Will You Marry Me, Again Friends? Or Something More
Hazel WestIt was getting to week now since we escaped from my house to Dunlop's because of the press and paparazzi. The kids were loving it because Dunlop's house was more sophisticated and better video games He even had maids. I won't lie, I was kind of feeling his house too. The press harassment still continued but it wasn't as intense as before since we moved. We had all gotten over Lucas' death and it no longer brought tears when we spoke or thought of him, just good memories Dunlop had so many other drivers, but deep down I knew that none of them would ever be able to take Lucas' place. “Kids, what do y'all want for breakfast?” I heard Dunlop from my room.“Uhmmm.. I think we'll go with waffles." Zion said “I want pancakes and ohh cereal too” William said "Alright,” Dunlop replied, and I could hear his footsteps as he approached my room. He knocked on my door a little, and I gave him permission to come in. “Hi Hazel. Good morning,” he said, taking a seat. “Hi Charisa,” h
Will You Marry Me, Again Guilt
Hazel West I snapped back to the present and looked up at him. He was now very close to me, and I could almost run my hands down his chest. “You wish,” I replied, and he laughed. “Okay? So why are you here then? It's fine if you were checking me out; there's more to see,” he said, and for some reason his voice sounded more masculine. “First off, ewwwwww. Don't ever say that again. I came because I need your help with the kids' birthday, or did you forget that their birthday is coming up tomorrow?” I answered, trying to stop myself from blushing. “The kids? I knew that William's birthday was coming up tomorrow, and I was planning something. I didn't know that Zion's birthday was tomorrow too.” “They were born on the same day. Now you know. Take a shower and get dressed so we can start planning the surprise before they get back,” I said and turned to leave. I went to my room and started drafting out things we would need. Balloons, a cake—it would obviously be in the house, so we

Hazel West I was falling for him all over again and I was going to get hurt. He was the same man that had me but then divorced me for my best friend ‘What are you doing’ my head screamed at me and my eyes flung openDunlop's eyes were still closed and his lips were almost nearing mine. I drew back and he opened his eyes “Uhmm, let me finish up with your dressing. We have a party to plan,” I said, getting up from the bed. “Don't bother. I'll just do it myself and meet you downstairs,” he said, grabbing the gauze. I nodded quickly, trying to hide the confusion and turmoil brewing inside me. My heart was racing, and I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks. "Okay, I'll be downstairs," I muttered, avoiding his gaze as I walked toward the door.As soon as I was out of his room, I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, taking a deep breath. What had just happened? I had almost kissed him—again. The same man who had shattered my heart into a million pieces, and here I was, a
Will You Marry Me, Again Heroes And Villains
Hazel West I got up the next morning to soft music playing in the house. I put on my robe and went downstairs, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Everywhere was set up perfectly. The cake was beautifully displayed on the dining table, surrounded by an array of colorful decorations. Balloons filled the living room, and streamers hung from the ceiling, adding a festive touch to the entire space. The gifts were neatly wrapped and stacked in one corner, ready to surprise the kids.It was as if a team of professionals had come in overnight and transformed the house into a party wonderland. I stood in awe, taking it all in. Just as I was admiring the setup, Dunlop appeared from the kitchen, holding a tray with two cups of coffee. .“Good morning, sleeping beauty. I thought you would sleep all through the day,” he greeted with a warm smile, handing me one of the cups. “Thought you could use a little caffeine to start the day.”I took the cup, still a bit stunned by what I was seeing. “I coul
Will You Marry Me, Again Surprise
Hazel West Dunlop and I headed downstairs after observing the guests. I got mixed up in the crowd welcoming the guests while Dunlop went up taking the mic“Ahemmm” he cleared his throat and it echoed through the speakers. “The kids are on their way here, so we're gonna turn off the lights and hide and then shout a big ‘surprise’ when they walk in. Everyone in on that?”The crowd gave an excited affirmative murmur. I got called again but Charisa and stepped away from the guests and the music to answer“Charisa?”“I'm almost at the front door” she alerted me “Okay, got it” I hung up and looked for Dunlop in the crowd When I found him I hastily walked over to him and told him that the kids were near. He went up and took the microphone again“It's time to hide guys. After the kids walk in? We'll count to three before we jump out and shout ‘surprise'. I could see the excitement in his eyes I was more interested in seeing the excitement in the kid's face when they saw all of this “Sand

The DJ started the music and we all started dancing showing our various moves After a minute or two, the music would stop and the crowd would get to pick who should leave. We all kept dancing till it was just I and Dunlop left “And we're down to two dancers. Two dancers the crowd loves. Who is going to be the overall dancerrrre? The DJ’s voice echoed throughout the room before he hit us with the music The music blared as Dunlop and I stepped into the center of the room, surrounded by a circle of eager spectators. The children, especially William and Zion, were bouncing with excitement. Dunlop shot me a playful grin, his eyes twinkling under the dim party lights."Ready to show them what you've got?" he teased, stepping closer, his Batman cape swishing behind him.The fans were really on his side because the air kept blowing under his cape, lifting it up and making him look all heroic I
Will You Marry Me, Again Desire
Hazel WestThe crowd began to disperse, people returning to the dance floor or mingling with each other. The DJ switched to a more upbeat track, and the energy in the room shifted back to celebration mode.I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. “I guess we gave them what they wanted,” I said to myself I turned to look at Dunlop but he had already disappeared to cut the cake with the kidsBefore I could go to the cake stand, Charisa appeared at my side, her smile wide and knowing. “That was quite a show you two put on,” she teased, nudging me playfully.I laughed, “Yeah, well, it was all for the kids.”“Mmmmmm. Sure it was,” Charisa said with a wink before heading over joining them at the cake stand I gave myself a moment to regroup before joining everyone at the cake standWe ordered vanilla and chocolate merged in one. William was a big chocolate lover while Zion was a vanilla fan. Instead of asking for two cakes we just merged the two flavours, one flavour at one side “Th

Hazel WestNo, not again. This wasn't going to repeat itself. I had been hurt before by Dunlop. How could I forget that? He had cheated on me with just not anyone else but my best friend and divorced me while I was pregnant. He didn't know I was pregnant but I wouldn't have made any differenceI let him back into my life and into my life for Zion's sake and William's too, I wasn't going to let him in my life. It was like my heart and my head were conflicting. My heart was screaming something and my head was whispering something completely different It was just one kiss, for the kids. It shouldn't lift me off my feet like that What was going on with me?I know it was my hormones acting up again. It's probably my ovulation time and I hadn't had sex in months since Jacob left for New York. I got up from the floor and called Jacob, it's been a couple weeks since I spoke to him. I hoped he wasn't busy with work I dailed his number and it ringed thrice with no response. I dialed it aga

Will You Marry Me, Again Epilogue
Hazel WestThe ballroom was alive with excitement, laughter echoing off the walls, and glasses clinking in celebration. I stood near the entrance, taking in the sea of familiar faces, all dressed in their finest and gathered to celebrate with us. I still couldn’t fully believe it—our wedding day, the day I officially became Mrs. West.Across the room, Dunlop caught my eye. He looked striking in his tuxedo, his hair perfectly styled, and that familiar, irresistible smile tugging at his lips. My heart did a little dance just watching him. After everything—the arguments, the breakups, the makeups, and every crazy turn in between—it all led us here. He was laughing with a group of friends, but his eyes kept drifting back to me, a soft look of reassurance and love in his gaze, like he was still making sure I was really there, that this was really happening.A waiter passed by, balancing a tray of champagne, and I grabbed a glass, taking a sip to steady my nerves. It was such a strange but

Will You Marry Me, Again The Final Showdown
Hazel West I had moved back in with Dunlop and the kids joy knew no bounds “Hey boy” I called out to William and Zion. It was time tell Zion that Dunlop was his real father and Dunlop was nervous and elated all at the same time I could feel the tension in the air as we gathered in the living room. Dunlop paced back and forth, his hands running through his hair, while I tried to stay calm, sitting on the couch with William and Zion beside me. Both boys were excited, oblivious to the weight of the moment. “Mom, what’s going on?” Zion asked, looking up at me with those wide, curious eyes that always made my heart melt. “Yeah, what’s the big surprise?” William chimed in, bouncing on the balls of his feet, unable to contain his energy. I took a deep breath, reaching for Zion’s hand, and Dunlop finally stopped pacing, coming to stand in front of us. He knelt down, so he was at eye level with the boys, his expression softening as he looked at Zion. “There’s something important we n

He followed me seconds later, his body shuddering as he came, collapsing on top of me, both of us panting, drenched in sweat and rainwater. For a long moment, we just lay there, tangled in each other, the sound of our breathing the only thing breaking the silence. Finally, he rolled off me, pulling me into his arms, holding me close. “I’m so sorry, Hazel,” he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. “I didn't know Camilla was going to try to drug me, I would have been more cautious. I'm sorry you had to see us like that” I rested my head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart, the sound soothing, comforting. “I know,” I whispered back. “We’ll face everything together, Dunlop. No more running away.” “What suddenly changed your mind? You were so mad at me before and now you believe me? What happened” he asked running his hands in my hair I pulled away from him and looked at him “Your mother called and she advised me to put my emotions away and think clearly. And s

Hazel West “Hazel wait”Dunlop yelled under the rain “Please don't go. I can explain everything” I ran over to him and jumped on him, engulfing him in a hug. I could sense his confusion as he wrapped his hands around me. “You don't have to explain anything, I believe you” I whispered still hugging him “You do?” He asked in shock as he dropped me “I do” I said holding his face “I'm so sorry I didn't believe you at first, I'm sorry I left you all by yourself” I leaned in and kissed him and his hands wrapped around my waist as he kissed me back I held his hand and we ran back inside. We headed up to my room and I barely managed to close the door before Dunlop’s lips crashed into mine. The rain had soaked us through, our clothes were clinging to our bodies, but all I could feel was the heat radiating between us, the cold completely forgotten. Dunlop’s hands trembled as he held my face, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes. “Hazel, I’ve missed you so much. I thou

I picked up my phone and scrolled through pictures of us and tears formed in my eyes Why did he even come here? What was he trying to explain? I saw them naked together Camilla words kept ringing in my head ‘He'll always come back to me’“Mummy, we called grandma to talk to her on our tablet and now she wants to talk to you” William said peeping through the slight gap in my door “I don't want to talk to anyone. Maybe later” I sniffed “Hazel, I'm not asking if I can talk to you, I'm telling you that I need to talk to you” I heard Mirinda say from William's tablet. She was placed on speakerphone I walked over to William and took the tablet from him before he went to his room “Hi Mirinda” I
