Aaron
A wise woman once told me that; there is no such thing as coincidence, you're either meant to cross paths again or meet at a later stage. I am messing up what she said and she would correct me if she could. My day was eventful and I hadn't anticipated it to end the way it did after what happened. When I called Lexi she picked up and didn't hang up on me . I told her that I wanted to really see her and I was invited to a dinner I almost forgot about but Amy called me and I said yes. It turns out we were invited to the same dinner and I was seated next her. She looked amazing with the pink top and her hair tied up in a pony tail .Her eyes looked a bit swollen but she looked beautiful. I hated myself for what happened but as long as my sister is in good hands and my son is okay ... I am fine ... well half fine because I missed my girlfriend. When I made it to the restaurant with Amy; Tina , and Gavin on time and we were seated after getting Amy
#song -Major -why I love youAlexisThere is something about big cars that make me fall asleep . The last thing I remember about last night was coming home with my baby love. I love him so much and I am thankful for him .I took a deep breath and opened my eyes . I needed to know what time it was and where was I? My watch was off so were my shoes and pants. I wasn't in my pink top but I was wearing a sky blue crew neck sweater that went up to my knees . It smelt of normal fabric softener. I used the essential oil variant . It was a bit chilly because of the rain last night and besides the fresh memory of the dinner that happened last night ; I felt all warm and fuzzy inside because I was with Aaron. The wind was howling outside and it didn't make sense because, it was summer to come think of it and there was a cold front. I reached out on my bedside; stretched and slid the covers off . The bed was huge and the décor
AaronI am a very happy Man . My son is happy , I have the an amazing girlfriend and its almost time for summer holidays. Tina is still hanging out with Mia and pretending to be something she isn't. Gavin loves her and he is willing to doo anything including going to couples therapy. We were both invited to Bryan's Gala dinner . He was still with Sarah and he was going to propose to her tonight . I wasn't okay with Simon Nathan Lindsey being in the same room as us . Mary was recovering well and they told me that she would be out soon sometime this week . They told me they'd let me know .Lexi is the best thing I never knew I needed until she happened . She is the right woman for me . I know this because my son isn't scared of her in anyway ; in fact they are good friends and that's a good sign. We missed her when she had to go back home; so a couple of weeks ago I gave her the extra set of keys I had . Mary had her own set; so did Dave
#Song Martin Garix - So far awayAlexisThere comes a point in a relationship when you know you want to be with someone for a very long time. There is a thing I do when I need to determine if I really love someone. I imagine a future with them ; it also helps when they are always keen about talking about the future with you.I have been with Aaron for six months and he asked me if I could move in with him. I didn't want to rush into anything and Aaron has been patient with me. He also gave me both keys to his apartment and house at Massa Estate. I really want to move in with him but truth be told, Caleb is making it hard for me. He hasn't had any problems with Abro and me until I told him a couple of days ago. I told him; I was thinking of moving in with Abro soon, and he brought up Simon.He opened up an old wound with good reason. When I fell for Simon all proper reasoning went out the window .
AlexisI couldn't say what I wanted to say." What, do you have feelings for me is that it. What now that you see me with someone else and your boyfriend isn't all that clean...I cut him off mid way;" Na ah don't throw stones I love him . He did what he had to do to survive. He has been through enough already." What fucking . That's what he did right?"I felt the urge to protect Aaron." Ryan what has gotten into you. He is your friend. "" Yes and your lover. I can't watch you waste your life with him. Have you any idea how I've been feeling for the past six months?"" No . ""Exactly."" Then tell me . I am so sorry you had to find out about your girlfriend this way."Ryan ran his hands through his hair and covered his face . Without hesitation I gave him a hug; he hugged me back and started crying..." She told me ab
AaronI've done stuff in the past that I am not proud of. If you've ever been in a situation where you're not given any choice but to go into survival mode ; You go into survival mode ,and will do almost anything to make sure the ones dear to you are taken care of. Blood is sometimes thicker than water. I didn't have any extended family or a rich aunt who left me a fortune. Any job I took I made sure I put in a lot of effort ; including my side hustle. When I couldn't make ends meet ; I was introduced into a world that could and did help me. I was given a card by a lady who asked me to join her escort company at the golf club I worked at... truth be told I needed the money and I needed to get my sister through High school and save up for her college tuition. The day I said yes; was the day I didn't regret . Mary was my only family and she came first no matter what. I didn't anticipate opening up to my ex girlfriend Mia would result in me being judg
Aaron" No they are about to serve dinner . I will meet you inside . I need to go clean my face up and redo my make up."For the first time for duration of my relationship with Alexis ; I felt like I was a stranger to her within seconds she had put up her titanium wall and walked away.I made it back to our table and everyone was okay .As soon as I sat down Bryan looked at me all remorseful l and I grimaced. Within a couple of minutes dinner was served and Lexi was missing in action. She appeared five minutes later from the direction of the ladies room . As soon as she sat down one of the servers brought her dish. She gave me a peck on the cheek and pretended to be okay and started eating . once we were all finished desert came out . It was chocolate cake and ice-cream, with either a shot of whiskey on the side or half a glass of warm milk.I had asked the DJ to play (Lady Antebellum - Golden )earlier
AlexisSecrets have a way of coming out ; if you don't cover your tracks properly , trust the wrong people , or have a forgetful nature. If we all kept a diary full of every little thing we did and didn't want the world to know, it would be worth finding once you're gone from this world and moving on to the next. There is a rule with secrets. You have to come clean to the person you love about what you did and pray that they get that it was your past; you don't live there anymore, You have changed, and the same behavioral pattern wouldn't repeat itself because you learned your lesson. Some secrets you cannot tell . For the longest of times I had kept a childhood secret from my own blood . I told that to the father of my unborn baby ... but not everything .I didn't want to hit stone walls every time we have to get intimate. I swore to myself when I was a kid that; what had happened to me as a kid then will stay under lock and key in my brain a
AlexisAaron lifted both my legs and put them on his lap. He looked sexy with his overnight stubble . When I looked up at him my heart broke. His eyes were filled with; worry, panic, and sadness. It was unlike him to take a rain check on anything we had planned together."Can you please get better friends than Zane?"" We are in the same circle and I've always been friends with him. You haven't gotten to know him. He went through a lot. This is unlike you. What aren't you telling me?"I looked away and he gently swayed my face towards him and gave me a lingering kiss on the forehead ." What are you talking about?"" I know the past weekend has been hard on us. You never judged me harshly or run away with some guy .Whatever it is we can work through it. I can feel it in my heart. Something happened with Zane in the past . Caleb is as confused as I am as to why you don't like the guy. He is very affable and has a good heart. He
Chapter 51AaronBalance is the most fundamental aspect of life. whether you want to admit it or not every action or event ;evokes some sort of balance. At a point where I thought everything was coming together again, everything started falling apart. I knew my son was angry when he found his mothers pictures in a box of things I kept of Lara. I was going to give it to him on his birthday , but he found it when he was looking for something . The first question he asked was ; why did Alexis have similar features to his mother. I told him ; it was a coincidence. He snapped out of the blue and told me I was lying, he said; you are a sick selfish human being. I sat him down after his rant and I told him everything with regards to what happened when he was five years old. I also told him that I fought hard to get him back , and that I was sorry . We were still on moody terms with each other. He was moody and irritable if not mean to me until the accident happe
AlexisI am not afraid of dreaming. I am afraid of staying awake and not allowing myself to dream big enough and believe that I can do ,and be anything I want. Even a super shero. I am also not afraid of waking up and dealing with the fact that I have an unfinished life, that I still want to live and make the most out of it…When you are living you constantly ask yourself if you are doing enough? When you are going you ask yourself if you did all you wanted and was it enough. When you’re gone what you never did is done and in between those three steps; your whole life flashes before your eyes.When I rolled down the stairs; I was afraid . I was afraid that I had failed my unborn baby by not keeping him safe, afraid that my relationship with David was never going to be the same , and more than that I was afraid that I had robbed my brother of becoming an uncle and Aaron becoming a father again.
AaronIn a split second everything can change.After leaving Alexis alone to prepare lunch , because Mary was held hostage by her crazy roommate who injured herself . I made the necessary arrangements to bring my sister home and hire in a caregiver to make sure she was stable .I dropped her off at the pent house and told her I would see her tomorrow. On my way back Lexi called me and I told her I was on the way. I had taken a short cut to get to the Estate because I was worried about David.He was behaving strangely this morning before he went to hang out with Angelo. Cleo had also called me to ask if everything was okay with both Dave and me. Truth be told we were not okay. He was mad at me because I apparently do not consider his feelings. When I asked him if he missed Alexis he didn't answer me he just went to the games room ,and to top it all off he locked the door so that I couldn
AlexisWe only appreciate something after it has been taken away from us. We are often told to be thankful for every little thing, and I always say; being thankful should be habitual.Sometimes we don’t know how good we have it until something happens, and your world is turned upside down. I have a theory . “Tragedy” has a way of bringing things into focus. The process is there for a reason and however long it takes; you will learn the lessons that help you either elevate your levels of perception and trust your sixth sense, or open up a door to more questions that lead you to the right answers, and hopefully you can find a way out of the maze you have been trying to navigate. We are here on purpose. Sticking to the task at hand is a given, the only time we falter is when we focus on other peoples blessings instead of ours. Success comes in different phases and forms. Learn to wait your turn and trust in God&r
AaronAlexis is really unpredictable. Her unpredictability can be both exciting and unsettling at times, but it makes sense at the end of the day.When I entered the house Alexis was walking around barefoot in my kitchen looking serious. She got the hint earlier that I wanted her in our home. When she recognized my presence ; she smiled and blew a kiss at me , and for a moment my heart skipped a beat and fell in love again. It was already mid afternoon and I hadn’t eaten so; so I headed to the kitchen to go make lunch for us both.I didn’t have much in the fridge but I had enough to whip up a meal. Usually I would ask Dave what he wanted , and he would order it in. I cooked for him every now and then but, I could tell she missed Lexi as much as I did. She planned meals and she made sure we all ate as a family with Mary included. She took a seat on the comfy stools in front of the counter and loo
AlexisThe toughest conversations are the ones we’ve never had with our heart. Conversations with heart are always honest; pure, real and non pretentious. It is a non judgmental zone where you can bare all without any fear… The heart always knows the truth no matter what condition it is in; your heart will always lead you to the right answer . Your heart will always lead you home.I have had moments when I’ve doubted the very love I believed in.The day Simon Nathan broke my heart was one of them, the other was the day I lost Ben, and now… Now it’s whether or not I love Aaron. For the longest of times I have struggled with letting anyone in or talk about how I really felt about a situation. When I got together with Aaron over the time we were together, I had lost a part of myself. In my head I foolishly believed that true I had to sacrifice a part of myself to be with him. Tr
AaronThree weeks laterMary relapsed again. I blame myself for that happening. Ever since the shooting I have been recovering very well and I am healing.Christmas was different this year though. Mary was okay until she lost it at Cleo for no apparent reason. Sarah was also shocked and as I suspected she gave Lexi hell in Cape Town. Lexi had been away and I hadn’t seen her in a long time a month to be exact and May went as far as blocking her on all accounts. Carl and the Perelli bunch joined us for the Christmas lunch.Alexis was six months pregnant and what hurt the most was missing out on a lot of things. The shooting wasn’t her fault .When I called CT he told me; She was out and she didn’t want to talk to me about anything. I knew that he bought a house just down the road and I had the innate feeling that Lexi was around. Our connection was and is always strong .
44AlexisFeelsFear is the enemy of courage. Courage is what we have, when we look fear in the face and tell it to go to hell and stay there because life is calling. When life calls we answer ; however when life happens we react. How we react can determine the outcome of the situation. Given what was 'going on I couldn’t lose it and become a drama queen. Drama has its benefits when you want to make a statement ,and when you do make the statement make sure you don’t trip and fall on your face… it happens to the best of us when we least expect. Courage and kindness are not really rare traits. They are embedded in us ; we just need to flick the switch. What courage does is give us the power to overcome and with that comes understanding. Through understanding you learn to see a situation for what it is and take a gentle approach in helping someone. Kindness has never lost a battle or war. Coupled with hum
AlexisMan downIt happened so fast. It happened so fast that; I didn’t have time to recognize that I was caught in a cross fire between the guys that Carlo and Aaron were shooting at. All I saw was smoke and Carl swearing. It wasn’t until I heard a loud thud on the floor that my heart stopped. Security had come through and a couple of other guys who had the same ring as Carlo . As soon as the smoke cleared Carl bent down to pick me up and give me a hug.“ Hey honey are you okay?”I nodded and looked for Aaron.“Aaron Carl where is Aaron?”I pulled back and looked at the kitchen island . I couldn’t see him .“Aaron!”Carl let go of me and ran to where Aaron was. My heart was already beating fast but it broke when I saw Aaron lying on the floor with a
