The smell of smoke, filled my nostrils as I snapped out from the reality of sleep, I woke up to the eyes that I waited for all through the night, he confidently sat in the chair across from me admiring my body form. He seemed to have stayed awake all night, but he didn't show it. He looked pissed and still almost, but his eyes moved with mine as they trailed along with his clothes he wore last night. I adjusted my arm as my eyes went back to the cancer stick in his very own hand, I knew he was stressed, I could see how uneasy he was, by his harsh look that followed my every move.I adjusted my eyes as they began to adapt to the shining light from the open windows. I moved my legs to the edge of the couch and adjusted myself as I stretched my back, his eyes followed mine."I made strawberries", I said as I got up and headed to the fridge to grab them hoping it would cheer him up."Have one, they're even fun to watch someone eat, see", I took the strawberry as his eyes followed my ha
His gaze dropped to mine, suddenly as I was lost in his eyes, that had shown me another side. Alison crept out of the kitchen and Avery followed us leaving me uncomfortably searching the ground, instead of facing his fiery eyes. yesI fumbled with my hands as I shyly brought my head up as I saw his eyes shooting cupid arrows across the island."Outside", he pointed as he stepped out, and I followed him. He cracked the door open as he sent the guards in the area away giving us the privacy we deserved, he led me to the treehouse, the treehouse, where I had shown my trust in him, but right now it lacked.I followed him as he climbed on the shaking ladder, he went up gracefully. He sneaked glances, to make sure I had made it alright, I pulled myself up and he took my hand up.We stood there, lost, stuck. Until the first words flowed out of his mouth, his calming voice not in rage made me feel safe and secured."I'm sorry", he pleaded as his eyes locked with mine, his eyes wandered my
My life had changed in simply a week, and it was crazy, Nolan and I decided that we should stay at his mom's house, and every night it was a party. We both worked from home clinging to each other every moment we had gotten, and the party of the year had been moved to the next week after, or when we found out who was behind all of this.I helped with the finances and a little with the case and today was just the beginning of this crazy rollercoaster we were on."Baby, It's time to wake up", a calming voice next to me kissed my neck. His warm kisses woke me up as his cold hands flipped me to face him."Good Morning", He said as he kissed my chapped lips, and made them soft. He kissed my forehead as I adjusted to the bright sunlight from the window."I made pancakes", he said as he brought over the tray filled with pancakes, syrup, and topped with blueberries and strawberries. This past week he had been doing everything to make me happy, that most of the time it scared me. He was try
"Honey get on the boat", we tried to persuade Leah to get on the boat as she looked from the peer, nobody knew of her fear of boats, until now. It was impossible to live in Seattle and not go on ferry boats, but Leah she had never gone. Her teary eyes wept as she focused on the rushing water from under the dock, she shrieked with horror as she heard the water collide beneath her."Nolan is still here, Natawee we have to stay", she complained as I felt strongly against leaving, what if he needed help or got hurt no one would be there to confront him when he's sick. He had told me that he would only worry if I was there, and If I wasn't he wouldn't have to worry, but it left me worrying every hour, every minute, every second, he was all alone, surrounded by millions of people he didn't know."He gave me a phone we can call him I promise", I tried to reason with her as everyone watched as she and I were left on the deck. Alison looked worried as Leah shook her head impatiently."Promi
Natalie's POVHe hates me I interfered with something, I shouldn't have, but he promised me no secrets and sometimes you just have to unravel those secrets on your own. He's on a suicide mission and he knows it. And that's why I've been trying to turn this goddamn boat around."I SAID TURN THE BOAT AROUND", I yelled at the captain as he held onto the shift as I ordered him to turn it around, Nolan was being stupid, and careless, and selfish."Natalie, you need to calm down", hands rubbed my back as nothing calmed down, my burning anger only intensified as I listened to the shushes that were supposedly gonna calm me down."How am I supposed to be calm right now", I yelled as I turned my back towards the captain as I stared into Avery's grieving eyes."You just need too, please", she only made me angrier as I brushed her off and made my way downstairs. Tyler bumped into me as I knew he knew a way to get off this boat."Tell me that I'm wrong", I stopped as he passed me, he stopped
Days passed, people passed by and the burning feeling of grief lit inside of me. People from all over the world came by bringing flowers and blessings. He had impacted so many lives, people I hadn't known about. Organizations dropped by thanking him for all the work he did and hoped for a speedy recovery. All these people prayed and prayed, but every day I woke up waiting to see his daring eyes, I began to lose faith. I got out of my broken in cot and leaned against his hospital bed.I grabbed my flip phone, he had wanted me to have and I clicked my second to last voicemail, listening to it till I felt sleepy, but today I didn't feel sleepy, but I felt guilty. Listening to him saying sorry, when it really should've been me saying it not him."I'm sorry", I told him as I placed my head in his chest. I was sorry for never being honest, about where I was from to who I am."I'm sorry I wasn't honest", I kissed his cold hand, the hand that had soothed me so many times, yet it seemed so
I hung up the phone as tears spilled down my cheeks, tears of joy in complete utterly happiness. I ran into the cafe and locked eyes with Avery, she saw the large smile across my face along with the spilling tears, and she jumped for joy."He's awake, god it feels good to say that", I told her as she paid for the food and we ran to the car, with tears spilling from our swollen eyes and smiles that hurt our jaws."What are you going to say to him?", Avery asked as she drove to the hospital like a madwoman, swerving different lanes and probably not stopping at every stop sign. She knew we had left our relationship in a bit of a crumble, but I have already forgotten about all of that. He apologized, and I should too."That I love him and I'm sorry", I whispered to her and she just smiled. We finally reached the hospital as my hyper-active legs bounced away. Boy, was I glad I took a shower.We grabbed the bags from the trunk in a sprint and ran all the way to the hospital as it rained
That night had been restful, I could finally sleep knowing he was safe as he held me delicately. The clock struck 7 am, as the sun began climbing up the nearest mountain. My eyes opened as I felt his arms unravel from mine, he tiptoed against the cold granite tile. I reckoned he was just going for a bathroom break like every person would do, but boy was I mistaken.The sun's rays woke me up as I turned to face my husband, but to my surprise, he wasn't there. I got up in a spring thinking he had hurt himself. I searched everywhere the garage, the bathroom even upstairs in my little bunny slippers.And there he was working and running on a treadmill, 2 things he was asked not to do, by me and all of his skilled doctors."Sneaky", I told him as I crossed my arms and leaned against the open door. He turned around and gave me the most apologetic smile I had seen. He slowed down the treadmill and closed his laptop."Good morning baby", he walked fine not limping a bit it was as if he ha
