His Forever Love (West Family) Book1

Chapter 11

Milo’s POV

After leaving the office, Asher and I decided to go grab lunch at LaFaye’s Diner. LaFaye’s Diner is a very popular diner in AZ; it is own by Adairia’s cousin Ray Jenkins and his best friend Trigg Jackson, Ray named it after his deceased fiancée. We walked into the diner and realized that it is a full house this afternoon. LaFaye’s is popular for their fried chicken and macaroni, the best in town.

It was great to get out of the office because I didn’t want to think about my drama with Iris or try to fight my feeling for Adairia. My feelings for Adairia are getting stronger. After seeing her today I can’t stop thinking about her. She looked so beautiful in that purple skirt dress suit and when she walked out of my office I couldn’t take my eyes off of her ass, it was nice and round and it looked like it was made for me to grab. I just want to grab her ass while I kiss her deeply. I bet it will fit perfectly in the palm of my hand.

I got so jealous when she told Asher that she was going on a lunch date with a guy she went to college with. I was literally seeing red, I know I didn’t have a right to feel that way but I did. I haven’t been with or looked at another woman because I was with Iris for 5 years but Adairia she is something different, she brings joy into my life, she makes me laugh, and she’s caring. Even when I was with Iris I would look at Adairia differently but I would never act on it because I was always faithful to Iris. Don’t get me wrong I loved Iris and still do but I always had this attraction to Adairia ever since our first kiss a few years ago.

I got with Iris to distract me from my feelings for Adairia and then we fell in love and had our son. Kenny is my greatest gift of all out of that relationship. I won’t say I’ll never get back with Iris because love like that just doesn’t die that quickly. I want Iris to focus on herself and work on herself first before we can even think about getting back together.

She hasn’t seen, spoke to, or asked for our son in 2 months and that shows me she just don’t give a damn about him. That pisses me off more than anything, there were times in the beginning that Kenny would cry and ask for his mom but he don’t anymore and I won’t call or text her for Kenny to speak to her because he is a child, she needs to call and check on him, it shouldn’t be the other way around. First and foremost my son comes first always and even if I and Iris don’t get back together, whoever comes into my life will have to accept my son too no matter what.

We were standing at the entrance of LaFaye’s looking around for a place to sit when I seen Adairia at a table in the corner laughing with her date and holding hands. I felt my blood pressure rise and my skin crawling. How dare he be over there laughing with her and touching her, that’s suppose to be me not him. I got myself together before I tapped Ash on the shoulder; he looked over at me, “look, Adairia is over there with her date let’s go introduce ourselves.” I said and pointed to where I seen them sitting. He gave me a devilish look and started walking over to where they were, when we were half way to their table, they was getting up to leave so we pick up our speed, when we reached there table Adairia ran smack dead into us and her friend grabbed her around the waist to stop her from falling. I internally screamed in my head, if he doesn’t get his hands off of her I’m going to snap his neck.

“Hello Adairia, we seen you over here and thought we come say hi.” I said trying to sound innocent; she gave me a look of suspension but didn’t say anything. She looked between Ash and I, “hey guys, funny running into you here.” She said with her eyebrows rose. “Hey little bit, like Milo said we just wanted to come say hi.”

“You guys just saw me less then an hour ago at you guys’ office, so cut the crap.” She said with her arms crossed over her chest. I had to try to keep my eyes from looking down because when she did that it pushed her breast up making them stand at attention and I was still pissed because this guy still had his arms wrapped around her waist.

“Aren’t you going to introduce us to your date Adairia?” Asher asked eyeing the guy up and down. She looked behind her and smiled at the guy, “This is Marco, Marco this is Asher Jones and Milo West. Asher is like a big brother to me and Milo is Tamala’s older brother.” I looked at her like she grew 3 heads. She can’t be f*****g serious right now; I know she has to be playing with me. She just introduced me like I was nothing to her “Milo is Tamala’s older brother”, really? At that point I was fuming on the inside. I knew Adairia since she was 4 years old, which is practically her whole life, at one point I use to look at her like a sister until I started seeing her as something more. Marco stuck out his hand for us to shake it, “What’s up, it’s nice to meet you. Adairia, Tammy and Alli are great women.”

“And how did y’all meet again?” I asked a little bitterly.

“We met in college.”

“You live here or are you just here visiting Dairia?” Ash asked.

“I live here, born and raised.”

“OK, enough of the interrogation guys. We are on our way out. Enjoy your lunch I’ll see y’all next week.” She said and kissed us on the cheek.

“Alright we’ll let you go but be safe and call us if you need anything.” Asher said while looking Marco up and down.

I watch them walk out of the Diner with his arm still around her waist, I wanted to go snatch her out of his arms but I know that would’ve caused a scene and they would’ve looked at me like I’m crazy because nobody knows how I feel about Adairia but me.

Adairia’s POV

“I had a great time Marco.” I said when we were walking to my car.

“I had a good time too; I hope it wasn’t ruined by all that drama that happened in the beginning.”

“No, it wasn’t ruined at all. I honestly forgot about it.” I said with a grin.

“So does that mean I’ll get another date.” He said with a slight grin on his face, it made him look so cute and innocent.

“Of course.” I said while opening my car door and sliding in.

“Alright get home safely.” He said while shutting my door. I turned on my car and pulled off to head over to my sisters’ house to talk about the place for our business.

I felt kind of bad for how I introduce Milo to Marco. He probably thought he didn’t mean anything to me and that’s not the case at all he means everything to me but he been sending me mix signals ever since we kissed a few years ago and I’m over it. I’m 22 years old and is a grown ass woman I don’t have time to play these childish ass games and wonder if you like me or not. I’m not going to sit around and twiddle my thumbs waiting on him to come around, that’s just not going to happen.

Milo will probably always have a piece of my heart but I knew it was time to move on. I am ready to settle down and start a family and I’m not going to wait around for him to come to his senses and realize I’m the one for him.

About 30 minutes later I pulled into my sister driveway and parked next to her 2020 BMW X2 M35i, we actually got the same car but hers black and mine is white. I got out of the car and walked up her long stairs, I would never know why she has to have so many stairs just to get to the front door. I pulled out my spare key to her house and walked in, “Alli, I’m here.” I screamed through the house as I walked into her kitchen to get a bottle of water, “I’ll be down in a minute.” She screamed back.

I know you probably wondering how we have our own place when we just got out of college, well is simple actually, for starters our family is very well off and they worked very hard for their fortune and around the time that Alli, Tam, and I was going to college Milo and Ash decided to expend their business into building houses, so our families decided to put money together and buy each of us a piece of land and have Milo and Asher’s company build our houses as a graduation present, so every time we came home we didn’t have to stay with our parents or other family members because we always had our own place to go to. When we were away at college Asher and Milo would use our houses as models to show their clients.

Alli and my house was identical to each other except for the outside front of the house, where hers has long ass stairs that you have to go up until you get to the front door, mine has 3 steps and a wrap around porch. A lot of people who we grew up with us were very envy and jealous of us because we had our own car at 16 and had our own place at 18 but we never let that jealousy get to us and we never rubbed it in anybody’s face of what we had, that’s not us, that’s not how we roll. I was looking around when I heard Alli coming down the stairs, “Hey Dairia, sorry I kept you waiting, I just got out the shower when you came in.” she said while coming over to me giving me a hug.

“You good twin, I’m not in any hurry.” I said looking around her place, I see that she redid the living room a little bit and got pictures of us from college up around the house, “I like what you did with the living room, and it looks nice.”

“Thanks boo. It was starting to look boring in here, so I decided to change it, so what brings you by.” She asked while taking a seat in her recliner chair. “Well I went to see Milo before going on my date with Marco….”

“That’s right, how was your date? She asked cutting me off.

“It was good but I’ll get to that in a minute.” I said as I took a sip of my water, “I went to see Milo to ask him if I could ride on his private plane next week since him and Ash are going to meet the Berkley’s too and while I was there we got to talking about our fashion business and he suggested that we rent out the ground floor space and use that for our business. So what do you think?” Alli let out the loudest squeal that I ever heard, “That is awesome Dairia. Why didn’t we think about asking them months ago?”

“Girl I don’t know, I said the same thing but I was so happy when he suggested it to me. I told him I had to ask you first and I’ll let him know when I see him next week.”

“Yeah I’m cool with it if you’re cool with it. Now you can stop stressing so much about finding a perfect space.”

“Don’t judge me, you know how I feel about this kind of stuff.”

“Whatever.” She said rolling her eyes. “Now tell me about your date with Marco.” She said in a sing song voice. It took me about 20 minutes to tell her about the date because she kept interrupting me. “Do you think that girl will make good on her threat?”

“I don’t know. I don’t see why she would because I don’t know her and she doesn’t know me. Today was our first time ever seeing each other, so I highly doubt that she will come looking for me.”

“I don’t know Dairia, people are crazy, and I just want you to be careful.”

“I will.” I promised the last thing I want was for my twin to worry about me. What I feel, she feels and vice versa. “You know Dairia, I am so proud of you. I didn’t think that you would ever move on from Milo but you did.” she said bringing me out of my thoughts. “Yeah I thought the same thing but I knew it was time. I couldn’t wait around for him forever.”

“Well you know that he and Iris broke up, maybe this is your chance.”

“No, I don’t think so. It’s just a matter of time before he and Iris get back together plus I wouldn’t want him to want me now anyways because I don’t want to feel like his rebound.”

“Girl you isn’t anybody’s damn rebound.” I decided to stay the night at her house. We stayed up all night talking and watching movies just like old times until we both fill asleep on her living room floor.
