Stay tuned...
Two weeks laterAutumn is doing a lot better, fiscally that is. As for her memory, it's still gone. I kept Richard company for most days and the moment Domenic and his family were with Autumn. The only downside of being here was that I couldn't get in touch with Alex. I tried calling her many times but she never answered me. I even told Sasha to gently remind her to check her phone but he says that even he doesn't get to see her much anymore because she spends all of her time with Enzo. It seems only now I understand why he bothers me so much. He was after something even I didn't understand I wanted. But I won't waste any more time. Autumn goes home tomorrow, Richard already set up the helicopter to pick them up. Even Domenic. He managed to wile his way into their house. In his defense it seems like Autumn wants him there, so they give him a chance.But that means I'm going back home today. And no matter what I will see Alex. My heart beats so fast in my chest that I feel like a teena
Nothing, absolutely nothing in my life has ever felt so right. Right now, this moment, Alex is in my arms, her lush lips against mine. There was nothing soft or tentative about it, it was driven by passion, desire, and love. It was love that made this feel so whole, so complete it made the rest of the world around us fade away as I drove Alex back into the wall making sure there was no escape. The kiss was hot and electric sending my heart into overdrive as I could hear its beating in my ears along with Alex's moans and silent fighting for the air we both were able to catch in the middle of our lips breaking and connecting. She tasted sweet, like caramel as my tongue brushed against her not giving us a chance to break as my hand never left her neck making sure we stayed close.Yet it didn't seem enough to me, I wanted more... I needed more. So I tried to scoop her up by the thighs, wanting to feel her wrapped around me but Alex caught my arms and pushed me back. She searched my eye as
"I dont believe you. The Alex I know would never kick me out of her life like that." Nor would I allow it to happen, I refuse to live a life where she isn't a part of it. Because there isn't life without her, ever my earliest memories of life are filled with her. Without it, I lose myself. "You obviesly aren't listening to me. I told you that Alex is no longer here. Even before you left for NY I decided to change, and it's not about you... it's about me. I want to go back to the place where my every decision didn't revolve around you, back before I got the stupid idea to fall in love with you. Back when I was happy, when I was free when I was able to have fun and not care about a man." Alex talks but she doesn't look at me anymore, she looks around the room as she taps on each of her small, delicate, pale fingers as she makes a point in her speech. It's almost as if she had this exact conversation beforehand in her head and she finally got the opportunity to let it all out."You can b
Walking out of Alex's apartment yesterday was hard. I went there with only one purpose, to get the love of my life. The wasted time, the opportunities that were missed, all the signs that were there all these years ignored, how big I screwed up. And I only had myself to blame. But the more I thought about it I realized what it was, the fear we both probably had. If we said anything and the other didn't feel the same it would ruin the friendship we had not to mention the connection with Sasha and the rest of the family. I just hate that my mother didn't confront me about my feelings sooner. How pathetic I am, I even found a way to blame my mother. Like that would ever get by in court.Autumn is coming home today, it's not that I needed an excuse to be there but I knew Aunt Eloise would do anything to bring her family together so Alex would have to be there whether she liked it or not. I got to the house and I wanted to wait inside but Mrs.Hendrics kept a really close eye on me and Alex
..."Do you need help carrying her?" Richard asked Domenic as he took Autumn in my hands to carry her up the stairs. "No need, I got her," Domenic said as he continued walking up as Richads eyes set on me. "Adam, a word, please. In my office." He said as he turned and walked knowing I dont have much choice but to follow him. I enter the office as Richard pores two glasses of whisky and slides one across the table toward me before sitting down. "You know that ever since Alex's and Sasha's father passed away I took it upon myself to fulfill that role, to watch over them. Especially over Alex..." He says as he takes a sip. "With that being said, what the hell was that I saw at the table?" I didn't know if he was angry but what was sure is that he was not happy either."I'm in love with Alex." I blurb out. "And I know that must come to you as a shock because there was a tiny moment of confusion where there might of been a misguided intention to be with Autumn... which I know was very v
Alex's POVHe got me back in my bedroom squealing like a little girl. I was furious, his touch was doing to my body what I always imagined he would, drive me crazy. Not that I necessarily imagined him touching me under the table while my family was around but Adam knows how to be resourceful and he knew perfectly well that in that situation I wouldn't be able to react. I waited for something like this to happen for years, God knows how many times I dreamed about it and how hard I wished for it. How ironic is it that exactly when I decide to try and leave him behind something like this happens. It almost makes me wish Ive given up sooner.Our first kiss happened when I least imagined it, but it was by far greater than any fantasy or any expectation I ever had. It felt like an explosion of fireworks that only left me wanting more, thank God for the little pride I had left that made me able to resist him. Even if I wanna give in the doubt would eat at me. I can't trust his feelings when
I can't believe I'm about to hide a man in my room from my mother. I didn't do that even when I was a teenager, but this situation with Adam is complicated enough that there is no need to bring her into it. "Just a moment!" I yell as I get out of Adam's embrace and look around trying to decide if I should make him go out on the balcony or stuff him into the closet. "Come here," I whisper as I take his hand and lead him into my closet. "I swear if you so much as breath loudly I will end you," I say as I close the closet door and rush to unlock the door. "Yes, Mom," I say as I stand at the door thinking that would keep her out but I was very wrong. "Since when do you lock your door?" She asks again."I dont know, I didn't realise I did it. Did you need something?" I asked as I positioned myself casually in front of the closet. "I wanted to ask you to stay home, you made it a habit to stay at the apartment lately but with Autumn now home I think it's better we all stay together." No
... "Who the fu*k is Marcello?" If this was Adam jealous, I hate to admit that there is a part of me that likes it. "A friend," I say in a tone that might lead him to believe otherwise. "Alex dont go playing games with me. I hated Enzo even before I was able to understand my feelings for you, you have no idea the hatred another man could awaken in me if he so much as looks at you the wrong way. Even I still dont know just how far this love could take me if someone tries to steal it from me." I'd lie if I said that his words weren't getting to me even tho it was hard to focus on them when all I wanted now was to be crushed under his weight. "Dont worry Adam, no one can steal what isn't yours." I thought I was being smart, even funny. What I didn't count on was the flicker of something unknown in Adams's eyes as the words left my lips."Are you sure you're not mine?" Adam asks as he traces my neck with his cold fingure, over my collarbone down to my chest and my breast starts to rise
