If she had been that important or he had loved her then how come she never wore this necklace and why hasn’t he given it to her instead. No other woman has ever worn that cross other than you.. She’s been given a chance to have her own family to give the boys a loving home it’s time she stops trying to run away from it and live her life… with Bruno and their sons. He makes her happy why deny herself an opportunity to be happy with the man she loves….
Sage was coming out of the shower when she heard her cell rang in the bedroom it was Kim.”Hey. Where are you I’ve been at your apartment but you not there.”
She’s been at Bruno’s for the past three days he hasn’t come back from his trip the very same day after their phone call she had called Jorge to come and pick them up since then they’ve been at Bruno’s Margarita is having a fun time with the boys.”I’m at Bruno’s.”Sage said.”Did you need anything.”
“No I only came to tell you that everything’s been booked for next weekend Gina will arrive a day before I also invited Camilla, her sister and Maya too I hope you won’t mind that they coming along too.”
“No I don’t Kim they’ll be my new family soon I’ll have to get to know them one way or the other.”
“Why are you at Bruno’s I thought you’ll be only moving in after the wedding.”
“I will. Bruno asked we stay here until he comes back.”She was missing him terribly since their phone call they haven’t spoken again.
“Do you need any company.”Kim asked.”I’ll stop by with some take aways.”
“I won’t say no. Please get me a burger with chips.”Kim laughed.”I’m dying to have one let them add a little hot sauce and extra cheese.”
“Are you trying to get fat before your big day.”
“No I’m just hungry. Besides some morning exercises and my daily routine yoga should cover whatever pounds I’ll gain.”
“I cannot remember the last time I did yoga maybe we can go together to yoga classes.”
“I wouldn’t say no it helps me when I’m stressed out or thinking alot. Name time and place and I’ll be there.”
“Great. Let me hang up so I can get your burger. Send me the address of where you and your beloved are staying.”
“Okay. See you now now.”Sage send her the details and went to finish up dressing. Kim called again when she was at the gate, security didn’t want her to come in without clear authorisation from her, Sage told them to let her through
“Security here is extremely tight.”Kim said after they greeted each other.”I had to provide identification my reason for coming here and whom I was seeing, which house I was coming to. One would swear I’m about to open up a bank account with all the details they wanted but one’s safety can never be negotiated at least the place is secure.”
“Sorry for all the trouble you went through I should’ve let them know you’re coming.”Sage said.
“It’s okay, I love the house by the way it’s beautiful and big too enough room for the boys to run around in when they gonna be older. Is that Bruno’s parents.”Sage looked at the portrait in the family room on the wall above the fireplace.
“Yes it is.”Sage answered.
“His mother had been a beautiful woman.”Absently Sage touched the necklace around her neck.
“Yes she had been.”She agreed.”Very beautiful.”
“Well I brought you your burger with extra cheese and hot sauce I managed to get your favourite too a vanilla milkshake.”
A huge smile spread across Sage’s face.”You the best, I owe you for this.”
“I’m the one pregnant yet you’re the one with all the cravings. Any news you wish to share.”
Sage bit into her burger before answering.”No and there won’t be news to share for a long time.”
“Doesn’t Bruno want to have any kids. In future.”
“I don’t know and at this point I’m too afraid to ask just in case I’ll get my heart broken sometimes it’s best not to know.”
“Where are the boys.”Kim asked instead not wanting to upset her friend.
“With Margarita they seem to prefer her over me these days not that I’m complaining the time I have to myself is refreshing it also gives me a chance to concentrate on the wedding and take part in what’s going on.”
“Have you decided on your gown.”
Sage nodded and took a sip of her milkshake.”I’m working with a seamstress I’ll be meeting her tomorrow to discuss the final details regarding my gown.”
“The material.”
“Silk and lace.”Sage answered.”We’ll also add beaded pearls in.”
“I can’t wait to see it.”Kim said.”You gonna look so beautiful.”
“Despite everything deep down I’m glad he’s the man I’m marrying. He understands me without me having to browse my thoughts aloud, sometimes he
knows what I want even before I ask. It’s like he can read my mind whereas I can’t read a single thought of his.”
“Maybe he knows you too well more than you think.”
“I never thought I’d love anyone the way I do him, I tried to stop myself not to fall for him but I did it was unavoidable no matter what I did or how hard I tried I would’ve fallen for him anyway.”
“Embrace your love never lose hope that one day Bruno can love you.”
“I won’t.”She said.”Hope is something I’ll always have.”
“Sean is so happy for you one would think he’s getting married.”
“I know he also didn’t hide the fact that he likes and approves of Bruno as my future husband.”
“Them getting along is great. Talking of future husband where is Bruno.”
“Europe he’s been gone for three days.”Sage said.
“I can see you missing him.”Kim said, her only response was the nod of her head denying it won’t help and she’s tired of hiding away from what she feels for him he can never know her true feelings but she can be honest with herself
Kim spend the whole day with Sage she even stayed for dinner when Sage asked her to Luca will be working late that’s why Kim hadn’t mind to stay will Bruno frequently make such trips where they won’t see him for days on end if so Sage wonder if she’ll survive. This three days felt like a lifetime whereas before a day had never been this hard ever since Bruno came back into her life it’s a different story, just one day without him felt like forever. She helped Margarita put the boys to bed after their bath tonight they stayed up an hour late because they aunt Kim had been here luckily after their baths that’s when tiredness kicked in, she kissed them each and thank Margarita for helping her with them. Instead of going to bed she went to go make herself a cup of tea.
“Let me do that for you senora.”Margarita said.
Sage gave her a warm smile.”No Margarita you go to bed I’ll manage. I insist please.”Sage told her.”You’ve done more than enough for one day. Go get some rest.”
“Thank you senora. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight to you too.”She left and went to her quarters that’s out back, Sage took her tea and went to the living room where she sat and gazed out at the ocean, her thoughts constantly on Bruno and what he’s doing, if he’ll come back tonight or not is he thinking about her too. Sage sipped on her tea, this will be her new home soon their new home she took the light quilt that she brought with her and covered her legs, sleeping in that big bed alone is lonely without Bruno she laid down and closed her eyes hopefully tonight she’ll get some sleep.
Bruno knew she was here the second he’d opened the door there’s something about Sage that makes him aware of her even if she wasn’t in the room or around him, he was about to head upstairs when he saw her fast asleep on the living room couch slowly he went over to her, kneeling down he lightly brushed her cheek with the back of his hand, not being able to talk to her or see her over the last three days has made him realise how important she is to him, it’s more than lust it ran deeper than that and a small part of him is afraid to actually name what it is. He’s missed her, her body, her skin, her kisses, the way she touches him, the way she looks at him like nothing else matters to her except him. He loves everything about this woman he never expected for her to become such a big part of his life. Gently he scooped her up she stirred in his arms and buried her face in his neck.”Bruno..”She murmured.
“Yes it’s me beautiful.”He said, kissing the top of her head.”Go back to sleep.”
She snuggled closer her arms tighten around his neck.”I missed you.”Her words stirred something deep down inside him he felt it within his heart.
“I know you did beautiful.”He said heading for the stairs.”I missed you too.” Her silence told him she fell asleep again, he so badly wanted to feel her naked body next to his but it’s clear she looks exhausted. He laid her down on the bed and covered her, he was about to go when she grabbed his hand.
“Don’t go. Stay.”Her soft plea made him went back to her, his fingers went into her hair then it came to caress her cheek, Sage closed her eyes and leaned into his touch she gave a sigh of pleasure and covered his hand with her own before kissing it softly.”I missed your naked body against mine, the bed was so cold and empty without you.”
“I know the feeling sweetheart.”He groaned.”Let me take a shower first.”
“I don’t wanna wait a second longer to have you.”Sage surprised them both by pulling him onto her then she brought his head down for a deep passionate kiss what followed next was her making love to him, savouring every part of him kissing every single inch of his delectable body this time she took and he gave Sage bloomed under the power she has over him and his body, at least in this way she fully owns him they made love twice and still she wanted more of him her hunger and need is strong as ever. She gently brushed her smooth cheek against his five o’clock stubble loving the way his beard tickled her flesh.
“My passionate beauty.”He murmured close to her ear.”I missed having you in my arms.”
“Yes that’s why I have received five calls in a day from you.”
