Rosaleigh P.O.V After the mini get-together and many cries of concern all was well, as well as it could get. There was a little bit of awkwardness as everyone would give me random glances, I pegged it as concern.We tried to play around with our words for the small ones not to catch on, I don't know how I'd feel if Noelle knew.I may not have long but right now isn't the time for her to know.Like any other get-together everyone is sleeping here, I thought hard and long about whether I should sleep with Xander but opted for it.His scent that wafted around the room was a much loved smell, it made me more comfortable than I was initially.For the longest of hours, neither of us slept, I laid in his arms and listened to his heartbeat and story-telling of our past as per my request.The way he spoke was like he was recalling everything as though it was playing right before his eyes or as if he was reliving it.I teased him about but he just smiled and claimed that—quote on quote— every
"She's good...Me too...I know...Of course...I love you too...no doubt....okay, I'll let her know. Goodbye," The bed dips next to me, I look up at my husband with a smile. "Morning," he pecks my lips and moves me so that I'm laying on him."Morning beautiful," I smile and cuddle into him, his body warmth warming me more than I already am."That was you're father, he said to tell you that he loves you and would like to see you today," I nod and interlink our fingers.I brush my thumb over his tattoo, and raise an eyebrow. "I want a tattoo, a lot of them actually. I just never thought to go through with it," He sits up a bit and traces my clean skin, "Why? You're perfect," I hit him lightly with a small laugh."You have more than twenty tattoos and you aren't any less perfect, come on. Just a few, you can come with me, " I kiss his jawline for some convincing."Of course, there's no way I'm letting some stranger touch you in any forbidden place without me there. Even when I'm there," I
"I have popcorn and Skittles, now tell me what we're watching?" I plop down next to Ellie and place down our snacks."Aladdin!" She squeals, I laugh as she sits on a large blue cushion and stares expectantly at the screen.The movie begins to play and the both of us are so enthralled by the movie that we don't notice when Lucia comes back from school or when Jolene comes to make dinner.Only when the movie is near its ending and Xander arrives back from work that our attention is off the movie.I swear out minds were linked and we felt his presence as we both turned at the same time and waited for him to appear in our vision.The moment he did Noelle was the first to spring into his arms, yelling 'Daddy!' I couldn't help the giggles that left me. As he held on to her and asked questions about her day, seeming so interested in every word she uttered, I couldn't help but look at him with pure love.It's only been a few hours since I've seen him but he looks better, the swelling of his
*Ruelle- Get to love you*Levent Geiger- F*ck I wish*~*~*~* Rosaleigh P.O.V By the time I wake up, the sun is staring right at me, telling me that I woke up late. I laid on the bed for a whole ten minutes, just to acknowledge the fact that I'm awake.Parts of me are still slightly sore but it isn't as bad as yesterday, at least that's what I thought before I stood up to go the bathroom.I wobbled a bit then finally got my strength, by the time I'm done getting ready for the rest of the day, Xander walks through the door with a tray in his hands.Waffles and strawberries, bacon, hashbrowns and eggs with a side of what I assume is cranberry juice and a single Cornelia.I giggle with a small smile, this makes him smile allowing his dimple to pop out. "Too late. Good morning beautiful," he sets the tray on the bed and pulls me in for a hug.My heart warms and stomach fills with butterflies, I'm weirdly aware of how tight his arms hold me and the fact that my feet are no longer on the g
I look away for a moment to bat away the tears then back to him, his hand reaches up and thumb brushes away a stray tear."I hope these are happy tears," he murmurs, I nod. Lie.My throat clogs up and to avoid any more questions or talking, I smash my lips onto his. The unsaid words expressed in the kiss, filled with passion, love, desire, hurt, pain and sadness.I let my tears fall freely mixing with some of his, when we pull back we wipe away each other's tears."I love you," my voice is soft and cracks but still has the effect that it needs, he smiles."I love you," for what I wish was forever, he holds me tightly like he'll never let go. That's what hurts more.I know I've said this so many times but I won't sleep or die in peace knowing that I'll leave him in broken in pieces.My mind swirls with these thoughts the entire time, I try my best to enjoy this moment but I can't. And he can't to, I can tell.I wish this was forever but better, that I don't die. That I don't worry abo
"Before we go, unfortunately, " he takes something out from his tux pocket and dangles it out, my mouth falls open."No way!" This makes him laugh, but I cross my arms in protest."Only for an hour and a half. It's a surprise," he begs, we have a playful stare-down for a full minute before I take a hesitant step forward."I'm trusting you," With that his lips turn into a full grin, he takes the next step forward and pecks my lips."I love you," my heart swells."Beyond this universe," I return, turning around for him.Gently he ties a knot behind my head, a sense of panic rushes through me but when Xander takes my hand in his, I calm down and focus on his touch and smell."Are you okay?" I nod silently."Words sweetheart," I smile gently and this time answer with a 'yes'.He steps away then I hear him open the car door then his hand is back in mine, a few hesitant steps forward and a confirmation to step up and I'm in the passenger seat.He fastens the seatbelt for me, kisses my cheek
My fingers tighten around the rails as I lean over to watch the soft ripples of the water, it glitters in colors of the rainbow due to the now changing sky.A loud 'thwack' from behind me gains my attention, I turn in time to see Xander lay a large white blanket on the dock.My lips pull into a soft smile as I go down to help him smoothen it out, as I continue he disappears down into the cabin.When I'm finally done and settled he appears again this time with a large wicker basket, a silver bucket with two wine bottles in it and classical music adding to his elegance.I couldn't be more content than I am right now as I watch him unload everything, from the chocolate covered strawberries down to the sushi platter.In a comfortable silence, we eat. I love the simplicity of this, I don't feel like I have to initiate a conversation because the silence is too awkward for me.This is perfect.*~*~*~* "FLAMISH," I turn back at Xander in confusion, he has this giddy grin on his face, for a s
A moment of silence passes."Can we come?!" Noelle asks happily supporting her upper body on the table, I look at Grey expectantly, he throws me the same look so I look."Not really. We can only bring you on one of the trips, it really depends on where we're going and when it's going to be," I explain.Her mouth forms a cute little 'o', she sits down properly and begins to twiddle her fingers. I can sense some sort of guilt trip coming.She then sniffles and looks up at us with teary eyes, "Can you bring me back something, please?" "You know I always bring you something from every trip," Xander says genuinely, when Noelle then looks at me I know she's pulling some stunt."Not you, mommy?" I raise a scared eyebrows."Yes?" I watch her intently as she gets off her seat and walks around to me, I lean down to her level.What she tells me has my holding back my giggle, I don't know what I expected her to tell me but it definitely wasn't that.When I sit back up, I give her a wink that mak
