Chapter 35
Hayley
I lie in bed in a daze for I don’t know how long, before I get up and unconsciously search the wash hamper for something of Xander’s. I find a shirt that still has the smell of his perfume. The smell of him. I inhale deeply and crawl back into bed clutching his shirt to my chest. With his familiar sent I am finally able to doze of.
I wake with a start when my phone rings. I sleepily check the over bright screen to see Xander’s name on the caller ID and I answer immediately.
“Hey" I say sleepily still clutching his shirt to me.
“Hey babe, I’m sorry I woke you.”
“Don’t be, I love waking up to your voice. Is everything okay?”
“Henry told me about what happened tonight. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It wasn’t it big deal. I was going to tell you

KeithWho the fuck do they think they are, keeping her from me and what about Hayley…saying she doesn’t want to speak to me. The stuff that went down between us was a long time ago. There was a time she begged me to see her.It’s not the first time I feel regret when it comes to her. The first time I saw her at work I was attracted to her. Mina, my girlfriend was on holiday with her family and I'll admit I’ve never been the best person, I just wanted to fool around with Hayley. Choosing someone I work with wasn’t my wisest moment but I can’t bring myself to regret the time I had with her. What started of as a game quickly changed the more time I spent with her.

Xander Kyle and I pull up to Mr Hashimoto’s residence. We have been here over a week and this is the only free time we have found to visit our old friend. The house is wooden with screens and surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden. A little bridge walkway sits over a pond leading to the front door entrance. Akio, Mr Hashimoto’s son, is already waiting for us at the door. “Hi Akio, thanks for allowing us to come here.” “Thank you for honouring my father and coming to see him.” “How is he?” “He’s having a good day today. More lucid moments than most days…come through this way, he's in the conservatory.” We follow Akio through the house and find old man Hashimoto enjoying the sunlight. He turns when he notices us enter and is about to get up from his seat when I stop him. &

Hayley When I open my eyes, my head is in the crook of Xander’s arm and my hand is wrapped snuggly against his waist. It feels so good to be this close to him again. I look up at his face and I see how exhausted he is. On top of work and our drama, he must also be suffering from jet lag. I hug him tight for a minute and he doesn’t budge. I smile, feeling so much love for him, it is overwhelming. I can’t believe he said the “L" word and he said it first!I slowly move my arm and his arm and try to not to wake him as I get up. Although I doubt an elephant running through the room could wake him up right now. I go to the bathroom and when I’m done I grab some workout gear and decide to take the dogs for a run on the beach. Lying next to such a fit specimen is all the inspiration I need to make sure I look my best.The girls and I are exhausted within an ho

I have from day one when I helped her get out of her wedding dress. Maybe its because I’ve always been attracted to her.
