Mess With Love Chapter 20
Vincent was dying to have a dance with Alice. He couldn’t get his head straight after he saw her walk into the church. The dress was making him dizzy. The Garnet color was very bold. From behind it might look basic, but when she spins around, Vincent could only swallow hard or reach for his glass. He needed the liquid after catching a glimpse of her. The dress was floor length, long sleeve with a v neck. Her chest was not on display, but her legs were from the one slit in the dress. The gown was a perfect fit for her. The luxe double knit fabric was snuggly giving her body the right amount of display. Not too revealing, but still sexy. The material was stretchy. It was smoothing over her curves with minimal effort. Vincent had seen it when she moved. His eyes had been thorough when he was looking at her. “You are staring again?” Katy whisper-hissed at Vincent. “Have you seen her husband?” Vincent shifted his gaze from Alice and looked around. “I don’t care. You shouldn’t either.”
Mess With Love Chapter 21
Megan and Alice were as high as the kites after smoking two strong joints. Giggling in the middle of the grapevine trellis while plucking out grapes. The distant music they heard once had faded away. They were unaware they had gone completely far off from the wedding. “I found a red one,” Megan screamed, jumping and lifting a grape up in the sky to examine it. “Let’s see.” Alice dropped a handful of her grapes and walked to Megan. “I hear horses,” Alice stopped and grinned. “Let’s go ride a horse.” Alice pulled Megan's hand, making her drop her grapes, dragging her to where she heard the horses. They were close to the vineyard's riverbank. Megan gasps, “Let’s go swimming,” she giggled. “You go. I want to ride that horse,” Alice added. “We can set them free. They can run into the river with me.” Megan suggested. Alice nodded, climbing onto the wooden fence with her heels. Megan was gripping the post, shaking it hard with grunts, trying to pull away the wooden plank. "Open. O
Mess With Love Chapter 22
Alice acted like the scorned woman she was. Her divorce was a tremendous battle she fought fiercely. Her lawyer was a beast. The final agreement was drawn and ready for her signature. Alice never batted an eyelid or looked at Oliver, who was sitting at the same table across from her with his lawyer.“Shall we proceed?” Oliver’s lawyer, Buck, spoke.“Of course,” Alice’s lawyer Craig nodded.Oliver was glaring at Alice for good reason. He was about to be signing off and agreeing to settle a large sum on top of a lot of demands Alice wanted. Alice took advice from Oliver's mother and made him pay.“I will read the contents of this agreement.” Buck cleared his throat, clearly weary.“Let’s get this over with. I have things to do.” Oliver snarled, glaring at Alice, who smirked and held her chin up. Megan had made sure to dress her in a killer red dress with a pair of red suede heels. Her lips were ruby red. She had dark and smoky eyes. Her hair was piled up in a bun. She looked killer and
Mess With Love Chapter 23
Alice buried herself in her work. Her way of avoiding the pain. She didn’t take time to process after her divorce. Peace Lilies Foundation was her new distraction. She was working herself to the bone and not sparing time for anyone. When she first started, it seemed reasonable that she needed to be more involved, but after six months, Alice seemed obsessed. She was barely sleeping or eating enough. She looked underweight.“You are not doing this again,” Megan sighed as she walked into Alice’s large office.“I’m busy, Megan,” Alice responded, typing on her laptop. “I have a fundraiser coming next week. Things have to be perfect.”“Alice,” Megan pushed Alice’s chair back.“No!” Alice shrieked, “Meg, I am working.”“You need to stop. Everyone is waiting for you.”“I have to finish the presentation for tomorrow. I still have a meeting at two.”“Alice, this is your birthday, and you promised you would be done by eleven. It’s fifteen minutes after twelve. Cancel the meeting.”“I can't,” Ali

Vincent was running late. He was thinking over one thing. His gift to Alice. He was not sure if he still was going to go over with it. He had been sure when he organized everything, but now he was doubtful. Vincent wasn’t sure about the flowers he was holding, either. It seemed obvious and overkill. The flowers were too much. Vincent had decided to lose the flowers. He slapped the bouquet of white roses on her sister’s chest. Katy was startled and looked at him, taking off her one AirPod from her ear. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Hold the flowers. You can give them to her when we arrive.” “No,” she refused, “You got her these flowers. I’m not giving them to her.” “Do as I say and take the damn flowers,” Vincent added just as the elevator opened. “Vincent,” Katy hissed, holding the flowers walking behind him. “There are plenty of flowers around.” Vincent looked at her sister. “Put them somewhere. You don’t have to give them to her.” “I’ll give them to her,” Katy scowled, “a

Alice had been tipsy for a long time to really care about anything. This was her birthday, and she was open to many things. Vincent sweeping her away life a princess to a mysterious castle was making her skin tingle. They were too close and acting very casual. Alice didn't mind at all. She was excited and very curious."Are we there yet?" she asked.The afro beats music she was listening to were groovy, but she wanted to know where she was going. Vincent didn't answer her. Her senses were misfiring because of the way Vincent was holding her. She didn't know where he was taking her, but her stomach was doing somersaults. She wiggles and held Vincent's neck closer. Her heart rate went up."Vincent?" Alice called him.He had been calm before, but now his heart was pounding. Alice felt a shift from him before she was placed on something soft. She was tempted to take the blindfold off, but took a deep breath. She trusted Vincent. It could also be the alcohol giving her the courage to see w

Vincent had only been teasing Alice by reading her diary. He didn't expect it to lead to this. Alice was straddling her and leaned close. His mind had misread the situation because she had gone for the kill.This was not a drill. The kiss was happening. Alice had pressed her lips on him and he stopped acting like everything about today was merely him giving Alice the best memorable birthday. They were kissing, and this was not part of the plan.Did he care?Hell no. Vincent grabbed the back of Alice's neck and took over the kiss. The need and want were visible from the way their tongues moved. Thing were going too fast. "Wait?" Vincent quickly stood and moved Alice across from him, his heart pounding. He quickly went to have a seat to hide his friction. Alice's mouth was swollen, and she was looking at him in confusion and he understood her unasked question.Why stop? He didn't want to stop, but he had to. As much as he wanted to pull away from the table setting and take her on the
Mess With Love Chapter 27
Alice enjoyed dancing to Perfect by Ed Sheeran the most that they danced to the song more than once. It had been perfect to be in his arms and slow dancing like there was no tomorrow. Alice forgot all her worries and only saw their moment. Her heart was pounding, and she was grinning and happy."Who knew you could be such a gentleman?" Alice looked up at Vincent."If you see me as one, that means I did my job right," he murmured, the response making Alice feel mush."Do we really have to go back?" Alice pouted."Your family and friends are waiting for you. I believe they still have more thing in store for you."Alice scoffed. "They want me drunk.""They mean well," Vincent grinned.Alice pouted but swayed around with Vincent, feeling like she was teleported to cloud nine. She was glad Vincent remembered one of her wishful thinking and brought it to life. They had dinner, ate her favorite food in the entire world, and danced together. If Alice was to drop dead now. She would go with a
