The alarm went off at seven and I rolled out of bed. I had started getting used to moving much slower than usual as my belly started to grow. Saterday had literally jumped up on me,the three days went by so quick, I didn't have time to prepare myself mentally. Every day for the last three days, Tyler reminded me of this day. It has become like a chant. In the past three days my coffee just got more pathetic and he still drank it .I had a warm shower and dressed into some comfortable clothes as he had told me. He asked me not to have breakfast so I sat and stared at myself in the mirror for a while, trying to figure out what to do with my long, brown hair. I still had twenty minutes before he would arrive and I spent all twenty minutes, braiding, twisting, tying and plaiting my hair. I eventually settled on a high ponytail once I heard him hooter outside. My heart was beating so fast ,I thought it would pop out of my chest. It felt nice to just be a normal girl, amongst humans in th
I dug into the lamb shank, sucking the juice out of the bones. The pregnancy had made me a savage. I sucked my fingers, watching Tyler cut up his food elegantly with the fork and knife.It made me think of the childhood movie that I had watched. Beauty and the beast, and I was the beast.He smiled and fed me a piece of his bacon and avocado wrap. I had already eaten more than half of the food from the picnic bag.I took a slice of cake and devoured a big bite. Picking up a napkin, Tyler wiped the chocolate from my cheek. I really felt like a clumsy dummy.Here in front of me was this rich,powerful,well groomed man, and then there was me. A country girl with no table manners. Tyler smiled and picked up a piece of cake, shoving the entire slice in his mouth.I erupted with laughter as the entire bottom of his face was messed.He tried licking it with his tongue," aren't you going to help me with this?"I picked up a tissue and wiped his face.Once it was clean I took a piece of cake
Looking around the bathroom,I could not find my clothing . In the place where my clothes were kept now had a yellow sun dress, a yellow and silver flat sandal and a straw sunhat with a big yellow sunflower." Tyler. I can't find my clothes " I shouted from the bathroom." I think someone has stolen it. Do they have another set of guests because I think she left her clothes here."" Is it a yellow sundress and hat?" Tyler replied from the other side of the door."Yes."" Then it's yours, Larna. I asked my personal assistant to have a change of clothes sent for you." Tyler said laughing." I can't believe you would think someone would steal clothes."" You should give a heads up next time." I said as I changed into the new clothes.I stepped out of the bathroom and it looked as if Tyler's jaw had dropped to the floor. I played with the bottom of the dress nervously."Wow. Larna. You look stunning. Like a yellow fairy." Tyler said as he held my hand." Shall we go. I am starving and you sho
I took a spoonful from each plate. Each dish had its own signature taste and to my surprise they were all equally satisfying." This isn't bad at all." Tyler slurped the gravy from the egg dumplings. " I expected it to be awful but it's actually the opposite." I commented truthfully ." Thank you Mr Smith." Andrea said as she cleared the table and disappeared back inside the restaurant.As my food digested I looked out at the bright orange sun in the sky. The red umbrella shielded us from its rays. Although it was hot, the breeze kept us cool under the shade.The garden was spectacular, something you would see in the movies.It had a large green hedge maze with red rose trimmings. A large fountain with a statue of a pregnant mother stood in the middle.Birds were bathing in the fountain, undisturbed.Butterflies fluttered by. It was so serene. The air was fresh and crisp. It was as if I had died and gone to heaven. It was peaceful.Soon Andrea was back with a trolley full of food. S
The sweet voice that flowed through the receiver sounded like an angel. I sat shocked just thinking that this was the same lady that was screaming her guts out at her employees a few minutes ago." Agnes. I hear your concerns. I have come to the resort today. You can meet me in the restaurant." Tyler said before disconnecting the call." And that was the same sweet voice she used in her telephonic interview. Unfortunately guys, I did not expect this. I am so sorry Larna, for ruining our date, with this work issue. " Tyler apologized." Actually, you have given me a day full of fun, excitement, and now some drama." I laughed.He pinched my cheek," You are a darling."As Agnes walked to towards the restaurant, Tyler stood up with his hands in his pockets. He looked devilishly handsome." Is this some sort of joke. You?" Agnes spat out. She was angry and bitter.She took out her phone and dialled .Tyler's phone began to ring and he picked it up and flashed it at her.I watched as the co
"You have a wife?" I pulled my hands out of his and backed up into the door.He looked at me , holding a serious expression on his face. " Larna, if you had known this, you wouldn't have agreed to go on a date with me.""Tyler, I thought you were different." I whispered l. My throat felt dry." It's not what you think. I met her a while back. We got married and then she ate a wild berry and is in a coma. She has three eyes and six hands." Tyler replied." What are you married to? A monster?" I asked. This was a joke. I hope it was because it's the most stupidest thing I have ever heard.Tyler laughed, he couldn't contain himself any longer. He laughed so hard , tears ran down his cheeks. " You should see your face."" Tyler ,that's not funny. I was about to jump of this car and start walking home."" I am sorry. I promise to never take a serious topic and make a joke out if it." He apologized so sincerely I could not help but forgive him and snuggle up to his warmth. He planted kisses
The next three months went by quickly. Tyler and I saw each other every day and we became inseparable. Last month he had thrown me a gender reveal party and invited my mom. He had won my mom over in less than thirty seconds.I felt truly blessed to have him in my life.Today he had booked me a special session at the spa. I had the most wonderful experience now that Andrea had taken over as the manager.Once the massage was over, I soaked myself in the jacuzzi for half an hour before heading to the bathroom for my clothes.I looked at the shelf where my clothes had been and they were replaced with an elegant evening dress. I picked it up and touched the gems on the front.It was a beautiful baby blue with a silver underlining. I rubbed the soft material against my cheek. It looked and felt expensive.Once I was dressed, I twirled in front of the mirror. My big baby bump was visible. Under the pleats and u admired it in the mirror. I wondered if this was a baby shower that he had planne
The big event that I had thought was a baby shower was actually my engagement. It would probably be the best memory in my life, other than the wedding." Have you two set a date for the wedding." my mom asked."Yes. The 27th of April." I replied excitedly." In a month's time?" She questioned."We want to be husband and wife before the baby arrives, so he can have my last name." Tyler replied as I browsed through wedding catalogues.My mom smiled and nodded as she looked through some catalogues.Tyler left us early and returned to work as we sat in the bridal boutique,looking at the brochures and packages.I could not decide on a colour and theme and asked for a few catalogues to take home.It was late afternoon when we left the boutique and the sun was setting rapidly.There was no parking and my mom had parked a block down the street. I had seen a man hovering around the boutique earlier that afternoon. He looked suspicious but when we left ,the streets were empty.We hurriedly walk
