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.

    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

    Hayley“So how does it feel knowing you don’t have to go to work today or any other day for that matter?” Xander asks me as we lie in bed exhausted from a very intense round of sex.“Surreal. It feels surreal…You’re not going to the office today are you?”“Is that a serious question? Ofcos I am not going to the office. There’s no way I am leaving your side for the foreseeable future beautiful, especially not after yesterday. I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”“How did you guys find me? I was in the middle of nowhere.”“Your wedding ring has a tracker and we tracked his rental car's GPS as well.”“My ring has a what?” I ask, looking at my beautiful wedding ring.“All our jewelry does beautiful, even m

She is so beautiful. I don’t know how I got so lucky.I want to help her dry off and change but I know my willpower is already strained so I let her go while I strip and try to find some release in the shower.

    HayleyAfter Amanda dropped the unexpected bombshell, we pestered her to no end for details.Eventually she said, “All I will say is that he doesn’t know what he wants. Not all women are prepared to settle for crumbs. I deserve better than that.”With that cryptic statement we all looked at her a bit dumbfounded, wanting to know more but not knowing how to ask. My sister in law, never one to be shy, tried to prod a little more but that was all Amanda was prepared to say.“Guys can we please change the subject, I don’t know why I even opened my mouth”“You opened your mouth because you needed to get it off your chest. I for one am glad you did,” replied my sister in law.I had been stuffing my mouth with mini pizzas and hadn’t said much until now, busy trying to digest my food and what could

    HayleyChef is waiting by the door for us and as we get close to the last step she rushes to hug me, tears streaming down her face. Xander is about to tell her to be careful with me but I shake my head to indicate no to him and he keeps quiet.“Child I am too old for this. You and Helen both in one day…” she cries on my shoulder.“It’s okay Hannah. Don’t cry. Gran and I are both fine” I say as I gently rub her back. “Can we go inside now? Whatever you made smells divine and I am starving.”Chef smiles at that because she loves feeding people.“Xander said Zola wouldn’t eat. Has she eaten anything yet?”“No she hasn’t but I suspect that will change now that you are here.”“Poor baby let me go feed her before everyone gets

Thank God.”The atmosphere is so different from just a short while back. Everyone is happy and chatting. I almost can’t believe that so much has happened in the last few hours. I am just glad everything is the way it should be now.When the doctor comes out to speak to us, the room goes quiet as we wait to hear what she h

Xander introduces me to his friend Carlos, whom I only saw in passing at our wedding.The guys leave Xander and I to take one of the Range Rovers, while they squeeze into the other two cars parked on the tarmac at the airstrip.“Xander this is ridiculous. Some of them can come with us. We have so much space.”“Don’t worry about them. They will be fine. Besides, I don’t want to share you with anyone just yet.”“How are my babies? I can’t wait to see them.”“They are fine. They missed you too. Especially Zola. Chef called me to tell me she wouldn’t eat…and you know how much she loves food.”“Oh no. My poor baby.”&ldquo

Just held onto me so tightly as if his life depended on it.When we enter the plane, Dr Guzman is already waiting for us. Xander places me down gently on a chair that’s already in the reclining position.“Hi Dr Guzman,” I say smiling at the worried looking doctor.“Haley my dear, I am so glad you’re okay. I was worried sick about you. Are you hurt? Are you dizzy.”Xander is still silent. He is standing behind the doctor paying careful attention me.“Erm…I am not feeling dizzy anymore. Whatever he gave me is starting to wear off.”I notice Xander’s jaw clench but I have to tell the doctor about the fall. I am worried about the babies.

There has to be a car around here somewhere.“I didn’t go through all this trouble just to let you go so easily honey."I hear Keith’s voice from the open doorway. There is a trickle of blood running down his forehead but it doesn’t seem to bother him. I quickly turn, feeling dizzy again, to see him pointing a gun at me.“I’m going to let what you just did slide and put it down to shock but don’t you ever fucking do that to me again Haley. I promise you, you won’t like the consequences. Now get your ass back in this house or I will drag you back.”I want to tell him to fuck off but I haven’t regained my strength and I still
