chapter 7

Alexa

Now, I'm at the park cause the twins to force me to bring them out today. So yeah here I am. We're back in Los Angeles two days ago and my tired still here. I'm still tired and need more sleep. I sit on the bench near the twins and this time I'm not playing with my phone anymore cause I don't want my kids to be missing again this time. I look at them playing and smiling. "Mommy! Help me to get on this." That's Gabriella. She pointed at the swing while Gabriel already on it beside her. I walk to them then pick up Gabriella and let her sit on the swing.

I push them both and they're laughing happily. I smile to see how happy they are now. I hope this happiness will last forever. I want them to be happy as now and always. Gabriel and Gabriella are my life and if they're sad, I will be sad too but if they are happy, I will be happy too. After a few minutes, they told me to stop them.

"Mommy let's go eat." Both of them said in unison. These kids, really eat a lot. Before we got here, I already give them some yogurt and banana but I think that's only a dessert for them.

"Fine let's go. Hold my hands." They hold my hands and I walk with them to the nearest restaurant. I decided to bring them to eat at the Italian restaurant which is just like five minutes walk. We get in and walk to the empty table. This Italian restaurant got lots of delicious food and every time I bring Gabriel and Gabriella here, they love it. They will end up eating two or three plates of their foods.

"Mommy I'm hungry...." Gabriella whined while holding her stomach. "I know baby, but what do you want to eat? You didn't choose yet." She quickly snatches the menu from Gabriel's hand and looks at it. I know what she wanted to eat but just want to tease her and seems like she really wants to find her favorite food on the menu.

"Mine!" And now both of them are fighting over one book of a menu. They both try to take the menu and of course one of them will start to cry if I didn't stop them.

"Gabriel, Gabriella stop fighting and give me that. Now." I take the menu and just choose the food for myself and the kids. After a few minutes, the food finally came and we eat in silence but the silence only stays for a few minutes then here we go the disaster. Gabriella started to steal Gabriel's food when she already had her in her plate and now Gabriel starts to cry cause his food being stolen by his sister. I sigh and shook my head when I see this war between them will not end soon.

"Gabriella, you have your own food in your plate, why you keep stealing your brother's?" I ask but she is a baby, so she ignores me and still stealing and eating like that's her own food. I can't be mad at her with that cute innocent face.

"Okay, mommy will give you this. Stop crying or we will go home now." I exchange their plates hoping they will eat in peace but Gabriella end up crying.

oh my gosh

"Okay okay, here your food back. Mommy won't take it." I put back and she finally quiet and eat. I end up ordering another plate for Gabriel cause Gabriella took all his food and we finally can eat with peace.

Right now, I and my babies are at the shopping mall. I want to buy them toys cause they don't have too many toys. So why not. I didn't buy them many toys cause I don't want to spoil them too much with all those toys but I still buy it like two or three months once or twice.

"Mommy, can we buy the Lego?" Gabriel asks and I nod. " Barbie!" Gabriella said.

"Barbie not cool, lego the best.," Gabriel said to her. "No, Barbie is pretty!" Gabriella said back.

"Okay okay, both of you. If you guys fighting again, I'm not going to buy it." With that they keep their mouth shut. I smile at their cuteness. As soon as we see the Toy R Us, both of them running into that shop.

"Hey! Don-" before I could chase them, someone just block my way. When I look who it is, my eyes widen in shock.

It's Elijah

"Hey, babe." He said. "Who's your babe?" I said and try to walk away but he caught my wrist.

"Let me go!" Why out of all millions of people in this world, I have to bump into him? Why? I don't want to meet him again. I don't want he broke my heart again.

"Why? You didn't want our children to see me? Their dad? Or maybe you have a boyfriend now?" He asks me with continuers questions.

"Why do care? Just let me go and leave me and my children alone." He didn't let go of my wrist even though I try to be free from it. "Look at you now. You're beautiful, sophisticated and well famous and rich. I'm impressed. You change a lot in three years." He said and smirk. I was quite shocked when said that but I didn't THAT surprised because I know he is capable of doing everything. So, I just act like normal.

"So? What's your point?" I ask.

"I want you back. Be with me." I look at his disbelief.

"What do you think I am huh? Do you think that if you said like that I'll melt and go with you that easily? I'm not the old Alexa, Elijah. The old Alexa is dead." I said try to control my emotions or not my tears will come out. I don't want to look weak in front of this useless man. This man that standing in front of me now was the one who broke my heart and throws me like a piece of trash. Like I don't have any dignity. I won't go back to him.

I WON'T!

"You know me, Alexa, if I want something I'll get it." He said and I scoff.

"But you won't get me back Elijah. Never." I said and that makes him lose his grip on my wrist. I take this chance to get my wrist back and walk away. That's a good thing that he doesn't follow me. I walk quickly and get into the shop to find Gabriel and Gabriella.

Elijah

I follow her until here just to get rejected. I fly to Los Angeles to persuade her to be with me again and this is not easy as I thought it will be. Well, let's see Alexa you're going to be with me again. Soon. I will never let go of you now. If I want it I will get it sooner or later.

I know she is a fashion designer now. I saw her face on News after that event I attended a few days ago. Seems her life looks so fine now.

I look at her and enter the Toy R us shop. That's mean my kids are in there. I want to meet them and tell them that I'm their father but I know that only makes Alexa hate me. So, the best plan is that I have to play it slow. I cannot force her but the urge to make her mine makes me feel I can't play it slow.

I walk out of the mall cause I have to meet with Joseph. I wait for my driver to bring me to the restaurant that I and Joseph gonna meet up.

"Bro I'm sorry I'm a bit late." I said to Joseph who looking at his phone. I take a seat in front of him.

"So, how your plan going on?" He put his phone on the table and ask me. "I think I have to make it slow. I can't just straight up tell her that I want her back. Of course, she didn't want it. So, plan change." I said and he nodded.

"Well, I told you three years ago. Divorced with her was the biggest mistake you ever done. Now, see what happen. You're like licking your saliva that you already spit." He said and take a sip of his coffee.

"Next week I'm going to Paris for my new project there. You want to come with me?" He asks me. "I have lots of work to do so... No." He just shrugged. My works include my plan to get Alexa back.

"Well, how long will go there?"

"Maybe 2 or 3 days." He answers and I just nodded. We talk like a few hours about my plan and about serious stuff too.

*********

Back In New York

After a few days at Los Angeles, now I am back to reality. I'm already in my office cause I still have like a stack of work to do. I cannot stop thinking about Alexa and our kids. Every time I close my eyes, I keep remembering how stupid I am divorcing her because of a stupid reason. I need to redeem back what I lost all these three years.

I stop what am I doing and I pick my phone to make a call. "Yes, sir." That's the private investigator that I hired.

"Jake, I want you to do something for me but not investigate. I want you to follow this woman name, Alexa Johnson. You can search for her in social media or google cause she is searchable. After that, give me a call and tell me all the details as soon as possible." I commanded.

"I understand sir. Anything else?" He ask me. "No that's it." With that I hang up my phone and continue my work.
