"Jace!" I hissed out his name and he came strolling over like he didn't have a care in the world."What's up baby? You don't see anything you like?""Jace, it's the Hermes store, what's not to like? Who are those men?""What men?" He looked around directly at the two men I pointed out to him."Those two.""How the hell should I know? I don't know everyone in L.A." He walked away again but I knew he was lying. "Just for that, I'm buying two bags."He didn't need to know that I'd have to order the really expensive ones since they didn't carry them in the store. "I already had mom order you the coming season's limited editions. You should call and make sure you don't buy the same thing twice, or at least get a different color."I hung my head and went back to looking at summer wraps for the beach. I guess he realized I like bags at some point. He doesn't miss a damn step. I have to come up with ways to keep him on his toes. Can't have him constantly one-upping me.I saw th
This is what I like. Days like today. After the shopping trip from hell we all went out to dinner and now me, and princess pain in the ass were back home with her million and one bags.Sleeping beauty was upstairs resting after I fucked her ass to sleep to keep her from annoying me and getting into my shit, which I was about to get up to. I had the monitors in my room working overtime so I'd know if she woke and needed me."Dad!" I walked into his study where he can usually be found these days since mom had deserted him for Sian's mom. Her dad was at their place overseeing the last minute details on the repairs before they moved back in, so this one was on his lonesome. Jared was somewhere sniffing around his girl I'm guessing as per usual."What did you do now?""Me? I didn't do shit, what do you mean?""I'm just checking, these days I can never be too sure. You know son, I'm still trying to figure out how you went from never getting into shit, to constantly staying in shit.
The interview went well. I can see now why she has the reputation that she does. It's like she's perfected the art of reading people. She knew what I was up to ten minutes after we sat down, and proceeded to ask all the right questions.Now it was over, but it was only just the beginning."Jace, I don't understand; why does the whole world need to know about us getting married?" "It's just a Saunders thing baby." My ass! I was sending out a message loud and clear.""Tomorrow's our big day why don't you get some rest?""Jace, it's the middle of the afternoon."So? Are you hungry?" She stopped walking and gave me one of her suspicious glares."No, no I am not tired and I am not hungry. I want to go swimming." Swimming? Was that allowed? "Gimme one minute." Google has been my friend the last few days with this pregnancy shit.I walked a few steps away from nosy and looked that shit up. Something else to add to the okay list. "Okay. Let's go change into our suits.""What di
I like that when we leave here she's still going to be getting the same treatment, that it wasn't an act when her father in law kissed her hair in passing when she was sitting down at the table. Or how her mother in law speaks to her so relaxed, asking her opinion like they were old friends.I know my sister, and if there was any artifice there, I would've seen it long ago. Of course I have no doubt Jace would put an end to any such thing."Mom, what're you doing here? Why aren't you with Sian helping her get ready?""She sent me to talk to Belle for you. Why did you guys choose the last minute to decide this is what you want to do?"Is it weird that none of our parents were complaining that we were getting married at our age? Jace's parents had invited Tammy's and Belle's to the wedding and that was before we knew anything about Jace's plans.I'd had to meet her dad one more time to ask permission, and when I asked him for an explanation as to why he wasn't losing his mind o
"Jace, everyone's going to be waiting.""This is where it all began." He moved inside me again."I know, you said the same thing last night." He's either nervous, scared, or overly excited, I'm not quite sure which. Last night he'd dragged me off here after our moms teased him unmercifully. But now, hours before the wedding was supposed to start, he'd brought me back here again.I ran my fingers down his cheek and smiled up at him, not caring that my wedding gown was being crushed beneath me, or that I was sure to have sex hair when we were through.He bit my finger and stroked into me again. "Are you happy?""I've been happy since the day we met." I don't know why that should make him stop and stare down at me with a look of... what was that look?Whatever it was it was new. He brushed the hair back from my cheek and gave me a butterfly soft kiss that I felt in my heart. "Now you have to hurry before we're late for our own wedding."I knew just how to get him to finis
"Wait, it's done? The fuck, did I say anything?" Sian clapped her hand over me mouth. Married two minutes and she was already starting her shit. I seriously don't remember saying my vows or answering shit, but apparently I'd done my part.I'd been too busy watching her and the others. Seeing the smiles on their faces made me happy and at the end of the day that's all I cared about. For me, this was just the beginning and not the most important part of our journey.I know most people put a lot of stock in these ceremonies and the big show of it all, but for me that wasn't as important as the life that follows. Of course Sian's ass was loving it. She's such a girl.She made me get into that damn carriage to ride to the place where we were going to take pictures, before coming back here for the reception. I didn't mind as much as I let on, since it was playing into my plans.Sian beamed from ear to ear but I could tell she was glad it was over too. There were actually people lined
I left her for two minutes to go check on something and came back to that damn kid teasing her ear with a flower or some fuck. I'd gone to stand with the guys since the girls were getting acquainted with her hometown crew and was just in time to see this shit."Who the fuck is that kid?" Jared turned to follow my gaze."Oh Sam, he used to be Sian's boyfriend.""Her what?""Chill Jace they were five.""I give a fuck; excuse me.""Come with me." I took her arm and led her away after scaring the fuck out of the kid with my glare. The little shit looked like he was going to shit himself. "Jace, behave.""What did I do?""You scared poor Sammy half to death."His name is Sam." That Sammy shit sounded too much like an endearment to me. She opened her mouth to argue and I kissed her to shut her up. I was jealous at my own wedding and none too happy about it.I kept her by my side the rest of the evening and noticed that though the other kids from her hometown came around,
"The young bride, the beautiful and talented Sian Saunders nee Claiborne herself, hails from another prominent business family of notable mention, the Claibornes of Claiborne Inc.""With these two coming together in wedded bliss, I for one am more than excited to see what this new generation has in store for us. Stay tuned later for an exclusive interview with the bride and groom..."I turned off the TV and flung the remote across the bedroom, slamming it into the wall. My pulse raced and my breathing escalated as fury swept through the blood in my veins."That was supposed to be me." The phone rang again and I don't know why I rushed to answer as tears started rolling down my face. "What?""Did you watch? What happened to you and Jace getting back together?""You bitch Kelly you'd better never let me see your face again." Her laugh grated on my nerves and made me feel small, something I haven't felt since I learned how to look out for myself."You don't scare me, I'm not L
