"Daddy, daddy, look!" We both turn to look at what Daniel and Daniella are yelling about. Miah sitting on the sand turns around and watches as the twins run around with a crab.
It has been three years and the kids have gotten so big. The twins are 2 and Miah is 5. Being such a big sister, she always watches out for them and helps with everything.
Samantha and Chris got married three months after we did and have a beautiful little girl Christina. Ironically, she looks just like Darren. Janet and Casper ended up getting engaged, but Janet got bored with him soon after and moved on.
Theresa quit when she found out Jake was screwing the secretary on the fourth floor, shortly after Darren came back to work. Then one night almost a year ago, Jake was driving in a storm, when he took a corner too fast in his Maserati and ended up slamming into a semi going 150. He had to have a close
I wake up in the early hours of the morning to hear a knock at the door. Actually, it's more like someone pounding on my door. The first thing I think of is that I'm about to be killed. Isn't this exactly like all those horror films start out?Getting out of bed, I notice the chill in the air and when I glance out the window, I see that the mist is still clinging to the backyard."Brrr." I shiver and struggle to find my slippers, before making my way to the front door.After retrieving them, I throw on my bathrobe and double check in the mirror to make sure that I'm respectable looking. When I look at myself, I almost wish that I hadn't. My blonde hair is all tangled and my usually blue eyes, are now tinged with red. The robe hides my curvy figure that so many men lust over here in Cold Springs. I do it intentionally, I'm very self-conscious about my breasts and hips that are too big.Shaking my he
Now that I'm back in the city, I realize that I should have got her name. Oh well, she is just a number in the scheme of things and I probably will never see her again anyways. There is just one thing bothering me about that woman. When we touched, I felt electricity course through my veins. Honestly, that is something I have never felt before with anyone. Matter of fact, I need to get her out of my system and one of the secretaries downstairs wants to meet me for a drink tonight. I intend to make her bow down to me and pray. After I get done with her, she won't remember ever being with another man. Who knows, maybe she will worship me. I let out a hearty laugh at that thought. The tow truck driver lets me off at the door and I give him a smile, "Hey, thanks man. Hope you have a good rest of your day." I turn around and I'm met by Celeste, who seems to be in a not so good mood.
I wake up refreshed and can't help but wonder if it was all a dream. Getting out of bed, I slip on my slippers and let Fluffy in. I noticed this morning that she wasn't in bed with me and figured that she must have gone out when the stranger was here. She doesn't like strangers, especially strange men.The Humane Society had informed me that she had been abused by her previous owners and the man was particularly cruel to her. Often hitting and kicking her whenever she got in the way. Fluffy my 8 year old Samoyed, is my best friend in the world. Sure, I have human friends, but she could never be replaced.Getting me through the roughest time in my life when my parents died two years ago, she was always there right by my side. My friend Samantha tried to help, but there is something to say for an animal who has empathy. When she passes away, I don't know how I will be able to deal with it. Hope
I wake up and realize that I didn't hear the alarm go off. "Fuck!" It's 7:15 and I have to be to work in 45 minutes. Usually I wake up at 6 and go to the gym first, take a shower and eat breakfast before going in. This morning though will screw up everything. No gym and no breakfast.Not having a choice, I have to skip the gym. Taking a shower is the number one priority, considering I smell like sex after last night. I guess I didn't realize just how tired I was. That is a mistake I can't afford this morning. My meeting with the owner is of the utmost importance.He is trying to decide if we downsize or expand the company. Depending on the numbers in my report, it could mean a big payout for me. Hoping that he decides on expansion, I prepare for the day with a shower and a donut from last night. When I grab the donut out of the brown paper bag, I notice the note discarded on
After taking a brief shower, I throw on a pair of jeans and a comfortable sweater before rejoining Samantha. Walking out, I over hear her on the phone, "Yes, that is perfect. We will be there in about two hours."I waltz out and sit down on the couch next to her, "What was that all about?""I just set up our weekend getaway. Today and tomorrow we are going to party hardy in New York City, so go pack a bag and I will meet you back here in about a half an hour. Make sure you bring a swim suit and the hottest outfit you have for the night clubs. Speaking of that, I need to run and grab a couple things from my place. Love ya." She gets up and lets herself out.What did I just get into? I find myself wondering before I rush to pack some things for the trip.Samantha has always been the type who goes off and just does whatever the hell she wants, when she wants. Her parents are well t
Hearing a siren from down at the street level, I wake up and get dressed. Looking out the bedroom window, I notice an accident just outside of my apartment building. It looks like a taxi hit a pedestrian. "Oh well, I guess they will look where they are going next time." After slipping on my gym shoes, I go down stairs to workout. Usually there are quite a few people here, but this morning no one is around. I work out in the eerie quiet and remember how busy it usually is. Matter of fact, at one point in time I had thought about getting a home gym put in my penthouse, but I don't like the clutter. When I'm done with my workout, I come back upstairs to take a shower and after I get dressed I find a yogurt in the fridge for breakfast. That reminds me, I need to get some groceries today. On that, I remember my mental note from yesterday about running by GNC and picking up some protein powder.
We find a nice place to eat and then for the rest of the afternoon we go shopping. When it gets dinner time, we grab a bite to eat at a sub shop down the street from the hotel. Afterwards, we go back to our suites and deposit our treasures from the day. Samantha bought me a whole new wardrobe today, I will owe her for a long time. At least, till I figure out a way of repaying her somehow. Although, at this rate, it will be awhile. Putting my things away and freshening up, I splash a little perfume on and make sure that my mascara hasn't smudged. While I apply a thin pink gloss on my lips, I daydream about Mr. Perfect. The stranger. After a few minutes, I hear Samantha knocking at the door and we leave for the night club. The minute we step out the doors of the hotel, we hear a whistle from the road and turn to see who it is. A couple men oggle us from a passing taxi and wave. We wave back and t
I yawn and stretch as I get off the couch and go to the fridge for something to make for dinner. That was a good movie, but I'm usually more of a horror type of guy. I love my slasher films, especially the older 80's ones. They just don't make movies like that anymore. Picking out all the stuff I need to make lasagna, I whip it all together and stick it in the oven. After setting the temperature, I take note of the time and remind myself that in an hour I have to take it out to cool. My stomach starts growling, so I take a bag of baked chips out of the pantry and a cup of coffee over to the couch. Turning on the news, I watch as the reporter talks about a shooting in China Town. The weather comes on next and I turn it off after finding out the weather for Sunday. I look at the time and realize that the lasagna should be about done. Getting up, I go to the kitchen and the aroma instantly hits me. Yep,
"Daddy, daddy, look!" We both turn to look at what Daniel and Daniella are yelling about. Miah sitting on the sand turns around and watches as the twins run around with a crab. It has been three years and the kids have gotten so big. The twins are 2 and Miah is 5. Being such a big sister, she always watches out for them and helps with everything. Samantha and Chris got married three months after we did and have a beautiful little girl Christina. Ironically, she looks just like Darren.

"Hey Baby, where's my tux? The rehearsal is in an hour? I have looked all over and can't find it."Smiling, I answer. "Don't you remember? It's in the back of the car already, along with my wedding gown and Miah's dress.It's Saturday, the morning of the wedding and everything has fallen in place. Ben and Kathy talked to the Minister and made sure that it is all absolutely perfect. Samantha and Chris are in town, staying at the hotel. They are going to meet us at the rehearsal and Darren's mom Elizabeth and his sister Shana are already in town too, staying next door to Samantha and Chris.Yes, I feel bad for them, because I know damn well that Samantha and Chris made a lot of noise all night. She really wanted to have a double wedding with us, but Darren was firm on the fact that he wanted all eyes on me only today. Excited, I'm practically jumping out of my skin.I am sure glad that we did
On Thursday morning, we wake up as usual with two exceptions. Instead of driving to work, Lauryn does and I watch Miah. Now the only time we need the babysitter is when we want to be alone, at least until I find another corporate position. I hear the phone ring, taking it out of my pocket I see that it's from Mr. Reynolds. "It's all taken care of. You are officially the sole parents of Miah and you will never hear from Jaiden again. Apparently they found her body hanging from the jail cell. I was told that she supposedly hung herself with her bed sheet." Standing up and pacing, I ask, "Did you file a lawsuit with the Chronicle?" "Yes and as soon as I did, their lawyers offered up a settlement. Will you take a formal apology on the front page of the newspaper and twenty million dollars for compensation? I told them I would have to talk it over with you, but figured the sum was too low considering you lost a multi
Janet told me all about Darren resigning. I just wish I had heard it from him first. What happened? I know that he was on the front page of the newspaper and somehow Jaiden set it up, but why did he have to leave?Struggling through the rest of the day, I wait till it's time to go home. Looking at the clock, I see that it's 2 minutes to 5 and I start packing up my things. I hear a knock at the door and thinking it's Darren, rush over to it. Unfortunately, it's Jake with a big shitty ass grin on his face."So, do you need a ride home? I assume you heard the news." Staring at me, he sits down in the chair by my desk. Patting my chair and motioning for me to sit down, I walk over to it and take a seat.Sighing, I listen as he tells me all about it. "Lauryn, I can't believe he did this to you. He has made your relationship a scandal, even though it's not true. How could he drag you into th
It's Wednesday. Waking up to my beautiful fiance, I smile and kiss her good morning. Last night was a hit and I am so glad she enjoyed it. We needed some romance in our relationship after everything that has been going on.Getting up and going downstairs to work out, I notice that strangely no one is here again, so I quickly do my routines. Getting back upstairs in record time, I find her waiting on the couch for me so we can take a shower together."Baby, let's go get a shower, I have something I want to give you." Looking down at my erection, she smiles and nods.I take her hand and lead her into the shower. Grabbing a bottle of body wash and turning on the shower, I pour the liquid on her shoulders and watch it slip down her voluptuous body. Soaping her up, she stares at me with lust in her eyes. I feel her hands grab my balls and pull me to her.Leaning down, I cup a breast in each hand and s
Walking in the door, Darren yells out. "Where is Karen?" He runs around the apartment looking for her. Hearing her name, she comes out of the kitchen looking startled, because she had been making popcorn before they came in.Looking up at him, she asks. "What's going on?"Relieved, Darren calms down and I wonder why he is so jumpy in the first place. Did he get a note too or did he find out something he isn't telling me? Deciding to let it go for now, I thank Karen and send her home after paying her.Letting my hair down, I relax and go make sure Miah is tucked in. Carefully opening the door, I peek in and watch her sleep peacefully. Smiling, I close her door and go to the bedroom where Darren is.Sitting on the bed, he stares at me as I come in the door. The look on his face is one of a man who needs to de-stress. Stripping, I stand in front of him and run my hands down my side
Tuesday morning rolls around and when I wake up I feel a little off. Not being able to put my finger on it, I get up to do my workout. Lauryn is sound asleep, so I wait a few minutes to wake her up. Instead, I go to the bathroom and get my workout clothes on first.Once I'm ready to go downstairs, I wake her up with a kiss. When her eyes open and she smiles, I start to feel better. She reaches up and pulls me down on her, hugging me and kissing me. "Good Morning, my wonderful husband." She smiles and continues, "Just thought I would try that one on for size."Loving the way that sounds coming from her lips, I kiss her again and then go down to complete my workout. Working up a sweat, I grab a towel and move to the next machine, but when I sit down I watch as Celeste walks in. Great, that's all I need right now.She walks over to me just as soon as she spots me and purrs my name. "Darren, who
After chasing around Miah all day Sunday, I finally got a decent amount of sleep. However, waking up this morning for work, I feel like I didn't sleep at all and it's only Monday. I wonder just how much paperwork will be waiting for me on my desk when I get in.At least yesterday we brought my car back here, so I wouldn't have to rely on Darren to get me everywhere and we hired a babysitter for Miah to start this morning. Opening the door to her room, I watch her sleep peacefully and wait for Darren to get back from doing his workout. When I hear him open the front door, I shut hers carefully as to not wake her and go find Darren.Finding him in the bathroom, I join him in the shower. The steam feels so good on my neck and back especially when he comes up behind me and picks me up. When he places my back against the wall, I wrap my legs around his waist and he kisses me with urgency.Feeling his erection poking me in the
Driving back to the city, we decide how to proceed with everything. Letting Lauryn do the talking, I sit back and drive while she calls Jaiden and informs her that we will be meeting her a bit later than initially decided. Of course, she isn't happy, but eventually agrees. Feeling confident that everything will work out, I look over at Lauryn and smile.Her face is lit up by the sun and she looks absolutely radiant. How lucky am I to have a woman who is willing to take in another child that isn't her own and love her? I thought for sure I was going to have to let Miah go. She glances at me and returns a beautiful Lauryn smile. For a few minutes we sit quietly driving, then she asks me a question. "Why would you have given up your child for me? I thought she was your everything, what happened?" Mulling it over, I answer eventually, "Well, I realized that I wasn't willing to lose you over this. Yo
