BACK TO LOVE.

2⃣9⃣

Ayanda bolted up from the couch when she was startled by the slamming of her front door. An angry Axel appeared into the living room from the hallway.

' You know I waited for you like a fool for over an hour. Why didn't you just tell me that you didn't want to do it than embarras me in front of that man.'

Ayanda had completely forgotten about their appointment with their therapist. She tried to apologise but he would not let her get a word in.

' Axel I said I am sorry I forgot!'

' Forgot?! I reminded you this morning and sent you a fucken text to remind you again and tried calling you but you didn't even bother answering your phone!'

She grabbed her phone from the table to remove it from do not disturb. Unnoticed by her husband, tears fell from her eyes and onto the screen, she did her best to hold them back but they were uncontrollable and were blurring her vision. Axel turned to face her still on his rant but when he realized she was crying, anger turned to worry.

' Hey, hey no need to cry we will make another appointment. I am sorry for screaming at you, don't cry. You know I hate seeing you cry.'

' I am sorry about missing the appointment but I'm not crying over that -'

' Then what is it?'

' If you'd let me finish..... '

He wiped her cheeks apologising for the rude interruption.

' I saw Kevin again.'

' Are you sure you saw him and it was not just his voice like the last time you had me worried.'

She cut her eyes at him.

' Like I told you that night it was him and I bumped into him today after my meeting at the restaurant with Brittany -'

' Brittany? I thought I told you to leave her to me. I will deal with her, why don't you ever listen.'

' Listen to you! The last time you dealt with her you ended up in bed with her and she claims she's pregnant by you.'

' That's impossible. I know I used protection -'

It her turn to cut him off.

' TMI. I don't need to hear all that. I know you're not that stupid to get another woman pregnant and she only said it to get under my skin but right now she's not a factor. Kevin is and it was him I saw him.'

' I don't want to go on a wild goose chase because you think you saw him.'

' Axel I saw him, he touched me when I bumped into him. I looked up and saw him. WHY THE HELL WON'T YOU BELIEVE ME!! That man raped me when I was pregnant and took my first born from me. I know how he smells, breathes, talks and moves without making a sound at old. I know him without seeing him. You should have believed me the charity ball night. I told you he was back.'

Axel sat down next to her and pulled her in for a hug as she cried into her chest, hating that she was going through this again.
