Erica
People often say that; it’s a small world and today ; that saying rang true for me when I went to go9 check up on someone who could easily be my future baby love. I wanted to go see how Alex was doing at the hospital after the accident .
I had been in everyday and there had been no change for the past five days . I had to get a temp in to help Mika out just for the time being because I needed to be there for Alexander.
I also checked on Hugo indirectly because he too was badly hurt. The accident was scary to look at when it made the news both locally and nationally. Hugo was going to get picked to be captain and Alex Vice captain. I wasn’t fond of Hugo , but if he was friends with Alex ; then he must be one of the good ones . The hospital cubical I was in was big enough for both of them, and unlike Alex who had a broken arm and a thigh injury , Hugo had a horrendo

Chapter 7HugoI like Erica .I don't think I like her ... I like her . My mother likes her and by the looks of things ; she is the most affable person I've come across. As for that woman I call a girlfriend I am going to deal with her personally .I saw the look of panic set on her face and I could only imagine what she was feeling. I've heard her come in for the past 5 days , and she has been kind enough to ask Matthew how I was doing and if I she should call anyone .I didn't know she knew my mother . Even though I was hurting at the fact that Chloe had passed on I was surprised to find out that I was a father to a five year old boy. As far as I knew , my face was scarred really badly and I needed surgery , which was going to cost more than my hospital bills . I knew I had more than enough , but since I had a precious gift to take care of. Erica and my mother were asked to leave the roo

Chapter 8 EricaI'm a believer . I believe in what I pray for ,and I actually might be falling in love with Alex Tristan.. he might be loaded but that's not why I am falling so fast and so hard for him.I run my own business and besides; the baking business , I used to be a Sports physio therapist. The sports club I worked for was the same club I met; Matthew and later on Alex . I never got to meet Hugo because when Alex got injured the male physio was off sick .He was the one who would normally fix up the first team .Alex is a curiosity case to me . He is secretive ; intense , sweet, loyal and till now he has been a good friend. I'm no stranger to developing feelings or crushing on someone. With him it was unexpected. The week before he came to the bakery ,he had mentioned that; he was done with playing around and he wanted to settle down . I knew he wasn't perf

Chapter 9HugoI have bad taste in women period. The only time I think I had good taste was when I was with Chloe ; and call it a coincidence if you may , but there is something about Erica that feels right in a fated kind way.She’s not like Lisa and she has a calming effect on me. On the day we almost lost Alex Lisa came to visit me and when I had questioned her as to why didn’t she come and visit me , she used work as an excuse. When I cheated on Chloe I was not in love with Lisa.I was still in love with Chloe. I was drunk when the cheating happened and she saw an opportunity to capitalize on my state and manipulate me in the worst of ways. That included cutting contact between me and my mother.As a result I didn’t know that Chloe had died and she had a baby boy … our baby boy Michael .

Chapter 10 Erica You know what's worse than a broken heart? A broken heart you never saw coming .I get that Alex wanted a relationship ; but in all honesty the part of me that wasn't sure when he made his intentions known; was the part that was the truth about dating him or having any serious relationship with him. Alexander Tristan was a pretty good soccer player and he was also as clinical in the real world when it came to execution ,as well as in life . Apart from the fact that I knew his mother , and she regarded me as a daughter ,he has always wanted me to be with him and I've always said no. At a point where we wanted damn everyone else, sort out our hangups, and become exclusive; he goes and loses his memory after an accident , forgets he ever loved me, remembers fucking his best friend's girlfriend , and me almost having sex with my ex after trying to def

Chapter 11HugoThe hardest part of any healing process is acceptance. It has been exactly three weeks since I came out of the hospital and my life had been turned on its head in a good and bad way .I had sold most of my cars and house to cover up my bills for the knee surgery and hospital stay. I still had a blue cast on my leg and I had to keep it there for the next six months . For the first time in a long time I don’t know what to do with my life It’s both an exciting time and scary phase of my life .My career in football is over and the Club that I thought was loyal to me and was my ride or die ;just decided to turn its back on me. They have decided to replace me, and it was with Alex who remembered how to play soccer . I was going through a lot right now and I needed some sunshine in my world becau

Chapter 12EricaI don't remember anything I did last night. I have always had a rule; never finish a bottle of wine by myself unless I am in real need of repairing my broken heart ... Wait I had a broken heart and I went out for dinner with Mika and the last thing I remember was talking to Luca and Jessica .I'm in bed which is a good thing but it doesn't feel like my bed . The bedding smelled like apples and my bedding usually smelled of peaches .I didn't want to open my eyes for fear of thinking I must have done stupid stuff .The wind was howling outside and I was feeling surprisingly warm for a really cold day .I stretched out my hand and gently felt around the bed . I felt slabs of muscles and it didn't take me long to realise that ; someone's heavy arm was around my waist .I continued to move up

Chaphter 13HugoI cannot get over how adorable Erica looked last night. She had cut her hair and I knew it wasn’t her real hair but instead of the long wavy elaborate curls , she copped the hair so that her curls would look wild.Even qwhen she had chocolate mousse all over her face I she was just the most ; funny and genuine person I’ve come across. When she’s drunk she is all of the above things I’ve mentioned amplified .I really wanted to see her again , but I knew that the bakery would be closed and that meant she wasn’t going to be at the shop , but as luck would have it ; I found out from my brother who is good friends with Erica that, She and I are actually neighbors. When Marc was taking her home with him , he had forgotten to take h

Chapter 14EricaI really love my own space and time alone , but more than that ; spending time with someone who wants to spend time with you and get to know you on a deeper level is awesome . I have known for a while now that Marc loves Cleopatra and he also swung both ways so I didn’t know where I stood with him .All I knew before Friday was that he saved me and apart from the fact that he is open and upfront about a lot of stuff and he is able to keep things under wraps , I actually enjoyed my weekend with him, without the friend zone barrier .If a romantic , intense , attentive , and caring guy existed he was it . It was Sunday morning and after the sexy Saturday I had and the mistake I made of getting drunk in public with Mikayla , I really needed a break .After I got cleaned u

Chapter 24 Erica I hate disappointing kids . More than that I hate disappointing Michael . He doesn’t deserve to suffer because of what his dad did. Hugo hurt my feelings with what he said . I have seen people zone out before , the last time I had someone hurt me physically was when he came out of theatre and thought that it was the end of the world as we knew it. That person later on became my boyfriend ;then husband to be , and then my friend . I could never hate Matthew because of what we had been through together . Matthew was my boss. I was his assistant at the Soccer club. A prerequisite for the job was a degree in sports physiotherapy . I was wet behind the ears when he picked me out of twenty applicants .What had worked in my favor was the fact that I had experience with a little league club in my community and we had actually crossed paths more than once . I honestly didn’t know that he was the guy my brother was going to set me up with afte

Chapter 23HugoI have never suffered from post traumatic stress before , neither have I been caught off guard with regards to the nightmares that I have been having since the accident happened .I have had trouble sleeping but I think I’ve been able to handle it well and up until now . Erica has a calming effect on me , half the time I am not in pretence mode and I can be myself with her . I didn’t understand why Marc made sure everyone knew that she was his and no one else’s until I actually sad down and talked to her.Her forgiving and understanding nature makes it easier for anyone to talk to her and I don’t think I am the only one who thinks that Mikayla doesn’t deserve her as a boss or friend .When the truck passed by the four way stop I flashed back to the day of the accident. I started reliving the whole audile. The truck smashing into the car

Chapter 22 Erica As much as I didn't want to cry I couldn't hold back my tears. Mikayla has a flaw ; she doesn't pay attention to her surroundings and when she focuses on one thing , it's the only thing that matters. I was sorting out tomorrow's orders and packing them as they came in . I was just about done with the last lot when I saw Hugo come in . I also hadn't talked to Marc all day because I left his place this morning without saying goodbye . I would have kissed him good morning and made him breakfast before work but a woman came knocking at his door dressed in nothing but a trench coat and heels, because she was shivering and she thought I was Marc's helper because of my skin colour . She also started blabbering about how she needed Marc's cock and that it was unlike him to just not answer her texts all weekend and disappear without telling her anything. I knew Marc had a busy day today ,and I was going to leave my clothes at his house and head st

Chapter 21HugoI don't know how to handle nerves in an area that I don't have any experience in . Lisa was easy to read because ;she was predictable. When you thrive on attention everything you do needs to be observed by anyone and everyone. I had to adjust to not playing soccer anymore and it sucks to the point where I am struggling ,and I don't want to speak about it I'd rather numb the pain. I was been driven around so if I wanted to have a drink before my meeting I could . Michael was staying over at my brother's house and his show and tell was in Friday .I told Luca to bring my son with him because he wanted to see Erica and given the past weekend and the gossip that was spreading ; the last thing I needed was for Erica to have her right to living a normal life taken away from her. I knew how it felt like to have your privacy invaded.

Chapter 20 Erica The trouble with love is that ; love can be unpredictable and by that I mean, you never know what you're going to get once you have fallen. I have loved and lost before and I have fallen only to find that the safety net had a hole and I landed on the floor on my face in pain , asking myself why the damn hell didn't I do a safety check for my heart. What's worse than thinking that you have finally found someone who gets your kind of crazy and loves all the things you love , Is finding out they weren't the right person for you in so many ways . Marc just blew everything I thought love was out of the water . I thought that he was in doubt but he was in love. After eating breakfast at the diner , he drove us back to the cabin to go pack because we had another two hour road trip back home the following day and he wanted to show me something . I'm familiar with most hospitals because I had worked with soccer clubs before but something about where

Chapter 19HugoI don’t like being part of a scandal or story that would put my private life in the spotlight . I wouldn’t mind when I was with Lisa Rose because she was a model who loved attention at any cost , that included posting pictures o f me sleeping . I mean who does that ? I drool when I sleep how can that look adorable ? Ever since I found out I was Michael’s father , I’ve been doing everything in my power to stop being in the papers.I needed to set the record straight that; none of what was written was true , and so I went online to set the record straight .I told my side of the story and disputed everything written and I also went on to say that: I would be exploring my options with regards to suing for deformation of character and that it wasn’t fair to Erica or my son to be talked about

Chapter 18 Erica I love road trips . Travelling in general is exciting for me because I am a home body . I now know that I wasn’t sure about Alexander because he didn’t seem sincere and I was in doubt before I could decide what I really felt . With Marc it came like a rip tide . You never realize that you have feelings for someone until they admit they have feelings for you and even though they claim to know you inside out ,little quirks included. Marc Jasper blew everything out of the water ,and by everything I mean this guy has made it his mission to know me like the back of his hand . On our way to a town that looked like the Hamptons in South Africa ; Marc and I were stopped by the cops on a Sunday morning . The cops thought that Marc had taken me against my will. The cop had asked Marc to step

Chapter 17HugoThere is a special kind of rush you get when you play a match , or when you are in an arena full of people or spectators .It’s a rush that is addictive. I didn’t understand what the fuss was about when I would watch post match conferences and the player ; who won man of the match would be elated and they would be smiling from ear to ear . I could almost describe it like getting an unexpected gift that fills your soul with unspeakable joy .I can remember it like it was yesterday . The vibration of the arena that is so powerful that the ground beneath you shakes, you can feel it when you walk through the tunnels , and when your boot touches the grass .The electric shock that vibrates through your body is like experiencing an outer body experience that gets you on a natural high . When you are actually on the pitch p
