ROXANNE REGRET

Alex thought at that moment, 'If she get her hands on all those items. She might wish it all away in a jiffy.'

"Look Roxanne these things, was very precious to my mom. I cannot entrust anyone with her belonging, they are her sweat and blood.

That is one of the reasons I never invited anyone into my home. She only trusted one person besides myself with the things she loves."

It was then Alex had a fresh revelation that almost knock him of his feet. Alex realized at that moment that his mom had loved him so much.

And Diandra, was the choice she made for his life. 'Oh God, I can't believe it took me so long to realize that the choice mom made for me was for my own good.

How could I be so stupid thinking that my friends and every pretty face that dazzled my eyes was seeking my interest.'

Hurriedly Alex open his wallet, placing some bills in her hand. "Roxanne, I am sorry but I must thank you. Today my eyes are open to see what my mom really wanted for me.

My word of advice to you is; change your friends because the ones you call your friends are foes.

They say they care but they don't, so go and take a course and train yourself to make an honest day's work; And I wish you all the best in life.

I brought you here for a nightcap but never mind that. Now you and I know exactly where we stand.

You can get on with your life from now on I won't be calling you anymore."

Roxanne looks at him, so angrily, thinking, 'He used me and now he is discarding me. I will make him pay for this, let him wait and see.'

Alex notice the rage in her eyes as she blink away the tears.

Hearing her whisper. "I can't believe after six months it is over Alex?" Roxanne cried.

"As I said I made a promise to my mom and I cannot break it "

"Are there still nobleish people Alex?"

"I am sorry Roxanne; please believe me when I say. I had no intention of hurting you. All I ever wanted was a friend to talk to."

"Will you stop saying you sorry for God sake, it is not helping me?"

Watching the way she brush the tears away when she said, "Why the hell you never told me that before. I would never had wasted my time."

"As I said before Roxanne, I never thought you was the marrying type. The truth is, it never cross my mind to discuss that topic with you or anyone else?"

When Alex heard the taxi horn, he holds her hand leading her out of the front door. "From now on you will not have any misconception about our friendship.

You know what I believe and I will try to get my priorities right, I promise you. Once again I am really sorry for all the misunderstanding and the inconvenience I cause you."

Opening the taxi door Alex stood aside for her to get in. Watching as she sits down then closes the door.

Roxanne, send down the glass and look at Alex, thinking, 'All she could have done was say goodbye.

Alex looks at her, 'I knew she was disappointed in me, but this is a lesson I will never forget. As the taxi drives away Alex wave.

Locking the gate he enters inside angry with himself for making such a blunder wanting to prove a point.

****

Closing her eyes Roxanne thought, to herself , 'I can't believe this is happening. After all my planning and sacrifices I made. Hoping every day, and praying he would ask me to marry him.

How could I be so stupid and not do a deep background check on him. And how is it no one wasn't aware that he was a married man?

Not once did he mention it or indicated to anyone that he was married. He had given everyone the impression that he was a bachelor and a free agent. He never even show any sign of being married.'

Taking out the cash he had given her. Angry for allowing him to treat her as though she was trash.

'Oh God, he was so subtle dismissing me as though I am some sort of garbage. If I only knew which one of those fools disclose my plans to him, exposing me.

I would strangle them but I must accept failure and defeat. I must also reconstruct a new plans and be more focus how to win a millionaire heart.'

Disappointment seeps from deep within. 'Who would have thought this would happen to me. Now it is water under the bridge, but I must broaden my horizon, and make some changes.

He was right, I must change my friends and address. It is time for me to maneuver and strategize new plans to outwit others instead of being outwitted.

I had taken Alex for granted never expecting this blow. All this happen because I was being so naïve.'

Wiping the tears away taking courage that all wasn't wasted as she counts the money. Thinking to herself, 'Not bad, not bad at all for one night work. At lease I will clear some of my debt.

I will miss him for his generous gifts, but I must seek out a companion to aid with the remaining financial debts.

Maybe if I join the A. A meeting or those groups where families have lost their loved ones.

I will fit in quite nicely and I am sure to find someone there that will be a good companion.

I must get my perspective right though, and I must set some new goals and new ambitions.

I am sure some lonely bachelor might need good companionship I am certain of it so all is not lost yet.

If only I did shut my big mouth about the old witch house, and keep my itching fingers to my side. Things might be different but better now than later.

This must be God's punishment to me. Or may be He have something better in store for me."

Hearing the taxi driver ask, "Where do you want to drop of, ma'am?"

"In the town thank you."
