Nicolle:
I saw him caring for me when he saw I was crying and I hoped what I was thinking was wrong. He even hit himself seeing that I was sick. But then he clearly said I am sorry, I just didn't know how to react. All I know is I can promise this won’t happen again.
I can promise it won't happen again. Did I hear it correctly? I had to confirm, maybe my fear was catching up to me and I heard him wrong. So I asked him again, with tears in my eyes
You really mean that, Huh?
Yes, I mean it. It won’t happen again. Last night was a mistake and I will make sure I don’t repeat it. Do you still want to give this friendship another chance?
See, he only wanted us to be friends. Nothing more than that. Great. And here I was hoping to keep him near me for a month and help him realize my love. I will not make a fool of myself. If he doesn’t love me, and I am just a charity case for him, I will leave him as soon as we reach CA.
"Good, So Mr. Alex can we now continue? and please stop for a restroom. I have been holding it for so long." I tried to lighten the mood because I don't have any power left to pick up the pieces of my broken heart.
I will file for a divorce the moment we reach home. And I will make him promise me that he will marry again. I will say to him that I love someone and am going to marry that person. Maybe then, he will think about his life and will come out of this charity case.
I know he promised to take care of me and my child because he thinks who will support us if he remarries. It’s ok, I will ask for a lot of money from him. I can feel tears building up again but I will not cry again. I have to be strong if I am going to live without him for the rest of my life.
We entered California and decided to take a break in Redding. We decided to take a rest and then go out for dinner later. I sat on the chair hoping Alex would sleep on the bed. He was driving for so long and even if he did not understand my feelings, I still loved him, care for him.
“You should sleep Nicolle, I want to take a quick shower.” Alex was still not looking at me, but managed to say these words.
“Ok.”
Alex:
I took a quick shower and when I came out, I saw Nicolle. She was sleeping peacefully on the chair. I smiled and gently picked her up. She needs rest more than me so I placed her on the bed. She moved and I was afraid I might have disturbed her sleep, but she was still asleep.
I sat on the chair and closed my eyes.
Some noises caused me to wake up and saw Nicolle wrestling with the big suitcase.
“If you need wrestling lessons, you can tell me. I can teach better than a bag.” I tried to lighten the atmosphere.
She chuckled and this was the first smile I saw on smile her face since we started from Eugene.
“I was just trying to get my dress from the bag, but it decided to play dirty with me.” She was trying hard to close it.
“Let me help.” I went to her side to help her and realized how full the bag was. And it hit my heart. See, she is going forever. Why would she stuff all that in a bag otherwise.
“Are you going out in these?” She pointed to my jeans and t-shirt.
“Yes, what’s wrong with that?” I don’t want to wear shorts again.
She took out another pair of jeans from the side and asked me to change. My eyes widened.
“You had another pair of jeans and you lied to me there? Why, may I ask?”
“I just wanted you to loosen up. I don’t think it’s a crime to do that.” She said with a pout and was looking so adorable, I laughed out loud.
“No, it’s not Ms. Drama Queen.” I rolled my eyes and started changing the jeans once she went inside the bathroom to change hers.
She was wearing a light blue dress up to her knees. It was a loose dress, but was tight till the waist. A full sleeves dress, considering February nights but she looked so beautiful in this dress. It had a V neckline, showing off just a hint in a perfect way.
She paired it with white flats and diamond studs. Her hair was loose and it was really hard to look anywhere else but her.
She was adjusting her dress when she looked at me. I had to look at the other side.
Nicolle:
I came out of the bathroom and was adjusting my dress when I felt Alex gaze. I looked at him, and all he could do was look at the wall. I smiled but my smile faded the moment I looked at him properly.
He was wearing a tight burgundy turtleneck with light blue jeans which was equally tight. His body is really worth dying. His perfect muscles were peeking through the t-shirt and the way he put his hands into his jeans pockets, which aren’t really pockets if you ask me, he looked like a model. He should really leave this business and try for modelling.
It’s a good thing that he was still trying to look at the walls, which helped me to eat him mentally.
I cleared my throat after a while.
“I am ready. Let’s go.”
He looked at me with a smile and offered his hand which I gladly took.
This place is a little more crowded than last place. He stopped the car near a fancy diner and we went inside. I could see all the girls drooling over him. I had an urge to raise my hand and show my wedding ring, but I stopped when I saw Alex. he was looking elsewhere. I followed his gaze and bit my lip. He was feeling the same way as I was.
