Perfectly Flawed (re-writing)

Chapter 26

"Philip explained as the years would go on, I would relax a lot more as I wouldn't be in the heart of the work, but making sure everything within the companies all over the world were running smoothly. Philip explained if I wasn't able to travel I would hire and have a jump in CEO for when I am unavailable." When Alex was finished talking he looked at Emilia who seemed to be thinking about what he said.

"So you choice the job because in the end you won't have to work as much." Alex nodded his head hoping that she would understand that everything he does he thinks of her and Aiden.

"I don't know Alex." Emilia said unsure of herself. Yes Alex would get to spend more time at home, but what about the first 4 years. Would she be able to cope with living with Alex when he is never home?

"Emilia hear me out please. I know this is going to be tuff with me always working, but I promise I will try and make this work to the best of my ability. I can't imagine my life without. However with that being said I need to know that you are in this with me because if you are not I know I won't be able to cope with you leaving and neither will Aiden."

"He sees you as a mother and for you to leave our lives permanently." Alex can't finish the sentence because the thought of not being with Emilia sends him into a state of panic that will hold him under not allowing him to breath.

"Alex I want to be with you and Aiden, but I am worried that you are going to forget about us, me and leave us for work forgetting that you have a family that love you at home." Alex sighed not sure what he could do to reassure Emilia that he wasn't going to forget about them.

"Emilia I don't know what else I can say to make you believe that I will never forget you or Aiden. You are the love of my life Emilia. When I see myself in the future I see you in standing by my side married and carrying our child inside of you. I see us growing old together and spoiling our grandchildren and great grandchildren. How would I be able to forget you when every time I close my eyes or drift off into space that is what I see, hear and think?" Alex brings Emilia hands up towards his mouth and kisses her hands while looking into her green eyes that are shining with devotion and love.

"Oh Alex I missed you." Emilia leant forward across the table meeting Alex halfway as their lips touched for the briefest moments. It was like fireworks where set off where their lips touched and even if it for the briefest moment they both felt the underlying love by a simple touch of their lips.

"Promise you won't ever leave me again no matter how hard or how little I am home." Alex whispered knowing that he wouldn't be able to live without Emilia.

"I promise I will stay with you no matter how hard things become." Alex stood out of his seat and pulled Emilia from hers not caring who was watching and slammed his lips onto hers. Alex hands moved from Emilia waist to her face which he cupped gently as he let himself get caught up in the fury of emotions that were stirring inside of him.

Emilia was so caught up that she didn't notice people taking photo's of hers and Alex's private moment. When Alex pulled away he rested his forehead against Emilia's with a smile on his face.

"I love you Emilia." Alex kissed her forehead with a lopsided smile on his face.

"I love you too Alex."

When Alex got home with Aiden that afternoon Alex smiled when he saw Emilia's car sitting at the front of his house. Alex walked in with Aiden who started screaming when he saw Emilia.

"Mommy, you cam back." Aiden jumped into Emilia's arms and she was lucky she just put down the bowel of pasta.

'Of course I came back." Emilia felt herself tear up at Aiden's next words.
