I had to upload this chapter again because I'm so dumb that I forgot what I wanted to write in this :LOL: So there was a missing part and it was important.
CHAPTER 9
ONLY ONE
Tim moved around in the bed, holding out his arm, trying to find Alex. He opened his eyes, realizing she wasn't next to him. He looked around in the empty room, rubbing his eyes to clear his vision.
„Lexy?" He called, his voice husky from the sleeping.
When didn't come answer he heard the sound of piano and the sweet voice of Alex singing. He got up and followed the voice, his heart beating fast as he listened to the song.
My eyes are painted red
The canvas of my soul,
Slowly breaking down,again
Today I heard the news
The stories getting old
When will we see the end?
Of the days, we bleed for what we need
To forgive, forget, move on
Cause we've got
He stopped behind her quietly, just watching her siloutte. She sat there, wrapped in sheets, and she looked like a painting. He wondered if he would be able to forgive for himself. He ruined her life. He couldn't deal with the memory of that night, especially now he knew Alex was damaged because of him. That was the reason he never tried to contact her because he never forgave himself. She said she forgave him, that she didn't blame him but did she mean it?
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us,
Only one
Only one
"Nice song," he sat next to Alex, kissing her shoulder lightly.
"I meant it," Alex smiled at him. "Only one, Timmy."
Tim kissed her softly, just enjoying her sweet lips.
"What happened that night?" Alex asked, pulling away slightly.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wanted this, he wanted to tell her what happened but it was damn hard to talk about it, especially after what he found out yesterday.
"After you sang… I just knew I wanted you, that it was you all along," he started. "I just… I wanted to clear things with Lyla before I went to you."
"Did you break up with her?" Alex gasped.
"Yeah… But it was too late…" Tim shrugged.
How many times he wished he would have gone to Alex and just forgot about Lyla. At the time he truly thought that was the right thing to do but regretted it everyday.
"Damn… I was such a bitch with you," Alex hugged him, tightly. "I thought that you…"
"I know. And I'm sorry I wasn't there," Tim murmured, pulling her in his lap.
"Alex, sweety, where are you? Mikey is here," they heard Mike stomping through the rooms.
"So much for peace," Alex growled, leaning her head on Tim's shoulder.
"I brought ice…" Mike stopped in the door, staring at the pair with wide eyes. "Oh, you have company."
"Hey, Mike," Alex giggled, seeing her friend blushing.
"I didn't know that you… Well, I thought that you two…" He rambled, nervously.
"Mikey, breath," Alex laughed. "Tim is here because we've got some unfinished business."
"I can tell you managed to finish it," Mike grinned at them.
"I'd better give you some privacy and put on some clothes," Tim said, realizing he was only in his boxers.
He thought about the song Alex sang. And what she said. Did she mean he was that one? He knew for a fact Alex was the one for him. He tried to live without her but that was just existance. Sleeping around, parties, like he was still in high school. He never thought about settle down because he could never see himself as a happily married man.
But he realized it was only because he didn't find the right woman, or he did but he managed to lost her. He wanted to make up to her for what happened. He wanted to be there for her whenever she needed him. He would be good enough for her. There was no way he would let her down again Tim decided.
