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
After going through some mails, I return the bedroom,I took off my clothes and climbed into bed. I laid beside her, I kept staring into her face and thinking about Steph and how serious she was about her own death. How could she think of such things? The more I thought about it, the more it made sense; death has always been a part of her life. I tossed and turned. I tried to get comfortable, but I couldn’t. I got out of bed and slowly walked to sit o one of the couches in my room. I kept staring at her and thinking of how she had resided to fate even before the Chemo. Tears began to sting my eyes, I shut my eyes and did my best to push back my tears. I stood up and walk to her, I lay my head beside her chest to be sure she was still breathing. I kept checking her time to time before finally going to lay beside her and pull her into cuddle. The next morning, I woke up before her, I showered and headed to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. I called the bakery down the street and had a
Dan looked at me and smiled. “That’s a three to three hour thirty minutes drive if you drive non stop, are you sure you can do that ?”“I know, I am trying to fulfil so many things on her bucket list before her Chemo.”Dan continued looking at me. “Is driving long hours on her bucket list?”“ Yes, just enjoy your days off while I spend more time with steph” I said as I walked to the Range Rover. I turn around to Dan.“I’m driving myself to the office today. Take Steph wherever she wants to go, but I do have a meeting at 1:00 pm across town, so I’ll need you to pick me up.”Instead of heading straight to the office, I called Dr. Peters and asked him if he was available to see me. I needed to talk to him about this upcoming road trip. He told me to come right in since his first appointment wasn’t scheduled for another hour. I walked into his office and sat down in my usual chair.“Good morning, Dean. Is everything alright? You said it was urgent.”I took in a deep breath as I ran my han
“Don’t you trust me,” she asked and look at me.“You said you took too hot of a bath,” I asked, holding a dress in my hand. She stopped packing her bag and looked at me. I could see the anger in her eyes. “I did, Dean, I can’t believe you now doubt me?”I could see that I had upset her, and that’s the last thing I wanted to do. I walked over to her and put my hands on her shoulders. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you,” I said as I looked into her pained eyes. She took her hands and cupped my face. I held her hand and kissed them“I’m sorry that I raised my voice; I’m just tired,” she said.She pull awy her hand and keep packing, while I stop her, I help her to go sit then show her things to pack for the trip, when I was finally done, I zip up the suitcase. I grabbed her arm and turned her around, pulling her into me and holding her tight.She needed to know that I was sorry. . I didn’t say a word and neither did she. She kept her arms wrapped around me and her head on my shoulder
“ I saw her got out of your car few days ago,I just didn’t want to mention it” She said.I stare at her and didn’t know what explanation to give to her but thank God the doorbell rang, and I got up to answer it. I brought the food with a couple of plates and silverware over to the couch. I’ve never eaten on the couch before, but it seemed like the right thing to do with Steph. She’s always been casual about everything. I handed her a fork, but she asked me for chopsticks instead. I looked in the bag, pulled out a pair, and handed them to her. I opened up the Mongolian beef and started to put some on my plate. Steph gave me a weird look.What are you doing?” she asked.I looked at her strangely because what did it look like I was doing? “Um...serving dinner,” I said.She shook her finger from side to side as she took the carton from my hand and told me to grab the extra set of chopsticks. I tried to explain to her that I didn’t know how to use chopsticks, but she wouldn’t listen, she n
