Two to Tango

Chapter Nine

I opened the door to the apartment before kaden rushed in to hug Theresa.
"You guys came late today" she commented
"Hectic day" I replied shortly before falling on the couch, few minutes later, I open my eyes while sitting up when something caught my eyes
My purse!
I looked across the room to see Theresa setting the dinning tables
"Theresa?" I called out while she hummed
"Who brought my purse home?"I asked
"Oh, Alexander did, he said you left it at a restaurant"she replied
He should pretend to care not after what he told me, I rolled my eyes remembering today's events it was such a terrible day, well, until I met Neon, a shy smile playing on my lips at the mention of his name, he seemed like a really nice guy, I shook my head.
"Hmm, I'll go have my bath now" I said walking into the room.

****
Saturday mornings, i rolled on my bed before getting up heading to the bathroom,washing my face and quickly brushing my teeth I walked into the kitchen scavenging for food.
Harry and Theresa must have left for church they usually take Kaden along leaving my lazy ass to sleep at home.

Ding dong
The bell rang, they're home?

It's quite early, I moved to the door opening it just to be met with my worse nightmare, I tried locking the door but he already stopped me from doing it and walked inside.
"I didn't invite you in" I snapped
"I don't need you to" he snapped back
"Why are you here?" I asked while locking the doors, he took a deep breath
"To apologize and start over?"he said even though it sounded like a question that means he's not sure about it.
"Start over what?" I asked giving him a scrutinizing gaze.
"Listen Mia, I was mad, I said things to you at the restaurant and I'm sorry deeply, I missed you Mia, believe it or not but I truly did, I liked us better when you were my wife" he said calmly.

....when you were my wife"

Then...6years ago, when my life was a perfect puzzle, I stared at the floor like it's the most interesting thing to look at.
"And how do you wish to start over"I asked
"Go on a date with me tonight" he said casually, I furrowed my brows thinking of it. Should I?
"Okay" I said
"Great, I'll pick you up by 7" he said while I waved him off telling him to leave, he left, I locked the door resting my head on it. Is it worth it? I asked myself.

We laid down on the bed, two naked bodies tangled together,my hand tracing his chest lightly while his chin on my hair breathing in my scent, we just made love the fourth time that night. He breathed in my hair and I knew he was thinking.
"Xander? What's bothering you my love?" I asked calmly while his hand around my waist tightened.
"I like it here, with you in my arms, I feel if I remove my hand you'll disappear, I keep feeling someone will take you away from me" he said softly
I stopped tracing his chest before looking at him in his eyes
"I'm not going anywhere" I assured cupping his face in my hands
"I won't let you go and even though I do, you won't go for long...I promise to always find you. You're mine forever" he said before kissing my wedding ring.

It felt like ages. All those times.
