She sighed. There was more she wanted to say, but she had to accept that he wouldn't change his mind. At least, not in this conversation. She remembered Toni trying to talk her out of a broken heart. Healing doesn't happen that way.
Instead of continually slapping that open wound, she decided to leave it be. His healing would have to happen in his own time. Hopefully, the darkness that Summer created would eventually break, and the light of day would shine through.
Taking a sharp turn from this conversation, she said, "Well, I'm gonna start watching Game of Thrones. I would love it if you would join me."
She said it so casually that it almost seemed out of place in the current conversation. Alex took a minute to think about things. After reliving his experiences with Summer, he was raw and vulnerable. He wasn't sure he could handle being around her right now.
But maybe, just maybe, that was just what he needed.
She felt his ambivalence, so she softly repeated, "I'm not Summer, Lexxy. And you know what? You're not Trey. Let's live or die by our own merits; not by the ones who came before."
That struck home. After another moment to think, Alex acquiesced. His white flag of surrender was him asking, "Will there be snacks?"
"Yeah, when you bring them."
Alex let out a breath before saying, "I'll be there in a half hour."
"I'll be waiting."

Anonymous8 months agoI can’t believe that he went back to the motel to pick Summer up, what kind of pathetic, spineless, wimp would do that? Personally, I would have driven to her home and told her mother where she was and who she was with, then I would have driven home.
LenardSpencerover 2 years agoMo just doesn't see what she is doing. Next time she gets horney and wants to scratch her itch, she'll phone up the last guy she fucked from the niteclub and he'll come around and give her a jolly good rogering for a few hours. Yet again, the "good" guy is left by the wayside.
Cruiser1088about 3 years agoThere were parts in the story that really finally open my eyes because he sounds a lot like me it’s seriously open my eyes I’m letting the ones of my past affect my future
amygdalaover 3 years agoJesus this is good stuff. I was suppose to head out and take care of some stuff, but I’m glued to my tablet binging on this series. Please don’t turn her into a cheating sleazebag.

Karipetalmost 4 years agoYou have to dig through a lot of coal on this site to find the occasional gem. This is one of those stories that I've really thoroughly enjoyed. A solid plot, romance, characters with depth. Great stuff!
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoI think Monique might be a little confused with her feelings because, as she said, she's never felt this way before, even to the man she was gonna marry! So I understand her hesitancy to make a relationship romantic when she just found another man to be to be comfortable around and try new things. But, I get Alex too. There were some longing gazes between them that I definitely felt through the writing lol so him trying to kiss her wasn't so far fetched. But he has to also understand that when you kiss someone, its because you both understand that you're attracted to to each. Don't go in for a kiss if you're unsure or are at a maybe because you WILL get your feelings hurt. Summer sucks and he has every right to feel upset but he also has to take responsibility for his actions. Like come on he saw her kiss another guy after using him as a scapegoat with her mom... and STILL picked her up?!?!? Know your worth king! Also what was that nonsense with Mo telling him she had sex? Like girl, he didn't need to know that for your point to made, nor did the author need to put that in. I can def tell this was written by a white dude but this is one of the few that don't make black women look so stupidly stereotypical so I'm here for it so far! I just want them to kiss and go on a date at least sheesh!
