I huff a breath holding back every ounce of me that wants to cry and tear everything apart, I crack my knuckles then fiddle with the ring on my index finger.Anxiety.A single tear rolls down my face.No, no, no, no.Someone grabs me holding me, I know the hold, the feel of me in her arms. Her scent, her touch, her tears.I stop what I'm doing and look down at her, she's holding me tight crying on my chest shaking her head. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Her voice is soft and mumbled.More tears run down my face, "Rosaleigh, please." I manage to whisper, she looks up at me with bloodshot eyes and a tear stricken face.She still looks so f*cking gorgeous, she mouths the words 'sorry'. I bite on my tongue as we look into each other's crying eyes."I'm sorry, baby please. I love you, I know it's too late but please. Just- just say you remember me." I croak out.She pulls back wiping her tears away, she shakes her head. "Xander son." Her father gives me a sad look.I shake my head, "Give her
Rosaleigh P.O.VOne thing is certain, I am nor pregnant. Dr Ruben mentioned nothing of such, and I'm just glad that it's nothing but temporal lobe damage.I found it weird that Xander wasn't there when we were done, moreover that he looked like hell.I know he brushed it off as a business call but that must've been one hell of a call because his face was blotched in red. I wanted to ask but he brushed it off for a reason I guess, "Can we go to Wendy's?" I ask.He gives me a side eye, I'm confused for a second before I break out into a smile. "I promise not to order half the menu." I stick out my pinkie for him to take.He raises an eyebrow, "or be rude to the waitress, or eat like a pig." He smiles and connects our pinkies."I'm sure you'd still look gorgeous even if you eat like a pig." I don't know why his comment makes me smile but it does."I'll take that as a compliment." I return. We connect eyes for a second."I must be some gentleman if you take that as a compliment." I rais
A car is already parked in the driveway, we pull up next to it and exit the car. Xander said she wanted to move the location to somewhere where we'd or I'd be comfortable to talk about all this, so where other than home?We walk in on time to see Ms Jolene hand Ms Linean a glass of what I assume is juice.She stands up when she notices us, "Mr and Mrs Grey." She acknowledges hugging the both of us."Please, call me Rosaleigh. We haven't signed the papers yet." I say, she smiles with a nod."You can take your leave Jolene. Thank you." My fiancé says, I smile at Jolene which she returns before turning to leave.We sit on the two seater side of the L shaped couch while Ms Linean a seat away from us."Please tell me how you guys met? I like to hear about my clients period together, it helps me get to know them a bit." She asks taking a sip of her juice."I think the whole of the country knows that I'm his assistant, it's how this all began." I answer, I look down to notice Grey's hand sit
I ended up making creamy chicken mushroom with garlic, parmesan and spinach then ended up mixing it all with pasta.I bring the large bowl to the table ND join everyone, I notice that this I'd the first time that we are all seated around the table for dinner.The last few times it was Xander and I because we got home late, but this is better like we're uniting into a family.We say a small prayer and Xander dishes up for himself and Noelle then we dish up for ourselves."Oh my goodness." Lucia moans out, I look at her and raise an eyebrow.I take a bite of my food relishing in cheese that melts in my mouth and the mixture of everything tasting heavenly.I can't help but moan myself, I'll admit that I'm not much of a cook but this is better than I expected it to turn out.The after burn of the spices in it just add on, it's not too spicy but just right. "This is good," Xander comments.We eat silently for a while. "I was wondering, since Lucia is done with her exams; am I right?" He co
"Anyway, goodnight Lucia. I love you." I place yet another kiss on her forehead and stand up."I love you too." She returns, we all make our way out and leave her to be.Grey disappears to his room I assume to clean himself up, Noelle and I walk to her room, she jumps on her bed eagerly.I laugh, "Let's get you dressed first," there are purple 'My little pony' pajamas on her chair I get her dressed and soon she's in the bed.I look at her bookcase, "What would you like for me to read?" I ask."A Princess of Mars please." I find the book and look at the description behind it.It seems like something people around Lucia's age would read, "Are you sure?" I ask, she nods.Well then.I join her on the bed and and open up the book, "I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred..."By the time I'm quarter-way through Noelle is silently yawning trying to keep herself woke."I think you've had enough." I close up the book, she nods silently.I place the book back, and t
It's Wednesday and Jaclyn and I are in one of her empty offices, she calls it her bride's free space to do whatever they want.She's already places some of our ideas on the walls and pin boards, I flip through a magazine and notice a picture of a forest covered in snow.Looking down at the fine print it reads Geneva, Switzerland, December 20th. I smile, it's the exact same picture as I the one I picked up last time."I think we should hold the wedding in Switzerland." I blurt out, she looks up from her magazine and grins.That soon turns into a squeal, she hurriedly gets up and grabs her laptop before settling down next to me.She begins to type up some things and soon we're on a topic of where exactly in Switzerland, I told her in Geneva and from then we spoke about hotels and prices and so on.I had already been there for an hour, another hour passes by before my phone buzzes telling me that Xander is here to pick me up for lunch.I bid Jaclyn a go
We're seated at the back where it's slightly darker than in the front, I ordered the apricot Dijon glazed salmon and Grey some pan seared duck breast with persimmon grapefruit "I was thinking..." I trail, he hums raising an eyebrow."It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and I thought maybe we could bring everyone together, including my dad." I take a break and sip on my water."I'm just not sure if we can take dad out for the night." I add, he nods silently."Where and what time?" I'm actually shocked he agrees, I mean I doubt he'd be comfortable with everyone there.But even so, I need to talk to Julia. Like deep talk, this girl is really confusing. All of a sudden her and Nic have a thing?"Six should be fine, you choose the place." I would cook, but catering alone for eleven plus people is a lot."I haven't had a home cooked Thanksgiving in so long, we could take the day off and dedicate it to cooking." He shrugs, I smile.Not at the thought of cooking for eleven plus people, I'm still agai
"Let's go, I'm sure the guys are waiting." She takes my hand and leads me outside.The moment I step out Grey's eyes fall on me then back to the boys and finally to me, this time openly staring.Pride spreads through me, I notice the boner growing in his suit. Even though it's slightly baggy on him, that specific area just seems to be the opposite.I feel the ache in my core begin to form, when we get there all three of the boys wolf-whistle. "If you ever get tired of Xander, you know where to find me." He winks.He winks telling me he's joking, I give him a sultry smile planning on messing with Xander. "You can give me five years or so, then I can be all yours." I wink back, he smirks whistling.He takes my hand and twirls me around 'pretending' to admire my body, "I don't mind the wai–" Before he can even finish the sentence I'm out of his hold and in my fiancé's."Don't ever talk about or look at my wife like that again. Understood?" He threatens, his hold on my waist tightening wi
