Chapter 35....Saul...I went out to a certain bar I was fond of going in the past except the past month when I was too busy,I needed to get the stress out of me and what other best way to do this than at a place like this,I took a seat and ordered a drink and soon, different types of women made their way to my table trying to strike up a conversation with me, of course i brushed them off, I wasn't yet ready for that until I got my fill with drinking,The bar wasn't very crowded in the VIP room so the moment Sara Crown walked in, I saw her and immediately recognized her.I Watched her every step keenly wondering what the hell she was doing in a place like this, from what I heard from my father, she was a well trained person from the military and barely had a life of her own, despite her father being a very rich well known person, she was quite reserved and only a few people had heard about her.Sara walked over to an empty Table and ordered her beer,For a strange reason, I felt my
Chapter 36 ....Keith.... New place, and it seemed I was leaving a new life, I finally started working on my painting two days ago, its been a week since I started working and I must admit it was a very good week, JJ mathews was very nice and friendly and usually corrected me in some errors, I knew I was going to do well with him being my mentor. Max stayed home with his grandma and usually went to her bakery with her, I missed him most of the time but I was already getting used to working away from home, Sofia and I kept in contact most of the time and Saul, today was the day he was supposed to visit, I was working half day and couldnt wait to go home already, Just as I got busy with the painting, my phone began to ring and I reached for it, "Saul" I said a smiling forming on my lips "Keith, are you at the studio?" "Yes, I will be knocking off in an hour" I said looking at my wrist watch "Good, am on my way to pick you up" he said and immediately hang up, I rushed into the
Chapter 37...Keith....max ran to hug us as we made our way inside the kitchen"Is it just me or you have grown a little since you came here!" Saul asked lefted Max up as the little boy giggled,They disappeared going upstairs while I turned to see Rose looking at me"Max is happy to see his father" I said as I began helping her cook lunch"Yes, you have no idea how much he asks when his father is visiting when we are at the bakery""I can only imagine, Rose, thanks for taking care of max for me, you are really a life time hero" I smiled at her"Don't mention, I want to make up for the time I missed in max's llife And thank you for giving me that chance""I should be thanking you for helping me out so much" I said"And,,, what was that at the studio" she grinned at me, I was really hoping we were not going to have that conversation but here we were."What?" I asked acting as if I didnt know what exactly she was talking about"You and Saul where practically eating each other out and c
Chapter 38...Keith..."What's wrong with you?" I asked surprised at Saul's reaction, he got out of bed and dragged me further from the bed"I don't want us to wake max up" he said"What is it?" I asked looking at him keenly"What else did Sofia tell you?" He asked"Nothing, just the usual stay away from Saul " I said trying to mimic her voice, Saul had a serious expression on his face the whole time"Are you seeing someone on a serious note?" I asked now doubting my earlier confidence about Sofia lying about the whole issue"Of course not" he unexpectedly pulled me closer to him by the waist"What are you doing, I need to sleep" I said trying to free myself from his grip"Don't you want me to touch you?" I looked at him eyes wide, what the hell was I supposed to reply to that?, I cleared my throat "Of course not, I just want to sleep" I said"Well, I do want to hold you like this and have you think about me the whole time while am gone" he said"Saul stop it", he lowered his head un
Chapter 39...Keith...I had spent the rest of the day trying to call Sofia and waiting for Saul's call, Sofia didnt respond to any of my calls and Saul never called me,I was anxious to know what happened between them, I tried asking Rose but like me, she wasn't aware of anything not even the fact that Saul had left.I badly wanted to call Saul but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.The whole day passed without hearing from the two siblings, a day turned to a week and a week turned to two.For the past two weeks, I waited for Saul to call even to check up on max but he never did, I was upset and frustrated but yet I acted like it wasn't bothering me,Many times I looked at his number ready to call it but I couldn't, if he wanted, he would have called"Keith, are you sure you are okay?" Vera asked when I zoomed out yet again"Of course, what were you saying?" I asked trying to concentrate"I really Think you should just complete this some other time, we still have some time before
Chapter 40 ....Keith.... Saul fed me half of the soup before I began feeling like I couldnt take it anymore "That's enough" I said "You have to finish all of it", I shook my head and laid back in bed, Saul put the plate away and tacked me in, He surprisely laid next to me on the bed "Dont you have to be at work?" I asked after a few minutes of silence "You are sick, how could I work peacefully?" He asked, I let out a weak smile on my lips "But you didnt call me for the past two weeks, both you and Sofia" I said "I know, we have both been very busy" "With the election?" "Yes" Saul answered after a long pause, "Should I bring max over so you get to see him?" He asked, I shook my head "I will see him tomorrow" I replied with a deep sign. That evening, I slept peaceful, any time I woke up in the middle of the night in need of something, Saul was already there ready to give it to me, I had never thought Saul Madison was this caring and I couldn't help being even more fond of
Chapter 41 ...Saul... The next day, Keith was still horribly sick which got me even more restless, the Doctor had said she would be better but all I saw was her getting worse and I couldn't be more worried about her, I stared at her pale face as she laid in bed while I held her hand tightly, 'I hope you get better soon' I whispered even though I knew she wouldn't hear me, Just then, my phone vibrated on the bed and I reached for it, A frown formed on my face when I saw Sara was calling, It was Just 10am, what the hell did she want now?, I wondered, I decided to ignore the phone and turned it off, A few minutes later, I could hear the landline ringing downstairs and rushed there before it woke Keith up, of course I already knew who was calling and for the sake of shutting her up, I decided to answer the call "Saul where are you?" Sara asked immediately I answered "What's wrong?" I asked back "I asked where you are, am at the office and your sister just told me you haven't bee
Chapter 42 ...Sofia... "Dad why did you call me here?" I asked as I made my way into his study, "Wait patiently for your brother to come?" I rolled my eyes at that "I don't think he will even come, he won't leave Keith even for a second" I stated "What has really come over Saul and this woman huh?" "I don't know, its like he is obsessed" I harshed out "Then we need to move to the next part of our plan as soon as we can, Saul needs to propose to Sara" "Good luck with that, Sara on the other hand is smitten, your son is just being difficult for no reason", both of us breathed out in frustration, Saul was seriously getting on our nerves, I couldn't forget what he told me a few weeks ago about how he wasn't planning on staying away from keith and I better deal with it, Its like he woke up one morning and was obsessed all of a sudden which was soo unlike my brother, if I didn't know better, I would have thought Keith did something to him and speaking of which, I felt soo much res
