Penelope

MASONI walked out of the airport and into the waiting black Mercedes. It was July now, almost a year and a half since I left New York City and my life behind me. Everything still looked the same to me as it did before I left, yet life was completely different. I was different! At least that's what I've been telling myself. All that time I spent trying to find myself again, it wasn't all for nothing. I wouldn't be back if I wasn't a changed man. "It's been a long time,Son."My Father said, from the other side of the back seat. "How have you been--where have you been?" "Everywhere, I didn't stay put for too long." I turned my head and

JAMIEThe wanderer has finally returned!!They're not happy about it. They're my best friends, they have a right to be worried about him being back. He left, so easily, like I didn't matter to him at all. They were there to pick up the pieces. Carmen and Ethan stuck by me just like they always do. They were my support through the toughest moments of my life, I know more than anything else that that will never change. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Mason Knight. I don't know if he's changed, I hope he has purely for himself, but I don't see it happening. It was stupid of me to think that in the past. I won't make that mistake again!!"What are you going to do about the dinner?"Harry asked, grabbing my attention from the people that were passing by the window of the coffee shop. In thought I had become distracted by the people that were passing by, rushing to

JAMIEI looked down at the binder that I was holding in my arms. The Montgomery's had added 4 extra tables of 6 to their anniversary party overnight. Luckily I was equipped to deal with this kind of situation at last minute. Mrs Montgomery's turned to me and smiled."Is that okay, Darling?""Of course."I smiled back."I penciled it in for 4 extra table. We just need a decision on napkin colours, other than that we're pretty much set for your special day."Mr Montgomery chuckled."I'll leave this one to you, Dear.""I assumed you would."She looked at him adoringly. I found it cute that after 50 years together they were this much in love. It makes me think of my own Mom and Dad. "Perfect, I'll go us a couple of sample colours."I left the Montgomery's to chat while I grabbed my napkins from the office. Five minutes later I was back but there was one other person with them.

JAMIE   He wasn't happy about it, just like I wasn't.   My Father wasn't all that happy about Mason Knight showing his face, after everything he's done. He wasn't happy about him being back in my life, nor Penelope's either. Because of this, I was the one facing of wrath of Clay Harris. I guess Mason will be too if my Parents don't leave before he gets here.   "I'm not happy about this, Jamie. No, I don't like it!"He shook his head.   Of course i pulled a face, knowing exactly what he was going to say. His every word. It's the same thing my Father always says when he doesn't like a situation.  

JAMIE A bottle of Champagne was chilling in a ice bucket on the table to the side, two crystal flute glasses were stood pretty beside it. One glass completely empty, while the other was still untouched.  Two in the afternoon was too early for me, but Carmen on the other hand— well she was never one to turn down free champagne, or anything free for that matter. Being the centre of attention Carmen was in her element, which is exactly how it should be for any bride to be.  I hooked the final satin button on the back of her dress that was made of lace and tulle. I was feeling a great honour to be by Carmen's side. To be present at every dress fitting, to every store in the city of New York just to find the perfect pair of shoes to match her perfect dress, and most importantly by her side through all those months of planning
