"Apparently Bill Gates is single now, so long as you don't mind having step children who are older than you" I tell her with a smirk. Amelia shudders and visibly cringes."Couldn't do it; even though he is SOOO much richer than you he's also not as hot and yeah the kid thing is a real no go" Amelia
"Good to see you Poppy , you look amazing" I say gently as I walk over and give her a hug as Amelia bounces Benjamin up and down on her hip."Aw, that's so sweet of you, I'm so glad you guys are back" Poppy says with a small laugh as she looks back at Amelia."Us too, he's grown so much since I las
My attention diverts away from Benjamin, who has now resolved himself to doze off in my arms and instead focuses on the two girls sitting on the couch. Amelia stops eating, a concerned frown quickly sweeping across her face."What do you mean he called you the other day?" Amelia asks, seemingly flab
"Well, I can run a business really well but I'm also kind of a fucked up mess because of him" I try and say it as casually as I can. I'm not about to go in depth about my deep rooted childhood issues with my fiancée's best friend over Chinese food, but I think I may be able to offer up some helpful
"You didn't tell Poppy about what happened?" I ask as Amelia and I stand on the front door step and watch Poppy 's car drive back down the driveway."No, I didn't tell anyone and I'm not going to" She replies with a small shrug."Why not?" I ask her. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that I d
My fingers push her bra down to expose a portion of her breasts as I flick my thumb over her nipple and crane my neck up to suck on the skin just below her tattoo. A loud moan emanates from her body as her own lips sloppily kiss down my neck, her free hand winding up tightly in my hair."Fuck me dad
"Perfect timing" Amelia says with a grin as I park outside of mums house where Briella's party is being thrown. There are already dozens of cars parked in the area, no doubt many of them are parents of party goers."Alright, let's get ready to suffer through this" I say begrudgingly before Amelia pu
"Where even is she? I feel like there are a hundred kids here" Amelia asks with a giggle as she cranes her head up to scan over the party. I catch a glimpse of her running around the bouncy castle and point her out. She comes out the other side, squealing with laughter as one of the other little kid
"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
