Chapter 23: A Rough Start

last update Last Updated: 2022-03-26 23:39:13

Knowing full well that I won’t get any sleep tonight, I still try.  However, after 3 hours of endless tossing and turning, I finally get back up and grab a cup of coffee.  Trying not to disturb Lisa in case she is home already, I tip toe to the kitchen and quietly make a pot of coffee. 

The aroma that wafted through the air stirs my sense of smell and fills me with a hunger for more than a drink or two.  So, while I wait for it to brew, I open the fridge to sift through the remnants of old pizza boxes and Chinese takeout.  I find a small box of teriyaki chicken and decide to inspect it closer.  “Hm.  Still smells good.” I mutter under my breath after I raise it to my nose and sniff it.

However, when I scoop out a bite and eat it, I grimace before spitting it out into the trash as I quickly rush over to it.  “How horrible.” I think to myself because the chicken no longer tasted good.  Then, just

    “Why were you late Kaitlyn?” Mr. Sandhill asks with a wary look on his face and then looks up from me when Sebastian enters, and the door slams shut behind me.“That’s my fault. Sorry.” He states quickly and then sighs.He walks past me and then Mr. Sandhill turns and rushes to catch up with him. As I watch the two of them walk into Mr. Sandhill’s office, I wonder what they will be talking about today? Does it really matter?Taking in a deep breath, I walk to my desk and then see Lisa staring at me. She whispers, “What was that about? I noticed you didn’t come in right away.”Shaking my head, I remark softly, “He asked me to leave with him for good. I told him no and I don’t think he appreciated it.”Lisa’s eyes upon hearing that, grow wider than saucers and then she jumps out of her seat to stand next to me. “You did

    “What are you so happy about?” Lisa stares at me and then laughs while putting away her purse under her desk.“Um. I guess I am going back with him tonight. I need to clear out my stuff before we leave.” I say when I look up at her and then the clock.Realizing that I only have a few hours before we must be at the airport, I quickly throw my things in a grocery bag and then stop for a breath. Walking over to Lisa, I hesitate to hug her, because this whole time I was packing up my stuff, she has been protesting me leaving.“Are you sure you are doing the right thing?” She asks with a wary eye trained on me as I approach her.I start to laugh and then say, “No, I am not sure of anything. But what is the worst that can happen? He is rich and claims that he loves me.”Staring at me with one eyebrow raised in a questioning look, she says, “That is preci

  • A Day To Remember   Chapter 26: It Is What It Is

    Waking up in Sebastian’s arms, I scan the room and find what I was looking for. Last night, after stripping off my clothes for bed, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Unfortunately, before I did, I had dropped my purse on the floor with my phone in it. Now, I must try and slip out from under his arms, so I can get to it.Struggling with his big, strong arms, I finally get him to release me before climbing out of bed. When I perch on the edge of the bed, I notice something else odd. There is a package sitting on the nightstand next to me and it has my name on it.Reaching for it, I feel the weight and then slip the ribbon off the box. It falls to the floor as I open it and look inside. What I see shocks me, because perched on a silk pillow, is a gold chain attached to a petite star shaped diamond necklace. It looks antique and is absolutely the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life by far.&nb

    Feeling sore and still tired, I want to lounge today, but Sebastian has other plans in store for us. “Baby, I called the stable and they are going to make sure the girls are ready to go for us. I figured today is as good a day as any to go riding up into the hills. I think you will love it.” He stops and looks at me oddly and then continues, “I never stopped to ask if you have ever ridden a horse before. So, have you?” He cocks his head in anticipation of my answer.I frown and then say quietly, “No, I haven’t. But when I was little, my mom always talked about taking me horse riding. Apparently, when she was a kid that was a thing.” I start to laugh when I realize just how strange that sounds and then watch him smirk before running his fingers through his hair.“Oh boy. Today will indeed be an interesting day then. I am not a good teacher, so you will have to bear with me.&n

    “So, tell me. Are you hiding a present in your pocket for me or are you just happy to see me?” I say sarcastically while pointing down at his pants.He had just walked in the door and the first thing he did was give me the most passionate kiss I had ever felt in my life. He bent me over backwards and kissed me so hard that it took my breath away. When I came back up, I gasped for air and wondered what I did to deserve such a wonderful kiss like that.A Cheshire Cat smile spreads across his face and then he says, “Did you miss me as much as I missed you?”I hesitate, because I need him to sweat it a little before I smirk and say, “Yes. Of course, I did. But I missed him more.” I point down to his hard shaft and then lick my lips.Refusing to let him know that I need him more than he needs me, I play it up as a joke and then pull him to me. Looking him in the eyes seriously, I sta

    “I still can’t believe Mr. Sandhill let her have 2 weeks off so she could come visit. How did you persuade him to let her?” I turn to him and ask while doing my hair.“Hm. Oh, yeah. That was easy. Did you forget I am the owner of the company now? I just simply told him that if he didn’t, he would be out of a job. Sometimes I love throwing around my power.” He says while wagging his eyebrows at me.I laugh and then he raises his hands and flexes his muscles, like a muscle builder. When he does, I ooh and aah, until he smiles and winks at me. It’s just so amazing that I have been back here for three weeks now, and it seems like we have been together forever. I even work at Rosalee’s place on Thursdays and Fridays, to help her out. Of course, I take the money she gives me, and I put it aside, just in case Sebastian and I ever break up and I am forced to

I am just glad that we can wear the same size dresses. She didn’t bring anything appropriate for a club with her and I didn’t think to tell her to bring anything either. My bad, I knew that I should have told her that we would probably go at some point in time.When Lisa walks out of the closet, Sebastian and I glance at each other in shock.

    “What are you doing baby?” He asks as I set up the monitors, and then glance up at him.“I need to have everything just right before she comes. After all, it isn’t every day you have your first one.” I swallow hard and hesitate before admitting, “I am worried that I will be a bad mom.” As I say it softly and refuse to look up at him.He reaches for my chin and cups it with his finger and thumb as he forces me to stare up into his eyes. “Baby, you could never be a bad mom. You are such a good person and who else would have prepared so well for their first born. I mean look around this room. She will have anything and everything she ever needs at her beck and call.” He says before leaning down and kissing me softly on my lips.As he raises his head, he says to me, “I love you and no matter what, she will too.” He touches the tip of my nose with his index finger as he sa

    Hearing the music of my favorite song, I glance over to Sebastian who takes my hand and then we begin to dance. The moment everyone sees us, they walk off the floor and watch us in admiration. The two of us circle around, like we have been dancing together for years hand in hand. Matter of fact, the way we dance reminds me of two well oiled gears that fit perfectly in place and always move in time. If one gets gummed up or the timing is off, the whole machine stops working.I learned this a long time ago when my mom used to work at a clock shop. One day when I was very young, she had me into the shop. As she did her job, she taught me a think or two about gears and how they had to be well lubricated to function well.“Baby, you seem in a far-off place.” He says to me and brings me back to the present.“Oh, nothing. I was just remembering my mom when I was little, used to take me to the shop with h

    It’s Wednesday morning and the sun is shining bright outside the kitchen window. As we eat breakfast, I find myself smiling just as brightly when Sebastian turns to kiss me sweetly on the lips. “Baby, I know I can’t see you right before the wedding, but you look beautiful anyways. I bet that you will look like an angel when you walk down the aisle this afternoon.” He says to me, right before my phone rings.I look down and see that it’s Sebastian’s idiot guy friend Ron and he is calling yet again. Handing the phone to Sebastian, I put away the leftovers and throw the dirty dishes into the sink to rinse for a while until the housekeeper gets there.“Hey Ron, is everything ready to go? Did you pay the minister and make sure everything is good?” He pauses to listen to Ron’s answer and then he is silent for a minute.He turns to look at me and make sure I am not listening befor

    Disguising my trip to the doctors as a girl’s day out with Lisa and Skye, I head out to my first appointment in hopes of finding out if I am pregnant or not. Of course, Sebastian doesn’t question me one way or the other, he just rolls his eyes and goes back to reading in his den when I tell him about my plans. “By the way, I already have plans for today.”“Alright. I will be sitting here reading when you return.” He hesitates and then says softer now, “By the way, don’t forget to pick up some mints in case you start to get queasy again. My mom used to swear by them whenever I had a stomachache.”Smiling, I head on out and drive to the doctor’s office. As it turns out, it is on the far end of town. That I didn’t know until I was almost late.Rushing into the office, I was quickly seated in a room and then the doctor walks in. “Hello.” She

    “Lisa. Can you come here?” I ask quickly because I need help holding up four boxes that are about to topple.When I went into the closet to get my dress shoes, I may have bit off more than I can chew before grabbing the stool. What I should have done was to get Sebastian’s help, but that would have been admitting that I can’t do it myself. I am too stubborn for that, and it will be the death of me.She rushes over and puts her hand up, just as the boxes start to topple to the floor. Not realizing it, I fall into her, and we both end up on our butts. Laughing, Sebastian finds us lying there and then comments, “If I knew that you were into girls, I would have offered to watch earlier.” Then he smiles and laughs whole heartedly before picking me up and offering a hand to Lisa.“What have the two of you been doing?” He asks with a questioning look on his face.Looking me

    “Don’t touch!” He yells at me and then swats my hand away when I try to cheat and see what’s in the package.“You just can’t leave it alone, can you?” I watch him hide the box behind his back while grinning in my face intentionally.“Come on. You left it set there all day. Now that I want to open it, you are trying to hide it from me?” I can’t help but to play along, especially when he is being so cute.That man of mine left me a present sitting on top of the counter all morning. When I went to go over and inspect it further, he swats me. He swats me of all things. “Can you imagine that?” I murmur under my breath when as I roll my eyes.“Hm?” He asks with his brows furrowed and his hands now behind his back.He is holding the one thing that I want more than anything right now. “Ugh. You are impossible!&rdqu

    After getting through the rest of the night without scandal, I call Rosalee first thing after breakfast so Lisa can meet her. This being her only day off, I figured we could take them all out to lunch. “So, would you like to come to lunch with us?” I ask because this is one of the best ways to break the ice.“Sure, but my niece is staying with me for a few days. Do you mind if she comes too?” She asks cheerfully, so I look between Lisa and Sebastian, incase they had a problem with it.They both shrug and shake their head, and then I answer, “That sounds good to me. I can always use a new friend or two or three.” Before I hear her talking to someone in the room with her.Smiling now, I ask, “Can we meet up at the Lilly in, say an hour?” I hesitate while I look down at my watch.“No problem, we will be there. Thanks, by the way. It will make Skye’s day.&rdq
