I would say that it never takes me very long to get ready; I don't normally do a lot of makeup or styling before I go out anywhere. Before I met Rhodes, I used to brush my hair and maybe apply a layer of mascara when I left the house. But now here I sit; in one of those Hollywood movie studio like c
"Wow, thank you. Thank you so much" I grin softly at my reflection before I turn back to thank them. All three of them have started to pack up all of their equipment, while I stand up from my seat and grab the dress by the hanger. "Need help with the dress honey?" Marcus asks as he wraps the cord b
Since I have the gold through my hair, I decide not to wear too much jewellery. However, I do put on the earrings that Rhodes gave me when he came back from Seattle. This would be one of the only occasions that I can think of where it will be appropriate to wear them. "Ready love?" Rhodes's loud vo
He shakes his head. "I wouldn't call them friends; more, associates that I am friendly with. But only because being unfriendly to them would create more of a headache for me" I'm surprised by his explanation, a simple no would have done. "So, when do you get to spend time with your friends?" He's p
"Yeah yeah I'm fine" I tell him, tucking some hair back behind my ear. "Just a little nervous" I tell him as his quizzical look continues to pour into me. It's not like I'm lying; I am very nervous about how tonight is going to go, I'm also nervous about the next five and half months of my life is g
"Oh I've known her cousin Robert for quite a few years. We've met a few times at different social events but the last time we saw one another we just got along like a house on fire, now here we are" I almost audibly gasp as I hear the words come out of Rhodes's mouth; words, more like lies, blatant
Much to my displeasure, the two men and the woman from earlier also join us at our table as Rhodes and I sit down. They seem to be preoccupied with speaking to another older gentleman at our table so maybe I will be spared from having to converse with them through the night. Several people greet Rho
I've just inserted myself into this conversation, and I'm going to have to find a way to get myself out of it. On top of that I've broken one of Rhodes's rules: speak when spoken to when out in public, I don't even dare to take a sneak peek. "Yes dear, they are" Lenny grins at me, an evil grin, one
"Wanna give one a go?" I suggest to her with a small grin."Might be a bit premature, don't think Max is the marriage type quiet yet" She responds with a quiet giggle, then catches herself as we all stop and gape at her. She hasn't mentioned Max in that context in a very long time. Behind Poppy, Fra
"It's stunning sweetheart, absolutely stunning" My mum comments excitedly as I allow my hands to rest at my sides, my reflection making my heart race quickly. I'm wearing a wedding dress. Maybe not the wedding dress, but a wedding dress none the less. It all seems insane to think that I had spent th
Fran, Bianca and now Sarah are at the racks, perhaps browsing for me or for Fran, who recently moved to London and is flat hunting with her boyfriend Zayn."They have wedding dresses at charity shops? I can't tell if that's bleak or romantic" Poppy comments quietly to me as I sit down beside her."
"You are referred to as exactly what you are, a man, while I am referred to as my relationship to you, a wife. Like the only identifiable thing about me is that now I am your wife but you still get to be a man in your own right" I explain. It's something that's always irked me while watching TV show
"You forget we had sex in a bookstore?" Rhode leans in close and murmurs to me, heat rising on my cheeks instantly. One of my wilder moments I would say."Did not forget that, but I'd rather not have to explain that story to, well anyone" I say with an embarrassed giggle. I definitely told at least
"Please, take it" He states in a soft tone that makes butterflies flit around my stomach. "When?" He adds with a little more urgency."How about, before the years end?" I suggest. It's early October now so going into the colder England months, it's not exactly going to be extraordinary weather but t
"Thank you" I mumble against his lips, brushing my nose against his. His hand lingers on my hip as I come down off of my tiptoes, the wind blowing some of my hair into my face."I'll support you either way, it's up to you" He softly states, his eyes never leaving mine as his hand leaves my hip and t
"Hey, you remember yesterday when we had the family over for lunch?" I say just as we approach the small coffee stand near the fountain at the centre of the park. It's run by a father and son out of a truck that normally attracts a large crowd of locals but today seems a little isolated, supposed we
"To be honest, I feel anxious about taking her out on my own" Rhode states honestly as we wait at the corner for our crosswalk light to turn green. It's a surprising admission that immediately gets my attention."You've never mentioned anything like that" I express as I put a hand on his arm while h
