2024-10-29 19:42:56I can't believe I'm doing this. Well I can't believe this is happening, I'm travelling with Keith.
When he asked me to accompany him, I wasn't really thinking straight, I was still stunned about what happened with London. Everything after he left and I agreed to go with Keith, became a blur. Now I'm sitting beside Keith, who's busy on his laptop. Probably with work.
We're going to the airport right now and I'm nervously excited to go to Aspen. I've never been to Aspen. To add to this excitement, I'm going with Keith. I know he might be busy with work and all but when he's not busy, I'll just have to drag him around and create a little fun for the both of us. You know, creating memories.
My mom would be squealing with joy at watching me travel to places. She'd always known that I had a heart for travelling, experiencing new things, learning and storing memories of a life time.
I watch curiously as we pas

I'm jolted awake by a noise coming from the door. I don't have time to react when the door is opened and I hear someone enter the room.Good thing my back is facing the person.The bed dips and I hold my breath." Kea, I know you're awake." Joe.I sigh out in relief, glancing over my shoulder at him." Why are you here Joe?" "Joey, I'm here as Joey. Your friend, remember?" I sigh again, rolling over onto my back, turning my head to him. "What's wrong? " " I ruined everything." "And by everything you mean?" "My friendship with Keith, I snapped and basically hinted in me being in love with him. Gosh I feel stupid, feel embarrassed." I groan out, now thinking about earlier."Well it was bound to happen." "What do you mean?" "You've been holding onto

I shyly sneak a glance at Keith, whilst he's driving , a blush warms my cheeks at thoughts of what happened at the restaurant, his words, the way he was so gentle with me until now and of course, the awesome cake I can't wait to devour, that's on my lap.Not being able to control myself, I turn my head to really take him in. So many words ring in mind as I stare at him.Handsome, hot, dreamy......I could go on."Stop, that's distracting." He says."But I didn't even do anything." I try suppress a grin." You're staring." " Sorry." I quickly look away, playfully drumming my fingers on the cake box.A hand covers mine. I smile at this. Arriving home, he gets out and comes over to my side, helping me out of the car.Right when I'm out of the car, his jacket is placed over my shoulders, preventing the cold from making me
YOU WAITED Chapter 28
Yesterday surely felt like a dream. It was too unreal and right as I stand on the balcony, drinking my coffee just to warm up, because of the cold day, I think back to two years ago.I was still way too young compared to now, maybe a bit naive and hopeful of a better tomorrow, whenever a day became the yesterday.Being married surely changed my life in so many ways, I lived a life of waiting as my heart continued to beat for Keith. I never really opened up myself for people to actually get to know me, therefore I lost myself in everything to do with Keith.The divorce kinda opened my eyes yet still hurting my heart. I reunited with my friend James as well as made new ones, London and Theresa. Living on my own brought me back to when I was knocked into the reality of not having my mother around. Where it was just me and me alone.Yes my heart was breaking but I was starting to make decisions for myself a

" Keith?!"" I have to go." He says to Joe, his eyes glancing up at me for a second before rushing out of the house.I sigh, sitting down on the step and looking at the door as if he'll come right back in.This is how it's been since yesterday, after Mrs Davies came by to take Bella back to Riley, accompanied by Keith, surprisingly. He never once spoke to me after he returned. He simply distanced himself from me and today is no different.It's like we are back to how things were, and I can't blame it on anyone else but me.I messed things up.He overheard me talking to Bella, finally finding out my true feelings for him and now that he knows, I bet he doesn't want anything to do with me. How could I be so stupid as to not close the door?I'm afraid that I've even lost the remaining thing I have with Keith and that's our new found friendship.

He has not said anything, he's silent but just staring ahead, at what I've presented him with.I'd planned a special dinner just for us two, I had prepared myself on how I'd go about telling him how I felt, but of course everything else happened and I found myself confessing anyway. Keith then telling me that he felt the same way.I can't even describe how I feel right now, I'm bubbling with relief and happiness, even though there's a little bump in the way. There is so much I want us to talk about but right now, I just need a moment with him, for us to focus on only us and nothing else." You don't like it do you? " He turns to me and pulls me close to him, leaning forward and stealing a kiss." I love it, thank you." He says against my lips." I um kinda had everything planned out, so I would um," I drop m

The air is tense and neither one of us has spoken a word. I believe we are all waiting for someone to speak up first. Right when Elena showed up at our doorstep, not another word was spoken apart from me letting her in and offering her something to drink.I try move off Keith's lap but his arms around my waist tighten, preventing me from doing anything."Did you see the news?" Keith finally speaks up for the first time and I sigh in relief." Yes I did and I apologise for causing such a big scandal. I had a little too much to drink and I guess, I kinda acted out." She says sheepishly.Keith's phone rings. " Salvatore." He answers in a business tone.I glance at him, watching his brows scrunch together in concentration. He's so damn handsome that I want to just kiss him right now. Sensing me staring, his eyes meet mine and his lips twitch into a small

" Give her the baby." He says.I don't answer nor make a move to give Riley the baby." I said, give her the baby." He repeats, pressing the gun harder against my back." Give me the baby Mrs Salvatore." Riley says, holding up her arms as she takes a step closer, only stopping when I narrow my eyes at her." Oh shit, so you're the lady of the house, even better." I can almost hear him grinning proudly but I choose to ignore him, my eyes trained on her while I pull Bella close to my chest." Do you really think I would give her over to you, with a gun in hand?" I question her." I'm the mother, I have right over my child."She says, her eyes wide and nervous." I don't deny that, but do you look like one right now?" I arch my brow at her." Okay enough, enough - just give her the fucking baby and let's get down to business shall we?"

The month long process is almost over and only a few more days are left, I notice. Things have changed between Keith and I, but will they change on paper?Gosh, what am I thinking?I'm letting doubt creep into my mind and the next thing I know is, I'll start questioning the time I've spent with him here. No, I can't be thinking like this." Hey, you're finally awake." I'm pulled close, receiving a kiss to the temple.I close my eyes to the feel of his lips on my skin. This is what I need, being in his presence and being in his arms.' Am I saying this now because I'm in his arms?' My conscious asks.Oh my word, what is going on with me this morning?" Are you okay?" I'm knocked out of my thoughts and look up at Keith, who's eyes show concern." I'm okay, when are we leaving?"" In two hou

5 years later........Soft music played in the background, lulling them to sleep. They were trying to resist but I knew that soon they would be goners.My beautiful babies.I didn't know how we did it, but Keith and I seemed to do pretty okay. Our babies, Isabella Rosie Salvatore and Isaiah Silas Salvatore.They were my pride and joy, my blessing from God, my little miracle babies. I fell in love with them everyday. There just seemed to be something new about them that captured my heart.5 years down the line and I'd grown, in fact we'd both grown. We were both still happily married, now we were content with our children and they brought more life into our lives.I've never seen Keith so happy, he just lights up at the sight of them and becomes putty at their hands, they've got him
YOU WAITED Chapter 60
A long journey it's been, for the both of us, especially for me. A young girl I'd been with, the will to survive in this life and make something of myself, I'm here now as a young woman, having grown within marriage.I was so young and probably naive but I still stood strong, for I'd been an observer and an independent person. Losing my mother was the hardest hit I'd got and at some point, I'd thought I'd lose focus and purpose, but then he showed up. Keith came along and gave me purpose, he gave me a reason to start living and being focused, even if my focus was on him.The age difference didn't matter to me, and even if I entered into this marriage alone, with no support or family, I still did it independently. My wait for him was not intentional at first, I found myself invested more in the marriage without realizing, and when I'd really opened my eyes to the truth, the truth was that I'd fall

I close my eyes, leaning back on the seat and relaxing on this travel back home. I can honestly say that I feel relaxed and content, for the honeymoon was beautiful, fun and exciting. Every bit of it was filled with new experiences, adventure and surprises. Keith never failed to surprise me , he always did even if it was something small or big, he surprised me. He showed me all beautiful places I've never been to, made me try out new things and always made sure that I was happy. Keith truly deserved the most caring husband award in my eyes.After that night where he asked me to sign those papers, giving me right over everything, I felt overwhelmed and loved so much, but of course fear gripped at me, for the amount of trust he had in me, was beyond words. He trusts me with his life and everything. His hard work, inheritance, future, were all in the palm of my hand and I was nervous of such a responsibility. I've never

My lips twitched into a smile as he trailed kisses up along my exposed back, awakening me from my sweet slumber. He ascended up to the back of my neck, where he earned a low moan from me."Good morning my love." He whispers in my ear, nipping at the earlobe."Morning to you too, I should be mad at you right now." " Why's that?" " Well you just woke me up early in the morning and the sun is not even up." I tell him, rolling onto my back, pulling the sheet with me, so it covers my chest.He hovers above me, arms on either side of my head." I love this sight." My brows pull together. "You in my bed, hair sprawled out on the pillow after we made love." He whispers the last part in my ear.My cheeks warm up and I look away, only for him to tilt my head up again, so I'm facing him."Don

The Wedding..Part two.I am the most smiling bride I've ever known, I'm afraid my face will crack seriously.The ceremony was so beautiful and magical, I can't help but gush each time I think of his vows, and him taking charge with the kiss like that, in front of everyone.Gosh, he can be such a show off.Pictures have already been taken and I can't wait for them to come out, we had so much fun with it. Keith was carefree and playful, the guys pictures were of them teasing each other, funny faces and more, and us ladies didn't let down either.The moment was over too soon because the best part was coming, it was time to party.I had changed into my second dress and I have one word for it. It is stunning. It's a long sleeved, all lace white backless gown, I'm a bit nervous about Keith's thoughts on it, I know how he can go all commando, when extra sk

Wedding day. ....The day has finally come and I can't believe I am feeling calm right now. I have long awaited this day, the day I finally got married to the love of my life, where love was the root cause of it all.I never thought in my wildest dreams, that a girl who lived a simple life and was still mourning her mother's death, would find herself in a waiting journey leading to this fairytale today.Nothing about us was easy, it was hard and a challenge indeed. The man who never glanced my way, who never spoke much to me and let me in his life, was the same man I was marrying today. Today he declared me his wife, his love for me was evident and he wanted to show it off, a day never started nor ended without him telling me that he loves me.I felt like the luckiest girl alive today.I couldn't wait to see him for I'd last seen him that night. I'd thought I'd

A whole day yesterday, spent of doing a pre wedding photoshoot. Keith was such a diva about it that every other plan was pushed back, being replaced by the photoshoot.We even went to different places, and I have to say, I had such a fun but tiring time.Keith can be such a perfectionist. We had to redo a lot of pictures until I put my foot down and said no more. He made it up to me with a nice foot massage, it literally lulled me into sleep. So tonight was my bachelorette party, the girls were adamant on it, specifically Theresa. The rest of the day belonged to Keith and I, because sadly, tomorrow we weren't going to see each other. Everyone forbid us from seeing each other.I was going to miss him that's for sure, but we needed a day apart, so we could miss each other terribly and on the day, it'll be more worth it.And how we planned to spend the day, we were cuddling again
YOU WAITED Chapter 54
Few days later.I stood behind Keith's office door, taking a nervous breath before knocking." Come in." I entered inside to find him busy on his laptop. The minute I stepped in, he looked away and focused his attention on me, an instant smile taking over his face." You're still busy." I accuse." No I'm not, I was just checking my emails." He chuckles, rising up on his feet and coming over to where I'm standing." You know I can go alone right, you don't have to come if you're busy." " No way am I wasting the little time together we can get, right now for anything, come on." He says, taking his phone and wallet, before taking my hand and leading me out of his office." I can't believe they're here." I say excitedly." Yeah you wouldn't have slept if I hadn't forced you to." I playfully

I couldn't face him after last night, I would blush so hard, just by glancing his way and he made no secret with his knowing smirk. That's why I'm sitting at the opposite end of the table this morning, doing all I can to not look at him. I trusted him last night and let him have his way with me. Let's just say I had to get a mouthful of air just to not lose consciousness, my rapid beating heart was the only thing, reminding me that I'm still breathing.So last night was last night and today is a new day, I've got quite a busy day ahead, well we both do and we won't get to see much of each other. I'll miss him dearly but preparations need to be done." Kea?" " Hmm?" I look up at him, to find his eyes already on me." You're very quiet this morning." He mentions." Am I?" " Hmm, and you barely touched your food," he gestures to my full plate.
