The Time of Her Life: Sister's at Heart Book 1

Chapter Nine: A Text Message

 Annie's POV

  A  week had past since I had last seen or heard from Alex, which was fine with me; I had entirely too much going on. Not only had I made up the two finals that I missed, but already finished the rest and was going to be a senior in college next year!

  Becca had passed all of her finals as well, so it looked like we were both going to be roomies again next year. She'd questioned me about the day that Alex had mysteriously showed up, I told her everything, she couldn't believe that we'd kissed.

  After talking to her, she helped me see that Alex was probably just scared because of all the patient client privileges. I didn't think about all that at the time, I just thought that he was apologising because he genuinely felt bad for doing it.

  I hadn't heard from him, but his office called to set up my first appointment. I was due to return home next week, so I made it for Friday. I had to admit that I was nervous to see him, I didn't want our relationship to be awkward. I also didn't want to change Dr's I trusted him more than any Dr I'd ever been to.

  My hip had completely healed and I had started jogging again, which was exactly what I had finished doing. I stopped in front of the apartment and put my hands on my knees steadying my breath. I had my head down, and my ipod blasting. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and jumped up in the air. ''Ah" I shrieked.

  "Annie, it's ok it's just me," I stared stunned not believing my own eyes.

 "Randy what are you doing here?" I growled breathlessly.

 " I needed to see you, I've missed you so much Annie." He gave me a puppy dog face, that I use to think was cute, but now I just wanted to slap the look off his face.

 " I swear I thought I made it perfectly clear that I wanted nothing to do with you anymore!" I hadn't seen Randy in almost a month, and I had to say I had never felt more free and happy.

 " Annie, come on you know you miss me! Besides I want to be here for you, what happened between me and Olivia was stupid. I know I messed up, but please can't I have just one more chance?"

 His blue eyes begged me to take him back, and in all honesty if it had been anyone other than Olivia that I'd found him with, then I might have considered taking him back. But no he had to choose the girl that was engaged to Luke, and who had made my life a living nightmare when we were in high school.

  " Look Randy, I have alot on my mind and alot going on. I'm leaving next week anyway, I'm spending the summer with my parents. I really cared alot about you Randy, but in my eyes once a cheater always a cheater."

 He was starting to look angry when he replied, " I thought your golden rule was to forgive people and treat them the way you want to be treated?" His voice had a hint of disgust in it, making me want to slap him even more.

  " I Did  treat you the way I wanted to be treated, I never was unfaithful to you! And as for forgiving, well I have forgiven you, but I'm no fool Randy. I won't be hurt by you again, and would really appreciate it if you would leave me alone for good." I said with just as much malice, as he had.

 He sighed angerly " Your right, I'm going to leave you alone. I can see your not worth my time!"  He stomped off to his car, and as I turned around and started up the stairs I couldn't help but laugh. Lord what was I thinking the day I got with him?

Alex's POV

  I had been back to my old routine for roughly a week, I missed Annie everyday. I wanted to call her so bad that it literally hurt, but what would I say? 'I'm sorry for apologizing for kissing you, now please forgive me, and can I do it again?' I laughed mentally kicking myself.
