" What are you talking about?" Wow I'm not stuttering, this is new." I'm talking about the fact that you and Keith got married just a little over two years in a private ceremony, yet here you are alone, while your husband - ""Please stop." I say, holding up my hand to stop him before walking past him.How does he know all this, it doesn't make any sense. Keith made sure that it was a private ceremony, well with a few staff and all.Wait a minute.I spin around and take a long hard look at London, scrolling my mind for anything. When I do come up with something, my eyes widen a bit in realization of how he got to know all this."You were there." I murmur." I was there." He confirms, nodding.Oh my gosh." I need to sit down." I say, more to myself.Finally taking a seat on the couch, he follows suit next

We wait patiently for this mysterious person to arrive, the same one Keith had mentioned we had a meeting with earlier.We are sitting at a private booth, in a rather expensive looking restaurant. This is quite the first time we've been really out together as a couple, well to me because to everyone else, I must look like Keith Salvatore's assistant. Looking at my white sundress with pink ballet flats, I shake my head. Or maybe not."They're here." Keith says, I pick up at that.I notice two females, one , a familiar looking middle aged woman with a much younger pretty one on her side." Keith." The older lady says, her curly brown hair bouncing with her steps as she walks over to Keith, with open arms."Aunt Jill." Keith greets, giving her a short hug.He's not a hug type of guy."It's been so long." The woman says, leaning back with her hand

I've always loved music, especially live music from all new artists. They bring something unique to the table and there's always a story to be told. Like right now, as I listen to each artist that comes up on stage, giving us a piece of themselves. James had suggested we go out and in my mind, I'd initially thought he meant the club but no, he picked one of our old spots. Ben's grill.Ben's grill was a hang out place for high schoolers, though it intended to just be a bar , it proved more then that when more people loved the food more then anything, soon we had live music and whola. Open Mic.So here we are, open mic at play and me just having a nice time out with my friends. More so my family.When Theresa and the guys claimed me as part of their family, joy took over my heart. I had people who cared about me so much after losing so much. Growing up it's always been my mom and I, and having her gone had hit m

" Akiandra Salvatore are you listening to me?" Theresa says on the other line." Yes I am." I tell her.I can't believe he actually invited me to eat with him tonight, that has only ever happened once before I knew he wanted to divorce me.A lump forms in my throat at the word divorce. Gosh I'm an emotional wreck these days, what's wrong with me?" You're not listening are you?" Theresa's voice breaks me out of my thoughts." I'm sorry Theresa, what were you saying?" I ask, now paying attention." Are you seriously moving back there?" She asks me." No, I'm just staying here for a few days until he's absolutely better."" And by better you mean until he goes back to yelling and ignoring you, as if you aren't his wife." My chest clenches at her words." Theresa I just want him to feel better and right after, I'll be gone

" Akiandra. Kea come on, wake up. " I hear someone say from a distance as I'm shaken awake, but I don't want to." Kea, goddammit wake up!" Keith? Since when does he wake me up?" Kea?!" Again I'm shaken awake and this time I hear shuffling." Why's she not waking up?" Is that Maria sobbing, why's she crying?" Kea please." No this is all wrong, Keith wouldn't say please.The shaking continues , totally irritating me." S-stop," I murmur . Wanting the person to stop." Wait, Kea talk to me." Keith says close." S-stop, I want to sleep. " I try push the person away, only to push on air.Soon I hear a chuckle and a sigh." Oh thank God." Maria breathes out of relief, I detect." She's fine -she's okay." Keith says beside me and I feel hands touch my face, moving hair away from my face. Th
