Once I opened the door I couldn’t believe my eyes Shane was standing outside my door. I dropped my phone giving him a hug and a kiss. What on earth are you doing here, I ask him. Shouldn’t you be overseas handling that merger with your company? Well, I couldn’t concentrate knowing that your ex-husband was here with you. I told you that I was able to handle him and that you had nothing to worry about. I know that, however, I am still a man and I wanted to protect my woman. Oh, so I am your woman now? What do you mean by that he asks me? I mean what are we in a nonexclusive or an exclusive relationship? Well, what do you want? I want to be in a relationship with an exclusive one at that. Then we will be in an exclusive relationship. Good, I say to him as he kisses me in front of my ex showing his dominance of me. Look I can only stay for another couple of days. What! Why do you have to leave again? I have to go visit my mom again and see how she is doing. It seems that she is not
I cannot believe today is the day that you’re leaving. Do you have to go? Yes, Maddison I have to go, I want to make sure that my mother is alright and that she understands that there is a new woman in my life. I know you have to go, it just doesn't fair. I will only try to be gone for a day, remember I have a private plane, so I can be back in the States within eight to sixteen hours. I know, but when you come back and if you ever leave me again, I am not sure what I will do. I promise after this time I will not leave you again. You better not or else you're going to see a different side of me. Shane kisses me on the forehead, then lifts my chin and proceeds to kiss me on the mouth. I couldn’t help but melt at the touch of his lips on me. There is just something in the way he kisses that makes me all tingling inside. After he finishes kissing me, he asks, so what is for breakfast? Sausage, eggs, biscuits, coffee, and juice. Wow, you are going to spoil me before I leave, aren’t
Come on now, there is no need for you to be jealous of my flight attendant. I’m not jealous, just a concerned girlfriend. I look at the flight attendant as she gives me a smirk. Then looks at my man with a twinkle in her eye. However, I do the next best thing before he gets on the plane. I kiss him every so passionately while grabbing him. The flight attendant turns and then goes up the steps. Well off you go now as I let go of him. You just couldn’t let it go, could you? Nope, she had to know that you’re mine. Okay, then I will see you in two weeks. Bye, babe. Buy as I wave back to him. It is two weeks later and Shane is due to be back I believe Friday evening. However, when he called, I had not been feeling well at all. He asked me if I was alright, and I told him that I was. Do I need to come back earlier than expected? No, I will be fine, it was probably something I just ate that didn’t agree with me. Alright, make sure to get plenty of rest because when I get back, we are g
Once I open the door, then close it. I called Maddison, but still, there wasn’t any answer. She must be sleeping and did not hear me. So, I go to her bedroom and turn the light on. However, when I look, I see that the bed hasn’t even been slept in. That is when I decided to call her cell. Ring, Ring, hello as I hear her voice. Maddison, my goodness letting out a deep breath. I thought that something had happened to you. Shane, what are you talking about? Well, I came back early to surprise you and see if you were okay. Oh my goodness, how sweet of you to come back earlier than expected. However, did you forget that I said that I would be at my friend Sandy’s house? She is the one that you said she was due to have her baby any day now, right? Yep, that would be her. Well, how is she doing? They had a baby girl early this morning about 3:30 a.m. and guess what? What? They named her after me. Oh, babe, that is beautiful. I know right? I cannot wait for you to meet her. Stay righ
When we leave from Sandy’s house Shane still wants to know what us girls were talking about? I tell him it was just girl talk. Is that so he says to me? I would rather not talk anymore, I would like to go home and have you do what you said that you’re going to do to me. Well, you don’t have to tell me twice. Then he asks Brandon the limo driver to take us back to my house. Then I thought about the conversation we had. I decided to firmly ask him, is he certain that he wants kids? Yes, I am certain that I want to have kids some day. Okay, but what if let’s say hypothetically that I was pregnant how would you feel? Hypothetically speaking, I would say it would be the wrong time not what we had planned, but I would be ecstatic because I would be having baby with you. That is an excellent answer as I lay my head on his shoulder and fall asleep. Before, I know it we are back at my place, Maddison, wake up we are here. Oh my goodness, how long have I been in sleep? You have been sleep
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
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.
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
When I went over to Maddison and Shane’s house, I had no idea a party was happening until I heard the music in the background. However, I did ring the doorbell first before I decided to enter since the door was unlocked. Who leaves their door unlocked anyway in this neighborhood? Don’t they know criminals are looking for a way into someone’s home? I hope they do not let just anybody walk up in here. Walking through their house, I see many decorations, including pink and blue balloons, food, and a cake. I asked myself what was with all this stuff; then, it dawned on me that this must be a gender reveal party. That would explain all the decorations around the house. I hear much noise, so I head towards the backyard. I saw some people that Maddison and I knew there in college. I also see my best friend and his wife, Sandy. Why was I not invited to this? Asking myself. Looking at the two of them makes me envious. It should have been all four of us together. It did not turn out that way b
Do you mean to tell me the night before you came to the reunion that you had some call girl in your hotel room? How did she look? Did she look better than me? Maddison, come on now. I did not know you would be at the reunion. Well, it is good that I did not see you with this woman the day before, or else I would have thought you were just another guy interested in that kind of stuff. I get it: a man has needs, and it was not as if we had any idea that we would run into each other. I know it was a stupid idea, but it was just sex to me.Well, hopefully, you were careful with this call girl. Did you have her sign an NDA? Have her sign what, you know, a nondisclosure agreement. It means she cannot discuss or say anything she did with you. Of course, I did. After all, I am a successful billionaire, and she knows the consequences of discussing what happened between us. I hope you are right, honey because women will do anything for the right price. It should not be a problem if she knows wh
The party had ended shortly after Gabriel left, and Shane was done talking to him. We will talk long tonight, especially since he keeps secrets from me. First, though, we need to clean up the backyard, and then we can talk about it. Honey, I asked Shane if you would please help me clean up. Of course, babe, I cannot have you doing all the work in your condition. “What do you mean in my condition?” “Come now, babe, do not get mad?” “You know that it's almost time for the babies to go out.” “Yes, I know, but that does not mean I am helpless.” “I want to do something useful before the babies come.” “I know you, Maddison, but shouldn’t you be nesting?” “Hey, do not give me that look. It is what I read in one of the pregnancy books.” You are right. I should be nesting and getting everything ready for our beautiful girls coming in a few weeks. Are you admitting to me being right about what I said? I am not going to say that you are right or wrong. I was making a statement. Besides,
I observed Shane escorting my ex-husband out of the backyard. His expression suggested he might intend harm towards Gabriel. However, he is aware that he cannot afford to go to jail, especially with the babies on the way. It is noteworthy that they are all girls, which was unexpected. He will be a father to daughters, and we may consider trying for a boy. This decision will depend on his performance as a parent. Nonetheless, watching Shane with Gabriel gives me an uneasy feeling. Hopefully, nothing adverse will occur. Shane Look here, Gabriel. I do not know what you think that you heard about me having gambling problems when there are rumors. Well, my sources are reliable. I do not know who your sources are, but they are most certainly wrong. Besides, if there were any truth to those rumors, do you think I could not afford this house? No, you bought this with your gambling money. No, I did not. It shows what you know: I bought this house with the money I earned from my company. Awe
The person's throat cleared again, and then everyone turned around. I could not believe it with my very own eyes was my ex-husband, Gabriel. How did he find us? He was not even supposed to be here. I thought he would be somewhere drowning his sorrows. This man has been grieving ever since he lost his baby boy. Jason and Sandy looked shocked, just as I am. Looking at him now, though, I see that he is better. I cannot help but feel that something is off about him. It makes me uneasy that he is here. What is he doing here? Sandy asked me. I have no idea why he is here. More importantly, though, how did he know where I was? Gabriel walks up to me to offer me congratulations on the gender reveal. Well, Shame, it looks as if you will be a girl dad. I want to offer my deepest condolences. Why are you condescending, arrogant, and selfish, man? How dare you say something such as that? Shane will make a great girl dad. He will be their provider and protector to congratulate me on the gender r
It turned out that it was just a stuffed animal watching me. It certainly looked real to me. I waited a few more minutes until Maddison went back upstairs. That was close, and I cannot believe she did not notice I was there. Then again, she was half asleep going up the stairs after eating. Now, where was I going to put this tiny device again? Oh, yes, it is in one of the books that she hardly ever reads this time. She has so many romance novels it is hard to keep track of. However, I am surprised that her new husband has not seen her romantic novels. Then again, he has but just ignored it. Now, it is time for me to get out of here before they wake up and head back to my house. Maddison Shane wakes up, sweetie. Remember, we have an appointment today to see the Ultrasound Technician to find the sex of our babies. Just a few more minutes, please he tells me. The anticipation is palpable as we prepare for this momentous occasion. Come on, babe, the quicker we get this done, the faster w
Gabriel Whoa, that was a close one. I could not believe those two were getting close to seeing my disguise. That would have not been particularly good for me at all. I would have asked myself the questions they were asking if one of them was in a different disguise. I am sitting in my car waiting for the alarm person to finish that I hired for them. This is the only way I know I can keep track of how Shane treats my ex-wife. I could not believe that I dared to do something so stupid as to have an affair with my young secretary. Look where it has gotten me by thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. Maddison and I would still be together if I had not been thinking with my tiny brain instead of my big one. I would not have to resort to such measures to get her to forgive me. A wise person once said, “It is better to be forgiven than not to be forgiven.” I do not remember who said it; it was Ghandi, or it could have been my grandmother. My grandma Eleanor was an incredi
Shane You know you do look familiar to her ex-husband. Are you sure that you two are not related? Oh, I am most certainly sure. I know you two have just moved in, but I wanted to ask how you like the place. We love the place, and I see Maddison’s face getting extremely red, like a tomato. Awe, Maddison, your face is ripe as a tomato Sam mentions while hiding her face. Does that mean the two of you had some fun last night? Yes, we had some fun last night I answered. Good. I am glad to hear that you both love the place. I tell him there is nothing as fun as getting some with the woman you love. No there is nothing wrong with that at all. I must be off now and let you get back to unpacking boxes. Thank you so much for stopping by Samantha, Maddison said. However, the next time you come by can you knock? It is no problem, and I will make sure to knock first I cannot help but get a strange feeling that we will not be seeing the last of her. I get the same feeling too; I said to, Maddis
It was finally moving day, and we couldn’t wait to have the keys to our new home. It was a long week waiting, but Shane and I did it. Shane did most of the packing for me while I supervised. He didn’t want me to do anything since I was pregnant with four babies. Will you at least let me do something? I asked him. I feel so useless, I told him. You are supervising me and telling me what you want in these boxes. Isn’t that doing something he says to me? I couldn’t argue with that because he was right. At least I didn’t have to carry the heavy stuff, which was an advantage of being pregnant. I’m going to make myself some lunch. Do you want anything? I asked Shane. Wow, those babies have you eating crazy as a…don’t you dare finish that sentence. Never mind, I will have a sandwich with chicken, provolone cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with Italian dressing. Yum, that sounds delicious; I will make some for both of us. The packing is almost finished, so we sit down to eat our lunch. Babe, I
