I feel myself getting closer to whom I assume is Shane. So, babe, are you ready for round two? Round two, how about we start with round one first? That is when I wake up and see my ex-husband Gabriel in the bed I am sleeping in. I screamed what the hell are you doing here in this room? Well, you said that if I needed anything I was to let you know. Oh my goodness, Gabriel, I meant that if you needed something to drink or an extra pillow. Oh my bad, anyway since I am here, do you want to fool around a bit? Have you lost your ever-loving mind, we are divorced. “That doesn’t mean that we can’t still do the hanky-panky once in a while.” “Did you forget that I have a boyfriend?” "Or did that just escape your mind because of pure insanity?” Awe, come on, what he doesn’t know will not hurt him. It may not hurt him, but he will certainly hurt you if he finds out that you were trying to take advantage of me. There is no way that man can beat me at anything, he looks skinny. Don’t let wha
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.
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
