Still in Love With You.

Chapter Five - Friend's Don't Let Friend's Lie Alone.

Jaimie Sommers...

Caleb had taken Jay to check in with my brother after he had ripped into Roxanna. Sometimes it was difficult to remember that the man I loved was in fact best friends with my brother long before we had fallen for one another.

I never expected to fall in love with Caleb. I had never imagined falling in love with someone older than me. I had always dated within my age range. I hadn't ever understood how Roxy had been so happy with my brother, not until I started to fall for Caleb, and when we finally gave into the passion between us, I was completely sold on it.

Sex with an older man was so much better than it had been with guys my age. Caleb was experienced in ways that blew my mind and sparked my addiction to him. I was obsessed and from what he had confessed to me, he felt the same way. I wish that it had been easy for us but my brother hadn't always been on board with us being together. Unfortunately, that was not the case, from the moment he found out we were dating, he had been dead-set against it. Demanding we end things and when neither Caleb or I were inclined to do so – it brought about a change that would redirect my entire life.

I moved out of my brother's house where I had pretty much grown up and moved in with Caleb. It wasn't something that we had planned so soon, but it worked, we worked together so well that there was barely any adjustment period to sharing one another's space so intimately. If anything, it only reinforced that we were for keeps. And by the time my brother came around and was asking me to come home, we were convinced that living together long-term was what we both wanted and we never looked back.

I had never known love like I was suddenly experiencing from the man who had been a part of my life for so long. I ached for him much more than I had ever ached for anyone. We never really spoke about marriage; I assumed that living together was enough for both of us so when he proposed it was a shock to me. I hadn't expected it but it was suddenly thrust at me and I wanted it more than I had ever wanted anything else in my life.

I wanted to be Mrs. Caleb Regal. As silly as it sounds it felt like it was my purpose. I was born to love Caleb and nothing would ever change that. And now, here we were the night before I was going to walk down the aisle to marry the man I loved. And I had absolutely no doubts, I wasn't even experiencing any cold feet. If anything, my feet were itching to get there already.

Smiling as the last of our guests left, I turned to the nearest waiter and requested a bottle of Jack Daniels. I was going to check on my friend.

Roxy and I may have been separated by distance for ten years, but we remained in constant contact with one another and our friendship was as strong as it had ever been so I was furious with my brother for how he talked to her. I absolutely understand that seeing her with another man was a shock because she hadn't ever once mentioned dating Leon. From what she had told me about him in our chats was that he was her best friend down there. It had taken me completely off guard when she introduced him as her man. That wasn't to say I didn't like him though because he was just one of those types of people that you can't help but take to – he was warm and open; he clearly adored my friend if the looks he cast her were anything to go by but there was a part of me that felt a little sad. I had always just assumed that Roxy and my brother would find their way back to one another.

Don't get me wrong, I am not entirely opposed to Beth, I mean she clearly loves my brother but I can see it in him; he isn't as devoted to her as he was with Roxy. There isn't that burning passion that always lingered in the air between him and my best friend.

Roxy and my brother are soul-mates, twin-flames if you believed in that sort of thing and I did. I believed so deeply that I could almost see the connection between them as a physical chain wrapped around each of them, tethering them together. That type of love doesn't just burn away, no, it burns brighter, even with time and distance between you and I had been almost one hundred percent certain I had seen it tonight.
