The next morning Hazel was more than excited when Gage announced that they were going to go to the beach after breakfast. Bree was feeling like she was living a dream, she was happy, laughing and giggling with Hazel and Gage during the day. Then when night came the man would pleasure her like crazy, the multiple orgasms were beyond her wildest imaginations.It was day four, they had been staying at Gage's Inn for three nights, and tomorrow they were scheduled to go home. It was late in the evening, Hazel was sleeping, too tired from the day's activities. Bree was leaning on his chest, sitting on Gage's lap while they relaxed on the outside balcony of the master bedroom. They were looking out the beach, hearing the wave of the ocean lazily hitting the beach."My late wife was Sally's best friend. She still meets up with her family from time to time. Sally invited me a couple of times but I couldn't, the memory had been... still too much sometimes." Gage was trying to explain his sister
Bree was not happy when she rejected his proposal, she could see how much she had hurt the man. Gage had done nothing wrong but help her, love her, taking her in when she was in need. And he had loved her. Maybe he still does, but Bree was keeping her foot down, she wanted independence. His timing was all wrong, Bree had gotten out of her shitty marriage with her husband and had just managed to live on her own. Deep inside Bree was not sure if she was ready to be married again though she cares deeply about Gage. It was still too fast too soon. The days after the dreamy seaside vacation was bad, she was sad a lot. But she managed to keep her smile for her little Hazel. Though Bree was not fooling Mrs. Mancini, her neighbor had told her to reconsider Gage. "Look, I've lived long enough to know what love is when I see one. I can see it in his eyes, honey, the man practically has cartoon hearts over his eyes, and you too, though you pretended not to." She tried to cheer Bree and knocked
"Tell me," Gage uttered his words, insisting on her one more time. Then he waited patiently for Bree to explain everything and she did not disappoint when she blurted out all her concerns in between her sobs. Maybe it should make him feel bad to force her into the confession but he did not care. Days and weeks that they were apart had made him miserable and in all selfishness he wanted her to feel the same way too. Gage wanted her to know that being apart was a bad idea. "So?" his single word holds a lot of questions. His headache was under control but the effort was still too much for him to articulate his words.Will they get back together? will Bree move back in and finally said yes to his proposal?"I love you, I missed you, I'm so so sorry." She kissed his knuckles again, she thought back to a few hours back when her heart ached so bad at the possibility of losing him, how she was going to regret the rest of her life for rejecting his proposal and most likely denying Hazel of h
It was late in the evening when Gage's family arrived at the hospital, Rockford had gone back to the club after a private conversation with Gage when Bree took a quick coffee break. Bree was alone by his bedside when his parents, Edith and Graham greeted her. "Bree, thank you for waiting on Gage." His mom put her hand on Bree's shoulder as she said her words. "He's asleep," Bree turned to face his mom, "I'm going to wait outside for your privacy." She didn't want to stay around, Bree was not sure how much Gage wanted his parents to know about his condition. But before she could get out of the room his mom put her hand on her arm to stop her and pulled her in for a hug."I know you love my son, thank you for being here for him." "You're welcome," Bree blinked to rid of her unshed tears, "I'm going to get some coffee," Bree said softly and Edith finally let her go and joined her husband by her son's bedside, the older couple looked broken Bree wanted nothing more to do but give them
Bree woke up from the most uncomfortable sleeping position ever, but then she smiled when she feels him looking at her waking up by his bedside. "Morning," Bree greeted him with a shy smile. "Morning, beautiful," Gage moved his thumb to caress her warm cheek. "I thought I sent you home to sleep in a bed, is Mrs. Mancini with Hazel?"Bree blushed before she straightened herself in the hospital chair. "Hazel is with Mrs. Mancini, I intend to go back home when you're in surgery and recuperation. There will be nothing I could do while they do your biopsy and then you'll be resting afterward.""You've done this before?" Gage asked, his voice was throaty and Bree helped him with his water then she reaches for her bottled water in her overnight bag."Two times with my aunt, she had cancer, they tried everything, another sample was taken when her pathologist needed more to diagnose." Bree hoped that Gage's doctor was better and that his team of specialists will care for Gage with their best
Bree was right when she told him that she should not go back to his house just yet. She hated that she was right because when she stepped into his recovery room she realized that it was going to take all her strength to pull through whatever deep water Gage had blindly and unintentionally dragged her into. The expressions shown by his family say it all, one of his doctors was walking out of the room and nodded politely at her. Bree didn't even remember what the doctor specializes in. She reached his bedside while Sally and Marvin were talking to Gage, they both smiled at Bree. She was getting nervous about the outcome of the biopsy, there were numerous things that could go wrong when he wake-up, his mom pulled Bree in for her warmest hug and his dad rubbed her shoulder as if her cat had died.What the hell is going on? she asked herself, and she got her reply when she faced Gages and saw nothing. The man looked at her and said nothing. Oh God, no... no...no... not memory loss. Bree
It has been six weeks since Gage was released from the hospital. He received his result, his tumor was benign and his team of doctors had managed to take it all out. Now, he was struggling with his memory loss. His parents, especially his mom insisted on staying at his place for the first few weeks and even went far as taking Duke with her to let the dog give him more comfort in Gage's daily life. Edith had read somewhere that a family pet can reduce stress from memory loss. Gage had been seeing his neuropsychologist, he had done a full evaluation for Gage's cognitive rehabilitation. He had endured a series of interviews and psychological tests, some his parents were there to take part and helped his neuropsychologist learn about his behavior before and after the tumor surgery. Gage would sometimes still have problems concentrating, and miraculously his brother Marvin had been stepping up to help him with his businesses. He has been very patient with his brother,
"Gage?""Yeah, sorry Jade, please come in." Gage and Jade had been dancing around each other since the first day he was back working in his office at Babes. Not that Marvin hadn't been doing a good job there, but Gage needed to see some familiar faces in his environment and Jade was the person that he had felt most intimate with since his memory loss.Though Gage seemed reluctant to move forward with Jade, cause he didn't want to start something he knew he had ended before. That afternoon he finally called in Jade to find out why. Hopefully, she could tell him the reason they broke up, if not then he'll think of something else. These past couple of weeks Gage felt like he had done too much thinking.The dark-haired woman with decorative tattoos on several parts of her body gave him a smile before she took her seat in front of him. Gage decided to stay behind his desk, thinking he felt less awkward with some distance for their talk since he didn't
