ログインSerenaWe arrived safely at our hotel after a six-hour drive. It took longer due to traffic and a blown tyre, but we got here. The room is nice, and our view looks right onto the harbour. The room is massive with beautiful wooden floors, and the walls are painted blue and grey. A queen-size bed sits in the middle of the room. There is a tranquil feeling that surrounds it. I can’t wait to go out and explore. Conall is away to find us coffee. I am unpacking, which works because I packed a couple of things I don’t want him seeing, not yet anyway. A sexy little surprise for him that I bought for tomorrow night. It gives me a chance to hide it and not ruin the surprise. I smirk to myself at the thought. He is going to love it. I will enjoy teasing and seducing him in it. I want our weekend to not only be relaxing and fun, but sexy too. I feel sorry for anyone in the rooms next to us or below us. We are on the top floor, so there isn’t anyone above us. Hopefully, the walls and floors are th
ConallSerena and I head off tomorrow for Finger Lakes, which is about a four-and-a-half-hour drive from the city. Our hotel is by the harbour. There are plenty of things for us to do and places to eat and drink nearby, so we are leaving at six tomorrow morning to arrive by the afternoon. It shouldn’t be crazy busy at this time of year. We were going to fly somewhere, but it was only for the weekend, so we decided to stay closer to home. We can travel abroad later in the year for a longer time.Yes, we are excited, but I sense that Serena has something on her mind. She has been quiet since yesterday. Unless she isn’t as excited as I think she is? I can’t see any reason why she wouldn’t be. I am probably overthinking as always. It is just what I do when it comes to Serena and me.I exit my office building. I am done for the day. I need to go home and grab my things before heading to Serena’s place. We are staying there. It is closer anyway for us to get out of the city. Reaching my car
SerenaI wake with a wince and a pounding headache. I shouldn’t have had so many different cocktails last night. I will be suffering all day. Slowly, I sit up and notice a slice of pizza on my chest. What the hell? I groan and look over at the other side of the bed to check for Conall, but he isn’t there. Has he left? I reach for the bottle of water next to the bed and take a long swig. It takes me a moment to come too.I slowly get out of bed and nearly trip over a pizza box. God, what was I doing, having a pizza party for one last night? I head for the kitchen, needing coffee and food. It is a shame the pizza is done, I would have happily had a slice for my breakfast. I love cold pizza, especially after a night of drinking. I search for Conall on my way, but he doesn’t seem to be here. He must be away to work. Even if he tried to wake me up, it wouldn’t have happened. I always sleep deeply if I have had too much to drink.The coffee pot is still warm, so he must not have left too lo
ConallI am at my house, rather than Serena’s, as originally planned, but only because she and my mom are still out, which is fine. I will give them their time to bond. Serena has been texting me intermittently all evening. They seem to be having a good time together. They will come home when they are ready. I am unsure of the plan, though, whether Serena is coming here or I have to go to hers when she gets home. It doesn’t matter either way. Serena will let me know.I am spending my time relaxing. I had dinner alone since plans changed, but that’s fine. The sound of my cell ringing grabs my attention. I glance at it, and Serena’s name and photo flash on my screen. I smile and quickly answer it.“Hey, baby girl.”“Conall!!!” she giggles. She sounds drunk.“Are you a little drunk?”“Yes, we both are,” she laughs.“My mom is drunk?” I ask, surprised.I have only ever seen my mother drunk, maybe twice in my entire life.“Yes. Um, can you come get us, please? I think we’ve drunk enough,”
SerenaI arrive at the restaurant where I know Conall and his mom are having lunch. They don’t know I am coming, but I am sure they will be fine with it. My meeting ended quicker than I thought it would, but in a good way. I am going to help them get their business up and running. We are meeting later in the week to review final details and finalise all legal arrangements. I will be a silent investor. I don’t want my name visible because anything with my name attached to it, I worry that Henry and his family would happily ruin it all if they knew I was involved. The women are fine with that. I knew they would be. I am excited to help them out and give them the funding they need. I will never use all the money I have, so I like to share it out, especially to help small businesses.I glance around the restaurant, hoping I haven’t missed them. I know Conall’s mom wanted me to join, but I didn’t think I would make it. It will be nice to see her. I spot them. They are enjoying their meals,
ConallI am meeting my mom for lunch since I haven’t seen her in a couple of weeks. She invited me to go to hers for lunch, but I am taking her out instead. She was going to come by the office to meet me, but I talked her out of that because my sperm donor is kicking about and I don’t want her to have to deal with him. He has been staying out of my way, but that would change if my mom came in. He would take the opportunity to say something to her to make her feel bad, and if that happened, I would have punched him. I am meeting her at the restaurant. She told me to invite Serena, but she is meeting with a couple of women today who want to open their own business, and Serena wants to help them out. She is great like that. Money has never been something that Serena is bothered with. She will help whom she can.I finish up and head out. As I step into the elevator, the bastard follows me in. Great! He is the last person I want to be in here with. I don’t acknowledge him. I keep my eyes o
ConallI am on my way to Serena’s place. I am not too happy. She told me she was going home after lunch, which was a lie. I know what she did. A scene like what went down at the Country Club doesn’t go unnoticed. The worst of it is, Serena is being painted as the bad one, the crazy one who has no r
ConallI am not sure if I made the right choice, agreeing to continue with Serena, but I am willing to give it a try. She knows where I stand and what needs to change. If she is willing to work through this together, then things will be fine, but if things go back to how they were, I am done for go
Conall I enter the office, feeling good after my morning with Serena. I had a spring in my step, ready to start my day. I smile and say hello to everyone as I go to my office. I would have much preferred to stay home with Serena, but I need to work. She is coming to mine tonight, well, maybe, she
SerenaI am nervous as I wait for Conall. What did his father say to him? It must have something to do with me if he asked to meet and it couldn’t wait until tonight. I can imagine the things he said. He never did like me. He tried to hit on me once while I was married to Henry. I shot him down, an
