She stumbled out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes and yawning as she headed towards the coffee pot. “Hey, babe, I hope I didn’t wake you,” I smiled. She poured some coffee and sat down next to me. I leaned over and ran my finger over her lips before kissing them good morning. I told her how I needed to fly back to California today for the meeting tomorrow morning, and that I wanted her to come home with me. She was unsure if she could because of her treatment. I explained to her that it didn’t matter, and that we’d be back here for her second treatment next month. She threw her arms around me in excitement, especially when I told her that she would be living with me at the Penthouse. I took the coffee cup from her hands and set it down on the table. I grabbed her and pulled her onto my lap as I lifted up her nightshirt, threw it on the floor, and made love to her.I was in the bathroom shaving while Steph was still in the shower. I could smell the lilac scented body wash that she was
“Please tell me that you aren’t mad,” I said as I held my hands up.“I’m not mad; I just want to know why,” she asked softly.“Look at them, Steph. They’re beautiful. It was my way of being close to you when you weren’t around and helping out because yu needed money but didn’t want to rely on my help” I was afraid she was going to be angry with me, but she wasn’t. She walked over to me and hugged me tight, thanking me and telling me how much it meant to her.She walked over to my bed and slightly giggled.“What’s so funny?” I asked.“memories, I mean those memories on this very bed, the bed where you taught me, made love to me, make promises to me” she said,I smiled as I laid myself on the bed and spread out.“What are you doing?” she laughed.“I don’t remember any of that maybe you should remind me how I taught you back then mybe I will remember.”Steph smile and bit her bottom lip as she pulled her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor.“Um, I don’t think you did that,” I s
“ Did my son come looking for you? She asked.“ We met again after five years that I found my way back to the US, we never forgot each other and at that moment we knew our love story was written from heaven” I left them wen I knew they got along so well, I return to camden after a while Steph sat down on the floor next to me and Camden, and asked if she could help stack the blocks. Camden picked one up and handed it to her. Watching her interact with him told me she would make a wonderful mother.How and when was I going to tell her that I can’t have kids?When it was time to leave, we said our goodbyes to my family and started on the road back home.“I can’t believe your mother would give me a big hug like that ater finding out about me,” Steph said as she grabbed my hand.“You are no more that girl again and my mom is such a wonerful woman, Everyone in my family accepted you,” I smiled as I brought her hand to my lips.“Do you really think so?” she asked nervously.“Baby, I don’t th
So I sent her the following reply: “I agree, and when you stop behaving like a selfish child, call me so we can talk like adults.”She didn’t respond after that. I closed my eyes to try and stop the tears from falling. I slammed my fists down on the dresser and walked downstairs to the kitchen.“Good morning, Dean. Will you and Steph be having breakfast together this morning?” Claire asked.“Steph isn’t here, so the answer is no,” I snapped.“Whoa, DEan, calm down,” Dan said as he walked towards me.I ran my hand through my hair. “Claire, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me,” I begged.“It’s ok, Dean. Don’t worry about it,” she smiled.“What the hell happened between the two of you now?” Dan asked as he handed me a cup of coffee.“I told her last night that I can’t have kids, and she didn’t take it very well. We both said some pretty bad things to each other. Fuck, Dan, I love her so damn much. Why is this so hard?”“Nobody said love is easy,” he smiled.I shook my head and walked out of
I paced back and forth across the room while running my hands through my hair. “Ashlyn is Amanda’s step sister.”“Who the hell is Amanda?” she asked.I took in a sharp breath. “Amanda’s the girl who committed suicide after I broke up with her.”“Keep talking, Dean and I need to know which of them?; I’m listening.”“Ashlyn sought me out and came to my office about a year ago. She told me she had been kicked out of her house, and she didn’t have any money or any place to go. She said that I owed her because it was my fault her sister killed herself.” I stood there and watched Steph close her eyes for a moment.This was so hard for her to hear, and it was making me sick to tell her.“Few months before you arrived, I decided to start a relationship with her but you are there in my head and I realized no one but you” I said as I stood there, shaking my head in shame.“You told me all of this before, Dean, I just want to know after you ended it with her why she is here?” she asked as she go
The next few days had passed by slowly as I worked from home. Cassidy called to tell me that she and Camden were in the city for a doctor’s appointment and then they were going shopping. I told her to come by when she was done, and I’d take them to dinner. I set my phone down on my desk and headed to the kitchen for a bottle of water. As I was coming back to my office, I heard my phone ringing. By the time I got back to my desk, it stopped. I picked it up and looked at it. My heart stopped when it said that I had a missed call from Steph. She left a voicemail. I pressed the listen button and closed my eyes when I heard the voice that I had been missing.“Hi, Dean, it’s Steph. I just called to see how you’re doing and how things are going. I guess you’re busy, so I’ll talk to you soon; bye.” She was reaching out to me. I dialed her number and waited impatiently for her to answer.“Hello?” she answered.“Hey, Steph, I just got your message,” I said in a low voice.“Hi, Dean, I was just
“Is your crazy girlfriend here with you?” she asked as she looked around.“No, she isn’t,” I responded as I couldn’t help but stare at the bruise on her face.“I just want to apologize for saying and doing what I did. I have issues, Dean, and I feel like I’m heading down a bad road. But I am seeing a therapist, and I’m going to get my life straightened out.”I actually felt sorry for her at that moment. “You do realize that you can no longer work for my company, right?” I said.“I know, and I just handed in my letter of resignation today. I asked Phil not to tell you because I wanted to do that myself.”“I’m also stopping your monthly payments, but I will pay for your therapy. It’s the least I can do since you’re seeking help.”“Thank you, Dean,” she smiled. She started to walk away and then turned around. “Tell Steph I’m sorry and that she’s a lucky woman to have someone like you to love her.” I smiled and nodded my head, and then she was gone. I felt like a weight had been lifted of
“You have no right!” she spat.My angered eyes turned and looked at her. “I have no right? What the hell do you think you were doing in there? Were you trying to get yourself raped? Look at you, and the way you’re dressed, you’re just asking for it.”She flipped out and started hitting me in the chest. “Fuck you, Dean!” she screamed as she proceeded to beat on me.Mason grabbed her arms as I grabbed her wrists, trying to calm her down. The cab pulled up to the apartment building. Mason and I got out, and Steph sat there with her arms folded.“Get out of the cab now!” I yelled. She glared at me and then flipped me off.“Real mature, Steph,” I said as I leaned into the cab, grabbed her arm, and pulled her out. I threw her over my shoulder and carried her straight to the bedroom, throwing her on the bed. I paced back and forth across the room while running my hands through my hair, trying to calm down.“I can’t believe you, Steph. I came here tonight to surprise you, and I find you dry h
