2024-10-29 19:42:56It's been a few days since I last saw him.
I want to run up to him and give him a big hug because I did miss him, Theresa and James, but I know that things are still a bit awkward, with everything that happened.
To add to that awkwardness, Keith is here and he wouldn't be too happy about me talking to London as of yet. All I need to do is talk to him and let him know that I intend on talking to London, because at the end of the day, he's my friend.
My friend. The last time we spoke, he'd told me that he'd had feelings for me. I just hope that once we talk, we can clear the air and look at the way forward. I hope our friendship won't be ruined because of misunderstandings.
I'm pulled back whilst my eyes are still on London. I want to say something but can't find the words.
" Come on." Keith says, leading me to the building, tugging me under his arm, my suitcase in his other hand.

It's always so good to have time alone with friends, especially friends like mine. Theresa hasn't stopped asking questions about my time in Aspen, wanting to check up on me the minute she heard I was back. She literally had James leave whatever he was doing and come over with snacks and stuff. London must have told Theresa about my arrival. Speaking of London, he hasn't spoken a word since he came by, only ever looking at me. I could only manage a small smile because I didn't know how to start the conversation, it was quite awkward and I hated it so much." Kea you didn't miss me did you?" Theresa speaks up."Ofcourse I did. Why would you think that?" I say frowning." Well how could you forget to bring me a little something, you were in Aspen for crying out loud." She huffs, folding her arms." I know, I'm sorry. It's just that things got a little um complicated over there, forcing me

" Keith." I breathe out, grabbing both their attention.There's tension in the air, I don't know what both men are thinking, it's unnerving. London is tense beside me and I don't have to guess about Keith. I just wish there was something I could do to get them talking.Conflict, yelling and violence doesn't sit well with me, I don't like it. Maybe I should make the first move.Yes, I should.Taking a breath, I prepare to speak when Keith starts towards us and I meet him halfway, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest.We didn't leave things on a good note in the morning and I did miss him.His hold on me tightens, just as he kisses the top of my head." Introduce me to your friend angel." I lean back, looking up at him in confusion."Your friend Angel." He repeats, gesturing to London, who stands leaned aga

It's the first time I've ever been to his workplace, I'm beyond nervous even if none know about me. I'm married to the CEO of Salvatore Enterprises, yet I feel like I'll be intruding with his work, this part of his life.I'm also nervous to see him, he sounded upset over the phone and I don't know how his mood will be, when I see him.I just hope he has calmed down now and I will ask him to explain to me, as to what made him say my life is threatened over the phone. I haven't really thought about my life being under threat, just that the whole Jason thing was a plan from someone who might have been desperate for money. I could never be too sure about anything because what Riley and I talked about, was based on mere thought and little bit of suspicion, nothing major.Maybe it's just Keith being his over protective and concerned self." We're here." James says, parking right infront of the tallest buildin

An older version of Keith stands before the both of us. He's aged well, not looking any different from the first and last time I met him, that was at my wedding.Tall, broad shouldered with blue eyes, he has a demanding and powerful presence, just like his son. Vincent Salvatore is his name, a retired businessman. He's a wealthy man with him renting out his boats and properties, keeping busy and being healthy and enjoying life.After Keith's mom passed on, Keith prettymuch distanced himself from his whole family, especially his father, who was dealing with his own grief. It's just so sad to know that the two hadn't talked for 2years and as much as years pass, and they try live their lives, they need each other. Keith needs his father, some fatherly guidance as to deal with different situations, especially in our marriage.But because Keith is a stubborn man, it might take a while to convince him

Silence had taken over a few minutes ago, whilst we wait for Keith to sort out the journalists outside. He said he would and made it clear that I don't come out.He doesn't want me anywhere in view. So I took it upon myself to keep our guests occupied." I heard about what happened in Aspen, how have you been dear?" Jill asks, sipping her wine." Oh I'm okay," I say." What happened in Aspen?" Vincent asks." Someone broke into our home and held Akiandra at gun point." Elena speaks up." Oh they didn't hurt you, did they?" Vincent asks, concern in his eyes." No, he didn't. Um a lot happened and I'm just glad it's over." I say." We should check on him, I'm going." Elena suddenly says, rising to her feet." I don't think that's such a good idea." I say, making her stop."Time has passed now, I'll just-"

I don't know for how long I've been sitting here, trying to catch my breath and be awake. It's pretty exhausting but I'm still holding on.The cold sensation had hit me hard and now I think a fever is coming on, I don't even know what to do. I just wish someone comes soon. I can't even explain all the different phases I'm passing through, nothing is making any sense and all I want to do is sleep. I just need help.My prayers are answered when I hear a knock on our room door.The knocks keep on coming until there's silence, and my hope starts to diminish. ' No, no,please come back.' I want to say but words are not coming out, something is blocking me and now I'm sweating like nobody's business.Soon I hear the door handle jiggle before the bathroom door opens." Oh my God Kea!" Someone gasps, coming into view.Sarah crouches before me, her hands coming in contact w

I watch him silently as he puts on his tie, staring at the full body mirror. Tall, handsome and a dream in a black tux, hair stylishly gelled and soft pink bow tie.Today is the day for Jill Salvatore and Gregory Salvatore's wedding anniversary. We said we'd be there but only one will attend and that's Keith. I can't go, more like Keith won't let me go, he is still convinced that a few more days of bed rest will do me some good.I'd already told him that I'm fine and am capable of being on my feet for a couple of hours, but still, he had put his foot down and said to stay behind. Nothing seemed to convince him and now here I am, sitting on this bed, watching his every move, feeling bad for not accompanying him." I'll be back in an hours time."He tells me." Why?" "Because." He turns around to face me. " I want to spend the rest of my night with you, instead of dining with boring people."

I stand at the top of the stairs, waiting patiently for him, as he makes his way over to me. His eyes aren't anywhere else but on me. People part like the red sea, giving way for him, their curiosity getting the better of them, as they steal glances my way. As he ascends up the stairs, my eyes droop low, nerves bubbling at the bottom of my stomach, expecting just about anything. I feel him close, his cologne filling my nostrils just when his shiny shoes come into view.My chin is tilted up and my eyes meet his, there's no anger in them but some kind of indescribable emotion, swirling in them. He's not saying anything but just staring at me, his eyes taking my whole face in as if he's seeing something new."You're breathtaking." He breathes out.My heart skips a beat at his words, a blush warming my cheeks.I can't even look at him, that's why my eyes avert elsewhere, making the mistake

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.
