We stare at each other. That's what we've been doing as minutes passed by." Akiandra what is this?" He steps into the room, closing the door behind him." Just as you can see, I'm giving you, your life back. " I watch his head drop down, hands on his hips. He bites at his lips and nods his head before looking up at me again." We are still married." "Not for long" I quickly say, cutting him off." Is this about yesterday because I - " He stops short of his words.He can't do it." You don't have to strain yourself or force yourself even, to say it. You can't apologise, it's not you, it's not in you to do so and you know what? - I've made peace with that." I take a breath before turning away from him and taking my bag in hand." I've made peace with a lot of things, handled a lot of things and still I stood. But last night was a different

" Come on, you have to do it sometime today." I say, palm against my cheek." Urgh I can't." He throws his hand up in defeat, slumping against his chair and glaring at the piece of vanilla cake in front of him.I bet he wasn't exaggerating when he said, it makes him uncomfortable and takes him back to that time." You know you'll never conquer your fears if you don't try," I say." It's just staring at me." He shudders." You know what, I've got this." He suddenly perks up, taking the small plate in hand.I sit up straight, hoping that he's about to take at least a bite, only for him to change direction and throw the cake away." What are you doing?" I ask in disbelief." I couldn't do it, it had to go." He says, sighing in relief."O.kay, would you like chocolate cake then?" I pull out the piece of gooey chocolate cake out of the fridge, p

Right after Keith had left, I found my body moving on it's own. I was busting some serious moves and squealing with joy, a permanent smile remaining on my face till I laid in bed.How long I'd awaited an apology. The day had filled with a new norm for myself, only for things to take a turn when he just rocked up on my doorstep.What had caused a change of heart or even changed the way he viewed things. Such questions stay locked at the back of my head, not wanting anything to mess up the wonderful moment I feel.In the two years of my marriage , such an act of him on his knees, pleading for forgiveness and asking for my friendship has never happened.The moment those words left his lips, I swear my heart stopped. Giddy, that's how I feel, to have a much closer look at his life, being led into his thoughts, dreams and all. I don't even know what could be more worth it, then getting to k

I wait patiently for Keith to show up. We'd made plans to go watch a movie tonight and I must say , I'm looking forward to it.We'd texted back and forth in the afternoon, and he'd suggested that we go out for a movie tonight. Now here I am, still waiting for him. I know that he's a bit late and I have no doubt he might be tied up at work.  I just hope he'll be able to make it because if he doesn't, no doubt I'll be a little disappointed but I'll still understand. He is a busy man.A knock on the door has me jumping up and rushing to the door. My smile wavers a bit when Keith is not the one on my doorstep but it's Theresa." Theresa hey."

Right to the point.How does she do tha

I can't believe I'm doing this. Well I can't believe this is happening, I'm travelling with Keith.When he asked me to accompany him, I wasn't really thinking straight, I was still stunned about what happened with London. Everything after he left and I agreed to go with Keith, became a blur. Now I'm sitting beside Keith, who's busy on his laptop. Probably with work.We're going to the airport right now and I'm nervously excited to go to Aspen. I've never been to Aspen. To add to this excitement, I'm going with Keith. I know he might be busy with work and all but when he's not busy, I'll just have to drag him around and create a little fun for the both of us.

She'd always known that I had a heart for travelling, experiencing new things, learning and storing memories of a life time.I watch curiously as we pas

Chapter 26
I'm jolted awake by a noise coming from the door. I don't have time to react when the door is opened and I hear someone enter the room.Good thing my back is facing the person.The bed dips and I hold my breath." Kea, I know you're awake." Joe.I sigh out in relief, glancing over my shoulder at him." Why are you here Joe?" "Joey, I'm here as Joey. Your friend, remember?" I sigh again, rolling over onto my back, turning my head to him. "What's wrong? " " I ruined everything." "And by everything you mean?" "My friendship with Keith, I snapped and basically hinted in me being in love with him. Gosh I feel stupid, feel embarrassed." I groan out, now thinking about earlier."Well it was bound to happen." "What do you mean?" "You've been holding onto

I shyly sneak a glance at Keith, whilst he's driving , a blush warms my cheeks at thoughts of what happened at the restaurant, his words, the way he was so gentle with me until now and of course, the awesome cake I can't wait to devour, that's on my lap.Not being able to control myself, I turn my head to really take him in. So many words ring in mind as I stare at him.Handsome, hot, dreamy......I could go on."Stop, that's distracting." He says."But I didn't even do anything." I try suppress a grin." You're staring." " Sorry." I quickly look away, playfully drumming my fingers on the cake box.A hand covers mine. I smile at this. Arriving home, he gets out and comes over to my side, helping me out of the car.Right when I'm out of the car, his jacket is placed over my shoulders, preventing the cold from making me

Chapter 28
Yesterday surely felt like a dream. It was too unreal and right as I stand on the balcony, drinking my coffee just to warm up, because of the cold day, I think back to two years ago.I was still way too young compared to now, maybe a bit naive and hopeful of a better tomorrow, whenever a day became the yesterday.Being married surely changed my life in so many ways, I lived a life of waiting as my heart continued to beat for Keith. I never really opened up myself for people to actually get to know me, therefore I lost myself in everything to do with Keith.The divorce kinda opened my eyes yet still hurting my heart. I reunited with my friend James as well as made new ones, London and Theresa. Living on my own brought me back to when I was knocked into the reality of not having my mother around. Where it was just me and me alone.Yes my heart was breaking but I was starting to make decisions for myself a

" Keith?!"" I have to go." He says to Joe, his eyes glancing up at me for a second before rushing out of the house.I sigh, sitting down on the step and looking at the door as if he'll come right back in.This is how it's been since yesterday, after Mrs Davies came by to take Bella back to Riley, accompanied by Keith, surprisingly. He never once spoke to me after he returned. He simply distanced himself from me and today is no different.It's like we are back to how things were, and I can't blame it on anyone else but me.I messed things up.He overheard me talking to Bella, finally finding out my true feelings for him and now that he knows, I bet he doesn't want anything to do with me. How could I be so stupid as to not close the door?I'm afraid that I've even lost the remaining thing I have with Keith and that's our new found friendship.

He has not said anything, he's silent but just staring ahead, at what I've presented him with.I'd planned a special dinner just for us two, I had prepared myself on how I'd go about telling him how I felt,  but of course everything else happened and I found myself confessing anyway. Keith then telling me that he felt the same way.I can't even describe how I feel right now, I'm bubbling with relief and happiness, even though there's a little bump in the way. There is so much I want us to talk about but right now, I just need a moment with him, for us to focus on only us and nothing else." You don't like it do you? " He turns to me and pulls me close to him, leaning forward and stealing a kiss." I love it, thank you." He says against my lips." I um kinda had everything planned out,  so I would um," I drop m
