Chapter 31 - One last option to consider

"You have some explaining to do." Tamara says as she sits on the couch, Charlie in her lap enjoying how her hand passes through his fur. "I know," I say as I put down my bag... and the cane... and take off the sunglasses."Ohh I'm really looking forward to hearing what you have to say... I mean how will you justify getting that job on false pretences? Lying to people with such power could destroy you, and all of your dreams... I just dont know what were you thinking Love. How do you plan to get out of it?" I let out a heavy sigh, feeling the weight of her words settle around me like a thick fog. Tamara’s gaze is sharp, eyes filled with disappointment and concern. "It was a chance to help someone but at the same time help myself, help Mira. We would have lost this apartment that no matter how crapy it is it's still better than the street. I was in a tight spot so I just did it." It is the best I can do to justify myself. Is it good? Perhaps not, but lies aren't usually meant to have

Chapter 32 - Kicked out

Today marks the fiftyth day of my working for the Callahans. It went by so fast and so intense, with me helping Sebastian be more independent each day while at the same time falling in love with Christian more and more. I discovered he is funny, kind, talented, generous, committed, driven, stubborn... so human, in the best way possible. Yet still I didn't let myself allow him to get closer to me. I was still able to use Charlie as a way to run away from him. That little lost puppy helped me a lot but it now had Mira and me in a lot of trouble. "You can't kick us out... it's six days until Christmas where the hell do you want us to go!" Mira yelled, her voice shaking with frustration as she stood in front of the landlord, trying her best to look confident "The rules on your lees were clear, no pets allowed. That filthy mut probably ruined the place." This place was ruined even before we got here, quite frankly he was lucky we were so desperate. "Number one, our dog is not filthy. N

Chapter 33 - A simple favor

"What are you doing here? I thought the driver was gonna pick me up like always?" I ask Christian trying to reclaim his attention back from Charlie while Mira just realizes how she ruined my line of defense. "I have taken care of some busses with Aiden close by so I thought I would pick you up. It's good that I did... why dont I find someone to help you pack later and both of you can stay at my house while you get things sorted out." Me? Staying over at his house? Absolutely no. I have a hard time staying away from him and accepting that offer would throw all of that out the window. I shake my head, trying to keep my voice steady. "No, that’s really kind of you, but I’m not sure that’s necessary. We’ll be fine, will move our things to our friend's place and look for a place to stay in the meantime."Christian gives me a sharp look, his gaze unwavering. "Are you sure? I’m more than glad to help, and I'm sure Sebastian would actually love to have you with us. Mother even more." His to

Chapter 34 - I haven't accomplished anything

"Are you sure it's not too soon? I was thinking of easing him into that conversation especially since you said it was such a delicate topic." I asked Christian as he let me know exactly what Grace wanted me to do."Well, my mother made an appointment for him in the middle of January so you have a little bit over three weeks to talk him into it," Christian says it so effortlessly like he just knows I can do it. A part of me is flattered but the fraud part of me is always there to not let me enjoy but one second of anything that happens between us."I'll see what I can do..." So far all I know is that Sebastian hates doctors for the amount of times they gave him false hope... but hope really does mean fifty-fifty. Hope is just another word for giving it a chance.Christian’s expression softens slightly, his eyes studying me with that familiar intensity. “You can do it,” he says. “Sebastian respects you. He listens to you.”"It's because I listen back. Two-way street, you know..." "I get

Chapter 35 - Hope

"Morning, Bash." Yes, we went down the road of nicknames. It's what friends do after all. "Good morning, Love." My name makes it hard to give nicknames. But my dad once upon a time called me Bug... "Not sure is a good one but I'll take what I can get," I say as I put down my bag and sit down next to him. Marley came to my knees and leaned its head over my leg as I pet his head, "Why? What happened?" Sebastian asks. "I... well, my friend and I got kicked out of our apartment today. So when I leave here today there is a lot of packing in store for us." Sebastian's eyebrows frown as he listens to my words, and his body leans forward. "What? What are you going to do now? If you need a place to stay you are more then welcome here." Who knew that people of such wealth would be so kind as to offer their hearts to someone like me... "Thank you, Bash, but it is not necessary, we are moving some of our things to Tamara's place and Christian gave us a card from a friend of his that ca

Chapter 36 - Always

"I'm sorry, what?" I ask in shock. "I'll make an appointment with the doctor if you do it with me?" Yeah, that's about exactly what I heard the first time. This brings this situation to a whole new level of messed up. So this will be my downfall... there is no way I come on top this time. "Bash, I..." I have no words to get me out of this. If I say no he won't do it, but if I say yes... I lose... "It's up to you, Love. You hold our future in your hands." Why is he saying all these words that just make this worse by the second? "I can't afford your doctors but I can be there for you every second of the way.""Please, money is not the issue here. I will cover any expenses but I just dont see how I could do this without the person who inspired me to try in the first place." Money... I can't have them waste any more money on me, I feel like I'm robbing them as is. But how do I make Sebastian do this without agreeing to his proposition? I promised Christian and Grace I would help... I

Chapter 37 - This was Christian’s doing

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I whisper to Mira as the lady from the real estate walks further into the kitchen. This apartment was not only in a nice secure building, but the layout was also open, with a spacious white kitchen that then washed into a gray-stoned-themed living room. Not one but two bathrooms, each for every room. The closet space is out of Mira's dreams, completely furnished and perhaps best of all pet friendly. I mean Charlie was already loving it here."If you are seeing heaven, then yes," Mira whispers back as we walk through the kitchen island the lady starts to spread some papers on the surface."So what do you think of the place?" Is that question supposed to be a joke? Who wouldn't love to live in a place like this?"It's absolutely amazing... but before I further fall in love with it tell me the rent price," Mira tells her and the woman smiles."Well I have the contract here, so take a look." She slides the paper closer to Mira. Mira pauses, her fingers run

Chapter 38 - The stronger one

Christian's POV"So it's done?" I ask Gwen over the phone as I sit in my home office."Yes, Mr.Callahan. The contract is signed on a three-year lease and they will be moving in tomorrow." She says and it's a good thing I'm alone because the smile on my face must look ridiculous. But it didn't matter, I did it for her, for Love. "Great Gwen. I'll wire you the difference you knocked out the rent and your commission. Thank you for this favor." I lean back in my chair, my fingers drumming lightly on the armrest, a surge of satisfaction filling my chest. I did it. Love would never have asked for this, but I couldn't stand the thought of her struggling, not when I could help. A part of me wonders if she’ll even notice, or if she’ll simply think it’s just a coincidence, a stroke of luck."You're welcome, Mr. Callahan," Gwen replies, "I’ll have everything processed on my end by the end of the day. You don’t need to worry about a thing.""Good," I say. "Make sure they’re settled in, and let me

Chapter 39 - The world in the palm of her hand

"Your brother is right, you should drop that boss thing, and the friendship charade... just find a way to stand in front of her and tell her you want her. It shouldn't be this hard to get a woman." Aiden says as he twirls the glass of whisky in his arms, the eyes sliding from one side of the glass to the other. He is right, it shouldn't be this hard to get a woman, but Love wasn't just any woman... she was different. She was Love for God's sake."You think so?" I ask, not sure if I’m seeking validation or just looking for an excuse to avoid what he’s pushing me toward.I lean forward, my fingers tapping the edge of my own glass, deep in thought. "You don’t get it, Aiden. She’s not like anyone else. She's... different." I sound like a broken record player.Aiden raises an eyebrow, the faintest smirk curling at the corners of his mouth. "Different how? You tell me there is a woman out there who would want to become Christian Callahan's girlfriend and get the world in the palm of her hand

Chapter 40 - I’m not here for the drinks

So here I am standing at her door, an orchid in my hands hesitant to knock as I hear movement around the place. Aidens words stuck in my head... You are Christian Callahan and that means anything to me in this moment. But he was right about one thing, I needed to be determined, I needed to be sure of myself... that is the only way Love could be sure about my feelings. I need to prove that to her. So I knock on the door and the inside suddenly goes quiet, I stand there for a moment, waiting, heart racing in my chest. The sound of Charlie barking only adds to the tension building in my veins. It's almost like the dog knows I'm standing outside.I have to say... learning that Charlie was a dog was a huge relief, I hated the thought of a man being close to her, close to something I have in some way already claimed as mine.A second passes, maybe two, and then the door creaks open."Yes." She’s there, standing in front of me, looking as effortlessly beautiful as ever. Love's face seemed fr
