I thought I needed to add this moment with Davis and Olive. I hope you guys liked the chapter.
Lucas' P.O.V. **Song Suggestion: Only You by Julia Westlin** I felt so antsy as I waited for my Rose at the end of the aisle. Everything looked spectacular, the flowers in the garden were vibrant and beautiful. Their floral scent was carried in the cool September breeze. Mom was holding Abi in her arms sitting in the front row before me. Abi's strawberry blonde hair was almost hidden behind the large white bow she sported. The white dress almost swallowed her whole, but she looked so adorable. My Rose bud has stolen my heart completely. She and I have late night talks as I work and rock her back to sleep. Her mother and she are everything to me. They are the sun that I revolve around, the lights of my life. I am the luckiest man on the planet. I know this, and right now I'm the luckiest man, waiting for his beautiful bride to emerge. The music began to play and everyone stood as Rose came into view. My heart stilled and raced all at the same time. My eyes misted as this moment too
Olive’s P.O.V. **Song Suggestion: To Build A Home by Holly Henry** “Can I open my eyes yet?” I asked Lucas, feeling so impatient. I wanted to know what this surprise was. When we arrived home from our honeymoon, he said we had one stop before we were going to get Abi. I was ready to see my daughter, but he said this couldn’t wait. He tied a tie over my eyes. I’m pretty sure it was the tie he wore at the end of the aisle as he waited for me. I will forever remember that moment, when our eyes met and the rest of the world faded away. My husband. “Almost,” he said with his hands on my hips as he guided me. I could see cobble stone steps through the small slit left between my cheeks and the tie. Where are we? He finally stopped pushing me forward. I could feel him step around me and stand before me as he slid the tie off my face. My eyes squinted as they got reacquainted with the light. “I had this made for us when I found out you were pregnant. I used what I knew from your jou
Olive’s P.O.V. “We have to wait until he leaves, and then we can go in through the back. There’s a window that never locked and I’m pretty sure he never fixed it,” I instructed Daisy and Lucas. Little David sat in Abi’s car seat in the back, peacefully sleeping while we adults felt like we’d received adrenaline shots. Joe had called me yesterday to tell me that Daisy had showed up at his door. She’d lost my number but remembered where he worked. She had David in one arm with the other cradled to her chest, broken. According to Joe, and now I see for myself, she had a black eye and a cut on her eyebrow. I know dad is going insane searching for her and David right now. I was glad that she didn’t leave David behind the way mom left me. Of course, David is only a small baby, and maybe that’s why she couldn’t leave him. I know it will complicate things, but since Joe took her to the police station to press charges, it will make things easier on the David custody front. Lucas is hiring on
Let me start by saying I'd never been one to have a one night stand. I stayed a virgin all through high school, barely losing my virginity 6 months ago to my long term boyfriend Julius, who I walked in on slamming into my friend, and roommate, Clover. I can still hear the sound of their skin slapping against each other with Clover's loud moans as background music. She sounded like a stupid car alarm. What hurt was that she saw me and smiled as Julius came inside her. When he opened his eyes and found me just standing there, he froze. He chased after me, out of the apartment, swearing it didn't mean anything. That he was stupid, and that only I mattered. He begged for me to stay and forgive him, but I'm not one to forgive unfaithfulness. I ran off crying to my best friend Hailey. She has a penthouse in Manhattan that her family uses for vacations. She offered for me to stay with her there. She was the one that dragged me out to the nightclub where the sex-god that now stood before me
I woke up with a massive headache from the amount of alcohol I consumed last night on an empty stomach. I should have eaten before going out, but I was too depressed. Today, I'm more enraged than heartbroken about what Julius did. He wasted my time. He wasted me. I won't spare him a thought. He can keep fu.cking Clover for all I care. They deserve each other. I dragged myself out of bed, feeling my head spin, but knowing I needed to get to my calculus 3 class. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and tied my hair up in a messy bun. I put on my Columbia hoodie, knowing it would be chilly in the brisk September air. I grabbed a pair of jeans and my favorite running shoes. I need to run off this hangover. I took my bag and jogged to campus. I thought I would throw up a couple of times on the way, but powered through it, feeling my head clear before I made it to class. I opened the door, taking a seat near the back as professor Dune came in, setting his things down. I love calculus, but
I found an empty table out in the quad, pulling my laptop out. I typed out the politest email I could manage to my advisor, hoping to switch my classes. It was only 11 now. The door fiasco and doctor visit made me miss my other morning class. I had to send my professor an email explaining what happened and asking for today's assignments. I sent him a picture of my after care instructions with the date printed as proof. I sighed, closing the laptop and my eyes. I let the sun soak into my skin, filling me with endorphins as I enjoyed the nature around me. The sun was suddenly blocked, so I opened my eyes to look at the cloud that was large enough to block it. Only it wasn't a cloud, it was Julius standing in front of me. I scowled at him, cursing the freshman now. I can't even yell at Julius. I have to sit and listen to him give me shitty excuses. I opened my laptop typing out my response to him already. I knew what was about to come out of his mouth. "Liv, I am so sorry." No you're
The week flew by without a snag. I avoided Julius at all costs, taking new routes to classes and even being early to the classes we had in the same building. Leo hadn't texted me since Monday and I was starting to think he'd forgotten about us going out today. I honestly wouldn't mind as I'm sure he only invited me out of pity. I was thankfully able to talk with minimal pain now. The swelling had gone down and the stitches were slowly dissolving. I was grateful to have my voice back, and be able to thank my advisor for pulling miracles and getting me out of Professor Dune's class. She got me in Professor Lewis' class, which was my last class for today. Leo: Hey Olive. Can't wait to see you tonight! We're going to the tunnel nightclub in Manhattan. We're all meeting up outside the dorms if you wanna come with us. Otherwise you can meet us there at 9. Well shi.t, it seems he didn't forget. Olive: Sounds like fun. See you there! I sighed, pushing away the insecurities that were tryi
Lucas' P.O.V.There was my rose, standing before me in a black small dress. A dress that left little to the imagination. Her red hair had been straightened, seeming so much longer now. She looked hot as hell with those red stilettos that matched her hair, and shade of lipstick, perfectly. Leo had gotten her some fruity drink, as if a girl like her would like something like that. She took it with a smile, being polite for some reason. I switched her drink for my own. I knew she would love the burn of the alcohol down her throat. I wasn't wrong as she downed it without even making a face. As much as I tried I hadn't been able to get her out of my head since that night. That's not to say I haven't tried, but no woman could seem to excite me the same way she did. Her body was perfect with the unexpected tattoo sleeve on her side that went from just below her breast to her upper thigh. I knew she probably got those done without a cry of pain. She was tough as nails. It was the way she s
