Begin Again

Chapter 2

°Xander°

I pull up in front of Shé's job, contemplating on rather I should go in or not. I know she doesn't like being bothered at work but I need to let her know I love her and that I want her back. Even though I don't deserve her.

After deciding to go see her I exit my Lexus, cross the street and pull open the door to her restaurant named 'The Garden'. Everything inside has some type of flower on it but it's elegant and sophisticated all in one. Just like my Shé.

I see my beautiful wife talking to a table full of men. I instantly feel irritated. No man should talk to her. She's mine and I won't let anyone else have her. As I walk closer to them I hear, "I'm sorry sir but as the owner I don't give out my number to my customers."

The man replies "No one has to know. It'll be our little secret." I step behind Shé and wrap my arms around her pulling her back into my chest, I say "Well her husband would be quite upset if his wife just up and gave out her number."

Shé spins around and coldly says "I am no longer your wife remember, you lost that privilege when you started seeking other bodies to lay by."

I say just as coldly "You are still my wife. The divorce papers have yet to be finalized, and since I want you back I'm not going to sign."

Shé groans "Why are you making this more difficult than it has to be."

I ignore her and start pulling her towards her office at the back of the restaurant leaving the men at the table to stare after us. Once I reach her office I snatch the door open and pull her in after me, shut the door and turn to face her. I say "I want to make our marriage work. I don't want to give you up, your the moon in the darkness and without you I'd be a completely different man. I need you baby. Please let's try to fix this."

Shé stares at me for several long minutes then says "I will give you one more chance Xander. But if doesn't work out you will sign the divorce papers without any problems." She turns and looks out her office window out towards the street and says "I still love you to."

·Shé·
I don't understand why I let Xander talk me into giving him another chance when I know that he's just going to break my heart, again.

But as I told him, I really do love him. "Will you please go out to dinner with me?" He asked.

I reply "No." He looks crestfallen, and I say "I don't wanna go out but you can come to the house for dinner."

Xander's face lights up with a blinding smile that makes my heart skip in my chest. I respond with a smile.

He walks to me and pulls me into his chest all in one movement. I gasp and he looks deep into my eyes and says "Baby I won't mess up again. I promise. I know I hurt you every time I pushed you away. I love you so much that when you left I realised how much I needed you in my life.

I reach up and run my fingers across his eyebrow smoothing out the frown there and say "I believe you." And in my heart I do.
