Her First Love

The dining table was filled with different kinds of food. Since Alex wasn't sure what she wanted to eat, He told the chef to prepare something heavy and light. There were chicken, pork, beef and seafood. On April's files, her favorites wasn't listed. After all, It wasn't in his priorities before.

Now, Alex was curious about April. What her likes and dislikes. He wanted to get to know her more. In life and in bed. He smirked at the thought.

Alex made April sit on his right, The dining room had a beautiful view of the ocean. The sun was high and it was a little bit cloudy. It was the perfect day to be at the sea.

Seeing all the food in the table, April looked at Alex. "Are you feeding a family?"

Alex chuckled, "No baby, Its for us. I didn't know what you like, so I got everything cooked for you." he grabbed her left hand and kissed on it.

"But, this is too much?" Actually, April loved food. She was a "healthy" eater, as her mom says. She eats anything that was on the table. Well, that was when she was young. After the incident, Food didn't appear good anymore. Up until now, Food was just something she ate because it was needed.

"Don't worry. If you don't like any of them, the crew will eat it." Alex hated to waste food as well, but it was crucial for him to know which ones she likes and hated.

"Does any of the food not to your liking?" Alex looked at April in the eyes, she was still hesitating as she looked at the food.

"I'll eat some chicken and shrimps. The rest, I can't eat." April gulped. The food did look appetizing, something she hadn't experience for a while. Her eyes and her stomach betrayed her though, Alex had seen through her.

"Eat baby. Don't worry, I'll help you burn it all later." Alex lips curled up as he winked at her.

April gulped. The beast! she thought. She shake her head as she started eating.

Alex chuckled. She's so cute, he thought.

After they got done eating, Alex gave a tour to April. Ever since her initial anxiety attack earlier, she really didn't paid close attention to her surroundings.

Carolynn is a Princess 40M Yacht. Alex had just bought it this year, it was the newest in his collection.

Carolynn can accommodate up to 12 people to sleep and with 7 crew members waiting on their every need. Her elegant, powerful lines flow around sublime architecture. Secluded sunbathing hideaways, a spa bath, beautifully proportioned dining areas and a walk-in beach club are just a few of her magnificent features. Everything to ensure the perfect retreat for quality time with friends and family. The people called her, "The Imperial Princess".

Aside from a few friends, Alex wasn't able to share it with anyone. Especially his estranged wife. Luckily, April seems to be enjoying it.

After giving her the tour, he brought her to his quarters. Since James assumed that they had already done the deed, He set her clothes down on top Alex's bed.

In there, there were at least 3 each set of clothing. Her underwears, dress, shorts, jeans, shirts and blouse. There were two set each of the two pieces and the one piece suit.

April was amazed on how capable James was. They we're female clothes for goodness sakes! And they were all branded names and all her measurements. She blushed at the thought. James couldn't have chose them himself, did he? They were all feminine and beautiful! April looked at Alex, she gave him an odd smile.

"What?" Alex was puzzled.

"Is James used to buying girl clothes?" April wanted to know if James buys Francesca's clothes too. For emergencies.

"Not that I know of. Why?" Alex rubbed his chin, puzzled to where is April's thoughts heading.

"How come he knew about women clothing that much? Is he married?" April sat on the bed, as her hand looked at the clothes that she will be using for this weekend.

"Nope". Alex chuckled. James was about his age, yet he wasn't married yet.

"Dating?" April didn't gave up.

"Nope".

"Ahh. I know. Did you ask him to buy clothes for her before?" April's hand stop. Even though her voice sounded enthusiastic, her mind wasn't.

"Her? You mean..?" Alex's brows lift up. He finally caught on to her thoughts. It was about his wife.

"Yes, her. Did you?" April took a deep breath and looked back to Alex.

Alex sat down beside her and held her waist. "To be honest, I haven't been able to buy her anything except during an occasion. Even then, she has to pick her own gift. She didn't trust my judgement, I guess. Even If I wanted to, she would not accept it." Alex shrugged his shoulders. Thinking about it, it did seems odd. It should've been normal for him to give something to his wife. Yet the lather prefers to choose it herself.

When they started dating, she already made it a law. That she won't accept anything, unless there was an occasion.

April's brows furrowed, what kind of woman was Francesca? Not that April was into Alex's wallet, The wife still should've accepted his gifts. The more she heard about their marriage, the more April was confused. Are they not happy with each other?

Seeing her puzzled look, Alex chuckled. "I told you, don't worry about her or me. All I want to do for now, is to be able to spend my time with you." Alex kissed her forehead.

April closed her eyes. Those words did wonders to her heart. It was currently leaping for joy.

"Alex. I want to tell you something." April's eyes remained close.

"Hmm?" Alex looked at her, wondering where she was going now.

"It's about that night, when we conceived Sky." April gulped. She was too happy right now and this secret was the only thing that she was guilty of.

April wanted to be be honest with Alex, She didn't want it to be a cause of an argument later. Loving Alex was the most selfish thing she had ever done.

"What about it baby? And why aren't you looking at me?" Alex's brows crossed.

"I want to tell you this because I want to be with you. I'm afraid that looking at you, won't help me say it." April lowered her head.

Alex didn't replied, letting her freely speak her mind. He was getting slightly nervous and curious. Hearing her say that she wanted to be with him, made him feel warm inside.

"Alex, I love you." April whispered, her hand clenched at her dress. Her eyes were beginning to water.
