Alina’s Redemption Tablet
TRENT'S POV “Hey, come here, tiger,” I bounced on the sofa and patted the space next to me. Alina might have managed to distract me for a fraction of a second in that well-played move of hers, but if she thought that a kiss on the cheek was enough to keep me off her case, then she needed to try harder. Maybe if she captured my lips in hers, then that would keep me from asking any more God damned questions... Just saying, of course. I swatted away the imaginations. I would have better luck trying to get Niguez to tell me what he knew anyway.Niguez grudgingly left his tablet and walked over to meet me. “Sup men?” he demanded as he jumped on the sofa. “Men?” I muttered, the corner of my eyes twitching. What was it with this kid and how he was growing so fast? It was getting alarming, even for me. I was pretty sure that I didn't teach him that one. He grinned up at me, showing off his front teeth. “Yeah, that's what men call themselves, uncle Trent.” he said puffing up his tiny ch
Alina’s Redemption Rare Suprise
ALINA'S POV —Well, at least Trent wasn't joking when he said that he was going to make it up to us. Why, I didn't exactly know what was up to or why he was doing this, I sure was grateful. Although he didn't stress me about what happened at the Star Frost labs anymore, we seemed to have an unspoken agreement that our private life, activated to family with the kept personal and well private. That made me wonder, though, how long was it going to keep his own problems to himself while thinking that he could play the knight in shiny armor every single time. I think he was still upset, though, especially when I consider the fact that he kind of left our dinner halfway through. I wanted to talk, but my son came back down, and poof, he was gone. I called him, but he said that he had an emergency to attend to and that he would make it up to me the following day. Of course, I didn't really hold his word to that. He seemed to be really busy most of the time these days, and I wouldn't be
Alina’s Redemption Folding
ALINA POV—Why did I have a guy feeling that Trent was behind the sudden day off?“How did you know?” I asked Trent as I got into his car. He shrugged giving me one of his all knowing smiles. “Come on, tell me.” I urged him. The mystery was killing me. For all I knew, he was just a random worker in the tech company and there was no way that the manager would tell him that he was giving me the day off. Unless it was some general treatment but that would mean that everyone got the day off and that didn't even make any sense. It wasn't even worker's day. “I just know Alina,” he said, leaning in as he clicked the seatbelt, trapping me in place. I pouted folding my hands. “Don't give me that. You said we wouldn't jeep things from ourselves anymore,”He went to the other side of the car and slipped unti the driver's seat with a sigh. “I choose to be positive Alina, you should try it too. If you're lucky magic might happen. ”“Besides, a magician never tells his secrets. ” he added wi
Alina’s Redemption Rosy Cheeks
TRENT POV—I found myself glancing back at her ever so often. If there was one thing I could say, it was that my plan had worked perfectly well. Well, it wasn't really a plan in the first place, since I was only playing it by ear. I watched her with her cheeks all rosy as she swam in the water, showing off her strong strokes, just because, well, she had spent most of her years growing up in the countryside in Salamina, and so she decided to show off her superior swimming skills and rub it in my face because I basically lived all my life on business trips and touring the whole of America and Britain before I was sixteen. But of course, she didn't have to know about all of that. A part of me felt guilty for not telling her everything about me, especially since I was getting really close to her, but in reality, it wasn't really considered a lie since she didn't really ask me about it in the first place. Her views on me were mostly based on assumptions that she had reached over the y
Alina’s Redemption Warned
ALINA POVOnly then did I truly realize how little I knew about Trent. And I was determined to change that fact. I noticed the way he always behaved, choosing to be a gentleman all the time, choosing to be there for me instead of telling me what was bothering him, choosing to hear and listen instead of speaking himself. So much so that I began to see him as some sort of perfect human without any problems whatsoever. But that was so wrong, wasn't it? He was human, just like every other person, and he had problems too - inner demons that he kept caged.He didn't usually give me this opportunity to see him so raw, so I was going to make the most of it. My mind warned me that I should respect his boundaries and not push him too far. He said he didn't want to talk about his sister, but I didn't even know her name yet. How could I just give up like that?"Come on," I muttered, probing him gently. "You said you were going to answer my question, didn't you? Are you backing out now?"He bi
Alina’s Redemption hours of trying
ALINA'S POV —I spent the last couple of hours trying to convince Trent that I had to spend the weekend at Vanessa's. He was really obstinate and difficult, and kept on reminding me that I couldn't live without him. "Come on, Trent," I flung my hands in the air, breathless. His narcissistic vibes were stronger than I thought. After the... well, after the beach, something had changed between us, and he even used his charms to convince me into staying in his house. By charms, I meant invading my space too much that it was no longer room enough for three people. I swear he nearly brought in a mattress. So now, I was making some homemade pancakes for Niguez and me before we left, and he was being a kid, hugging me from behind and whining all over my shoulders about how much I loved him and couldn't live without him."Trent, I lived twenty-three years without you in my life," I said slowly, making sure I got my point across. He drew back in shock, "How come I didn't know about that?
Alina’s Redemption investigation
TRENT POV We were officially dating now. There was a strange kind of freedom that came with it, like she was finally mine, no matter what. Like I was boundless now, and she was tailor made for me. And why I would rather she spent the weekend that her boss Clarence had not so graciously given her off... I swear I had nothing to do with it. Well maybe I had a fit with him for making her go tu the star frost labs once I figured it out for him. I told him to investigate their CEO. I didn't actually think that he would use her to do the job for him so I threatened him with his job if he didn't make it up to her and I may or may not have threatened him witb his life too when he pointed out that the day off he gave her to yhe beach was something. It wasn't enough to placate my anger, simply because I did not know that he went behind my back before that time .On the bright side, she finally embraced those feelings and let me in, okay she still glared at me in times like this when Niguez
Alina’s Redemption next Best Thing
Gomes POV —Frankly speaking, for a long time now, I had watched from afar and bided my time carefully, using the opportunity to attend to other things. The truth was that I didn't care about some girl I had slept with in university. For one thing, we all could agree that it was a huge mistake. And I meant it when I said that I had a lot better things to do with my life than to throw away my future and father a child.It wasn't about being caring; it was about priorities. And then, I was wise enough to make the firm decisions to survive. I wasn't ready for the responsibility. There was too much at stake, too much to achieve, and I couldn't throw all that away. I would never be happy, and neither would she.So I did the next best thing.I made her hate me so that she would go away. It worked, but she was too weak. She broke under the pressure and forgot that she was on a freaking scholarship. Scholarship students weren't allowed to slack. They certainly were not supposed to carry teena
