Chapter 88

Author: Maria Anita
The game room at Patrick's place was truly incredible, like stepping into a Las Vegas casino. It had everything: bright lights, roulette, card tables, arcade machines, slot machines - an endless variety of games. Everything was elegant and well-organized.

"Welcome to my humble abode," Patrick said with an exaggerated bow.

"Don't show off, Patrick. There's nothing humble about your house. This is excessive for someone who lives alone," Samantha cut in.

"I just like entertaining friends, Sam," Patrick explained. "Anyway, drinks are at the bar, make yourselves at home. I've ordered some snacks for us. Let's sit down and enjoy the evening."

"Shall we continue with blackjack?" Angel asked, and everyone agreed.

Patrick got the chips and decks ready and set up the table. Everyone grabbed their drinks and we sat down to play. The game was flowing smoothly and fun until we received a message from Virginia.

"It's about to begin."

"Hey guys, these bets are getting boring. What do you say we spice

    "Let the games begin!" Virginia declared.The first round started. Cards were being dealt, and soon Fred busted and was out. Levy also went over, which made Alexander very pleased. At the end of the first round, Angel won with twenty points, and Fred groaned uncomfortably in his chair."Well, Fred, I'm sorry, but I won't waste my opportunity," Angel said, turning to Mel who smiled deviously. "Someone keep time."Angel ran his fingers across Mel's cheek, then moved his hand to the nape of her neck, pulling her in for a tender kiss on her lips."Time's up. Twenty seconds," Patrick Guzman called out hastily.Angel pulled away from Melissa with a charming smile, while she had the most dazed expression on her face. Fred's expression was beyond mere discomfort. Melissa smiled at Angel and then turned to Fred."See, prince, that didn't hurt," Melissa winked at her boyfriend.Everyone couldn't help but laugh. But Alexander whispered in my ear:"There's no way another guy is going to kiss you."

    As we entered his apartment, Alexander stopped behind me, held my waist with one hand, and with the other, pulled my hair to one side while kissing me exactly where Levy had kissed me earlier."No one, absolutely no one but me will ever put their hands or mouth on you again, Catherine. You're mine, only mine. You might be upset, hurt, or angry, but you're mine. And I'm going to kiss every inch of skin on your delicious little body today so you'll remember that and erase any damn sensation that idiot Levy might have caused.""And you, Alexander? Are you only mine too?" I asked angrily. "Or will you keep sleeping with any whore who shows up when I'm not around?""I'm all yours, my love. I don't remember anything from Mari's party night. But we're not going to talk about that now because right now I'm going to kiss you and make love to you and make up for all the time we've missed. And I'm going to engrave in every cell of your body that you're mine and that I love you."And that's exactl

    When we arrived at Patrick's house, the girls were already there and came running to take Peter from Alexander's arms, who got a bit grumpy talking to them."Easy there, you crazy girls! Be careful with my little buddy!""Finally, I get to meet Peter!" Rick commented, approaching with a smile.My son was surrounded by my friends who made him laugh and let out little squeals from the tickles on his tummy, making me smile too! Suddenly he looked at Alexander."Alexander, pool!" he said with his bright violet eyes."Let's put on the floaties and sunscreen first, Peter," I told him as he was already stretching his little arms toward Alexander."Leave it to me, mommy. I'll take care of our boy today, have fun and relax," Alexander said, giving me a huge smile.He looked even more handsome under the sun, with his messy hair, sunglasses, white shirt and shorts, wearing flip-flops - even his feet were beautiful. He took Peter's bag from my hands and busied himself applying sunscreen on my son

    Another week started and flew by. Alexander really didn't keep his distance - he kept sending messages, flowers, and afternoon snacks. What changed was that he called me every night and we'd chat for a while. He told me that after everything Mrs. Margaret revealed, the audit was moving faster, and they were working for a few hours every night at Patrick's house. But he hadn't told me what Mrs. Margaret said, only that she knew a lot but never thought it was important.Melissa established Tuesday as girls' night, so we went to the Social Club again and had dinner there. We always had plenty to talk about, and fun was guaranteed with that group. Samantha had started working with Alexander and was really enjoying the job, although she couldn't stand Celeste, so she had lots to tell us."Seriously, Cat, it's written 'lying, fake, gossiping troublemaker' on Celeste's forehead - how did you not see it?" Samantha asked."Cat always sees the best in people, Sam. I got tired of warning her abou

    On Friday, Melissa, Peter, and I caught a flight to Bellwood. When we arrived, Melissa's family driver was already waiting for us and drove me to my parents' farm, where they were expecting us. I said goodbye to my friend, and we agreed that she would come to see us the next day."Sweetie!" My mother came running to hug me, already in tears."Mom, I missed you so much!""And where's grandma's baby? Come here, my little darling!" My mother took Peter from my arms, and I took the opportunity to hug my father."My daughter, it's so wonderful to have you both home!""Thanks, Dad. It's really good to be here.""Let's go inside, it's already dark. Tomorrow you can explore the farm." My father was clearly excited about the farm.We went inside, and my mother already had dinner on the table. We sat down and had the meal together. How I missed being with them. Peter fell asleep in grandma's arms, who put him to bed and then joined my father and me in the living room."So, Catherine, how's life

    The next morning, we woke up early. The aroma of coffee my mom was brewing in the kitchen filled every room in the house. Peter was euphoric, and my dad took him to the small barn to milk the cow. When they returned, my son had a tiny milk mustache and a blue enamel mug in his hand.We sat down and had breakfast while listening to the birds singing. The house was very spacious and comfortable. It had huge windows, and the fresh morning air flowed through them along with the sunlight.We went out for a walk, and the property was a good size. It was enough for a diverse orchard, a vegetable garden with all kinds of produce and greens, a barn with one cow, a pigpen with two pigs, and a chicken coop with many hens. Peter had fun collecting eggs with my mom.In front of the house, there was a garden full of colorful flowers and a small pond where a family of ducks was playing in the water. The house was flanked by a colonial-style porch, with hammocks hanging in each corner and wooden bench

    We finished shopping and returned. Melissa helped me with the bags and we entered the house calling for my parents. We were putting the bags on the counter when Peter came running out and I heard him shout:"Alexander! You came!""Of course I came, little buddy, I was missing you so much!" I heard Alexander's voice and my knees went weak.When I turned around, the two were in a tight hug, my mom with a huge smile, my dad with a surprised look, and Melissa standing open-mouthed watching Fred walk towards her."What does this mean, Fred?" She asked seriously without hugging her boyfriend."We couldn't stand being away from our girls. And especially from Peter." Fred answered naturally."But I didn't tell you where I was going?" Melissa was angry with her boyfriend."You and Catherine going away for the weekend together? There's only one place in the world where you two would go, Mel!" Fred said smugly.I couldn't speak. I was too shocked. My parents invited everyone to sit around the tab

    After they left, I put my son to bed and went back to the living room to chat with my parents."Why didn't you tell us you had problems there, honey?" my father asked right away."Because I didn't want to worry you, and because I have a friend who's my guardian angel who helped me find another job just as good," I answered honestly."Alexander said you're now working for his friend, but that you'll go back to working with him," my father said."I haven't decided yet. We'll see," I replied."Cat, we just want you to be happy. I like this young man, he has good intentions, he's serious and responsible. He came here and was honest, owned up to his mistakes. He seems like a good man, and the way you look at him, you're in love," my father hadn't missed a thing."Yes, Dad. He is a great man and I am in love," I confirmed."Then don't get hung up on silly things," my mother said. "Forgiveness is good for you, understand that. Pride won't get you anywhere. Don't forget that.""I won't forget,

    "Hey Mel, Henry called me. Do you know what for?" I asked my friend when I entered her office at the end of the day."I don't know, Cat. I didn't even know he called you. I'll let him know you're here." Melissa got up and went into the boss's office, then came back and gestured for me to go in."Catherine!" Henry greeted me with a huge smile. "First, let me say how happy I am that you and my friend have finally reconciled.""Thanks, Henry. I hope your friend doesn't mess things up with me again." I said with a smile."If he does, you know I'm here to help you kick his butt." Henry said firmly."Oh, right! Just like you did this time, spying on us and telling him everything." Melissa mocked him."Oh, Mel, I can't be too hard on him, he's my friend," Henry said like a teenager, making us burst into laughter. "But you can always count on me, Catherine.""Thanks, Henry, it's good to know that." I was sincere because Henry had really helped me a lot by giving me a job and supporting me when

    Alexander’s POVI dropped Catherine off at Lynx World and headed to my company. We had a wonderful weekend. Her parents were great people and welcomed me so warmly that I felt like part of the family. That meant a lot to me. Sure, we had that unpleasant incident with her ex, and her cousin was just jealous. But overall, our weekend was amazing.She came back to me, and that filled my heart almost to bursting with happiness. And Peter made everything even more perfect. If my parents were alive, they would have been charmed by Catherine and loved Peter as if he were truly their grandson.Thinking about my parents still caused me infinite pain and longing, especially after learning that the accident that killed them might have been intentional - that knowledge was like a knife to my chest. I needed to find out the truth. Alan was taking care of everything, and until he had information, I would have to wait and control my anxiety. This waiting was making me restless.When I arrived at my c

    I woke up in the arms of the love of my life. There's no better feeling in the world than being held by the one you love. I was lying with my head resting on Alexander's chest, our legs intertwined and his arms around me. We were naked; Alexander had prevented me from putting on a nightgown, saying he wanted to feel my skin against his, and it truly was the best sensation in the world being pressed against him without any barriers."Good morning, my angel." I felt his kiss on my head and looked up at him smiling."How can you wake up looking so handsome?" I asked, smiling like a fool as he pulled me in for a soft kiss on my lips. "Good morning, my love!""Mmm! I love that sound. Say it again," Alexander said playfully."What? That you wake up handsome? You're the most handsome man I've ever seen." I said with a huge smile."I like hearing that too, but I asked you to repeat the other thing," he insisted."Good morning?" I teased."Are you teasing me, my angel?""Just a little! My love!

    I waited for the guys at the gate and got into the car before Alexander could get out to help me."What's wrong, angel?" Alexander asked after Fred drove off."My mother's sister made an unpleasant appearance. But I'll tell you later, I don't want to stress about it now. Good morning to you both." I forced a smile.Peter chatted the entire way, even telling Alexander how he stuck his tongue out at the "witch," which made everyone laugh.At Melissa's house, we were warmly welcomed. Her parents were crazy about Peter and kept insisting they wanted another grandchild, but Melissa wasn't interested in that yet.After lunch, Mr. Larson called Alexander and Fred to his office to discuss business. Melissa and I did the same thing with her mother that we did with mine, filling her in on all the details of our life in Paradise Port.When we said goodbye, Melissa left home with her suitcase ready since our flight was that evening. We were taking Peter for ice cream before going to my house to ge
