He sits beside me with his elbow resting against the window frame, his hand propping his chin up as he watches me."She seems excited, I don't think she cared very much about the gender but I think she's happy. I'm still in disbelief that she's actually going to have a baby" I reply honestly. The thought of my best friend becoming a mother is beautiful and terrifying all at the same time."Did you tell her you're moving back in with me?" His hand slides over to wrap around my knee, his thumb softly strumming over the curve. I love the feeling of his fingers over my skin, even more so when he's wearing his rings like he is now. It reminds me that I still have his ring on from when he let me borrow it in LA, I've gotten so used to wearing it, I may have to get one similar to it when I return it to him."Not yet, I thought that might be a sit down in person c
"Hey Whitlock!" Poppy waves at the screen, I turn around and see Rhode walking back in, his phone call now finished. Rhode cranes his head to see the phone in my hand and waves back with a knowing smile. "Hello Poppy " he replies politely as he picks up his new white dress shirt and slips it off of its hanger. "Lost your shirt? More shower sex you two?" Poppy teases with a cheeky smile. "Shut it you!" I reprimand her before I smile back at Rhode as he buttons his shirt. "Poppy 's having a boy" I inform him. His smile seems to grow wider and he directs his attention back to the phone in my hand. "Congratulations Poppy , how're you feeling?" He inquires. "Pretty good. First trimesters over so not much morning sickness going on at the moment which I am thrilled about. Now I'm just waiting to get fat" Poppy explains to us both, I hold up the camera at arms length so that she can see the both of us. "You'
Rhode ventures further into the space and straight for the kitchen, opening the double door fridge and taking a beer out of the fully stocked fridge. I seem to be stuck in place, like if I make a move it will all just disappear."You want something to drink?" He asks me as I manage to bring my eyes away from the view directly ahead of me, turning to the right to see the entire length of Central Park below us. "Bub?" He asks again, this time I turn back to look at him. He's shut the door to the fridge and is leaning his shoulder against it, watching me with a smirk. "You like it?""It's incredible" I manage to say as I take a few steps further into the apartment. There's a large round table with enough chairs to seat ten and a flat screen TV bigger than a double bed set into the wall. As though on cue, the men from downstairs file in with our bags wheeled in on the cart."Set those down upstairs, thank you" Rhode directs them before he takes another sip of his beer. I watch as the t
"Bub, wake up, planes landing soon" Rhode whispers in my ear after pressing a soft kiss to my cheek. I squint my eyes open to find the screen in front of me confirms his statement, we're estimated to be landing in 20 minutes."You won't be able to see all that much, but there'll be lots of lights" He continues as he gestured out the window beside him. When we boarded the plane I asked if he could take the window seat instead of me. I'm just still not used to being up this high and I don't need a visual reminder of just how far from the ground I am. Luckily Rhode loves to fly and took the window seat without any trouble, encouraging me to take small peeks outside on takeoff and now, in landing."How much time will I have to get ready once we land?" I ask as I fold the cover back over my kindle, which has remained open on my lap since I fell asleep."Probably half an hour? Assuming we don't get held back in security" He replies as he watches me tidy the space around me, having so lovi
"What are we doing today?" Amelia's question prompts my trip back to our reality, her inquisitive eyes turned to peer up at me. A smirk crosses my face, and an unknowing smile appears on hers. "What's that look for Whitlock? What are you planning?""Well, I have more things Planned this afternoon but right now, I'm teaching you how to swim" I grin at her and watch as her face contorts into one of surprise."Do you know how to do that, like actually know?" She asks as she sits up completely, turning herself around to face me."Of course I know. I read a few articles about teaching adults to swim and I myself am an excellent swimmer" I boast proudly. "Now quit stalling and go put on your swimsuit, I know you must have bought one in your travels yesterday" She hesitates for a few seconds before slowly grinning and standing up."Alright then, I'm trusting you!" She hurries off back into the house and makes a beeline for the bedroom. I collect my devices and the two empty mugs from the sid
"Amelia doesn't know how to swim?" My mum sounds shocked as she asks."I was surprised too. Apparently she was never taught as a kid and didn't see the point in getting lessons as an adult. So, that's what we're doing today" I grin softly."Well that's very sweet darling. I know I say this all the time but I'm just so thrilled that you two found each other. Eventually you two will do the settling down and marriage and babies but until then, I still consider her my daughter in law" She proudly proclaims. I sit up slightly and take the phone into my hand."Well...I have some news on that..." I begin."Who are you talking to?" Amelia takes me by surprise, standing just to the side of me still dressed in my old shirt, holding two steaming mugs in her hands. She makes me jump slightly, causing her to giggle at my reaction."Hi Amelia darling it's Eloise!" Mum loudly calls out, unaware that I have my AirPod in and that she's just loudly screamed into my ear."Yikes mum hold on" I take the A
I gently set Ameliadown on the bed before climbing in beside her. She's only out of my grasp for a second before her arms reach back out for me, wrapping herself around me like a vine. I can't even remember what it's like to want my own space, to not want her directly beside me."I love you" She quietly mumbles close to my ear before she presses a soft kiss to my neck and rests her head on my shoulder."Love you too bub" I reply, admiring how quickly her breathing evens out as she drifts off to sleep. It's been a big day, the emotional exhaustion must have caught up with her. The words Mitch said to me at the party the other day run through my mind, echoing through my thoughts. 'She's the one isn't she?'***When I wake up for the second time today, Ameliais still peacefully sleeping beside me. Her position has changed however, she's not as tangle up with me as she was when we went to sleep. Her back is facing me, her body pulled tigh
"My father made our lives hell. He was always angry, always drunk, breaking everything in the house that could be broken, yelling and screaming at us until he was red in the face. Everyday there was something that we had done wrong, nothing was ever good enough and he would always make sure we knew how much he hated us and how worthless we all were. And I was terrified of him, absolutely terrified. I never want you to ever feel like that, ever." I run through the words quickly, keeping my hands fixed on Amelia's hips. She sits there quietly as she digests my words, no doubt surprised by my sudden admission. For what feels like an eternity she just watches me, a small pool of liquid starts to collect on the brim of her eyes. Fuck I hate seeing her cry, and I know she's minutes if not seconds away from it."Y-your mum told me that he used to yell, but she never made it out to be that bad...".Ameliawhispers quietly, moving to press one of her hands flat against my chest.
"I just..." she pauses as she opens the top of the milk and hesitated before she pours, seemingly trying to search for the answer in the mug in front of her. "I couldn't sleep not knowing if it was true or not" She sighs and answers before slowly pouring the milk."So now can you tell me what she said, all of it?" I ask her as she slides the milk back towards me to add to my own before scooping half a teaspoon of sugar into her own mug. She rubs her eye and nods her head."She um, she said that you have different sides to you, sides that she thought I may not be aware of and thought I should know about. She told me about the wall incident, and that you can sometimes be narcissistic, angry...and scary" She mumbles quietly as she grips the side of her mug, finally daring to look me in the eye. Scary, Peppy called me scary, I think that would freak anyone out."She warned me about getting myself involved in a life where I don't belong" Her voice is just ab
