Rebuilding Love 22. Complications
I watched the door knowing my mom would soon be running out. What surprised me was that she ran right into my grandmother's arms. "I can't lose him Wilamina." "I know darling."I stood there watching my mom break down and felt my heart clench. I have only really seen my mom like this once before and it was the day that letter came in the mail. Our lives have changed drastically.I went from being raised by a single mom with several honorary Uncles and Aunts to having my real Aunt and Uncles in my life. I also now have two grandpas and a grandmother. I stand there watching my mom crying in my grandmother's arms and can't help but wish my dad will pull through for her sake.I feel someone's arms go around me and I look to see Aunt Lucy. She pulls me close "it's ok baby boy." I let the tears fall down my cheeks as I play the scene in my head of what they are doing to my father.I don't know how long we were all standing outside my dad's room before the doctor came out and pulled my grand

After Juan told us that his procedure was successful I turned to the family. "Look I don't know if I should be in there he might not remember what has happened the last few days." I could feel my heartbreak admitting to the family that he might not want me around and wouldn't remember Justin. I watched Wilamina smile "then we will tell him the truth." "What if he won't listen?" She chuckled "I will tell him. Believe me, he will let me explain especially since I spoke the loudest against you. I never wavered when I believed you deliberately hurt my son." I nod my head and let them lead us into his room. I let the tears fall as I look at him lying in the bed all because of me. I whisper "why Tris?" I soon feel an arm around my shoulders and look up to see Tom "because he loves you Triny. He never stopped loving you. We all would hear him udder your name in his sleep. Hell, he still does." I look up at him and smile "really?" "Yes, that is why even though mom and dad told

I chuckle "I was not in your arms." "Ok, with you sleeping on my chest." "That's better and exactly what are you getting at Tris." "Does this mean I get to call you my girl again?" I look at him and I know there is no way I can let him go again. I smile "I don't know if you can handle me." I see him grin and wiggle his eyebrows at me "as soon as the doctor gives me the go-ahead I will show you how much I can handle you. Now answer the question Trin." I hear her sigh and can't help but smile bigger because I know she is going to tell me yes. She sits up and leans over me never taking her eyes off of mine "yes Tris. I love you I have always loved you. I was just too scared to let you into my life again but after you almost died saving my life I knew I had to tell you and let us be together." I brush my hand along his face "I can't live without you, Tris." "I can't live without you."The family didn't take long to show up and Wilamina explained everything to Tristan and he just

As we headed to the airport it hit me that we are leaving the country and even though I know that Juan and Lucy packed mine and Justin's passports I had no idea if Tristan had his. Looking at Tristan I cleared my throat "uhm, do you have your passport?" He chuckled "yeah, a few years back we were warned that if we travel back and forth regularly to Mexico we would need a passport. Seeing as we used to go there all the time all of us got our passports." "Great so I take it you have it with you?" "Yep, what about you?" Justin laughed "I have them. Aunt Lucy gave them to me while I ran out since Uncle Juan was binging out mom's bags." I smiled as we continued our trip to the airport. It wasn't long before we were all climbing out and waving goodbye to Jose as we headed to McCreery Aviation company since we were using a private plane. As soon as we told them who we were a guy escorted us out to the plane and I handed my luggage to the flight crew and made sure we had our passpo

After taking quick showers and getting dressed we all headed down to the cafe I like down the block to grab a bite to eat. Tristan was shocked at how easily I moved through the streets and how some people would smile and wave at me and he couldn't help but smile. I shook my head "what's up with the smile?" "It is still hard for me to believe that you move around so easy here and actually know people from the neighborhood." "Justin and I have lived here now for about nine years." "I am glad you both were able to live in such a nice neighborhood. Thank you, Trin for letting me come with you guys this really helps me know what your and Justin's life was like these last few years." I nod and smile "I am glad you came and are able to see where Justin grew up." "So, dad what do you want to do while we are back. I am pretty sure mom is going to make at least one appearance at the hospital here." "Well, I would like to see where she worked and where you went to school."Justin laugh

The next morning I woke to the smell of bacon I couldn't help but jump out of bed and get dressed for the day. The night before we had discussed that Tristan and Justin would spend the day together and I would head into the office. Thinking back on everything we talked about it was funny how Tristan really didn't like the idea of me not tagging along but I wanted them to have father-son bonding time plus I knew that Justin wanted to show him his favorite places and maybe even talk to him about girls and he so didn't need his mom there for that part. Justin had told me that he planned on taking Tristan to his schools and the cafe where his friends and he hang out and some other locations around London. Shaking my head I grab my phone and call Harold Macintyre "Hello this is Harold." "Hey, Harold this is Dr. Katrina Garza." "Hello, how are you doing?" "I am doing great. I was wondering is it at all possible for us to meet up today?" "Yes, what is this about?" "Benedict he sho

After finishing up at the office I head to my condo trying to figure out how I should tell Justin and Tristan what is going on only to walk in the door to Justin and Tristan dancing around. I tried my best not to fall down laughing when I saw them prancing around the condo. I pulled out my phone and started videotaping them. I heard Justin "dad you need to relax this ball is important and since you are mom's escort you will have to dance with her or else some other bloke will be the one holding her in his arms on the dance floor." "I already know how to dance." "Dad country, Mexican and rock dancing is not going to cut it here. You need to know how to waltz, tango, foxtrot basically ballroom dancing." I lost it there and started laughing my ass off.The idea of Tristan in a monkey suit and ballroom dancing made me completely lose it. I watch my two men glare at me "mom this is not funny." "Yes, it is especially since we don't have a ball to attend." I watch Justin scratch th

After taking a tour of London and showing Tristan all the sights he wanted to see I still couldn't help but laugh that Tristan did the typical touristy things when we went to Buckingham Palace. While there Justin and I just stood back and laughed at him shaking our heads and I couldn't help myself and look at Justin "well I will say one thing.""What's that mom?" "At least I am not blood-related to him." I threw back my head and laughed. "Not funny mom but unlike you, I don't have a choice in being related to him. You chose to love him." I took off after Justin as he cackled "you're in love with a dork."When Tristan caught up to us "what are you two laughing at?" I looked at him "you doing the same lame old touristy crap everyone does." "Also, mom teasing me that we are blood-related and she is glad you two aren't."Tristan smirked, "so, am I son because if we were I couldn't do this." He stalked up to me as I started walking backward and as I turned and started to run he grabbed my

Rebuilding Love 38. Love Continues
TRINA'S POVAfter we all made it home the guys made us this huge fish fry. I could not believe that they had even thought of all the side dishes as well. Tristan, Tom, and David started frying the fish while Hikaru started up some white rice,Juan made Cole Slaw and Jim started air-frying fries and onion rings. I could not believe the guys decided to do all the cooking for us women. It wasn't long before all of the food was done. Hikaru had added a little salt and butter to his rice and it was a nice compliment. I got really excited when he pulled out his homemade Japanese pickles and couldn't help but chow down. We had to warn the rest of the people there that Japanese pickles if you didn't like them immediately were an acquired taste. We also warned them that to some people they smelled like stinky feet. I was stunned when everyone took to them and we all just sat back and enjoyed our meal talking about our trip. Tristan still could not believe that I grabbed a guy's junk

We girls were having a blast with the bodyguards that Jim hired to keep an eye on us. Turns out that Paul is the owner of the security company that Jim contacted to watch us. He was surprised that I was not more upset that the guys hired them but how can I be so far the bodyguards have helped save me? Especially my Tristan he was willing to give me the ultimate sacrifice so I could still be around for Justin. It was funny when Natsuko and Patrice insisted on getting the guys a spa treatment. The two of them grabbed the guy assigned to them by the ear and growled "you will get the same treatments we are getting with the exception of the polish on your nails or else we will make sure you regret ever meeting us. I started giggling watching all these cowboys that ranged from five foot nine inches to over six feet tall scurry to do what two women that were both under five foot five said. We all were given full body massages. Now that was hilarious watching the guys gulp when the ma
Rebuilding Love 36. Moving On
I was sitting in Tristan's office when there was a knock on the door. I said "come in" and in walked that girl Sarah she glared at me "what the fuck are you doing here bitch." I just smiled "I am waiting for my fiancé. Tris." She laughed "you wish he is mine. He will never take you back. Since you cheated on him. Well, that is what he thinks." She didn't realize Tristan had walked in the door so I asked "what do you mean?" "Well, why do you think my mom and I convinced Alex and Linda not to let Carlos tell them the truth? I knew you were raped I am related to Julie. I thought you deserved what you got. I mean come on you were a nobody and she was the head cheerleader and you wouldn't let him go because you were selfish. Plus I had seen Tristan and I knew I had to have him. Hell at first it was just to get laid now I want him because look what he owns. You will not be getting anything bitch it is mine." I hear Tristan clear his throat and she spins around as I start to

Falling Asleep in Tristan's arms after making love all night was wonderful. I couldn't help but think about how my first time and the first time since...was both with Tristan and on the night he proposed. I snuggled closer to him and feeling his naked body close to mine as we were laying there I couldn't help but run my hand along his bare chest. As I was dragging my hand along his chest I heard the downstairs door open and I jumped up and ran into the closet and started getting dressed. The last thing I needed was for Justin to catch us naked and in bed. Even though he knows that we are living together and he loves having his dad around the last thing I want is for him to catch us in bed together.When I make it downstairs I notice it is not Justin but Lucy. She smirks at me "so, how was last night here all alone with your man." I could feel myself blush as she shouts "yes, finally." I heard Tristan hit something and mutter shit and Lucy and I couldn't help but giggle "sounds

"Well, I am still uncomfortable with intimacy. To be honest that is the first time I have been topless since..." "Oh, so you two haven't..." I giggled "No not since the last time we were together. The most that have happened is what you saw. Yes, we are sleeping together but that is it just sleeping." "Ok just don't force yourself to be intimate because you two were in the past. This is a fresh start he should understand he has to work for you." I smiled and told Tom all about London and he smiled "so he really is trying?" "Yep, he is Tom." Once we finished our talk and Tom agreed to knock no matter what since he could have walked in on me changing we made our way to lunch. As we sat there with each other I couldn't help but feel as if I had my bestie back.The months went by and it didn't take Tristan long before he moved into mine and Justin's place. Juan and Lucy were lucky when they found a house for sale down the street and it didn't take them long to move in. I was
Rebuilding Love 33. Home 2
Arriving home was the event that I expected it to be. As soon as we exited the plane our family pulled us into a big hug. The perks of flying in a private jet. They kept wiggling their eyebrows at us and it wasn't until Alex pulled up something on his phone showing us a picture. Turns out that a picture of me and Tristan together surfaced online and everyone has seen the darn thing. It was one of the pictures, my friend, Ralph took of us when we were taking our family pictures. I watched them smirking at us "so, does this mean that huge envelope that says photographs is from you all taking pictures together." Tristan grinned and wrapped his arms around me "yep, we took some family portraits courtesy of her friend Ralph." Tristan chuckled "boy was he a hoot. At first, I wanted to deck him when he wrapped his arms around Trina just to find out that he is gay and was more interested in me than my girl." As soon as he said that Wilamina jumped on it "so it's official you two are
Rebuilding Love 32. Home
After everything at the reception, I decided I did not want to be around the aftermath. I made sure to book the first flight back home and could not wait to put Benedict and his vulgarity behind me. Tristan tried to talk me out of leaving and into staying and maybe even touring some of the neighboring towns around London and even going to France. Before I could explain why I didn't want to do that Justin stepped in "dad you don't understand everything that happened will be the biggest news here in the UK." I watched as Justin took a deep breath "I really don't want mom here for the fallout. Even though there are a lot of people on her side there will still be some that will hold her responsible for their families being in the spotlight." Tristan nodded "well I guess going home is the best option. Will we be able to return?" Justin laughed "oh, yeah in about a month this will be old news." I smiled "Ok we have a flight at eleven in the morning and since it is an international

We continued to walk in silence just enjoying spending time with each other and it wasn't long before we made it to the café and went inside to eat. Sitting there after ordering Tristan and I talked about the different things we were hoping would happen to us in the future.It surprised me that most of what Tristan hoped would happen in the next few weeks was me slowly letting him into my life completely. He smiled at me "you already let me in a little bit today more than I thought was possible.""What do you mean Tris?" "I will not lie to you when you slipped your hand out of mine I felt my heart break thinking I went to fast. Yet when I felt your arm snake around my waist it took all my energy not to grab you and spin you around I was so happy that you felt safe enough to let me pull you closer."I smiled "Tris, I love you and after you helped wake me up from my night terror and left me asleep alone in my room even though I asked you to stay you proved to me that I could trust you.
Rebuilding Love 30. London Part 5
We all chuckled as we walked into my building. I made sure to select my floor when we got in the elevator and clicked on my floor once the door closed. It wasn't long before we made it to our condo and Justin ran in and grabbed his bag running out. I glared at him and yelled, "you called Joann to meet us didn't you?""He just smirked "what me? Never." I laughed shaking my head as he blew me a kiss and left with Joann. "So, how often does he spend the night at her house?" "Not often, he usually only spent the night when I worked late. Most of the time he stayed with Lucy and Juan.""Oh, well I am glad to know you were not leaving him alone all the time." It wasn't long before Tristan was laughing "I think you are right and he called Joann before and had this planned."I came out in an old outfit I wore when I dated Tristan that he loved. It was a white top with eyelet material overlay and a light blue skirt with buttons all the way down the front that could be left open to reveal a whi
