Alex’s most dreaded day finally knocked on his door. He and Fredrick were passed out on the sofa from drinking. Of course, Fredrick had no intentions of getting drunk, but watching Alex drown himself in a full bottle of Brandy wasn’t his intention when he suggested a drink so he gave in.Winter was slowly giving way to Spring, slow, very slowly.The fogs in Greenville were intense on some days and less on some other days. Today being Joseph Clinton’s wedding- the morning winter breeze came in cold, chilly and snowy, like a Christmas winter.Alex twirled around on the couch, searching in vain for a blanket to snuggle under, instead he wiggled into a body next to him.Gary and Avery watched the two men holding onto each other for warmth.“I can’t believe this.” Avery scoffed, “He left me alone in bed with his children to cuddle with Alex, what did I get myself into?” She heard a soft chuckle cackle in the background, and it wasn’t from Gary.They both turned around and their eyes me

Alex, Fredrick and Gary came home earlier than expected with little to no tales of Joseph Clinton’s wedding. While, if there was a tale, Fredrick and Alex would not say, but Margaret had made sure to join the wedding online, after all it was the wedding of the Former Mayor of Greenville.She had swooned over Alex in a suit forty times before the ceremony was over, beaming and fantasizing about the day she’d be the one on the altar. A feeling of nostalgia overwhelmed her when he came back home with the gold flower brooch attached to his tuxedo.Alex was still not talking to her, even on the dining table, but her unspoken apology was well accepted and Alex could neither keep his eyes off of her. For some reason, the light blue pajamas she had recently purchased made her breasts look fuller, exposing her cleavages, gluing his eyes to her body like a moth to a flame.“Okay, that’s it, come here…” Alex exclaimed, jolting from his seat over to Margaret’s seat.Margaret smiled sheepishly, fo

Ivy watched from her side eye as Adrian stood his ground, saying no to the beautiful girl even though he was clearly hurting, and it made her wonder about what really went wrong.Adrian felt he was slowly suffocating from Heather’s constant pleas. She had no remorse in her eyes, only the look of someone who wanted to have her way, despite whatever.“Do you even like me?…” Adrian forced himself to ask.Heather’s hand went to the back of her head, gently rearranging her hair.“Hey, who cares? We make a good looking couple.” She said, shooting Adrian a wry smile.“I care… I don’t want to make a good looking couple, I want to be with someone who likes me romantically.” Adrian shot back.“eiiish, come on! Don’t be archaic. No one cares about those things now…”Adrian nodded emphatically, he was really beginning to see Heather and the kind of relationship she wanted to build.When his eyes returned to her, he noticed quite a distorted expression on her face, one mixed with surprise and anxi

“I figured that was the case with the pretty girl, this morning…” Ivy said, darting her gaze to the ground.“Oh?!” Adrian exclaimed, nodding in agreement.“It was that obvious…”“Yeah, I’m sorry…” She replied.“No, please” Adrian pleaded.“Don’t be sorry for me. I already feel terrible enough.” “I’m sorry…” Ivy apologized again, feeling awful.“Now there are too many sorry’s and I don’t know which one to take…” Adrian teased, smiling at his own joke.Ivy let out a soft chuckle that expressed her relief.She looked around and there was almost nobody at the cafe.Adrian followed her gaze, and realizing the same, he said,“I told you… Sundays are half days…” “But we can’t close, just yet.” Ivy protested.“Are you saying that because you don’t want to go home, Miss Evans?” Ivy’s heart danced at the exotic and effortless way he pronounced her name. A faint blush tinted her face and she buried her face in her palms, trying to hide her embarrassment.“I told you too much…” she squeaked.

The new month began, along with a new season.“Spring really is here” Fredrick groaned.“and daddy has to go back to work.”“It’s been three months after all” he told his children, even though they were still sleeping. Fredrick kissed Aiden on the forehead, and before he could get around to Adele, she was already awake, wriggling and writhing in the bassinet, demanding to be held.Fredrick took her from the bassinet, cuddling her in his arms,“Should I take you with me?” “Won’t you cry and ask for mommy’s food.”“You’re going to be late, Fredrick” Alex whispered, emerging from the hallway and heading straight for Aiden who was now awake too.“Did you sleep well, champ?”Aiden made some cooing noises, and Alex replied,“I’ll take that as a yes…”, turning to Fredrick, he said“Should we stay back with them or go with them?” “Don’t be ridiculous!” Fredrick scoffed, turning to put Adele in the bassinet.Alex smiled warmly at Aiden, as he laid him down.“You know, he owns everything you
