love over the horizon.

chapter 4

At this moment I felt completely embarrassed. I look up trying to look unfazed by what just happened, I'm not really ashamed because I absolutely loved it.

"I'll like to go home now Thankyou." I say void of any emotion.

He takes a step towards me, making me step bakwards.

"Li, I didn't mean it that way-" he tries to reach out to me but I step out of his reach.

"Please Ken I just want to go home." I say grabbing my purse off the island and walking out of the kitchen leaving him there.

-----------------------------

The flight and drive home was awkward to the point I felt like hopping through the window and risking being roadkill, I could tell he tried to start a conversation but I really wasn't in the mood.

"Thankyou for letting me take you out once more." He says looking at me for a moment before leaning in trying to kiss me.

I lean away from him, unlocking my door, and just before I went in I said "you shouldn't have come back" and with that I got into my home locking the door .

I walked towards the large window by the door, making sure the opening wasn't too large. He just stood there staring at my door, he didn't look sad or angry but he looked conflicted like he wanted to do something.

He reached out to ring my door bell when a loud sound started through the yard. I'm guessing it was his phone which he left in his car.

He ran so quick it seemed like he wasn't just standing there. I could see him talking to his phone but I couldn't hear a thing.

Closing the curtain, I walk up the stairs trying to get Ken out of my head and think of my kids and Wes. And for no exact reason I start crying, I don't know exactly why but I couldn't walk any more.

I found myself sitting on the stairs staring at the door I just walked in through. Why would he come back? Why didn't he come earlier when I wasn't married? Why did he leave in the first place?

God what did I get myself into?

Looking at Lina infront of me brought back old habits, I swear I almost lost control of myself.

She got so confident but I know underneath was a crumbling girl. No matter how old a person gets they are still the person they used to be.

I could tell she wanted this as much as I did, I could tell she was upset with me, and I could tell she still loved me. I leaned in to her slowly to see if I'll get a response. I did get a response, though it wasn't what I expected.....she stepped back.

I couldn't bring myself to understand what she just did let alone what she said after that.

"You shouldn't have come back." Her words were painful, yes, I understand she is married, but she didn't want me back? I wanted to ring her door bell and ask what she meant by that when I heard my ring tone from the car, and I knew who exactly it was.

"What did you find?" I was starting to lose my patience with this guy and if I don't get this done by Monday someone would have to pay.

"Boss. He has the package." Hearing this made me even more furious. "I want that package back by Saturday or someone will pay...and trust me it won't only be him."

"Yes, boss." I could hear the fear In his voice. "Before I forget, make sure you get the message through him before dealing with him."

"Yes boss." I cut the line, starting the engine. I look towards Lina's window one more time. "I'm sorry for hurting you Lina, but not for coming back. I'll get out of your hair for now but I promise you I'll be back." I whisper.

Pulling out of her driveway . I might've come a little too late but I'm not leaving with out what I came for.
