Larry reaches over and kisses the top of little Larry's head. He giggles beneath his father and dips his spoon into his cereal to eat. I tell him to eat slowly so he doesn't stain his uniform and he nods enthusiastically and continues eating. I have put his food in his lunch box too and in a matter
"Wanna go get ice cream?" I ask him. He nods excitedly. "I want ice cream, mommy." Oh I love it when he calls me that. It always makes me feel happy and blessed to have him call me that. I feel really lucky to have a family: a child that calls me mommy and trusts me. And a husband who loves me u
Tiffany My head is spinning and I don't know what to do. How can my day just go from good to bad in a split second? Where do I go to now? I hurry out of the underground parking lot, forgetting to carry the things I had bought at the mall and head to the security part of the mall. I was gaspin
The man plays the security footage and my eyes almost pop out of my head. Because there in the footage, it shows that when the car in the parking lot first screeched to my front, I let go of Larry's hand and let him walk to the car while I watch as the car pulls away. Then I drop the things I bought
I pause, shaking. I knew that he was upset but was he upset enough to call me worthless? I couldn't breathe and no matter how many times I will myself to say something else I just can not. His words sends a shiver down my spine and at once I think of Larry again. Will he react this way? Will he hate
Tiffany "You are lucky Larry isn't back from his trip," Caroline says stiffly. "He's taking the next flight back but you better be gone before he arrives. He's fuming. And he's hell bent on having you locked." "That's a lie," I say but deep down, the thought that it might be true sickens me. In
"It isn't important," I say. "I'll tell you tomorrow." She looks at my wet clothes and bag and shaks her head. "Do you want to rest now?" "I'm fine." "I made dinner," Amila calls out of the kitchen. Laurene rolls her eyes and slips her hands into mine as we head to the kitchen. True to her
"So you took him to the mall, got a message from me and went to the parking underground lot only to be hit in the head and Larry taken?" Laurene asks. I nod. "Can I see the message?" She asks. "Because I swear I never sent a text." I pass her the phone and lean my head back. She reads the tex
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
