I say nothing. Okay, maybe I had taken this too far by mentioning her but even the thought of Caroline and I married makes me want to throw up. "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that," I say to her. She gets up on her feet and walks around the office. "What do you mean, Larry? Let's not pret
Larry This fate is well deserved. And sometimes I pray for redemption even though I know it probably will never come. In this bar with the blinking lights, I try to block out the past but it only comes back stronger. I sip from my beer. Then look around at the bar. It is not full since it's lat
"A model? She always was beautiful but she seems to be living her life as she wants." He nods. "Do you want to call the boss of Orange Fashion Home to warn him off her? That could be the beginning of your revenge too." "Beginning of my revenge?" I shake my head. This is too small, too unfitted f
For a while we don't say anything to each other. "It's not about her at the end of the day," I conclude looking at another table. "It's about my son and I will do what's best for him. I'm not even going to think about Caroline." "You probably won't be able to marry her anyway, as long as you ar
Tiffany I do go to meet him and agree to work with him. He quickly hugged me and accepted me in and everything went well. We even became friends because he was kind. He asked them to train me, and I am still going through the training. I'm too ambitious. That's the only thing I can say. I want
He says nothing but he lets go of my hand and I don’t know if he’s offended by my question. He turns to me and smiles again. “I’m a pretty good cook, Tiffany.” I listen as he sends the staff away. It’s mostly for privacy but I wonder, as I have always done, since Adrian started giving me more atte
The kitchen space is even bigger and breathtaking. There’s an overly bright light overhead in the shape of a star. Adrian winks at me as I enter and when I plop my elbow on the kitchen island, he drags his words out. “The dress looks good on you,” he says. “I have to admit you’re good with these
Tiffany "Are you dating someone?" Laurene asks me the moment the phone clicks and her voice comes on. I pause, one hand held midway while my frown deepens. She's supposed to know me, right? There's no way in hell I'll fall back on one of my greatest mistakes after what I went through in the past.
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
