Caleb POV:She grazed my tip light with her teeth and I felt a shudder go through me. I knew that I was close. I grabbed her by her ponytail and she went completely still, allowing me to use her mouth. I closed my eyes tightly as I approached my climax. I pictured Brianna and all the wonderful things that she was doing to me with her tongue but it was all wrong. Her blue eyes were a different deeper shade of blue and her hair was fiery red.I kept going and climaxed, emptying myself out into her waiting mouth. I almost fell to the ground after I came.She, on the other hand, stood up, chuckled as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and left the shower like she had not just given me a mind-blowing blow job. After it closed the door and the cloud of post-nut bliss cleared, it finally hit me. I had just orgasmed thinking about Victoria.That did not bode well for me.I finished my shower quickly and went to Brianna wondering how I would be able to face her. If she noticed that I was acting
Victoria POV: It had been a month since mom and Tom’s wedding. She had finally come home from a month long honeymoon in Hawaii, happy as a clam and sporting a gorgeous tan that I was very jealous of. Seeing how giddy she was affirmed my approval of Tom. I had not seen this version of my mom in a long time. We had talked a couple of times on facetime while she was away. Our conversations always seemed to be short because she always seemed to be rushing off from one activity to the next. I missed her but I loved that she was having the time of her life. One time during a video call, Tom came into the room with a flower for my mom and kissed her cheek which made her giggle. My mom. Giggled. I acted like I was absolutely disgusted by the display of affection when the truth is I was jealous of what they had. My mother was deeply and hopelessly in love while my relationship on the other hand was in the literal pits of hell. Over the past month, I started feeling more and more that Gabe an
Victoria POV:“Jesus, Tori, it’s almost one o'clock in the morning. What was so urgent that it couldn’t wait in the morning?" Alice complained immediately after she picked up the call.“Apparently, she has something important she has to tell us,” Samantha replied groggily.I set up a conference call and called them immediately after Gabe left the house.“I broke up with Gabe.”I paused for comments. After a moment of silence, the girls erupted into cheers and applause. I could hear Ben, Alice’s husband, grumbling in the background, complaining about the commotion. When Alice informed him of the news, he also started
Caleb POV:I was so excited to go home. I had finally gotten some time off work and immediately decided to go home. I had not gotten a long break since I came back from the wedding so when I got a four-day weekend, I booked my ticket to Arizona immediately. I could not believe that I had gone for almost two months without seeing my dad. That rarely ever happened.Eric, Dad, and I were pretty close and got even closer after the divorce. Sometimes I envied Eric because he got to stay home. I knew that if the opportunity presented itself, I would move to Arizona permanently. I hated being away from my family but I had my own life outside of them now. Things had been going well for me.I was up for a promotion at work, and my relationship with Brianna was thriving. I couldn’t be happie
Victoria POV:It had been two weeks since I officially moved back to Sedona. I had put all my furniture into a strange facility because I knew that I would need them once I moved back out of Stallone's guest house. I was sad about leaving the life that I had built for myself in Phoenix but I was even more excited for the new possibilities that had opened up for me in Sedona. I had already secured the job at Mrs. Pullman’s bakery. The pay was just a little less than what I was getting at La Grande and this time, I wasn’t going to be spending any of that money on rent or keeping a grown man fed so I took it immediately and so far, it had been a blast. I was catering to myself and my needs first.It also didn’t hurt that my mom and Alice were so close by. I got to see them whenever I wanted and it had been such a huge blessing. They helped me to settle down and validated my decision which I desperately needed. When mom mentioned that they were having a family dinner because Caleb was co
Caleb POV:I looked at Victoria in shock after her outburst. I refused to believe what she had just told me about Brianna. I tried reconciling it with the Brianna I knew and loved and none of it made sense. “You’re lying. You have to be lying. She is nothing like that. Do you really think I would have gone for all these years without noticing?” I asked her. She shook her head in disbelief and scoffed. “Tell me Caleb, what would I have to gain by making this up,” she asked.I couldn’t think of a reason why she would make up that lie and it scared me. I knew Victoria or at least I used to. She would not lie about such a serious accusation, especially one that had such serious repercussions if she wasn’t completely sure. If this was true then it meant that I didn’t really know the person that I was planning to marry and it would mean that I would need to reconsider everything.“I don’t know but why should I believe you? You are giving me just your side of the story. How do I know that
Victoria POVI watched him as he walked out of the house. I slammed the door shut immediately he stepped out of the house and leaned my back on it. I knew that he was still standing there because I could see his shadow from under the door. I took several deep breaths to calm myself down. I was feeling a lot of emotions.I was angry at him for not believing me and thought that I would make up a lie like that just to spite. I was angry because I thought that it would mean more to him when he finally found out the true reason why we ‘broke up’. But underneath all that I was sad. His last words rang in my mind.“It wouldn’t be fair for me to just judge her based on what you believe happened. She’s my fiancé.”“What do I believe happened?” I said out loud in utter disbelief.He really didn’t believe me. He thought that I was just making up a spiteful story about his fiancé. Why was he so blind to the truth? It was right in front of him, all he had to do was open his eyes to it. I felt a we
Caleb POVIt was my last day in Sedona before I had to travel back to Los Angeles and just like the first night I arrived home, a family dinner was thrown before my flight later that night. There was no real reason for it or occasion to celebrate, my family just liked to meet together. Just like last time, Victoria was notably absent. This time, it was Gloria who asked where she Was and surprisingly, my dad gave the answer.“I bumped into her when I was running errands in town. She sends her apologies, she won’t be able to come for this dinner.”“Did she say why?” Melissa asked, sounding rather disappointed.I was actually surprised that Tori had not filled her mother in on everything that was going on considering how close they were.“No, but to be honest, I didn’t ask. I’m sorry darling. I could call her right now,” my father replied. He looked guilty as hell.“No, it’s fine honey, I’ll give her a ring after dinner. Don’t worry about it," Melissa replied and pecked my dad on the l
One Year LaterVictoria's POV“Annabelle, no. don’t put that flower in your mouth,” I heard Gloria’s voice shout followed by the sound of little feet running.The next thing I knew, two little figures came running into the room I was in. Annabelle who was in a beautiful blush pink poofy tulle dress had a rose stalk in her hand and my son, Liam followed right behind her with a huge smile on his face. When I saw him in his little tux, my heart melted. I couldn't believe that it had only been a year since I gave birth to him. He had gotten Caleb’s brown hair and my blue eye; the best of both worlds. Even at one year old, he had so much personality.He was the happiest baby that I knew. I didn’t know that I could love someone so little so much. Being a mom meant that you literally walked around every day with your heart outside your body. I wanted to just scoop him up and smother him with kisses.“No no no. Resist the cuteness. We have work to do,” Kathy, my makeup artist said, snapping
Victoria's POVEveryone had been acting rather strange for the past two weeks. I didn’t know exactly what was going on but I could tell that something was up. When I asked Caleb if he saw it too, he told me that it was probably in my head. My mom invited all of us to their place for dinner because she thought that it had been a while since we were all together. I didn’t mind because that meant that I got to see Caleb. He had been so busy with work for the past two weeks, that I hadn’t gotten the chance to see him.I had started getting used to the idea of being pregnant. The only people who knew were me, Caleb, Alice, and Sam. I called Sam immediately after Caleb left and she was so happy for me. She told me that she hoped that it would be a girl because her head was already bursting with ideas of all the clothes she could make for her.I was honestly excited. Sure, I was very nervous about bringing new life to the world but he or she would be a product of the love between Caleb and
Caleb's POVI rushed over to Tori’s apartment as soon as she called me. I could hear the panic in her voice and I knew something was wrong. I was already in Sedona to visit Eric, so it wasn’t too far of a drive.When I arrived, Tori was standing at the door, tears in her eyes. “Caleb, I don’t know how to say this, but I’m pregnant.”I felt a rush of emotions wash over me. I was elated, overjoyed, and terrified all at the same time. I couldn’t believe that I was finally going to have a family with the woman that I loved. This was everything that I had ever wanted, and I knew that I had to do whatever it took to make this work.I pulled her into a tight hug and hugged her really tight. She had no idea what it meant to me. Ever since Annabelle was born, I had the overwhelming desire to settle down and have a family of my own. I wanted someone to come home to every day.Someone to love and hold and grow old with. I wanted a mini version of me running around the house and making a mess. I
Victoria's POVBliss.Pure unadulterated bliss. That's what I felt every second of the day. dating Caleb was the easiest decision that I had ever made. He made me feel like the most special girl in the world and made sure that I knew I was loved.He constantly sent me sweet texts. We would talk on the phone for hours and would drive to and from Arizona to Sedona every two days just because we couldn’t bear to be apart for too long. He had sent so many flowers to my house that I was running out of counter space to keep all of it. I had only dated Caleb for a month but I immediately knew that this was what dating should feel like. I was happy and felt secure knowing that my heart was in his hands. Everyone else before him faded in comparison like a distant foggy memory. Everyone was thrilled for us. We decided to keep our relationship under wraps at first. We wanted to remain in our little love bubble but that plan quickly went to the dogs two weeks after we started dating. Gloria had
Caleb's POVI placed my phone beside me on the couch and tried to ignore it. my eyes however kept drifting back to it hoping that it would light up with a response from Tori. When I heard a chime, I basically dove for it. Just like I had hoped, it was a message from Tori.Hi Caleb!Don’t worry about me. I’m going to be okay. I think we should meet and talk about everything. Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me. If she wanted, I would get into my car and drive to Sedona right away as tired as I was, I felt a surge of energy go through my body. I had to take deep breaths to calm myself down before I responded. I didn’t want to push my luck.How about tomorrow? I could come down to Sedona.I texted back then dropped my phone like it was hot metal. I worried that maybe I sounded too eager. I was so nervous, I didn't think I was capable of playing it coo
Victoria's POVIt had been two weeks since my bakery was vandalized and I still couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. Every time I heard a sudden noise, my heart skipped a beat and my mind instantly jumped to worst-case scenarios. I feel like I couldn't trust anyone anymore.I couldn’t believe that someone would just destroy something like that. every store next to mine was untouched which indicated that this was a targeted attack. I couldn't shake the feeling that Brianna was behind this.I always knew Brianna was trouble, but I never thought she was capable of doing something like this to me. She took away my pride and joy, the one thing that I worked so hard for. She set me back so much that I had to turn down orders because I was not in a good mental space to work. It was not just the financial loss that was weighing on me, it was the fact that Brianna took away something that was so dear to me.She took away my sense of security and left me feeling exposed. I had been staying
Caleb's POVThe room was deathly quiet in the wake of Tori’s outburst.“Ummm…what was that? What was she talking about?” My dad asked.Every eye in the room turned to look at me expectantly. They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand
Victoria's POVA full day after Caleb had dropped the bomb on me, I was still in the trenches. I felt like shit. He had single-handedly managed to turn my entire world upside down. When I walked into the living room, I got flashbacks of our conversation. The wounds hurt all over again. That’s when I knew that I had to make a change. I couldn't keep living in the same house where I had spent countless nights thinking about him.I had been secretly browsing real estate listings for weeks, not telling anyone about my plans to move because I wasn't even sure if it was what I wanted. But after my last interaction with Caleb, I knew that it was time to make a change.I called my real estate agent and told him to expedite the viewing. I wanted to be out of the guest house for a week, and I didn't care about the cost or the logistics. I just wanted to leave, to start anew. Over the next few days, I visited several different houses. None of them felt quite right, but I knew that I couldn't kee
Victoria's POVAs I sat there staring at Caleb, I couldn't believe what he was saying. For years, I had dreamed of hearing those three little words from him, and now they were finally coming out of his mouth. "I love you, Tori," he said.My heart leaped in my chest at the sound of his words, and for a moment, I felt like I was floating on a cloud. He loved me. Caleb Stallone actually loved me back. All these years that I had spent pining over him thinking that there was no way that he loved someone like me, I was wrong all along. He felt the same way that I did! I was elated. At that moment, I felt invincible.But then, as he continued to speak, my happiness quickly turned to anger. "I even broke up with Brianna for you," he said as if that was some kind of accomplishment. He just had to go ahead and ruin this wonderful moment for me. He made it sound like he was doing me a favor.I felt like I was being made to sound like the consolation prize like I was some kind of second choice th
