Lara
When had it all started to go wrong she asked herself but, in her inner self she knew when, she has started to fall apart the day she and Alex broke up all those years ago. Since then she had had few but passionate relationships, each ending in heartache and pain and so now ***** was right. He told her just before she shot him that she wouldn't ever let anyone in and he was right! After he father and Alex none of it seemed worth it anymore. So she had put walls up around her heart and that was it! The story that shaped the woman that people had come to know the notoriously hard, adventure seeking and extremely wealthy Lara Croft, Tomb Raider and Archaeologist.
Lara was pulled out of her thoughts as she heard a car proceed up the drive. AS she looked out the window she froze, there walking to the door was Alex West, the man who had once been her lover, the man who stole from her, the man who she hadn't seen in nearly 6 months (not that she was counting or anything.) the man that could get under her skin so easily yet make her smile and laugh, the man that sparked so many emotions in side of her that she almost lost her composure.
// Pull you self together!"// she scolded her self as she walked out of her suite and down the hall leading to the stairs from where she could hear her butler and Alex taking.
Making sure that she couldn't be seen she peaked around the wall to take a sneak glance at Alex before she had to come face to face with him. He had changed that much was obvious but how much she had no idea.
His body was certainly leaner and his hair was more styled in little soft spikes, the suit he wore was classy and the briefcase he carried looked stylish and important. But it wasn't all the physical things that enthralled Lara as she stood there watching him it was something else. He looked more comfortable with himself she decided, his voice wasn't so harsh and his tone was relaxed (if a little nervous.) His stance was polite and up-front as he addressed Hilary.
AS she heard he name mentioned Lara decided that it was time to face the music.
// Now don't go all-soft, just because Alex is back and you have had an emotional couple of weeks. The guy stoles from you remember that! // Her inner self barked at her as she walked out cool and calm and met his eyes. " There's no need to Hilary, Lady Croft is right here."
