Chapter 10
Erica
You know what's worse than a broken heart? A broken heart you never saw coming .I get that Alex wanted a relationship ; but in all honesty the part of me that wasn't sure when he made his intentions known; was the part that was the truth about dating him or having any serious relationship with him.
Alexander Tristan was a pretty good soccer player and he was also as clinical in the real world when it came to execution ,as well as in life . Apart from the fact that I knew his mother , and she regarded me as a daughter ,he has always wanted me to be with him and I've always said no.
At a point where we wanted damn everyone else, sort out our hangups, and become exclusive; he goes and loses his memory after an accident , forgets he ever loved me, remembers fucking his best friend's girlfriend , and me almost having sex with my ex after trying to def
Chapter 11HugoThe hardest part of any healing process is acceptance. It has been exactly three weeks since I came out of the hospital and my life had been turned on its head in a good and bad way .I had sold most of my cars and house to cover up my bills for the knee surgery and hospital stay. I still had a blue cast on my leg and I had to keep it there for the next six months . For the first time in a long time I don’t know what to do with my life It’s both an exciting time and scary phase of my life .My career in football is over and the Club that I thought was loyal to me and was my ride or die ;just decided to turn its back on me. They have decided to replace me, and it was with Alex who remembered how to play soccer . I was going through a lot right now and I needed some sunshine in my world becau
Chapter 12EricaI don't remember anything I did last night. I have always had a rule; never finish a bottle of wine by myself unless I am in real need of repairing my broken heart ... Wait I had a broken heart and I went out for dinner with Mika and the last thing I remember was talking to Luca and Jessica .I'm in bed which is a good thing but it doesn't feel like my bed . The bedding smelled like apples and my bedding usually smelled of peaches .I didn't want to open my eyes for fear of thinking I must have done stupid stuff .The wind was howling outside and I was feeling surprisingly warm for a really cold day .I stretched out my hand and gently felt around the bed . I felt slabs of muscles and it didn't take me long to realise that ; someone's heavy arm was around my waist .I continued to move up
Chaphter 13HugoI cannot get over how adorable Erica looked last night. She had cut her hair and I knew it wasn’t her real hair but instead of the long wavy elaborate curls , she copped the hair so that her curls would look wild.Even qwhen she had chocolate mousse all over her face I she was just the most ; funny and genuine person I’ve come across. When she’s drunk she is all of the above things I’ve mentioned amplified .I really wanted to see her again , but I knew that the bakery would be closed and that meant she wasn’t going to be at the shop , but as luck would have it ; I found out from my brother who is good friends with Erica that, She and I are actually neighbors. When Marc was taking her home with him , he had forgotten to take h
Chapter 14EricaI really love my own space and time alone , but more than that ; spending time with someone who wants to spend time with you and get to know you on a deeper level is awesome . I have known for a while now that Marc loves Cleopatra and he also swung both ways so I didn’t know where I stood with him .All I knew before Friday was that he saved me and apart from the fact that he is open and upfront about a lot of stuff and he is able to keep things under wraps , I actually enjoyed my weekend with him, without the friend zone barrier .If a romantic , intense , attentive , and caring guy existed he was it . It was Sunday morning and after the sexy Saturday I had and the mistake I made of getting drunk in public with Mikayla , I really needed a break .After I got cleaned u
Chapter 15HugoI am forever in doubt and that’s my problem. Besides getting into my head about things , I cong at instantly need to be sure about what’s going on and part of me loves control in all forms .For the first time in my life I have no control over what is going and its daunting in an educational type of way . I have always had everything I could ever want and need , except for a relationship with my father . I was in debt and the house he had given me; which I now found out was , the same house he gave to Chloe when she was in need the most , had some sort of meaning .I had a DNA test ran on a child that I suspected was not mine and the results had been mailed to me but I didn’t check my mail properly. I have a baby boy, who is now five years old and lives with my mother . I don’t know how to be a dad , part of me fe
Chapter 16EricaI haven't been in a relationship for such a long time ; I forgot what it felt like to do something to for someone and try to see things from their point of view.Most of the time I would be the one who'd sacrifice my time and my priorities for someone who doesn't even care about me the way I want them to. If what I give you isn't reciprocated in any form , I take it as a sign to end things and just walk away .Matthew just didn't have any self control and so did Alex . Marc on the other hand is willing to try and make things work between us in more ways than one .When I woke up this morning I thought I was going back home . Instead ; he had his assistant manger fetch some clothes for me and bring them to his house . Everything in my closet has its place but I knew I had an overnight bag packed at the back of my boot . Blane ; Ma
Chapter 17HugoThere is a special kind of rush you get when you play a match , or when you are in an arena full of people or spectators .It’s a rush that is addictive. I didn’t understand what the fuss was about when I would watch post match conferences and the player ; who won man of the match would be elated and they would be smiling from ear to ear . I could almost describe it like getting an unexpected gift that fills your soul with unspeakable joy .I can remember it like it was yesterday . The vibration of the arena that is so powerful that the ground beneath you shakes, you can feel it when you walk through the tunnels , and when your boot touches the grass .The electric shock that vibrates through your body is like experiencing an outer body experience that gets you on a natural high . When you are actually on the pitch p
Chapter 18 Erica I love road trips . Travelling in general is exciting for me because I am a home body . I now know that I wasn’t sure about Alexander because he didn’t seem sincere and I was in doubt before I could decide what I really felt . With Marc it came like a rip tide . You never realize that you have feelings for someone until they admit they have feelings for you and even though they claim to know you inside out ,little quirks included. Marc Jasper blew everything out of the water ,and by everything I mean this guy has made it his mission to know me like the back of his hand . On our way to a town that looked like the Hamptons in South Africa ; Marc and I were stopped by the cops on a Sunday morning . The cops thought that Marc had taken me against my will. The cop had asked Marc to step
