"So how is it going with Lexa? "Brittany asked as she sipped in her glass of wine that i just refilled for her.
That's something that had been nagging me for quite a while now. Sitting here at the top of the roof with the sunset view in Chef Molly's, away from work and all the disturbing reports on my company from the media. I just wanted to let go for once and enjoy this moment with her without having to worry about the rest of the world.
"Not good "i reply honestly. This is going to be really harder than i thought.
"How are we going to do this then? "she twirls her glass and her fingers giving me that look that I'm all too fond of.
"I don't know really "my voice sounds almost defeated.
"I just don't think this is going to work out if you still keep waiting on her. You know she still blames you for Katherine's death right? "
"You don't need to remind me of that "my voice slightly raised causing it echo a bit, considering the whole place was empty, and other than the soft music playing in background, our voices are the only thing you would hear. It was supposed to be a romantic date, but it's not feeling the least bit romantic now. "I'll get her to understand and she will, i know it "
"No she won't "
"What are you implying? "something told me i already know where this conversation is going. She moves closer taking one of my hands in both of hers. Her strawberry blonde hair framing perfectly around her face and perfect plum Chery lips curve into a bright smile as she flaps her lashes at me.
"Can't we just go through with this? "blue eyes staring into mine "without her?"
I should have known that is what she was going to say. Slowly pulling my hand away from hers, i let out a heavy sigh. "you know i can't do that "
"Why not? "
"I can't Brittany, I've made up my mind, i don't want to make the same mistakes i made in the past okay, I'm trying to start afresh with my daughter and this is the first step to everything. "
"I know that! I do, but she doesn't even consider you a father Andrew "it stings, hearing her say it like that stings but i know it's true.
"Then I'll make her "
"Till how long! "her brows crease and her lips form into a small pout "we both know that as long as Katherine is not coming back, and you keep waiting for her to come around then this--"she uses her hand to emphasize between both of us "---isnt going to work !"
She sucks in a sharp breath. "i don't want this to turn into an argument hon, but I've been wearing this..."she gestures to the gold diamond ring resting on her finger "...for over a month now and we haven't even started making wedding plans yet. "
Her words sink in, and i know it's true.
I mean it's not wrong for a father to want approval from his daughter first before her actually decides to settle down with another woman first right?
"Just give me a little time " i plea. She always wanted a quick wedding, if she had her way we'll probably be running around from Italy to Puerto Ricco on our second honey moon.
"And what if she's still resistant? Would you still want to marry me? "
I stared her down, showing no form of emotion on my face. Would I still want to marry her? Of course, she's beautiful, she's white, she'll be a good benefit to my business and i still get to keep a clean reputation. Besides, i love her, or at least i think i do.
"I'ld be crazy not to. "

"Ice cream? "I asked stepping into the usually busy ice cream parlor here in Granville, which surprisingly isn't really busy today.Looking around i spot Michael behind the counter handing a vanilla cone to a little girl holding on thigh to her mummy's hand, shinning his perfect set of white pearls at her encouragingly.It's been long since I've seen him and been in here."Just what you need "Kyle plays a soft smile while pulling my arm to the platform. Every step we took the overwhelming smell of chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, banana and pineapple filled my nostrils and makes my stomach turn.I didn't even realize i was hungry until now.

Stepping into this house was like an empty void filled with unwanted memories and hate. Every passing day that i had to sleep here and pretend like everything was alright was like a blow to my stomach."Aren't you heading back?

Besides i don't want you blowing up my phone every five seconds and begging me to come keep you company "I just shake my head and roll my eyes. He does this sometimes.

LEXA."Posters are out already! "Alice exclaimed as she pulls out one of them from the notice board. "our final exams are just three months away !"she said flipping her platinum hair over her shoulder with a small pout on her red lips as we walked over to the cafeteria together."Already? "i ask.I'm not prepared, after the hole slacking thing in my last chemistry test, i don't know if I'm ready to jump into finals now. I've been so busy with work and everything else that i barely have time to study now."Yeah it's all over the school walls, and I'm not even half way ready "she sighs and i throw her a glance "okay, I'm not ready at all " a defeated look passes her face.

"What did you do? " i whisper to Alice referring to the little stunt she pulled back in the cafeteria. After she left with Finn he hasn't showed up to me again... Yet. And I'm starting to wonder what the infamous Alice Neama did to get rid of the all so famous jerk of the century.She simply shrugs and winked at me going back to pretend to listen to what Mr Louis whom i personally prefer to call humpty was saying.You can't blame me for striking up a conversation during class. I mean it's history, even I can say that i never listen during this class, although that has something more to do with the old humpty we have as a teacher, because trust me I'm not the only one.The guy just literally keeps talking to him self none stop, and that is all he does.

Violet.The corners of my full lips bloom out a vibrant smile of satisfaction as I stare at my petite frame on the long mirror in front of me. Picking every little detail I admire how beautifully the silk violet dress clings to my body from the low cleavage that gave a rather tempting view of my now full and perky breasts to the tight clog at my small waist and down the expanded length of my slender but vividly dangerous curves, and then along the long slit from the top of my thighs and down to my feet adorned with a beautiful silver strap heel.A smirk forms on my lips.I feel sexy.Utterly and undeniably damn snatching!I have to say, Mother Nature truly did a fine job on me over the years. I've become thicker in the busts and thighs but unfortunately my behind has sworn to it's creator that it would never, under any circumstance increase by a swell.

"Dance with me." Kyle says to me.It's not a question, it's a polite order. I have no objections, I can't even if I wanted to. He has me entirely transfixed and compelled with his touch and the depths of his stare. Just as he circles both his hands around my waist and invades my personal space till we're both sharing the same oxygen, I wrap my tiny arms around his neck and dig my nails into his over grown hair. "Did I forget to tell you that you look delicious?" I say to which he lifts a brow up at me while chewing on his lower lip. "Like I could eat you."The sound of his chuckles causes a minimal grumble in my belly....or maybe it's just in my head. But then he drops his voice in that deep masculine melody of an English accent "can't deny I'd love that."My cheeks hit up at his words, knowing the meaning doesn't represent one of innocence at all. I bury my head on his chest and just let him cocoon me in his embrace while I listen to the the steady rhythm of his heartbeat and we danc

I'd have run us over if Kyle didn't switch gears. How in heaven's name did he expect me! Someone who has never been behind a wheel ever to drive us both safely? We had to pull over somewhere by the roadside and switch. I let him take control of the wheel and I sat there acting all grumpy and shit. Murmuring to him words somewhere along the lines of leaving me to drive and leading us both to our graves. He'd only laughed it off saying something about my friendship with Alice robbing off on me, although he looked terrified. My guy had to stand outside the lonely streets for a good thirty seconds catching his breath and holding his throat in pretense of false suffocation, making those weird constipated faces he's fund of. And he says I'm the dramatic one. Now it's past nine at night, and I'm standing right here in front of my school.... or bet

"Lexa!" The moment I step past the front door, I haven't even found my way completely inside the house when Caroline ambushes me and pulls me into a bone crushing hug. "Oh, here goes..." I awkwardly wrap my hands around her back trying not to give out the fact that she's literally restricting me of oxygen. She pulls away slightly then pinches both my cheeks with both of her index and tomb fingers. "How are you feeling tiger?" "Alive." I say baldly and she doesn't seem satisfied with my response. "I have some aspirin in the top shelf if you're in any pain, and I can ask the girls to draw you a hot tub, I'm sure you must be exhu..."

"Surprise?" I say with a small smile on my face as I make my way towards Kyle who stands by the passenger door of his red Porsche, looking all glamorous and clean in a white turtleneck long sleeve and green army pants matched with his huge pair of Dior leather foot destroyers as I like to call them. He pulls himself up and a little smile brushes across his pink plum lips as I close in on him. His eyes are being shaded by the big ray-bans he has on and although he has on a clean haircut, gone is the disturbing piece of white fabric that were guarded around his head about two weeks ago, he didn't trim the front which gives the blowing wind an advantage to dance with his hair. "So," I say stopping directly in front of him. "What's the surprise?" "Me?" He asks, cocking his head to the left a little in the goofy way in whic

Taking the first step by the entrance, my eyes immediately shoot up to the welcoming calligraphy full of glittery colors that reads 'Katie's sweets' by the top of the building and I let out a satisfied sigh, along with a brief smile that takes over my facial features. Redirecting my attention to the entrance, I walk up the narrow stairs and feel my brows crease when I notice that, unlike the last time I was here, the seal on the entrance door has been removed and the lock is hanging loosely by the hook. That makes my frown grow deeper and next thing I'm walking faster to see what's happening on the inside. The place is dark I would probably trip and fall if it isn't for the provision of midday light illuminating rather dimly into the open space by the extended half-glass walls on the other end of the bakery. My nose scrunches up a bit when I in

"He hasn't said much." I say sipping into the straw of my already almost empty smoothie cup while taking a stroll on the busy park of Granville. "I think he's still a bit traumatized." The dark skinned man beside me speaks up, equally sipping on his own cup of coffee as we walk side to side, stopping for a while by a bench and we watch for a moment. A young mother helping her kids down the slide as they giggle in so much excitement, screaming something about going again and again. She has a vibrantly contagious smile on her face it's like her lips are begging to be split in two judging by the wideness of her grin. The scenery strikes a warm feeling in my heart and I can't seem to take my eyes off them. "I mean...." I suck harder into the straw which supposedly is now making obvious noises to alert me that

My eyes twitch, the blur goes on for a few seconds and when I think I can finally fully open my lids, I welcome my vision with the sight of blinding florescent lights only to shut my eyes back. My head hurts. It feels like I've been run over by a truck when I start to feel the pain stretch from my head down to my arms, back and every bit of my limbs. "Fuck!" unconsciously the word falls out of my lips and I try to pull myself up only to get held down by a callused hand. slowly I reopen my eyes and try to adjust to the light, then I turn, my gaze resting on the huge chocolate brown hand resting gently on my arm. My gaze shifts, slowly trailing the face of the hand that rests on mine and my eyes are met with the dark ones of my father. It feels like compulsion but for some reason I can't seem to tear my gaze from his. I search his eyes and what I see in them makes my heart skip a little faster than it

Slowly and steady the clock ticks. Over and over again it goes, singing a steady rhythm to my ears it becomes almost like hypnosis. The only thing I have been able to focus on the entire forty-six hours I've been here. Twenty-two hours since I made that call to Kyle, an entire hour of physical torture from the aggravated cultists that decided to use me for boxing practice, and this time he was not interrupted, not by anyone and definitely not by the blonde dude..... this time he seemed to actually be enjoying it. I sit here by the corner of a wall, all beaten up and feeling useless, hoping dearly with every ticking of the clock that someone would show up to save me. But as the ticking stretched longer and longer by the second, my hopes began shutting down in correspondence to my eyelids.
