Alex looks at Diandra thinking she really seems to have a craving for sweet things but I can't believe I could be so wrong?'
At that moment he thought she was hurting because she has fallen in love with him, and having to leave him, and return just to be with her friends and that was causing the pain.'
When she said, "Alex, open your mouth," he did as she ask, as she put the spoonful of ice cream in his mouth, when she had another spoon full he shake his head.
Saying, "Thanks, but you know I don't like chocolate ice cream," when he finishes attending to her foot, he went into the kitchen.
Thinking, 'How will I leave when every day I spend with him, it is becoming more difficult to make up my mind. I know I says things to let him know I am leaving but I don't know if I can tell him it to his face.'
When he comes and sit next to her with his glass of vanilla ice cream, we just relax. 'This is what I will miss the most, us just being with each other.'
Closing her eyes when he rest his left hand on her shoulder. Hearing him sigh as though he want to say something, but didn't know how to start or where to begin.
We must have sit like that for fifteen minutes when he said, "We must do this more often, do you know I does be in Longfield regular? Diandra, how about when I come on Fridays you come up with me, and spend the weekend home here?"
"We will see."
When he sprints up suddenly then runs up the stairs, wanting to know what he was so energetic about? 'Well, he has eaten ice cream, so he must be hyper.'
He was almost up the stairs when the gate bell ring, "Honey, will you get that for me please?" Seeing her towel hanging on the banister, he throws it for her.
Wrapping up her hair then used the towel and band it up. Walking to the door Diandra open it, seeing this beautiful young lady maybe about her age or even a year or two older standing by the gate. Wondering, 'Who was this?' "Yes, can I help you?"
"Hello, I wanted to know if Mr. Alexander Mellford is home?"
"Yes, he is but who may I say is calling?"
"I am his friend."
"My dear, he has so many friends, whom do I say is calling?"
"Sorry, about that but the name is Roxanne."
Opening the gate for her to enter, then close the gate, as she walks up the few steps with her tall heels, Diandra said to her, "Please be careful as you walk, we recently tile the floor."
"I notice he took my advice and repaint the house."
"Were you here before, Miss Roxanne?"
"Yes, when I came and see the house, I told him it need a woman touch." Diandra notices the way she was looking at her, then she asks, "And who are you?"
"I am a friend who assisted him with the designing and the new look."
"You did a spectaculars job, it look amazing."
"Thank you, and please have a seat, Alex will be down in a few minutes, let me get you something to drink as you wait."
Seeing Alex came running down the stairs, he seem excited about something, Hearing him ask, "Diandra, who was at the front?"
When Roxanne stood up saying, "Hello Alex."
Seeing the shock on Alex face but said nothing when he asks, "Roxanne, what are you doing here?"
"Alex, you sound shock to see me?"
"I am, so what are you really doing here?"
"Well Alex, I was passing by and I notice you took my advice and redo the house, it looks exceptional."
"Thank you Roxanne, so explain what you really want?"
Diandra walk to Roxanne side, "I am sorry, Alex and I didn't cook any lunch, but I could fix you a sandwich, it will only take a minute, so tell me, will you like one?
Alex and I was planning to go and celebrate the completion of the house, so we had a light lunch.
Seeing her shakes her head then Alex said. "Diandra we will be late."
"Never mind that Alex, we can do that later, the evening is still young."
Notice Alex looking at her, because we didn't confirm anything. Saying to him as she reaches up and kiss his lips, "I will be in the room resting we can celebrate later."
Looking at her go, her hair was still band up with the towel but he was unable to believe she was so calm.
Observing her to see a reaction, but none came, she didn't even look back as she slowly climb the stairs.
So lost in his thoughts he never heard a word Roxanne said, blinking when she waves her hand in front of his face, hearing her saying, "Darlin, you haven't heard a word I said."
"Sorry, Roxanne, what did you say?"
"I said, you can really pick them."
"What is your problem Roxanne? And I already asked, why are you here?"
"So, I can't pay you a visit, we are still friends Alex?"
"Roxanne, we were friends, but not anymore."
"So what with this house guest of yours, I thought you was waiting for that beloved wife of your, to return?"
"Well, I take your advice, what is the use of being holy and sanctimonious, you said I was grieving my heart and you were right.
My wife must be happy enjoying her life thinking this fool of a husband could wait. So I decided it was long enough, so why wait when I have a beautiful woman in my house?"
"So all that act of your, was it just to get rid of me?"
"No Roxanne, at the time I believe every word I said, but then you put me to think, that's all."
'Well now that you change your mind, why don't we go and have some fun?"
