4 -Barely Two Days!

Alex's POV;

I look down at my feet as I shut the door in thought. Just in a corner of my dining room, is a small box containing some of Damon's things.

Some he left behind on days we bunked here, or gifts he gave me. I well could have sent them through his mother, but I want to see him. It's been barely two days since the court gave its final order, and there's already someone trying to get close to him. And he's going to allow that!?

I rush upstairs to my room, grab an ash hood, throw it on, over the singlet and bum shorts I'm in. I grab my car keys, rush downstairs, grab the box in annoyance, get to my car after shutting my house door, and begin my journey to Damon's house.

Third Person's Narrative ;

Alex gets to Damon's house and walks in with full confidence. Ignoring the gaze of the workers around. They are well aware of the drama that the family has been tackling these last months.

Alex is beautiful, and she knows she is. She keeps her pace, steady and majestic as she climbs up the stairs. She begins to what was once she and Damon's bedroom but freezes when she sees a beautiful blonde lady walking out of it. The lady spots Alex and knows right away who she is.

Ava catwalks to Alex, and greets her with a grand smile.

"Good morning, Alex. "

Alex knows this is Ava. Damon's assistant, but it shocks her to see her here. Before now, Ava has never been to their house, but how convenient is it that the second day after the final hearing of her divorce from Damon, his female assistant is here, and that too, in Damon's room.

"Morning. "Alex greets coldly.

Before now, Ava referred to Alex, as Mrs. Hudson, but now she called her by her first name. Alex doesn't like it, but she can't argue.

" Are you here to see Mr. Damon? He's quite busy, and I don't think he'd want any visitors now. "Ava says to Alex, and Alex looks into Ava's eyes. Eyes so brown, they are almost black. She digs into those eyes, and says to Ava,

"You may be his assistant at work, but not here. Understand? "She questions at the end, and Ava's left eye twitches before she smiles and nods. She steps aside and proceeds to where she was going before she saw Alex. Leaving Alex to glare at her perfect figure from behind.

Alex marches to Damon's room, and opens the door in annoyance, without knocking.

"Ava, pass me the red pen in the first drawer beside the bed. "Damon calls on hearing the door, without looking up.

Alex stares at Damon through the glass doors. His glasses sitting on his nose, and his hair falling over his eyes. His full attention on the papers before him.

She walks to where Damon instructed and pulls out a red pen. She moves into the work section of the room and stands before him. Pointing the pen at him.

Damon takes hold of the pen, but unknowingly grabs one of Alex's fingers. Alex doesn't let the pen go as Damon is about to thank her.

"Thank... "Damon begins but stops when he notices the pen isn't being let go. He looks up, and his gaze is met by smooth, fleshy thighs. He throws his gaze up in confusion, as Ava was in blue jeans and a black shirt. Not shorts.

His heart flies out when his gaze lands on Alex's flawless face, and he stands to his feet, as he takes off his glasses.

"You? "He questions in confusion, and Alex looks away.

"What are you doing here? "He questions with slight anger.

"To give these back to you. "She replies looking away and holding out the cartoon box to him.

"You could have given it to any of the workers or even my assistant who I'm sure you met on your way here.

What makes you think you can come into my personal space like this!? "Damon yells in anger, and Alex glares at him.

" Personal space!? I'm not allowed here, but that skinny assistant of yours is!? "Alex screams. Unintentionally letting out a small piece of her jealousy.

" She's my assistant. She's important. Not an ex-wife who has ended everything between us! "Damon replies.

" In case you've forgotten, you haven't signed those papers yet. So, it's not official.

So, till it is, I demand you respect me! "Alex replies coldly.

" The fuck do you think you are? You're so full of yourself.

You want me to respect you when you couldn't even respect our marriage!? "Damon screams in anger.

"I have my reasons for ending our marriage. I expected a grown man like you to be mature, and not act like a cry baby about it! "Alex retorts.

" You're just a self-centered bitch! "Damon screams in frustration, as he walks past Alex angrily to the bedroom part of the room.

" And you're just a man of little morals! It's not even a week since our last hearing, and you already have that elf running around the house! "Alex screams.

" Why does it bug you so much!? "Damon questions and Alex glares at him.

" Cause it makes me wonder just how faithful you were when we were still together. "Alex replies, and Damon scoffs.

" Maybe you won't have to wonder if you didn't mess things up between us! "Damon screams.

Just then, there's a knock on the door, and Alex calls in irritation;

" Who is it!? "

Ava opens the door and pops her head in.

" Mr. Damon is... Everything okay, I heard some noise. "Ava says timidly.

" Seriously, this is the best you can do? " Alex questions Damon in irritation while pointing at Ava.

Her statement angers Damon further.

"Get out of here Ava! I'd call you when there's need. Go home! "Damon screams at Ava, and the frightened lady rushes into the room, grabs her bag from the cupboard, and runs back out.

This is what she was trying to avoid by stopping Alex from going in, but now...

"Alex, get out of my house! " Damon screams once Ava is gone,

"Fine! It's not half the home it used to be anyways. Enjoy your brothel! "Alex replies in anger and marches out of the room.

Damon screams in annoyance once he's sure Alex is far enough, and he throws a heavy kick to the foot of his bed.

If you ask me, I'd rate its class a five out of ten. A taxi pulls up before the building, and the blonde comes down from the vehicle. "Thank you. "She says to the driver, and I glare at her. Aww, good manners. If only her freaking manners taught her to stay away from married men. I come down from my car, lock it, and begin to march to the blonde across the street who has her back turned to me, as she's trying to open her house's door. "Hello, twerp. "I greet, and she jumps a bit in fright. "What the... "She begins as she turns, but stops when she sees me. I give her a tight smile and get straight to business.

  • Love Again   66 -Love Again

    Alex's POV;Love... It's a very funny thing. It take you and redefines you. It changes most if your believes and gives you a new view of life. It teaches you that you don't always have to do everything on your own, and it so teaches you that forgiveness is one of the very important wheels that keeps life going. If there's no love, a lot of us would feel incomplete and failed. Love hurts sometimes, and sometimes it heals. In the last few months, I've grown to learn that love indeed isn't a bed of roses.There are ups, downs, sad times, happy times, good times and definitely the hurting times. But there's so much joy when there's love around. Love that makes you feel whole and complete.Love that heals you in ways you'd never imagined. To love you need to let most of yourself go, and trust completely. I'm currently enjoying my life with Damon, and it's amazing.I'm seven months pregnant now, and we're currently at the hospital, waiting outside Amanda's wars. She's in labor, and Max ha

I mean... Which best friend won't be mad that her friend has been keeping a huge secret from her, for years?"When were you planning on telling me, Sia? "Alex questions as I take my cup of lemonade to my mouth, and I gulp.I gently drop the cup back on the table before looking up at her, and she gives me a look."Sia, we attended college together, we've been through so much together, even when Amos came back, you were the one who kept pointing out that you think he likes me and that if I feel he's the one for me, I shouldn't fight it.Why were you doing that?

Moses came over here to spend the night, as he has an interview at an office not too far from my house, tomorrow morning, and his house is quite far. If he spends the night in his house, he'd be late for the interview, and might even lose the job. So, he asked for my help, and I gave it. He agreed to sleep in the living room as there are only two rooms in this house. One for me, and the other for Angela, and there's no way I'd sleep in the same room as him. At least not now. I don't trust him enough, and as much as I want to, I haven't fully accepted him back. I need to know what he's truly here for. He says he wants to make up for his mistakes, but I'm only human.

But to be honest, I'm not completely happy. I feel whatever he's doing, he's doing out of pity.Either that, or he's using me as a rebound. It makes no sense to me. Yes, the care and attention he's showing sure is something I've longed for, for a very long time, and it's been my dream for way too long.But it only began after my outburst to him. I can still remember all the emotions that were running through me that day in his car when I blurted out my deepest secret to him.

I spray its content on his face, and he grunts in pain as it gets into this eyes. He staggers and I lead him to the couch as his eyes begin to flutter. "What did you do to me, Ava?
