"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
"Are you sure you have everything?", Alison asked for the 50th time as annoyed Leah hugged her mom to calm her frantic ways. She was being a mom, worried about her kid and I respected her for it, but everyone deserves a break, especially her."Mom, I'm fine", Leah told her for the 50th time as she sat on the couch already examining the games we had stacked up."Come on Ali, otherwise we will miss our flight", Clay tried to pull her out of the room as she runs up to Leah for the last time and said bye."Promise me you'll take good care of her, okay?", She asked Nolan and me as we shook our head and Nolan politely pushed his mom out for the sake of everyone in the room."Thank goodness, mommy left", Leah exhaustedly looked at the door and plopped onto the couch, she grabbed for the remote."No TV now we heard you have homework, go do it, and we can watch tv later", I told her as she rolled her eyes at my persistent attitude. She groaned as she pulled herself off the couch and grabb
He extended his hand to take me to the room as I looked up at him, cautious and afraid."Can we talk?", he asked again as Caroline swooped in and took the sleeping Leah away on her shoulder and it was just me and him, alone at last.He escorted me to his office as he reached for my hand, which I immediately put down to my side. We were good, we were strong."I didn't kiss her, I promise", he swore as soon as the doors shut and the curtains closed to keep out peering eyes. He took my hands in his as he looked sincerely at me."I want to believe you, I do", I told him as his hands rubbed my cheek as a single tear fell down. He wiped away as I peered into his eyes for a sign, for anything."Then, believe me, I didn't want her here in the first place. Can I explain it to you?", he guided me towards the coach and I sat down on the same couch we had snuggled up on the first time I had been here."She applied for your job, I had declined knowing her, but Nova insisted and so did my mom
Kiss after kiss his mouth felt like it was conjoined to mine but I simply couldn't get enough, his hands tussled my wisps of hair as the waffle maker timer went off. It was a bright early morning, a calming morning which was what everyone needed. Pancakes filled the air along with the smell of the powdered sugar that went on the fluffy waffles like a blanket.Everyone was sure to be groaning from their headaches and hangovers that came from the aftermath of last night. I was still suffering from mine as it hit me like a punch in the head."Drink this", Nolan handed me a vomit-looking drink as I felt the urge to hurl my stomach contents. I resisted as he assured me there was no vomit in the disturbing drink."Where'd you learn to make this?", I asked him as I took a sip of the sweet nectar that eroded my nostrils. He rubbed my temple softly as I took another sip."I had crazy days", he spoke sounding like a dad who was reminding his kid of the 'good ole days'."Trust me, I know. I
Days passed of me worrying, imagining every second of the terror that fills me, I had never had a week to process everything before it even happened. The shivers that felt me up in the wrong way, my hands shivered as I pulled for the comforter on a hot sunny night. Sweat built up on my forehead as I tried closing my eyes, I just wanted sleep but all that roamed my mind was how much it would burn, how much it would hurt.I turned to the side as I felt a hand creep up to my side as I swatted it away. Nolan was fast asleep luckily. I opened my eyes widely and went to the kitchen, I couldn't face the darkness anymore. I grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured myself a glass of cold water, to wake me up. The clock read 5:00 am as I wiped my head furiously. I needed something to cool my mind, I crept back into the bedroom and changed into some leggings and a tank top, I wrote a note on the desk and took off on a run, just to feel better to feel clear.The wind brushed my hair as I pus
Time was something I didn't have as I hauled a cab over to the side of the busy street. The air was musty as I grabbed the top and pulled myself in. The old man smiled at me and asked where I was going. "Lawrence Enterprises, please", I said as he typed it in and began driving towards it. My mind spiraled as I felt the burning need to go home but then I remembered why I put myself into dangerous situations. It was all for her, she was the light at the end."Going for a job interview?", his question snapped me out and back to reality as I wished I was going for a simple job interview."No, you have a nice day sir", I handed him an extra tip as he thanked me and I got out of the bright yellow cabby. The tall building stretched out in front of me as I scaled the length, remembering the times I'd held my mom's hand as she delivered lunch to my dad.I rushed into the building as I spotted the lobby filled with exuberant plants and people yelling or fussing into their cellular phones.
Secrets filled my head rapidly, and regret clouded my judgment. My thoughts fumbled as I waited for Nolan to arrive home, I wanted badly to feel his bareback and his sweet lips kiss mine. The elevator dinged as I waited for the doors to open, I ran and hugged him as I felt my stomach nag at me, but I ignored it. He was home and that's all I could want right now. He smelled of an airplane, hinted with a tad bit of cologne. His hands roamed my shoulders as I kissed him. "Hi", he said as if we hadn't tried to destroy each other's faces just a second ago. He hauled in his suitcases and it had seemed like he had brought one more back. "Hi", I stared at his golden eyes and his soft hair, his enticing lips, and his sweet face. I missed him too much. "I missed you", I told him as he rolled his suitcases to the kitchen and he propped the suitcase open. "I missed you too", he kissed my head as he picked me up and put me on the countertop. You can imagine what we did for the next hour or tw
