chapter 8

Alexa

It's been two days since I met Elijah and I am really thankful that he's not following me again. I don't want him to know where I am living and where is my office or else I won't be able to do any of my work. I know if he knows my office here in LA, he will come and coax me to be with him again which is not going to happen at all. Suddenly, my phone ring. I take it and look at the caller then immediately pick it up.

"Hey, gal! How are you? I miss you so so so much. Oh, how about my nephew and niece?" I smile when I hear her voice. She sounds so happy and I am glad she already make herself comfortable there. I know it's not easy to make another country like your own country because you need to know the culture and follow how people live there. It's not as easy as you thought.

"Hey, Thea. Gosh, it's been like a month since you last called me. I'm doing well here but a bit disappointed cause you didn't come to my launch. And yeah the twins are doing good and get so naughty now." I reply.

"Awhhhh Lexa, I'm so sorry. My boss can't let me have my leave cause there's a new project coming up and I need to make the design. My boss is super picky and I think if this not my dream job, I would totally resign from this company and just work together with you in LA." She said and I bet she makes her annoying face even though I can't see it. I know how shes like when she said she hates someone, her face is super ugly haha.

"It's fine then. Next time you take a leave for a few days and we can hang out together. By the way, don't hate your boss or else you will be fired cause I know you Thea when you said you hate someone, you will talk whatever you want to satisfy yourself. I don't want you to get fired from your dream job, so please behave.." I said to her.

"Alright mom, I will behave myself. So enough about me here, what about you?" She asks.

"Well for me, I got nothing interesting to tell you but I need to tell you about something that quite important and I need someone to share with." Of course, I'm going to tell my best friend about Elijah. I need to share with someone or else I will be stress out thinking about it.

"Tell me about it. I've got nothing to do currently. I can listen to your problem all day and be your counselor for today." I let out a sigh and start to tell her.

"So you know that I just launch my new boutique in New York a few days ago. Well..."

"Well?" I stay quiet for a few seconds before continuing.

"What? Don't tell me-" I cut her off cause if not, she will start her nonsense assumption. I know she will guess that I already have a new boyfriend or something like that. Sh really wants me to have a new life with a new guy but I don't think I am ready for another relationship now. Maybe later.

"Okay...I met Elijah at that time. I don't even know he was invited to that event and he said that he wants me back." I told her and all I hear is silence. "Hello?"

"Then what did you said to him?" She asks.

"I just said that I'll never go back to him. I already feel hurts when he throws me like a piece of trash but what if he forced to be with him? what should I do? or what if he wants his right towards his children and brings this case to the court? I don't want any problems especially when it includes Gabriel and Gabriella. They both still young in this problem. I don't want them to be stressed out ." I let out what's in my mind.

"Well Lexa, listen to me. No matter what happen, just let him begging to you cause he deserves that. He's the one who wants to get divorced with you. So, just don't go to him and make him suffer. He needs to feel what you feel three years ago. He treated you like you a beggar that begging for his love and now you makes him, begging for your love but NEVER GO BACK TO HIM.." She said and I think that's right. I can't easily go back to him after what he has done to me. I have my pride and if he wants me, he needs to get into my heart again but I don't think he will capture my heart ever again. LIKE NEVER.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. But what about Gabriel and Gabriella? I didn't want them to grow up without a father and also they deserve to know who is their father. I ." I said because even though I'm not together with Elijah, Gabriel and Gabriella need to know who is their father is.

"Lexa, I can't say anything about it. But no matter what, don't do anything stupid."

"Alright, then I won't do anything that's going to change my future. See ya soon Thea. Bye, I love you." With that, I hang up the phone and put my phone beside me. I sighed. What should I do? My mind is all messed up thinking about this thing.

"Mommy? Are you okay?" I startled when I heard Gabriel's voice behind me. I turned around to see him with his sleepy face look at me. "Yeah baby, I'm okay. Why did you awake?" He and Gabriella are taking a nap and that's the only time I can pamper myself a bit and do my work at home. I didn't call Dolly to come because I'm not going to work today.

*****

After Gabriel and Gabriella wake up from their nap, I bring them to go out and have some walk at the park. "Alexa." I turned around to see Elijah standing in his suit near me. What is he doing here in Los Angeles? I look at him in shocked then I turned to look at the twins.

"What are you doing here?" I ask. "I come to meet you obviously." He said and I raised my eyebrows.

"How do you know that I'm here?" I ask him to worry if he also knows where is my house and my office.

"I have my own way, babe." He looks at me and smirks. I look away cause it feels if I look into his eyes too long, My heart might betray me. I don't want that to happen.

"Uncle!!" That's Gabriella's voice coming running to me and Elijah way. Oh gosh. Wait what? Uncle? "Uncle, what are you doing here? Do you know my mommy?" She asks and looks at both of us.

"Of we do. We have known each other before you guys here." I stand there quietly cause I don't know what to do or what to say.

"Mommy, this is the kind uncle, ice cream," Gabriel said to me and that's my mind goes blank. That's mean, Elijah knew from the start. But... How?

Just in time, my phone ring. "It's an emergency call. Let's go." I pull Gabriel and Gabriella's hands and walk away as fast as I can.

"Mommy!" I stop when Gabriella shouting.

"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to walk so fast like that. Sorry." I said and hug her. I still can see Elijah standing at the same place and looking at us. I don't know why he needs to waste his money to buy a plane ticket and come here when I obviously been rejecting him and hate him.

*******

The whole drive my mind just thinking about Elijah, Elijah, and Elijah. It seems like I can't get him out of my mind. I try to distract myself from keep thinking about him but I don't know why I can't.

Right now, I'm in the bathroom and take a long bath after I let the twins sleep. I close my eyes to relax my body and my mind. After I see my fingers have wrinkles on it, I decided to get out. I pick my nightgown and then straight go to my bed. Today is a stressful day. I need a lot of rest. I close my eyes to sleep.

ding!

That's my phone. I take it on the nightstand and look who's the one who messages me. It's an unknown number. I open it and read the message.

"Alexa, no matter how hard you try to push me from your life, I will always come back to you. I know that I did a huge mistake three years ago but please forgive me and think about our children. I will do anything to take you back. I will make you mine back Alexa cause I love you." I read it and I know who the one sent it to me. Of course, it's Elijah. Without any warning, my tears come out from my eyes like a waterfall.

I don't understand him right now. He's the one who throws me like I've got no heart, and now he wants me to forgive him like he did nothing wrong at all. Why does he need to be like this? I am tired to face all this for the second time. I want my life to be happy with my loved one.

I cry until I feel tired and then drift to sleep.
