Chapter 11: The Beach
That morning I got up, showered and dressed as fast as I could. I wanted to get out of the house before Brandon decided to show his face. I really was not in the mood to deal with him.
I decided on a beach day. It has been a little while since I have seen the Gulf. I grabbed my packed beach bag and hopped in my car. I purposely left my car here and flew to New York. Why would I need it anyway with all the different transportation systems the city offers, plus I wouldn’t want to drive in that traffic anyway.
My car was a blue ‘05 Mustang convertible. I had saved every penny I made throughout high school just so I could buy it. I started the engine and pulled out. It felt so good to be behind the wheel again.
The drive to t

Falling for My Childhood Sweetheart Preface
"Will you marry me, Charlie?"I looked into his deep blue eyes. My heart skipped a beat as I watched him get down on one knee and present a daisy before me. His black skater-boy hair to the side of his face as he blows it out of his eyes."You're so silly Nathan Woods." I laugh as I smack his shoulder. Nathan gasps as he places his hand over his heart."You wound my heart Charlotte Reece, one day I will make you my wife." he smirks as he stands up. A devilish gleam appears in his blue eyes.My eyes widen and I turn and run. I run fast across the yard as he begins to chase me. The tree house we built is just up ahead as I turn to head for it. Just as I reach the stairs, I feel a hand grab my shirt and instantly pull me back tackling me
Falling for My Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 1. The Interview
NEW YORK CITY, PRESENT BUZZ! I rolled over, smacking the alarm clock, pulling the covers over my head as I begin to drift off into sleep land again. BUZZ! Ugh, I pull the covers down peeking out at the alarm clock that will not stop beeping. ‘I need to start sleeping with a hammer,’ I thought as I glanced at the red numbers staring back at me, 8:15. SHIT! I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. I turn the shower on and throw my clothes off. ‘I can’t be late for this interview,’ I thought to myself as I jump in the shower and quickly wash my body and hair. My interview was at 9:30 across town.&nbs
Falling for My Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 2. The CEO
“Nate-Nathan, or I’m sorry Mr. Woods,” I stuttered. “This is not what I was expecting when I woke up this morning.”Nathan looked at me with amusement dancing in his blue eyes. “You didn’t notice the name on the outside of the office? Mr. Woods is fine when we are working, Nathan when by ourselves.”He kept a professionalism about him as he spoke, even though I could see the shock behind his eyes. It has been ten years since we have seen each other, and now I am interviewing to work for him; if I get the job, we will be working side by side, every day, for five months.“So, Miss Reece-” he started. Miss Reece? I could feel the distance of his words jut into my gut as if being stabbed.
Falling for My Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 3: Charlotte's First Day
The weekend flew by like a breeze. I stood in the Human Resources office waiting for them to give me my badge. I dolled myself up for the picture. I wore a pink blouse and black pencil skirt. My red hair was twisted up halfway and my makeup was done just right to complement my skin.“Miss Charlotte Reece?” I looked up, distracted from my thoughts.“You can head up to the 54th floor, Mrs. Helms will be waiting for you.”“Thank you,” I reply as I rode the elevator up to the 54th floor. When I exited, I saw Kate waiting for me just like she had the day of my interview. “L

NANTUCKET, 1999 “Lydia, baby you have to wake up!” I roll over groggily and pull the covers back over my head. “Lydia come on baby, we need to get going. The Woods are expecting you!” I feel a hand grab the blankets and pull them down. “Five more minutes, please Jason?” I whine as I see the man of my dreams smiling above me. His beautiful red hair and green eyes. He has freckles on his face that only compliment his looks. His Scottish heritage really shows through in his features. I smile as he leans down and kisses my lips. “Honeymoon is officially over I guess,” I said with a pout. He runs his big hand through my hair and down the side of my face. “Well we still have a few more minutes,” he says with a smoldering look in his eyes, “as long as you

Chapter 5: A Birth and a DeathTHREE WEEKS LATER"You hurt Nan?"Nathan looked worried as he pointed at my hand against my stomach. I have been feeling queasy for the last week or so. I think I might have eaten something that doesn't agree with me. That had to be it."No sweet boy, I just have a stomachache," I replied as I ruffled his hair on his head.Nathan just turned two last week. We had an elaborate party for him, anyone who was anyone showed up. He is such a handsome and sweet little boy. I have come to love him like he is my own; we are developing a close bond. I know it will be hard to leave him once Jason returns home and we start our life.

NEW YORK CITY, PRESENT DAY “Charlotte!” I shook my head and pulled myself out of my thoughts to see Kate staring at me. “You with me now? It seems I had lost you there for a minute.” “Yeah, sorry, I was in my own world for a moment.” “Okay, well I need you in this world if you are going to learn everything before the end of the day, after today you are on your own.” Oh shit, I forgot today was Friday, and Kate’s last day before she leaves for five months. This week flew by fast, I am a little nervous to do this on my own starting Monday. “Sorry, I am here now. You have my full attention.”
Falling for My Childhood Sweetheart Chapter 7: Big Mistake
We rode in silence; him never taking his eyes off the road, and me staring out the window. Anger still surged inside me from the incident at the club. Who does he think he is? Commanding me? He is going to learn that I am not one to mess with. When we finally stopped, we were outside of a tall skyscraper. The building must have had around sixty floors if I was to guess. I watch him in confusion as he gets out of the car and walks around to open my door. “Come on Charlotte.” “No, I thought you were taking me home, I want to go home.” “I did, I brought you to my home. I’m not leaving you alone while you are drunk. You can crash here and go home in the morning.”
