44: Taking care of temptation
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
~Lao Tzu
And just because I was trying to avoid Rogue, today before it was close to dawn, I showered and got dressed for work and here I am.
"I know, I didn't want to be there when you woke, bad things that feel good always happen."
I can hear him chuckling at what I said, "So you're running away from me?"
"Yes, I am," I answer without a feeling of shame whatsoever. I am scared he is changing me and in a few weeks, Lucas last will in testament will be read and missing work as well as arriving late for meetings wouldn't give me such a good image especially if the company and a few others become mine.
"Jeez, I didn't know I was such a bad influence." He mumbles out.
My nose twitches a little at his word, "You're a

"I am an artist, my hair is rarely tamed & sometimes I sleep till noon, My house is messy and I speak to the moon. I care less about the materials that I share with my world and more about the passion inside myself. I'm an artist, what more can you expect? I am full of soul, love and all the rest."Nikki RoweZander picks a can of coke from the fridge and tosses it to me on the before returning to the yam he's currently boiling on the gas. For dinner today we are having boiled yam with tomato and egg sauce. One of the few things I love about Fridays. "I haven't seen your crazy boyfriend in a few days, did you two break up or something, cause if you did I should have heard the news on TV already."It's been a week since Rogue left for La Paz and I only heard from him when he landed and used their line to
His Dark Desires 46: Not moving on
"You never fail to amaze me. Every day there is something new that makes me love you even more than the day before."~AnonymousI hear footsteps running down the stairs and I know it's Zander coming to get something and Havana and I share an alarmed look. I'd convinced Havana that Zander will not be coming down anymore only to end up being proven wrong. How was I to know that today of all days, he'll decide to do the exact opposite of what he normally does? "I'm not going to interrupt whatever you're not doing, just going to get a glass of water and head back to my room." He announces sharply, disappearing into the kitchen and not even bothering to look our way which is a relief.After a few moments he walks back out and walks to the stairs before pausing, he makes a quick sniff of the air, "Weird I can almost swear it's Ana's perfume." He murmurs to himself before turning over to where
His Dark Desires 47: Against all odds
Love is the expansion of two natures in such fashion that each include the other, each is enriched by the other.Felix AdlerAfter my alarm went off at 6 am, I get up to my daily exercise and workout section although in the past three weeks I've been experiencing a slight set back and weakness, I know I will kick back in no time. Once done with that, I shower and dress up. I put my long, red, Ankara gown which has a side front parting up to a little above the knee and which holds me in all the right places and displays the little curves I was blessed with. I pick out my black four-inch heels to go with it and for my hair, I decided to let loose.Today is the day I've longed for since the past two years, it's the day I finally gain my independence. Lucas final will in testament will be read today after the calculation of our set requirements, Alvin, Jacob and

"Even after most said it was over between you and me, I still to this day, never shut up about you. You’ve got me wrapped around your finger."~Anonymous 20 minutes later"How long is the test running going to take?" I ask impatiently as the doctor who has been introduced as Zaki Tarfa opens his medical box and begins to bring out his things."It's a few minutes test, don't worry we will be out of here in no time.""We better," I mumble as I come to seat on the centre couch in the parlour.Gabriel stands and watches as Tarfa brings out a small note and scoots closer to me on the couch, "Can you tell me the symptoms you're feeling? And some of the illness you've been having?"I drag a very slow breath in before speaking, "Nauseousness, dizziness, a little fever and weakness and then today I threw up."
His Dark Desires 49: The change we need
"Love is the product of how you respond ... Love is showing your partner they're safe, you'll catch them if they fall, and you'll drop everything if they need you. Love is unconditional. Love doesn't keep score."Shane Parrish"Ten years ago.""Ten years ago?" I find myself echoing back a question, completely lost between surprise and confusion.He looks up at me, "Yes!" He responds with clear certainty.This changes everything I think I've known over the last couple of months I've known Rogue. I stopped searching up things about him because the results always were the same, nothing. Knowing that Edet knew who Rogue was ten years ago makes me wonder what other things he knows about him. I begin to wonder why rogue would not tell me about his relationship with Edet, it not too much to ask? If Edet knew him, does that mean Lucas knew Rogue ten years ago? If yes how come he hasn't said anything about it?
His Dark Desires 50: Thinking about his wife
"Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening."~Emma Thompson"Alexa I hope by now you're stronger, wiser and a much better woman from the one I know you to be. The world is a cruel and tough place and I think by now you already know that. You make me so happy and I wish that that will never change, I hope that you find someone to make you as happy as you make me. It's fine to make mistakes, but always be ready to get back on your feet afterwards. I also hope that now you have found another way of handling Alvin and Jacob's mean insults apart from crying. I know you'll figure it out, you're that smart."I chuckle mildly and tears run down my eyes at how much Lucas thought about me even after his death. He wanted me to be happy, to be loved and to be stronger. I wipe my tears away and mouth a little thank you."I love you so much Alexa and boys I

"If I am to be fallen into love, I will.And if as a result I will appear to bestupid, disillusioned, and of poorjudgment, I will. And I would bedamned if I cared what other people think. For I would rather be thought of as all of these things, than not love. If in loving, I become the naked woman on the horse, I will ride that horse with my head held high. This is my spirit. I am unbreakable."C. JoyBell C.Gabriel slowly touches my arm and I turn my attention to him, "Your name in the document is Alexander Black, not Paige." He points out."Yes, Lucas expressed how he wanted you to keep your name and add his only if you wanted to," I answer before getting lost in my memories.Flashbacks
