Its been a while I know but the reviews have been encouraging. Please review some more and also any suggestions would be nice. Also can somebody out there please write a Peter/Alicia story
What? he said fearfully.
Peter if im going to have any perspective about us I need time out. I need to move away from you and think things through. What im saying is I need time out. I mean we're just co – existing here and its not fair on you and not fair on me.
Peter let go of her hands which he realised he had been clasping onto a bit too tightly and moved in front of her. They looked at each other for the first time properly in a long time. She looked tired and worn out but god she was beautiful and so dignified. She was a classy lady and he knew he had got damn lucky. In one way he realised he had been sabotaging their relationship for years as he never felt deserving of her. As he stood in front of her now he knew he was going to have the fight of his life but he was going to try and let her do this her way. It was the very least he could do.
Ok he said softly. Alicia raised her eyebrows. A little bit disappointed he was not putting up more of a fight but at the same time relieved. Alicia im doing this your way but that does not mean ive given up on us. But ill be damned if im having you move out of here. Ive caused this mess and and you're staying here with the kids. Its not fair on you and its definitely not fair on the kids. Alicia started protesting but the thought of her kids being uprooted again made her relent. Them staying with Peter was just not an option and she was glad Peter hadn't even suggested that. She was grateful that the kids was one topic that Peter and her were absolutely in agreement about. They both knew they were better off with their mother. Besides they were used to not having their father around.
"What are we going to tell them Peter? We've put them through so much and now this. You know they are not going to get it – they are going to think its cause of Will. On hearing his name Peter tensed – Alicia felt his response. Why would they think that Alicia? Alicia hadn't told him about the conversation the three of them had about Will. She looked at him and told him Grace suspected things (she purposely omitted to tell him about Grace over hearing her conversation with Will – Peter had heard enough for one about Will)
Peter eyes suddenly seemed sadder than ever Alicia thought. My God Alicia now the kids think there's something going on? Is this a lot deeper than ive led myself to believe? No Peter but can we not talk about this now Peter please – I think we need to move on from here. Peter rubbed his face tiredly and said he'll be on his way. As he got up Alicia pulled his hand back and asked him to stay the night – it was late and there was no point leaving now. Too tired to argue and thankful he nodded and walked to the guest room leaving Alicia alone in the living room. It had been a hell of a night.
