A Race Of Love and Hate

Chapter 21 - The Gala

It took a minute for me to process that I told him everything.  I asked everyone to keep a secret that I'm divorced from hendry. I tried to move away from him when I realised why I kept it a secret.

Of course I couldn't move. Hendry is known to be possessive. Now that he knew I'm divorced I know he would want us to be together again. I made my resolve and said

" What are you doing Hendry. Just because I'm divorced doesn't mean you have a right on me. I'm still my own person. Let me go. I know you have a family out there waiting for you. I know how it feels to be cheated on I will never do it to another women"

Instead of answering me. He suddenly started kissing me. All my resolve broke loose when I felt the familiar love coming alive. I never loved my husband . It had always been hendry but I didn't have a choice in marriage. Atleast that is what I thought.

HENDRY P.O.V :

Now I understood what Drew said about it's time for our deal. No one knew we were dating. She wanted to keep it a secret. I never questioned anything.

Six yrs ago Drew called me and said how he just knew about Liz and me. He promised he would make things right for me. He has been trying to set me up with women but no one compared to Liz. I thought today was one of those things.

But when I followed Liz here I saw him by a corner giving me thumbs up. I knew he finally understood Lisa is the only girl for me and it's his approval to date his sister.

I know by the way she is returning my kiss that she still loves me. I just need a few compromising to achieve what I want. I broke the kiss and said

" I didn't want to start a family without you in it Liz. What if we are forty years old. I love you and I know for a fact you love me too. What is stopping you babe. "

LISA P.O.V :

I looked into the eyes of the man I love and I know what is stopping me. However I can't tell him the reason and at the same time I don't want him to wait on me any longer.

The fact that he didn't marry anyone is enough proof  that his love for me isn't changed. I just settled with a simple

" I.. I.. I love you too Hendry but unlike you I have children.  They are in a important phase of life. They need me. I don't want us to jump into anything.

I want you to get to know them. You should understand we are a family. You need their approval. No matter how much I love you. My children comes first. They don't know anything about my past. It will be hard but I want to take baby steps"

My eyes are pleading with him to understand me. He smiled his captivating smile and kissed me saying

" I waited 20 years for you without assurance that I will have you. I think a few more years wouldn't hurt. Any children of yours will be mine too. I will love them as much as I love you"

I laughed at his excited face . Even though I was happy to have him back. There is that lingering fear in my heart about the unknown future. The weight of the truth buried in past hidden from others.

I know when secrets come to life I may even loose my children. The one thing I dread the most is my sons hating me for my poor choices .

I just hugged Hendry burying my face in his chest . I know there are so many obstacles ahead but with him by my side I will be strong.

(Now lets see where christina went)

TINA P.O.V :

I was happy to see Sam. It's been years since I last saw him. We skyped almost everyday.  He was my best friend and the only person who knows about my crush on Daniel.

I could see all the girls looking dazed at him. I giggled when I realised it won't last longer once they know his jokster side.He is also famous for his pranks. Once we were in a corner sam faced me with a serious face and asked

" Where is Allison Tina"

I understood what he was asking about since he doesn't know anything about what happened these last few months. I smiled at him and said

" Alex took Ally on a vacation sam."

I was cut off by his over dramatic shout 'What'

He was so shocked that I couldn't help but laugh at his face. To cut the suspense any longer I explained everything to him

" Alex and Ally are finally dating sam.  They look so cute together. They have been together for three months now. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before. They wanted to wait before going public. "

He was happy for them and he was hugging me.  Suddenly I was roughly pulled away from him by a furious Daniel.  He didn't even give me time to ask any questions. One minute I was hugging Sam the next minute Daniel was dragging me to God knows where.

I had no idea what was happening. I looked at Sam hoping he would hint me but all that idiot did was laugh and give a thumbs up. Since Daniel looked so angry I didn't dare to speak again.
