Chapter 20 - Reese

I’m glad his brothers FINALLY apologized to him. Though Jordan admitted to something far worse in his apology. He didn’t just bang the whore on her wedding day. No, it’s worse. They had been fucking for a month! That’s such trashy behavior. Jordan has a lot of work ahead of him to get complete forgiveness.

I don’t know much about Jordan, but unless he’s built like my dad or brother, he’s getting knocked out if I hit him. And how dare he think he could take me or at least take a hit from me. I’ll deal with the youngest Hunter if I ever meet him. Meeting any of them, of course, would require my relationship with Don to become serious.

Here I am, thinking of how serious things would need to be for me to meet his family, yet I came here to ask him to attend a party my Frost family hosts. Though I guess it’s different. I’m not asking him to meet my family specifically, as the event isn’t a family-only gathering. When we are serious enough, I’ll ask him to meet dad and mamãe.

Meeting my d

And so the dates are set.

    It wasn’t until after Reese left my place that I agreed to set in. Bringing her to the party for work isn’t a big deal. People always bring dates to the staff parties, which doesn’t mean they are serious. And it’s just meeting colleagues. So, no real pressure there. What I agreed to comes with pressure. Reese’s mother doesn’t like me and thinks I’m not good enough for her daughter. I don’t care if she’s probably right. I don’t want anyone but Reese deciding that. And while I loathe her mother, I know the kind of pull she has over Reese. Not just as a mother, but Sophia Frost has a say in Reese’s career. We all want to get our parents’ approval at the end of the day. I should know I’m in my forties and am still looking for that approval. And it’s not just Sophia that would be there. Many members of the Frost family, those with control over Reese’s career at the firm, will be there. Not to mention a string of high-power people. It’s going to be a very one-percenter event. This would be

    I don’t think I’ve been this nervous about attending a party. Not even when I was in high school. I’m not even sure how formal this is supposed to be. So after staring at my closet for what feels like forever but is more like thirty minutes, I give up and call the one person I think can help… RIKO. “Reese? How have you been? I have heard interesting things from my teacher husband.” Riko’s voice greeted me after the second ring. “Well, if memory serves, Darius would have seen Don at school today. So I can imagine all the gossip being spread around.” I sighed. I chuckled softly, picturing Don and Darius gossiping like old ladies in the teacher’s lounge. The very mental image is too funny for words. “I don’t know how much of it is gossip. Just that Darius found Don studiously reading law and etiquette books wanting not to disappoint when he attends the Frost party. Must be serious if you’re taking him to that.” Riko teased. ”Or it’s not serious, and you are looking for a way out. Beca

    I admit things have been a bit of a blur since picking Reese up. Seeing her in that dress fried my brain. I know she’s gorgeous in and especially out of clothes. And she was dressed cute the night we met. But tonight, she’s upped her game, and whoa, I don’t think I can keep up. I feel like a schlub standing next to her in my suit, and it’s the best one I own. And don’t get me started on her suggestion about fooling around in my shop class. I may leave this party early to take her to the high school. I have a key to an outside door to my classroom. I’d be happy to play into her teacher fantasy if that’s what she means. Or just the fantasy of screwing in a school. Given the impression she’s already made upon entering the party, I am sure no one will mind us cutting out early, especially Maria and her friends. The staff’s single ladies will be miffed enough with Riko’s presence. But with Reese towering behind Riko like a bodyguard, glowering at them, they won’t have the backbone to spea

    If you exclude his rude colleagues, attending his faculty party was fun. Well, the after-party was fun. The party itself I could quickly strike from my memory. Nothing about the event stood out, least of all when compared to what we did after. Who knew Donald Hunter was so full of sexy surprises? I hadn’t, but oh boy, do I like it. I hope the school doesn’t have security cameras in his classroom or in that jackass Conor’s office. If they do well, that footage could easily ruin my career. My mother would probably have a heart attack if a sex tape of Don and me roleplaying my teacher/naughty student fantasy were released. As a woman taller and stronger than most men, I will openly admit to enjoying letting someone dominate me. Granted, it’s only ever been a fantasy. I didn’t trust any of my exes to take control. None had a strong enough will or personality for the role. While Don seems like a genuinely sweet and cuddly man, and I’ve only known him a short time, I’ve seen flashes of thi

    Any idea how difficult it is to buy a new formal suit last minute near a major holiday? Well, I do, and fuck was it a pain in the ass. But I felt it was necessary after my faculty party. My standard suit felt and looked underdressed compared to Reese in that dress. I can only assume she will wear another knockout dress for the Frost party. I want to make something of a good impression on these people. And wow, I’m glad I upgraded my suit as she opened her apartment door. I may be drooling. I know my mouth is hanging open. Because damn, this woman is the embodiment of the word ‘goddess.’ You look up that word, and you’ll find her picture. Her thick long dark hair was loosely pulled into a high ponytail with her hair cascading down her neck in soft curls I wanted to touch. Rose gold diamond vine earrings shimmered as they dangled, standing out against her dark hair, matching the necklace that dipped just above her cleavage. Speaking of cleavage, wow! My eyes have made the trek lower t

    At some point tonight, I knew we would have to face my mother and stepfather, more so the former. While you’d think we could blend and hide amongst all the guests, I knew it was inevitable. Unless we found a group of athletes to stand with, I would stand out. It helps that I chose a sparkling red dress. So I guess subconsciously, I wanted to stand out. I wanted people to take notice of us. Because despite that, Don feels inferior, like he needs to do things such as buy a new suit and rent that over-the-top jaguar; I am damn proud to be here with him. Bringing him tonight was my fuck you to my mother and a demonstration to all I decide who I date. Growing up, I struggled with my self-esteem and put so much of my value on her praise. Dad and mamãe have always praised me and encouraged my aspirations, which should be a good thing and was. It made the fact that Mother rarely praised me more noticeable. Now that she’s got us in her sights, the little kid in me is curling up into a ball in

    Formally meeting her mother was as joyful as when the bitch tried busting into my house in the early morning hours after the night Reese and I met. I’m a peaceful man, not known for having a temper, but that woman makes me want to commit violence. And Michael ain’t much better. He reminds me of my brother in his snob moments. Unlike Sophia, I could hit Michael and not feel bad. That Cornelius fella, well, he can take a long walk off a short pier. I don’t like to judge a book by its cover, but the man looked as bland as toast. No toast at least has some character. He’s more like a slice of store-brand white bread. Maybe he has more depth than I’m giving him credit for, and he has a personality outside of formal events like this. I don’t care because fuck that guy. I’m with Reese, and unless she dumps me, that isn’t changing. I was happy when Reese gave the excuse of wanting to see her grandparents for us to get away from her mother, stepfather, and white bread boy. Too bad her mother

  • Out of My League   Chapter 28 - Reese

    I’ve always tried to be honest with my grandparents. My grandmother especially seems to have a sixth sense to know when someone is lying to her. I’ve never been too forward in discussing my issues with my mother. She is their only daughter, and I wouldn’t want them to think me talking poorly about her was a reflection on their parenting. I was worried about how they’d react. I didn’t want to disappoint my grandfather by saying I was resigning from the firm. He said they intended to offer me a partner role in the firm. Which before tonight would be a dream come true. I think it’s the dream of every Frost that goes into law someday to be a partner in the family’s firm. I don’t know what I expected to happen, but for Grandfather to drag Mother over and reprimand her was not it. He essentially told her that as a parent and a superior in the firm, she has no say in my personal life. I never knew my grandparents disapproved of Michael. I mean, I never doubted they approved of dad. They are

    My mother hasn’t spoken to me or anyone at the party since she was forcefully removed. She only speaks to Uncle Shaw at the office when the business requires her to; even then, it’s strictly professional. I don’t think he minds. Of course, now that there was an engagement party, I have formally told the rest of the family that we are engaged and expecting. Both sets of my grandparents are thrilled and look forward to the wedding and meeting new great-grandchildren. No one has officially lived at the estate since Great Aunt Cordelia died. The property went into a trust and is owned by Grandfather and his two brothers. Grandfather insisted that as we’d discussed an outdoor ceremony, we allow him to host the whole event at the Frost Estate. While I don’t want a big formal event, I have to admit the estate has beautiful landscaping, and if the weather doesn’t hold, we can go inside. So it made the perfect venue. Don and I were still going to stick to our more rustic and subdued affair. W

    There has been no slowing down just because I discovered I was pregnant with twins or because Don proposed. That is why everything has been moving at super speed around here. There’s a lot to do, and when you think about it not a lot of time to do it. The twins are due September 13th, so we are in a time crunch. And as much as Don and I would love to renovate the house ourselves, we had to concede with twins coming, we were not going to have the time, and it would be unsafe to have the place under construction. So as his gift to us for our engagement and that we are giving him his first grandchildren, Dad took over renovations. While a crew was working on the house, we stayed in my old apartment, so I wouldn’t breathe in the construction dust. Dad covered everything about the house, listening to our input on what we wanted just like he would for any client. He was paying extra special attention because it would be the home his grandchildren are raised in. That is probably why I’ve se

  • Out of My League   Epilogue - Don

    The last couple of months has been busy. All in good ways, of course, but a lot more activity than usual, that’s for sure. Reese made her mind up after her mother made it clear she couldn’t and wouldn’t apologize for her behavior. She resigned, much to the disappointment of many in her family. Thankfully none have held the decision against her. They hold it against Sophia. She’s been doing great working at her dad’s construction company as their in-house lawyer. It may not be a big deal in court cases, but she’s happy, and that is all that matters. The job is more about drawing up contracts and handling any legal hiccups that may arise, so very different from what she was doing. It’s much less stressful for her, and the work environment is much more welcoming. I’m pretty sure I’d get dirty looks if I showed up at the Frost law firm because Reese forgot lunch or her briefcase. While at the Nikolaidis Construction office, I get warm smiles and welcoming greetings as I go to her office.

    “I will still never approve of this relationship. But when it implodes, I will be there for your Reese to help you pick up the pieces. I wash my hands of your personal life. But I do ask you to reconsider resigning seriously. Think about your career. I will see you in the office, and I hope you’ve made the right choice.” Mother went into her professional mode, smoothing down her jacket. “Have a good new year.” She tacked on while walking out my door. I don’t know what came over me, but I crumbled to my knees in tears. “How… how can she be so indifferent? To be so heartless to her only daughter.” I sobbed, finding myself pulled into Don’s arms. “It’s her way of protecting herself. It ain’t right, but she does love you, Reese. She’s going about it poorly, but she wants to protect you. Give her time and space. She may come around.” Don tried to reassure me as he stroked my hair as I cried into his chest. Those twenty minutes on my living room floor were the most I’ve cried in a long ti

    Yes, I was hiding from my mother. No, I’m not proud of it. I’m twenty-seven and hiding from my mother at my boyfriend’s. The sweet man didn’t call me out on it until he had to. I know he’s right, I have to face her eventually, but more than having to face her, I need clothes. While his clothes are comfy, I can’t wear them to dad’s for a party or work, even if it’s to resign. At least whatever had my stomach angry went away after that tea and toast. Or maybe it was talking things out with Don. Who’s to say? I’m inclined to believe the latter. Knowing he will back me no matter which path I take helps. And it’s sweet of him to want to believe there is a chance my mother will apologize. I, however, am not going to hold my breath. The universe is against me today. First throwing up this morning and now finding my mother pounding on my door like she’s the cops with a warrant. Given her general attitude, I doubt she’s here to apologize for her behavior at the party. She only looks frazzled

    It went better than expected for all the fears I’d built up about attending that Frost party. Okay, sure, we had to deal with shit from her mother and ex, but otherwise, it was a good night. Reese’s Frost grandparents had her back, and her grandfather wanted her to be a partner at the firm. We haven’t discussed what she is going to do about it. I haven’t asked because I don’t want to stress her about it. She’s spent the last two nights at my place, bumming around in my clothes since she hasn’t been to her place since I picked her up for the party. While I’m not going to complain about her not wearing undergarments or getting to see her in my clothes, I am worried about her avoiding her place. She hasn’t said it, but I think she’s avoiding going home because she fears her mother will be waiting for her. She needs to feel comfortable and safe at her place of work, and if she can’t feel that way because of her mother, then leaving may be best. I’ve wanted to let her sort her family shit
