CHAPTER 32:THE COMPROMISE
JAMIE
Sid and Barb had renewed their wedding vows in a rustic style ceremony and now the party was in full swing. The band was playing sweet music on the stage, while couples danced on the lit up dance floor in front of it.
The garden was lit up with fairy lights above us and amongst the trees and tables of 6 were scattered to the sides of the dance floor for those who wanted to sit and chat.
It was late evening now and the sun was beginning to set, bringing an end to the perfect day that Barb and Sid had been planning for months. All this effort that they put into this special day and it goes by so quick.
Over the years I've heard many brides express how that didn't enjoy their own wedding, that it went by so fast and there was too much stress. I didn't w

MASONWas this it for us?I was sitting behind my desk for what felt like a lifetime, my body was aching from sitting in the same position for hours on end. I haven't left my office since midday. My laptop screen was in front of me, I was trying to work but I couldn't. All I could think about was her.Her hair, her lusciously plump lips, her eyes so big and brown. With or without clothes she was perfect either way.Two nights out of her bed and I'm fucking sleep deprived. Usually, Jamie would rest with her head on my chest and the majority of the time that's the way it would stay until the sun rose. Now I sleep alone and I don't like it.I threw my pen down on my desk and reclined back in my chair. My head is fucked. I can't do anythin
Penelope CHAPTER 34: THE LUMP
JAMIE"Mom-Mom!"I called out as I walked through her hallway towards the kitchen. I heard nothing back. Usually, I would hear the clattering of plates as she put them away in the cupboard or her singing along with the radio so loud she wouldn't hear me.Where is she?I walked into the kitchen and no one was in sight, which was very unusual for the Harris household. I walked further towards the kitchen island and pulled out my phone to call her.My Mom's car is parked out front, she wouldn't usually go out without her car because her knees get sore if she walks a long distance. She wouldn't be with my father, he's in work at this hour.Her phone rang aloud and the tiny hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I instantly had a bad feeling, you know when you can just sense that something
Penelope CHAPTER 35:THE TRAGIC END
JAMIEOh my God, I could just die. Was what I thought when I looked at myself in the mirror. I was rocking a red dress that was a little below the knee and trying my best to contain my exciting emotions.Dinner with Mason.I was excited about tonight, I was excited about seeing him after our few days apart. Those days felt like forever. A part of me was really worried about how this dinner will go. We didn't exactly leave things off on a good note when he left so I still don't know where we stand."That dress looks stunning on you. Red is so your colour."Sara grinned."I think you should accessorise with gold. Those two work really well together.""Let's move onto shoes next then."I turned and looked in the mirror again. I hope he likes
Penelope CHAPTER 1:I'M BACK.
MASONI walked out of the airport and into the waiting black Mercedes. It was July now, almost a year and a half since I left New York City and my life behind me. Everything still looked the same to me as it did before I left, yet life was completely different. I was different! At least that's what I've been telling myself. All that time I spent trying to find myself again, it wasn't all for nothing. I wouldn't be back if I wasn't a changed man. "It's been a long time,Son."My Father said, from the other side of the back seat. "How have you been--where have you been?" "Everywhere, I didn't stay put for too long." I turned my head and
Penelope CHAPTER 2:HE'S BACK!!
JAMIEWhen I looked up and saw his face, at first I thought my eyes were deceiving me. That was until I pinched myself, most likely hard enough to leave a mark. He's here- He's really here. Why? It's been so long, so much time has passed and so much has changed. I put him behind me but now he's back, he had only just spoken a word but seeing his face was enough to drag all my anger to the surface. Already I felt like a kettle on the stove, almost at it's boiling point. "Mason Knight..."I whispered. "Thee Mason Knight, The
Penelope CHAPTER 3: THE DINNER.
JAMIEThe wanderer has finally returned!!They're not happy about it. They're my best friends, they have a right to be worried about him being back. He left, so easily, like I didn't matter to him at all. They were there to pick up the pieces.Carmen and Ethan stuck by me just like they always do. They were my support through the toughest moments of my life, I know more than anything else that that will never change.Unfortunately I can't say the same for Mason Knight. I don't know if he's changed, I hope he has purely for himself, but I don't see it happening. It was stupid of me to think that in the past. I won't make that mistake again!!"What are you going to do about the dinner?"Harry asked, grabbing my attention from the people that were passing by the window of the coffee shop.In thought I had become distracted by the people that were passing by, rushing to
Penelope CHAPTER 4:PENELOPE
MASONI can't believe it!! All this time I've been gone, travelling the world trying to figure my shit out, I never knew what I had left behind.. A Daughter!! I leaned back against the wall of the elevator."This can't be true!"This isn't me, I'm not Father material. I don't know the first thing about raising a child. I stepped out of the elevator feeling the rage, as I walked towards my Father's office. How could he not tell me about this? I've seen more of him than anyone since I've been back, how could he not say something. I pushed open the door to my Father's office and walked inside. I saw that he was already gone.
Penelope CHAPTER 5:THE SPARE TIRE.
JAMIEI looked down at the binder that I was holding in my arms. The Montgomery's had added 4 extra tables of 6 to their anniversary party overnight. Luckily I was equipped to deal with this kind of situation at last minute.Mrs Montgomery's turned to me and smiled."Is that okay, Darling?""Of course."I smiled back."I penciled it in for 4 extra table. We just need a decision on napkin colours, other than that we're pretty much set for your special day."Mr Montgomery chuckled."I'll leave this one to you, Dear.""I assumed you would."She looked at him adoringly. I found it cute that after 50 years together they were this much in love. It makes me think of my own Mom and Dad."Perfect, I'll go us a couple of sample colours."I left the Montgomery's to chat while I grabbed my napkins from the office. Five minutes later I was back but there was one other person with them.
