Stay tuned...
"How many candles is too much?" I asked myself as I took a look around the living room all the way to the dining area that was now illuminated by the warm candlelight while holding another candle in my hand trying to decide whether one more would make a difference. "One more won't hurt." Not at this point. "Popcourn is done, pizza hot and ready in the oven, wine chilled," And my favorite part... "cupcakes set on the table for dessert." I take a glance at my watch to see how much time I have until Alex arrives. Fifteen mintues is enough to go over everything one more time to ensure everything is perfect.I moved her art materials down the hall and threw many pillows on the floor. And even tho she has a pretty big television I managed to hang a white sheet over the wall and set up a small projector with a romantic movie set up waiting for her. There was a small bouquet of sunflowers on the counter that I adjusted to face her as she walked in when the oven beat and I went to take the
"You think she might cause problems?" I ask Alex as she shakes her head. "I dont think so. Not if her goal is to stay in the house once she moves in." Let's hope Richard gets a good grip on the situation before it gets out of control- "Enough about that, how was your day? I see you were busy." Alex says as she gently smiles before taking another sip. "It was horrible, I was missing you terribly." It's funny how one person can consume you entirely, passing through each and every thought you have. What is even more incredible is how suddenly they are your motor for going, you get that rush that just simply wasn't there before. "I'm very glad to hear that, I hope you miss me horribly every time I'm not there with you. So now you will get to feel what I felt every time I wasn't able to see you." It is still unbelievable to me she was able to keep silent about her feelings for so long. "At least let me in on the secret, how did you do it? How did you manage to control your feelings?" A
"A part of me was looking for something I wasn't able to find in the woman I was dating so I stopped for a while." And then as time went by I stopped looking altogether. "But did you... Do you know? Still have s*x, one-night stands?" Alex asks as she lifts herself up a little, pushing on my chest while sitting on my lap straddling me. "I'm not gonna lie to you, Cupcake. I did." I say and Alex takes her eyes off of me but I cup her chin with my hand and make her look at me. "But as you said there were only one-night stands, they didn't mean anything to me." They were simply a night to have a release, careless fun with no commitment. No one's feelings were hurt. "I get it. A man has needs right." A sentence that makes me wonder if there were ever other men who took care of her needs."What about you? You also didn't have a boyfriend in several years, but I imagine there were moments when you needed your needs to be satisfied." I ask as I run my hand down her neck as my fingure drops w
"Adam, I can't have kids." Out of all the things I could imagine this wasn't one of them."Why... What makes you say that?" My mind makes a few spins as Alex grabs her shirt from the floor and puts it on over her head."I've known this for years. Basically, I have endometriosis. It is a form of tissue that grows on my uterus and last time I went to get a check-up they told me it damaged my fallopian tubes... long story short pregnancy is not on the table for me." She says it like it is nothing but I can see from the way she holds her breath that this is not a topic she plans on discussing now."I'm sorry. Cupcake, I'm really sorry." Why was I apologizing so much?"This is not on you Adam. Calm down." Alex scoots over to put her underwear on but when she wants to stand up I stop her and bring her into my arms."Hey, I didn't mean to upset you." I worked so hard on this night to be perfect only to ruin it in a minute."You didn't. I just... I never told this to anyone before." "What?" I
"Leo is Aunt Rachels's adopted son. He is also staying at the house." Alex says as she carefully peals off the paper wrapper from the cupcake. "I can't believe Richard let two strangers into his house." He has always been cautious about who he lets close. I have no doubt in my mind he was forced into it, my best guess is she cornered him with Autumn. She is his only weak spot. "Trust me the tension in that house can be cut with a knife. We are planning a wedding for Autumn and on the other hand, there is this whole deal with Alice, apparently, she found a way to come closer and everyone is walking on eggshells thinking Autumn isn't noticing it." Not having her memories didn't make her stupid. I'm sure that Autumn can sense things even if she doesn't understand them. After all that is how she fell in love with Domenic again, deep down, buried somewhere she still felt him."Is Leo causing trouble? Why did you say Domenic has to worry about him?" Alex shakes her head as she bites into
Alex POV"Adam. Baby wake up." I say as I pull out of his arms. The candles had all burned out while we slept and the warm light was now replaced by the sharp sunlight. "Come back." Adam tries to pull me back in but I wiggle out of his grab. "No can do. I'm already late for breakfast and I have to get back before mom starts a search party after me." When the right time comes there will be mornings where he will have to beg me to let go of him. Hopefully soon. "I can drive you." He sits up as I throw his shirt on his chest. "No, I came here with my own car and that is how I have to get back." Otherwise, they will question me and I will have to lie to them. "Fine, I'll stop by your place later today after I'm done with work," Adam says as he gets up and pulls me close. "I am going to miss you terribly." "I sure hope so." I run my hands over his toned chest before he loves his lips on mine. I love the electricity that runs over my body every time he touches me, it's like only then i
Mom was very annoyed and whenever she was annoyed she would tent to her garden which is where she stormed off to the second her foot left the dining room without even doing so much as pass me a word.So in a way, I have to say thank you to Aunt Rachel, she just avoided me getting questioned.Now I was in need of a shower yet as I went to the stairs I noticed Uncle Richard standing outside with Leo. Talking. I might be wrong and I can't say this out loud in front of my mother but something tells me Rachel and Leo aren't searching for trouble. And I feel like we need to give them a chance, Autumn did.I started walking up the stairs when I heard Sasha and Domenic talking. He must have sent Summer off rather quickly."... Yeah, my friend is searching for a good doctor yet he is quite keen on talking about his problems. He feels like asking for help from that kind of a professional would make him seem weak." Sasha was obviesly talking about himself yet what surprised me more was that he wa
"How about this one? It's like the one Kate Middleton wore but you know, more pregnancy-friendly." I ask Autumn as I show the catalog from my favorite designer salon. There is a little girl inside of me enjoying this so much... I honestly dont know how I will ever be able to pick anything for my wedding... if I ever get to it.For now, I have an appointment on my mind that could really decide on which path my future goes. And I dont know what I'm hoping for or what my odds are now yet every time I see Autumn pass her hand over her pregnant belly something tightens in my chest. What exactly does that mean, I dont know."I like the sleeves, but I'm not so sure about the neckline." One thing was sure and that is that Autumn was getting seriously overwhelmed so this would be a good time for a break. Hell, after staring at so much lace material I'm starting to see spots."Why don't I go and tell Mr.Hendrics to bring us some tea and we can look over some more options. I'll be right back." I
