In a couple of months from now I will. He gazed at my stomach. If I didn’t know any better. He pulled me into his arms. Miss Daniels wants her last name changed.
Just because we have our baby doesn’t mean you’ll stay and vice versa, I’m not trying to trap you.. if that makes sense. I placed my hand over his chest.
I love you. He leant down so we were eye level. I’m not going anywhere unless you ask.
I wouldn’t hold your breath. A cheeky smile was forming on my lips. And I love you too Mr Hale. I initiate the kiss, which took him by surprise and he grinned, placing his hand over my cheek, but it was short lived.
Get a room. We heard and I broke away to see my sister sitting in a love seat not too far away from us, with her phone. Yeah I’ve mastered being silent in situations like these, and I was growing uncomfortable.
Sorry. And I meant it. Do you want to watch a movie or something ? I didn’t realize she was by herself in the house since she didn’t have anybody to talk to expect my parents and me.
Sure. She sat up. But I don’t know where anything is in this house.
The movie theater is upstairs, down the hall to the right. Landon chimed in.
I don’t suppose you have a younger brother ? She asked, standing up to walk closer.
Sadly I am the younger brother, my oldest one is currently making out with her best friend.
She smacked her lips before huffing. Dang it.
Let’s go before you ask him does he have a cousin. I looped my arm around hers and her eyes widen at the idea.
Does he ? She whispered to me and I rolled my eyes, heading up the stairs with my little sister trying to play matchmaker.
She picked out the movie and we both sat in the plush soft sits and ten minutes in, I went to sleep with my head on her shoulder.
I think it’s a side effect, I’ve watched two movies and she’s still sleep. I heard my sister whispering to someone and I groaned before snuggling closer into the seat.
Babe. I heard a soothing voice invade my thoughts. It’s time to go. He patted my back twice before rubbing. Don’t make tickle you.
You wouldn’t. I yawned, my eyes still closed. I’m up. I added after feeling his fingers start to tickle me. Give me a sec.
Sitting up, I moaned feeling my bones crack at the unholy angle I had put myself in. What time is it ?
Almost eleven.
Eleven ?! I was sleep for that long ? Did everyone leave ?
Regina and Liam left almost an hour ago and our parents are still downstairs, I think your mother is making me pay for their hotel.
That’s my mother for ya. I chuckled.
I mean he’s good for it anyway. Marie shrugged her shoulders.
Money isn’t everything Marie. I told her.
It pays bills doesn’t it ?
She’s got a point. He agreed with her We’re about to head out. Landon tells them and they both nod.
Giving them all a hug, we all said our goodbyes before Landon and I went to the car. Sleep, I’ll wake you when we get the house.
I’m not even tired.. I slumped into the seat, securing my seatbelt around me.
Hey. I felt his hand brush over my face lightly and I stirred, before jointing realizing I did in fact go to sleep.
Landon had the door open and he bends to pick me up. I can walk. I mumble, still half sleep.
He doesn’t put me down and I don’t stop him, resting my head against his shoulder, my heels in my hand.
I felt myself being lowered down and I touch silk and I know I’m in bed. I dropped my heels not caring , where they go at the moment.
Sit up for me. I hear Landon try to make me comply and I groaned into the pillow not wanting to.
Please. He pulls my dress up and removes it and I’m about to fall back down onto the bed but he keeps me up. Arms up. He ordered and I raised them, and he puts one of his shirts on me.
Thank you. Could you hand me my bag ? I ask him and he goes over to it and he brings it to me.
Grabbing my wipes to remove my makeup, he tries to help me but he’s already done enough for me in my books for tonight.
While I busy myself with that, he undresses himself to his boxers and he slides into bed with me. Wrapping his arm around me when I’m done.
Goodnight. I yawn, pressing myself closer to him.
This is home..
Landon POV :
When Embre’s Dad asked to speak to me, I’ve never felt my hands fill up with sweat like I just had gotten done boxing, but it did.
I even called him Sir.
Sit please. Well that’s a good start.. I think.
Taking a seat right across from Embre’s Dad and I tried to remain eye contact with him but it’s becoming harder by the second as he sized me up.
So you love my daughter ? He questioned, rubbing his hands together and I could almost hear the faint sounds of his knuckles cracking and I sit up straighter.
Yes I do. Hitting the nail right on the head.
Where did you meet my daughter ? He asked and I remember that very day when I spotted her, she seemed so out of place and when her eyes connected with mine I was instantly drawn to her. So when she literally ran out, I knew I had to see her again. And I found out that way was for me to hire people and there she was.
But it was in a club.. my Club.
Well to be honest, a club. I knew that caught his attention. But I didn’t seek her out in the way you think, yes I meet her in my Club-
That makes it better. His voice was laced with sacarsm.
No, she expressed to me that she needed a job.. before she ran out on me of course.
She ran ?
Yes sir.
That’s my girl. He gloated. Continue.
Well, I found myself caring.. which was a first. And I knew the only way I could find her again was to say that I was hiring people and I needed a new assistant anyway.
So you fired your last one. He said it more as a statement.
No.
Yes.
He gave me a pointed look and I sighed in defeat. Yes I did, but if it helps I have her the job as an assistant. We both shared a laugh at my selfishness.
You my friend are ruthless. He commented.
The air seemed to loosen up around us and I was satisfied to know the aroma was calming. When I met your daughter is when she walked into my office and I saw her again. I sat back. When I saw her at the Club she looked sort of.. out of place. Like she didn’t mingle well with others and when I introduced myself, it was almost like a act to seem like she belonged, but when I saw her again I met the real her.
I seemed to have snapped out of my daze as I came back to reality of who I was speaking to. That’s real sweet son.. but she’s pregnant. And just like that the air filled with tension.
I was going to ask you a very important question sir. And this time he raises both of his eyebrows, leaning forward. Before I could even release a word..
You want to marry her. He already knew my question. Love is a strange thing isn’t it ? He asked before sitting back and crossing his foot over the other.
Well I’ve only fell for one person.
Oh boy, I wish I could say the same. He sighed, shaking his head as if trying to get rid of a memory gone bad. Looks like I made the right choice. His eyes shifted to the door we had came from and I could tell he was referring to his wife.
Yes sir.
Oh stop with that, I know I’m old. He grumbled.
My apologies.
You talk so formal. If only you knew.
Well I try, I kind of have to be. I added in, fixing my cuff.
Back to the topic. He rests his hand against the armrest. You are asking for my blessing ?
Yes.
You’re not doing this just because she’s pregnant right ?
I was going to do it regardless of the fact that she is pregnant with our baby. I had already been planning.
Well then yes, you have my blessing, but just know if you hurt my daughter-and I hear about it, I will be back. He rose to his feet before lifting his hand.
I shook his firm hand. Wasn’t excepting anything less sir, and I wouldn’t hurt her intentionally.
Son just from my observation you seem to be holding onto something and I don’t know what that something is but from man to man, everyone has a past.. it’s what you chose to do with it, you either sink or sail, and I would choose to sail than sink.
That reminded me of Embre, she was very observant before reacting and I was the complete opposite. But I had already made my decision to sail.
We leave the room and he walks off in the opposite direction from where I was headed, probably to find his wife, and I do the same.
*A week later*
I woke up before her-like usual- and I knew she would be in bed more often and it didn’t bother me.
Today was the day that I would officially ask her to marry me, being nervous was an understatement to how I felt.
It didn’t take me long to get ready before I called up to my building complex. This is Miss Vickerson, how may I help you today ?
