I look at him not not sure what to say. | 1 |
I wiped away the tears threatening to fall down my face and tried to find the game room. I heard Kade talking with someone and attempted to follow the voices."Beat you again!" I heard Kade say.I turned the corner and found Kade talking with an older gentleman."Lena!" Kade said jumping into my arms."Hey buddy.""This is Lucas. He's my new friend.""Miss. Winters, pleasure to officially meet you. I am Mr. Matthews' driver. I drove you home the other night.""Please call me Elena. Thank you for watching Kade," I say while messing up Kade's hair."He is a great kid. Would you like to see your room Mr. Kade," Lucas said to Kade
Brian took me to a nice outside restaurant down the road from NC Records. We were quickly seated outside and a waitress took our order as soon as we sat down barely paying any attention to myself."And for you sir?" The waitress said batting her eyelashes at Brian.Brian said his order reading off the menu paying her no mind.1She walked away swaying her hips more than necessary."Everywhere we go someone tries to flirt with you," I tell Brian."Who is jealous now, Mrs. Winters?"1"Oh, I am not jealous. I am just stating the facts. However, you actually were extremely jealous of Jackson.""Jackson?" Brian said looking puzzled."The
My eyes gently fluttered open to an empty spot beside me. I looked over at my alarm clock. It was 8:26. I knew Brian was already home from work and would want to talk with me. However, I'm not sure I want to talk with him right now. I stood up from my bed and stretched. I walked to Kade's room and seen him in Brian's arms. Brian was swaying back and forth as if he was putting Kade to sleep. I looked at the two of them with an awe. I never knew Brian was so good with children. Kade eventually fell asleep and Brian sat him into his bed, tucked him in, and placed a slight kiss on his forehead."I promise to give you and your sister the best life that I can," I heard him whisper as he pushed Kade's hair out of his eyes.Brian stood up and went to walk toward the door. I quickly walked back to my room and laid down on the bed. I'm not sure if I want to face Brian just yet. He is so confusing at times. One minute he is the perfect gu
Brian and I hung around the house all morning Wednesday just getting to know each other. I had my head on one end of the couch facing him."Will you tell me about your sister?" I asked looking at Brian."Carly is great," he said smiling, "she always kept me on my toes. It's been just the two of us for the past six years. We got really close once.... Well you know.... happened. She was ten. She didn't feel the loss like I did. Loosing your twin is like seeing yourself pass. That could had been me. I should've been the one that-""Brian," I stopped him, "don't say that. You are here for a reason. You're supposed to be here."I sat up and moved closer to Brian."Do you want to talk about him?" I asked placing my hand over his."Not yet.""Want to tell me more about Carly?"He smiled and be
Brian quickly moved to my side."Sweetie, Kade is fine. He is insisting that I call you and see if he could spend the night."1"Oh. Okay. Yeah, Mrs. Smith. That is fine."Kade had stayed over at her apartment plenty of times."Okay sweetie. See you tomorrow."I hung up the phone and placed it back in my pocket."Is he okay? Where's Kade?" Brian said looking frazzled."He's fine. He just wanted to stay the night with Mrs. Smith.""Thank God. How about we go out tonight? Just you and me. We could see a movie or get some food.""Brian, you have a huge tv down stairs. Couldn't we just watch a movie there?""If that's what you want then yes.""I think I'm going to
Last night I agreed to go to a business dinner with Brian tomorrow. He scheduled me a fitting at one of the nicest dress boutiques in the area. After four dreadful hours I found one that I actually liked. The dress would be sent to Brian's house tomorrow. I picked Kade up from Mrs. Smith's and he was currently in the game room playing any game he could get his hands on. He was very excited to stay with Mrs. Smith next week. I'm not going to lie. I am going to miss him terribly. We have never been away for this long. I know he is in good hands and that eases my anxiety a little.Tomorrow will be interesting.-------"Lena," I was awoke by the tiny hands of my brother."Yes Kade," I said sleepily"Mrs. Smith."I stand up and get ready to take him to his favorite place. Once he is dropped off I have two hours to get ready before Brian w
I woke up alone. I stood up and looked in the mirror. My eyes were red and swollen from crying. Kade was still at Mrs. Smith's. I knew I had to go get him, even if he had to see me like this. I walked into the kitchen and seen a note on the counter."LenaI went to get Kade from Mrs. Smith's apartment. After the night I put you through you deserve to rest. I'm going to take Kade out for breakfast and then the three of us can spend the day together. Be ready when we get there.Brian"I guess I need to get ready.------Once I get ready I go into the living room and sit on the couch."Lena!" I heard coming from my little brother."Hey buddy! I missed you," I said taking Kade into my arms.Kade hugged me tight and quickly pulled away."I have
My eyes slowly fluttered open. I feel someone's arms wrapped around my torso and I slowly begin remembering last nights events. I looked up and seen Brian's sleeping face. His eyes softly opened."Morning beautiful," he said smiling at me."Morning.""That's the best sleep I have ever had," he said pulling me tightly into his arms."Me too," I chuckled.Brian pecked my forehead and stood up."Today is the day you meet my parents. Are you excited?""No," I said flinging the covers over my head, "tell them I'm dead."9"Lena, it won't be that bad."I got up from the bed."Yes it will. They will see right through this. They will probably think I'm some sort of gold
