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
"Good Morning Sugar", a husky voice said next to me as I turned over to his smiling face. His hands went up to my face as I just admired how thankful I was that he was here."Good morning", I told him as I leaned in for a kiss against the shear pillows, just as a little head popped up right in between us."Peek-a-boo", a sweet voice tinged in between us as she kissed both of our cheeks and gave us hugs.Alison had asked us to watch Leah again so that she could have one last night in the haystack and that phone call she was about to tell me what she was going to do with her husband and I'm so glad I hung up. Avery on the other hand was hiding from her mother and had woken up with a horrible hangover. She stayed over hoping to wait for it over and had stayed inside the room the whole day, working, she was exactly like Nolan who also worked for most of the day, people with their computers."I'm hungry", Leah wailed as she rubbed her stomach, Nolan looked at me knowing for sure that h
"Thank you to all of you that came, it's been amazing seeing all of you, so now it's time to party". Alison popped a bottle of champagne on the stage as everyone clapped and shouted, she walked off the stage and started dancing with Clay as they shared a special kiss together. They invited everyone else, out to the dance floor and the couples flowed under the sparkling lights to Alison's parents to Leah who danced with a boy, who couldn't stop smiling.In the corner of my eye I spotted Nolan with a drink in his hand and a girl next to him, she was swooning but I was pissed. Her hand went to his biceps as it looked like she was squeezing them, and he was okay with it, god. Her face was awfully familiar, it was a face I probably tried to erase from my memory. I went over as quickly and behaved as I could, but when it came to people who couldn't care if they were married I will run in these outrageous heels."Dance with me", I draped my hand over his shoulder as her eyes skyrocketed fr
