Rhode 's P.O.V "Honnneeyyy, your alarm" Amelia grumbles half asleep, her body wrapped around mine before she rolls over and attempts to fall back to sleep. "We have to get moving bub, our flights in a few hours" I remind her as I climb out of the bed and give her body a gentle shake. She immediate
"Think so!" She grins and stands in the middle of the room, spinning around to check every corner for forgotten items. I move quickly to pick up both her bag and my own and carry them down the stairs, knowing full well that she'll try to take her own and it's surprisingly heavy. "Ambrose will be ou
"Hello?....Oh, hi mumma" Her concern shifts into happiness when she realises who's on the other end of the call. Amelia made sure that she told her mum we were going, and I think it's made her mum a little anxious. "We're going to be totally fine mumma, even if it does rain planes can fly in the ra
There's already at least a few hundred people waiting to check into their flights, I couldn't stand waiting in the lines for that long. That's one of the benefits of first class flying, we have our own line. "Tickets are under Whitlock" I tell the smartly dressed woman behind the check out counter
"I'm sure you just plug it in and turn it on, most of these are fairly self explanatory these days" I chuckle as she starts to dutifully read the instruction manual, following the steps directly. "'These days', gosh you're such an old man" She jokes with me, giving me a playful grin afterwards. "C
"That's not what our relationship is about though. This is all just stuff, we're sharing stuff now, merging our lives together bit by bit" I explain, shifting my body closer to hers. I desperately want her to move back in with me, but she's not quite ready yet, when she does I know this whole proce
I pause in the middle of the sentence and listen to the announcement being made by a rather robotic voice, recognising our flight number. "Boarding time" Rhode confirms to me as he sits forward and start to gather up his things. He's been patiently listening to me read aloud for nearly an hour, an
I hate when I think like this, but it just comes automatically. Going from a place of basically poverty to very high privilege was never going to be easy, but doing it by falling in love makes it even harder. Growing up, I had to work two part time jobs while going to school to make sure we made end
"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
