Alton's POVShe fell silent, looking like a lost kitten. I reclined her seat and swiftly moved my body on top of hers."What are you doing?" she nervously asked, but she didn't push me away.I saw desire in her eyes, which made me smile playfully.I leaned in, making our faces a few inches away from each other. I could feel her hot breath on my face, and I could smell the liquor in her mouth."What the fuck are you doing, Alton?" she asked, anger evident in her tone, but it contradicts the desire that reflects in her eyes.Her breathing became heavy as I got closer to her."You feel guilty, right, for turning me on," I said without breaking off the gaze, "you should be held responsible, Solana, in calming it down," I whispered.She swallowed hard but didn't even attempt to push me away.I leaned in once again, making our lips touch. I didn't move nor claim her lips, I just let them touch."Push me away if you don't want this, Solana," I whispered while our lips were touching.She didn'
Solana's POVI guided Alton to my office. I open the door and we both stepped inside.I turned to look at him. "You think you can fit on that couch?" I said pointing at the small couch inside my office.Alton smiled and nod his head. "I bet it can even fit two people?" he said with a playful smile playing on his lips. I rolled my eyes at him and stepped out instead of losing my patience with him.The moment I stepped out I saw Briana looking at me with a teasing smile playing on her lips.I rolled my eyes at her and raised my eyebrow. "What?"She just smiled and shook her head then continued arranging the clothes on the rack.After a few minutes, some customers started coming in so I focused all my attention on entertaining and attending them.I spent my hours talking to customers and when lunch came I excused myself and decided to order some food for our lunch.I decided to order pasta and once done I headed back to my store carrying a paper bag that contains food."Briana," Briana
Solana's POVI stay seated on the couch having no plan of leaving and when Alton realized that I won't leave he stood up and headed towards his room.I can't leave him here knowing that he is sick, my conscience can't take that.I stayed in the living room for a few minutes before I decided to walk towards his room.I held the doorknob but just by holding it, I was taken back to all the memories we made here.I shook off my head brushing away that thought. I let out a deep breath finding the courage to open the door.After a few minutes of contemplating I slowly open the door. I quietly walked inside and I felt at ease when I saw that Alton is already sleeping on his bed.I roam my eyes around his room and it is still the same room that we used back then. Nothing changed at all which made it hard for me not to think of those moments especially the intimate one.I felt my throat run dry and cold sweats forming on my forehead. I shook off my head brushing away that thought.I quietly ro
Solana's POVWhen I woke up my hands started searching for him but my side is empty and upon opening my eyes that's when I found out that I am alone in the bed.Maybe he already left for work.What if he still has a fever?My mind is filled with questions about Alton as I stepped out of the room. I headed towards the kitchen and my eyes widen when I saw him in the kitchen cooking something.I thought he left already."Good morning," Alton greeted me when he saw me.I smiled at him and walked towards the kitchen since I can't walk away now that he already saw me.I opened his ref and took cold water.Alton handed me a glass so I smiled at him awkwardly and took the glass in his hand.I don't know why I am acting this way maybe because we slept together last night.I sat on the bar stool as I drink the cold water."I just fry bacon and eggs and toast some bread, is that fine with you or do you want me to cook something else?" he asked looking at me directly in the eyes patiently waiting
Alton's POVI stared at her completely confused.Did she mean those words or she just said those because she is sad?Or maybe I misheard it?Did she say that she wants to marry me?I am lost for words having no idea if I should believe her or not.Solana smiled at me and then turned her head to her father's portrait."Dad told me that I should allow myself to be happy," she said then turned her head back on me, "that's why I said those. I want Dad to know before he peacefully rests that I am finally allowing myself to be happy," I didn't remove my gaze from her. I just stared at her face and listened to every word that came out of her mouth."I know Dad has been waiting for this to happen to finally admit what I feel and set aside the fear that stops me from choosing happiness. I'm sorry for continuously pushing you away Alton," Solana then held my hand and smiled at me."You know what? I once told Dad that all the people that I loved the most always left me but you know what he said?
Solana's POVAlton decided to spend a night at Dad's house and his presence somehow ease the sadness that I am carrying.After dinner, we headed inside my room. "I'll just take a shower," I said.Alton smiled and nod his head. I walked towards the bathroom and decided to take a shower. When I am done I stepped out wearing my usual nightwear. I saw him scan me from head to toe but after a while, he cleared his throat and brought his gaze back on my face.He appeared nervous. I saw his ears turning red then he stood up but he looks lost and I have no idea where he plans to go after a while he pointed at the bathroom."I'll just take a shower," he said then walked towards the bathroom like he is in a hurry or something.While Alton is taking a shower I decided to dry my hair while staring at my reflection.My eyes are swollen from crying. I smiled at my reflection and let out a deep breath."Smile Solana, Dad won't like it if you keep on crying," I reminded myself.I missed Dad. I want
Alton's POVI helped Solana pack her things.It took us an hour before we finished and once done we stepped out of her room carrying her luggage.When we reached the living room I saw Beatrice and Allison waiting for us.They immediately pulled Solana into a tight hug and to give them privacy I stepped out of the house and put all the things that we had packed inside my car.After a few minutes of waiting, I saw them stepping out of the house.Beatrice smiled at me and gently held my hand the moment she got closer."Take care of her," she said so I smiled and nodded my head. "I will,""Don't you dare hurt my sister, Alton," Allison added which made me chuckle.I looked at her and held Solana's waist."I won't do that," After bidding goodbye we drove towards my unit. "Where do you want to build our house?"Solana turned her head on me and stared at my face intently. "I want to live in Massachusetts," she said.I smiled at her and nodded my head. I reached for her hand and planted a
Solana's POVDays passed and I felt the happiest. I feel free now that I am with Alton.I no longer hide what I truly felt about him."Let's have dinner later," he said before I stepped out of the car.I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Okay," I gave him a quick kiss and I thought that was enough for him but he cupped my face and claimed my lips once again, this time longer.I slapped his chest when I was out of breath. I glared at him...panting. "That's too much," I complained but his smile erased the irritation that I was feeling.He caressed my face and stared at my eyes. "I'm sorry Love I can't help it," he reasoned out then gave me a quick kiss."I'll pick you up later," he reminded me before I stepped out of his car.I waved my hands as I watched him drive away. When his car disappeared I headed inside the mall so I could help Brianna in opening the store.When I reached the store Brianna was already there and a teasing smile was already present when she saw me."What?" I ask
Solana's POVI felt a cold breeze brush my skin as I walked on the shore.The wind brushed my hair and every time I felt its soft embrace I was at peace.It was the usual morning.Crystal blue water.Cold breeze.Fresh air.And them. My family.When I saw my daughter waving her hands at me I waved back and walked towards them a smile never left my lips."Hi Mommy," she happily uttered when I sat beside her father.I opened my arms and the moment I did that she immediately sat on my lap leaving her father."You little traitor," Alton uttered as he playfully pinched Aisha's nose.Her giggles filled our ears. I hugged her tightly and showered her with kisses."Mommy it tickles," she said while laughing so I stopped and made her face me.I stared at her face and brushed off the strands of hair that covered her face."Are you ready to go to school?" I asked.She pouted her lips which made me smile.I can see that she is not yet ready to attend school but she's already four years old so she
Alton's POVI still feel like I am living in a dream.Everything feels too good to be true.I just imagined this to happen and now that it finally came true I feel the happiest.Waking up every morning and being greeted by my wife's beautiful face always put a smile on my face.She looks angelic to look at and I will never get tired of staring at her.The sun is already shining brightly but I am still lying on our bed waiting for Solana to wake up.When I saw her slowly open her eyes my smile grew wider."Good morning," I greeted the moment her eyes met mine.She smiled back at me and stared at my face for quite some time."Good morning," she greeted back.I gently caressed her face and kissed her lips softly."What do you want for breakfast?" I asked.She paused and thought for a while before her lips rose for a smile. She must have thought of something she had been craving to eat."I want avocado toast with lots of strawberries,"I looked at her in disbelief but I guess I need to ge
Solana's POVHappiness. Contentment. Love.That's what I felt as I walked down the aisle.A smile is formed on my lips while tears are about to fall from my eyes.I can feel my heart swell in happiness. Everything looks perfect.Everyone close to our hearts is here witnessing how we will be finally joined in front of God.It was no longer forbidden. We no longer have to hide. We finally found our freedom to love each other without any limitations.It took us everything to get here.I lost my career when I allowed myself to be drawn to the fire of our forbidden love.My mother whom I tried to please my whole life disown me.I lost my friends.My fame.My money.My success.But I found myself.I found peace.I found happiness.When I lost everything and I was on my downfall I thought I was being punished but little did I know God was redirecting me. He is making me realize what I want in life.It's not other people's attention nor the blinding spotlight but peace and a life filled with
Solana's POVI watched her as she walked towards us.I can't believe she's here."Why are you here?" I asked not because I didn't want her here but because I was shocked that she managed to go to Massachusetts without telling me."I want to see you bitch," she said then pulled me into a tight hug.When Kris broke off the hug she stared at my face intently. "I'm happy for you," she said with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.I know she is. She has seen how much I suffered when I tried to hide my relationship with Alton.She held my hand and gently squeezed it before turning her head on Alton. "I'm happy for you too Alton," Alton nodded his head and smiled at Kris. I know Kris witnessed how Alton suffered when I went missing for five years.She was there to help Alton cope. She became our anchor during the worst times.She was there to help Alton find me and to make Alton feel that he wasn't alone in believing that I was still alive."It happened so suddenly and I didn't get th
Alton's POVCold breeze.Sound of waves.Beautiful sunset.And Solana.I wouldn't complain if I would spend the rest of my life here...as long as she's with me.We can build a family here.I am tired of living in the city anyway. I want peace."Let's live here?" I asked while gently caressing her hair.Solana turned her gaze at me and looked at me directly in the eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked.I smiled at her and nodded my head. "Let's raise our kids here. We'll watch them play at the beach. Creating sand castles while we are having our morning coffee and when night comes we can have a bonfire,"Her soft laughter filled my ear. "You plan everything out?" she asked.I smiled at her and gently held her hand. "It's has been my dream when I met you,"I planted a soft kiss on her lips before turning my gaze back to the ocean.After a while, Mary called us for dinner.We walked towards their house and upon seeing their table I couldn't help but be amazed at all the food they had prepared.
Solana's POVThe morning breeze brushed my skin.I haven't opened my eyes yet but I already know where I am upon smelling the fresh air.A smile grace on my lips as I listen to the sound of the waves and my smile grew wider when I felt his warm lips on mine."Good morning," he greeted me the moment I opened my eyes.I stared at his face. I'll never get tired of looking at him. "Good morning," I replied."Let's have breakfast?" I got off the bed and walked towards the glass window where I could see the beautiful sunrise and crystal clear beach."How long had you been awake?" Alton held my waist and hugged me from behind. He rested his chin on my shoulder and buried his face on my neck.I giggled when he started planting soft kisses on my weakest spot. "You smell good," he said as he sniffed my neck."I just woke up,"He's exaggerating it. I know he just said those words to make me smile and it worked."I love your natural scent,"He continued kissing my neck while I softly caressed h
Alton's POVA smile slowly crept on my lips when I heard her say those words.When I could no longer contain my happiness I pulled her into a tight hug."I am not sure yet Alton," she said worry evident in her tone.I broke off the hug and stared at her face."Let's buy a pregnancy test then," I suggested.Fear crossed her eyes so I held her hand and gently caressed it."I won't get mad whatever the result will be, we will just check it,"She let out a deep breath and then after a while nodded her head agreeing to my suggestion.While driving I held her hand. It felt cold so I caress it.I know she's scared to disappoint me. We are ready to have a baby. We are eager to have another child and we always pray for it to happen but if we are not yet meant to welcome another blessing then it's fine, we will just patiently wait for our angel to arrive.After buying the pregnancy test I drove towards the condominium building where we are currently staying.The moment we stepped inside the uni
