Stay tuned...
I somehow managed to get to my apartment, get in the shower, change into fresh clothes, and back home all in the record time of an hour and a half. I was determined to walk in casually, I had my story ready for any question that got thrown my way by Sasha, Mom, or whoever crossed my path along with a good excuse as to why I had to leave soon in order to get to the hospital on time. "It's nice to see that at least one of my children was able to find its way home," Mom says as she descends the stairs. Wait, Sashsa wasn't home? I managed to get here before him. Did that mean he spent the night with Chloe? Now I had a ton of questions. "We were out late and it was easier for me to go to my apartment. That's why I have it." I say. "And where did you leave your brother?" Yeah... what do I say to that? I dont want to tell her about Chloe. It's not my place to do so and I won't betray Sasha's trust. There are some secrets siblings should keep for each other not just from each other."Sasha
Adam's POVI returned home after dropping Alex off at the apartment to find the two cups of coffee still on the table just as Rosie left them before I left and I could hear her moving things around in the kitchen. I could dance around this but I do not want to, this is the woman who practically helped raise me. Another thought that came into my head was that now that she knows the secret I could bring Alex here more often, have her here, and wake up by her side without her having to run out the doors like we were doing something forbidden. I walked into the kitchen slowly, the radio was on low and she hummed as she cut the vegetables. "So..." Is the noise that leaves my lips as I lean against the door frame with my side."So..." Is the noise that leaves her lips as she takes the cutting board and uses the knife to drag the vegetables into the pot."There is no need to beat around the bush, Adam. It's clear you two are together, and I am happy for you, as I'm sure your parents will be
Alex's POVDo you know how hard it is to relax once someone tells you to relax? I realized just how hard it was while I waited for the doctor to return with my test results. I didn't know what to hope for. But every time I watched a pregnant woman walk by me I felt an acke around my heart. Was this really something I wanted or did I start to fixate on it because I believed I couldn't have it? "Miss Rodgers, the doctor will see you now." The nurse said and I jumped up from the chair as if I were struck by lightning."Thank you," I say as I pass by her and enter the doctor's office."Miss Rodgers, please sit." The doctor said as she pointed to the chair. Her tone was so neutral I didn't know what to expect."Can I just ask you, are you trying to have a baby right now?" I was a bit stunned, I didn't know what I was looking for right now."Not this exact moment, no. But I want to know what are my chances in the future, when, or if I decide I do want it." The doctor nods her head as she lo
The Hamptons were known for its exclusive luxury lifestyle but I mostly enjoyed the natural beauty, historical charm, and the fact it was so close to NY for whenever one needed an escape and wanted to get lost in the crowd. Here I was known as the princess of the Hamptons, more than money I stood behind generations of class and that is something that simply couldn't be bought. The privileges were big, for one I was never left standing in line or waiting for a table which is why I decided to stop by my favorite cafe for a coffee on the go. No one makes a salty caramel coffee better than "Sunny Suzans", despite the name, Suzan wasn't a hippy just a vegetarian. Also, Suzan wasn't real, it was a marketing strategy that only a few people knew about. The chain of cafes was led by one of the many branches our company held. Suzan was us. What I never expected was to walk in and see Adam. At first, a smile appeared on my face, a smile that vanished as I walked around the corner and saw him sit
I caught up to her just a few blocks down, my breath quickening in the cold air as I reached out for her arm. “Alex, wait—please.” She didn’t stop walking, didn’t even acknowledge me. Her pace quickened instead. "Alex," I called again, more firmly this time. Finally, she halted, though her back was to me. Her voice, when she spoke, was clipped and controlled. "You do not want to test me right now Adam. I need to breathe." I stepped closer, trying to close the distance she was putting between us, but I could hear the anger in her tone. "I didn’t want that to happen. You have to know that." My hands ran through my hair, frustration bubbling inside me. “I didn’t expect her to... do that. I was couth off gourd..." "Stop," she cut me off sharply. "I dont care, if you want that fake booby Barbie to drag her fake claws all over you then be my guest." She wasn’t angry in the way I’d seen her get angry before. This wasn’t just irritation—it was rage. Real rage."I didn’t let it go on,"
Alex's POVAs I walked back to my car I realized I most likely overreacted. This was Adam, he wouldn't lie to me. And what I saw was that that woman was all over him not the other way around, the more I thought about it the more I wanted to turn around and go back to him.One thing I learned about myself was that jealousy wasn't a good look on me, it made my blood boil like never before. This wasn't like the time when I thought Autumn and Adam could have something, perhaps because I liked her or the fact that up until that point, Adam and I were just friends.Now, things were different. I met what it meant to be loved by him and that is something I wouldn't bear to lose. Especially not by some bimbo like the one from the cafe. I was so close to dumping my coffee all over her head. She called him Addy. Uhh, I had to fight the urge not to vomit.He was Adam, my Adam. My love."Alex." I hear a familiar voice calling out for me just before I reach my car."Derek, hey," I say as I stop and
"What's up with you two?" Adam asks again as he walks further into the room."Ohh nothing, my baby sister just received this wonderful bucket of flowers, and I'm about to figure out from who," Sasha remarks as he tries to open up the small envelope when I try to snatch it again."First, I'm not your baby sister. I'm two minutes younger..." It seems I'll never be able to live past that. "And second, what you are doing is called an invasion of privacy," I say but to no use so I turn to Adam, my face in panic should tell him to do something about it."Adam. Tell him to give it back." Or so I thought."He is your older brother, there for an authority. You should really respect your elders." What the actual fuck? Why would Adam want Sasha to see the note? I know what kind of notes he leaves, that is not something I want my brother to read."On that note..." Sasha says, no pun intended... as he goes to read it before I actually have to jump at him to get it back."Adam, catch," Sasha yells a
Adam's POVEight p.m.One might say I already made myself at home at Alex's apartment, but Alex herself felt like home. This was just a place. I sat on her couch in silence just waiting to hear the door open and her footsteps trail down the hall. I went to her house after I couldn't bear the thought of how we last separated, it was eating at my soul. Yet not as much as the sight of those hideous flowers that were sitting on their living room table. Not as much as that note that sank it thets deep in my chest.I tried to hide to hide my discomfort... no that is not the right word for it.Hell, was more like it.Who did this man think he was?What gave him the right to send her flowers?How did he dare to ask her out?She was mine. Mine.Just thinking about it woke up the ugly side of me making me jump off the couch to shake it off when in my turn I met Alex's eyes. I must have gotten so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear her walk in."Hello to you too, I was starting to wonder how long y
