"Uh, we met at a bar! It was uh, my friends birthday and he came over to us and we got to talking and uh that was it I guess! He runs hotels, you know those fancy 'Arcadia' ones? Yeah those are his. What else, uh he travels a lot for work which makes things tricky for us but we make it work. I mean
Rhodes was right, I really don't like this course. It was a miracle staying awake during the last 2 hour long lecture, I barely took any notes. They brought in the guest lecturer to keep the content fresh and exciting and yet they presented us with the most boring man alive. What he said to me the o
"Where's your car?" I ask. His glee is evident with his wide grin as he takes out a set of car keys and clicks a button, a set of headlights flash on a nearby sleek black Ferrari. This man and his cars, he's always a showman. "One of my favourites, since the weather is still nice I thought we might
"So what movie are they playing?" I ask Rhodes as we climb up the final set of stairs to the roof. You would think that they would have put in an elevator to make it easier to get to this thing, but I guess that's not high on these peoples agenda. "It's called 'Love Really' I think, apparently it's
I can't think about him throwing me away right now; because if he does these are the nights I want to hold onto. And if I'm too busy worrying about all of this stuff for the future I won't have a happy memory to look back on. "Uhh, around 5 minutes I think. Are you sure you're alright?" He asks aft
It sure would make things easier if neither of us had to change but that's not what the reality is for us. And I know I'm prepared to make the sacrifices to be with him, it feels too good with him to go completely without him over small things like wardrobe and contract clauses. "I like who you are
"Would you like a drink?" Rhodes asks as the elevator arrives at his floor and we both head in the direction of the kitchen. "Yes please" I mumble quietly as I take a seat at one of the bar stools while Rhodes opens the fridge and takes out two wine glasses. I probably should have started drink whe
I'm slightly concerned that his lack of vision will lead to us tumbling down the stairs so I break our kiss and sip my head down to kiss his neck softly. Rhodes's long legs quickly climb the stairs as he carries me quickly down the long corridor leading to his bedroom and kicks the door open. My bo
"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
