ALEXA’S POV A few days had passed since Calan and I had had dinner, and we hadn’t been seen mu h of each other mainly because I had been avoiding him. Why? Mainly because I ended up falling harder for him every time I saw him, and it scared me, I felt like I was risking everything; and by everything I meant my life, and more push, one more heartbreak and I’d just quit and let myself go.It was a Monday today and I had decided to resume classes today, I had decided to pull myself together and carry on, I had decided that staying indoors while trying to hide from a person I lived with wouldn’t do me much good. And by 8am I had showered and was dressed and ready to head out, I had just gotten to the stairs when I heard him call my name and my head snapped back to face him at once. He was also dressed and ready for work, and his brow creased slightly as he advanced towards me, I felt my heart beat faster and harder against my chest with every step he took towards me. He had no doubt n
ALEXA’S POV The pair walked up to me quickly, and before i could comprehend what was happening Sasha lunged at me and hugged me tightly, so tightly that I became uncomfortable. I cleared my throat quietly as I subtly tried to get her off me; Rayne noticed and he smirked whilst shaking his head amusedly.“You’re crushing her, Sash”. He said as he reached out and took her arm. “Let go of her”.I was glad he finally pried her off me. Sasha chuckled heartily.“Cut me some slack, dude, I just realized I missed her so much”. She said. Her gaze snapped back to mine and she threw her hands around in a dramatic gesture. “What the hell girl? You’ve been MIA for like…ever”. I brushed my hair from my face as I thought about what to say, where would I begin? How could I even talk about it without bursting into tears and breaking down all over again? They both stood there watching me, and though I knew Rayne wouldn’t probe me to answer if I didn’t, I knew Sasha most definitely would so I said:
“Je voudrais ma boisson tres froide s’il vous plait, merci”. April was saying to a waiter while Micheal absentmindedly tapped away on his screen. it had been three days since Micheal had decided that he needed a break, three days since April had squealed excitedly and told him that she had truly needed the vacation for a long time now. *Flashback*‘I just couldn’t go on a vacation without you”. She had said to him.And he had asked her why of course. He didn’t understand why she would want to go on a vacation but wouldn’t because he didn’t go with her. She had shrugged. ‘I don’t know. I guess it’s the same way I feel going out to eat alone, makes me feel….lonely’. She had told him. And once again he had found himself feeling like shit. He may have been a very busy person but he was certain he could make time to eat out with the woman he had married, he was sure he could conveniently make enough time to go out with her from time to time, yet he hadn’t even attempted. He had cle
ALEXA’S POV I had returned from school, took my bath and had dinner while being conscious of the fact that it was about to rain and Calan still wasn’t back. Something told me he wasn’t back probably because he wanted me to have dinner without him so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable, and I was truly beginning to feel bad. I had been upstairs in my room trying to catch up on school stuff; I had abysmally failed to focus, and so I had headed downstairs to the living room. It was a cold evening and I surprisingly found that I was enjoying the chilly weather. I had settled down on a couch and decided that I would wait here till he returned, and when an hour passed I decided to do the reasonable thing and call him. My heart pounded with every second as I dialed his number, and my breath hitched when he answered the call, from some reason I almost had a heart attack. “Good evening, Alexa”. His deep voice came smoothly from the other side. And for a moment I didn’t know what to say, for
A quiet groan left April as her eyes fluttered open to find harsh rays of sunlight streaking into the room. She raised her hand to shield her face from the lights which sort to blind her, it felt as though her head was about to split in two. She wasn’t surprised though, it was what you got for drinking so much. Her recollection of the previous night wasn’t exactly clear but she remembered enough to know that she had been a mess; she had thrown up countless times before passing out. “You’re awake”. She blinked a couple of times to clear her vision on hearing Micheal’s voice, she knew he was walking towards her from the sound of advancing footsteps and she suddenly felt like melting. She had made a complete and absolute fool out of herself yesterday, just thinking about it made her want to choke herself. She lowered her hand when her eyes became accustomed to the lights and her somewhat blurry gaze met his. “Good morning, April”. He greeted with the faintest of smiles. She averte
ALEXA’S POV I had woken up to find the covers still drawn over my body which was normal because I had tossed and turned when I was asleep, however, what was different was the fact that the scent of sandalwood had been with me all night; for a moment I had thought Calan had been beside me during the night, but then I recalled that his coat had been draped over me, it probably had been why I had slept so soundly. I could tell it was a cool morning because I was still under the covers and I wasn’t even hot at all, on the contrary I felt rather cold. Nonetheless, I pushed the covers of myself and climbed out of bed slowly, and as I did his coat fell over my shoulders and like always; I felt empty. I let out a breath, it was too early for this, I had things to do, I had to prepare for the day and head out in time for my first class. With that in mind, I had pulled myself together and had headed to the bathroom to freshen up. And it wasn’t long before I was dressed and ready to head out,
I had taken the coat with me to the dining room, and for some reason my heart pounded heavily against my chest as I made my way there; I was just returning a coat but yet I was almost breathless, yet I was almost having a heart attack. I swallowed an imaginary lump that had formed in my throat before I pushed the door open quietly and made my way into the dining area. I noticed the table was set but void of his presence, and for some reason I begun feeling really nervous and anxious as all thoughts crossed my mind. What if he wasn’t here because he wasn’t coming? And what if he wasn’t coming because he thought he was making me uncomfortable. I was probably overthinking the whole thing but I very well couldn’t help it, I couldn’t help a lot of things these days. And just as I turned around to leave I bumped into something….or someone, I bumped into him and his hand went around me to keep me from losing my balance. I’m glad he had done that cause my heart almost leapt out of my mou
Third person's POV It wasn't like April wasnt used to drinking, it was just that she was the worst there was with alcohol, and one would think that she would learn from the excruciating hangovers but she just didn't, perhaps she would have gotten drunk if she had. It was well into the day now and it was safe to say that she still felt like shit. But of course, that didn't stop her from going out with Micheal, death wad probably the only thing that would stop her from going with him, and even if she was dead she'd probably still be with him in spirit. "We can go tomorrow if you still don't feel Alright". Micheal had said to her. It wasnt hard to notice that she wasn't quite herself; her head hurt terrebly and she kept on flinching from the slightest noise or contact, and not to mention the fact that she was slightly feverish and weakened from all the throwing up. She had shook the very head that ached her quickly and had told him sne wouldn't wait till tomorrow, she couldn't.
