Chapter 31 Samantha JamesonPOVYou know when Craig asked me on a date, I assumed he’d take me to a fancy restaurant. So, when he showed up at my house in a jean and a golf tee, I didn’t know what to make of it. So, I got changed out of the dress and heels I had on and got into a jean and sneakers matching him.What I didn’t expect was pulling up at a bowling alley. Who comes to a bowling alley at nine in the morning? I’ll tell you who Craig Blackheart.So last night after I put Harry to bed, I googled him. You know what I found? He owns several small businesses as well as run his family newspaper. What I found interesting is that there aren’t any pictures of him with other women. None. Like he’s never dated. From what I’ve seen so far this man is sweet and considerate so why on earth is he still single? It doesn’t make sense. Why would I good man still be single.He has been talking nonstop about marrying me, so he isn’t a noncommitment type. I can’t figure him out.We got out of hi
Chapter 32Craig BlackheartPOV“Be happy Samantha. It’s okay to put yourself first every once in a while. If you’re happy your daughter will be happy as well.” I tell her.Samantha looks over at me with a smile. “You always know the right things to say.”“It’s not that, I like seeing you smile.”She smiles not saying anything for a little while. “So Mr. Perfect why did you say it was a whole day affair if we finished bowling and, on the beach, and it’s only twelve p.m.?” she asks.“Because this isn’t the end of our adventure…” I tell her.She looks over at the ocean. “To be honest, I haven’t had this much fun in forever. I don’t think I’ve been this honest or free ever…”“Ready to go on your next stop?” I ask her.She nods.I grab her hand in mine, and we walk together back to my car. I look at our connected hands. I’ve never been this happy ever in my life. I truly believe I have found the love of my life.Honestly, nobody can convince me otherwise for the first time in my life, I’m
Chapter 33One week laterSamantha JamesonPOVBecause I don’t have many friends I trust enough to let in, so I’m standing in front of Julliet’s house because I so much I’m excited to share with someone anyone. Last week after our date I told my parents about Craig and they already love him, I don’t want to get ahead of myself, so I want to speak to someone who has been through something similar to what I’ve been through.I ring the doorbell.The door opens and I see Blake Davenport. I knew they stay together but I wasn’t expecting him to be home.I smile awkwardly. “Hey, I’m sorry for stopping by unannounced. I can come back another time if you’re busy…”He shakes his head. “No, come in Julliet just finished eating she’s bored and it’s still a while until Paige comes over.” He steps back so I can come in.I walk by him entering in the house. I see Julliet on the sofa watching tv. I walk toward her giving her a hug before taking a seat beside her.“Oh, thank God another human other th
Chapter 34Dianna DavenportPOVSo, it’s official. I’m officially house hunting. I’m meeting with my realtor today. Or real estate agent, I don’t know the difference between the two. After everything, with my brother settled down now, and Julliet out of danger I’ve started looking at houses again. I’ve fallen in love with a house, and I can’t wait to take a look around.It was owned by an influencer, so it has all the qualities I’m looking for a room with good lighting for me to film. Spacious and a huge closet, one in the room and one in the master bedroom. It’s gorgeous so I made the call right away. Which led to this exact moment.“So, what do you think?” Garret Vanderbilt my realtor asks as I look around the kitchen.I try not to make it obvious I’m in love with the place. Blake told me to act neutral.I smile awkwardly. “Can I see the room the previous owner used to film in?” I ask.He looks at me and smiles. “Sure. Right this way…” he leads me up the stairs that leads right to t
Chapter 35Kendell MarksPOVSo, when Ryan picked me up from my apartment to say I was shocked is an understatement. His car. Not what I was expecting.An SUV in lime green. Like shocking green. It hurt a little getting into some so outrageous in color.“So where are we going?” I ask. He told me to dress comfortably last night when he called.For the past couple of weeks, we’ve spoken daily on the phone, just to talk about how our day was going, our likes and dislikes.We’ve talk for hours just about everything and anything.“It’s a surprise. I just hope you can hold your liquor Miss Marks…” he teases.“Oh, so we’re drinking?” I ask my eyes wide. “Are you trying to find out all my secrets is that why you want to get me drunk?” I tease.He bursts out laughing. “Yes, I want to know where Aiden keeps the good liquor at the office…” he says.I frown. “Aiden?” I ask confused.“Oh, the owner of the magazine… The that earns money not coming into the office. From what I heard he got a promoti
Chapter 36Three weeks laterBlake DavenportPOVJulliet and I are driving to Samantha’s house to pick up a couple of things she got for the babies. She had a few things she didn’t use for her daughter as well. Julliet wanted those and now it’s my job to pay driver to pick the things up.Julliet and I are only picking the things up, we’re actually on our way to have lunch with my mother and sister to celebrate Dianna buying her first house. She hasn’t closed on the deal yet but I’m hopeful it will all work out. Once the house is on her name I plan to throw her a house warming party.Since Julliet stepped back from the media, I’ve been followed by paparazzi more times than not. I had to buy a new damn car just to throw them off. I didn’t want Dianna’s privacy taken away from her like it already has.I’m pleasantly surprised when I spot Craig’s land rover. I get to catch up with him while I pack the car up. I park next to his car and get out of the car. I walk over to Julliet’s side to
Chapter 37Two weeks laterPaige HarveyPOVSo, all of have been invited to this dinner for one of Blake’s friends. Samantha, Craig, Ryan, Kendell, Julliet, Blake and Storm and me. we were at a night club before coming over here. Blake’s friend Aiden who invited us thought it would be funny to have two pregnant women dancing around in a night club. It didn’t last long before Julliet and I wanted to get out of there. We’re currently sitting in a less crowded restaurant. Aiden and his lady friend are making out in one corner. While Blake, Julliet, Samantha, and Craig are in a deep conversation.While Kendell and I are sharing a look. We have no idea what’s going on right now. Dinner was served an hour ago and most of us finished our meals. We’re just waited for Aiden to give the word for us to leave. His party started off at a freaking night club. If our group wasn’t invited, I assume they’d still be there.After the terrible dinner, my Model fiancé and I went for a work. We walked arou
Chapter 38Third person POVEveryone sat at the dining room table, in awkward silence. Everyone sat in their own thoughts.Blake spent the day outside with Craig. They returned an hour before dinner was served.Storm and Paige were looking around the table trying to figure out what was going on.Kendell and Ryan were eating their pasta with worried looks on their faces.Julliet was stabbing away at her food. She looked most upset. She’d spent her day alone locked in her room. With the shopping trip cancelled because of her tantrum this morning she spent most of her day in her room alone, thinking Blake would have checked on her but instead he disappeared from the house completely.Samantha and Craig were uncomfortable with the strange atmosphere. Craig explained how important today was for Blake before they left that morning. So, she sympathized with Blake, though she didn’t agree with keeping this from Julliet and the way Julliet’s trying to murder her supper she’s contemplating kil
