Martin stopped the car in front of Julie's cafe and they both got out of the car. 

Alexi looked around and found Paparazzi. She sighed and looked at Martin who is walked towards her.

"What happened?" Martin asked and Alexi shook her head in No.

"Nothing." Alexi answered.

"Let's go inside then." Martin said and Alexi nodded.

They both walked inside and the Manager walked towards him.

"Mr. Davis and Ms. Julie are upstairs waiting for you, Ms. Julie." The manager said. 

"The waiter will lead you the way." The manager said and Alexi nodded.

The waiter took Alexi and Martin to upstairs. 

"Sam." Alexi said as Alexi saw Samantha and Johnson were talking with each other.

Samantha turned her face and looked at Alexi.

"Lexi, Martin... " Samantha said as she got up from the chair.

"How are you, Martin?" Samantha asked with a smile.

"Good, SIL. How you been?" Martin asked.

"Good." Samantha replied as they both gave a hug to each other.

"How are you, Alexi?" Johnson asked as they both hugged each other.

"Good, Johnson. How about you?" Alexi asked with a smile.

"Good." Johnson replied with a smile.

"Come... Let's sit down and talk." Samantha said and they all nodded. They all sat down on their chairs and started looking at the menu.

Johnson and Samantha saw Alexi mood off as she looked annoyedly.

Johnson raised his eyebrows at Martin and Samantha looked at Martin. 

Martin shrugged his shoulders and shook his head No. As he doesn't know anything that actually going on in Alexi's mind. 

"Orders please." The waiter asked politely and they all gave their orders.

"Excuse me... I need to use Restroom." Johnson said as he got up from the couch and signaled Martin to follow him. 

Martin sighed and got up from the couch.

"Excuse me too... I need to use the restroom too." Martin said and Samantha, Alexi nodded. Martin and Johnson walked out from there to the restroom while Samantha got up from the couch. She walked around the table and sat beside Alexi.

"What happened, Alexi?" Samantha asked and Alexi looked at her.

"Nothing, Sam... " Alexi answered.

"Come on, Lexi. I know you so well... You will be annoyed when something bothering you. Until then, you will not! So, tell me... What happened?" Samantha asked making Alexi sigh.

"What do you think of me and Martin, Sam?" Alexi asked making Samantha frown.

"You are Martin?" Samantha asked. 

"Yes... What do you think about us? I mean, you think, are we good to each other?" Alexi asked.

"Is this bothering you?" Samantha asked and Alexi nodded making Samantha chuckle.

"Sam, I am serious." Alexi said and Samantha nodded.

"Yeah... I know." Samantha replied making Alexi frown.

"Okay... So, tell me... What do you think?" Alexi asked making Samantha sigh and she turned around to Alexi.

"First tell me... What do you think about me and Johnson?" Samantha asked making Alexi frown deeply.

"Sam... I asked about us." Alexi said.

"I will answer you. First, answer my question?" Samantha asked and Alexi sighed.

"Well... Johnson is a good guy and understands you." Alexi answered.

"And?" Samantha asked.

"Trusted you and believed you." Alexi answered and Samantha smiled. 

"And?" Samantha asked.

"And?" Alexi asked making Samantha smiled.

"Johnson always tell me I love you but do you know how he proved that he loves me?' Samantha asked making Alexi frown.

"It doesn't mean anything how many times you say I love you to a person but until you prove it to him... You need to prove him that you love him by giving him small happiness like giving him your time, by caring about him, Knowing about what he likes and what he doesn't. You need make him your priority. Because... Words are nothing when your actions are different towards him." Samantha said with a small smile. 

"And yes... Tell me, if he doesn't trust and believe in me... Would he be here with me today?" Samantha asked Alexi making her frown and confuse.

"Of course, He will not!" Alexi answered. 

"True... He will not. Even if I tell him the truth about my past... He would have left me there itself to let me suffer myself." Samantha said. 

"But he didn't." Samantha said to Alexi with a bright smile. 

"He trusted me and loved me as I am!" Samantha said making Alexi smile.

"I don't know what will happen if he didn't accept me as I am." Samantha said with a chuckle. 

"Maybe... This wedding would have been canceled." Samantha said with a sad smile.

"Sis..." Alexi said as she kept her hand on Samantha's hand.

"Maybe just like that... He would have gone away from me..." Samantha said.

"But you know what... He even didn't ask me why I didn't tell him about my Pregnancy complications... Even though he knows it." Samantha said with a smile.

"He knows already?" Alexi asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yes... He knows. He got to know that from Uncle Damon and Aunt Lucy." Samantha answered.

"Then, he didn't ask you about it at all?" Alexi asked.

"No... He didn't... At all." Samantha answered.

"Why?" Alexi asked amd Samantha shrugged.

"I don't know... He answered... He just loves me more than anything and he doesn't want me to let go away from him." Samantha answered.

"He really loves you, Sam." Alexi said making Samantha smile brightly. 

"Yes... I didn't expect him to accept this because I thought, he needs an heir but I became selfish and just wanted his love to only me." Samantha replied and Alexi can clearly see the possessive in her eyes towards Johnson. 

"Well... I should have told him about this but he still waited because he believes me that I will tell him about this one day." Samantha said making Alexi nod her head.

"And I did." Samantha said and Alexi smiled.

"That was killing inside me whenever he touched me... I felt like... I was cheating on him without telling him anything about this." Samantha said and Alexi looked at her.

"I felt guilty and something inside me like fore raised whenever he came near me to touch me." Samantha said as tears roll in her eyes.

"But at last, he made me say it... He always used to say that... Trust him and say him everything." Samantha said and Alexi nodded with a smile seeing how lucky Samantha is as she got Johnson as a fiance.

"Well... After telling him... I felt relief but at that time, when he said that I know about this. I was so shocked like... How did he get to know about this?" Samantha asked.

"I was hell scared but again Johnson didn't point his finger at me. He didn't even judge my character. At all. He always is so proud of me and I guess, he will always be." Samantha said with a bright smile.

"He will. He will be always proud of you!" Alexi replied and Samantha nodded her head with a smile.

"I didn't tell him about Anna too. But he... Gave me the biggest surprise of my life when he said, we are going to adopt Anna." Samantha said making Alexi smile.

"Well... I am happy to find a guy like Johnson who understands me so well." Samantha said with a bright smile.

"I am so happy for you. I am sure, you guys going to be a happy couple." Alexi said as she hugged Samantha with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Lexi." Samantha replied as they both released from the hug.

"What do you think about all this now?" Samantha asked with a smile.

"Well... Honestly... I got to know, Trust, believe, caring and all is important in a relationship." Alexi answered and Samantha nodded her head with a smile.

"And Martin has that trust and believe in you. He cares for you. You are his priority in his life and your relationship." Samantha said making Alexi look at her raising her eyebrows.

"Look, Alexi..." Samantha said as she turned to Alexi.

"Martin trust you and believes you but tell me do you trust him and believe him?" Samantha asked making Alexi raise her eyebrows.

"You think, I don't trust and believe him?" Alexi asked Samantha.

"No... I mean... You think you can trust him and can believe in him, right?" Samantha asked Alexi.

"I do. I do trust him and believe in him, Sam." Alexi answered and Samantha smiled brightly.

"Then, why are you hesitating to take a step forward in your relationship?" Samantha asked.

"You think, it's easy?" Alexi asked.

"Of course, it not. Look me at me... You know what I went through and how I came out of the past?" Samantha asked and Alexi nodded.

"I know... But I am just scared." Alexi said.

"Scared of what?" Samantha asked Alexi and she sighed.

"Scared off I might not suitable for him! Scared of losing him. If I love him then I can't afford to lose him in my life and you know very well... Why I am scared to love him!" Alexi said to Samantha.

"I know... I know, why you are scared to love him!" Samantha said as she hugged Alexi tightly and a tear falls from Alexi's eyes.
