Damon!
Damon ~”Yes baby?”
Skye ~”I am in that damn magazine again!”
Damon ~”You wanted to post all those pictures all over that instant-photo thing.”
Skye ~”It is Instagram and I did not even post that many photos. This stupid magazine are saying that we are married!”
Damon ~”Hahaha. It will teach you. Last week they said we are engaged.”
Skye ~”That is the fastest damn wedding I have ever seen. If we supposed to be married, why don’t they have photos of the wedding?”
Damon ~”Don’t worry baby, next week we are split up again.”
Skye ~”I am glad you are finding it funny. They stand outside the coffee shop and take pictures.”
Damon ~”At least business will pick up.”
Skye ~”I know of something else that is getting picked up.”
Damon ~”Oh I would love to see your tiny ass pick all of this up.”
Skye ~”Urgh! This is not funny!”
Yes Skye has moved in with me, she did not want to go back to her place so we sold it. Now we officially a real couple living together.
She has got all of her memory back. That night I thought that she was nearly going to kill me, but we talked it out and everything was ok. I think she was so desperate for a normal life again that she was willing to see past my mistakes.
We are going to that dinner that we never had. Thanks to her newfound stardom, she got us a booking again. We are meeting the boys and their dates at the pub downstairs at my office.
Damon ~”Hey guys.”
Mason ~”Oh hello Mr and Mrs Chase.”
Skye ~”Don’t you start with your nonsense.”
Brody ~”What, you guys look so cute in those pictures.”
Damon ~”It is this one’s fault, she wanted to post every damn photo she took. Now my ass is married and plastered over every damn magazine.”
Skye ~”Is it so bad if you are married to me?”
Damon ~”You better watch what you say, just now we getting a divorce.”
Skye ~”You are absolutely impossible! Where is my sister?”
Mason ~”She is late.”
Skye ~”And Chloe?”
Brody ~”She has gone to the ladies.”
Damon ~”Why don’t you just sit and have a drink. Tomorrow I will go buy you a ring and put it on your finger.”
Skye ~”What the hell is that going to help? Are you making fun of me Damon?”
Damon ~”Baby I am just joking.”
Skye ~”Joking will get himself in the guest room tonight.”
Damon ~”I think I am going to keep quiet.”
Lucky I see her sister come walking to us. Yes her sister has been dating Mason, guess there were sparks there after all from when they hooked up for that first time.
Amber ~”Hey Mrs Chase.”
Skye ~”Amber, think very carefully before you finish that sentence.”
Amber ~”Ah why are you so tense? I would love the attention.”
Damon ~”They follow her around, now I want to really marry her and she said no.”
Skye ~”Damon what did I say about the guest room?”
Damon ~”Brody where is your girl?”
Brody ~”She is a bit nervous to meet you.”
Damon ~”What did you say to her?”
Brody ~”Nothing.”
Damon ~”Remember you running out of time and out of options. This better be the one.”
Brody ~”Maybe I should ask Skye to plaster my ass everywhere, then I would also be married.”
Damon ~”Believe me you do not want this kind of attention.”
Brody ~”Oh here she comes, you all better be nice! Especially you Amber.”
Amber ~”Fuck you would swear I am a bitch.”
Damon ~”I don’t think any of us is going to answer that.”
Brody is beyond nervous, I would like to say that Chloe is the one but that is what we all thought of Joelle. And no, Chloe is not my assistant. I am glad to say but after much begging, I got Joelle to stay on as my assistant.
Brody ~”Everyone this is Chloe.”
Brody ~”Chloe, you know my brother Damon, Skye is his girlfriend, then the old looking guy is Mason and that is his date Amber which is also Skye’s sister and she works for me.”
Chloe ~”Hey everyone, that was quite the introduction.”
Damon ~”Brody is just trying to act polite.”
Skye ~”Damon!”
Damon ~”What, Brody does not know how to spell the word manners.”
Skye ~”Baby!”
Damon ~”I am just kidding Chloe.”
Skye ~”And Damon is just acting like an ass.”
Damon ~”I wonder who is going to sleep in the guestroom now.”
Skye ~”Dammit that idiot with his camera heard you. Fantastic, tomorrow I am divorced.”
Chloe ~”By the looks it is going to be in the next hour.”
Damon ~”If I did not love this woman so much then I would have strangled her.”
I think deep down that she loves the attention, not so much the attention but knowing that every other woman out there knows that I belong to her. So what if they say we are married, I firmly believe it will be me that is putting a ring on that finger, not quite yet but maybe someday in the future.
Damon ~”I think it is time we head on out.”
Brody ~”Are we all piling into mine?”
Damon ~”We might as well, pointless going convoy.”
Chloe ~”You guys sound like you about to take on a mission.”
Amber ~”They are just trying to sound clever.”
Skye ~”Well that is definitely not happening.”
Amber ~”The brain capacity is zero.”
Skye ~”Come on sis they don’t even have a brain.”
Damon ~”You and your clever mouth better watch it/”
Skye ~”Or what?”
Damon ~”I can’t say it in front of everyone.”
Skye ~”It has never stopped you.”
Damon ~”I don’t want Chloe to think badly of me.”
Mason ~”You would be glad if she even does think of you.”
Damon ~”Okay why the fuck is every one shitting on me?”
Brody ~”Because you have become come an old softy.”
Damon ~”Can you just get your asses in the damn car?”
Chloe ~”I can see why they are brothers.”
Damon ~”I still like you Chloe, don’t make me change my mind.”
Skye ~”Damon! That is rude.”
Damon ~”Sorry baby.”
Chloe ~”Damn you have just been whipped.”
Skye ~”That is the only way you can handle these two boys.”
They grind my ass the entire time to the restaurant. They only being nice to Brody because he got a new girl and no one will pick on Mason because Amber will slap them.
But when we get to the restaurant, I get my sweet revenge. We approach the front desk to be confirm our reservation.
Waiter ~”Mr and Mrs Chase, please come this way.”
I nearly drop over from laughing.
Skye ~”Damon Chase.”
Damon ~”Yes Mrs Chase.”
Skye ~”I am going to kill you.”
We all have a wonderful evening together. Skye eventually relaxes and is totally in her element because she finally got to come to this restaurant. Would I have wanted it to happen before the accident or rather now? It might be very mean to say but much rather now. We have come such a long way together, we are much closer than we would have ever been at that time. However messed up it is, everything does happen for a reason.
Before going our separate ways back home, we make our plans to meet up again. We need to get Brody married. Yes the last near failure of our matchmaking is still fresh in our heads but we got to get this ball rolling. Brody has three months to tie the knot, with a woman that he is in love with. Of course we are not about to marry him off to some stranger. We just need to marry him off to the right woman like real fast.
When we get home, she heads to the room to go change, I get comfortable on the couch with Bella and Max, ready to watch one of my favourite series. When I all of a sudden hear her.
Skye ~”Damon!”
Oh my fuck here we go.
Damon ~”Yes baby?”
Skye ~”Come look here.”
Damon ~”Baby can’t you bring it here?”
Skye ~”Damon Chase.”
Damon ~”Yes baby I am coming.”
I wonder what poor old Max have torn apart. I mean, he is a puppy, he is going to chew things up. The poor man needs a break just like me.
Damon ~”Yes baby what is wrong?”
Skye ~”Look at this!”
She shoves her phone in front of my face.
I nearly ball over laughing, she clearly not seeing my amusement funny. The harder I laugh, the more cross she gets.
Skye ~”Damon this is not funny.”
Damon ~”Baby, you just going to have to get used to it. They are not going to stop.”
Skye ~”I never knew dating you were going to be so much trouble. I am going to be grey before I hit thirty.”
Damon ~”Baby I am sorry to break it to you but you are already grey.”
Skye ~”Damon Chase, you and Max can go sleep in the guest room.”
Damon ~”Why poor Max now?”
She points to her chewed up stiletto
Damon ~”Oh Max, we boys are never going to win.”
Skye ~”You boys are always in trouble.”
Damon ~”So you are going to sleep alone?”
Skye ~”I have Bella.”
Damon ~”You forget Bella only sleeps where Max does.”
Skye ~”You know what, you are so not funny.”
Damon ~”So does it mean I can sleep by you?”
Skye ~”Yes just bring your ass to bed.”
Damon ~”You know what I have not told you?”
Skye ~”No, did I forget something?”
Damon ~”No baby, I just wanted to tell you I love you.”
Skye ~”I love you too my make belief husband.”
Damon ~”Come let’s run off and get married for real.”
Skye ~”You just being silly now.”
Damon ~”I am not silly, I am serious.”
Skye ~”Stop fucking around. We must get Brody married. How are we going to do that?”
Damon ~”What did you think of Chloe?”
Skye ~”She is very soft and quiet. I don’t know if she will fit with Brody’s crazy personality.”
Damon ~”What did you think of that Alexa?”
Skye ~”Fuck no she is a real cow.”
Damon ~”And Jo?”
Skye ~”No Jo will never settle down. And she only used Brody for the sex.”
Damon ~”Damn if Joelle only wanted to settle down.”
Skye ~”I have another two girls that we can set him up with.”
She pulls up pictures of two girls.
Skye ~”There is Tori.”
Skye ~”And then Candice.”
Damon ~”I like Tori and you?”
Skye ~”I like Candice.”
Damon ~”Which one do you think Brody would like?”
Skye ~”I don’t know. They are both nice girls and they are ready to settle.”
Damon ~”Baby how do we set him up with three girls in three months. He has to be married before his birthday. We only have two months because he is going to need at least one month to plan the wedding, which means we maybe even have less than two months.”
Skye ~”Well we are just going to have to choose one of them. We sort of have kind of an idea what type of woman he likes.”
Damon ~”What if we all go to the cabin again? We can take the girl with.”
Skye ~”That would be the perfect place for them to get to know each other.”
Damon ~”Now how do we pick a girl?”
Skye ~”Lucky I know just as much on how to look for something as what I know how to post something.”
Damon ~”So you can find them the same place you uploaded all those silly photos?”
Skye ~”I am not just a pretty face. I am a lot more than just this.”
Damon ~”Why don’t you show me what else you are?”
Skye ~”Baby concentrate.”
Damon ~”Baby I am horny.”
Skye ~”Well baby you can wait.”
Damon ~”Baby that is mean.”
Skye ~”What is mean is if you ain’t going to get any.”
Damon ~”So does it mean that I am?”
Skye ~”The quicker we can figure this out, the quicker you can find out.”
She wants to see Brody getting what he has been working so hard for. Yes his mom is wrong in forcing him to get married but we all know that it is something he longs himself for. So we just have to speed up the process a bit and play around with who can be a possible wife for him. We know the kind of women he likes and the kind of wife that he needs. It is really simple, we pick the girl and he just need to fall in love with her. Yes we know that we are gambling with love again.
Skye ~”Okay here is another photo of Chloe. I don’t see anything funny about her on here. She is an only child. Both her parents are still alive. She is busy studying law. She is your typical down to earth girl. She is shy and is a very quiet person that, she enjoys spending time at home.”
Damon ~”How the fuck do you get all of that off there?”
Skye ~”For a guy that runs a tech company, you surely know nothing.”
Damon ~”Baby I don’t give a shit about these stupid websites, I have never needed to use them.”
Skye ~”Well normal girls like we do.”
Damon ~”Did you find the other two girls?”
Skye ~”This is another photo of Tori. She is also squeaky clean. She has two brothers. Both her parents are dead. She has a degree in marketing but is passionate about photography. She is vibrant and enjoys being out and about. She has a very bubbly personality.”
Damon ~”And Candice?”
Skye ~”Candice has an older brother and a younger sister. Her parents are divorced. She currently does modelling but is studying to become a psychologist. She is your typical hopeless romantic and is looking for the right man to settle down.”
Damon ~”Fuck baby that is not making it any easier.”
Skye ~”I know, they all sound like amazing girls but we can only pick one, we don’t have time to play around.”
Damon ~”Who are we going to pick?”
