Wedding day?

Chapter 14:

Sterlyn's POV:

There I was talking to Dane and Jane about where and when their wedding was going to be when Alva comes storming out of the restroom with her poker-face on. She came up to the table grabbed her purse and took out a 100 bill and placed it on the table.

"I gotta get back to work." Was all she said before she headed out of the restaurant.

I looked up at Dane and Jane who both were as stunned as I was, but Jane reacted pretty quickly and said: "Go after her."

I left another 100 and dashed out the door.

Luckily I knew where she was going, I ran as fast as I could till I saw her chocolate brown hair, I slowed down and once I was behind her I grabbed her shoulder and spun her around gently (I learned from last time that manhandling her wasn't the best approach).

Once her eyes met mine for only a second her walls had fallen the poker-face was gone. I saw everything, the hurt, the pain, the anger, the sadness that I had caused her so long ago. I let go a breath I had been holding in, once I did all her walls went back up in an instant seeming as if they never even went down.

"Let go of me." She said in a stern voice.

I hadn't even noticed that I was holding onto her so strong, it seemed as if I unconsciously didn't want her to go. I loosen my hold on her and said: "Fiscally I can do that, but I will not let you go in any other way."

She raised an eyebrow at me, before removing herself from my hold. "You're really full of yourself. Who the hell do you think you are? This isn't a freakin romantic comedy for you to be saying things like that; this is fuckin reality. I will only support you until this job is over then I want you out of my life and this time for good."

To that, I answered: "Sorry but that's not going to happen, I'm here to stay."

She just rolled her eyes at me. "Well my time with you is over for the day, I have other projects that I have to handle and I'm about to be late. So bye." With that said she turned away from me and started walking away.

Before she got too far away I shouted: "Can't wait till tomorrow." With that said I turned heading towards where I had parked my car, but with a smile plastered on my face because I knew that she wouldn't be able to get rid of me that easily.

***********************************

After I handled a few things back at my company I headed home. Once I arrived I headed towards my room to change into a pair of sweats, as I was looking for one of my old college hoodies on the top of my closet an envelope fell. I threw the hoodie that was in my hand to my bed and went to pick up the envelope, it had been taped back together and straighten out but you could still tell how old it was and that it had been torn up.

This envelope was always hard to look at; not because of what it said (what it said would bring a huge smile to my face always) it was hard to look at because I couldn't believe that I had torn it myself without even a second thought. I was such a dumbass so long ago, if I could go back in time I would do so many things differently in a heartbeat.

I took the letter out and read it mentally:

Dear Sterlyn,

I know this is cheesy and so unlike me... but I just don't have the courage to say this to your face, I've tried before but it comes out either in a tangled mess or I just can't talk at all. Well here goes nothing...

When I'm with you I smile and I'm happy, happier than I ever am. You make the darkness go away and bring sunshine and rainbows to my life. Your one of my reasons to wake up in the morning, you make me actually want to go to school; you have no idea how ecstatic I get when I see you.

All I all... I love you... and I just had to tell you somehow.

Love,

- Alva

Once again I smiled and warmth filled me completely making me feel like the happiest man alive. I would pursue Alva till the end of time for her to feel the same way again for me, I knew that those feeling's had to still be there somewhere in her heart. Something so strong and beautiful couldn't just disappear even if years have passed... at least my feelings haven't.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I know it's been a while but I had a bit of writers block 😅. But hopefully it's gone.

I kinda want to explain a bit Alva's letter. If you've noticed throughout the story Alva has had a ruff life as a child and teenager. Yes it might not be anything over the top like a traumatic incident, but I truly don't think that those are the only type of things that leave scars on people.
And a bit to justify Alva she has had her own demons and Sterlyn in one point of her life made things slightly easier and that helped her that's the reason she loved him.

But well this will be better explained in further chapters, I just wanted to clarify it a bit so that you can get a better sense of the situation Alva was in when she wrote the letter.

Well that was a bit of a long a.n 😅. But I hope you liked the chapter and please don't hesitate to comment and vote it really would make my day.

Love Ya 😘,
- Ara
