" guess what."
Ava leaned in with a smile, Emma also leaned in with anticipating raised brows.
" What?." She whispered.
" I have a date tonight, with Zain." Ava clicked her tongue followed by a wide smile.
" Zain, he finally asked you out?." Emma was happy for Ava, she could tell Ava really liked Zain, and hoped things work out for them. Ava nodded resting her chin on the palm of her hand, she couldn't wait for night fall.
" Where's Trixie, it's not like her to sleep in till this time of day." Ava asked seeing she was nowhere to be seen.
" You're right, I will go check on her." Emma stood, she knocked on Trixie's bedroom door before going inside.
" Trix?! Are you okay?."
Emma went and cuddled next to Trixie. Trixie removed the covers from her head as she shook her head slightly in a sobbing manner.
" I feel like an idiot, I'm a mess, Em."
" A beautiful mess, I don't like seeing you like this." Emma removed some hair off her face with her fingers as she tried to cheer her up.
" I haven't received any calls or texts from him, he wouldn't even talk to me back at the hospital. Was I just a one time thing to him? Didn't I matter?."
" Trix, of course you matter, any man would die just have you as their beautiful and kind girlfriend, it's the first time I'm seeing you cry over a man like this."
Emma worriedly said, she's never seen Trixie break down over a guy like this who's not her boyfriend, she had breakups before and not once did she see Trixie cry like this. One thing was for sure, and that is she really likes Lucas, she's fallen deeply in love with him.
" I don't know what to do, Em." She sobbed even more, Emma could only stroke her back comforting her best friend. Her baby's cry was heard from the next room, now she had two people to comfort. ' what a mess' she said beneath her breath.
" I got her."!
She heard Ava's voice, Emma smiled for being such a good sister and a helping hand, now she can focus all her attention to Trixie.
QINN MAIN ESTATE.
Alec descended the stairs as he dressed casually for the day, ready to head out when Lisa called out to him from the living room, he came to standstill with a boredom expression. Lisa In her high heels gracefully walked up to Alec.
" May I have a word with you, son?." She calmly said.
" I'm heading out now." Alec said simply, without turning to look at her, his voice calm but cold as ever whenever he spoke to her, Lisa gave a bitter sweet smile, ' I guess there is no way he'll ever warm up his heart to her, she'll forever be the enemy in his heart,and a villain in his eyes.' Lisa thought, her heart aching whenever she thinks about it.
" It's about Laura."
" With you everything revolves around her, I don't have time to listen to yours or her whining. When she's done taking up your time, do have time to visit your granddaughter, something you never did with me_ " Alec said before walking away.
" Give him time." Grange spoke from behind as he approached.
" For how much longer husband, I have tried everything to get closer to him but he doesn't let me, he truly hates me." Lisa turned, her eyes tearing up. Grange pulled her in his arms with a comforting hug.
Alec arrived at the apartment, Sonya was the one who welcomed him at the door, her eyes lit up when she saw Alec standing in front of her.
" You're Alec Qinn, I can't believe you're standing in front of me right now." Alec could hear the excitement and thrill in her voice.
" And who must you be?."
Alec gave a slight smile, staring at the little girl's face, and how similar she looked to Ava.
" Sonya Cuntrera, Ava's daughter."
" Ava's daughter huh, no wonder you looked familiar, you resemble her quite a lot." Alec tilted his head, not asking further questions that didn't concern him, Sonya stepped aside to let him inside. He had a few gifts for the baby with him, Emma generously accepted Alec's gifts, despite their daughter already having so much toys, he still got her more and more toys.
" You don't have to get a gift every time you visit your daughter you know." Emma spoke casually as she ruffles her short hair, she didn't like how she looked, her hair was still growing out after she cut it all out due to her condition, she only wears a long wig when going out in public _ and takes it off once she's home, staring at herself in the mirror was like staring at a boy version of herself. But Alec didn't seem to mind how she looked like, he still looked at her with those same eyes he once did before their divorce, with so much affection and admiration, with his soft gaze and warm smile that melted her away like ice in a hot sun.
Alec strolled over to Emma step by step with his hands in his pockets, each step he took made her heart skip a beat, he went and stopped in front of her. Emma stared up to his face, her eyes locked on his, her heart pounding ever so rapidly. She couldn't even step back cause the bed behind her had her blocked, he got her right were he wants her.
" You're distancing yourself from me."
Alec spoke lightly, his eyes never leaving hers, Emma swallowed hard trying so hard to avoid his gaze.
" Y_ you... you're too close."
Emma managed to get some words out.
" Don't you like me when I'm close?." Alec raised a brow. Emma without a word, placed her two hands on his flat well structured stomach_with intentions of pushing him back, Alec held both of her hands by the wrist stopping her attempt of pushing him away. Ever so swiftly, Emma found herself lying down on the bed with Alec on top of her, her eyes widened with shock as she stared into Alec's blue eyes.
" A_ Alec?."
She stumbled on his name, his next move shocked her even more when his lips crashed on hers, she figured he might do something like this, but again it came as unexpected. From her lips he trailed to her neck_kissing and caressing her with his tongue, Emma couldn't help releasing a moan, oh how she missed his every touch and kisses, each tease and caresses of his hand, he always takes her to heaven and back with every stroke. His free hand reached down to the heap of her dress_ lifting it up, Emma was alarmed to what was happening and managed to push Alec off her with a force.
" Alec."!
Emma sat up pulling her dress back down, Alec sighed running his fingers across his silky hair.
" Sorry I got a bit carried away, too soon?."
He asked with an apology, Emma shook her head slightly.
" No, of course I want to but, it just doesn't feel right, Alec, it's not right." Emma said.
" Married to Laura doesn't change what I feel for you Emma, I still consider you my legal wife, you're the woman I'm in love with _
" Of course it changes everything, Alec, you and I are no longer together, you're married to another woman! I can't be involved with a married man."
" We have a child together."
" Yes we have a child, that's it, that's the only reason I'm allowing you to be here, otherwise I wouldn't let you get close to this house or me, I think it's time for you to go."
" Emma."
" Please just go, Alec." Emma turned to look the other side. Alec stood kissing his baby's forehead, he turned to Emma one last time before leaving.
Emma dropped a tear, as if sensing her sadness, Eli began to cry also. Emma went over to pick her up.
" Aww, what happened honey? Mommy and Daddy didn't mean to fight, In fact they love each other so much that it hurts, so sorry my baby." Emma kissed her baby as she calmed her down.
