SweetGina103Hi Hi, I've been busy working on the final parts of Katy & Ian's story. I would have liked to have communicated but GN doesn't have a feature where I can make a post without making it a review or another comment, or a not at the end of a chapter. I'm considering setting up a social media account where I can drop updates on current and future books, especially updating schedules. Let me know what you the readers think, as always, I endeavor to make this a smoother and more fun experience for everyone. xoxo, S.N

“I imagine Mr. Baker Hill didn’t take it too well after the announcement” I chew on the edge of my plastic fork staring at the group sitting in front of me, a guy tossed a small basketball, and another guy, a fellow teammate I imagine, caught it easily with a smirk. “I've heard no complaints” a deep baritone rasped into my ear and my lower lip curled into a small smile. There'd been another meeting at Morgan Construction this morning and I was happy to be absent It seemed to have been less eventful than the last, and the board came to an agreement. “It was a fair vote after all” Ian mumbled almost distractedly.I snorted. “And I imagined several people wanted to be on the safe side in other words, with the boss”“I have no idea what you're talking about” he returned and I could hear the amusment in his voice.“Tell me, would you have let it if the vote went in Hill’s favor?”“It didn’t”I tucked my hair behind my ear and adjusted my wireless device in my left ear, “But…?”“I don’t

It is pretty sunny the next afternoon and I'm not the only one excited as I place another chair a few feet from the first then another and another. In front of me some men are hammering and putting together what I assume is a stage, right now it just looks like a bunch of woods and planks, Elise is waving her hands left and right directing the men as they work. Some other staff were arranging chairs like me, a few carrying flower vases to the middle of the tables covered with white clothes. On the far side, Ray is setting up the last of the tables, he turns it to the top, a tall girl with shoulder-length blond hair assisting, Jesse, his girlfriend, I’d met her over an hour ago when they arrived together, Ray doing a speedy introduction and went over the plans for today, it had been a little weird, okay, a lot weird, I managed to hold on to my smile and was so glad when Elise called us to get started with the tables, as I arranged the chairs, I looked up every few minutes to find he

“No, I didn’t” I deflated still watching the little boy as he stuffed cookies into his pockets.I feel him step closer to me. “I meant the other thing”Oh, that. “It was nothing” I mumbled, smoothing a hand down my skirt.It had been a delicate situation. Children were delicate. It was just the way I would have wanted someone, anyone to speak to me when I was that age.I'm here for you Katy. Let's be friends Katy.A hand drops to the small of my back turning me to face, his gaze meets mine, calm, holding a hint of amusement and a little… imploring? My gaze dropped to the undone button at the collar of his white shirt, and my eyes followed the row of buttons down his chest, though he'd been wearing it all day, it managed to look crisp, only a hint of wrinkle could be seen where his sleeves have been perfectly folded. The shirt is tucked neatly into navy blue suit pants. He looked handsome. Then again he always looked handsome. He seemed content to just stare at me, I clasped my h

News? Wait, did she just say mother? My eyes widen jumping between the couple. Parents?Any chance I misheared her?They were his parents?I realized why those eyes were so familiar, now narrowed in annoyance, I realized I saw a replica of those same green eyes I see whenever I close my eyes.“We speak weekly. Do you think you could have informed your mom of your upcoming nuptials during that time? I didn’t even know you were seeing someone, did you know he was seeing someone?” She asked the man beside her, her husband, Ian's dad shook his head a displeased frown on his face.“It was a last-minute decision really, the situation called for a hasty ceremony, there was no time to send word via carrier pigeon to Al-Hehaya, apologies” by his tone, he wasn't even a little apologetic.Al-what? Where’s that?His hand moved over my shoulder and tucked me closer to his side. “It's a remote village in Egypt”I hadn't realized I'd spoken aloud, I'm still in shock.Egypt, they were in Egypt all t

Not long after we said goodnight to the Bensons, Elise was nowhere to be seen, Naomi waved me away when I mentioned the meeting. “You’ve done enough dear, go be with your husband,” she says with a pat on my shoulder. We send off May and Lawrence in the parking lot after inputting my number into May’s phone, promising to have lunch the following day. “You can think of me as a friend Katy,” she said with one last hug. “I’d like that May” I couldn’t help my smile, she was a really sweet lady.“I want to know everything!” she exclaimed getting into the backseat of the Bently alongside her husband. I wave after them, Mr. Allen driving before heading our way. It was a little strange to see Ian driving Bumper but he refused to let me drive. Shaking his head the moment I got the keys from my bag, he led me away from the driver's seat. “Are you doubting my driving skills?” His response? “When I’m with you, I drive” I poked my tongue at him and he smacked my ass in return.I slipped of

“Why are you wearing that?” He’d stepped out of the bathroom and paused, a frown on his lips, the cool scent of his aftershave hovering around him.I looked down at my outfit. “Why? Don’t like it?” I asked pulling my jacket over a blue maxi dress, a pair of Air Jordans at my feet. I looked modest and decent.The scowl on his lips was all the answer I needed and I nodded, good, I wasn’t dressing up for him today. It was the exact opposite actually. “Shall I help you in picking out something today? All you have to do is ask” he murmured teasingly. My eyes dropped and heat swept through me at the state of the bed, I’m reminded of last night, he didn’t let up for hours, making me come as many times as my body could. In a way I didn’t think possible, so much so we slept in this morning.If he was concerned about missing any meetings, he didn’t show. I’d only gotten up when I got a call came in, it was Hannah to confirm the time for our study session today. It was then I'd seen a text in

I coughed a little. She was so far off but I didn’t have the heart to correct her. Besides we might have started as an arrangement but things were very different now. “You think?” I couldn’t help my grin.She nodded. “Definitely, you’re such a beautiful girl, Ian always had an eye for pretty things, explains why he tied the knot so quickly”She was so easy to talk to, she didn’t act older like most adults, and she just spoke to me like a person, a friend. I mentally went through what I could remember of that day, which was every last detail as I thought of it often. And I concluded that it must have been an accident, he wasn’t surprised to see me at the courthouse the next day, makes me think he differently doesn’t remember the mall. “I’m sorry about that, that you missed the wedding, I didn’t know-““Never mind that its in the past now, he sent me photos of your beautiful day and I’ll have to be satisfied with that”Pictures? I didn’t remember any pictures from that day then again

Pain spreads across my face and underneath my eyes where she slapped me. I cradle my cheek with my palm shooting her the hardest devilish glare I could muster, my other hand curled into a fist at my side.Eunice leaned into me, pointing a sharp nail in my face “Your mother was a rat poor two-faced slut who stole her best friend’s boyfriend”“Liar” I shoved her out of my face. “Don’t touch my mother Katy, I’m fucking warning you” Monica yelled attacking me from the side. “Then tell her to stop fucking lying!” I pushed them away from me seething “You’re a liar, all you do is lie. And I know you’re lying because my mother would never be friends with someone shallow and devious like you!” I spat. It was her turn to laugh. “You don’t know anything you dumb bitch, David was mine first, I brought that-that” she shook her head. “They only came clean after I caught her fucking my boyfriend two months after I’d introduced them at a house party, said it was a mistake and they were in love, d
