"NATALIE", a warm presence gave me a tight hug, as I got a sympathetic look from Nolan. "Mom, don't suffocate my wife", I beamed at the words that came out of his mouth. He had called me his wife, instead of "that girl" or just my name. "I can tell you two are getting along well", she exclaimed, as I blushed and glanced at Nolan who was looking right back at me. "It is", he said as my stomach churned with butterflies, and sprinkles. I was definitely on Cloud 9 and I wasn't ever coming down. His hands slipped to my hands as he squeezed my hand once. His mom invited us in as I looked around and saw familiar faces from the wedding. Until I felt a little figure hugging my legs. "Your here", a loud, but sweet voice squealed as I looked down at my feet to see the little girl from the wedding Leah. She looked up at me as she kept hugging my tight legs. "We can play with my action figures and go to the park and so much more", Leah squealed as I heard Mrs. Clemente chuckle at Leah's lov
His eyes showed a strong blue, his lips a light pink, and his eyes oh I just always came back to them. His blue pearl eyes traced mine as I admired each one of his features. His shaggy hair, along with each bristle of brown hair. He was hot and our moments where he tested and challenged me were even hotter. He slowly leaned his head in. My moment was coming, it was my moment and to believe I actually wanted it. I lifted my head just a bit, I wanted the whole deal. Fireworks and butterflies filling my stomach. "ooo", a tiny voice echoed as Nolan raised his head and quickly got off me. There go my fireworks, bye-bye. I peeked at the door and saw Leah, standing there with a smile and teddy close to her chest. "Leah", Nolan looked disappointed, the feeling was mutual, buddy. His head went straight into his hands as he brushed his luscious brown locks. "What, mommy told me to call you for dessert", she said not making the situation any better. I wanted the experience of a first kiss, w
Dessert, my favorite food group, the brownies, cakes, all the funky ways you can introduce chocolate. Platters after platters, filled with cookie assortments, brownie stacks, and cakes that go as high as the diamond chandelier. This wasn't just your average stop at the bakery, this was the whole frickin bakery. My eyes dazed as I felt overwhelmed by all the new colors and sweets that were ready to dive into my stomach. "You look dazed", I didn't even notice Nolan standing there, watching me fantasize about sweets. I nervously laughed, waiting for him to either stop staring or for me to step on his expensive shoes. "I could make you feel that way, every night", he whispered into my ear leaving me crippling inside. He didn't have a right to say that to mess with my love for cake, not everything's about him. We may be married by law, but never for love. I couldn't stand him. "That's why I have my desserts, not everything's about you Clementé", it was true, he seemed like the world re
I wished I didn't have baggage.I wished I didn't have to worry about being publicly shamed. I wished I didn't have to worry about whether my sister was going to have a meal, while I ate plenty. I wished I didn't have rules, I wished that I ran a long time ago. I wished I could tell someone, every little issue bugging me.And as I watched Nolan play on the field with the little boys, I wished he could be that person, I wanted him to be.But at the end of the day I couldn't be that person that he wanted me to be, he had introduced me to his whole world, his family, his friends and I had no one and nothing that I was proud of.I frantically paced the small garden surrounded by grape bushes, my fingers curled in my hand feeling almost numb. I ran my hands along the soft white stone that outlined statues of Greek gods and goddesses."Hey you okay?", a male, older voice said from the vineyards as I looked out at Alison and Clay talking a walk through the vines of grapes."Yes, just n
"A date, HE ASKED YOU ON A DATE", Avery squealed as I told her to hush down because her voice echoed throughout the building."It's better than him ignoring me", she didn't hear my ecstatic voice and took a seat next to me."Isn't that weird, him and I dating while we're married?", I asked her, sharing a constant fear in my mind. I wasn't worried about what others would say, but how would I talk to him about it, like we're married but dating, how does that happen, we're already "commuted until death do us part" so how does this make a difference."My mom and dad go on dates all the time, just think of it like you are dating with rings, or just remember you can break up with him any second, just your break up includes more papers", she tried calming me down, which only made me freak out that maybe this was the last straw before he divorced me."You're not making me feel better", I chuckled at her attempt to soothe my bothered mind."I mean he likes you, so don't worry ", she tried
I woke up prepared for our magical date.Little did I know that one date, he would 'have expectations of what I would look like how I would act' Avery texted me as she asked me to meet her at the mall. How would I ever measure up to fashion models, I was simply just an average girl, far below average. They were unfitting expectations, that I simply couldn't fit.I pulled myself off the kitchen chair as I looked around for Nolan, who had mysteriously taken off, with a wide grin plastered on his chiseled face. I sat in the same spot for the past 20 minutes just looking like an idiot, a drooling idiot.Mrs. Johnson, the housekeeper wandered into the kitchen as she handed me an envelope."Mr. Clementé wanted you to have this, he said buy whatever you want", I ripped open the envelope to see what it was as I pulled out an elite black card. It was dazzling and sparkling, as I examined it closer.Nolan's and Nat's TextsNolan- Did you get my gift?Natalie- Yes, I did I don't need it I
I twirled in the mirror as my eyes shined brighter than the sun. I looked happy, the color made me smile and the subtle shade of blue made my face be illuminated."I love it", Avery squealed as she rushed to the shoes taking me with her. She picked out some heels for me as I tried to walk in them."Are you messing with me?", Avery asked, staring at my feet as I held the railing of the shoe cabinet. I lost my balance and landed straight on the ground."I don't know how to walk in heels, okay", I told her as she looked at me surprised. As a daughter of a CEO, it was practically mandatory to attend all the banquets and the meetings If I were to take over the business, but my father had other plans. He instead left me at home and when people asked where I was, he'd say I had run away or was off doing something stupid, but what I was doing was scrubbing the ground."Okay, then here we can get some flats", she handed me a pair of flats as I took them. We then paid and left the store.—
His hand wrapped around my hand as I took it eagerly. His hand squeezed mine as I saw the look of excitement in his eyes. As we walked out of the driveway I could see a glimmer of light, shining on where we're walking. His smile glimmered as I studied his eyes, as he checked to make sure everything was their, I could tell he wanted this to be perfect.The glimmer of light, was a beautiful car, and trust me I knew my cars. I may have not known how to walk in heels but I definitely know how to drive stick.He heard my slight gasp, at the model and pristine of the car, as he chuckled at my reaction. I was a surprising girl, definitely one that wooed minds, including my own."How did you afford this car, this must cost you millions, to keep in this good of a condition",I examined the wheels and the paint job done on the right. He opened the door waiting for me to climb in, but I just couldn't help but glare at the interior of the car."I'm surprised you know this car", he responded,
