“I ch… I pause. I want to tell him I’m choosing him, but I should talk to Gianna one more time before I do.
“Tt’s nothing. You always know how to make me feel special.” He smiles then kisses my lips.
“That’s my job, and now, “He checks his watch, “I should get out of your hair. I’m sure you have things to do, and I have to get to work.”
“You’re leaving?”
“Yeah, I know you would probably kick me out soon.” I chuckle.
“I wouldn’t kick you out, just a gentle shove.”
“Well, I’m leaving on my own accord. You needed space, and because of my drunken fuckk up, you had to spend the night with me.”
“Well, except for the picking you up part. It wasn’t so bad.”
“Which part was good?” He asks.
“The part where I got to see you. I missed your touch, “He slips his hands under my shirt, caressing my bare skin.
“I have some time. I could touch you all over now.” I sigh

Cole I stare at the house for a second as I contemplate whether I should turn back. I’ve been sitting here for the last twenty minutes, and although I have to do this, I always promised myself I wouldn’t enter this place again. It’s filled with so many horrible memories I wish I could bury—memories of her abuse and my inability to protect her all those years. Her smile pops into my head, and I can’t help the joy and peace it brings me. I never thought I would be lucky enough to see that smile again. After that night, I ran away because I couldn’t face her. I couldn’t face the hatred that would be in her eyes when she looked at me. But she smiled at me. She doesn’t hate me. She doesn’t love you anymore, either. A voice says in my head, crushing the joy I felt earlier. That’s right; she doesn’t love me. She’s in love with someone else. I am happy she found love, and from how he acts, it’s clear he loves her, too. I am happy for her. Or I want to be happy

Giovanni With Fenice in my arms, I walk through the door of the chateau, bypassing the staff who’s at the entrance to greet us. I put my hand to my lips as one of them is about to speak. “I’ll take her to bed,” I whisper to them before heading towards the staircase. She has been sleeping since she fell asleep in the limo and slept the entire ten-hour flight. She must have been exhausted, and I know waking up to get me probably contributed to it. What I did was pathetic. I have to better for her sake. I could have hurt her if I had gotten any more wasted and slept with Carina. I exhale as I gently place her on the bed and cover her with a blanket. “I promise I’ll do better from now on.” I declare. I know she can’t hear me, but as long as we’re together, I’ll do everything right to earn my place by her side. Although it still may not be enough because she probably will leave me. I wonder how many days we have left? I know she’ll pick Gian

Brandi“Tell me if your foot hurts.” He says for the fifth time in the last fifteen minutes. It’s been three days since I twisted my ankle. It feels much better, but he’s been acting like I’m going to break whenever I try to walk around. He treats me like his most precious possession by carrying me everywhere in his arms. It has been sweet and annoying.“We should probably head back now.”“Bambino, I’m fine, look.” I jump up and down to show him my ankle is fine, but his face looks like he’s having a heart attack as he runs over to me.“Be careful, fenice, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?”“Tesoro, stop worrying. It doesn’t hurt.”“I know I’m being overly cautious---.”Ring, ring, ring.He stops and pulls his phone from his pocket, and looks at it.“Sorry, I have to take this.

Gianna3 hours agoI take a sip of my latte and glance at petite blond as she rubs her stomach. Emily looks adorable with her protruding belly. Would I look like that pregnant? I’m just as tiny as her, so I probably will, but I’m not in a rush to find out. Although I'm sure, Carlos would make a great dad, unlike my own. I frown and push thoughts of him away.“Gianna, earth to Gianna!”“Huh” I shift my eyes to Macy, another friend having lunch with us.“Are you coming with us to the registry?”“For the baby?”“Yes, what else could it be? You’re still bird-brained now as you were back then,” she snaps. I take a deep breath. It is the third time she’s made some remark like this today, and my patience is wearing thin.“I’m the one who’s dumb, but I passed the MCAT on the first try, unlike you,” I mumble beneath my breath.“What was that?”

I rub my eyes and glance at her, still lying in bed. It’s almost nine a.m, and she hasn’t woken up or moved at all. The test came back fine, so why isn’t she waking up? “Coffee?” Carlos asks, shoving a cup in my face. I push it away and frown. “Why hasn’t she woken up yet?” “It takes longer for some people, but I can assure you she’s fine.” “If she’s fine, she should be awake by now, and you don’t seem to care!" I growl. “Papi, how many times have I told you….” a faint voice interjects. “Gia….” “Baby,” Carlos says as he runs over to her side. “Be nice to my boyfriend.” My eyes water as I pull her into my arms. I look up and whisper a silent grateful that my baby's okay. “You scared me,” I say as I bury my face in her head and kiss it. i “Papi, why are you so emotional? What happened to me? The last I remember, I was at home in our closet.” “You overdosed on the painkillers you were taking.”

Brandi I turn the pipe off, grab a towel, and step out of the shower. Then dry off, head to the v vanity, and take a seat. Tes set it up for me a week ago and bought all my favorite items. He is the best; I sigh as I grab the blow dryer. As I am about to turn it on, I catch the dark circles under my eyes that have appeared because of my lack of sleep since Gianna O.Ded.It’s been a couple of days since then, but I can’t help thinking theirs more to the story than she’s telling us. My gut tells me it wasn't an accident, but I don't want to worry Tes without proof. But the what id of it all keeps me up at night. What if I'm right? And my most fearful thought, What if it happens again, and she doesn’t make it the next time? That would crush me and destroy him, so I want to help her if I can, but from the looks, she’s given me the couple of times we’ve seen each other around the house, I can tell she has no interest in rekindling our friendship. Still, I would feel better if some

Brandi “Tes, let’s break up.” The words fall out of my mouth and hang in the air. For a minute, neither of us moves. My heart pounds as I await his answer, but I already know nothing he says will change the inevitable. Breaking up was always inevitable. A relationship between the two of us was doomed to fail from the start. I bite my lips, holding back the tears that threaten to fall when he finally speaks. “What did you just say?” I can hear the confusion and pain in his voice. “Let’s break up,” I repeat the lines I have practiced saying for the last two hours. I agreed to this. I have to do it for her, but it doesn’t lessen the pain. “You’re joking. Fenice, you’re not serious.” “I am,” I say, my words barely audible. “Fenice. What is this about? I come home; you’re crying. You say there was never a child.” “There wasn’t,” I whisper, my heart shattering again. I thought I would be pregnant soon. I was looking forward to being his wife and having a baby, but now. I sniffle as th

“Fenice,” The words leave my mouth before I can stop them. I should call her Brandi, not fenice; we aren't together. She cheated and broke my heart. I have thought about this exact moment many times, seeing her again. I wonder how it would happen. How I would feel and what I would say to someone who broke my heart. But now that it’s here, all I want to do is take in my arms and kiss her. I’m pathetic. I frown as I stare at her. My heart drums in my chest as her familiar scent envelopes me, bringing peace to me that has escaped me these last couple of weeks. “Excuse me, are you getting in or out?” A man comes up behind her and says. “Oh, sorry.” She says and steps aside to allow him to get on while I step off. “I should...” She looks around as if she's confused. “I should go.” She turns to leave. No, she can’t leave. Stop her. A voice says, and without hesitation, I follow, grabbing her hand. “Wait,” I say. She stops and turns to face me, but she looks away as soon as our eyes meet

BrandiI sit in the chair waiting for the make-up artist to finish her work as my heart thunders in my chest. This is it. I’m getting married—I glance at the clock. Twenty minutes. I have been prodded, plunked, and tucked all morning, and now all I have to do is put on my dress and walk down the aisle to the man I love.“You’re still doing her make-up?” G asks as the door opens with a bang and she comes rushing in. She has been in a frenzy since this morning.“Hey, G. You look amazing,” I say as I admire the champagne, maid of honor dress she’s wearing. She stops and grins, then twirls to give me the full picture.“Don’t I—-wait. Don’t change the subject. Why is she still doing your make-up? It’s almost time.”“I asked her to change the eye shadow to something lighter,” I explain.“Oh, but we only have eighteen minutes.”“I’m almost done.” The make-up artist states.G paces back and forth. “How soon is almost?

Meanwhile Brandi I pull the covers tight and reach for a handful of popcorn as I focus on the TV. After cleaning yesterday, I have been flipping between crying and watching movies and TV shows. Except for two hours today, G convinced to me get my hair done because the wedding is tomorrow. I hope it is tomorrow, but I’m still uncertain what will happen because I haven’t spoken to Tes since I told him he has until Sunday to figure it out. I don’t know what he’s thinking, even suggesting postponing the wedding. How could he think I need more time? I’m so angry and hurt, I want to hate him. I should hate him right now for putting me through this, but I can’t. I miss him. I ache for his arms holding me. I miss his smile in the morning. I miss our family. I sniff as tears stain my cheeks. “Are you okay? Do you need anything? Ice Cream?” Gia asks, pushing the tub of butter pecan to me. I sigh and grab the spoon and take a big bite. “Better?” I nod before taking another bite. “Your father

GiannaI pull in through the gate and look around, stunned at the lawn covered in furniture. What is all this? I wonder as I park the car. Are they moving? Neither Dad nor B said anything before this. I slip out of the car and grab my purse before heading to the door when I see Martha approaching.“Ms. Gia.” She says, smiling when she sees me.“Hey, Martha. Are Papi and B moving?”She shakes her head. “Mrs. Caputo woke up this morning, asked us to move the furniture outside, and started cleaning.” She explains.Mrs. Who? I furrow my brows when I realize she is talking about B. I guess she will be Mrs. Caputo in a couple of days. It feels so strange for her to marry Papi, but now I’m okay with it. Happy even, since he makes her happy, and they gave me two of the cutest brothers in the world. I smile, thinking of their chubby cheeks.“Ms. Gia?” Martha calls, pulling me from my thoughts.“Oh, B asked you to move them out?” She nods.“She was in a frenzy this morning about getting the hou

Brandi Twenty minutes ago I examine the sample of Birch wood on my desk. I like it, but I’m not in love with it like I am with the soft maple. I sigh. Why did the supplier have a shortage of the only wood I like? Well, it doesn’t matter. I have to choose one of these before the call. Shannon likes the ash, but ash is not durable enough and I want people to pass these on to their kids, not throw them out. I need another opinion. Maybe I should have had Tes stop by with dinner and help me decide. I pick up my phone to call him but hesitate when I remember how tired he was today. Tes is already stretched thin with taking care of the boys, last-minute wedding prep, and getting his company ready for his absence during our honeymoon. Although he never complains, I’m sure he is exhausted. His only being able to have sex once last night is proof. That man never falls asleep before going at it at least twice. It’s a good thing this project is almost complete. Once we’re done with picking th

I need to find a doctor, but how do I do it on such short notice? I pull out my phone to call Jorge my assistant.“Good Morning Boss. Are you coming into the office today?”“No. Jorge, I need a doctor.”“Oh, for what? Is Mrs, okay? My nephews?” He says, reacting as his usual dramatic self.“Fenice is fine, and so are the boys. I pulled my back last night and need to get it checked out. Can you find me a doctor? I need it today.”“I will be right on it.”“Thank you.”“You know. I had a problem once. I was in Colorado when my boyfriend at the time got a little rough. He was hitting it from the back. He can be a little rough.”“Jorge, is there a point to this story?”“oh right. So my back gave out. We were snowed in so I couldn’t see a doctor. I did yoga for two days. My back felt brand new by the time we left.”“So you’re saying I should try yoga?”“Exactly. I bet it will have you feeling brand new or you can go see those pill pushers who’ll pump you full of drugs and overcharge you.” I

GiovanniWilliam pulls into the driveway and sighs. We chased her as far as the traffic cameras could track, but we eventually reached a dead end when she took a back road with no cameras. She’s smart. I give her that and she is also striking to look at. I can see why William is enamored with her beauty, even though she is a thief.“What did she say to you?”“Huh?” I furrow my brows.“Brandi said she found you two together. Did she try to sleep with you?” He asks through clenched teeth. I can tell the thought of that pisses him off.“She walked in and pretended to be lost, then she fainted so I would catch her. I told her to drop the act and Fenice walked in. I don’t know if she would have tried.” My voice trails off as I see him getting noticeably angrier.“Don’t worry. You’ll find her.”“How many men will she have fucked and used by then?” His eyes flash angrily.“What does it matter?”“They are touching something that’s mine—” His voice trails off when he realizes what he’s saying.
My Best Friend's Father Best Birthday
I push the stroller towards the store about to go meet Amber and G, who invited herself last minute when she called this morning. “B.” I hear her call from behind. I turn slightly and see her coming fast, waving. “You brought them!” She squeals after seeing the stroller. “You wanted to see them. Here you go.” I push the stroller towards her and hand her their bag. “What’s all this?” “You asked me to bring them, so you’re going to look after them. I’m here to shop. Boys, your big sister will take care of you. Be nice.” I say, blowing each a kiss and then heading through the door of Hermes. “Wait. I don’t know.” I hear her behind me. “B, you can’t do this.” I sigh as she struggles to open the door while pushing the stroller. I roll my eyes and walk back to the door and hold it open while she pushes it inside. “Why didn’t you bring one of the nannies?” “They are off on weekends when Tes and I are free. You wanted me to bring them, so you’re the nanny today.” “What? All I wanted t

Brandi“Tes come on.” I fold my arms as I wait for him to exit the car. We went shopping, and he agreed we would each pick an outfit we wanted the other to wear and we get to choose the occasion it would be worn. He picked out a white dress and a matching lingerie set. The dress is to be worn to his birthday dinner next Tuesday and the lingerie for tonight. I picked an outfit for our date in the park. Dark washed jeans, a tight-fitting t-shirt with a black leader jacket, and combat boots. He has been complaining since he stepped out of the dressing room, but a deal is a deal. “Tes, come on,” I call again, growing impatient.“I don’t think is a good idea. I should go home and change.” He says, still sitting in the car.“We made a deal. You picked my dress and that string you want me wearing tonight. If you want to see me wear that tonight, come out of the car.” He frowns as he steps. I smile as I look at him. He does not know how good he looks, but I’m sure he’ll turn a few heads.“I
My Best Friend's Father The little voice
Brandi I take a sip of the shot, trying to pace myself because I already feel a little too good, and I know I’m on my way to being drunk for the first time in my life. I look at the shot and then watch as Gianna downs another one. Tonight reminds me of high school when she would get wasted, so I would have to take care of her. I guess some things never change. I put the glass down on the bar top. “No, no, no. What are you doing?” “I have already had five. You’re on your seventh.” “Eight. I brought you here to get drunk and party our asses off.” “One of us needs to stay sober and make sure nothing happens.” “We’re in Uncle Williams’ club surrounded by security. Nothing will happen.” “You never know-” “B, he’s gone. You can relax.” She says as she picks up and hands me the shot. She doesn’t say another word, instead; she turns back to the bar and orders more shots. I look at the shot in my hand as her words play in my head. I know she is talking about Colin. It’s true that in th
