I am so sorry I have been updating less frequently. But I want each chapter to be perfect for you all so I edit it a couple of times before uploading. Hope you enjoy! <3 Happy Sunday!
It started drizzling. I began walking by myself down the long, desolate road. Alex pulled my hand. “Where do you think you’re going? I can’t let you go alone. Get in the car.”
“I want to be alone. And why do you even care? Why did you even come to save me?”
“Coz I love you.”
“Yeah, enough to push me away from yourself.” I sarcastically remarked.
Alex pushed me gently against the car, his hands on my shoulder. Our faces were inches apart. He looked straight into my eyes. I could feel my heart thudding a thousand times faster. “You think I did all this for myself? It’s you who I always wanted to be happy. You. So when you wanted to be with Jake, I didn’t know what more I could have done. Do you even know how it feels waking up after nearly dying and the one who you want to be the most with, is not there for you? And I promise I wouldn’t have interfered into your life even today, had you not been in danger.”
“So you didn’t know about my memory loss and that I was innocent?” I looked at him surprised.
“No. What are you even talking about?”
I fell to the ground and started crying. There were wild winds that covered my face with my hair “Why do you always do this? Why do you always prove to me I’m not good enough for you? How can you be so good?”
Alex bent down and removed some hair from my face with his hand. He then pulled me closer the next second his warm lips met mine. “But…….” I tried to push him away but my control melted. I pulled him closer and kissed him back. It was like the rain washed away all the bitter memories. We didn’t care it was pouring down heavily from the sky above. I didn’t care that my hands were soiled when I ran them through his hair. Alex didn’t care to know the rest of the story.
He lifted me up in his arms and carried me inside. He put me on the floor beside the fireplace and lay down right beside me. Beside the burning fire, I felt our love reignited, with greater than ever passion. He whispered to me lines by ancient poets while we snuggled.
Next morning when I woke up, Alex was still asleep. His arms were wrapped around me and there was a little smile across his lips. I leaned in and whispered, “I love you, forever and always.”
“I love you too, Angela.” He muttered through his sleep.
I backed away a bit, shocked. I whispered again, “Alex?”
He finally opened his eyes. “Good morning, Katy.” He leaned in and kissed me back. My mind was puzzled with a thousand questions, but I decided to put them aside for now. It didn’t seem a good time to bring it up.
I went to the kitchen and started rummaging through the shelves for some food. There was a bag of chips, some canned peas and a couple of granola bars. I lay them down on the little table. “Sorry, that’s all we got.” I looked down.
“It’s perfect. Who doesn’t love granola bars? And what matters to me the most is you’re here with me.” He kissed my hand.
I narrated to him the whole episode about my memory loss, and my plan to trap Jake. He looked a bit pained at first but he finally smiled slyly and said, “I didn’t know my girl was so dangerous.”
“You don’t even know half of me yet.” I smiled and winked.
We drove back to the Parker mansion that afternoon. As I got out of the car, Alex again lifted me up in his arms and carried me in. To our surprise, the whole city was waiting inside for us. I turned red. Important looking businessmen clad in all black, couple of famous celebs, Tyler, Jane, and a little baby……….wait what? I ran over to Jane and hugged her.
“Oh my Gosh, I missed you so much! And who’s this,” I said referring to the baby. It was the most beautiful baby, owing to the beautiful parents. He had the blue, pearly eyes like his father and every time he smiled, a little dimple appeared on his left cheek just like Jane’s. I lifted him in my arms and kissed his forehead.
“He was born two weeks ago. I wish you were there with us. We have named him ‘David’.” Jane replied.
“David Davidson? Seriously you couldn’t have picked up a better name?” I teased her.
“Not my fault. Tyler named him without asking me. We were expecting a girl. I told you Ty that was a bad choice.” Jane frowned.
It was the perfect evening; dinner with friends and family. Alex seemed happy too. Finally, when everyone began to leave, I took Jane to one corner and asked her, “Who is Angela?”
Who is Angela? Is she just another fling? Or a deep dark secret Alex is hiding? Find out in the next chapter!
