Stay tuned, more chapters of excitement will be served soon. Feel free to comment. ^^
~Love does not consist of gazing at each other in the eyes, but looking at the Heart.~Hailey had a lot to think about. The one night that kept coming to her mind was when Jake's fiancée, Bridgette, told her to leave the ranch and never return. She never imagined contemplating returning there after being so humiliated. But there was no denying she cared about Jake and could relate to his situation, which was why she considered it. Hailey knew all too well what it was like being with someone you don’t love, and they don't love you.She also tearfully considered her circumstances more carefully. Working and keeping things going this late in pregnancy was a struggle. The money she inherited from her grandparents was wasted in a sad marriage, and she had to get out of it. But it wasn't having security for her and the baby that moved her heart; it was hearing all that Jake was going through and how he was being forced to be with someone just to keep the ranch, which was rightfully his.Ja
~Sharing thoughts, communicating regularly, laughing together, and practicing forgiveness can have a great and positive impact on the couple’s intimate and romantic life.~Hailey loved the way he responded to her food. He made her feel like her food was the best thing she had ever had."You must want to move back to Whispering Creek?" Hailey said as she took her seat across from him. "Yes, I do. It's pretty lonely here, and people are, how can I say this? People here only care about work and money. And at one time, I guess I was that way. But something has changed for me." "Really? You are a person who not only cares about winning, but also cares about people. I thought you would have many friends.""I have a few. But it could be me, I don’t trust everyone. Plus, I’m so focused on work and trying to make sure I meet my goal.""Your goal?" Jake looked at her cute face and complimented her perfect features. He never imagined a girl who looks like Hailey would turn him on the way s
~Love in marriage holds the position of utmost importance.~ Jake's POV:I went to work every morning, more aware of time than I cared to be. It's already been two weeks, and I haven’t heard a response from Hailey. She stayed on my mind day and night. Every evening for the past two weeks, I stopped by her apartment to knock, but I haven't gotten an answer. I know that she's in there because every single night, the scents surrounding her apartment door have changed. I feel like I'm drawn to her, as if a bee is drawn to honey. The smells that emanate from her apartment leave me in a constant state of hunger, both physically and sexually. But I told myself tonight I was willing even to forgo sex while she was pregnant if she didn’t want to.I knew I had to be brutally honest with myself about this matter. 'She doesn't want me, and I probably scared her to death and ran her away with my wild talk of marriage on the first date. Who says crazy talk like that? If I put myself in her bo
~What could have gotten into the heads of people who want to get married again?~It's been 2 weeks since her first official dinner date with Jake Sullivan. Hailey sat there, numb in the dark living room. Hailey was clueless about why she felt sad, confused, and upset about what happened between her and Jake.Thinking about the conversation over and over left her in a state of confusion. She's never really dated anyone seriously outside of Rome. But since her divorce, she never thought she would date anyone else, especially being heavy with children. But the shocker came when Jak proposed to her. But she knew that it wasn't the type of proposal she was expecting. Was it even a marriage proposal? Hailey never thought she would be proposed to in her condition on the day she was. The madly in love thing she did that once, and lived to regret it. However, this proposal lacked all the romantic elements. It felt like another plot or scheme. She wasn’t surprised that he didn’t have all the fa
~Whether it is physical, emotional, or intellectual intimacy, all couples need intimacy in different forms to grow closer.~The evening continued with Jake chuckling, finding Hailey to be very humorous; her words, gestures, and facial expressions made him laugh. He found her unbelievably beautiful and refreshing. She was down-to-earth, like his friends in Whispering Creek. "Earlier, you asked me if I had lost my mind. I know this is our first official date. I know what you think about me. That I’m cold and revengeful, some of that’s true. But only to people who deserve it.” Jake paused for a second. “But I…recognize a good woman when my eyes see one." He said, smiling.Hailey's mouth dropped open; she couldn't believe her ears. She wanted to blush. A man with wealth and prestige thought a simple schoolteacher and cook was pretty, intelligent, and good. "You want to know what I'm feeling and thinking?"Jake smiled, nodding yes, as his level of excitement rose, anticipating and hopi
~ Many factors can positively or negatively impact a relationship, and attaining a balance is necessary.~ Hailey's eyes opened wide as she absorbed Jake's words, waiting for the final "Amen." His words seemed to hang in the air like an accusation. Her eyes roamed over Jake's face, still anticipating the conclusion to his prayer. She leaned forward, her heart racing, a mix of disbelief and anger swirling inside her. The minute Jake said, "Amen." Hailey asked him, "Could you repeat that last part of your prayer. Because I don't think I heard you correctly."Jake shifted in his seat, his discomfort palpable. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to mask the nervousness creeping into his voice. "The part where I express gratitude for your kindness and hospitality in providing this meal," he offered, as if that would defuse her tension."No, not that," Hailey snapped, her patience fraying. "After that."He cleared his throat. Glancing away as if the truth might reveal itself from the sha
