…Lexi POV…
We have been planning for this for almost a day; I have been waiting for it just a slight bit longer. This is the day that dreams are made of. It should be the happiest day of my life.
I have dressed for the part, a classic white princess dress with a modern twist, a beaded lace bodice with a thin beaded belt, a dreamy and voluminous tulle skirt that gorgeously flares out underneath. My porcelain skin is composed to perfection, and my hair is tucked neatly into place. And to finish off, a pair of stilettos that hug my feet and glimmers as it shines.
This is my wedding day.
…Lucas POV…
This is it; I stare at myself in the full-length mirror. I am dressed to perfection in a black tux with a white designer collar shirt. It is silky to the touch and just as easy on the skin. This feels right; this is what I want to be.
We have been preparing for this moment; this is the hour; this is the minute my life will
...Lexi POV...The things you go through now, the heartache and the pain, the smiles and the laughter, prepares you for your fate, for your destiny. All the if's, the why's, the will's and want's, brings you what you ask for. So when you ask for something, make sure to be clear, or you may land with something you asked for but did not really want. If you the lucky few, you will get what you asked for but receive a whole lot more, a whole lot that you did not expect but that you realize you actually wanted.Never did I know what love is, let alone being in love. I never thought anyone would ever make me smile, laugh and capture my heart. Never did I think I will fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. Whether it was fate or karma, love found me, and I found love.My journey has come far; at times, I did not understand it, and at times it was really hard. My love was questioned, and my patience tested. I have learned that people a
...Lucas POV...The day has finally arrived.Today the babies are born.Lexi is completely petrified, pacing the room as she is trying to get into her hospital gown. She has been going to see this doctor, but to me, it does not seem that there is any approvement. Now, I have asked her and the doctor what is going on, but neither of them wants to tell me. And as for Tina, Lexi has not told her either.Now she is here working herself up, and believe me; I ain't the one telling a pregnant woman that is about to give birth to calm down. Well, not that she would listen because what I say really does not count, for she does keep on reminding me that we have separated. She does not want to understand my perspective, and I don't know what is wrong with her. At this rate, it is not helping us both.So once she has put on that godawful hospital gown, the nurses come to push her bed through to the operating theatre. Not once does she hold my hand as we move t
Everyone has the determination to conquer.Me, looking over the masses at my feet, I would love to say that my path has finally reached that point. All my dreams and ambitions have led me up to here…So…Breathe… Breathe Lexi… Just Breathe…I am about to make the biggest decision, take that step that will change my life.My best friend, Savanah, is by my side, ready to climb that mountain. From being a model, an actor, or an artist, we have been together taking this ride, and tonight will be no different.But there is one slight problem.We have been discovered. There is the deep voice of a man rumbling from behind over our shoulders, “You ladies are not supposed to be in here.”Our evening of living on the edge has just come to an abrupt end. So I am about to lose sight of my prize. Not that he would ever give me the light of day, for I am surely not the type of girl that he keeps on his
Last night was long and agonizing; somehow, I thought that I would be the one leaving Lucas Lucero with a sleepless night, but yet I proved myself wrong and was in for tortured dreams where he laid only but naked, completely out of my reach.But we will be changing that tonight.Tonight I will be going solo for Savanah has some gig downtown and will only make it way past midnight.So after giving myself a once over in the tall mirror hanging on the far sidewall, I adjust the tiny crop top, and with a few wiggles in the hot pants, I am ready to slip on a pair of deep red stilettos. It is the perfect contrast to finish my seductive image off, and I have on good authority that Lucas has a weakness for a woman wearing red.After straightening my hair for what is the fifth time now, I make my way out of the apartment and will have to settle for my beast to get me where I want to go tonight.I feel the roar of the engine vibrate between my legs as it sen
The adrenaline sings in my ears as Lucas laces his fingers and leads me to where he was sitting earlier. With only but one wave of the hand, every single soul disappears, leaving us completely alone.The burning desire has consumed me as I cannot begin to imagine what it is that he wants. I have perhaps underestimated this man’s power that he has over a woman. Yet, I have vowed to myself that he will not get me under that spell, he will not conquer, it is my mountain to climb, and I will not falter.So as he pierces right into my soul with those hazel eyes, his words come out as a whisper which I can barely hear underneath the thunder of music coming pumping through the speakers. With a gentle touch of his hand on my knee that nearly cause me to freeze in time, he speaks, “Please just let me for one second?”I cock my head and try to smile without complete frustration, “What is it that you want?”“Baby doll, there is so
As I stretch every toned muscle in my perfect physique, I feel it burning in my core. Today is going to be a disaster, so I only but pull the blankets over my head and turn onto my side to go back to sleep. But that idea is very short-lived as Savanah comes bursting through the door.And yes, as I snap at her, she knows that today is going to be one of those, so she only but looks at me and shoves the paper underneath my nose, “Come, we have to get this. Come, Lexi, get up.”I throw my hands in the air and try to politely wave her off to leave my room, yet she does not listen, “Come on, Lexi, we are not going to get another chance like this.”I grunt at her as I grab the paper from her hand; she has circled an advertisement in thick red pen under classifieds. “Dancers Wanted.”Well, it does not say what type, but it is at the most popular Club in New York City. As we always say, you got to start from the bottom and work
I am standing in Lucas Lucero’s office, snapping at every comforting word that he is trying to say to me. The irritation and angst are consuming every rational bone in my body. There is only but pure blackness in an already near to boiling head. I feel like I am hovering helplessly over my body, watching each ticking second how I slowly unravel into pieces.There is a fear in Lucas’s eyes; I am unaware if he is afraid of what I have become or what I might be capable of doing. Yet, apart from that hint of fear, there is that clear confusion that he has no idea what has taken me over.This is not how I pictured bringing Lucas Lucero to his knees. Right now, the man that wanted me last night wants nothing more than to be away from me as far as possible. Or is this what I perceive in my head for fuck knows right now, the only thing my head can compose is the one curse word after the other.I feel so helpless.And god, I am angry.I am helpl
I watch as a very hopeful Lucas stares at me with eyes that I can almost say they are begging. Yet, there is that biggest part of me that fuels that little voice in my head, “Don’t say yes! Don’t say yes!”And for at least once today, I listen to the voice of reason even though the feeling of his lips is still very present upon mine. So I only but give him a shy smile, “I will think about it.”With a raise of his brow and a tiny wink, he speaks underneath his breath with that husky voice, “Please don’t leave a man hanging, baby doll.” And as he spins around on the heels of those designer shoes, I get nothing but an eye full of his tight ass. Much to Savanah’s surprise, I most embarrassingly growl from the depths of my chest.I only but wave her off before she even has a second to raise her voice, “That fucking ass is goddamn tight Sav. I had two very gener
