Ellie.
There is something about water that reminds me about the yingyang theory. Simply put ; through every good there is bad and through every bad there is good. Every element has its strengths and weaknesses. The same force that gives life, can be the same thing that can cause destruction.
The sea or any body of water can be your worst enemy and your best friend. The ebb and flow of the ocean reminds us to; let go and breath in and out. Same concept applies with sex. Sex is powerful. It is a transfer of energy between two people who love each other on all levels used to create life. Any transfer of energy has a price ... The same transfer of energy used to create, can be the same energy used to destroy.
I didn't have my guard up when I went to the family home. I didn't expect Dexter to just snap and attack me brutally . The last thing I remember was being c
MaxIt has been three long weeks . The sports event that Ellie and I organized had come and gone with a game played in her honor. The only reason I hung up my boots was because I wanted to be home more often and spend time with Eleanor and the baby. We have no baby and Ell seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. The Luca's can't find her too. Daniel said he would ask his brother in law to be for his help. He also invited me to their wedding. I have the dream job; but I am incomplete. I can feel it in my heart that Ellie is alive. With the technology we have I don't understand why we can't find her. I won't stop searching . Daniel was invited to dinner with an old friend, Brent. They lived in the Massa estate which was two hours away. They went to medical school together and their father's are great friends. I wasn't eating well and I needed to get out for a bit. Salvatore was away on business so I had no one to talk to .The lake house
EllieI said my full name. I cannot believe I said my full name to a stranger. What is wrong with me ? Andrea is an angel . I am Eleanor. Something about the guy she came with felt safe ; secure and it felt like home . Andrea looked at both of us and smiled . We both smiled back and she said;"I need more tea, be right back ."I looked at the guy again and without hesitation he kissed me . My body knew him because against everything inside me saying run , my heart told me to stay and get to know Maxwell . He was crying when he pulled back ."Oh I believe in miracles.""Me too. Are you okay?""Hmm .""Should I know you? I was involved in an accident and I have no recollection of who I was."" I do . You are my girlfriend ."I took a deep breath and sat down" I am your what now?"My heart was strangely calm ." Girlfriend."I looked at him" Prove
MaxI worry about Ellie . I seriously do. She's come back home and she had a welcome back home party. Sandra has had a change of heart towards her since she recently spoke out about Dexter and his threats. Sandra has actually moved away to raise her daughter in a different province . Salvatore was nice enough to get her a new Identity, and oh my ex Betty is going on baby number two with Garry. He deserves whatever he has coming to him. He has aged within a couple of months and he comes to my office to complain day in and day out about Betty and how she constantly stresses him . I am just thankful I dodged a bullet . Ellie remembers us and she is doing okay . She mentioned again this morning that; I look like my father and it doesn't scare her anymore. If I want to grow my beard I can...While she was in the shower t I went through her phone. Her password was my name and my birth date. I know this because I asked her and she told me. Marc had been ta
EllieSometimes love isn't enough. I say this with a heavy heart because I remember that I hit lights out last night, and the reason I am regretting my life choices is because I may have hurt the man I love . What was supposed to be an open conversation turned out to be a judgmental session and I was the one who ended up hurt , because of the bullets Maxwell was shooting from his mouth. I had gone through hell with Dexter before. I didn't care if we broke up because I didn't love him completely and he didn't have my heart. I care at the moment because the person I hurt has always had my heart and It feels as if I have not only lost my best friend , but teammate. I woke up on Saturday morning with the mother of all hangovers in my bedroom at the family home. I was wearing the dress I had on the day before , which was a v neck LBD . I looked at my mirror and I looked as good as I felt... like hell . I got cleaned up and went downstairs , the ki
MaxNo matter how hard Ellie tries to hide something ; I always find it be it , physically or emotionally , I poke until she comes out with it. She suggested we go to Saturday mass instead of Sunday because, the gossip and rumor mill was turning. She ended her friendship with Maria and I couldn't be more happier. She has also found a new friend in Cleo who happens to live in the same Estate as we do. She is Daniel's sister , who is in love with Angelo Massa . I have never liked any Massa , but Ellie invited them to the house warming this Saturday which was tomorrow. I am friends with Salvatore and it will remain that way. During guys night out yesterday Daniel invited him . He already popped the question to Cleo and she is six months pregnant with a baby girl. They also have twins. I have met Pio and Pia; they are both adorable and Pio seems to like me more than her sister who is shy. I try not to cry but I do that when Ellie is fast asleep. I go downstairs to t
Chapter 28EllieI've had nightmares before; but not as intense and as real as the one I had a couple of hours ago. I hadn't told Maxwell that I had a run in with his father at the fresh produce market. I had driven back into my home town and touched base at the orphanage before I went to go get some milk, cheese, vegetable and fruits. I didn't recognize him until I bought a milk tart Max always loved when we were young. His father's family owned a farm and mass produced various deserts including my favourite blue berry cheesecake. Max's aunt Maxine was always at the stall and we had a great relationship . Even when Jeremiah went off the rails , we still talked. Maxwell's relationship with her wasn't okay and that worried me. He wouldn't talk to me about it then and now he has a habit of closing off and going cold. I was feeling iffy about telling him. I was planning to talk to him over dinner before we prepped for lunch tomorrow. I ne
MaxEllie has a way of distracting me. She hasn't lost her touch not even one bit. I thought we were going to discuss her doctor's results , but we ended up in bed again and , I kind of thought I was the one with the stamina but she surprised me. Usually she is the one who is up before the birds chirp but, this morning she was fast asleep next to me . I would have known if she slipped out of bed because it was cloudy outside and a bit nippy because we were on the top floor. It was going to get hotter . I realized what disturbed me from my peaceful slumber when I looked across the night stand . Ellie's phone had an incoming call and she wasn't waking up any time soon. I gently untangled myself from her and walked to the other side of the bed to retrieve her phone and walk out the bedroom to her study. Daniel was staying at my apartment and he said that he'd help out with the housewarming in terms of food and drinks .As soon as I made i
EllieMax placed my phone on my desk , and looked at me with sad eyes . I could be so mad at him right now, but I can't be after what I just heard . Maxwell never confused me . We've known each other since we were kids, and every time he pulled that look he knew he was busted . He turned the swivel chair around and placed his palms on his face. I was wearing his blue superman shirt that went up to my knees and I was still feeling the effects of the stuff we got up to all night last night. I walked to where he was and knelt in front of him ."MJ?""Ell?"I slowly peeled his palms off his face and he looked at me with tears in his eyes . I placed my palms on his face and wiped his tears he sat up and I sat on his lap and gave him a hug and he held me close." Hey it's okay you don't have to tell me everything at once my baby love."" I do because you're my best friend and teammate . "I pulled back and
