"She's okay I think, just upset that it happened" Amelia shrugged. She doesn't ask about it further, maybe because last time she asked was after my uncles birthday. Fuck that was a nasty fight, I can be such a prick sometimes. "What exactly did he say to you?" I ask her quietly. I don't like talkin
I keep my body in the same position as I figure out where to start. I've never told this story before; the only people that really know the whole story like I'm about to tell her we're the other people involved in it. I've never had to repeat it before to anyone else. "So Dante and I are cousins, b
"They think that I'm just upset that I lost a lot of money and a lot of credibility, which I did. I was the idiot kid who thought that I could build an empire only to be screwed over my own family. It took me years to win back that trust and reputation, and sometimes I'm still not taken seriously. B
"If at any point you want to go.." Amelia begins. "I know, I'll let you know" I reply, leaning my head down to kiss the top of her head. I push open the little gate and Amelia opens the front door for us. The room inside becomes silent when we enter as Amelia and I take off our coats and shoes. Ins
Judging by the slight laugh she emits when I start to kiss her neck and pull her close to me, I don't favour my chances of getting any tonight despite my earlier declaration of love. "Your mum is downstairs" Amelia whines quietly, yet her head tips to the side to allow me more access to her soft sk
"Come on Amelia, let's get you out of this bed" Poppy 's quiet voice wakes me up as she shakes me gently in an attempt to wake me up. I shake my head and groan, she's pulled the curtains and the sunlight is now streaming into my eye. I squint my eyes to see Poppy perched on the edge of my bed, dres
"At the end of the day you know I'm there for you 100%, no matter what you do. You deserve to be happy babes, just make sure that whatever you do you choose to be happy" She says reassuringly before she stands up and gives me a kiss on the head. I hear the front door shut behind her a few moments la
"How did he react when things ended?" She asks. "I'm not sure" I shrug. I swallow the lump that has formed in my throat before I clarify my response. "We had a fight. He went out of town on a business trip and I packed up all of my things and left him a note" Saying it out loud makes me want to bur
"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
