I pull my car into the parking lot near the main entrance of the small local police building and switch off the ignition. I've only been here once before, the first time I bailed Dante out but now that seems like such a long time ago. He swore to me how I would never have to do it again, that he wou
"H-hey man" Dante awkwardly coughs out, trying to look at me whilst also avoiding eye contact. It all of a sudden clicks in my head. I'm so sick of this. I'm so fucking done with all of this shit. "Come on, we need to talk. We aren't far from your place. We can walk back" I say sternly. Jen looks b
It may be too hot for jeans today. The warmth of the window sill reminds me that the winter time is finally over, it may be time to invest in some clothes to match the changing seasons. I sit on the end of the bed and pull on my shoes as I look at my half finished painting that I started last night.
I'm a bit of a sweaty mess by the time I sit down in Dr Lawrence's office, but I made it on time and that's all that matters. "Hi Amelia, how have things been since our last session?" Dr Lawrence sits before me, poised and ready to go with her pen and notes in hand. "Pretty good actually. I um, I
My friend is about to make maybe one of the biggest decisions in her life, it would be weird not to look at myself and think about how I would feel if the roles were reversed. "Shall we talk about that?" She asks. She told me in the beginning that if I'm not comfortable talking about something then
"Yes. I do. Even though I know a future with him would be complicated and messy, our worlds don't exactly fit together perfectly but I like how we fit together regardless." I don't know how to explain why we work together, but we do. "Want my advice?" Dr Lawrence asks with a small smile. "Yes plea
Rhode 's P.O.V Who the fuck would be calling me at one in the morning? It better not be my aunt Jen again asking for more money. I roll over onto my side and turn on the lamp, illuminating a small amount of my room. The landline plugged into my bed is incessantly ringing, the button mantles 'Front
It's quite hilarious to watch; and though I'm definitely mad that I'm about to hear about Luke, I can't help but let a smile warm up my face as I nod my head. She continues. "Anyway! He kept trying to buy me drinks or get me to go dancing with him and I didn't feel comfortable so I told him I was g
"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
