU WAITED Chapter 46
I've been in and out of consciousness for some time now, I don't know for how long, whether minutes or hours, I don't know.The cold has made me numb, my body feels stuck and I can't move. I've even reached the level of not shivering anymore but staying still. My heart pumping is the only thing telling me that I'm still alive, it's a hard and painful task to breathe, my nose has gone dry and as seconds go on by, it feels worse.I can't think straight and I believe I've reached the level of hallucination, when I think I hear another banging sound. Maybe I've gone crazy now, wanting to believe so much in anyone finding me.The banging sound continues and that's when a tear slips out, because my beating heart tells me, no let me rephrase that, my every frozen being tells me that I've been found.I want to scream and call out, but I can't. It's so frustrating and my closed eyes, feel heavy with threatening tears.
YOU WAITED Chapter 47
The doctor had left us speechless, he left us with a bombshell and neither one of us have spoken, rather take in the information given and be in thought, whilst in silence.Keith now stood at a distance right where the doctor had stood and I, well I'm still seated on the bed. I'm grateful for Keith suggesting I be treated and recover at home, I don't like the hospital, more so I don't trust any medical person at the moment, after what happened.Elena had disguised herself as a nurse and she and her accomplices, took me right under everyone's noses, pretending to be moving rooms.She had a well thought out plan, all with a goal to finally end my life. She hated me, she truly hates me and I, well I cant do anything about that.This spare room used as my recovering room, just gives me the feel of home and makes me more comfortable.I just wish I was relaxed and less tense, having to think about th
YOU WAITED Chapter 48
I've been all smiles for the past few days, right after that day when Keith said we should get married, we have been doing anything but planning. All we ever spent time on was daydreaming of the after, not so much invested on the wedding. We were more then ready for the start of our lives, the start of our story being rewritten.My excitement was beyond words and whenever thoughts of getting married again came to mind, I would either zone out or squeal into dance. I was a woman in love, ready to walk down the aisle and spend the rest of her life with the love of her life. Everything now felt anew, like it was the first time getting married, only this time, things were going to be done the right way.As exciting as everything was, it still felt stressful and overwhelming, I didn't know where to start and right now, I am exhausted from just staring at the many wedding magazines. I didn't know what to do, what to choose and I was beyond frust
YOU WAITED Chapter 49
" You're my aunt?" I ask." Oh my gosh." In long stride, she comes over to me, surprising me with pulling me in for a big hug.I can't move or return the hug, my arms remain hanging on my sides."Oh sorry." She quickly steps back, blushing in embarrassment." It's okay. Um would you like to sit down for a moment?" " Yes of course." She goes back to where she'd been standing, now settling on the couch and I join her.A minute's silence passes with us simply staring at each other. She looks so much like my mom it's creepy. "I don't know what to say. Hi, I'm Akiandra?" I hold out my hand, biting at my lips, not really knowing what to say." Marisa Thompson, your aunt." She shakes my hand, a shy smile on her face." I don't know you, oh I'm sorry. What I mean is, my mother never mentioned you."
