บททั้งหมดของ Mess With Love: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Vincent tried his best and failed to chat with Alice before he went away. Every day he was out of sight from her, he could picture Alice getting further away from his grasp. He wished he could have been honest with her in the beginning before he went away, and maybe things would have been different. There was another part of him that didn't want to use his reasons for going away as an excuse, because that would be selfish.He had been a douche mostly to Simon before he left. It took him a while to understand that he had done all those stupid things because he was jealous. Vincent wanted to set things right and talk to Alice mostly today. He was tired of sitting around and waiting for Alice and Simon to break up since they met, but that wasn't happening. Her social media was showing a different story. It was filled with hashtags and goals of how cute of a couple they were. It wasn't pleasant to watch. Vincent had been gone longer than the advised time, and he felt like things were all

Alice wheeled her suitcase from the airport and looked around, looking for her best friend. She pulled her cell from her bag and was about to call Megan when she heard a shriek. A familiar scream that was loud and made people turn their heads. Alice smiled and screamed, leaving her suitcase, and ran to Megan."You are finally here," Megan jumped."Yes," Alice added, hugging her."I missed you." Megan hugged her tighter."Can't breathe Meg," Alice groaned."Good. Serves you right for being away from home for so long." Megan finally let go and Alice sighed and smiled at her."I'm back, aren't I?" Alice tucked her hair behind her ears."And I'm happy. Come on, let's go." Megan squealed and clapped her hands as Alice walked to get her suitcase.Alice and Megan walked out of the airport and made their way to Megan's apartment. Alice was a week early to surprise her family. Riley was getting married in two weeks. Her family thought Alice was only going to come two days before the wedding."

Alice ran back to grab her purse and car keys. She tried to school her emotions until she left. Alice had dabbed her eyes and plastered a smile and walked in. Before excusing herself, she whispered something to her friend Megan."Are you leaving?" Vincent asked, staring at her.Alice nodded without looking at him because she couldn't face the man she hurt. Katy had been right because she was seeing him differently. His eyes looked hopeful. His mouth was desperate to speak of what was truly hidden in his heart."I have to go." Alice looked away and walked.She didn't have the energy to say her goodbyes to everyone and have all eyes on her. Alice ran past Katy without looking at her. Afraid, she ran to her car. She prayed no one would follow her. She shook, and she opened her door. "Okay breathe," Alice sniffed and closed her eyes and counted from ten to zero."Alice," she opened her eyes and spun around."What happened? Why are you leaving?""I'm feeling sick. I think I need to go lie

It wasn’t Simon’s intention to overhear Alice’s conversation. He wanted to give her all the privacy, but the door hadn’t closed properly, as Alice thought. His discreet attempt to close the door made him hear everything. Now Simon was sitting on the floor, his head leaning to the wall next to the office door, listening to Alice crying.She had been in there for a while crying, and Simon didn’t want to make things worse. He let her cry alone when he wanted to barge in and carry her to his bedroom, run a bath for her, and hold her. He wanted to dry her tears, but this wasn’t his business. Simon didn’t want to be a hero. His phone vibrating in his hand made him come off his reverie. He pushed himself up and walked to the window.“Miss Megan has arrived. Should I tell her to wait somewhere?”“Send her up.” Simon replied and hung up.He walked past the office where Alice was still crying and went to the entrance. He waited by the elevator. The bank opened and Megan stepped out, taking Simo

Vincent was dying to have a dance with Alice. He couldn’t get his head straight after he saw her walk into the church. The dress was making him dizzy. The Garnet color was very bold. From behind it might look basic, but when she spins around, Vincent could only swallow hard or reach for his glass. He needed the liquid after catching a glimpse of her. The dress was floor length, long sleeve with a v neck. Her chest was not on display, but her legs were from the one slit in the dress. The gown was a perfect fit for her. The luxe double knit fabric was snuggly giving her body the right amount of display. Not too revealing, but still sexy. The material was stretchy. It was smoothing over her curves with minimal effort. Vincent had seen it when she moved. His eyes had been thorough when he was looking at her. “You are staring again?” Katy whisper-hissed at Vincent. “Have you seen her husband?” Vincent shifted his gaze from Alice and looked around. “I don’t care. You shouldn’t either.”
