"No, I like it...well I don't like that it happened. But I like it when you tell me things" He whispers back to me as his fingertips dust over my cheek. "I don't normally do it." I tell him. "I know. That's why I like it." He smiles softly again, knowing he's one of the only people I've ever wante
Apparently they have some kind of seperate unit off the side of the house that can act as a small home for Poppy and the baby when he comes so she'll have at least some independence. "Like all loving and cutesy. I swore I even heard him openly call you 'Bub' which made me want to sob because that'
"Tell him we're working late" Matt grins as he slings his backpack over his shoulder. Oh boy, I feel like maybe I should warn him about how Rhode reacts to guys around me. But there's no time right now, I'm sure another opportunity will present itself. "No we've sort of made plans already, next ti
"Why is that?" She asks without looking up from the paper in front of her. "Because it fades, and sometimes it's not enough" I shrug my shoulders, it's not often you get asked about your philosophy on such a broad and personal topic. "And do you think that now? That your love for your boyfriend wi
"I guess I'm just scared that it's all going to fall apart again. She's made so much progress and she finally resembles the mum I had when I was a little girl. I don't want her to suddenly become unhappy again" I admit. What if I just get her back and then I immediately lose her again? How do I ensu
"So how do I get rid of them?" I ask her, I feel like I don't ask her any questions ever, she asks me the questions. "Well we can try and develop some ways so that when you feel an episode coming on you can try and minimise it or make it go away. Some breathing exercises, some methods of relaxation
Rhode 's P.O.V "Everything okay?" I half chuckle while rubbing Amelia's back as she continues to hug herself close to me. Does she not like the bEloiser? I thought she'd like me making a big deal about her moving back in, it's a pretty big deal to me. "Yeah I'm fine, it's just been a really long d
"Hey, come on" I say as I lean forward and take a hold of her arm, pulling her up off of the sofa. She sits up and crawls over to my end, laying her head flat against my chest as I wrap one of my arms around her waist and gently stroke her hair. "It's going to be okay bub" I tell her softly. "You d
"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
