Chapter 10
Don't Give Up On Love Too Soon
Arica and Anneliese are at the mall shopping. Anneliese suddenly stops when she sees Tyler kissing another woman. Anneliese tries everything that she can to make sure that Arica doesn't see. Arica suddenly stops when she sees Tyler kissing the other woman. Arica runs off. Anneliese walks over to where Tyler is kissing the other woman and clears her throat. Tyler and the woman break their kiss.
"Tyler Adam Payne how could you do this to my twin sister! I thought you loved her and she also thought you loved her, but I guess we were wrong! You broke her heart and I have a feeling that she'll never find love again!" Anneliese said with an angry tone in her voice.
Anneliese storms off home than opens the door and slams it behind her. Robbie Ray hears the door slam than comes and sees Anneliese.
"What's wrong darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
"I'm so angry at him for hurting her." Anneliese answered.
"Who are you talking about darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
"I'm talking about Tyler hurting Arica." Anneliese answered.
"What do you mean hurting her?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Arica and I saw him kissing another woman while we were at the mall." Anneliese answered.
"Where is Arica now?" Robbie Ray asked.
"I don't know sweetheart because she ran off when she saw Tyler kissing the other woman." Anneliese answered.
Meanwhile at the beach
Arica is sitting in the loneliest part of the beach watching the waves. Chad is walking along the shoreline and he stops when he sees Arica. Chad walks over to Arica and sits down next to her.
"What's the matter?" Chad asked.
"I saw my boyfriend kissing another woman today at the mall when I was there with my twin sister." Arica answered.
Chad puts his arm around Arica and pulls her close to him.
"Well than that's his lost and he obviously doesn't know what true love is and he wouldn't have done that to you." Chad said.
Arica stared at Chad. Randee just happens to be walking on the beach thinking about everything. Randee suddenly stops when she sees Chad and Arica together. Randee walks over to where they are.
"What do you think you are doing?" Randee asked.
"Arica just caught her boyfriend kissing another woman so I was comforting her." Chad answered.
Randee shakes her head.
"Why do you want to comfort someone that's not me?" Randee asked.
"She didn't have anyone else to comfort her." Chad answered.
"You know what Chad I'm sick and tried of listening to your excuses for everytime you do this to me." Randee said.
"What do you mean?" Arica asked.
"He does this all the time with every girl that he meets because he's just a player when it comes to women." Randee answered.
Chad gets to his feet and gives Arica a hug. Randee shakes her head.
"Well fine if that's the way you feel than we are through for good and have a nice life without me. You will never see your daughter ever again but than again that shouldn't mean a great deal to you because you never cared about your daughter or me." Randee screamed.
Randee runs off and heads to Anneliese's place with tears streaming down her face. Randee gets there than knocks on the door. Miley opens the door.
"What's wrong?" Miley asked.
"I need to talk to your mother." Randee answered through her tears.
Anneliese suddenly appears and takes Randee out to the patio.
"What's with the tears?" Anneliese asked.
"I caught Chad cheating on me with your twin sister." Randee answered.
"(scoffs) He's at it again, but this time I think that he won't cheat on Arica because I...well I can't tell you about that right now." Anneliese said.
"Well it doesn't matter anymore because I'm done with love." Randee replied.
"No, Randee you can't give up on love." Robbie Ray said as he comes onto the patio.
"Why did you say that?" Randee asked.
"I was like you before I met Anneliese but from the moment I met her I knew that she was the one and she changed my whole outlook on love around. The reason it hasn't happen for you is because you haven't met that special someone that you are meant to be with yet." Robbie Ray answered.
"That's ridiculous because I don't have a special someone." Randee said.
"Yes you do because everyone does." Robbie Ray replied.
Anneliese smiled and looks up into Robbie Ray's gorgeous green eyes. Robbie Ray smiled too and looks into Anneliese's beautiful blue eyes. A few minutes later they get caught up in a passionate kiss. Randee shakes her head than goes to Rico's Surf Shop. Randee sits down at one of the tables and buries her head in her hands. Rico walks over and sits down next to Randee.
"What's the matter toots?" Rico asked.
"I don't want to talk about it especially not with you." Randee answered.
Cymbria comes running over.
"Did you have a fight with daddy?" Cymbria asked.
"Yes I did Bria." Randee answered.
"Are you going to make up with him?" Cymbria asked.
"No sweetie I'm not." Randee answered.
"Do you still love daddy?" Cymbria asked.
"No I don't." Randee answered.
Chad walks over to Randee with Arica.
"If you don't want to be with me anymore than I think we should get a divorce." Chad said.
Randee gets to her feet than takes Cymbria's hand and they walk to the divorce agency. Chad and Randee sign the divorce papers. Randee gets her last name changed back to Malone and she gets Cymbria's last name changed to Malone too. Randee walks back to Rico's Surf Shop. Cymbria walks off to play in the sand. Randee sits down at the same place she was sitting before. All of a sudden a handsome man a few years younger than Randee comes over and sits down next to her. The man has brown hair with hazel eyes and he's 6 feet tall.
"Are you ok?" The man asked.
Randee looks at him.
"Yeah I guess now that I'm not married to my jerk of a husband anymore." Randee answered.
"What happen?" The man asked.
"He cheated on me with my best friend's twin sister." Randee answered.
"Ouch that's gotta hurt." The man said.
Randee looks at the man.
"Who are you anyway?" Randee asked.
"My name is Elijah Marlin Walsh." The man answered.
Randee sighed.
"My name is Randee Grace Malone." Randee said.
Elijah smiled. Cymbria comes running over.
"Mommy, I saw a jellyfish." Cymbria whined.
Randee smiled than pulls Cymbria up onto her lap. Elijah looks at Cymbria than at Randee.
"You have a daughter?" Elijah asked.
Randee nodded her head.
"Yes I do and her name is Cymbria Emilie Malone." Randee answered.
"How old she is?" Elijah asked.
"She's 5 ½ years old." Randee answered.
Cymbria looks at Elijah.
"Who are you?" Cymbria asked.
"This is Elijah Walsh." Randee answered.
"It's nice to meet you." Cymbria said.
"Likewise Cymbria." Elijah replied.
Cymbria smiled. A few hours later Randee and Cymbria go to Lisa's house. It's a few days later now. Randee is at the beach walking along the shoreline. Elijah runs up beside Randee.
"We have to stopping meeting like this." Randee said.
"Did you ever think it could be fate that we are always meeting like this?" Elijah answered.
"I don't believe in fate anymore." Randee said.
Elijah sighed.
"It looks like it's going to take me a long time to win her over so that she's mine but for her I can wait." Elijah said.
All of a sudden a lady runs up to Elijah.
"You forgot your house key Eli." The lady said.
Randee looks at the lady than at Elijah.
"Who is this lady?" Randee asked.
"This is my mother Jewel." Elijah answered.
Randee smiled. Jewel smiled than leaves. Elijah walks over to where Rico is than comes back a few minutes later with two bottles of water and passes one to Randee.
"Why did you get me water?" Randee asked.
"It's a hot day out so you need water to keep cool and not faint from heat stroke." Elijah answered.
Randee smiled.
"Aww, he's incredibly sweet and nice. He's also really handsome. No, I said that I won't fall in love again but I just can't help it." Randee thinks to herself.
Elijah waves his hand in front of Randee's face.
"Are you in there?" Elijah asked.
"Yeah I am and sorry I got lost in my thoughts." Randee answered.
"Thoughts about what?" Elijah asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Randee answered.
"Why not?" Elijah asked.
"I just don't ok." Randee answered.
Elijah and Randee sit in silence for the longest time. Elijah suddenly pulls Randee close and kisses her. Randee's eyes widen in shock. Elijah suddenly pulls away.
"I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me." Elijah said.
Randee starts to blush than runs off. Anneliese and Robbie Ray are kissing on the patio. Randee runs up to them and clears her thought. Anneliese looks at Randee and notices her red cheeks.
"What happen?" Anneliese asked.
"I met this guy named Elijah Walsh the day that I broke up with Chad. I met him again today and he kissed me." Randee answered.
"What was like it?" Robbie Ray asked.
"It was totally magical." Randee answered.
Anneliese smiled.
"Are you in love with him?" Anneliese asked.
"I wasn't at first but now I'm falling in love with him big time." Randee answered.
Elijah suddenly appeared.
"Why did you take off like that?" Elijah asked.
"I needed time to think about what happened between us." Randee answered.
"Oh come you're making a big deal out of. We just kissed it's not like we made love or anything." Elijah answered.
Randee smiled.
"You know Eli you're really funny sometimes." Randee said.
"Does that mean that you'll come on date with me tonight?" Elijah asked.
"Yes I will but it's just a two friends going out because I'm not ready to for a new relationship." Randee said.
"That's fine with me." Elijah replied.
A few hours later Elijah meets Randee at the beach. They go to the cinema. Elijah opens the door for Randee. A few hours later the movie is over so they go to a restaurant. Elijah orders spaghetti and a chocolate milkshake with two straws. They get their meal than Elijah orders a Chocolate Eruption Cake for desert. They eat the cake. Elijah walks Randee back to Lisa and Jon's house. Randee goes to go inside but Elijah stops her and kisses her passionately. Randee goes inside than goes to bed dreaming about one day marrying Elijah. Elijah is at home dreaming of marrying Randee and being Cymbria's step-father.
