"Natalie", a soft voice said in the middle of the night. I turned around and found Nolan sitting up, and staring at me. His eyes told me the one thing I feared, he wanted to talk."You can't sleep?", I asked him and he nodded his head. I leaned against his shoulder, and interlocked his hand and mine."I've tried sleeping, I've tried talking to myself, but I just need you", he said and kissed my hand that was wrapped in his."Well in that case here I am", I climbed over him and smiled at his worried face. I leaned in kissing him passionately and his lips became limp and he pulled away from me."What?", I asked him as he looked to the side."You keep pushing this off, you act like nothing happened, like yesterday didn't happen, like we didn't los-lose our baby", he said grappling onto the fact that I didn't want to talk about it. He was to tears by now and I rushed over to help him and he pushed me away."I'm tired of you not talking, when you came back from whatever Daniel did yo
What was I doing? Ruining my marriage just when it had started. Happiness was something I didn't allow myself to have, but this time my walls were coming down and I would finally let him know why sometimes it's hard to sleep at night. Or why I can't talk to him about the things that bother me? Or why I have to act like everything is okay? I clicked the elevator button heading up to our floor, and finally I would tell him.He stood at the elevator door, surprised to see me again."I want to talk, I want to let you in", I began saying as he sat on the couch and motioned for me to sit next to him."Then what's stopping you?", he asked and I looked up at those earnest eyes."It's just that, I've never had someone that wants to know about me, wants to know about how I'm doing, and I know we've been together for what feels like a while, but it's still so hard for me", I told him and he seemed to not understand."I want to know why, I want me to be that person who you can talk to about
"You, little one get me a coffee", she barked as I raced to grab her a coffee, it was my first day and I was being treated like an assistant, I didn't mind it. Paris Grant was an icon in the column and journalist world, yes she was in charge of the girly columns, but she wrote a beautiful piece overlooking the world that inspired me to even start on this career path and after school, I was done with waiting.I handed her the steaming cup and she drank a sip and spit it out over the meeting's manuscripts."Penelo-", she began saying and looked at my earnest face and a feeling of shock came over her."You're not Penelope, my assistant", she asked and I shook my head, not knowing how to form sentences let alone words."No, I'm not, but you looked like you needed a coffee and I didn't know which one to get you", I tried explaining and she picked up the file that wasn't drenched in coffee."You're that writer, who made that piece on the differences of waves, it was in-depth, yet it re
"She just said yes, just like that", I retold our conversation in the car to Nolan as I laid on his chest, later that night."Well you said yes right away?", he said, which he was right about. The moment I got that phone call, I was ready to put him in jail."Yes but I had that emotional, crying session with you, but with Melody she didn't have that, she just said okay like it was nothing", I told him as he traced my bare stomach with his fingers."And guess who that sounds like?", he asked me, and I knew the answer to his sarcastic question."Very funny", I laughed at his impractical joke and he kissed my forehead."Well I'll call the lawyers tomorrow and let them know, then I'll check when his trial is", he said and I turned myself over and looked at his starry blue eyes."I am a very lucky girl", I said to him and he nodded his head and leaned into kiss me, passionately."Wait, wait I have to tell you something", I told him separating his lips from mine and he pulled me back
"Here wear this", I handed Mel a pale pink dress as she raced to put it on. The week had flown by and it was time for Avery's rehearsal of the rehearsal of the rehearsal- it was too long of a title to repeat correctly."Okay okay that's good", I said as she twirled in front of me as I raced to find Mel a pair of shoes in my closet."These?", I asked her holding up a pair of shoes as she shook her head.Here grab those and grab my makeup bag, and my phone", I said finishing up brushing her hair. She ran to go grab my list of items as I quickly touched up my hair and sprayed on hairspray trying to make my out of place hair stay."We're never late, I hate that we're late", we ran out the door as I slipped on my shoes and made my way to the garage, hoping that I had all aspects of my outfit together.I looked down to my dress and I cursed myself as Mel noticed my outfit's flaw.My black bra straps stood out along the open neckline."Fuck it, I'm just not going to wear a bra", I sai
Natalie's POVHis hand was resting on the small of my back as he directed me towards the restaurant."Are we sure we're okay with Mel going on her own she's fourteen?", Nolan second chanced himself and I was already way ahead of him."I did some moving around and I worked it out", I told him and he looked confused as one would be when someone says something random, unrelated."So she's at home?", he said as we walked along the cold Seattle breeze, grabbing for each other's hands."I did us one better", I said while opening the door for him as he walked inside. I followed behind him as we entered the restaurant an elegant, expensive flourish of tiny meals for rich people."You hate these meals, and you surely know I don't like them", he told me and that's when I pointed out Melody and Zeke in the crowd sitting, waiting for a table."We're spying on them?", he asked and I nodded my head, I had to be a good sister and keep her from getting in trouble, besides she's 13."It's just
"I am going to be a horrible wife", Avery cried on the phone as Nolan wanted to grab the phone and talk to his sister. It had been a day since the last rehearsal of the rehearsal happened and the second she-devil made a concerning speech, at the rehearsal and now Avery spent the last moments before her real rehearsal freaking out."Tyler loves you because of who you are, because of your personality that he fell in love with", I tried calming her down as she just kept crying over the phone. Nolan still tried to fit for the phone from my hand as he chased me around the room."Tiffany said what was true I don't deserve him and I deserve to be single for the rest of eternity", she cried into the phone as I heard the words she had probably replayed in her head a million times."Tiffany is looking to get her ass kicked, huh?", I joked and she let out a laugh that I hadn't heard all morning as I tried to calm her down. Nolan looked at me with a concern for his sweet sweet Tiffany."You r
Palm trees scattered the island as we observed from afar. The water that surrounded the island looked crystal blue, as the girls and I spotted our cottage as the guide pointed with the tip of his finger.The guide went on and told us about how the island was conquered and made into a hidden gem of the Caribbean."Ladies it's been an honor showing you around by boat", he said as he helped us get out of the boat, kissing each of our hands with a small peck. He handed us our bags and we carried them to our small cottage.Avery squealed as we opened the door to our snuggly cottage along the shores of an island on the Caribbean."I love it", she hugged both of us as we opened the door wider for her and we stepped inside."It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful", she went to the bar and saw the fully stocked shelves.She grabbed the glasses and poured us each a shot, as she called us over."Thank you for being here and making this the best party ever", she toasted to our girls weekend.
