STEPHANIE.After getting home, I sat in my bed and weep then my cellphone rang, it was a call from my dad.“ Dad? I called out softly.“ How are you doing? I am fine.“I am sorry dad, I promise to bring you back to the states, I promise to do Everything in my power to bring you back to states” he said.“ Honey, your mom is ill and it’s so critical, we need to take good care of her” .“ Okay , I promise to send you some money”I said.“We need to bring her to states to care for her, I know you do not have that kind of money, I have saved up a bit but because I am deported it might be a little bit difficult” my dad said.I began to think of all my savings when I began to hear someone banging on the door, I could hear his voice, he was calling my name, I tried calculating and ask my dad how much we needed. I didn’t have that amount,I began to weep because I can’t help but I will have to raise some money.After so much bangs on my door, he forced the door open and enter into my apartment
I changed into a casual wear,I went to the kitchen to make some fresh juice for Stephanie while I pour some wine for myself. I join her where she was drawing, I went to kiss her on her chin, she look up at me, she smile at me. “I can’t believe I am getting popular with my arts, I never know someday I will earn with this”I said.“ Maybe you should focus on artwork, what do you think? I said while drawing.“The pay doesn’t come the time , I still need a steady job because if I get paid from this artwork, I am thinking of bringing in my family” she said.“You should focus on this who knows if you will own a gallery soon” I said and sip my drink.She looked at me and smile, my hope but that cost a lot” She said.We chatted for a while before leaving her alone so she could focus on her job, I checked for some properties for her family because they would need to stay somewhere when they arrive then I check some first class hospital that would treat her mom better.Although I paid triple for
I looked at him and sit, he could see my worries, “I am glad I found Stephanie, she is so different. She’s grown and she’s proven to be strong, She’s more beautiful, kind, giving, sweet, strong, and hardworking, and quite a smart ass, I lov her more and I do not want to loose her one problem I have now is Ashley, she is a kind of thorn in a flesh.”Dr. Peters leaned forward and rested his elbows on his thighs. “Does she know about Ashley? He asked and I shifted in my seat and sighed. “Yes but to an extent.”“I think you should tell her the everything about Ashley?”“Dr. Peters, I pay you $1,000 an hour to tell me what my problem is, I want a better solution because I don’t want her to go away from me.”He leaned back in his chair and removed his glasses. “You want my honest opinion? I think there should be no secret ifyou trully love her, tell her every secrets tht you have been hiding from her”“She could go away from me, those secrets could scare her away from me”“If you don’t tell

Stephanie.Hearing that I have cancer sounds like I was dying the next day, I fought Dean before agreeing to go for the test, if he didn’t persist I wouldn’t have known I was dying.He cuddled me until I drifted into sleep, I woke up few hours later and I found him searching the internet for home remedies for cancer.I burst into tears again and he pull me closer. “ Hey, we will make appointment for your Chemo.“ I am scared”she says.“ Don’t be scared you will be fine” he said.The following day, he called the doctor to make an appointment for us for the beginning of the Chemotherapy.I didn’t even know we trend for the kisses we used in getting Ashley jealous. It was Dan who showed me the picture,we were not interested in the trending picture because we have so much on our mind. MY mom called and ask about who the girl I the picture was,I told her I will let her meet her.I want her to be fine before taking her to my mom.DEAN.We met with the doctor and they gave us sixty days to b
I took my coffee and headed into my office to look over the paperwork before my meeting at company. My phone chimed and there was a text message from Steph.“Good morning, Dean. I slept well, and I’m feeling fine; thank you for your concern. I hope you have a terrific day, and don’t work too hard!”I smiled as I read her words. I quickly replied. “I’m glad you’re feeling fine, and I always work hard; it’s why I’m as successful as I am.”“I believe that, and thank you for taking care of me every night. I owe you one!”I looked at my watch, and if I didn’t get going, I was going to be late for my meeting. I quickly responded back to her. “You deserve better my Queen, see you at dinner!”“See you soon Dean.”I stepped out into the hallway where Ashley was waiting for me.“Dan is waiting in the limo for us,” she said.“That’s where he waits every day, Ashley,” I sighed.We climbed into the limo, and Ashley made her attempts on me. She leaned over and grabbed my tie.“Why don’t we get toge
I loved the ambiance, then I was thinking she would talk about Ashley but I could see she doesn’t want to speak about Ashley. I thought of telling her about my secret with Ashley but she place a finger on my lips that she doesn’t want to speak about Ashley.I already told Dan to drop my range for me and return home which he did.I didn’t want to ruin the beautiful mood before her Chemo. After the dinner, I held her hand and we walked to the garage, as we drive, I drove past the beach and she told me to stop that we should go to the beach.“It’s dark my love” I said.“ Do this for me please” I nodded and drove back to the beach.. I was furious at her for doing this but I needed to make her happy.I put the Range Rover in park and got out. The air was quite warm for this time of year. The ocean looked beautiful at night with the moonlight shining down, illuminating each wave that pushed its way to the shore. I can see why she wanted to come here. She run down by the edge of the water a
I open the bedroom door and saw her parents and siblings at the door. They stare at me, I look back to Steph sleeping peacefully, her Dad pat me on my shoulder. “She is as sleep,”I said. They all came to embrace me. “ Thank you” they all said.“ Are you sleeping over?You can stay with her” Her dad said.“I need to go back home and put some things together” I said. Se needs to stay happy and positive before her Chemo” I said.“ Thanks a lot” her dad said. He followed me out of the room and walk me to my range rover.“ Dean” he called out.“ I am sorry for the way I reacted to you in the past” He said.“ You were only trying to protect steph” I said.“You are a good man, if my daughter survive this , you both have my blessings” He said.“ I believe she will survive this” I said. He pull me into his embrace and after a while he pulled away. I bid him good night and climb into the driver’s seat.I drove back home and began to prepare for the following day’s meeting so that I could spend
DEANIt was the best birthday that I’ve ever had. We celebrated at the beach house with about 70 close friends and family members. I made the announcement about Dean’s pregnancy, and the whole room beamed with excitement. I still couldn’t believe it myself, and every time I looked at her, she was glowing. Dean had arranged it so the party was mainly outside between the patio and the beach. It was a beautiful summer evening. When the last of the guests left, Steph turned and looked at me.“I’m exhausted,” she said as she fell into my arms.“Thank you for the wonderful party,” I said as I kissed her on top of her head.“Have I told you lately that I love you?” she smiled as she looked up at me.“You tell me every day over and over again,” I smiled back as I picked her up. I held her as she wrapped her legs around me and grinned.“I love you, and I will never let you go. We are forever, Mrs. Melile, and nothing will ever change that.” I kissed her as I carried her into the house and upst
“Baby, as much as I want to have lunch with you, I can’t.”“Why not?”“I’m with my sister Ally, and we’re going shopping. She came over, and she’s feeling a little down, so I told her shopping will lift her spirits.”“Why is she down? Is everything ok with her and Henry?” he asked.“Oh yeah, it’s just her time of the month; you know how that goes.”“Enough said, Steph. Have fun, and I’ll see you tonight. I love you.”“I love you too, Dean, bye.”Ally looked at me and started laughing. “You’re good,” she said.We arrived at the hospital, and I headed to the lab to have my blood drawn. The nurse told me that Dr. Nathan gave strict instructions to have me come upstairs to his office and wait for the results. After my blood was drawn, we stopped at the Starbucks inside the hospital and grabbed some coffee before heading up to his office. I was a nervous wreck. I felt bad for lying to Dean, but I had no choice.There was no need to worry him until I got some answers. We patiently waited in
“You never cease to amaze me, Dean Melville, and that’s why I love you so much. This song is perfect, and I couldn’t have picked anything better,” she said as one tear fell. I wiped away her tear and kissed her cheek.I wanted to get Steph out of there and to her wedding present. We said goodbye to our family and friends as we climbed in the back of the limo, and I took out a blindfold from my pocket. Steph looked at me and tilted her head.“Planning a little kinky time in the limo before we go back to the hotel?” She smiled.Steph thought we were spending the night at the Waldorf. She didn’t know what I had planned for us. She didn’t even know about the limo until I told her we had to leave.“I’m taking you somewhere special, and it’s a surprise, so you need to wear this blindfold,” I said as I put it over her eyes.“Aren’t we spending the night at the hotel?”“No, Steph, I have somewhere else in mind,” I said as my hand started traveling up her dress.“You are a very mysterious man,
“Dean,” my mom said as she walked over to me, “You look so handsome. I thought I’d never see this day,” she smiled.“I didn’t think that I would either, mom,” I said.Our mom took their seats in the front row as Henry and I headed down the aisle to take our place in front of the archway. Steph’s dad stepped outside the gates to meet Steph as her limo pulled up. Dr.Peters nodded and smiled as he and his wife sat down. I stood there next to Henry as a nervous wreck.“You’re not nervous; are you?” Henry asked.“I’m nervous as hell,” I replied.He put his hand on my shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Steph’s the woman of your dreams, and you’re finally making her your wife. You’re one lucky man, Dean.”I nervously smiled at him. “Just wait until you’re standing in my place, waiting for Peyton to walk down the aisle.”“Good point,” he said as he cocked his head to the side.The orchestra began playing as Steph’s sister, Steph’s maid of honor, slowly walked down the aisle. I looked at Henry as a
“Are you cooking, Ashley?” I asked as I put my hands on her h*ps and kissed her.“Yes, and you’re going to eat it, whether you like it or not,” she smiled.“I’ll eat anything from you,” I winked. She hit me on the arm and turned to the oven. I grabbed a couple of glasses, filled them with wine, and set them on the table. Steph took a chicken pot pie out of the oven and set it in the middle of the table.“My mom used to make this for my dad and me. It was his favorite. I’ve kept the recipe with me all these years. I started making it for him when I was only nine years old,” she said as she sat down across from me.“You cooked dinner for your father at the age of nine?” I asked.“It was either that, or he didn’t eat. I always knew that would be the one dish he would eat.”I looked at her and shook my head. I couldn’t believe that drunken bastard would let his child cook and use the oven at the age of nine. I needed to tell her about Ashley, and I guess now’s as good as time as any. I de
“I love you so much, and I’m so happy everything turned out right today. I was so scared for you, Steph,” I said as my eyes swelled with tears.She tilted her head and wiped away the tears that were falling down my face. “I know, babe, and I’m so sorry I put you through that. But we have our whole life in front of us, and we need to set a wedding date. I can’t wait to marry you and become Mrs. Steph,” she smiled. I picked her up from the counter and held her firmly by her ass as I kissed her and carried her to the bedroom for round two.We said goodbye to Mason and Landon as they drove us to the airport. All three of them cried as we said our goodbyes. I looked at Mason and Landon seriously.“When the two of you come to California, which I know will be frequently to see Steph; you are to call me first to let me know because I’ll send the company plane to get you. I don’t want you flying commercial.”Steph smiled at me as both Landon and Mason agreed. They were such good friends to Ste
Dr. Ray sent over a script to Dr. Nathan so Steph didn’t have to wait to get her blood work done.She had lengthy conversations with Dr. Nathan during Steph’s treatment period to ensure he was fully aware of everything going on. He told us that she should have the results in about three days. We flew to N.Y the day before her results were supposed to come back. Steph wanted to spend time with Mason and Landon. She seemed to be doing fine until I woke up at 3:00 am, and she was gone.I rolled over and opened my eyes; her side of the bed was empty. I got up and searched the apartment for her. Where the hell is she? I thought as I ran my hand through my hair. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, but it went straight to voicemail. I sighed as I put on a pair of jeans and a shirt. I grabbed my shoes and got in the Porsche. I sat there with my hands on the steering wheel, trying to figure out where she’d go. It’s 3:00 am, and she’s out in Los Angeles all alone. I was pissed now, beca
She looked at me and cocked her head. “Maybe I can a little,” she said. I sighed as I stared into her eyes. “So, all this time you pretended you that you didn’t know how to skate? Why?”“Because I liked the idea of you holding me and protecting me,” she innocently answered.“Steph!” I exclaimed as I let go of her, and she smiled at me.She started skating backwards holding out her hands as I stood there. “Come on, big boy; come and get me,” she smiled as she took off around the rink. I skated after her as Ally,Steph’s Sister and Henry stood to the side and laughed. She was fast. I couldn’t believe she tricked me, but that made her more irresistible.I caught up with her and grabbed her from behind. I pushed her up against the side of the railing and kissed her passionately. We were both out of breath as our tongues tangled, and our cold lips started to warm. “You’re a very bad girl, Steph, and I think you need to be punished,” I smiled.“You’re going to punish me here, right in front
“I guess I’m just scared,” she whispered.“Don’t worry, baby. Everything is going to work out; you just wait and see,” I said right before we fell fast asleep.A couple of weeks later, I felt the emptiness on Steph’s side of the bed as I rolled over. I opened my eyes and noticed that it read 4 am on the clock. I looked around the dark room; the only shadow of light was coming from the clock. I got out of bed, put on my pajama bottoms, and walked downstairs to find Steph, sitting at her easel and painting. I walked over to her as she turned her head and looked at me.“I’m sorry, babe, I hope I didn’t wake you,” she said softly.“No, you didn’t wake me, but why aren’t you sleeping?” I asked as I slipped my arms around her shoulders.“I couldn’t sleep. I have too much on my mind, and painting always helps me clear my head.”“You need to talk to me, Steph. Please tell me what’s on your mind,” I said as I kissed the top of her head.”“It’s nothing to worry about. I’ve just been thinking ab
