My Most Precious One(110)

Lukas

Since the day you left me alone in my condo, I realize that I was wrong to leave the way I did. You deserved better than that, but my pride got in the way and I pretty much screwed things up. I realize that what you did was out of love for me and how much you didn’t want to see me hurt but the reality was your decision only hurt me more. But that is the past now and I’ve finally found what I think I’ve been seeking. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m sorry for not trusting in you enough to let you explain. I’m sorry I didn’t love you the way you deserved. I don’t know if you’ll get this in time. But I wanted to invite you to the opening of my wine bar, the winecafé. I’ll understand if you don’t want to see me. I just wanted the chance just to say thank you. Thank you for loving me the way you did. Lukas Blakk I want you to know that you will forever be the love of my life, no matter what this world holds for me that will always be true. You made me realize a love that was rare and beautiful and for that I will always be grateful. Not a single day has gone by or will go by that you will not be a part of. Thank you for everything.

Alexia

I broke down and started to crying, I only allowed a few tears of regret and pain. I still missed him but that part of my life was done. Now a new chapter was about to begin.





I Belong To You

It was October 31st, the day seriously snuck up on me. I was busy running around trying my hardest to get everything together. Thank god for Roxi and her sister. They once owned a party planning company and I was all to welcoming when they offered their help.

“Is Kaci coming?” Roxi asked knowing we weren’t on good terms right now.

“I’m hoping.” I said nervously, my stomach had gotten the better of me and I spent the better part of the day trying to ease the pain.

“She better fucken come or else I’m going to find the bitch and drag her by the hair so she can see your place.” Roxi threatened as she wiped down the dark wooden tables.

The place looked amazing. Dark wood was everywhere except for the booths that were made of hard red leather. The lighting was dim as three huge chandeliers made up of wine glasses hung accenting the space around the insanely beautiful bar that was lines with supple dark brown leather stools. All I served was wine and some finger foods that accompanied the wine you ordered. I had a live dj that played a beautiful mix of jazz and heavy beats. The bar was a dream come true. I ignored Roxi and her sister most of the day only because I knew they had everything handled and I focused on getting ready for the first night of a long awaited dream that I wanted but never had the guts to do.

It was opening time and I was completely frazzled. Roxi sat me down and poured me a glass of wine.

“Drink it and relax. You got this Lexi. This is your world. The moment anyone walks in here, they’re walking into your world.” She pushed the glass to me and I literally gulped it down.

“Ok I thought you’re supposed to enjoy it not chug it.” She grimaced.

“Shut up!” I said nervously. She poured me another; by the second glass I was ready.

Slowly, slowly everyone I had invited had started to come in. A nice slow soft opening for only my family and friends. I smiled the moment I saw Gavin and his wife. I had missed him and was glad that he could make it.

“It’s a great place Lexi.” His thick Scottish accent made my belly turn. An accent is always a sexy feature. The music kicked in and the wine flowed. I smiled looking on happily, watching everyone enjoy their night.

My waiters and waitress were well informed on the bottles of wine we had and what they were about. I made sure. Each and every one of them had to pass a test.

I laughed when I saw my mother and father having a good time with their friends who congratulated them on my store. I was looking at them not noticing where I was going when I bummed into someone.

“Sorry.” I smiled as I looked around to see who it was.

My heart skipped a beat when my eyes fell upon the most beautiful and comforting face I had ever seen. Lukas had come. He smiled gently mostly like he was testing the waters to see if it was ok that he was here. I smiled back assuring him it was.

“Hi.” I said meekly.

“Hello Alexia.” My name rolled off his tongue like a song he had sung. The world around us had stopped, the music slowed and only Lukas and I existed.

“Thank you for coming.” I said softly.

“You’re welcome.”

“SPEECH!” I heard Roxi’s voice through the speakers. I looked to see where she was, she waved me down telling me to come over.

“I better go.” I murmured and He nodded.

Roxi pulled me up onto the bar and handed me the microphone. I cleared my throat and looked up, I don’t know why my eyes found Lukas but there they stayed as I started my speech.
