Who holds the key to my heart

Chapter 11

Kate’s POV

I love Christmas, it’s only a few weeks away and I can’t wait. It is my sister’s

and my favourite holiday; we always do our shopping together. The friends and

family, the atmosphere, the food and drinks, the decorations and festivities, it is

all absolutely amazing; but I hate the festive rush, the shopping and that everywhere

is always so full of people, yet I enjoy the liveliness. I need to get to do my

Christmas shopping. Wes said he had a surprise for us, and I can’t wait for him

to come home, firstly so that I can have his credit card, and secondly so he can

tell me what this surprise is all about. I have a good job, but I like spending my

husband’s money. The thought makes me smile. I hear the garage and I know

that Wes is home. William is with Nisha; he sure fell fast and hard. I don’t know

how I feel about her, but he is a grown man and very stubborn, he never listens

to me. I’ve met her twice, both times at a family gathering, and my sister says it

seems like she is always jumpy and seems like she has a big secret; I don’t know,

might just be our imagination. Lilly and Romeo are in some relationship, she’s so

young and I am always worried about her. I am very uncertain about him too. I

like him, but he has broken her heart before. The last time they were together, he

disappeared with no reason, or at least that is my assumption because it is so hard

to get what is happening with the two of them. I get up and greet my husband.

Wesley’s POV:

My wife loves Christmas and I know that this time of the year before the holidays

I don’t see her much. She goes shopping with her sister and mother and

sometimes she drags me along, but I know she loves going with them. I love the

holidays too, but I like the holidays to have a holiday. Kate is always busy, it’s like

a second job keeping up with her. I want a vacation - the beach, blue sky, warm

seawater, and sand between my toes. Kate just wants her whole family around

and she always cooks up a storm. I love my wife’s food; the size of my belly shows

just how much.

Edward’s POV

I am sitting at work, in my office, alone. I am daydreaming, imagining myself

on a boat on the open water, just enjoying the sound of the waves and relaxing.

I want to take Lisa and the boys away this year in December for the holidays,

she needs one. After the bad news we received, they deserve a break, so I end my

daydreams and I plan to make it a reality. I call my assistant; he is such a nerd.

Lisa insisted I have a male assistant and I actually like this guy; he is efficient, and

I never have to ask him twice. “Sam, can you please come in here for a minute?”

He comes straight away, notepad and pen in hand, ready to get instructions, I

love it. “Please find me a holiday destination, somewhere local, maybe Kalk Bay

Harbour? Okay wait, not maybe. Get me accommodation there, book flights

and make sure we are in first class. It will be my wife and myself and my sons.”

I think to myself rather than say it out loud that Romeo will probably give me

grief about going, since he’s a grown man now, but he needs to spend time with

his family - this will make Lisa happy.

I also need you to get me two cars I can rent that side, one for us all and one for

just Lisa and me in case we want to separate for a day. Make sure Romeo has

his own place and space, I want him to feel like he knows I thought about him.

Also get reservations at restaurants, some nights just for Lisa and me, and most

nights for us all. Get back to me when you have some plans in place. He leaves

in a rush, and I am on a mission. Within the hour, Sam has booked a cosy home

on the beach, and I love it. It is huge and we won’t get in each other’s way. There

is an upstairs apartment for Romeo, with his own entrance, we are close to the

beach and there is a warm swimming pool. Lisa will love it. Dillan is easy-going

so I know he will love the place regardless.

I have been to Kalk Bay Harbour, you can buy fish and chips there and eat it on

the pier next to the small boats. I’d like to go back there because I know Lisa likes

to try the locals’ cuisines and she wants to experience their lifestyles. There is a

genuinely nice man named Albert who works on the corner, creating the most

beautiful sculptures out of wire and metal; I hope he is still there. The boys will

enjoy the talent out there. Although I know they are both in serious relationships,

I think they are just too young, and they have time to explore. I am at

peace when Sam lets me know everything is in place and in three weeks we will

be in the Western Cape, relaxing and sightseeing.
