The story of you and I

CHAPTER 28

The weekend was a blur, Friday night Alex came with a bottle of wine and groceries to make dinner, obviously, she stayed overnight, on Saturday we went out to dinner Andrew, Ana, Danna, Ellie, Alex and me, we didn't go to any bar or karaoke because on Sunday we were going to Seattle with Danna and we wanted to rest, our flight was leaving a little after noon.

"Alex, can I leave you my keys so you can water my plants? You should only water them every other day" I said while we were curled up on the couch.

"Sure love, my gardener fees are much more affordable than those of a photographer" she said stroking my hair.

"Are you implying that I can't afford you? Alex Dominguez?" I said sitting down on the sofa and crossing my arms. Alex laughed and sat me on top of her.

"Never! In any case, it would be the opposite. Now let's go and show me how much water I should put on them, I don't want you to exile me to the sofa for a drowned or dried your plants" she said, getting up from the sofa.

On Sunday I woke Alex up just as s

he had asked, with lots of kisses and pampering. The night before I had left my suitcase ready, so we had at least half an hour to be in bed and I wanted to make the most of it. Then I took a quick shower while Alex made something for breakfast, I put on some jeans, ankle boots, a loose blouse, and took a sweater to have in hand, hopefully, it won't be raining when we get there. When I came out of the bedroom, Alex was waiting for me at the breakfast table, she had plates served with scrambled eggs and toast and my cup of coffee.

"Thank you, sweetie" I said giving her a kiss on the cheek before biting my toast. Alex looked at me and curled his lips down. "What? What is it?" I said with a frown.

"I'm going to miss you a lot, it's so many days" she told me, pouting.

"It's only 4 days because today doesn't count, one less day than when you left and I'm not going to be surrounded by beautiful models jumping on me" I said, tapping her nose with my index finger. She made a face at me and kissed me.

We got to the airport with plenty of time, so we sat in a cafe to wait for Danna who was on her way. All weekend I wanted to tell her about Susan's visit and request, in my mind I had already decided that I was going to call Jordan to try to convince him, but I knew Alex was not going to be a happy camper about it and didn't want to argue with her but I didn't want to hide it from her either; and now before leaving I wanted to get this weight off my shoulders.

"Al, I have to tell you something" I said looking at my coffee cup

"Oook" Alex said suspiciously.

"When I got home from the hotel on Friday, Susan, Jordan's sister was waiting for me" I saw Alex's eyes narrow and she leaned back in the chair as she stared at me. "She asked me to talk to Jordan to convince him to go to therapy, she was very worried-"

"Definitely not!" She interrupted

"Excuse me?" I said shaking my head and looking at her with disbelief.

"Emma, ​​you're not going to talk to him, the guy is a savage, I don't want you around him. She is his family and they are the ones who should be there for him. You are no longer part of his life, so...NO!" she said emphasizing the last word.

"Alex, hun, I wasn't asking for your permission. I was just letting you know about the conversation I had with Susan" Alex crossed her arms over her chest and put her lips in a fine line.

"So are you going to meet with him?" Alex snorted, shaking her head.

"I'm going to give him a call" I also said leaning back in my chair. She stared at me for a bit before speaking again.
