Bella’s Pov Lucas hadn’t ran after me like I had thought he would. He had decided to stay at the restaurant longer and I only knew this because my driver had taken forever to come and get me. Lucas had chosen his friends over me. Had he came outside and done something romantic than I would’ve accepted his apology but he hadn’t even bothered to try. That’s how I knew this relationship was not worth it. I was meant to have a loving husband who made my life amazing. Not a husband who couldn’t even come and grovel. “We are here miss.” My driver stated as he pulled up towards the newly renovated steps. My father had decided to minimize the walk to his car and had replaced the long walkway with what looked like a shorter red clay walk way and red clay steps that lead up to our too big house. My father called it a mansion but that was just a fancy word for house with too many rooms. The driver got out of the car and went around to open up my door. I gave a tight smile as the door opened

Lucas’s PovI leaned back into my plush chair in annoyance. I had to be up for breakfast before Bella woke up but my father and Victor had to have called an emergency meeting at 2am in the morning. There was no way this meeting would end before five, my father would make sure of it. So I would have to go to breakfast with no sleep and try to pacify Bella the best I could. “How long until everyone gets here?” I asked as I looked around at the nearly empty board room? Only 3 other people had gotten here. One being Bethany’s father and the other two being random board members. There were at least 15 people missing. “They will be here soon, relax.” My father demanded in frustration. I grit my teeth as I pushed down what I wanted to say. The last thing I wanted was to start an argument with my father, it never ended well. “You will tell Bella that you couldn’t sleep because of nightmares.” Victor stated nonchalantly. My face fell as I looked at him in disbelief. “Nightmares?” I dead

Bella’s Pov A small peaceful smile was plastered on my lips as I gently rubbed the stubble around Lucas’s mouth. I loved the way it prickled my finger and the way he was so deep in sleep that he didn’t stir when I examined his face. I hadn’t even noticed how perfect his skin was until today. It wasn’t to shiny but it was smooth. His lips were full and every so often he would lick them. I had to stop myself from wiping off his lips because it just made him lick them again. His eye lashes were full and seemed to be the best feature on his face and I hadn’t even noticed it until today. If not for him being in a deep sleep I wouldn’t have been able to count them either. I had found out that his left eye had more eyelashes than his right one, so to help him out I plucked a few to make sure they were even. His eyebrows were impossible to count so instead I rubbed them around with my finger until I was satisfied with how they looked. I would have to remember to tell him that I liked hi

Bella’s Pov (1 month later)I frowned as I looked at the fluffy red dress in the mirror. Red should’ve made my body look amazing but all it did was make me look younger than I was. I looked like I should be at the kids table and not the adults table with this dress on. When my father told me we would be going to a party today I couldn’t help but be gleeful. I just didn’t think that he would dress me like I was 8. I sometimes felt like since I lost my memories that he forgot that I would be 17 in less than a month. “This thing can’t be tamed.” I mumbled to my stylist as I tried to push the ball gown down. The forced smile she gave me told me that she could not help me. She had done an amazing job with my hair but that didn’t matter when my dress outshined it. “The bodice fits you perfectly at least.” She pointed out sounding more apologetic than anything. I could only huff as I took two steps back. I lifted up the soft material and did a bow to see how I would look. “Beautiful.”

Lucas’s Pov “Why don’t you stay here tonight?” Bella’s asked as she snuggled into her white blanket. Her pleading tone had me curing inwardly. Had I not had to go to a meeting right now I would’ve spent the night with her. Unfortunately after every thing that happened tonight I couldn’t. This meeting was important and I couldn’t hold it off. “I have to finish up some work that I held off otherwise I would love nothing more than to spend the night with you.” I stated apologetically. The last thing I wanted was for her to have any doubt about our relationship. She looked at me with watery eyes telling me that I would not be able to leave until she fell asleep. I sighed as I took of my suit jacket and put it at the end of the bed. I climbed I got the bed with her with reluctance. It wasn’t that I wouldn’t love to lay next to her and have her spooning over me. It was that everyone was waiting for me right now. The smile that formed on her lips had me smirking as I scoote
