Chapter five
My eyes slowly drifted off to Brenda who was also looking at me with tears in her amber eyes, I just smiled at her and pour myself a glass of water from the jug that sat on the small fridge by the bedside.
I took a sip then slowly lowered the glass and looked in to the water, my reflection staring back at me.
I continued.
****To think about it, I didn’t know if I was really a coward using Gale’s mom as an excuse.
Was I just afraid to get in to a relationship, if so can you blame me. It is hard for relationships to work these days.
Or maybe I was just afraid of him leaving me and ruining our friendship.
Yes, I was thinking about his mom. How will he live without her mom?
The truth is that I was just convincing my self hop
Chapter SixI can’t say that my first day at work had started well. I mean who starts her morning with crying like me.I slowly comforted my self and gained back my strength, After cleaning up. I could finally look around my new cabin.I was surrounded by glass, you could see all the sky scrapers surrounding the office and truly this was a sight to see.It was not so large but medium, and to me that was enough.My desk was in the middle of the room and then I saw that black gown I always dreamed of.It hung on the wall in the right corner of my office.It was now real, I took steps towards it and took the fabric in my hands, I looked up at the ceiling.I was lawyer now, my dreams had just come true but then why did my heart hold no excitement at the moment.I sighed when I heard a knock on the door and turned around in time as a
Chapter SevenBeing around Kenneth made me relax, he didn't even mention our morning encounter even once as we talked through the case, I even got to know that the girl who reported the case was trying to make him pay for saying no to her.She seemed to had been a gym member and came from a rich family.I also noticed that he was a lively person who loved to joke around and make every one around him smile, even though there was a problem he didn't give it much thought.He asked me not to worry and kept telling me that he will win the case." Do you want to have lunch with me, I can order something " he said pulling his phone out and I nodded.I watched as he dialed a certain number on his phone and made a call.I didn't know why but I couldn't stop my self from watching him.He was truly so handsome, a beautiful smile, and a very beautiful
Chapter EightBeing in the arms of the man I love made me realise the kind of happiness peace and comfort I was going to miss out, I realised my stupidity for judging Gale; for being scared of loving a man that loves me this much.I slowly raised my eyes looking closely at his face as he leaned his forehead on mine with still closed eyes, our breaths rugged fanning our faces.“What’s the meaning of this ?” he whispered and I couldn’t help another giggle, his eyes flew open looking d
Chapter Nine I sat by the table in the diner far next to the window as I stared out while taking a sip of my vanilla yoghurt. It was already lunch time and Gale had asked to meet me here. I was glad that Kenneth had stopped sending me silly messages and disturbing my peace, it’s like allowing him to be a little close to me was the worst idea, he just couldn’t stop his craziness.As I was lost in thought, Gale walked in to Maggie’s diner, the bell above chirmed at his presence making me look up. He
Chapter TenI didn’t know what to think as my jaw almost dropped in shock, I wondered if seriously Gale was thinking straight. Don’t blame me, we have been in this relationship for only one day and his asking me to move in together with him. People have a saying that things are moving too fast but can we call this fast anymore, this was over whelming.Seeing the way I was looking at him he understood and a small smile graced my lips “ Your thinking about our relationship not lastin
Chapter ElevenDarkness, was all I could see.The pain in the air that was suffocating me, the pain of losing love and a person that you love. The stupidity of love around me, I pulled my knees to my chest as I wrapped them around me rocking back and fourth.“ Gale “ I whispered to the man standing in the far corner of the darkness.“Please “ My voice shook with a whimper as I lo
Chapter Twelve The streets had started to became empty as we walked hand in hand, the cold winds blew more and I tugged at Gale’s hoodie that he had brought for me, he knew I wouldn’t agree for him to be a gentleman and give me his jacket so he came with a hoodie in hand and now we were both secure from the cold, we kept chatting along and teasing making me forget the earlier events of the night. As we rounded, the corner I felt my heart drop at the sight in front of me, I raised my eyes and looked up at Gale who h
Chapter ThirteenThe anxiety I felt when we strolled in to the beautiful building almost could suffocate me, I was so anxious that I held Gale’s hand tight. I was finally going to see the kind of apartment we would be living in together, the fact that it came from Gale’s heart made it more precious and dear to my heart, we used the elevator and reached the fifteenth floor immediately, We walked until were standing in front of the penthouse’s doorGale looked at me and slowly pinched my n
Chapter FortyAfter three years I was finally stable again in my life. I had heeled completely and well life was moving on, after that day when all I did was shout at Rebecca I managed to calm down for a while and went back to see her.And well though we weren't as close as before we are at least friends once again and all that happened in the past can't be changed.It isn't easy to forgive but I knew that in my way to a better life this had to happen so I would visit her every weekend just to show her that I am still by her if she's really
Chapter Thirty NineAfter waking up I thought that healing would take a long time but to my and my doctor's surprise I was healing at a first pace, chemotherapy didn't thrash me like before and am so glad about it.

Chapter Thirty Eight" No " I whispered softly shaking my head, I didn't want to do all he was saying
Chapter Thirty SevenI looked up at Gale, my eyes locked with his while my hands tightened around the flower banquet that I was holding."Gale Hilton do you take Amelia Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish. To respect her as your woman and to stay by her side in richness and poor, in sickness and health until death do you apart ? " Gale turned to look at the magistrate then back at me " Yes I do " he replied with a smile of his own."

Chapter Thirty SixI stared at the beautiful girl in the mirror for the umpteenth time, her dark hair up in a curly burn with tendrils on both sides of her face. Her emerald eyes stood out with the highlight of mascara. They had grey specks in them that sparkled like stars of the night, her lips enchanting with the pink lipstick while her skin was glowing.She was wearing a beautiful white dress that stopped above her knees, its straps sleeveless with a V shape at the front and the back, with a white belt after the V and then a wild skirt.With white

Chapter Thirty FourI know me and Gale had already set everything for the wedding, mother Pauline said she would be able to get a beautiful dress for me and am glad I have her.Maggie and Jennifer offered to cook and prepare the most beautiful party for us, I knew they could manage cause I didn't have that many people to invite.I had also sent a card to Kenneth, I was really suspicious of him but because we have the same blood in our veins I was so willing to forget all that he did and try to make things right.In
Chapter Thirty ThreeBeing at home to recuperate isn't easy especially if you're not used to it, there's no more waking up so early so coming in late, the only thing to do is sleep.Though I hate this, it has kind of helped me and Gale to fully mend our relationship, it has given me a chance to know more about him that I didn't know from the beginning.But in all this I never felt any kind of regret or anything that makes me think otherwise of our relationship, he was my perfect man and well I could see a better future in front of
Chapter Thirty Two"Then... He brought me here and showed me this place though I was still intent on not taking this offer but I had to when I discovered that this was left to you by your mom " Gale added feeding my curiosity."What ?" I stated looking around this place once again."Mommy left this for me " I asked again, today must be my lucky day since it's only good news since morning."It's one of those properties she left for you, Mr. Rogers promised to come in the morning and explain everything to you" Gale a
