Throughout dinner, Michael and I had a lovely conversation while eating after the waitress had given us our orders. We shared everything that we could think of. I have to say that my professor is brilliant. He has a great sense of humor too; I would have to admit. Our conversation kept going, and we just enjoyed each other’s company. That was until the waitress came over and told me that they were closing in ten minutes. Michael said, can I have the check, please? Becky, that is the waitress's name, which I saw on her name tag. Alright, I will be right back with it. We continued our conversation until she came back. Becky came back with the check and paid as we were leaving. When he was walking me to my car. I kept imagining what it would be like just to have his lips on mine. What would it feel like to have his hands caressing my body? Shaking my head, Maddison, stop fantasizing he is your professor. It was just dinner, and it is not as if he is into you. Maddison, Madison I hear
The next morning, I woke up with my professor next to me in bed. What happened last night? I said to myself as I looked at him. You know if you keep staring at me. It is only going to make me think that you want to continue from where we left off last night. You're up, I thought that you were sleeping. Just how long have you been up? Oh, I didn't go to sleep for very long. I was just watching you sleep so peacefully. You're so beautiful when you sleep. You were watching me sleep that is not it one bit. Anyways, would you like some coffee before we both have to leave? Yes, I would love some coffee, thank you. Alright, I will go and put it on. In the meantime, I have to get ready for work. If you don’t know mind I want to get dressed in my room. Is there another bathroom in your apartment for me to take a shower myself? Yes, it is down the hallway on your left, towels are in the hall closet. There is an extra body wash in the bathroom as well. Sorry, but it is the scented kind of one
I thought about having a little fun after my date. Of course, after the lunch I had with my ex-husband, I decided to cancel. Gabriel had ruined it for me. Nope, certainly was not ready to see the man that I was talking to online tonight. I decided to just go to bed and try to get some rest after everything Gabriel had told me. Monday came, and I got out of bed early to make some breakfast and get ready for work. At least this time I got up in enough time to make some. Then I decided to also make my lunch to bring to work. After having that Chinese food on Friday, it seems as if my stomach disagreed with it this past weekend. I had to drink some tea and eat some crackers just to settle my stomach. Once, I rested in bed for the whole weekend. Now de today I am good to go to work since I called off when I was supposed to be working. Otherwise, I probably would have been running to the bathroom every fifteen minutes while working over the weekend. I made it to work with fifteen minutes
When I arrived home after work, I heated my lunch in the microwave so that I didn’t get a chance to eat. Once my food was done, I was ready to sit down at my table and finally be able to eat it. I just couldn’t believe that I gave in to my temptation of wanting that man to do the things that he did to me. What was I thinking, going into his office and having lunch with him? Technically, we didn’t have lunch, he had made one of my fantasies come true about having sex in an office. Never did I think that would happen. What was I thinking? “You weren’t thinking as my consensus speaks to me.” Well, we are going to have to try to prevent that from happening again. I need to get started on my essay instead of sitting here daydreaming about my boss and letting my food get cold. Shaking my head, I get up and go get my laptop out of my room to start working on my essay. Sitting back down at the table, I opened my Microsoft Word to start writing about Why I was taking the class. Then I star
I finished my essay after hardly getting maybe four hours of sleep. I’m a nurse, and you think that I would be used to this by now. Well, I am not used to not getting my eight hours of sleep. However, I was glad that I managed to get my essay done for class tonight. Now I have some time before class starts, I could get a nap in before getting ready to go to class. First, though, I have to go and check my mail. I head down to the lobby heading towards my mailbox to check to see if I have any mail. Open the mailbox up, grab my mail, and then head back upstairs. As I was going through my mail; while walking up three flights of stairs, I saw an invitation in the mail for my class reunion. I’m winded once I get inside, help I had my exercise for the day. My heart is beating rapidly from climbing those stairs. I had to wait for my heart to stop beating rapidly before I decided whether to open the invitation. I cannot believe that it has been ten years already and my class reunion is alrea
I answer the phone, “what is it this time, Gabriel?” Why are you calling me? I am calling because I wanted to know if you have decided what I asked you about. No, Gabriel, I have not had time to think about that right now. Why not? As you must know, I got an invitation in the mail for my ten–year high school reunion.Wow, it has been ten years for you already? Yes, it has been ten years already and I cannot believe it. I was about to confirm my reservation about attending. That is good to know. I take it that you will be going by yourself then? What business of yours is it whether I go alone or not? We are not married anymore. I know that Gabriel says to me, cannot I even care about you a little?Why do you even care now, Gabriel? You did not seem to care when you were fucking your secretary. I know it was my fault. I’ve should have been stronger and honored our vows. Yes, you should have, and now you have a baby on the way because of it. “Yes, I know that, and I regret what I have do
It is the day of the class reunion, and I was lucky to get some time from work for this. Of course, I am going to have to work double shifts to make up for this time away from work. I am certainly up early today in my hotel room and very anxious about tonight. I just wish that my parents were here to see what I have accomplished so far. Ring, ring, I answer my cellphone after being in my thoughts. “Hey Sandy?” My goodness, Maddison, you were supposed to call me once you reached your hotel room. Oh, I am so sorry, I completely forgot. Once I got off the airplane and took an Uber to the hotel and checked into my room. I laid on the bed, before I knew it, morning came. Plus, I was just thinking about my parents and how I wished that they were here. Oh honey, I am so sorry I completely forgot about that. Don’t worry, it is fine, besides I know they are watching over me and are proud of me. Yes, they are sweetheart and you just remember that. Do you think that you’re going to run into Ga

Shane’s POV My brother Desmond was right I was being an asshole all because Maddison had waited until our honeymoon to tell me I will be a father. I couldn’t believe what a jerk I had been, and she wanted to make it special for me to receive the news. Now I need to stop by the flower shop to get her favorite flowers, apologize and tell her what a jerk I was. Ryan took me to the nearest flower shop. You got it sir. We found the flower shop a couple of blocks down from the hotel. I go inside looking for roses since that is her favorite flower. The florist comes up to me, asks me how she can help me? I tell her that I am looking for roses for my wife. Ah, I see, mind if I ask what happened? It is unclear to me why, but I ended up telling her the story of how she shared with me that she was pregnant. The florist says to me, you’re a moron, and she needs more than roses for her to accept your apology. She looks around the shop for the flowers and something else. Ahhh, yes, here w
The reception was spectacular, numerous people eating and dancing the night away. Before we knew it, it was time for me to toss the bouquet and for Shane to do the garter toss. I have to say that there had been a good amount of single men and single women here. Of course, the majority were nurses I worked with. Shane has his coworkers and a few of his employees on the floor as well. I tossed my bouquet first and one of the nurses caught it. Then, as usual as tradition would have it, Shane for the garter off my leg. Then tossed it, one of his employees caught it. It was time for us to change to go to our destination honeymoon. Everyone waved goodbye as we left. Not before my mother-in-law whispered in my ear, please be careful as to how you tell him. I nod my head smiling, waving again, heading towards the waiting limo. How do you feel now about being married to the most eligible bachelor? It feels absolutely astonishing I responded. Where are we going for our honeymoon, I asked hi
A month and a half later we are in the venue getting ready to stand before the family and friends. However, I feel that something is off. I ask Sandy if Shane has shown up yet for our wedding. No, he has not shown up yet. Can you please go see what is taking so long? I am ready to get married. You don’t to think he is getting cold feet, do you? Of course not as she tries to ease my mind. Did Shane tell you that he had something to do last minute? No, he did not tell me anything. All he said I have something to do, and I will be there in time for our wedding and that was yesterday. Hmm, I wonder what could be so important that he can’t make it on time to his wedding. I don’t know, but once he does get here he better have a good excuse for keeping me waiting or else I will pulverize him. Now Maddison don’t do anything harsh you know getting upset is not good for you and the baby. You mean babies, I mention to her. Sandy turns me around looks at me shockingly, then asks me what you
I cannot figure out what else you would have wanted, Gabriel? I approached you to see if I can get your forgiveness for what I have done to you. Gabriel, now is not the time for this, besides I am getting married. Can you forgive me please, Maddison? Well, since I am getting ready to plan my second wedding, it would be only right for me to forgive. I don’t want any bad mojo when getting married the second time around. Therefore, I do forgive you. Now, can I have a hug before you go? I am not so sure about hugging you, remember what happened the last time when you tried something with me. Yes, I do, it was because I was drunk and grieving for my unborn child. I know there is no excuse for that either. Alright, you can have a hug, then we hug and right before he lets me go he kisses me. Oh, you certifiable jerk, what is wrong with you as I push him away and slap him. The guards come grab him, then take him back to his cell. However, before they can even open the door, he says to me
Maddison, but I still love you. That is when I knew that something was terribly wrong with him. First coming up here to my engagement party drunk as a wilder beast is beyond me. He is usually never like that. Then to find out that my engagement party was leaked to the press makes me even more mad. I’m sure whoever did it Shane will have his or head on a platter, not literally, but you know what I mean right. Of course, you all do. We will find out who leaked it then have a good talk with them. How could he just come here and ruin my party? I doubt that I am ever going to forgive him. It is alright as my mom comforts me. The important thing is that you and the baby are okay. How could it be okay, mom? Everyone will be talking about this for a long time. Maybe after the wedding that we will be having in a couple of months. Hopefully, you will not be showing in the next two months my mother mentions to me. I am glad that I am not showing right now, but in case I do, I will make sure
It’s nothing for you to worry about, babe. Besides, you should be worrying about how big the bill will be. I am a billionaire Maddison, I don’t have to worry about how much money I spend when I can always make it back. Hold on a second here, quit trying to distract me. I want to know what your mother meant by that. I told you it was nothing, just something that she said to me, that is all. Are you sure it is nothing because you have not been quite yourself lately. I am fine, nothing that right months can handle while thinking that in my brain? Anyway, what are you going to wear for the party? I figured that we could both go in matching attire. You know what, we are going to put this on the back burner for now. We will finish this discussion at a later time. Presently, I have to go and pick up my tuxedo for the party. He gives me a kiss then leaves, woo, that was a close one. Don’t get me wrong, I love Shane, but I just want to be extra cautious as to how I am going to tell him.
After Shane asked me to marry him and the night was over, everyone went home. My mom decided to go back to her hotel room. I did insist that she stay here, but she would rather not interrupt our lovely night. Mom just please stay here so I do not have to worry about you. I will be fine dear, she said, besides Shane’s limo driver is going to take me back. Now you two love birds, have a wonderful evening and I will talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight. Goodnight I say as I give her a kiss on the cheek. We are watching my mom being escorted by the limo driver to the awaiting limo. Please take care of my mother, I say to Ryan as Shane is holding me. We walk back down to the cabin as I blink my tears away. Did you love your surprises? He asked me as I was getting undressed. I love them immensely, I replied. Good he says. Now how about I help you out of those clothes. I look at him and he is wiggling his eyebrows. I don’t feel like it tonight. Not only that, but I am so tired I told him an
My goodness Maddison what has been going on with you lately? He asks me. You have been snappy ever since we got back from your friend Sandy’s house. I thought maybe it was because you said that you were not feeling well. However, I am beginning to think that you are not telling me the whole truth. I so apologize Shane for being in such a bad mood. You went through all this trouble, and I am spoiling it because of my mood. Does work have you stressed out? Oh, you can say it is something to that effect. You know though, let’s not ruin my issues with work and whatever else I have going on dampen our night. You said that tonight was special so let’s enjoy it. Likewise, you are right darling let’s not mention your work or mine and enjoy the evening. We dig into our food having a nice conversation. Then his brother comes out of the kitchen, over to our table to ask us how the meal was. I tell him that the meal was fantastic. Shane says to his brother that he outdid himself once again.
Did I do something to you, Maddison, for you to have that kind of tone with me? I apologize sweetheart it not you it's me. I am just tired of caring for a patient who seems to want to grab my butt from time to time. Do I need to come down there to kick some patients' ass? No, babe you do not need to come down here, besides he is an old man who is harmless. Well, he needs to keep his hands off my lady. I will make sure to tell him that when my next rounds are on that floor, as I am laughing. My goodness Shane, you're not jealous, are you? You should know that you have nothing to worry about. No, I am not jealous, he says. Good you shouldn’t be, especially of an old gentleman. Anyway, you called me for a reason. Oh yes, he says that he had made a reservation tonight for eight in the finest restaurant in town. Okay, good I will not be off until six so that allows me plenty of time to get home shower and get dressed. Speaking of dresses since you mentioned it, what size are you? I a
