Three hours later we are back in the middle of Paris, having just left the Eiffel Tower we've found a little market. I'm a sucker for a good market, so I drag Rhodes through the stalls looking for nothing in particular. I find a stand that I like very much, a young father and son are selling their w
"Merci" I say quietly as the waiter places down the small pastry in front of me. Across the table from me, Rhodes stifles a small chuckle as he takes a sip of his coffee. "What, did I say it wrong?" I ask him quietly after the waiter leaves. I thought I had it right, I'm slowly becoming completely m
"Hey, you okay?" Rhodes phone is placed back in his pocket and his attention is placed directly on me. "You've gone pretty pale" he observes. I nods my head, swallowing the lump in my throat. "I don't think I'm going to enjoy flying" I meekly reply, I'm not going to let him in on my inner ramblings
Rhodes's P.O.V Normally I find plane rides to be dead boring, especially the shorter ones. There's no point getting stuck into a movie or your book because you'll have to put it away soon after. But this flight, it's been different. That's what she does; the girl in the seat beside me, she makes e
This girl can sleep anywhere. I know this because she fell asleep almost as soon as we got into the car after Ambrose picked us up from the airport. He landed back home on an earlier flight this morning. "Bub, wake up" I nudge her shoulder gently as the hotel becomes within sight. Once again her he
I stand up press my lips to hers, slipping my tongue in between her lips and navigating her blindly towards the bed. I feel her hands palm my jeans as she attempts to undo them, requiring a little bit of help from my eager hands. The second my jeans pool around my ankles her hand is pressed against
I slip the condom off and deposit it into the bin near my bed while Amelia slides on her panties and goes over to her bag. I pretend not to notice her legs shaking slightly as she makes her way towards it, climbing into the bed after pulling my boxers back on. I'd love for her to sleep naked, but I
Her shoulders lift up in a shrug as we make our way over to the car after I unlock it. "You took me to the movies in this one, so I like it" She smiles as she walks around to her side and slide herself into her seat. Her reasoning is adorable. "Ah yes, the rooftop cinema, that was a good night" I s
"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
