Chapter 25
I can't believe I'm doing this. Well I can't believe this is happening, I'm travelling with Keith.
When he asked me to accompany him, I wasn't really thinking straight, I was still stunned about what happened with London. Everything after he left and I agreed to go with Keith, became a blur. Now I'm sitting beside Keith, who's busy on his laptop. Probably with work.
We're going to the airport right now and I'm nervously excited to go to Aspen. I've never been to Aspen. To add to this excitement, I'm going with Keith. I know he might be busy with work and all but when he's not busy, I'll just have to drag him around and create a little fun for the both of us. You know, creating memories.
My mom would be squealing with joy at watching me travel to places. She'd always known that I had a heart for travelling, experiencing new things, learning and storing memories of a life time.
I watch curiously as we pas

I'm jolted awake by a noise coming from the door. I don't have time to react when the door is opened and I hear someone enter the room.Good thing my back is facing the person.The bed dips and I hold my breath." Kea, I know you're awake." Joe.I sigh out in relief, glancing over my shoulder at him." Why are you here Joe?" "Joey, I'm here as Joey. Your friend, remember?" I sigh again, rolling over onto my back, turning my head to him. "What's wrong? " " I ruined everything." "And by everything you mean?" "My friendship with Keith, I snapped and basically hinted in me being in love with him. Gosh I feel stupid, feel embarrassed." I groan out, now thinking about earlier."Well it was bound to happen." "What do you mean?" "You've been holding onto

I shyly sneak a glance at Keith, whilst he's driving , a blush warms my cheeks at thoughts of what happened at the restaurant, his words, the way he was so gentle with me until now and of course, the awesome cake I can't wait to devour, that's on my lap.Not being able to control myself, I turn my head to really take him in. So many words ring in mind as I stare at him.Handsome, hot, dreamy......I could go on."Stop, that's distracting." He says."But I didn't even do anything." I try suppress a grin." You're staring." " Sorry." I quickly look away, playfully drumming my fingers on the cake box.A hand covers mine. I smile at this. Arriving home, he gets out and comes over to my side, helping me out of the car.Right when I'm out of the car, his jacket is placed over my shoulders, preventing the cold from making me

Yesterday surely felt like a dream. It was too unreal and right as I stand on the balcony, drinking my coffee just to warm up, because of the cold day, I think back to two years ago.I was still way too young compared to now, maybe a bit naive and hopeful of a better tomorrow, whenever a day became the yesterday.Being married surely changed my life in so many ways, I lived a life of waiting as my heart continued to beat for Keith. I never really opened up myself for people to actually get to know me, therefore I lost myself in everything to do with Keith.The divorce kinda opened my eyes yet still hurting my heart. I reunited with my friend James as well as made new ones, London and Theresa. Living on my own brought me back to when I was knocked into the reality of not having my mother around. Where it was just me and me alone.Yes my heart was breaking but I was starting to make decisions for myself a

" Keith?!"" I have to go." He says to Joe, his eyes glancing up at me for a second before rushing out of the house.I sigh, sitting down on the step and looking at the door as if he'll come right back in.This is how it's been since yesterday, after Mrs Davies came by to take Bella back to Riley, accompanied by Keith, surprisingly. He never once spoke to me after he returned. He simply distanced himself from me and today is no different.It's like we are back to how things were, and I can't blame it on anyone else but me.I messed things up.He overheard me talking to Bella, finally finding out my true feelings for him and now that he knows, I bet he doesn't want anything to do with me. How could I be so stupid as to not close the door?I'm afraid that I've even lost the remaining thing I have with Keith and that's our new found friendship.

He has not said anything, he's silent but just staring ahead, at what I've presented him with.I'd planned a special dinner just for us two, I had prepared myself on how I'd go about telling him how I felt, but of course everything else happened and I found myself confessing anyway. Keith then telling me that he felt the same way.I can't even describe how I feel right now, I'm bubbling with relief and happiness, even though there's a little bump in the way. There is so much I want us to talk about but right now, I just need a moment with him, for us to focus on only us and nothing else." You don't like it do you? " He turns to me and pulls me close to him, leaning forward and stealing a kiss." I love it, thank you." He says against my lips." I um kinda had everything planned out, so I would um," I drop m

The air is tense and neither one of us has spoken a word. I believe we are all waiting for someone to speak up first. Right when Elena showed up at our doorstep, not another word was spoken apart from me letting her in and offering her something to drink.I try move off Keith's lap but his arms around my waist tighten, preventing me from doing anything."Did you see the news?" Keith finally speaks up for the first time and I sigh in relief." Yes I did and I apologise for causing such a big scandal. I had a little too much to drink and I guess, I kinda acted out." She says sheepishly.Keith's phone rings. " Salvatore." He answers in a business tone.I glance at him, watching his brows scrunch together in concentration. He's so damn handsome that I want to just kiss him right now. Sensing me staring, his eyes meet mine and his lips twitch into a small

" Give her the baby." He says.I don't answer nor make a move to give Riley the baby." I said, give her the baby." He repeats, pressing the gun harder against my back." Give me the baby Mrs Salvatore." Riley says, holding up her arms as she takes a step closer, only stopping when I narrow my eyes at her." Oh shit, so you're the lady of the house, even better." I can almost hear him grinning proudly but I choose to ignore him, my eyes trained on her while I pull Bella close to my chest." Do you really think I would give her over to you, with a gun in hand?" I question her." I'm the mother, I have right over my child."She says, her eyes wide and nervous." I don't deny that, but do you look like one right now?" I arch my brow at her." Okay enough, enough - just give her the fucking baby and let's get down to business shall we?"

The month long process is almost over and only a few more days are left, I notice. Things have changed between Keith and I, but will they change on paper?Gosh, what am I thinking?I'm letting doubt creep into my mind and the next thing I know is, I'll start questioning the time I've spent with him here. No, I can't be thinking like this." Hey, you're finally awake." I'm pulled close, receiving a kiss to the temple.I close my eyes to the feel of his lips on my skin. This is what I need, being in his presence and being in his arms.' Am I saying this now because I'm in his arms?' My conscious asks.Oh my word, what is going on with me this morning?" Are you okay?" I'm knocked out of my thoughts and look up at Keith, who's eyes show concern." I'm okay, when are we leaving?"" In two hou
