chapter 37

Alexa

"So everyone's ready?" I ask the models there and they just smile at me. I can't believe this is happening. I know that I've been through this a lot but this collection is the one that I've been designing for a long time.

I heard the music already played and now the time for the models start their runway one by one. When the models just take their turn to show the collection, I just take a sit on my seat and playing with my phone. "Hello, my babies," I answer the call when my phone is ringing.

"Mommy, where are you?" Gabriel ask me.

"I'm at my fashion show now. Can't wait to meet both of you. Mommy misses you so much." I reply. "What are you doing?"

"I, Gabriella and daddy are at h-" Then the phone been taken off from Gabriel because I can hear Gabriel whinning.

"Hey, beautiful." This must be Elijah. I smile when I hear his voice.

"Why you took the phone from Gabriel? And where is Gabriella?" I ask him.

"Oh well, she falls asleep maybe because she plays with Brianna until she collapsed on the couch."

"Oh, I want to talk to my son, not you. Give the phone back to Gabriel."I said. I know he using his phone to let Gabriel talk to me but still I want to talk to my son, not this man.

"Okay, listen here. I want to know who is your boyfriend that's it. I want to make sure he can take care of you and...and our children. I don't want you to make the wrong decision." I scoff after he said that.

"I don't think I'm going to make another mistake after you make me realize how important for me to choose my partner wisely. I think the biggest mistake I've ever made is with you and give all my heart for you. I was so stupid back there." I said it all out. I am really mad at him and this scars really deep in my heart and I don't think it will recover just like that.

"Alexa, I know I made a mistake and I am apologizing to you many times but you didn't care about me. I told you that I'm going to change for you and I also promise that I will be a good husband and a good father to our children. I promise you that, all I want is that you to forgive me. Please, I'm begging you. I love you so much. I just realized it after we got divorced. I can't live without you, Alexa. Please." Now, now he's begging for my love just like Thea said, 'Let him begging for you love but never go back to him'.

"Can you put Gabriel back on the phone? I want to talk to him not you." He finally gives back the phone to Gabriel. I talk to him until one of the crew pat my shoulder and tell me that it's my turn to come out. I nod my head. "I need to go now. Will talk later. Bye... " I put my phone on the table and wait a few seconds until my name being called by the MC.

People clapping their hands while I'm just smiling while holding a bouquet of flowers that I got earlier. I am so happy that my fashion show is just how I want it.

A few minutes later, I finally back backstage. I put the flowers on the table and put my things in my handbag.

"Guys, I'm really really want to thank all of you who work really hard for this collection and make this fashion show successful," I said to them and decided to treat them a dinner tonight. They look really happy.

After that, I walk out of the building and go to my car. "Mommy!" I stop and look around to search for that voice. Just then, I see Gabriel and Gabriella running towards me. I am so shocked that they here. I open my arms and they come into my arms and I hug them.

"What are you guys doing here? I miss you both so much." I look up and see Elijah holding a bouquet of roses. He gives me the roses and I have no choice but just take it.

"Why are you didn't tell me that you're here with the twins?" He smiles at me.

"I am asking you right now, Elijah."

"I was going to give you a little surprise. Gabriel and Gabriella want to meet you so much so I thought bringing them here is the best decision." Just when I talk to Elijah, someone clearing their throats. I turn around to see Jared walking towards us.

"Hi, bae." He said and I hug him.

"I thought you already went home."

"I want to have dinner with you, bae. We need to celebrate this successful show. Let's go."

"I am going to dinner. I was planning to buy all the models and crews who are participating in this event a pleasant dinner. We can have dinner there with Gabriel and Gabriella too." I said.

"That's a good idea. Don't you think so little princess?" Jared says to Gabriella and picks her up. She giggles. "Elijah, let's go and join us." I look at Elijah hoping he won't agree to it but seems like he agrees to have dinner with us.

Five of us get into our cars to have our dinner together. We get into the restaurant and see my employees already arrive and having their dinner. Four of us take a seat at the empty table and order our food.

"So how about we go the day after tomorrow?" I look at Jared confused.

"What are you serious?" I ask.

"Our vacation? You finished your event and you need rest now." Then I look at Gabriel and Gabriella who looks so hyper when they heard about vacation.

"I just finished my fashion show and we're going the day after tomorrow?" I stay silent for a few seconds and six pairs of eyes plus another two which is Elijah's are watching and waiting for my answer. I smile. "Okay then. We're going tomorrow." I said. The twins clapping their hands. "Oh wait! But I didn't inform Thea about this yet... "

"I already take care of that thing. I know you're gonna forget it. So I got my back up." He answers and I look at Jared weirdly.

"Wait up, where did you get Thea's number? I don't remember I give you her number." I raise my eyebrows and look at him.

"I used my intelligent brain to settle it all."

"And..."

"Okay, I got it from your phone BUT I just look for her number and that's it. Nothing more, I swear."

"Fine, this time I will let you go but not next time, stinky." I know he hates me when I call him that.

"What kind of vacation are you guys talking about?" Elijah speaks up.

"Nothing," I reply.

"If you want to join, come on. You can bring your girlfriend, family, and one friend too." I look at Jared surprise.

"Jared, what are you doing?"

"I am inviting him for our vacation, bae. I mean the more the merrier isn't it?" Jared said.

"You are unbelievable, Jared," I said.

"Make sure you bring your family too and your girlfriend and also one friend is fine. We will meet at the airport in two days. I can buy you all the tickets." I just let both of this guy talk to each other. I just playing with my babies which is more fun and at the same time, our food arrived. I am so hungry so I dig my food and shove it in my mouth.

I carry Gabriella who already falls asleep while on our way home same with Gabriel who is carried by Elijah. We get into the house and put them in their room. "Thank you. I think you should go home now. It's getting late."He didn't say anything but just nods his head and left the room.

Then I head to the bathroom to take a shower. I feel so tired today but it's worth it. I didn't take to long in the bathroom because it's cold. I wear my pj's in the bathroom and then walk out from it. I hang my towel and see Jared just typing something on his phone. I walk to him and sit next to him. "Go and take a shower because you stink," I said and he looks at me.

"Even though I stink, you still like me right?" He said confidently. Then he kisses me but that kiss.

"After what you did earlier, I don't think I like you anymore," I said.

"Bae, I did that because I thought it would be nice if the children can see how's happy their family is. I want to make this vacation full of good memories and we won't forget about it. Like ever."He says.

"But you are inviting the guy that I hate. I don't think this is the best idea. He clearly still has feelings for me and you know that right. What if he did something bad to me? Or what if he kidnaps me?" Jared chuckles. "What? it's funny?"

"No, I did all this to make sure he won't ever bother you again. I want to show him that we are happy and he can start a new life with his girlfriend. I think it's going to be the best vacation ever. You have to believe in me."I sigh and nods my head. "Good, now I'm going to take a shower. Don't think about it too much. It's going to be just perfect." I smile at him.

Just then, my phone ring. I look at the caller and pick it up. "Hello, Thea."

"Heyyyy, can't wait for our vacation. I know Jared is the perfect guy for you and a good father to Gabriel and Gabriella." She said and I smile at it.

"Look, Thea, I need to tell you something," I said.

"I think Joseph going to come too." She stays silent. "Thea? Are you still there?"

"I-I don't understand what are you talking about, Alexa. Why would Joseph, my boss join our vacation?"

"I know this is short notice but Jared intentionally asked Elijah if he wants to come. Of course, he said yes to it. At first, I am mad but then after Jared explain to me everything, I think it's going to be okay. " I explain.

"No way, I thought I'm going to escape from him a few days. NOOOOOO!" I laugh at her.

"You find that funny? I'm being serious here!" She sounds so piss.

"Thea chill. I guarantee you will have a very good time there. Don't worry."

"Fine, fine. By the way, I need to sleep because my flight is in the morning tomorrow. See ya soon bestie. Goodnight." With that, she hangs up the phone. I just chuckle and shake my head.

"What so funny?" I look up to see Jared in his boxer coming to me.

"It's just Thea. She's pissing cause Joseph will come too." I said.

"Hmm, who is Joseph?" He asks.

"You'll know very soon, baby." I said and lay on my side while he comes to me just wrap his arms around me securely.
