"I'm fine," I say. After the doctor leaves, William pushes a chair closer and sits with his legs pulled in. Then, thinking much of it, he drags his feet out and leans his upper body forward. "So…you know me," he says. Can't let go of that, can you? "How?" "You were a regular back when I
I shrug. "You are a smooth talker with the ladies. Everyone around probably knows this. So why are you acting this way?" He laughs now, understanding dawning on him. "What can I say? The girls all fancy me." It should be annoying just listening to him brag but I know he's joking and because of t
Larry. "Who was that, Tiffany?" I ask again. I shouldn't be bothered about someone dropping her off but I had stood by the window and watched as she hesitated before climbing out. How he called out to her like an old friend and she had turned around. I don't like to feel this way but when the fee
"I should go to bed now," she says to me. "Yes, sure," I tell her and help her to her room. I get her to the bed and place her gently on it. Then I cover her up with the sheets and smile down at her. "Are you hungry?" I ask. "I've been perfecting my skills and let me tell you…I am already a ma
"I…" I sigh. This shouldn't be hard but it is. I sit upright and she does the same, looking at me keenly. "Is something wrong?" She asks. "Is this about the contract? Am I doing it all wrong?" "No, of course not," I say. Then turn to look at her fully. "After Caroline broke my heart and abandon
Caroline I don't like Larry's new wife and never have. Which is why I have decided to make my plan. And it's easy. I'm good at making plans which will make Larry come back to me in the end, so we can have our perfect family back again. It's why I've taken the modeling job for Larry's company. It's
He seems taken aback. "You're engaged?" For a split second, I want to say yes to this; to insist, above everything else, that I am engaged so he can see what his loss is but I just can't because that isn't part of the plan. "It's new," I say instead. He nods and looks me dead in the eye. "Ar
"That's good," I breathe a sigh of relief. "One more question though," he looks dead serious. And dangerous. "What else?" I ask. "What do you want us to do with her?" He asks as he flips one picture out from the file. It's Tiffany's face in the picture, the one before the wedding when I had ha
By having him so close to me again, I feel like I can become someone good enough for both of us. "Just be careful around him," Madeline says. "I know you…Tiffany. Please be careful." "I shouldn't fall in love with him?" I tease because we both know that I am hopelessly in love with Larry who is
I square my shoulders and look at her dead in the eyes. “I don’t care about anything else, Sweets. I want you to be someone I can be myself with. I want to protect you, love you, and ache for you. I want to be the man that you seek for. Please let me be that for you…for us.” Is This Real?
Larry I pass her the chocolates and she opens it and takes one out. She bites from it and closes her eyes to savor the sweet taste. “Do you like it?” I ask. She nods. “You have good taste. Try it with me, Larry.” We sit together on the couch in the living room and I take one of the chocolat
I actually atop breathing and a shiver runs down my spine when I hear this because, somehow, I know it might be the truth and me clinging onto old memories and what ifs and maybes are because I can’t get over leaving again. “Hard truth, Tiffany?” Laurene asks but she doesn’t wait for an answer. “
I raise my cup and lean forward. We are sitting in a circle so it makes it easy for me to look from either of the friends here with me. “What should we toast to?” Laurene licks her lips and raises her glass too. “To us being the most creative friends on the East Coast.” “To our reunion!” Brynn s
Tiffany I go to visit Laurene at her place to tell her about what has been happening. "I don't support you leaving Adrian for whatever you are doing!" She says to me. "Is that why you gave him my number and where to find me?" I ask. I'm still angry that she did but when I ask this, I am not r
"That is lovely," she says and we kiss again. It feels like this is the best life. I leave her house and go home. I am happy with how everything is turning out to be that for a while I seem to have forgotten about Caroline's cheating and her hurting our son until she shows up at my house the n
"And the divorce papers you sent?" She asks with a rather sharp tone. "That hurt me. What about it? What are we to do with that?" "Tear it up," I say. "I can't stand a minute with you, sweets. Forgive me and stay with me." I take her to my car and drive her home. On the drive home, we are silent
Larry Tiffany kisses me and it takes all of my willpower not to slam her into me and kiss her with all of my pent-up emotions. I miss her dearly and having her so close to me only ignites the longing and doubles it too. After she breaks the kiss, we stand apart just breathing in each other's s
