Amber was speechless as Leo’s fingers shook a bit while he pulled the ring free from the velvet box. But her mind was far from silent. Here, in the most romantic city in the world, on the symbol of love, all glimmering like thousands of diamonds, would she be able to refuse him?It was not that she didn’t love Leo. That wasn’t the issue at all. She just wasn’t sure she was ready for this, or that he was either truth be told. It had only been four months or so since the chef had broken off his engagement to Elle. And Leo and Amber had only been together about a month now. Was that really enough time to know they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together?Because contrary to the feelings of many of her generation, marriage wasn’t something Amber took so lightly. To her not something that a quick divorce was the fix to if she had jumped into it too soon, unprepared. When she spoke those words at the alter until death do us part, she had every intention of meaning them. And right
Afterwards, Leo polished off his dessert with ease. It amazed Amberleigh how he kept those washboard abs because Leo could sure put away a shit ton of food. Many chefs were round, a byproduct of their occupations, and Amber perfectly understood why. Hell, even if she wasn’t knocked up, she’d be gaining weight with Leo as her boyfriend. She certainly had her work cut out for her after this kid was born. But the chef was certainly doing something right by the looks of his hot, sexy body. And Amber should be an expert on that particular subject of Leo’s glorious naked form by now. But keeping his body tight in all the right places, wasn’t the only thing he was doing right. She had yet to discover something that Leo didn’t do well. Until she remembered his singing anyway. But the man upstairs didn’t want any competition for his perfect son Jesus it seemed, so he had to give Leo that one flaw.Even his smile was perfect. And she was privileged to it after he asked her if she was ready to
Amberleigh knew that every girl dreamed of having a shopping spree at the designer stores with a credit card with no limit. Well today for her that fantasy was coming true. But it was not quite the way she imagined it for many reasons. One, marathon shopping was hella exhausting and lots of work. You didn’t just change from outfit to outfit like magic during a montage with a catchy song. Two, she was feeling guilty about taking advantage of Leo. And three, she had to pee every twenty fucking minutes, not to mention she didn’t have the body like in her dreams. She was bloated as fuck. Not that Leo wasn’t the dream shopping buddy. He was supportive and encouraging her to try on like everything in the stores. But she began to doubt his credibility when he claimed everything she tried on looked good on her. He took every opportunity to tell her how amazing she looked. He camped out on some white leather couches while she put on a fashion show for him. She
Leo had forgiven Amberleigh for her cold move getting him all hot and bothered then abandoning him to his lonesome in the Gucci dressing room. He was even placated that she had loaded his arms full of Gucci fashions and accessories, and more than happy to carry them for her to the check out. A girl could totally get used to this shit.Once again, like in the other stores, Leo had their purchases set to be delivered back to the hotel to avoid toting them all up and down Champs-Elysees Avenue. But right now, that was one wealthy privilege Amber was more than happy to indulge in. Her feet were aching and she tried to hurry through Vuitton. But one did not simply hurry through a store like that, it demanded thorough time and attention.Amber gave it the attention it so deserved, painstakingly looking through their vast collection of purses. She chose Ebony an adorable clutch with a gold chain which would be easy for her to drag around the bars in Omega City. Harder for her drunk ass to l
Amberleigh decided not to tempt fate and try the snails at dinner that night. Instead, she opted for some Ratatouille-that famous French vegetable stew- and a chicken dish with mushrooms, garlic, in a red wine sauce called Coq Au Vin. It was simply orgasmic in her mouth.As for the chef, he had two servings of Escargot, giving it so much tongue action, that Amber found herself jealous. Leo let the snails linger in his palate to try and decipher every ingredient. He was determined to figure out how they did it so well to emulate it for himself. Amber had to look away more than once from the sight of the chef sucking them from their shells as it turned her stomach.Just after dinner, they took a pleasant stroll hand in hand, seeing the Notre Dame Cathedral all lit up splendidly at night. They hadn’t made it there today for a tour like they had originally planned but made plans to return to see the magnificent old church tomorrow.Their walk in the frigid air was brief, but still magical
Between Amberleigh and Leo’s romantic night together, and their memorable day on the streets of Paris, she had almost forgotten, that today was the day Grayson Godwin was getting married to that bitch heiress Courtney Van Tessin. She knew their ceremony was set to take place at six p.m. in a fucking castle on the other side of France. But it had really slipped past her mind throughout most of the day honestly. But that night proved to be a different story entirely.But it seemed the billionaire would always be sure to remind Amber of his existence, how their lives were still entangled whether she liked it or not. At least he hadn’t ruined the special day between Amber and Leo. Even the weather had cooperated, not insanely cold or raining, but tolerable for a day of walking the city streets and discovering more of what the old city had to offer.They had even taken the suggestions of staff at the hotel that afternoon and visited less touristy areas of Old Paree. It was on these old st
After their moment at The Wall of Love, Amberleigh and Leo got back into the cab which had waited for them at the curb. The driver looked at them with his eyebrows raised but said nothing about their unbecoming behavior on the sidewalk. But Leo and Amber had no remorse for what they had just done, smiles upon their still swollen lips, hands joined across the seat, as they headed for Notre Dame Cathedral.The beautiful old church certainly lived up to its reputation. It was truly stunning inside with its domed ceilings so high you got dizzy looking up at them, too many chandeliers to count, and large stone archways gave the massive space support. But even more gorgeous was the stain glassed windows. Large images of colored glass depicting the life of Jesus caught the light just right and bathed the chapel with colored light. God himself did say let there be light right?Exquisite religious statues sat near the alter, but most breathtaking of all in Amber’s opinion was the large, round
Amberleigh knew it was time she played the supportive girlfriend and try and calm Leo’s fears. God knew Leo was always there for Amber in her hour of need-more like ninety-nine hours- so it was hella past time she repaid the favor. She always took more than she gave in this relationship and sweet Leo always went above and beyond to take care of her. It was time things fucking changed for sure.She rubbed his back soothingly, “I’m sure nothing is wrong Leo. He’s probably just catching up or something.”He sighed, “Probably. I’d better take this.”Leo slid the green phone symbol across the screen. The screen immediately filled with an attractive man as orchestra style music played in the background. Amber recognized some of those Godwin features immediately, those thick dark brown locks, strong jawline, and nice eyebrows. This one was clean shaven, and had such a nice tan, Amber found herself seriously jealous. He was in his early thirties and dressed to the fucking nines in a designer
