It's a long wait before they start reading out any names, a lot of different speeches from quite boring people about 'how the world is your oyster now' and 'go and make your mark on the world' or 'how proud you should all be of what you've achieved here today'. And although it's all awfully cliché,
Once the ceremony concludes, we are directed down a series of hallways to a grand open hall fitted with bright lights, two fully functioning bars and waiters wandering around with trays of Canapés.It doesn't take long to spot her in the crowd, she's wrapped up in conversation with one of those girl
"No thanks" I raise an eyebrow at it and hold it out to her, gesturing for her to take it back. She smile and gestures to Amelia."For your girl, I don't want to butt into her conversation but you can" She instructs me. Thank fuck for Bianca's occasional social awkwardness, this is the perfect 'in'
I cup her cheek and hurriedly press a kiss to her lips as I flip us around, pinning her against the door as my other hand slides under her dress. My fingertips trace their way up the side of the leg to her hip as her left leg lifts up to lock itself around my waist. Her hands comb their way through
"Open your eyes, watch as I fuck you" I tell her as I suppress a groan. She does what I tell her, tilting her head back down to face the mirror and opening her eyes to watch herself. From my angle she looks like a fucking goddess; a beautifully tight goddess overcome with desire. My hand stretches d
"So Amelia, it's been quite a while since we last spoke. How have things been for you?" Dr Lawrence smiles as we sit down in her office. I talked to her briefly on the phone after the accident but we didn't get into anything deep. Things have finally started to calm down after whats seemed like a cr
"Yeah, one of them. But the second job I held onto because I needed some independence. But I quit that one a little bit into my last semester" I reply softly."And was that your idea?" She asks quickly after I finish speaking."No, his idea" I say with a slight sigh. Dr Lawrence nods and writes some
"Do you trust him to be faithful to you?" She clarifies her question and I can feel my heart rate starting to really pick up. Thinking about Rhode cheating on me scares me, but what I think hurts the most would be imagining him having an emotional relationship like the one that we have with someone
"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
