Stay tuned...
I was lying down in a hospital bed connected to an IV for some reason as the nurse wrapped my leg while Domenic stood in the corner watching me. God, what would I pay to be able to read his thoughts right now? He probably wants to talk to me about the article, or maybe he knows I remember everything and wants to know why I hid it."All done, just ring me up when the IV runs out." The nurse says as she takes off the gloves and picks up her things."I hope you feel better." She says."Thank you." I say as she greets Domenic with a head gesture and leaves the room."How is Alice?" I ask him as he pushes off the wall and comes to sit next to me."Critical condition, the doctors don't think she will make it." He says as he tasks my hand."I can't help but feel sorry for her, maybe if she got a chance to change earlier a lot of things could have been different." I say as I intertwine my fingers with his."And how are you?" I ask. I want to know, but I also want to buy myself a few extra seco
"So does this mean you forgive me? For hiding the truth from you?" I ask Domenic, his kind eyes looking at me."After everything we have been through and the fact that you forgave me for things much worse, I'd be a fool to be mad at you now that we have a chance to truly and without any secrets, be happy." He says as he leans his forehead to mine. "Even if you were mad, what would you have done about it? We are already married, you are mine, Mr.Davis." I say jokingly."I could always spank you." He says with a low voice that makes me tremble before kissing me when someone knocks on the door and I push at his chest."Come in." I say and people just start walking in and gathering all around us.Dad, Gregory, Aunt Rachel and Eloise, Alex, Sasha, Adam, Leo and at last Mrs.Hendrics with Prue in her hands."What are all of you doing here? I would have come home as soon as the IV ran out." I say as I lift my hands to take Prue."Do you know our family?" Alex asks sarcastically."I'm just gla
"Are you sure you want to be here?" Dominic asks as we walk over the wet grass and I hold myself by his arm. "I shouldn't have brought you to New York, the doctor said you needed to rest that leg." He says to my limping state. "I needed to be here, she was a big part of our story and now that part has come to an end. It's the end of a circle." I say as we reach the cemetery where Alice's funeral is being held. "Yeah, I still can't believe she died. She was finally getting a chance to change, and her mother took that away from her once again." Domenic was shaken by the news when the nurse told us, so was I. Alice saved my baby, she saved Domenic. The reason why I get to have my family by my side is that that is something I will forever be grateful for. It doesn't change the fact that Leo is gone, and without him, his family fell apart. Henry, even tho we did try to help will have to serve his punishment, but I promised I would take care of the twins and his mother just like I promise
Miguel got out of the car to open the door for me and when I saw the cafe... I couldn't believe my eyes. The cafe was open and clearly busy, with people coming out and going in simultaneously."What?... How is this possible?" I ask as Domenic offers me his hand to support myself."I reopened it for you. This was once your dream, and I want to be the man who makes your dreams come true. Want to go inside?" He asks as I stare at the door while the open sign moves left and right because of the wind."Yeah...Yes. Let's go in." I say, still stunned by the surprise as Domenic helps me walk.I enter the threshold and observe the chatter of the people buzzing all over the place as the familiar smell of freshly ground coffee fills my nostrils. "God how I missed this place." Everything was back to how I had left it, the books, the freshly replastered couch, the flowers Domenic originally filled the place. I look up to the second story of the cafe balcony when I hear a familiar voice."Autumn?"
"I can't believe it's your prom night. You grow up so fast, my baby is 18." Mom said as she took pictures of me in my prom dress. "Mom enough with the pictures, please," I begged her. "Hey let me make some memories, I already feel bad enough that I have to go to work. I won't even get to see your date.” Mom said as she laid down the camera and came to hug me. “Even though I was so proud of you for achieving this scholarship I always worried about how they would treat you in that private school.” She said as she brushed my curls. "Well I didn't really care about fitting in, I was there to learn, to get opportunities for college. But I managed to make a friend or two."And that friend that's taking you to prom, is there any chance he will become a boyfriend in the future?" As close as I am with Mom I never really talked to her about Domenic. "Don't you need to go to work now Mom?" I try to turn the conversation. "Uhh the old change the topic scheme, fine fine I'm leaving but I will
All of a sudden I was woken up by the sound of my alarm clock. I can't believe that nightmare is back, I was doing so good. Why was it back now? I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, it's been more than ten years since that night yet I still can't forget about it. The nightmare always seems to find me. I got dressed quickly and got ready for work. Luckily I don't live far away, living above where you work has some privileges. The first two floors are my library cafe, I have to say I'm proud of myself for what I created. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good book or work on paper while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee accompanies you while sharing a conversation with a friend.The third floor I made into my apartment, I still own my mother's house but since her passing, I just kind of stay here.I got downstairs just as Jess, the girl who works for me opened the cafe. "Morning boss." She said as she put her apron on."Morning Jess, can you please prepare the la
That voice, it cant be him. "What old lady?" Summer asked him. He opened a file he had in his hands. "Sarah James." My mother. "My brother, you are very misinformed. I know the owner of this place." Summer looked in my direction. "Autumn come to meet my brother, Domenic this is Autumn." When he turned around, I... I thought my world shattered all over again. At least he looked as shocked as me while Summer just stared at us. "Autumn, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Summer asked me. "Autumn." Domenic said my name. He looked older yes, but more handsome than ever. "As it turned out my brother is the shark that wants to buy this place." Summer smacked him on the shoulder. "Your brother? You are a Davis Jones?" I asked shocked, she said she was Summer Danes. "Yes, wait you two know each other?" Do we know each other? No, we don't. The man that I knew never existed. I'm going to be sick. "We went to the same high school." Domenic said. His voice made me more s
We said goodbye and I went the rest of my day feeling a lot better about the situation between me and Summer. Later she sent me a text about where we were gonna meet up, It's a good thing I looked at the restaurant before going otherwise I would have come in jeans. I put on my green dress that suited my eyes and looked lovely with my chocolate brown curly hair. I got there a bit early and while I waiting I scrolled on my phone until I sensed Summer sat down at the table. "Took you long enough." I said as I set my phone down, but when I looked up I saw Domenic sitting in front of me. "First of all Summer has nothing to do with this, she is coming I just told her driver to take a few wrong turns. She wouldn't corner you like this." Stay calm Autumn, you already gave him the satisfaction of seeing you affected by his presence. "She wouldn't, but obviously you would." I said as I took a sip of water, my throat suddenly felt as dry as a desert. He scratched his beard and tugged at his e
