"It is time, Ami". Linda stuck her head in the door and she nodded, taking one last look in the mirror. She felt beautiful and hoped that Connor would feel the same. They had landed in Denmark late in the afternoon the day before and she had spent the night at her parents house with Linda. She walked to the waiting limo and Linda helped her inside. "Oh Ami you look stunning, Connor is so gonna cry when he sees you". "Well the way his hormones are acting up these days I actually fear a whole other reaction". Amelia said giggling and Linda broke down laughing at the thought. She still didn't know where they were going, but she did have an idea and she loved Connor even more for doing this. No Hollywood glamour and paps, just their family and friends in the beautiful Danish summer. And it was an exceptionally beautiful summer day in the beginning of August with the sun high in the sky and the fields heavy with crops as they drove through the landscape. She wasn't nervous. She kne
6 years later "Are you okay baby ?" Connor looked at her with concern across the table. They were sitting in a nice restaurant having dinner. She smiled a calm smile and put a hand on her stomach. "There was just a little bandit in here who felt like using mommy's bladder as a soccer ball". "Oh he is gonna be such a little trouble maker that one". He looked at her lovingly, his eyes so warm and soft. Amelia sent him a lopsided smile. "Yes, I have an inkling that he is going to be very much like his daddy, our little wolf cub". "Do you even know how exquisitely beautiful you are when you are pregnant ?" He grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. She pulled a face at him. "Oh yeah, It is not like I look like a beached whale at all". "Then you are the most beautiful beached whale ever. I can't seem to keep my eyes or hands off you". He said with a cheeky wink. She arched one eyebrow. "Uh honey, that actually isn't anything new. That has never really been your strong side". He ju
Part I Amelia was standing in front of the mirror getting ready. This was one of those rare Friday nights where she was going out on town with her best friend Linda, something she didn't do very often. Partying and drinking was just never really her thing. She brushed her long blond hair, contemplating whether to leave it down or put it up, deciding to leave it tumbling down her back. She finished off the light make-up, looking into her own blue-grey eyes, this had to do. They were going to a karaoke bar, and she put on a pair of skinny jeans and a fitted T-shirt, that left about an inch of her abdomen visible. She was rather happy about the way it showed off
"This is my best friend Joel. Joel, say hi to Ami. I kind of got in her way, so I asked her to join us". Connor introduced them.Amelia thought Joel looked like someone she had seen before, he had that kind of face you didn't easily forget. She grabbed his hand. "Hi Joel, I hope it is okay for me to join you"."Hi Ami, great to meet you, and of course only happy to have something more pretty than this one to look at". He said grinning at Connor.She sat down on the bench across from Joel and Connor slid in beside her, he had to angle himself towards her to make room for his long legs.He looked at Joel with a smirk. "Oh Joel, you were going to get us drinks weren't you ?"
He started to sing and Amelia almost forgot when she had to start. I can sing somewhat okay he had said, yeah right that had to be the understatement of the year at least.She found it easy to sing with him, he seemed to be used to singing duets and he automatically adapted his voice to hers when they sang together.He had a way of catching her eyes and she felt like there was no one else in the room, like he was meaning every word and it made her get a bit flushed. What was it about him that affected her like this ?When they finished they got the biggest applause of the evening and Connor put his arm around her shoulders, pulling her with him back to the table.Joel looked up at her, when she slipped into her seat. "I am really impressed Ami, you have a beautiful voice"."Yes, wow Am
Even though Amelia had gone to bed late the night before, she woke up early the next morning, feeling so excited she couldn’t go back to sleep. She was going on a date.She debated whether to write and tell Linda, but she kind of wanted to make sure it actually led to something first. She didn't want to get her friend’s hopes up.Maybe he would turn out to be a total jerk or maybe he had some big flaw she hadn't spotted in the darkened bar that would turn her off.Maybe he wouldn't show up at all.She showered and had some breakfast, but she couldn't really eat anything, getting more and more nervous. She hadn't been on a date forever.
Amelia was in a great mood all day and she had to admit that she had a hard time not thinking about Connor.But when she hadn't heard from him the next afternoon she began thinking that he might have changed his mind, that her outburst of jealousy had scared him away after all."Ami there is a really hot guy asking for you". Her colleague Maria came into the kitchen, where she had been chatting with the chef.She walked into the restaurant and spotted Connor standing by the bar, looking like a cover model to a steamy romance novel. She walked over. "Hi Connor, what are you doing here ?""I thought it better to come here in person than to just text you". He said smiling, then he pulled o
She jumped in surprise when the doorbell rang, and then breathed in deeply before walking out to open the door.Connor was standing outside, his eyes ran up over her body and he swallowed. "Wow Ami, you look absolutely stunning"."Thank you, you look rather handsome yourself". She said smiling, he was wearing a blue 3 piece suit, with a white shirt and a dark yellow tie.He bowed lightly and offered her his arm. "Well thank you, are you ready to leave my …lady ?""Certainly my good sir". She said grinning, she locked up the door, and then accepted his arm.In the elevator she noticed him glancing at her and chuckle and she ask
