Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 74 - Seven Billion Smiles In This City And Only Hers Pours Life Into Him

Aprils day flew in, she was busy arranging all the work that she had missed in the last week and before she knew it, it was home time. That was when she looked down and saw that her phone had been inundated with messages from Dean.

(Hope you are having an amazing day babe xx)

(Don't forget to relax and of course think of me often xx)

(Your working and not looking after yourself, wait till I get you home later xx)

(Your hubby is outside xxx)

April bit her lip and knew she was in trouble, she hadn't replied all day and he had asked her to text him this morning and she had been so caught up on work she had forgotten to check her phone. She was completely new to all this as James had not given her his phone number never mind asked her to text him. April packed up and rushed out.

"Why are you rushing?" Asked Aarna.

"My boyfriend is outside and I forgot to text him all day," April replied as she hit the lift button and entered.

Aarna laughed, "You have a boyfriend and didn't tell me? There I am spilling my heart out to you."

April smiled, "Sorry, it all happened last week when I was recovering."

"Ohh, is he a hot doctor? You get all the luck" Aarna pouted.

April laughed she didn't dare say her boyfriend was Dean Adler the Cities most eligible bachelor. She may not get out of the lift alive.

They both exited the lift and April rushed out of the lobby of Walker Interiors.

Bang

"I am so sorry." She had walked right into a human wall, looking up she saw James and she frowned and started to walk around him.

"Wait!" James called out. He had called into her work earlier but her Manager had said she was still off and he ended up having a meeting with her instead and although Emily was pretty he had his sights now set on April.

"Can we not get to know each other over drinks or dinner? What do you say? We can have some fun together." James stood in front of April sure that with his looks and their childhood history together he more or less had her.

April crinkled her nose, "I am not like the others. That is where you made your first mistake."

She has the intuition of an angel and fire like a dragon Dean thought as he watched her demeanour total flip like a switch when she saw James. Dean smirked in the car completely satisfied and proud of his feisty kitten.

"Come now didn't you used to love me and chase after me when we were children", James stood tall not fazed by Aprils change.

April smiled and laughed, "There are all types of love in this world but never the same love twice and sometimes giving a person a second chance is like reloading a gun because they missed the first time." She then walked around the pest in front of her.

"Wait… hold up a minute you can't pass this opportunity up, I may not ask again," James announced.

"I am worth more than you bothered to spend on me emotionally, spiritually, romantically. Or maybe you just didn't have it in you, too shallow to go a little deeper. Too selfish to invest a little more of your heart. Maybe you couldn't handle me, even though I am really quite easy to please, as long as I know I am loved, appreciated and wanted. I am worth more than you cared to invest. I am tired of trying. I am worth more than that. I have someone now who loves all of me, flaws and all, he is honest with ne and gives me the moon when I feel lost, he gives me the stars when I need guidance." April then noticed Deans car parked and she ran towards it and got inside the passenger side.

Dean beamed and although he didn't hear their conversation he was proud of her. A good woman loves hard; she doesn't know any other way to love. So when she is emotional, it's not because she is holding back… it is because she is giving it everything she has got. He had a feeling she had finally let go of her past and was now embracing a future with him.

"Hey, sorry I didn't message back," April said apologetically.

"It's okay, let's go home." Dean then reached over and buckled her in safely.

"That's it?" April was used to the fight, used to being judged. Sometimes the relationship you have after being in a toxic relationship is the hardest because you are not used to being loved and cared for.

Dean knew she needed a pep talk and reassurance and he would happily do it a million times if it eased her heart, "Look I know that it is going to be difficult but what matters is what I am willing to do for a future with you. What we are willing to do. This is what sets us apart from whether or not we achieve our goals or not. Do you want to know why I won't quit? Because I appreciate more than just your good moments that we have had. I learned that you have to accept the sh*tty moments too. When you do that, that is when you realise what's most important. What is worth struggling and fighting for."

"Thanks let's go home then," she smiled but saw that Dean didn't drive yet. She then realised he needed her to reassure him, "I am okay, if you don't let the past die, then it won't let you live."

Dean nodded and took her hand in his as he drove them home.

She looked out of the window and daydreamed of her past life. No matter who would have shone the light on James, no matter what they had tried to say to her. No matter where they showed her to the right path, she had to see it for herself. She had to see the light for herself, she had to take the steps now onto a new path and forge her way forward. Her life was now what she dreamed and envisaged.

She glanced out of the window and spoke as Dean continued to drive, "You know I lost many years in a cage like a chained soul, I had a tied tongue to match. I learnt that the more I spoke the more they didn't care for my words so I stopped speaking. Now freedom flows like a liquid in my veins and I soar honestly met with love or hate I will not hold back. I will not go back to that prison."

"So what do you want to do now?" Dean held her hand and kissed it. Happy she was opening up and sharing with him.

"I have a problem", She looked up at him wondering if he could help or find her crazy.

"How can I help?" He asked with a hint of affection

"You may think I am crazy but my father takes these tablets and they were given to him by my stepmother… I want to check them." April replied.

"No problem, let's go to the hospital. I have a friend that can help us with that." Dean took the next exit and headed for the hospital knowing she would be keen to head there first.

"Really? Just like that?" she asked with a huge smile on her face.

Dean glanced at her face. There are seven billion smiles in this city and only her pours life into him.
