Chapter 12

Aaron

We all have walls that we put up. Some are so high that it takes forever to break down. Some walls are made of ; glass , metal bricks , or the hardest one of them all titanium.

I fell for an amazing woman in a short space of time... over a period of time to come think of it, and I love her unconditionally.

David also clicked with her which is a surprise because he never liked any woman I introduced to him; he was just always angry too when I was with Mia , and when I caught her physically and verbally abusing him I called it a day on a year long relationship. My boy has been through a lot and I know he's keeping something from me. He opened up to Lexi and Caleb...I wonder what I'm doing wrong that they are both doing right. Caleb has told me about Lexi's dad and how he almost killed her unintentionally. I asked her yesterday what really happened and she told me that her dad came back home one day after a night out with his friends . He was too drunk to do anything and she answered the door. Out of the blue her dad started beating her up and blaming her for being born ... he said he wished she was never born because she always talked back and why wasn't she like her brother and sister . She had told her mother that she came home from school and found her dad with another woman and she paid dearly. She ended up in hospital with a head concussion a bruised and bloodied body.

Her mother was working

night shift and when she found out what had happened she took the necewssary steps to ensure she was safe . It later emerged that her father threw her into a glass door and he was in an altered state of mind. Their mother moved them away to another neighborhood. Last night I ended up in bed with Lexi. We were watching a romance movie and she ended up sleeping on my shoulder unexpectedly.

I slept with her on my chest. Seeing her in a fragile state and all guards down just made me appreciate what I found and I know I found something worth more than gold.

I was slowly coming around from the most peaceful and restful sleep I've had ,the shutters were still down but the one we left open was letting the sun shine through. I stretch my hand out to feel around the bed, and something felt different. My arm was placed around a warm body . I took deep breath and opened my eyes and started kissing her shoulder making my way up to her neck sucking and planting kissed until she turned around to look at me .

"Morning ."

I kissed her forehead and she kissed my neck and pulled back to get something out of her bag.

"Morning babe . Did you sleep well?"

"Hmm."

She straddled me and started kissing me moving lower I could get used to waking up like this. She had her hair pinned up in a bun ... when did she do it.

"Lexi what are you doing my angel ?"

"Thanking you. "

I held her face gently and she looked up at me all bright eyed.

"Who are you and what did you do to Alexis?"

She went all pouty and stopped. It wasn't helping that I was already getting turned on and my boxers weren't feeling comfortable anymore. I'm in trouble. How am I going to be in the same room with her without digging into my self-control reserves.

"Well I'm your girlfriend and I am marking whats mine... unless you want hickeys all over your neck ... you have two that I'm proud of ."

"Ha ha okay don't stop continue doing what you were about to do, and then I will return the favour. I really want to feel what its like to feel myself inside you."

Lexi slid back up , got off me and snuggled beside me. I leaned over to give her a kiss and she kissed me back. She looked at me and smiled...

" dido."

" dido?"

" Yes only from my point of view I can't wait to feel you inside me."

"So we are in agreement?"

"Yes silly it goes without saying that we both want the same thing. "

"Ha ha yes we do . I really want to make us work."

"It took you two years to finally make your move. I was well aware about your feelings for me. I just found it kinda freaky you stalked me for that long."

I pulled Lexi closer to me and she giggled . I knew what she was laughing at.

" I'm sorry for stopping you. Its also sorry and needs you."

Lexi's phone rang ; I shook my head , looked at her and before I could reach for it she grabbed it and walked to the other side of the room and stuck her tounge out at me . She eas wearing a white tank top with matching lace undies. She looked at me and beckoned me with her index finger smiling . I crawled out of bed and followed her . She knew what I was thinking and she also had to go get ready with the bride... I followed her because I knew we were both pressed for time.

By the time we were finished I went to my hotel room to go check on Dave and Caleb. Both were not up. When I walked in Caleb sent me a text last night telling me to talk to Dave when I arrive back. I poured myself a cup of coffee and took a moment to digest last night and this morning. I am happy... and it doesn't feel wrong. I was mid day dreaming when I heard David screaming his lungs out . I ran down to his room and he was having a nightmare. He was kicking and screaming. He was saying ; no , stop it grandpa , don't do it I will be good please dont ...

I ran to him and woke him up.

He started punching me but I was able to stop him. I saw a scar that I hadn't noticed on his arm. I started talking to him calmly and he started going lax in my arms.

When he wok up he started crying.

"Daddy. I'm sorry. "

"Its okay my angel. Whats wrong?"

David hugged me tighter and his clothes were drenched in his own sweat. My heart aches at the fact that I've missed lot and its breaking because he's been through something serious.

He looked at me shook his head and started crying. All I could do was comfort him.
