Alex had to attend an important business meeting about six hours drive away from here, so he left yesterday and was coming back in two days, so he couldn't look after the twins for me. But I was sure the twins would have fun with Mom and Dad anyways.
Changing into a comfortable and casual yet slightly formal outfit- a pair of shorts, a blouse and a pair of heeled ankle boots- the bell rang as soon as I finished. I don't know how I made it just on time, but I did.
I opened the door, slightly nervous but with a glare. "Don't you dare pull an act like that ever again or God help you."
He simply grinned at me, ignoring my threat. "You look beautiful."
He placed a small kiss on my cheek before handing me a single white rose. He looked amazing as well- but I wasn't about to mention that. He was definitely the hottest guy I had ever laid eyes on, and he looked even better right now with his light chinos and plain blue polo shirt- which brought out his eyes.
"Shall we get going then? I want this to finish as soon as possible."
He simply chuckled, looking at me with amusement in his eyes. It seemed like today, whatever I said wouldn't change his ecstatic mood. He would still look at me with that massive grin . . .all because I had agreed to go on a date with him.

So far, the date had gone surprisingly well, and I found myself enjoying myself. Shocker, right? He had taken me on a totally cheesy and romantic date. He had driven for more than an hour to the beach, where he had set up a picnic on the cliff which overlooked the beach.
As cheesy and as cliched as it was, I found it quite cute and sweet. In the car, we had talked about everything from our favourite types of music and to our favourite colours. Chase was trying to be funny, cracking a stupid joke here and there, nevertheless, it made me laugh.
And I was quite shocked with we arrived at the beach, because I had expected somewhere not so romantic. But it turns out that Chase was quite the romantic at heart.
He seemed really curious to want to hear about my life as well, and how different it was or how hard it was being in the eyes of the media all the time. And I would answer to his questions as honestly as I could.
As we sat silently eating food he had brought, he asked a question which surprised me slightly because not many people were interested in it anyways, so they hardly asked about it. But Chase did.
"How were you found?"
"Yeah, well now I hope you know how much your cowardliness cost you," I snorted.
"I do. I know how much it cost me. It cost me you and four- nearly five- years of our children's lives. I thought about you everyday," he admitted.
"Yeah, I'm sure you were thinking about me when you mated Nicole huh? Or maybe you thought about me when you fucked those countless other girls?" I said sarcastically.
"Yes, I did. I was drunk off my ass when I mated Nicole, and I couldn't just walk away from her after I mated her. There was a connection between me and her. Every time I was with one of those girls, I pictured you . . .every single fucking time."
"You couldn't just walk away from her, yet you could walk away from me . . . your own mate. You really are a bastard, you know that?"
"I know I am. I know . . .and that's why I've paid for it every single day of the last five years. I know you wouldn't believe me if I told you I love you, but I do. And it hurts me, seeing you happy with another guy," he said, as a single tear leaked out of his eyes.
