The entire night, i was constantly stealing glances at my husband, wondering when would be the best time to start sharing.The dinner table was not an option as Ethan and Stuart were there so, i had to wait until we were alone.When we got to out bedroom, Karl went into the bathroom and i waited for him, sitting with my back pressed against the headboard and my lower half under the covers.I hugged one of the three books to my chest and waited for him to finish showering.I heard the water stop running and a few minutes later, Karl walked out with a towel hanging around his waist. He's drying his hair with a smaller towel like he always does.I watched his stand there and use his right hand to dry his silver blond hair. His thick muscles flex with every movement he made, forcing me to stare at his tattoos move with his arm."Like what you see!" Karl teased me and I quickly looked away as my cheeks warmed up.I heard Karl chuckle before he moved into the walk-in closet. It doesn't take
"Are you nervous?" Karl asked after he took a sip of his black coffee.I sighed before leaning back on my seat and pouted a bit."Just a little." I answered.Picking up my fork, i stabbed a large egg and stuffed it in my mouth. To be completely honest, I'm really nervous. Today is the first day I'm getting back to work after two month. January and February went by in a blink of an eyes and all i managed to do was hide at home and rest in the loving arms of my husband. But that ends today.The first of March is the day i go back to the Davis Company and I'm excited but also a lot nervous. I have a lot to catch up on and the last thing i want to do is mess up on my first day back.My boss didn't have a assistant before me so he would do fine without me so my spot as his assistant can be revoked at anytime.Princi had called me yesterday and asked if the rumors of my return were true. I haven't seen her since i got out of the hospital the day of Kaily's presentation even though she had
I sat on my chair, tapping my pen against the top of my desk as i remembered my conversation with Karl.Our lunch was perfect. Except for Brownie glaring at my husband once or twice, everything went without a hitch.Karl loved the food so much that he constantly complement Brownie until he softened her up and by the end of lunch, they were quit friendly.The one thing that made me sad was when Karl mentioned the Sunday family dinners.In the last two month, i wasn't comfortable enough to go out let alone join the family i have wronged and Karl refused to leave me even for an hour to visit his family.We've missed eight family dinners and Karl was wondering if i would like to go this Sunday.I realized how selfish i have been.The Thompsons are a really tight family so it must have been hard for Karl to miss all of those dinner and to tell his family members to not visit as to give me more time.Karl said that i shouldn't rush myself and if I don't want to go to the dinner this weekend
I looked down at Karl's sleeping face and hesitated.Should i wake him up and do it?I hugged the year book closer to my chest as i contemplated on my decision.Today, I'd spent the entire evening with my year book.As soon as i got off work at Lunch, i called Ethan and came home right away. After i had coffee ... Chocolate milkshake with Felisha, I'd been wanting to get back to my year book and keep on making mends. So, that's what i did.I came home, had Lunch with Ethan and a very moody Stuart - because he's quiting smoking - and i went upstairs to get some privacy with my year book.I'd called about a dozen of people, some were tougher than others but by the end of each call, I'd checked a little right mark on the side of their names.I'd stopped for a few minutes when Karl got home. He didn't want dinner and because he was exhausted, he immediately went to sleep.I, on the other hand, went back to making my calls.And now, with one last name to check off the year book, i have th
I held on to Karl's hand real tight the closer we got to the Thompsons Mansion. Just a few more minutes in the car and we'll be arriving there."Relax, Wife." Karl whispered into my ear.I bit my bottom lip as i glanced at him."Would they want me there?" I asked, feeling insecurity rear it's ugly head in my way.Karl pulled me closer and draped his arm over my shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and moved his hand up and down my arm.He doesn't dignify my question with an answer, he just holds me as an encouragement.I sighed as i ran my hand down the front of my red dress. The nerves were about to drive me crazy."We can turn the car around and go back home, Lucy. You don't have to go through with something you're not ready for." Karl said but i was quick to shake my head."No, I do want to be there. I'm just a little nervous is all."Karl looked at me for a few seconds before he nodded his head and looked out of the window to check if we're any closer to his childhood home. Kar
"This was your room?" I asked just to be sure and Karl nodded his head."Yup. This was where all the magic happened." He replied with a laugh.I chuckled along with him as i looked around the room.The walls are painted light blue with a darker shade going around the corners. It was also decorated with posters of professional wrestlers back in the day, most of them being Stone Cold Stevie Austin.I waled closer to his posters and admired them. One of them were a woman wrestler by the name of Beth Phoenix."I was kind of obsessed with professional wrestling." Karl commented as he stood beside me and looked at the posters. "She was my childhood crush." He said as he pointed to the female wrestler with a little laugh."I honestly couldn't have imagined."On the other side of the wall, there are multiple cups Karl won at different things, mostly sports."You were a pretty active child, weren't you?" I asked as i looked at Karl over my right shoulder.Karl nodded his head as he followed me
I looked at Karl's side of the bed only to find it empty. I pressed my palm on the sheets to realize that it was cold he it might have been some time since he left.My heart started to race and i shot up to frantically look around me. And right there on top of my nightstand, i saw a little piece of paper with Karl's hand writing."I got called in really early so i had to go. Don't forget to have your breakfast before you leave for work, Ethan will drive you. Good luck on your session today, Wife. I'll call afterwards. 'Husband'The instant relief i felt made me drop back down on the bed with a loud sigh.I don't know what the hell i was thinking would happen, that he would just up and leave after we shared an intimate night for the first time.He just had work to do so he left early and made sure to leave me a note. How sweet is that?I looked at the clock on Karl's nightstand and sighed again when I realized that i need to start getting ready fo
The sun light peeked through the curtains, shining on my face and forcing me to crack open my eyes.I rub my eyes before fully opening them up and looking around the sitting room.I'd spent the entire night waiting for Karl and must have dozed off.Rubbing the back of my neck, i got up and made my way to the stairs. I glance over to the open kitchen and saw that the plates were still out and i didn't put them in the fridge.With a sigh, i claimed up the stairs and went into our bedroom.The bed is still made from yesterday morning and there were no signs of my husband.After Karl had sent me the text last night, I'd tried to call him but his phone was immediately switched off, completed confusing the heck out of me.With another sigh, i got ready for work and went downstairs. The whole process was completely different from the previous day.Yesterday, i was riding a buzz and I was on cloud nine. But today, i just felt really grim.I walked into the Kitchen to fine the cousin twins pu
Lucy Chaw... You know how the say the groom shouldn't see the bride in her wedding dress or else bad things will happen on your wedding day? Well I used to think that it was just a silly superstition. It's not. Preparing for the second wedding had taken a bit longer than we thought. It took me a few weeks to make the dress with the help of my two sister-in-laws and the over all preparation had taken a few more weeks which meant that April, June and I had to alter the dress around the waist all over again. But after much time of preparation, we are finally ready to renew our vows. Karl and I never had vows on our wedding because, it was never a marriage of Love. But now, we want to do it the right way, say what we want to say, read our vows to each other in front of our friends and families. Finally, at thirty- six month pregnant, I was finally ready to marry my husband again. But... but... After April helped me in to my dress and we were a few minutes short from walking down th
Karl Thompson..."I'm almost there. Traffic jam is not a joke today." April's frustrated voice came from the other side of the phone."Alright, take your time and drive safe." I warned before hanging up the phone."Is she here yet?" June asked, catching my attention.I looked at my younger sister sitting front across me in my office and I shook my head."She's stuck in traffic." I commented and watched as June leaned back on her seat with a sigh."I'm kind of nervous." She said after a few seconds of silence.Looking down at the document on top of my desk, I nodded my head.I understood her nerves. April had been wanting to be apart of the Thompsons Fashion since she was a little girl. Her ambition had grown even more when June started working here.I still don't know what my two sisters talked about or when and how they made up but ever since they did made up, the two have been attached to each others hips.Their sisterhood has grown so much that April invites June out for
Karl pulled me over to the room across from our girls room and opened the door.If breathtaking was the last room, then this one almost caused me to pass out."Happy birthday, wife." Karl whispered in to my ear as he stepped behind me and gently pushed me further into the room.There are shelves filled with large, different colored fabrics, a few mannequins stood here and there, a large pale pink table stood in the center of the room.The walls are graced with beautiful arts and designed wall papers. There are empty picture frames hanging on the walls."There are empty so you can feel them with anything you want." Karl commented from behind me as he let go of my hips and let me wonder further into the room.I stepped closer to the shelves holding the fabrics and I couldn't help but reach out and pinch them between my thumb and forefinger just to see if they were actually here.The fabrics felt expensive in my fingers, so beautiful and elegant.I looked across from the shelve to see a
I looked around the backyard as our friends and family sang me a happy birthday.The beautiful birthday decoration stood behind me and my birthday cake stood in front.I pressed my palms flat against each other in front of me and listened. My cheeks were already hurting from having to smile too much but I couldn't stop my lips from stretching.I looked at the faces of my friends and families, each of them having a smile in their faces and I couldn't believe the fact that they were all here for me.I leaned closer to the cake once they finished singing me a happy birthday and took a deep breath to blow out the candles. I made sure to close my eyes and make a wish before the last candle was out.I glanced at Karl, who winked at me, quite literally winked at me, forcing heat to burn my cheeks.Soon enough, the cake was cut and pieces were making their ways out to our guests. Karl took my hand and led me to a chair. I let out a groan as soon as I dropped myself in the chair because I did
I took a deep breath as Zeus finished his final touch and stepped back to take a look at his work."Do I look better?" I asked.Zeus chuckled before he offered me his hand and helped me up. I stepped towards the mirror and looked at my reflection. Zeus gave me a soft smile as he placed his hands on my shoulders."You look beautiful, Lucy." He commented. "I mean... I wan the one who did your make up, so it's only natural that you look your best."I playfully glared at Zeus through the mirror before a smile made its way to my lips."Thank you." I whispered. "You really are a life saver."Zeus nodded his head. He really was a life saver. In the last ten minutes, he was able to remove all the runny and ruined make up off of my face and do a soft natural look, all while trying to calm me down."Don't worry about it. I got you." He patted my shoulder before he started collecting the brushes from the sink."Still. I'm really grateful. And I'm sorry I made a scene out there."Zeus stopped col
Lucy Chaw...I stared at my reflection with uncertainty. Placing both of my hands on my large baby bump, I looked down at my long, pale pink dress through the full length mirror. Instead of feeling happy and excited, I feel scared.I don't know why but it all felt fake. Like if I close my eyes for too long then it would all disappear and turn in to a far memory I could barely reach.The long dress Karl bought for me is beautiful and looks way too expensive. The pale pink fabric is decorated with small dusted golden glitter form the top to bottom. This morning, after Karl and I had breakfast alone because he said the cousin twins had an "Errand" to run, a group of stylists and make up artists had invaded the house and kept me locked up in our bedroom, pulling at my hair, stabbing at my face...Okay, fine. I may be over reacting.There were actually only three women that came at Karl's request. One woman to style my hair, one woman to deal with my make up and a third wo
The entire family clapped their hands as soon as the youngest Thompson walked up to the stage and got her medical degree.The loud noice, claps and cheers caught Kaily's attention and she waved over to us with a shy smile in her face.From the moment she walked up on the stage to the moment she walked down, each of us showed our support.Lucy stood beside me, happily clapping her hands for my baby sister. It really surprised me when I saw the two walking into the sitting room together the night of Kaily's surprise party. But what shocked me more was the fact that those two have gotten closer to each other to the point that the two, including April were making plans to have a sleepover at April's old apartment.All of us sat down after Kaily was off the stage and I couldn't help but look around me.Every single Thompson was here including our grandmother Candis. Although, I was a bit surprised when she warmly greeted Lucy when we all met our front before we walked in.Lucy looked just
Karl Thompson...I looked down at the package Stuart just gave me as I was walking up to the front door of our house.It's addressed to my wife but since Stuart and Ethan were both aware about the stress we're dealing with thanks to Garzei Chaw, they had decided that they didn't want to stress her out. So, they waited for me to come home to give me the package.I walked through the long hall and then up the stairs to make my way to our shared bed room. But before I could reach out room, my eyes traveled over to the rest of the bedrooms and empty rooms on our floor.I glanced at our bed room door before walking past it. I silenced my footsteps and walked over to the next room which was the same room Lucy was staying at when she first came back home. I reached out for the door knob and twisted it open Seeing this room reminded me of that horrible night. Looking side way at the door, it almost made me feel like I need to rip it out. It made me feel like I need to rip out
Lucy Chaw...I sat at the back of the car with Ethan in the drivers seat.I scrolled through my phone, absently looking at the screen as I kept recalling the session I just had with Dr. Goodman.We didn't talk about anything different from the last session, although I did mention the shock of a life time when Karl and I found out that we were having twins. Dr. Goodman had congratulated me before she started analyzing me again. She had asked me questions I wasn't able to give answers to, like, why I was so freaked out when I realized that the baby was not just a baby but babies.I had tried to sum it up to hormones and move on but the look Dr. Goodman gave me made me really uncomfortable. It was as if she was telling me that most families with backgrounds like Karl and I wouldn't be upset if we have two or three kids come at us at once. So, why had I been so freaken upset.I sighed as I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.I had a pretty fun morning. Spending time w
