"Oh she's definitely made a rash decision, even she realises that. She's just scared" Amelia replies. "Do you think I should give Max a call? Not to talk about Poppy but just to say that he doesn't need to feel awkward around me?" She asks in a slightly worried tone. I find myself holding back a smi
"If somebody had told you when we had met that we would be here one day, what would you have said?" She asks with a cheeky smile after placing a kiss to my jaw. If someone had told me that I would be living in suburbia with a daughter and a woman I am desperate to make my wife, I would have told the
"Is this another sneaky way that you give me money?" She asks with a small smirk. I suppress a laugh, ever since I've met her I've been trying to give her more money than she's willing to take. I had to get creative in a lot of ways."It's better than the way I used to do things. You know for the fi
"What?" I ask, completely perplexed. I have absolutely no idea how this show works meanwhile Amelia could write a doctoral dissertation on it."The boys and the girls split for a few days and go to another villa where they bring in new people. It's like a test, even though it's a stupid way of putti
"Pause it" Amelia whispers before she moves her leg across my lap and straddles me, as though she can read my mind. I fumble for the remote and quickly stop the TV before tossing the remote to the floor and losing myself in her kiss. Her tongue flickers against mine as her hips rolls delicately agai
"So did I baby, you feel so fucking good" I groan as we pick up the pace, our sweating bodies grinding against each other at a quick pace. Her hand reaches up to grasp the top of the couch behind me as she starts to move, really move. I trail my lips down her neck to her chest paying special attenti
"Well that went smoothly" Amelia says quietly to me as we exit the church, a sound asleep Juni cradled in her arms. Mum got her wish; Juni is now 'cleansed' and christened and Amelia got her wish; it was done in my family's church. Poppy is her god mother and Max is her godfather, slightly awkward c
"Your family are wonderful" Claudia states gently as she blinks away some tears that have welled up in her eyes. We find the backyard empty as we sit down at the table set up underneath a giant red outdoor umbrella beside mums vegetable garden. Juni settles quietly, seemingly comfortable to lay her
"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
