A V E L I N AI could feel Christian's eyes on me as we drove away from my house."Are you okay?" He asked, his voice low and comforting.I turned to him and plastered a fake smile on my face, "Yes, I am."I knew he wanted to ask more questions, but thankfully, he didn't. I didn't want to explain the whole situation to him. He didn't need to know the ins and outs.We drove to the restaurant, and the drive there was quiet. It wasn't the usual comfortable silence. It was the awkward silence, which meant he was bothered by something. And I was pretty sure it was the scene he had witnessed before he drove off.When we arrived at the restaurant, he got out of the car, and helped me down. We entered the restaurant and the maître d' guided us to our seats.He pulled out my chair and sat down across from me."How are you liking the place?" He asked, breaking the silence between us. I was relieved that he didn't address the elephant in the room, and was instead acting like everything was norma

A V E L I N AWeeks flew by in a blur. Christian and I went out more. He hasn't asked me out, or made moves. He'd contemplated kissing me o e too many times, but I was glad he was able to control the urge.He was a great guy, but I didn't think I was ready to be committed to another man again. All the men in my life had done nothing but break me.My phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and read the message.'We need to talk. Now.' -Lorenzo'Talk about what?' I replied.'Everything.''I'm busy.''You'll have to make time. Meet me at the beach, in half an hour. We're not leaving until we're done.''Okay, fine.'I couldn't believe he was giving me orders. But I guess he had the right to, since I've been avoiding him for a while now.He'd tried everything to make sure I was okay with him being in the kids' lives, and I just refused to cooperate."You okay?" Christian asked. I had forgotten I was with him. He was currently driving me home."Yeah. It's nothing." I looked at him, and

A V E L I N AI couldn't handle the look of disappointment on my best friend's face as I told her that I had fallen for Lorenzo's trap again."You fucked him?" She said, her face looking like she was about to murder me."I- yes. But, it's not what it looks like.""Then, what is it?""I didn't mean to. I wasn't thinking straight and he was just too convincing.""Did he rape you?" She asked, and I could see that she was worried."What? No. Of course not. He didn't do anything without my consent.""You have got to be the biggest idiot on the planet.""Thank you. I know that. But, can we talk about something else, please?""No. What you did was unacceptable.""I know, I'm sorry.""Aren't you supposed to be mad at him? Not sleeping with him? What is wrong with you?""I know, okay. I don't know what's gotten into me. He's just- too fucking irresistible.""And, that's a valid reason to sleep with your ex?""Of course not. You're not listening.""You're not saying anything. The only thing I'm

A V E L I N AThe food was ready and the table was set. The kids were dressed in their best clothes. It was a formal occasion and the dinner had to be perfect. I wore a red silk dress that clung onto my body perfectly, my hair was tied into a loose bun and I looked presentable enough.Carina was putting on a long peach two piece dress. It was a skirt and crop top ensemble, with her signature stilettos on. She looked beautiful and I was praying that it all worked out in her favor.It was exactly seven when the bell rang and I rushed to the door, opening it. It was Christian.A smile spread across my face as I saw him and his eyes roamed all over my body, unable to hide his shock. After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and murmured, "You look breathtaking," He said and handed me a bouquet of flower.I blushed at the unexpected gesture, taking the flowers from him."Come on in." I said.He entered and I closed the door behind him. He wore a dark blue suit that complimented his figure

A V E L I N AChristian didn't answer any of my calls. Neither did he reply to any of my messages. It was obvious that he was ignoring me.It's been a month.A month since I saw Lorenzo. A month since he left and went back to New York. A month since I told him to leave me for good.He still calls. To check on the kids. At least, that was the only good thing I could do for him. I never let him hear my voice or see my face. Once he was done talking to the kids, I end the call immediately.The kids couldn't go a day without talking to him. Even Zion had warmed up to him and would always speak to him about his day or the new friends he made.I was at the grocery store with Zion and Autumn when a man with his children passes. He carried his two kids and got whatever they pointed at. My heart squeezed as I watched my children's expression.It wasn't because I couldn't get for them whatever they wanted, it was the realization that they had never and would never have this type of relationship
