The CEO Chapter 109
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

I wake up to a pressed bladder and shrilling alarm, in fear of waking Xander up I dismiss it quickly then check to see if he's still sleeping.I don't know why im worried, knowing that not even an earthquake could wake him. But I'm still cautious as I get out bed and head to the bathroom to clean up.Within an hour and a half I'm washed and lathered in lotion, my hair and make up done. Figuring that today is going to be busy, Nic might need some help and as usual I do miss being in the office although I know I will regret this later.It's five in the morning so I know Miss Jolene will be here within the next thirty minutes to start the day, and Lucia will be up at six when I have to leave. I know that I can trust Miss Jolene to handle everything well though.Before dressing up fully, I clean Xander up to my best attempt then dress him in some sweats, I then attach all that is need to his body and I'm done.The rest of my half hour continu

"Shut that thing up," I groan throwing my head under the pillow to muffle it out but I can still hear it."But you'll be late!" Noelle tugs at the pillow to remove it but I grip it tight in refusal."Forget Paris, I need more sleep," I try to respond but it probably didn't make sense to the little girl."You'll have more than enough time to sleep on the plane queen," and just like that I'm out from under the pillow."How are you awake right now?" I glare at him in suspicion, his lips pull into a cute grin of amusement."I wouldn't miss my honeymoon for sleep and neither should you. So you have less than thirty minutes to throw on something so we can go," he ends his statement with a kiss on my cheek.I grumble and glare at him then force myself out of bed, their laughs follow me to the bathroom where I take a quick ten minute shower and get clean.After that I just slip on some leggings and a large sweater that belongs t

"Morning," I mumble, I can't help my smile as my eyes fly over Xander's features.Seated in the right position, sunlight coming from the open curtains behind me give his skin this otherworldly glow.His eyes are a very light shade of brown and are glittering, almost like the reflection of light on water but rather brown than blue.I reach out allowing my thumb to follow the curve of his facial features and through his silky soft hair.Dear God this man was truly carved by you to pure perfection."So we're really in Paris?" I ask softly, he smiles with a nod.A sudden squeal leaves my lips as I stretch out my arms and legs and wiggle around, "oh my God!"I end up laying on top of him with a huge smile, "you seem happy and rejuvenated," he points out.I roll my eyes playfully, "Of course I am. We're in Paris on a honeymoon with this heaven sent man that I love so much," I land kisses up his neck and a quick peck on his lips."Les enfants libres," he adds. *Children free*"I don't know wh

Neck kissing, breast groping and rubbing."Cat caught your tongue?" This time I given no time to respond as he kisses me and his tongue sweeps mine into a dance.A surprised moan leaves my body, my eyes roll into my head and I allow my body to give in to the work of his hands.One calloused hand slides down my thigh, leaving a trail of warmth and sparks until it reaches just behind my knee whereas he guides my calf around his torso.His other hand slides between my head and the bed then grips my hair tightly as he pulls my head back, exposing my neck to him.My gasp is replaced by a small moan as a pair of warm lips greet my skin, from behind my ear down to my collarbone where he sucks and sucks until my flesh turns purple."Ah," He rolls his hips into mine, rubbing his hardness into my pulsing and needing core. "F*ck, I can feel your wetness through my shorts Rosie," he grunts and as if to prove his point, two thick fingers enter my core whilst another spreads the wetness on the ou

Our first day on honeymoon is spent with just us, not once did his phone ring because of work or anything else neither did mine.I hadn't seen anyone else around and I pray that that's a fact because I can't imagine being heard by others while 'christening' this entire house. We even watched some black and white French movie with subtitles, I don't think either of us were much focused on it honestly.The doorbell rings, "I'll get it," I mutter but a hand stops me by grabbing my wrist."I'll get it, in case you haven't noticed," he refers to my body covered in a duvet, this makes me sit down."Come back soon, I think Gaspard is finally going to catch Jienne in the act. Or at least I think so, I need my translator," I wink, he laughs and heads for the door.No more than two minutes his back carrying two white bags and a black box, I pause the movie although it doesn't matter then turn to him."What's that?" I ask enthusiastically, he sets the bags down and smiles."You'll find out pret

"One venti pumpkin pie frappuccino and a acon, sausage and egg wrap for the sleeping beauty," I immediately remove the blanket from my face, ignoring the harsh sunlight.Xander is leaning in through my window with a goofy smile on his face and breakfast in his hands. "Oh my God you're a life saver, thank you," I quickly peck his lips and take the food from him, one large swig of the frappuccino and I'm feeling so much better.He rounds the car and enters by his side, his own drink and food already placed."So where have you taken me?" I ask through a mouthful of wrap."Why don't you try looking out the windscreen?" I do as I'm told.I don't need glasses to clearly see the huge structure a couple of miles away from where we are.Oh my goodness we're in Paris.I look between Xander and the Eiffel tower with wide eyes, "no way, no way. What?! Why didn't you just tell me?!"I almost spill my drink from all my excited bouncing, "I did. Twice actually," he rolls his eyes, I lean forward ne

*3 years later*Xander's P.O.VI look up from my laptop to see Lucia leaning against my doorframe.It's crazy how she's grown up to look nearly the exact replica of her sister."Hey."I close the device and give her my full attention. "Hi."She scratches her head and gives me a nervous smile, "I-" She stutters as someone behind her clears her throat."We were hoping we could ask you for something." I raise an eyebrow."Well, I'm moving out to college in a few weeks and it's nearly uhm Rosie's memorial day, and we were hoping we could get some things that belonged to Rosaleigh. For memories?"My heart stops for a moment before it continues its job."Haven't you already been doing that for the past three years?" I try to laugh it off even though it's pissed me off every time.Although, Rosie was her sister and she deserves something just as much as I'd love to have kept everything of hers to myself.She hasn't moved things around, I'm grateful for that."I have and I would have continue

"Xander, man. Open up!" It's Nic. I wonder why he's here."The children are with Julia. Open up brother. What is going on?" he asks, I haven't moved in hours.Qaia is asleep in my arms, her face reminds me so much of Rosie's."If you don't open up the door, I am going to break in." Nic announces, he can't but I don't want him hurting Qaia when the door cracks from the impact, so I stand up and unlock it.He walks in, "you look fucked up." He comments the moment his eyes land on me.I don't respond. I don't have the energy to. "What's wrong man? You've got the kids all worried. And where is Ros-" his sentence dies off when he looks at the bed."Fuck." Tears well up in my eyes again.He pulls my head towards his and connects our forehead, "I'm so sorry." Tears are strolling down both our faces. "I-I don't know what happened. Noelle told me she wasn't breathing and... I just shut down. She can't be gone, Nicholas." I sob harder."I know, man, I know. I'm so sorry." His voice is soft,

*Two hours later*"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Grey, it's a healthy baby girl."No words can explain the feeling that is spreading throughout my body. My heart feels so... I just don't know how to describe it.Rosie and I connect eyes, I can see the pure bliss going on behind them like a storm of some sorts, tears stream down her face, and I lean over to wipe them off."You did it, mariposa." I kiss her forehead. Our baby girl's cries fill the entire room, I throw my shirt off and accept her small frame. "8 pounds and 10 ounces," he tells me.Her face is reddened as she cries out, I sit beside Rosie and hand her over. Rosie starts to hiccup as silent tears stream down her face. She runs her finger over our baby's face."Shh-shh baby, mommy and daddy are here." she whispers, looking up at me. She cries even more when she sees me. She reaches out with one hand and wipes away the tears I didn't know I was shedding."We did it," I smile.We hold her for a while longer until the docto

After the heart to heart, if I can call it that, Xander took the pills and fell asleep. I, on the other hand, could not.I sat for hours just staring at him, so many times his face morphed from peace to anguish and from anguish to peace. It hurt me.My heart was broken. It still is.When dawn started to settle in, I spent my time on his laptop till full sunrise. I read up on the email he'd been reading, and a part of me felt guilty for not wanting to take the chemo.The other part of me was still insistent on not taking it. It would be a miserable play for all parties, I know from experience.I felt horrible for being happy and recalling all my favorite memories to my dad when all he could do was lay in his bed, hooked on machines. I ended up getting emotional and stressed, so I shut the laptop and began the day. To get my mind off everything, I had a virtual tour of the institute, then had an interior designer meet me at the house to discuss.After that, I spent time with Noelle as

"I think it's a girl. Only she can allow you to eat something like that," I freeze, my wrap just about to dip into my McShake.Ice cream turned into more cravings.I give him a deadly look, which has him laughing out loud. "She'll be an exact replica of you. She'll have your smile, your hair, your eyes, and your laugh. She's going to break many hearts because she won't be allowed to date until we're the same age." He smiles, I giggle."So, never?" He kisses my forehead."She'll have your smarts too," I finish my shake and turn to him."Well I for one, know it's going to be a boy. He'll have my hair color with your teenage curls. Everything else about him will be yours, his facial features; his voice, his eyes. Maybe he'll be lean," I shrug.His eyes hold suspicion in them, "So Jeremiah Fisher is out of the picture?"Shocked, I playfully slap his arm. "Firstly, that was one time. Secondly, that wouldn't be a bad idea either. Either way I—"Everything I ate in the last hour comes up my

Despite my wishes to keep my birthday small and at home, Xander thought otherwise, and by otherwise, I mean:He bought a private island near the Maldives, we didn't stay at it because it was barren, but we did go to it and suggested that we name it and soon talk to designers, for a beach house.A virtual meeting with a Hermès designer for a custom Kelly bag, I don't know how he did it, but he did. To say I was lost would be an understatement, Xander just laughed at me when i didn't know what to answer when it came to the leather types.He took me shopping, obviously, skiing, and I tried surfing but failed profusely. Xander, on the other hand, looked like Gabriel Medina at his best.There's nothing this man can't do.We spent a day at the villa and gave each other massages and watched movies.I loved those three days, but when we came back to the United States, I realized that I love being home rather than being away, or maybe it just has something to do with being around the girls.I

The next couple of months pass by in a blur, a week after the Logan topic we spent a couple of days in New Zealand for Xander's birthday.In June we finally got to building the institute, it's still a working progress as we speak.In the same month, I don't know what strings Xander pulled but Shane Grey signed over the rights of the company over to Xander with no argument. We celebrated just the two of us together.Ever since that day, Logan and Sophia never got in contact, she finally decided to go see the psychiatrist I recommended her. She was broken when he'd cut contact but as time passed she started to seem more like herself as Xander said.We celebrated Lucia's birthday at Disneyland late June.July fourth we finally took Rosander on a joyride if you can call it that, I think we all enjoyed the night. Xander and Julio put their differences aside for that day and even chatted among themselves, including Nic, as they all sa

His body stiffens for a minute but he continues to walk around like it doesn't affect him, it does."Yes, I guess you've missed out on a lot haven't you? While you were slowly killing a defenseless woman, I was trying to pay for our father's chemo and trying to save our brother from rotting in prison for something he never did." I let the words settle in."Well didn't you do a great job at that?" He chuckles dryly, anger bubbles in me.I walk up to him and stare him down, he doesn't shy away. "What happened to you? The James I know would have never hit a woman or abandoned his family," He chuckles again, "You mean the family that is slowly dying one by one?""That is no excuse James! I thought I could rely on you, even if you disappeared occasionally you would always pull through, but I guess you were too busy weren't you?" "What I do with my life does not concern you," disgust flows through every vein in my body.I ca

The constant beep of the heart monitor is silent.The bed is empty.The entire room is silent.My mind doesn't bother to find any reasoning, and my heart beats achingly.He's gone.There's no going back, and I have to accept it.Of course I cried, he's my father. Whether or not he's alive, he will always be, and he left with a piece of my heart; all of our hearts.A week after we came back to L.A., he left us, and a week later, we buried him next to our mother's grave.I broke down, became sick, grieved, and then I pulled myself together for my sisters.That was over two months ago. My heart still aches for my father, but it's dulled. It was time. He got his last wish, I got married.Lucia has gotten better, I'm happy that it didn't take that much of a toll on her as compared to mom's death.We've moved into the new house, the kids love it. Xander and I love it.Being back though has separated us for a while, he's been stuck in piles of work and complications with his father.Despite
