Two days later I was back home. Ian, my lawyer was at the hospital previously to assist me with the paperwork for them. Then when we got home, Regan his daughter was there waiting for us.
He asked previously, was it okay if Regan joined us. He said that she has been asking about me. We used to be really close in college, but after Collin, we just drifted apart.
"Nicolette, hey how are you holding up? I'm sorry I haven't visited you. I'm just not sure about where we stand, since Collin. I should've fought harder for you when he told me things about you. God, I'm so sorry, Nic." She hugged me, it felt so nice to have her back.
"I miss you, Regan, I miss us, I miss having friends. It's not your fault Reg, look can we just move past everything and move on?" I hugged her back and wiped my tears away. Happy tears, for having my friend back.
"Thank you, Ian, thank you for bringing her back into my life." I hugged
I couldn't sleep. I kept tossing and turning in my bed.Fuck! The bed! I need to change the bed.Before I knew it, all the memories came flooding, the betrayal, the hurt. I quickly got out of bed like it was on fire. Tears streaming down my face.Fuck it, woman! You're better than this. The fucker is dead!I kept on trying to hold my self up. Conversing with my self. But still couldn't do it. I needed someone. My hands were trembling. I reached for my phone, it slipped out of my grips a couple of times but I managed to call Brenton. Didn't know why I press his number. But I just wanted somebody to be here, not talking about it.He picked up, after a couple of rings."Nicolette? Are you okay?" His voice was heavy like he just woke up."Hey, Nicolette. Are you at the house?" He asked again since I hadn't answered his
I woke up, feeling the empty bed beside me. I stretched out my arms and legs, feeling the soreness between my legs.Oh my... it was definitely not a dream.Then I saw him seating on the other side of the room, with his sketchbook. Wearing nothing just his boxers. "Morning Brenton, what are you doing?" I smiled at him suddenly embarrassed, that I was still naked.I tried to find my clothes, but he threw me his shirt instead.Ok then...He came to me, giving me a cup of coffee. "Thank you." I grinned, sit myself up, and drank it."Finished your coffee. I want my breakfast after this." He said, and then threw his sketchbook, and got under the cover. His hands started to wander to my legs, slowly inching to my sex. I sipped my coffee, then set it aside to the bedside table."Need
"So, you want to check out the studio? I think you will like it. You can paint there also." He gently rubbed my arm."Why don't we start the day like normal people, and have breakfast first? Let's go, it's been a while since I prepare my own meal. You can sketch me cooking if you want?" I teased him."Anyway, I have a lunch date with Regan, we have so much to catch up. I think Collin said some hurtful things to her. About she's being gay, and he doesn't want me to stay friends with her. But I love her. She's part of my past. We used to be inseparable in college." I started to get up and wore his shirt again. He was looking amused at me now.I took my coffee and went to the kitchen, he followed behind me, after he put on his pants."Savory or sweet for the pancake?" I pulled out some flour and started mixing the batter. It had been a while, I missed doing this mundane stuff, around the house. It felt good t
I slipped off my flats, flopped my ass on the couch, and decided to text Brenton.Hey, I'm home now. Just got back. What are you doing?Hey, I'm not doing you for sure.Mmm... Yes, I miss you doing me.I'm still at a meeting with my agent, I thought you were still busy. I waited. But you didn't text.So you will come here afterward? You don't have to ask twice. Just wait for me okay.Will do. I'm gonna take a bath. Maybe I'll start doing myself without you? Damn, you shouldn't say things like that, I'm in a meeting.I know baby, that's why I'm enticing you. So you know exactly what I'm doing without you.I know, I'll regret this. But tell me, what are you doing to yourself?So you do want to know
I was reading a book, on my favorite nook in my dad's study. I used to sit hours here when I was little, waiting on him while he was working.Brenton left last night, said he was going to pick me up for breakfast this morning. Then we would go to his studio afterward. I sighed, as I had to go and get ready in a couple of minutes looking at the clock.I stepped out of my shower and decided to wear an ethnic dress, finished off with heels, and my oversized purse. He called and said that he was on the driveway already.Right on time."Morning Nicolette, beautiful as always." He got out of the car and opened the door for me. He buckled me in, teasing and touching me then gave me his kiss."Let's go Brenton, or we would end up upstairs if you don't drive." I giggled."As you wish beautiful. So, I was thinking we have breakfast first, then we go to my studio. You can lo
I honestly didn't know what this was. But I do know it was too damn fast for me. I was falling for him also. He knew it, though I didn't say anything back to him.We stayed in the studio the whole afternoon, ordered pizza for lunch, and had the leftover cake as our dessert. Then he left me alone for hours, reading on my new window ledge nook. While he sketched and painted me. I could see his movement as he painted.I rested my eyes and made some coffee, stopping by his side and gave him a hug. "Brenton, what time do you want to take me back?""Why don't you stay the night here?" He put his brush down, washed his hand, and joined me for coffee."But I didn't bring my stuff, I didn't wake up like this you know. I need my beauty products." I told him pouted."Let's just go to the mall. We do a quick shopping trip and a quick dash to the pharmacy also, need more condoms with our overzealous se
I was up already, headed up to the kitchen, and made us a coffee.What am I doing here? I felt like I was digging my own hole. I should've been left alone. I was falling already for Brenton. With Collin, it was a puppy love, that grew into marriage over the years. When it all fell apart, I ended up in a loony bin.God! I should've stayed away from him. I was not sure I could survive if we fell apart.I looked into his bedroom, and he was still sleeping with his backside up.Shit! I'm gonna miss him.I quickly changed, got my purse and my phone. I saw his sketchbook. And start writing my note.Dearest Brenton,Please forgive me. But I can't do this, it's too much for me. I fear for my life should anything happen to us. I will cherish the time we had together. I thank you for bein
Brenton's POVI looked at the painting, didn't know for how many hours already.I woke up this morning feeling ecstatic, having her in my life. Loving her. I've never even known, I could feel this way again. Not since Marcie, that voluptuous red-haired bitch.But this was much more than Marcie, I couldn't believe that I had fallen for her that fast. Since Marcie I had pledged myself, to never settle to one woman. That I would fuck whoever I wanted, and live happily ever after with my wealth until I was old enough to die.Nobody cared about me anymore, not since I killed my little sister, Gwyneth. God! I missed Gwen. I should've taken better care of her. She needed me, I knew she had been hurting. I should've pushed harder. Maybe she would still be alive. I should've seen the signs. She was never been that brave, she had been bullied because of her weight issues. Mum and da
