Aimee POV
I haven’t spoken to Alec since Monday, but I read that his dad is in hospital in the newspaper. He had a heart attack. I don’t know if I should go to the hospital to show my support or if I just should stay out of it and let him come to me. What am I doing? I need to go see him, and he must be desperate. He is very attached to his parents, and he must be going through hell right now.
I look at myself in the mirror, pleased with my appearance. The bruises are fading, and they are barely noticeable with makeup on. My lip has healed, and my heart is pounding at the thought of seeing Alec again. After everything that he has put me through, I still can’t forget how much I loved him. He was my first in everything. I have dated after him, but I never got myself to trust someone the same way I trusted him maybe because I was afraid of having my heart shattered again.
I take a deep breath and put my high heels
Hey Everyone. I am not entirely healthy yet; Covid really kicked my ass. I was in bed for a long time. But I am back, or trying. I hope you liked this chapter. Let me know what you think. Don't forget to share the boom with everyone you know, so I stand a chance in the competition.
Alec POV Paul has been here in the hospital with us since the first day. He barely leaves, and he keeps getting phone calls from his wife. She is pissed because he is never home, he tried to explain that my dad is like a dad to him, but she really wants him home. I understand. I take a deep breath as soon as Paul leaves, looking at mum. She looks so tired sitting next to dad. He is recovering, and he keeps telling us to go home, but obviously mum doesn’t listen to him, I go home once a day to have a shower and change my clothes, but mum doesn’t leave this hospital. I bring her fresh clothes every day, and she showers in dad’s bathroom in his room. She is insane. She needs rest; otherwise, she will be the one here. “I’m gonna go get a coffee”, I say, and mum nods her head while dad reads the newspaper. “This is ridiculous, and I am not an invalid’, dad says as mum offers him tea through a straw. He is st
Aimee POV Work has been manic today, I haven’t stopped for one second fact checking and writing. I have a headache forming, I pull my glasses off of my face and rub my eyes a little taking a deep breath. “Hey, brought you some coffee”, I hear a familiar voice, I raise my head to see Ash standing in front of me offering me a smile and holding a coffee. I stand up immediately and wrap my arms around his neck. Ash hugs me back, I can’t believe he is here. “What are you doing here?”, I ask in shock as he offers me a smile. Ash is like a brother to me, we met while I worked at the coffee shop to pay for university and we became close, but then he moved away to America. I miss him every day. I can’t believe he is here now. “I missed you, why haven’t you been picking up your phone?”, he asks annoyed and crossing his arms in front of his chest. I take a deep breath and sit again on my chair while Ash takes his
Alec POVMy dad has finally been discharged from hospital and Paul decided to take me out to dinner with his wife. It’s been a while since we have hang our the three of us. She is not my favourite person and she doesn’t particularly like me, but she does him good, she managed to get him to settle down and behave like a proper human being. I have to say I am proud of him for accomplishing that in his life. That wouldn’t be something I would for in my life, but he fell for head over heels.They decided to bring me to the most popular restaurant in London right now, I would’ve preferred something quieter, but she has been wanting to try this place, and after all her job involves eating in places like this, she is a influencer of some sort, something I really know nothing about. I have no clue what she really does, but she makes good money out of it, and Paul is very proud of her.“Hey Ma
Aimee POVDinner with Ash finished earlier than expected when he started to be approached by loads of girls wanting selfies and autographs. I have to say I am quite happy that it did, if we stayed longer, he would've been able to know I was hiding something, and he could read me like a book so that he would figure out about Alec.I close my eyes, stopping the alarm for the third time since it went off at six in the morning. I have a meeting with Alec this morning, and I am not looking forward to it. I still feel his lips on mine, and I can't believe I allowed myself to feel his kiss, to let him in like that. He is going to break my heart, and I can't let him play with me like this.I take a deep breath sitting on my bed with my feet hanging. I place them on the floor and slowly walk to the bathroom removing the make-up from the night before and putting my hair up in
Alec POVMy heart rate is higher than normal, but to be honest I haven’t been running as much lately, and yesterday I had too much to drink. I look at the speed on the treadmill and I smile, I picked up the speed, but I am already feeling tired after only two miles, usually I only feel like this after four. Shit. I have really been neglecting my training. My phone rings announcing there’s a text message. I stop running and grab my phone. Automatically I feel my blood boiling when I read the message from Aimee saying she can’t meet me today. Who the fuck does she think she is to blow me off like this?I sit on the workout bench taking a deep breath and typing back asking her what emergency. Why is she blowing me off? What could be so important? Shit, her mum? Her sister? Are they back? She is not replaying and I feel my heart beating faster than it was before, adrenaline pumping through my body. I rush to the bathroom where I have the fastest shower ev
Aimee POV The doctor has been around and left, he is friends with Alec and I for once can’t believe he is doing all of this. He hasn’t left my side since he arrived, I can see that he is overthinking everything. I for myself a cup of coffee and walk to sit next to him. He looks at me and then turns his head and focus on his hands again. “Alec, you can go home”, I say and he looks at me shaking his head but he doesn’t open his mouth. I can almost see the wheels turning in his head as he looks at me. I know he is thinking and overthinking and he wants to ask things but he is being too polite to do so. “Go ahead”, I let out just before I bring my cup to my lips. Alec blinks his eyes and scrunches his nose and then clears his throat. “Who is he?”, he asks and I tale a deep breath. “I’ve told you before, he is my friend ,Alec, someone that was there for me when I needed him the most, he is like a bro
Alec POV I lost all sense of right and wrong when I kissed Aimee, I should’ve kept my hands to myself, and I can’t even begin to understand what happened and why I did that. I think she has put a spell on me, she made me feel something that I don’t want to. I push those thoughts away as I put my tie on. I will be picking her up in thirty minutes and giving her the ring. I look at the small box with the single diamond ring on it and then I close it again shoving it deep into my blazer pocket. I take a deep breath grabbing everything that I need before walking to my car to pick her up. I feel nervous and I don’t really know why, this is a manoeuvre to get what I want, I am not proposing for love, or anything like that. I need a woman by my side and she needs the money. I look at the papers resting on the seat next to me while I drive towards her house. She is gonna have to move in with me. I am not going to be dr
