Bruno stood with her and went to answer he set her down on the edge of the desk.”I thought I told you I don’t wanna be disturbed.”
“Sorry Mr Romero but Miss Hernandez is here and she refuses to leave until she’s seen you.”Miss Hernandez. Sage wonder who is that.
She heard Bruno’s irritated scowl.”I’ll be right there.”He said cutting the call.
“Miss Hernandez.”Sage repeated.
“It’s Lana.”He said.”Do you mind?”
“No.”She said, moving away from him.
“Don’t.”He said.”She means nothing Sage if I don’t go she’ll cause a scene.”
“It’s okay Bruno you don’t have to explain anything.”
“I don’t want you to think…”
“I understand that you have a past. You slept with her.”The question sounded more like an accusation.
“We had a brief affair.”Sage wonder how many more there are.
“Clearly for her it wasn’t anything brief if she still wants you. Same with Victoria, I’m even afraid of how many more will pop up. How many women out there hates me, what other surprises is in store.”
“Listen to me.”He cupped her face between his hands.”I don’t want any other woman except for you. Yes I had many affairs but it didn’t mean anything or else I won’t marry you, I would be marrying one of them. You mean more to me than I ever thought possible and I don’t want you to doubt your place in my life.”Did Maya also didn’t mean anything she almost asked.”Give me a sec to sort this out.”Sage nodded her head and watched as he left, Lana hasn’t been friendly towards her from day one and ever since her engagement to Bruno she’s been shooting daggers at Sage. Bruno was gone for a few minutes one look at his face tells Sage their conversation hadn’t been a smooth one.
“Everything alright.”She asked.
He nodded.”Shall we eat, I have another appointment soon.”Now she definitely knows it didn’t end well, she followed him. What was suppose to be a delicous lunch between them got ruined by Lana Sage wasn’t even enjoying her meal. “How did your appointment went.”
“Okay.”She replied.”Everything came back clear.”
“Good. We’ll be meeting Liam and Logan’s doctor next week I already ask my assistant to book an appointment. This paediatrician is the best. If you like we can get you your own personal doctor too.”
“No Bruno it’s okay. What you’ve done so far is more than enough. I rarely get sick as long as you and the boys are fine…”Sage stopped when she heard herself, he didn’t say anything and she was glad, she’d accidently slipped up and told him she cares something she shouldn’t have done. After lunch he offered to take her home but she decline Jorge took her back to her apartment.
Kim stopped by to see her along with Casey her sister.”I only came to congratulate you in person.”Casey told her.”I’m leaving today.”
“Going to visit your parents.”Sage asked.
“Yes they saying I don’t visist anymore, school has been keeping me busy it’s exam time but I’m done don’t worry though I’ll be in time for wedding of the year.”Sage smiled.”You and my sister scored some pretty eye candy hunks I wish I can find me such a good looking guy.”
“Hang in there he’ll come.”Sage said.
“Patience isn’t one of her virtues.”Kim said.
“Looks isn’t everything. What matters is if he loves you or not.”Sage said.
“Easy for you to say because you’ve got the whole package, the looks and the brains. Bruno is one man I wouldn’t mind having for a night I’ve never met or seen such a sexy man the day you get tired of him don’t be afraid to throw him in my direction.”Sage laughed.”All the women is gonna hate and envy you for taking him away be prepared to go to war.”She’s already in a war with one of his exes.”Ladies I have to go.”She hugged and kissed them both before going.
“How is everything?”Kim asked.”The wedding I mean, do you need any help.”
“All I need is for you to be there and be my bridesmaid.”
“I’d love to. Although you gonna have to tell Gina I don’t want any trouble.”
“Don’t worry we already spoke when Sean was here before I even asked she demanded to be my chief’s bridemaids.”
“That’s how I know Gina.”Kim said.”I’m happy you decided to give your and Bruno’s relationship a chance. You look happy.”
“For the first time in my life I am.”She said.”At the same time everything feels so unreal that I might wake up tomorrow and discover it had all been a dream. I have so many fears about marrying Bruno, I’m asking myself if I’m doing the right thing is he the right man for me. Will he get tired of me, will this marriage work are we meant for each other. So many questions. He hasn’t even told me about him and Maya that too makes me have doubts and question myself.”
“I’m sure he will. Don’t over think everything. He’s marrying you that’s what important.”
“Is it really. I can’t even bring myself to tell him the truth about my mother.”
“That isn’t your fault Sage.”Kim said.”You’ve got nothing to feel ashamed about.”
“She would be proud of me, I manage to do something she couldn’t. Marrying a wealthy man, how different are we from each other, she sold herself to live this lifestyle and I..”
“You better than that and you know it.”Kim cut over her.”You love Bruno, the two of you have something special don’t cheapen that.”
“What if he thinks I’m no different than her, what if he believes me marrying him has been my plan all along. To trap him so I could too have a life of comfort, falling for him was never suppose to happen but I did and hard too.”
Kim moved closer to give her friend a hug.”What you need is a break from everything we don’t need the bride to be being so emotional and stressed out.”
“I wish I had the money for a vacation.”Sage said.
“It will be my treat.”Kim told her.”A weekend away from the boys and Bruno and everything else would do you good.”
“Not from my boys.”Sage said.
“Especially them. You need some time to yourself Sage, away from everyone. A girls weekend away we can invite Gina.”
“Fine. I’ll talk to Bruno see if he doesn’t mind in being alone with the boys for a weekend but I know Margarita will spoil them so much they won’t even notice I’m gone.”
“Let me go and make arrangements. We’ll talk soon. Kiss the boys for me.”
“Where are we going?”She asked.
“Somewhere no one will find us.”Kim said walking to door.”I’ll call you.”
You mean more to me than I ever thought possible.. I don’t want you to doubt your place in my life.. Bruno’s words came into her thoughts a while later when she was done bathing the boys for the night. What does she actually mean to him. What place does she have in his life? How important is she to him, if she’s even important to him.”I hope I won’t regret marrying your daddy?”She softly said covering Liam with his blanket before going on to do the same with Logan.”Love is a beautiful thing but it can also cause pain and hurt us badly. Your daddy had been right when he had said that.”She switched of the lights except for the lamps that was on each side of them.
She hasn’t spoken to Bruno since she left his office she was also hesitant to call him, what will she say. I made dinner and was wondering if you’re gonna come over, should I wait for you. What will he think of her. She made food but Sage knew it would be pointless she’s gotten so used to eating with Bruno that now it feels empty maybe she should just go and bath, she made sure to lock the door this time a second later a knock came from the door, it must be Bruno she told herself surely enough it was him and he was still wearing the same suit of this afternoon meaning he hasn’t went home to change.
“Margarita told me you took the boys and left. Why?”He asked, shrugging off his jacket and carelessly throwing it on the couch, she went to pick it up and neatly hung it properly.”I thought you were spending the night at home.”
Home? Sage thought.”I just wanna be in my own space after the last couple of days events. In seven weeks I’ll be moving in with you.”
