“ Nothing” he says and didn’t leave my hand, I didn’t struggle as well” He pulls up somewhere not far from the dock. The Toto was beautiful. Gleaming white, it hovered in the water as Alex led me along the jetty. It was a narrow, long craft with a pointed bow and a riotously red racing stripe across its side. He open his palm for me to “What is it?” he said. But his grumpy tone just made me laugh even more. “Toto?” I said, incredulously. “As in, the little dog from the Wizard of Oz.” “I didn’t pick the name,” he said. “Besides,” he added quickly, “it’s bad luck to change the name of a ship. Don’t you know that?” “Aye aye captain,” I replied cheerily, and felt more than a little pride when I heard Alex growl under his breath. I loved teasing him. It had become my way of showing affection towards him. “Come on,” he said. “I thought I’d take you for a spin today.” He reached out a hand, and I took it and stepped down into the hull of the boat. Inside it was more comfortable than I
“NOT SO FAST,” replied Riley. “70 MILES AN HOUR? I CAN GO FASTER IF YOU LIKE?”“NO!” I said. “THIS IS FINE!”As we passed under Brooklyn Bridge and came up by midtown, I felt the boat slowing, and eventually, I saw the prow of the boat bend down as we came level with the water. Completely unfazed by the incredible speed at which we’d been traveling, Riley steered the boat into the harbor, towards a jetty on Manhattan’s side of the East River.Once we’d come to a stop by the jetty, he pulled up a rope by the deck, and looped it into a lasso. He lobbed the knot over the side of the boat, and I watched, amazed by the accuracy of his throw, as the rope landed over one of the capstans on the jetty and Riley pulled it tight. And once again, I savored the view, the curves of his muscular arms and strong shoulders, and felt an amazing sense of triumph at having been carried across land and sea by Lowe.***The car felt still and peaceful after the incredible time on the speedboat. He drove u
We all went in, I told them to go and shower then they can come downstairs for lunch.They return downstairs after few minutes then we all sat at the table to eat as we eat, we kept stealing glances at each other.RILEY.I stare at my beautiful family then I thought of doing something, I brought out my cellphone, I took selfie of us eating then I send it to my grandmom with a text added to it.“ Your grandkids and their mom, we are working towards getting married” I sent it to my grandma then I heard my Harry says to me.“ bad habit” I look towards them.“ Yeah, you don’t press your phone while eating” He says.“ Okay Champs”I said and drop my cellphone.my Cellphone beeped and I was going to pick it.“ Dad, we just told you what bad habit is” Harry says.“Okay Champs and I already noted that” I said.We finished eating then the maid came to clear the table.

When I started working for him , he never walks far away from me. I am sure he is cheating on me.Did I just say he is cheating on me? He isn’t my husband.Not long the car stopped. He got down, he help me out then the kidsWe got to the restaurant. I recognized it immediately from something I’d seen on TV once. It was one of those super-fancy places with Michelin stars and tiny plates of food. I’d seen them before.“You ever go to Panera Bread?” I asked Riley, as we were seated at one of the tables, and the menus, heavy and dark with black leather cases, were slipped onto our laps.Riley laughed. I loved it when he laughed and the sound was warm and rich. We’d been seated in a private room in the restaurant.“That’s a good one,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve been for about ten years.”“You know,” I whispered conspiratorially, “the food probably isn’t as good as here, but the bill’s about a hundred times smaller.”“I get that,” said Rley. “But money doesn’t really matter to me. Even if

I undress myself and imagine it was Riley pulIing down my gown and kissing me, I went to the shower and went to bed.I kept tossing around , I couldn’t sleep very well , I couldn’t get over our kisses, I raise my finger and stare at the diamond ring on my finger. I never thought I would be wearing a diamond ring not just anyone’s diamond ring, Riley’s Diamond ring on my finger.It took me a wile before I drifted to sleep.RILEY.I undress and went to bed, I lay in the bed imagining her undressing me and straddling me.
