"The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands." ~ Alexandra Penney***Raina Williams.I had not seen Angelo for a while now, neither had the twins. I understood that he had other things to do like the wedding and taking care of his pregnant fiancée. What hurt the most is that he would be doing all these things for her that he never did for me. He deprived me off that joy. He deprived me of that happiness but he will give her that and all his attention. I had to go with my parents for all or rather most of my appointments, my swollen feet- he will be massaging Yasmine whenever she requests of it. I made it without him, i don't need him. I can take care of my kids and nothing else will matter. The way Ashton was so hurt a week back, it broke my heart. He promised to take him out the very next day with Ashley but later canceled, he said he was caught up with something."Raina ?" Derrick brought me back to daylight. Dressed in his black armani sleek suit and a whi
"A man inlove is incomplete until he is married then he is finished." ~ Zsa Zsa Gabor.***Angelo Le roux."I wonder if it's a little girl or boy?" My fiancée said rubbing her invisible baby bump.Frankly I do not care because I already have a little boy and girl. My pride and joy, Ashely and Ashton Le roux. My mind replied in my head, ofcourse i would not say that out loud."Whatever gender, I'm happy with it." I mumbled parking in the driveway for the Bridal shop, i wasn't getting in, she insisted she couldn't drive herself because her feet were swollen and she couldn't do much since the pregnancy."Now now baby you are going to ruin mommy's wedding dress, that's why we need to get married soon before you start showing...right daddy?" She was speaking while running her hand on her flat belly then she turned to me and I gulped down not knowing what to say. The wedding was already a week away and I just couldn't find my happiness, i was just getting cold feet or rather another person
"In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person." ~ Margaret C. Anderson.***Raina Williams.I was baking chocolate muffins for my babies, they were not here at the moment, they had gone on an excursion. I was glad something would take them off my thoughts about how their father has sorely abandoning them. I knew and saw how much it hurt them. It broke my heart watching them wait eagerly for their dad to call. He only called about four times and that was it.There was a knock on the door, so I removed my pink apron and wiped off the remaining chocolate dough on my fingers. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear as I made my way to the door. It couldn't be the twins, Grayson wasn't going to pick them at this time. Knowing Gray he would probably stuff them with McDonald's before finally bringing them home. In other ways Gray was starting to act like a father figure to my kids, besides his sexuality. He was always helping out, picking them up w
"I will be you crying shoulder, I'll be your love suicide, I'll be better when I'm older, I'll be the greatest fan of your life." ~ Edwin McCain.***Angelo Le roux."She loves you." Brad said with a cheeky smirk plastered on his face."You think so ?" I questioned, as Brad fixed my bow tie, it was finally the big day. The day Yasmine and I had been planning for over five months well she did all the planning, I couldn't care less if the decorations were green, blue, black or silver or if we got married at a circus."She is sacrificing her kids happiness for your own happiness. She thinks she is a burden on you and that includes the twins so she is moving away so you have peace. You know what went down last time they were in the same room. She has been on your mind since the bachelors party... are you sure you wanna do this?"The billionaire question, do I really want to do this? I don't know.There were four groomsman. Kennedy, Alma's husband. Brad my bestfriend and best man. Aaldrik
"Never explain- your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway." ~ Elbert Hubbard***Two years later.Change of scenery, change of familiar surroundings, change mise en scéne was all it took ; was all I needed. Moving on and getting over something or someone are two different things and I seemed to be failing dismally at both.New York was beyond beautiful, a busy city. I liked it here. I liked being close to my family, my brother would baby sit time and again. We would visit my parents every weekend or they would visit us here. Work was hard at first but Derrick was with me throughout the whole way, I could finally say I am the CEO of a legal law firm with plenty of professional lawyers who are always at a client's devoir. I called Richard Le roux every time I had some challenges, he was always willing to listen and assist where ever he could. He had helped me from when I was an intern at his law firm and even now he was still assisting me because he had al
"Life is just one damned thing after another." ~ Elbert Hubbard***Angelo Le roux.Rejection, how exactly do you deal with that? This had been something, I had never ever experienced in my life. Remembering kindergarten when I first told a girl I liked her, she immediately gave me a small shy kiss on the cheek and ran away. Third grade, i kissed a girl for the first time and I loved it. Seventh grade, i didn't have to chase girls because they chased me. Sophomore year, girls practically threw themselves at me ; even at that age I still couldn't ask a girl out. As funny as it sounds, all I had to do was nod my head and say yes if I liked the girl back because they did all the talking apparently and I never listened. Senior year, i had already slept with half of the cheerleading squad. I didn't know if girls liked me because of my boyish charm, my reputation or my families reputation. Bottomline is rejection and I were never in the same sentence.When she said no, I didn't expect it we
"A friend is someone who knows about you and loves you just the same." ~ Elbert Hubbard***Raina Williams."What the fudge are you going to do?" Grayson said in an irritated voice. "Why is he here? Did you call him? This is just great my BESTFRIEND FINALLY GETS OVER HER STUPID ASS FIRST LOVE THEN HE DECIDES TO POP OUT OF NO WHERE JUST GREAT." He yelled a little louder for my own liking so I immediately hit him on his left arm."Ow- that fucking hurts." He said in a hurt but amused tone."Gray, calm down first of all he is their father and hell no I didn't call him. He is here for them, it's their birthday and I don't think you and I or anyone should have a problem with that." I explained calmly."Did you see the way he was looking at you? that sexy devil-" i immediately stopped him from talking. Gray had the epitome of jumping into conclusions even if it wasn't necessary."We need to get back down stairs." I gave him an assuring smile."Okay but I'm watching him." He let out a sigh a
"Women are from Earth. Men are from Earth. Deal with it." ~ George Carlin.***Raina Williams.It was almost six pm and my parents were still not here anyways, I told them to be here at seven. Tim was conversing in a conversation about football with Angelo who had Ashley sat on his lap while Grayson typed away on his phone. I was in the kitchen with Cathy just making some few finishing touches to the dishes that we would later serve. Ashton was also playing video games not minding anyone. He had became an addict over the years, it took a while to get him to stop playing whenever he started. I still couldn't believe Angelo was here, when I woke up this morning, I didn't think this is how my day would go but so far everything had been civil and good."He loves you."Cathy said out of the blue making me stare at her in disbelief. I could never get it in my head that Angelo loved me even if he said it with his own mouth. I just- i think I told my body, heart and soul to accept that he cou
