Chapter 7
Hugo
I like Erica .I don't think I like her ... I like her . My mother likes her and by the looks of things ; she is the most affable person I've come across. As for that woman I call a girlfriend I am going to deal with her personally .
I saw the look of panic set on her face and I could only imagine what she was feeling. I've heard her come in for the past 5 days , and she has been kind enough to ask Matthew how I was doing and if I she should call anyone .
I didn't know she knew my mother . Even though I was hurting at the fact that Chloe had passed on I was surprised to find out that I was a father to a five year old boy. As far as I knew , my face was scarred really badly and I needed surgery , which was going to cost more than my hospital bills . I knew I had more than enough , but since I had a precious gift to take care of. Erica and my mother were asked to leave the roo
Chapter 8 EricaI'm a believer . I believe in what I pray for ,and I actually might be falling in love with Alex Tristan.. he might be loaded but that's not why I am falling so fast and so hard for him.I run my own business and besides; the baking business , I used to be a Sports physio therapist. The sports club I worked for was the same club I met; Matthew and later on Alex . I never got to meet Hugo because when Alex got injured the male physio was off sick .He was the one who would normally fix up the first team .Alex is a curiosity case to me . He is secretive ; intense , sweet, loyal and till now he has been a good friend. I'm no stranger to developing feelings or crushing on someone. With him it was unexpected. The week before he came to the bakery ,he had mentioned that; he was done with playing around and he wanted to settle down . I knew he wasn't perf
Chapter 9HugoI have bad taste in women period. The only time I think I had good taste was when I was with Chloe ; and call it a coincidence if you may , but there is something about Erica that feels right in a fated kind way.She’s not like Lisa and she has a calming effect on me. On the day we almost lost Alex Lisa came to visit me and when I had questioned her as to why didn’t she come and visit me , she used work as an excuse. When I cheated on Chloe I was not in love with Lisa.I was still in love with Chloe. I was drunk when the cheating happened and she saw an opportunity to capitalize on my state and manipulate me in the worst of ways. That included cutting contact between me and my mother.As a result I didn’t know that Chloe had died and she had a baby boy … our baby boy Michael . 
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
