Chapter 171
I had this dreadful feeling in the pit of my stomach the whole drive back to the house. I couldn't tell if it was guilt or what. I kept wondering if I should tell Shayla that I ran into Sophie or if I should let it be.
It's our date tonight, and I don't want to ruin that for us. I walk into the house, and my eyes search for Shayla. Sure enough, she pops her head out of the kitchen, grinning with what I'm hoping is chocolate smeared over her cheek and forehead. "Please, tell me that’s chocolate on your face." I chuckle as I walk toward the kitchen.
Shayla throws her head back and laughs. "I have a little over three months before you come home to me covered in shit, so you're safe for now, stud." She tells me with a grin and sucks the chocolate off her fingers with a satisfied moan.
I laugh and toss my keys on the side. "What are you doing?" I question, leaning on the island and watch her stirring melted chocolate in a saucepan on the stove.

After I come out of the shower, wrapping a towel lowly around my waist, I see Shayla walk into the bedroom. She stops when she sees me in just a towel wrapped loosely around my waist. Her eyes slowly skim over my wet torso, her head tilted to the side, a dreamy look in her eyes. I smirk and brush my fingers through my hair, deliberately flexing my muscles, and she bites her bottom lip.I stroll over to her, and Shayla blinks, snapping out of her stupor, looking at me when I hold her chin, tilting her head back a little to gaze deeply into her eyes. "Like what you see, sweetheart?" I drawl huskily. Shayla licks her lips, clearing her throat."I mean..." She breathes, swallowing hard. "It's not a bad sight to walk into."I smirk and lean in closer till our noses were touching. "Is that right?" I whisper, brushing the back of my fingers along her jaw. "You're not a bad sight yourself," I tell her, ghosting my lips over hers, and she sighs. Then, just as I'm about to ki
Accidentally Yours Chapter 173
If someone told me a year ago that I'd be living the life that I am now, I would have laughed in their faces.Had they said to me that I would fall out of my mind in love with a man, who would lose his memory a couple of months into our blissfully happy marriage, and forget I ever existed, I would have told them to have their head checked.Alas, that is my reality. I have to get my husband—who was already crazy about me— to fall back in love with me all over again, or at least make him remember that he did love me not too long ago.So, here I am, kissing said husband who seems to have forgotten me but is kissing me like he's never stopped.Completely in sync like we've always been. How can Cole say he doesn't remember me when he's kissing me with that same affection? The same urgency and need as he ever did.He's even doing that slow teasing lick on my tongue that he knows makes me mewl softly into his mouth.How does he know to do that if h

"Home." I finish for him, and he looks at me for a drawn-out moment and finally nods."Home," Cole repeats, staring into my eyes. "I'm starting to see why I was so fascinated with you." He declares as I rest my head in my hand and observe him."You are?"Cole nods, mimicking my action, and rests his head in his right hand while his left plays with my fingers. "I've never met anyone like you." I smile, holding his gaze. "I've said that to you before, haven't I?" He adds, his eyes narrowed, and I laugh a little, my cheeks aflame."Yes, many times. You said that the very first night we met." I answer, chewing on my lip. I drop my gaze from him to our hands, resting on top of the table."You're unquestionably different from the girls I'm used to being around. You're very kind, and you have this warmth about you." He explains, reaching up and brushing his fingers along my jaw. "I can't put into words what it does to me."I close my eyes, "Like th

As I had suspected, the following morning, we were both exhausted after only having three hours of sleep. I think I dozed off at my desk twice, unable to keep my eyes open.Cole wasn't much better. Of course, he could drink coffee--so he was at least getting some aid to stay up, whereas I didn't have anything but some caffeine-free tea, which makes my stomach turn at the mere thought of it.I don't know how we managed to get through the day, but we did.On Friday night, we had Josh and Aimee over for dinner. I hadn't seen the girls in over a week, and I missed them terribly, but Jo was away with Sam meeting her parents."So, how are things between the two of you?" Aimee asks as we prepare the table for dinner. I smile and glance over at Cole, who was in the living room, watching a football match with Josh."We're getting there, I think. Our date was incredible...we felt like us again. Albeit, it's very hit-and-miss with him at the moment. One day he's all

I stare at the phone, motionless for a moment until I lift my gaze to Cole, who looks at the phone and then at me. That's who he's been texting all day. Sophie. Aimee and Josh exchange glances before they look back at Cole, and I stare at each other. I push my seat away from the table. "Excuse me," I whisper. Standing from the table, I walk toward the stairs."Shayla," Cole calls my name and pushes his chair back as I near the stairs. I feel his hand on my arm, and I yank it out of his hold. "Shayla, let me explain."I look up at him, "Explain? There is no reason, nor an explanation feasible enough to justify your ex-fiancée texting you." I tell him and swallow the lump forming in my throat."I ran into her at the hospital a couple of days ago. I didn't go looking for her--she was just there." He tells me, and I brush my fingers through my hair. "She told me she lost her baby after everything that happened between us. She was upset and needed someone to talk to,

"Josh!"I halt before I walk out of the door and look back when I hear Aimee scream for him. Josh looks back, and we both watch as Shayla collapses into Aimee's arms, holding her abdomen. Josh lets go of my arm and runs over to her, falling to his knees beside her."Shayla, hey, what is it?" He asks, watching her concerned while she cries out in pain."The baby," She whimpers. "Something's wrong.""Okay, don't panic, we're going to the hospital. Come here." Josh says, helping her up to her feet, and she hisses, clutching her stomach and shaking her head."Josh...." Aimee whispers, holding up her hand, her fingers covered in blood. "She's bleeding." Josh and Aimee both look over at me as I stood watching, utterly frozen.Shayla's wide eyes stare down at the blood on Aimee's fingers and gasps. "No, no, no. NO!" She screams, crying hysterically while Aimee wraps her arms around Shayla to soothe her."What the fuck have you done..." Josh

I shake my head and stare at the ground, unable to hold his gaze. "Josh. When I saw the state of her, my heart wouldn't...”"Your heart what?! It hurt, did it?" Josh hisses through clenched teeth, grabbing me, he slams me hard against the wall again. "Imagine what she's feeling right now, you fucking prick!" He shouts, and I lift my gaze to his stormy ones."I don't know what the fuck happened to you in that accident, but this version of you is truly despicable. This isn't you, Cole. You woke up a different fucking person because my best mate would die before he ever thought about uttering those words to that girl in there. You were willing to die for her, Cole. When you found out she was dating me, you thought you lost her; you fucking flipped and wanted to die. That's how crazy you were about that girl in there. What the hell happened to you?"My vision blurs, and I feel my chest constrict painfully. "I pray you don't get your memory back because if you do, yo

Once Josh comes back, they wheel me down to the neurology department. Doctor Bennet comes in as they prepare me for the scan. "Cole, what's happened, son?"I lift my eyes to him and stare vacantly. "I feel like someone is driving a knife into my brain. Please make it stop. I can't take it. My head feels like it's about to implode.""All right, let's take a look, and we can give you something for the pain." I nod and close my eyes, leaning forward. I feel another surge of panic when my chest gets all tight again."I want you to have my babies...""Cole, hey, take some deep breaths for me, son." Doctor Bennet instructs as he lays me down on the table. And I try, I do, but each breath I took hurt so fucking much. "Stay still for me, okay? It will be over in a couple of minutes." I hear him say as he walks out of the room, and the table starts to move until my head was inside the machine.What was happening to me?The machine's groans make my headac
