Chapter 39
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

Xander Damn I’m tired. I let the hot water run down my body and close my eyes allowing the exhaustion to slowly drain. I think about the events of the last couple hours. I've never felt this way before. When I thought of her upset and away from me, not wanting to take my calls, I couldn’t handle it. I think of Hayley as my wife. 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. I don’t know but our relationship hasn’t felt like a contract and it confuses me, caring so deeply for someone I’ve only known a couple of months.I didn’t even know exactly what I was feeling until I got home and pulled her into my arms last night and then it hit me. I love this women. I don’t know how it happened or when but I really love this women. Hayley and her mutts have made my life brighter and I don’t want to lose th

Hayley Xander and I spend the day lazing around the house. We watch movies with the dogs and Sebastian in bed. Xander wasn’t kidding, Zola and Stella have been stuck to him like glue. When its time for supper, Henry and Tyler come over and together with Grandma and the staff we have a family meal.My life has changed so much these past few months. I can’t believe Xander actually loves me. I wish he didn’t have to leave tomorrow. As much as he reassures me, I can’t help but feel insecure. I love everything about him but never in a million years did I think I’d end up with anyone like him, except for in my dreams.“What are you thinking so hard about?”“I’m thinking about how I wish you didn’t have to leave again tomorrow…”“It’s only for a few days babe. If I could

Hayley.The next day goes by too quickly and before I know it, its time for Xander to leave again. He drives to the airstrip and I have tears in my eyes the whole way there. He reassures me its just for a few days and that he will call every chance he gets.Which he does. He calls and texts throughout the day making me feel so much better. It’s only when I climb into our king size bed that the loneliness creeps in again but Xander video calls and we talk for hours before both our eyes start to droop and we say goodnight.I open my eyes to switch off the alarm on my phone. Damn, its back to work today. I can’t wait for my last day so I don’t have to wake up this early anymore. I decide to get up instead of pressing snooze which I usually do. Tash and I are meeting after work today so I need the extra time to pick out something extra nice to wear to our lunch. I decide on jeans and a pre

Hayley I stand under the hot shower spray thinking about the days events. I can’t believe the nerve of Keith. Offering me an affair, like what the fuck…and drugging me…I still can’t believe all of that happened. How did he even know where I would be?I still feel pretty out of it and I’m so angry I want to scream. If I never lay eyes on that asshole Keith again, it will be too soon. How did I never see the type of person he was until it was too late?I wish Xander were here. I feel terrible about lying to him but I know him well enough to know he would of been on the first flight out…again… and I can’t do that to him. He would also rip Keith apart. Of that I am sure but I would rather keep all of this in the past. Besides if Keith ever shows up again, I will kill him myself.I turn the water off and try to step out of the shower b

Hayley We are all sitting at the dining room table the next day having a feast of a lunch prepared by chef when the dogs go crazy, whining and running in circles in front of the main door.“What’s up girls? Do you need to go outside?”Just then the front door opens and in steps Xander.I am out of my seat in seconds and manage to squeeze my way between the dogs kissing and jumping up on Xander to get my hug in. I can hear the others at the table laughing at the attention the dogs and I are giving Xander.“Hey babe,” Xander grins at me while holding me close.“Welcome home,” I grin back.Gran and the guys meet us halfway to greet Xander who takes a minute to walk up to Sebastian who is patiently waiting in a corner of the room to be acknowledged. He bends down to pick him up, &ld

HayleyYou know how they say one lie snowballs into another and then another….well its true. If I had just told Xander the truth about that night, I wouldn’t be here. Why was I even trying to hide it. I did nothing wrong but now if I say anything it is going to look like I had something to hide. I can’t lose Xander. Damn. Whoever sent me these pictures could send them to him too.I hear the water stop in the shower and about 10 minutes later Xander comes out in just a black track pants, rubbing his wet hair dry. Damn but this man is fine. He throws the towel aside and sits on the bed beside me.“What are you looking at?”“What?...Oh nothing, just some old pictures.” I cant lie to this man, but how do I tell him. I have to tell him, but how?“Babe, you don’t look well. Come here…” Xander reaches

Xander I scroll through image after image of Haley with some guy all over her.“Hayley what is this?” I ask as I turn the phone to face her so she can see the pictures.She looks at the phone and then at me.“I can explain.”No good sentence ever started that way, at least not in my world. I am seeing red at another guy touching my wife but more so, her letting him. Holding on by a thread I keep quiet. I want to hear this explanation.Just then Charles walks in and greets us, “Sir, Mam…can I get you some refreshments?”“No thanks, Charles. Hayley and I are on our way upstairs.” I motion for Hayley to go ahead of me up the stairs. I enter the room after her and close the door behind me and lean against it. She turns slowly to face me. She looks like a deer caug

Xander I enter the security pin again at the front door. Daisy, Kyle's housekeeper is busy dusting in the foyer. She turns to see who entered and a smile breaks out on her weathered face when she sees it’s me.“Xander! It's so lovely to see you.”I hug the elderly woman in greeting, “It is lovely to see you too Daisy. Is Kyle around?”“He's in the garage.”“Thanks Daisy.”I find Kyle with his laptop attached to a sleek black Subaru. It is his project car and he’s tweaking it for racing. The music is blasting in the background so he doesn’t notice my entrance.“Ahem" I say to announce my presence and he almost drops the laptop in surprise. Luckily we both reach for it at the same time and manage to save it.“Xander, bro did
