Her Second Chance

Chapter 22

2 Weeks later(5 November)

Alex's Pov

"Mum. Come on. Dad's here. We're going to be late." I hear Josh shout

Every time he refers to Luke as dad, I feel this sort of excitement, making my heart skip a beat . It's so amazing how my life has changed. It's been this beautiful roller coaster since moving here and meeting Luke. Now I don't think I can imagine my life without him. It's scary, but so true. I know that's not safe, because he might get tired of me, and want to move on. I mean it's a very real possibility. I guess that doubt is also the reason for me not signing the marriage certificate, and prolonging the plans for an official wedding, but I'm not dwelling on that. I'd rather not. I'm going to enjoy what I have. Grabbing all the happiness I can stock up on.

"Daydreaming again baby?" The familiar voice interrupts

I know he's near, and when I turn around I go smack into him. Realising then how close he really is

"Just like the first time. You're always bumping into me baby." He smiles drawing me near

"Really? That's not how I remember it Luke." I smile up at him

He pulls me close, and our eyes find each other. His lips reach mine, and everything else disappears. The feelings he interrupts in me never ceases to amaze me, and I love it. It's a beautiful,strange feeling, that I never imagined I would ever feel again, but I have, I am, and I revel in it. We continue that way hungry for each other, until we hear a little voice

"Eew guys. Come on. We're going to be late, because of your smooching."

"Smooching?" Luke and I ask in unison, bursting out in laughter

"Yes, smooching."he crosses his arms, staring at us

This child is unreal. Seriously unreal

"Okay baby. I'm ready. Let me grab my bags." I smile at him

"Ye ye." He says walking out the door

I turn around to close my bag, and I feel Luke behind me again

"Mmm. I love this outfit baby. So sexy." He growls

I resume standing, and my back is toward his front.

"You know it's just leggings Luke."

"Yea. I'm aware, but it adds to your sexiness, and I can't wait to get you out of it."

His words cause tingles, and I lean back into him, as his hands travel over me. Mouth on my neck, lips creating havoc

"Luke. Baby. Stop. We need to leave. Or Josh might come looking for us again."

"Oh Alexandra. I have plans for you this weekend." He winks

"Okay loverboy. Let's get out of here." I slap his bum, pushing him out the room.

He laughs that beautiful sound, that has become my song. Before we reach the lounge he stops me

"Baby. Hold up. Do you think that it will be a good idea to tell Josh about the adoption this weekend? I really want him to agree to be my son legally."

When I look at him,I can't help but smile. He looks so unsure, and scared about the whole issue,so I walk toward him, and wrap my hands around his waist, looking up at him

"Babe just relax. It's going to be okay. We're going to do this together, and yes, maybe this weekend will be okay." I kiss his cheek, and we head to the lounge

Josh is sitting there looking so impatient

"Hey buddy. Why the long face? Come on we're leaving." I smile
