~Kisses P.O.V.~ Today we are going to the beach. I only have one bikini and it’s a little small on me. I got home late last night so I’m exhausted. I get my green bikini top on and throw the white bottoms with palm leaves on. I put a tank top and some shorts on and throw my flip flops on. Stuffing a towel, sunblock and some water in a bag I put simple makeup on. When I was a kid I used to go to the beach every chance I got. Grace and Luke lived on the beach. It was always the highlight of my week. I remember always trying to surf. I got good at it towards the end but she was always better than me. “Hey babe” Daniel knocks on the door, walking in. “Hey” I kiss his cheek. “Up for a quickie?” Daniel smirks. “Dirty boy. Dirty little boy” I sing out, picking up my bag. He shakes his head, laughing. “I can’t wait to see you in that bikini” He rubs his hands together, smiling. “Don’t get ahead of yourself, I’m not taking this off” I laugh. “What? Why not?” He whines, pulling on my
I woke up early today and decided to go to the barn after leaving Daniel a note. It’s been a while since I rode so I’ll get on for a little. “Hey bud” I smile, petting JD. He nudges me with his nose, happy to see me. “Come on, lets go” I put the halter on him and bring him to the cross ties. I quickly brush him and tack him up, not wanting to be here forever. Maybe I’ll take Daniel someone later, on a date. “Okay, come on Jay” I pet his neck, mounting him. “Lets make it a good one” I smile as we walk around the ring twice, then change direction for a warm up. After a half hour of riding I put JD back and walk back to Daniel. “Kiss?” He calls out. “Yeah Dan, I’m back. Go back to sleep” I kiss his forehead. “Lay with me?” He hugs my waist. “I was at the barn. I’m all sweaty and I smell like horse” I laugh. “I don’t care” He mumbles, snuggling into me. Give in and just let him fall back asleep before I swiftly slip out of his arms and take a shower. After the shower I wrap
Almost as soon as I got home last night I fell asleep. This morning I woke up bright and early and decided to make myself a cup of coffee and sit on the back porch. Its summer and I haven’t felt this way during summer in a while. Usually, I would be at work or sitting in my room, scared of being assaulted. Not anymore. A huge smile makes its way on to my face as I breathe in the fresh air, realizing, I’m finally at peace. A couple hours pass and Daniel makes his way outside. “Hey beautiful. What are you doing out here?” He kisses me softly, sitting in the chair next to me. “Just admiring everything, thinking. How’s your sleep?” I smile. “Okay. I slept good, and you?” He asks. “Never slept better” I place my mug on the floor next to my chair. “You’re in a great mood” He smiles at me, successfully turning my insides to goo. “I am” I nod, confirm his statement. “I’m happy to hear that” He holds his arms out. I get up and sit in his lap, his arms going around me and rocking me
I wake up to an empty bed. Where’s Daniel? I slowly get up, wrapping a robe around my body. I brush my teeth and complete my usual morning routine. ‘Hey Babe, sorry about the early leave. I had to run out quickly but I’ll be home soon. I love you -Mason’ I smile at the note, slipping some socks on and making my way downstairs to feed Porsha. She runs down the stairs, right after me and jumps at my feet, seeing the bowl. The house is eerily quiet, not a sound besides Porsha eating. Its very rare the house is completely empty at 9:00 in the morning. I shrug, preparing myself a large cup of coffee and sitting down on the couch, grabbing my book. “Kisses?” I hear the door open. “In the family room” I call, taking a sip of my coffee. A couple minutes later he comes in, kissing the top of my head. He sits next to me, picking me up and placing me on his lap. “What are you reading?” Daniel mumbles into my hair. “That book I started. One of Us Lying” I show him the cover. “How
The date was amazing. It was beautiful but nothing extravagant. Exactly what I needed. Daniel dropped me home last night after and I slept terrible. Nightmare after nightmare it was time to wake up for work. I drag myself out of bed, changing into my uniform and grabbing my keys. I blast the music, keeping me from falling asleep. “Oh God” I sigh, pulling up to my job. At five in the morning, there are people waiting outside for me to open. It’s gonna be a long day. I quickly get everything set up and start taking peoples orders. Its just me for an hour until a girl comes strolling in. “Sorry I’m late, there was an accident” She rushes, apologizing. “Its okay” I smile, knowing she’s being sincere. “I’m going to get everything ready, do you mind taking the orders?” I ask. “Of course not. You’re here for Sydney right? Kisses” She asks. “Yeah, just for the next couple of days” I nod, cleaning the appliances and taking the food out, putting it in the window. “Okay” She smiles, taki
~Daniels P.O.V~ I woke up, made Kisses some breakfast and drove her to work, telling her, I’ll call later. I speed off to Brooks house, finding his driveway empty, regarding his car. A nauseous feeling courses through my body. There’s always a car in the driveway, if not more. I jump out of the car, knocking on the door. Brooks opens the door, his eyes bloodshot and droopy, his hair is sticking in many directions and his clothes are wrinkled and stained. “Dude, what’s going on?” I stutter, taking in his appearance. “Man, I’m a mess” He ushers me in, closing the door behind me. “What happened? Does Kylie know?” I sit on the couch. “Yeah, yeah. She knows. I’m having some family stuff” He rubs his eyes, almost hoping that will give him some energy. “Like what?” I question, not wanting to pry. “My moms not doing well. She’s been admitted to the hospital. The doctors think her cancer is back” He says. My heart drops. Ms. Price, my second mother is sick again. “What?” I gasp. “
~Skip a week~ “Hey Kiss. Do you have any plans this week? Like later today?” Daniel says, flopping onto my couch. “Nope, just work and such. Why do you ask?” I take the lollipop out of my mouth. “Okay, you’re coming with me on vacation” He smiles. “And, don’t resist” He continues, causing me to roll my eyes. “Wow, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten out of town. How much do I owe you?” I say grabbing my wallet. “Nothing. Please, you have more than enough to worry about” He says, hugging me. “Daniel-“ I say as he kisses me, shutting me up. “Lets go pack” He grabs my hand and we go into my room. “Daniel Green, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Cody says, sitting in my hanging chair. “Hey man, we are just packing. I’m taking Kisses away with my family” Daniel smiles, shaking his hand. “Cool, where to?” Cody asks, curious. “Yeah, where are we going?” I say, searching through my closet. “That, my love is a surprise” He kisses my cheek, picking up a tight, short shirt and pla
“Kiss, get up” Daniel says, shaking me awake. “Dan” I whine, clinging to his sheets. “Are you guys up?” Kylie asks knocking on the door. “I’m trying” Daniel says tugging at my waist. Kylie laughs, “Help him” She turns to Brooks. Soon Brooks gently removes my hands from the comforter and Daniel quickly picks me up, placing me on the floor. “Change into these” Kylie says handing me clothes. I drag myself into the bathroom, changing into a white tank top with some really soft cute patterned shorts. I throw on my sandals and put my hair into a ponytail, making it look messy. My makeup is natural and soon I’m done. I’m thankful for the adorable, but extremely comfortable outfit. Who wants to travel in tight, restricting clothes? I sluggishly walk out of the bathroom, grabbing my bag and heading downstairs where everyone else is. “Aw. You look cute Kiss” Kylie says, eating a strawberry. “Thanks” I smile sitting in the last chair on the island. “Someone looks tired. What kept you
I have been Daniel Green for 7 years now. After our honeymoon we found out I was pregnant again and this time we had a little girl Christine Diane Green. was my beautiful little girl. Funny enough a couple weeks after I found out I was pregnant with Christine, Kylie found out she was pregnant as well with a little girl, Valerie Mckenzie Gomez . Samantha and Luke had decided that they were gonna wait a little while to have another kid. Christine and Kurt also had another boy Lawrence James Whitlock . Rain had also found himself a girl and following in his brother’s footsteps is engaged young at twenty two. Tita Silvia and Uncle Liam are very happy and are spoiling their grandkids rotten. I knocked on my son’s room . “Damien can I come in?” “Yeah mom” Damien was the definitely a mommy’s boy and he shared the same love as sports as his parents, his room was just that with beds on either side, a small basket court in between and a climbing rope to go up on the top of his bed. “You need
One month after the weeding I drew in a long, slow breath to calm my nervous excitement as I lit the candle atop the chocolate cupcake I had secretly bought. I had made arrangements for it to be delivered while we were out sightseeing. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever imagined I would be in Maldives, let alone be enjoying my honeymoon there. Daniel and I had said our vows on the beach just days ago, surrounded by our friends. Now, we were alone, just him and I to start our new life as husband and wife. He was my husband. Just the thought sent butterflies into flight in my stomach. We were married. He was mine forever. I closed my eyes as his vows whispered into my ears in his delicious British accent. He had stared at me with those gorgeous green eyes and declared his never-ending love for me. Somehow, I had managed to stay standing while I melted inside. I had opted out of a big wedding dress. Instead, I wore a knee-length white dress. It was sleeveless and cinched at the w
Today's the day I marry again my love. It's been just over two years since I surprised Daniel with being pregnant with our second child and we decided to wait until after the baby was born to get married so I could could lose the baby weight. Daniel and I had the same as the others, a little boy. Alexander Damien Green was born the middle child to his cousin Jhon Edward Green and best friend Damon Lyndon Jackson, all boys were born a week apart. Our wedding is taking place outside a beautiful old barn and after the reception will be inside the barn. Kylie was my maid of honor and I had Grace, Samantha, Christine and Sydney as my bridesmaids. Daniel had Brooks as his best man and Luke, Kurt, Rain and Andrew as his groomsmen. The girls were all in long navy blue dresses with lace on the neckline and the boys were in grey suits with a white shirt and navy blue tie. Daniel would be in a black suit and navy tie and the little boys would be in white button downs with suspenders while Athena
A year has passed by as I forged forward with a life I had once only dreamt about with Daniel. I came home from working at the hospital on a random weekday and opened the house door. I stepped inside and immediately noticed how eerily quiet the house was. "Daniel?" I called out as I took a step forward. He was supposed to be off today. My stomach dropped as I wondered if he had been called in. "Daniel?" I took another step forward when something crunched beneath my foot. I lowered my eyes to the floor and looked quizzically at the rose beneath my shoe. I slowly bent down and picked it up. I inspected the red rose in my hand, wondering what on earth it was doing there, as my eyes gazed across the floor of the condo. My breath caught as my heart beat rapidly as I stared at the trail of red roses laid out before me. I trembled with an excited anticipation as I began to follow the trail, picking them up as I walked. I followed their path to the back patio door. I slid the door open and
The much awaited day had finally arrived. Kisses Jackson would officially become Kisses Jackson Green and Daniel would finally marry the love of his life. All of the last minute preparations were being carried out diligently. The wedding was to be the event of the year. The groom, the biggest corporate honcho in all of North Carolina and the bride, a well established doctor and socialite. All the big names in both the industries had arrived from all over the world to witness their union. Back in his hotel suite, Daniel was fidgeting with his cufflinks in anticipation and nervousness. Today was the day the love of his life would become his, truly. ****************** Kisses Pov When the veil was finally placed over my face, the back of it pinned to my hair with a crystal hair pin I let out a breathe I had been holding in for quite some time. Kylie was yelling at the wedding planner to make minute changes over the phone to the decorations while the poor woman who was overlooking thing
After 4 years Kisses POV Finally, I have already finished college and have my own degree as a veterinarian. I am so happy that, despite the circumstances in life, I was still able to make my dream come true. My entire journey in college is not easy. It is like I’m on a roller coaster ride. Being far from my relatives and especially Daniel, is like I’ve been surviving. Daniel visits and sleeps in my condo once a week if he doesn’t have practice football. Despite all the hardships I have encountered, I am still thankful that there are people willing to extend their hand for help. Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for. I am excited about having my diploma. I need to have beauty rest for tomorrow’s special event in my life. I wake up with a smile on my face. I feel mixed emotions: happy and sad. I am happy that my relatives and friends will be present on my special day. Sad because my parents will not be there. But still, I need to have happy vibes for my day. I quickly get a show
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ Kisses leaves for school in a couple of days and to say I’m devastated would be an understatement. She hasn’t left my house unless it was for work or with me. I want to do something special for her today. I’m going to invite everyone over as a last little party to end the summer and get her a couple of things. I just finished my workout, Kisses is still passed out in bed. I get a couple of things together in the kitchen and prepare a small breakfast for her. She hasn’t been sleeping great. I’ve tried to talk to her about it but she just denies it. I know that she’s been having her night terrors. I think it’s stress-induced. I cut up some fruit and made a little platter, mixing some pancake batter together. I drop a couple of chocolate chips in them and let them cook. Once the food is all done I brew a cup of coffee and bring the food upstairs. Much to my surprise, Kisses is rubbing her eyes, the comforter covering her body. “Good morning, baby” I kiss her foreh
Last night was eventful if you know what I mean. Daniel has been a bit out of hand lately because I’m leaving for school soon. Speaking of school, I still haven’t packed yet. I don’t want to pack yet. I’m excited about school but not the location. It’s so far from Daniel. I grab my phone, checking the time to see that I have to get ready for work. I’m only working half a shift today, maybe then I’ll have time to pack. I slowly get out of bed, careful not to wake Daniel up. I ruffle through my bag, wanting to put some pants on. “Mm, I can’t wait to wake up to this every morning one day” A raspy voice comes from behind me. “Oh shush” I laugh, shaking my head. “It’s actually been a sort of dream I’ve had since I was little. My wife and I cooking breakfast in the morning. Me in a pair of sweatpants, you in my oversized t-shirt with a cute messy bun and no makeup” He smiles, his eyes tired. “Go back to bed” I shake my head, walking into his bathroom to change and get ready. When I
Today was the worst. Daniel had practice all day and I had to work all day. We were both so busy and I can’t even see him tonight. My phone sounds telling me I have a new text. Daniel: Baby Me: Daniel. Hey, what’s up? Daniel: I love you so f?cking much Me: I love you too hun. Is everything okay? Daniel: Nope Me: What’s going on? Daniel: Gotta go. Kisses I stare at my phone, confusion covering my face. I quickly dial Daniel’s number. It goes straight to voicemail. “Cody, I’m going to Daniel” I grab my keys, water, wallet, and phone charger and rush out the door. On my way I call Kylie, her voicemail greeting me. I get even more worried. Kylie always answers everyone right away. I hesitate to go faster than the speed limit, images of what happened last time flash through my brain. I ignore them, seeing the huge hill that leads to Daniel’s house. Soon enough I pull up to the house, rushing out to see a single car in the driveway. The house is silent except for the silent h
