"Yeah but, things are different now" Amelia replies with a shrug and a coy smile."What sort of things?" I ask genuinely curious. What's changed since Australia? She found out I did an awful thing and we had a massive three day fight during our friends wedding where in the end she decided not to lea
This day three years ago when Briella was born, I was in Australia. My sister was about to give birth for the first time, but that didn't stop me from leaving the country for work. And when I found out she was in labour, I didn't fly back early, I stayed until my business was dealt with and met Brie
Amelia's P.O.VI have absolutely no idea where we are. We've been walking aimlessly around Rome for a while now, just going wherever the path seems to take us. But Rhode seems to know where we are and where we're going next, so I hold onto his hand nice and tight."Look, I’m not saying it was a bad
"I can't believe we have to go back in two weeks" I break the silence with a gentle sigh. We've been away for two weeks already and we only have two more to go. It was the most time I felt comfortable asking for off of work while still being so new to my job."We could stay for longer if we wanted"
"I guess so." Rhode responds somewhat shyly. I know these sorts of things are hard for him, but he's become remarkably better at them since starting therapy last year."He's always looking out for you." I add with a small smile as I angle my head to look up at him. Rhode looks ahead at the fountain,
It's a beautiful story, and it fits perfectly into the story that we've created between us two. We took a chance on each other, without knowing when or if or how it would work out. There have been so many obstacles in our way, put there by others and also by ourselves, but we fought through them. I
The door to his office soon shuts and the world is my own for the next little while. I walk into the bedroom and pull the blinds shut, kick off my shoes and lay down on the bed hoping that soon the overwhelming need for sleep will appear and allow me to get some rest. I wait and wait and wait, and n
Biting down on my bottom lip and trying to breathe evenly, I slowly inch the vibrator down onto the most sensitive point, tipping my head backwards and curling my toes at the immediate and strong sensation it illicits. I squeeze my eyes shut for a moment and collect myself before lifting my head bac
"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
