Some people always manage to surprise us with what they do. And I was more than surprised by what Pierre said. I was absolutely shocked, stunned. Pierre's eyes bored into mine, asking for answers. I wanted to say yes, but I had no idea when this shit was going to pass.

“I don't know how long it will take for all of this to clear up. I whispered, hopelessness already sinking into my voice. “And I'll only be in Italy for five more days.

Pierre smiled.

“I said, man. I'll wait. And I'm surprised.

- Astonished?

“I live in London too, Jennifer. All my work runs from there.

I almost spilled the wine I was drinking.

- Are you serious? How did Adrian—” I let the thought hang. We both knew why. Adrian thought his brother would break my heart if we ever got involved.

“Relax, Jennifer. Pierre smiled, feeling my inner turmoil, well, the turmoil. “I've been known to jump from woman to woman. And I don't blame my little brother for keeping her away. But I changed. You are th

    Even though I was mentally smiling, I gave them both a cold look. "These bad manners... “Sorry, Jenny. Andreas said, making puppy dog ​​eyes at me. I melted. - Do not apologize. I know Pierre forced you to do this. - Hey! Pierre protested, but when I turned to him, he muttered an apology. I smiled, sitting down at the table. Breakfast was fun. Andreas and Pierre continued to crack jokes and I was silent most of the time. I loved the relationship between them. They looked like father and son, in sync with each other. I was so mesmerized looking at them, I couldn't look away. "Jennifer?" Pierre's voice brought me back to reality. - Yea? “You looked lost for a minute. He looked confused. I had the sudden urge to kiss him. “No… nothing. - I bit my lip. - Just thinking. 'Thinking too much?' Pierre frowned. I shook my head at him. We left the hotel soon after, Pierre and I taking turns looking after Andreas. Andreas was the happiest boy in the world with the turn

    — Jennifer! Adrian exclaimed, smiling as I walked through the door. I was still mad at him. Maybe I was being irrational, but I was still annoyed with him. - Hey. I smiled anyway, but a small smile. His brow furrowed. “Are you still mad at me? I'm sorry, Jenny. I shrugged. - He is well. Before he could say anything else, I heard Marie. I smiled at her as she pulled me into a hug. - Hey my dear! You left us without a word. Did you and Adrian have a fight? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. “No Marie, none of that. There was an emergency at work. And I'm back now. I made a two-week promise to Adrian. Adrian looked away, embarrassed. “I'm going to take a shower now, if you don't mind. Marie smiled. “Oh no honey, go and get some rest. I'll call you when we go to serve dinner. I think Pierre can join us. I have to call you. Pierre's name sent a flutter to my heart. I was acting like a love-sick teenager. But I couldn't take it as a bad thing. I went to my r

    I looked in total shock at the smiling face of Mr. Lawrence. I was beyond surprised. I was waiting for someone to start laughing and announce that this was a big joke. But nobody did. I swallowed hard, looking at Adrian. Adrian looked pale. All the color in his face had drained away, and he looked at me in fear. When his gaze locked on mine, he looked away, embarrassed. Without my consent, my eyes found Pierre. He looked murderous. As if someone had just told him that his company had been sabotaged or worse. His eyes met mine, his angry look on my face making me look away. I could recognize the look he was giving me. He looked at me with accusation and disbelief. “Uh…” My voice broke. - I can not! I'm not... My voice was shaking. Marie looked stunned by what I said, as did Shelly and Frederich. “You can't make a decision for her. Pierre finally spoke, his voice hard. "But they've known each other for years!" And they will become a couple. Marie pleaded, and I i

    They say goodbye hurts more than anything. That hugging and kissing a person is not enough when they leave. But what happens when you don't get a chance to say goodbye? What if the person isn't there the next morning so you can say goodbye? Devastation. Rage. Hurt. Betrayal. Fear. These are the emotions we feel, in a nutshell. Devastation because it left us without a proper goodbye. Anger and hurt, for the same reason. Betrayal, for not being treated as it should. And finally, fear. The fear that we will never see the person again. That maybe the time we spent with her was limited. That was exactly how I felt when I woke up in an empty penthouse. Well, not empty, exactly. But I don't think Adrian counted for anything. Pierre had left me the morning after I agreed to be his girlfriend. True to his word, we don't have sex. He didn't actually do anything remotely sexual. The only thing he did was hug me. But I can't deny it, I loved sleeping in his arms. Even thou

    At the mention of Pierre's name, my ears immediately perked up. - AND? Adrian laughed. 'So anxious?' I glared at him, telling him not to fill up. 'He said he's going back to London the day after tomorrow.' Or in four days at most. - Four days? I couldn't hide the disappointment in my voice. Another four days without seeing him? I wasn't sure how I would tolerate it. why didn't he call me even once?“Why didn't he call me? - Just as I thought, the words left my mind before I could filter my thoughts. “I'll ask the next time I talk to him. Adrian smiled. - Let's go inside. I don't plan on freezing to death. Narrowing my eyes at him, I marched into our building, gritting my teeth when I heard laughter behind me. I needed a hot shower. And coffee. *** - I'm ready. — Those were the first words I heard when I opened the door to a very shirtless Adrian, holding a bottle of wine, and McDonalds boxes in his hands. - There is? — To vomit from drinking so much. - Adrian

    - There! I exclaimed, grabbing the arms of the chair as the hairdresser tugged at my hair. Adrian smiled at me, making me look at him. I was in my apartment, getting ready for the last two hours. I was surprised when right after breakfast, Shelly called me to say the press release would be today. On Pierre's advice, I had accepted without saying a word to the contrary. And I asked my cafe manager to close and have the day off. Pierre dropped us off right after breakfast, saying he had work to do. “You're enjoying this, aren't you? I asked Adrian, frowning. - What you think? Adrian smiled. “This is more fun than Geordie Shore. I squinted at him. “It will come back, Lawrence. Instantly, Adrian raised his hands in surrender. — Calm down, woman. I'm not the one pulling your hair. I'm just here for moral support. I shook my head at his reasoning. He knew exactly what to say and when. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Did you call Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley, better known

    "How is your relationship with the Harrisons?" I ground my teeth. - It's great. I'm getting to know them. "Are you really going to take over the company or are you going to leave it in the hands of a CEO?" — I'm thinking of running the company. I want to do my best. - Are you dating someone? I did not answer. I didn't know what to say. Frederich took over. “There are too many questions. Once again, thank you all for coming. Before anyone could ask any more questions, we were ushered offstage. I walked up to Adrian in endless daze. He opened his arms to me, and I quickly wrapped myself in them. This experience was not one I wanted to repeat. Never. It was emotionally draining. I could see the judgment on people's faces. I saw the seizure. And most of all, I saw the heartbreak. I wasn't good enough. Maybe I never would. “Are you okay, Jenny? - Yea. I said with a shaky voice. - We can go? Adrian spoke to Frederich while I was still in his arms, but I didn't he

    Fairy tales are fun. And horrible at the same time. They give you a dream, a perfect picture. They say that no matter what, there will always be a Prince Charming to save your life. Prince Charming will send a search party for you, with your shoe as the only clue. Or he will fight all the monsters and kiss her to wake her up. Or else, free her from the ivory tower full of witches. When I told Pierre to kiss me to wake me up, I didn't really mean it. I didn't expect him to kiss me at all. But that's exactly what he did. The sweet softness of his lips touched mine and his husky voice woke me up. - Wake up. I groaned. — Jennifer. - Go away. I murmured, snuggling into his chest. — Jennifer. Pierre said again, the firmness in his voice. “Wake up or I'm going to throw cold water on you. I opened one eye and looked at him. - What's your problem? Pierre looked amused. "You're not a morning person, are you?" I groaned. - Stop talking. And turn off those damn lights. H

    Calm down, Jennifer. Remember to breathe. You have time. I repeated to myself all the time. The problem is, it's hard to focus on these things when you're in excruciating pain that feels like it's going to rip a part of your body off. “I'm here, man. Pierre's calm, reassuring voice wasn't helping either. I knew it was meant to be comforting, but if he said it one more time, I'd throw the first thing my hand could reach at his head. Adrian was driving like a madman down the street and I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to get into the operating room right away. I had been stubborn and waited until the last minute, apparently. If I'd decided to go to the hospital the night before, we wouldn't be swearing at slow drivers or running through traffic lights at noon. “Adrian, go faster. She's crushing my hand. - Pierre said in a pained voice. I had taken her hand by the time I got in the car and she must have been white from my blood pressure. "Pierre, I'm not going to... aaaaaaaah!"

    The next day the cyclone was still raging, which meant me and him stuck together in the villa. And after last night, I really don’t want to see Pierre at all, or his smirk. I walked to the huge study and started browsing books. The only good thing about my husband was that he had huge collections of books. I smiled at books from my favourite author. I took one and curled up on the recliner.As I opened the book, the smell wafted through my noise. I always found the smell of old book…amazing. “I wonder why I am seeing you everywhere” I heard his voice and turned towards the door. He was standing there, walking towards the desk. Unlike other days, he was wearing faded jeans and black t-shirt. He looked almost human but for the anger in his eyes. However, his face looked weird.I frowned. “What’s wrong?”“Why do you assume something is wrong?” he looked quite surprised by my question.“If everything was fine you would have a scowl on your face and your taunts would have

    “Hey wake up” I heard his voice. Did I hear concern in his voice? Why was everything blank anyways?I felt cold hands on my arms, shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes to see a very angry Pierre. He sighed. “The next time you run off, its over.” He said and helped me up. I looked down and saw the bloody hole I fell into. Who digs a hole in the middle of a path?We walked all the way to the house with him grumpy and mumbling how stupid I was. The sky went from sunny morning to a grey dark. “Shit” my husband stopped in front of me and I bumped right on his back. He was looking up “It’s going to rain” he said and turned to me.“I trust you have enough energy to run?” he asked and I nodded. By the time we reached the house however, we were both soaked. I walked immediately to my room and headed for a warm bath. It was nice to soak in bubbly warm water after being in the dirt and running though my feet hurt like hell after my fall.I stared at the ceiling, wondering again,

    It feels great when what one thinks actually happens. Two days since we arrived on the island and Pierre was still stuck in his study with his laptop and phone. I on the other hand, had the privilege to tour the beautiful island. On the north was an amazing sandy beach with a myriad of clear blue water and the sunny sky. The south of the island however, there was this gorgeous cliff with huge waves crashing onto them. This island was amazing. I was only able to tour the north and south in the two days. “You are free to do whatever you want to. There is only us and the house staff on the island, so you should be safe from paparazzi as well” Pierre had said before disappearing into the study. Well at least that put my mind to rest. I was able to enjoy this holiday. “Breakfast!” I heard the familiar voice call. Ever since we came, I had not seen him at all. When I turned, it was to find the business magnate Pierre gone, and a very tired looking one instead. However, unlike the usual b

    I glanced at Adrian as he reached my side at the altar. Fucking asshole. “If you weren't my brother, you have no idea what I would do to you, you idiot. I muttered. Adrian smiled shamelessly. - But I am. “Thank heavens for that. I looked at him. Then smile. “The best thing our parents did was give me a brother. Before he could answer anything, the wedding march started playing, and my girl came on the scene. My breath caught, and once again I was reminded of what a lucky bastard I was that this wonderful woman wanted to marry me. She had a charming smile on her face, and walked down the aisle with both parents, one on each arm. One thing that could only come from Jennifer Kingsley Harrison. It only made me love her more. When she reached me, she bit her bottom lip and gave me a smile that was as beautiful as it was intimate. That smile was just for me. - Hey. she whispered as she threaded her fingers through mine. “You're a cat. “You're not bad either. I whispered back, a smile

    - Are you going to marry. Adrian's voice was stunned. As if he didn't know beforehand, or as if he'd just heard about it. I raised my eyebrows. “That's why we're here, and I'm in a wedding dress. — Shit. You are indeed getting married. he repeated. I frowned and was about to ask if he still had a hangover, but then he spoke again. “You should remain a spinster full of cats. “I hate cats, Adrian. I laughed at him. - Even so. Who's stupid enough to marry you? - His brother. Stop playing the repressed bitch at my marriage. “I'm not being repressed. Adrian smiled at me and then hugged me. - You look beautiful. My brother won't know what hit him. But I admit I'm a little jealous that you're getting married and I'm not. “Maybe you can drag Dylan to a little chapel here in Vegas. Has he rested from the trip? Dylan didn't come to Vegas with us, he had some errands to do before he left England, but he got on a plane a few hours later so he arrived just as Adrian and I were back from

    Pierre stared at me expectantly. I was teary-eyed and my words stuck in my throat. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't say no. Honestly, when I met Pierre I never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams, that he would be my husband. And here he was now, waiting for an answer that was sure to be clear on my face like the moon outside. - Yea. He let out an audible sigh. I laughed and brushed the tears away with the back of my hands, then he walked over to the little table, opened the box and knelt down. “Jennifer Kingsley Harrison, it's a great honor to make you my bride. Thank you for accepting to make my life a happier life. He put the ring on my finger, stood up and pulled me to him. We pressed our lips together and walked over to the bed. "Why don't you let me put that rack's lingerie over there?" I asked against his mouth as he kissed me. “We can skip that part. He slipped his hands behind my back and unbuttoned my bra. “And go straight to the end of the night. I smile

    “Wake up, sleepyhead. I heard a noise in the distance. — Hey. Wake up. I felt soft kisses on my back. "Are you really going to want to stay in bed with the day I've prepared for us?" Teeth started playing with my ear. Hands cupped my ass and then my breasts. Okay, now I was wide awake. — Hmm. “Finally, an answer. And then, the hands were gone. “You weren't supposed to stop. I grumbled. “I'd love to start the day with sex, but we're going to have a full day. Pierre laughed, a low, husky sound. "But what about postponing it to the end of the day and the beginning of the night?" If all goes well, I hope to be inside you before nine. I turned my head back and saw a small mischievous smile on his lips. "Pierre Lawrence, what are you up to?" - Stand up. he just replied. He kissed my forehead and got out of bed. I stretched out still under the sheets and decided to find out what he was doing. I took a quick shower and went to meet him on the bedroom balcony. The view

    “If I didn't want you all wet, we wouldn't have come here. Then he raised a naughty eyebrow. The next second I was in the icy water and felt it taking over my whole body. — Pierre Lawrence. I coughed and cursed him a thousand different things. The cretin just laughed. I splashed water on him, making him cough too. He did the same, instantly making me feel colder. This went on for some time, until the temperature of the water no longer mattered. “Shall we go swimming?” he suggested, and I nodded. He was pretty sure we looked like crazy people, swimming and playing in the water in the middle of the night like we were kids, but we didn't care. - Cum! — When he suddenly screamed, I swam to his side. - What happened? “Just a damn crab. he muttered, and I started to laugh. - It's not funny. He grumbled, sounding like a child. “Oh, yes it is. He took my hand, pulling me to him. - Come here. You are so beautiful. Normally, I would have shied away, especially since I was
