Talk to me nicely Chapter 118
Waking up on Christmas morning to the grounds being lightly covered in snow had nothing on waking up to her fiancé. It was as if their sleep and cuddles hit so much better with their new titles, and Chelle was eating it up.Simon had her wrapped in his arms like a warm cocoon of love. With her eyes closed, she smiled and reminisced over the past couple of days.Last night, they had family over. Daisy, Johnson and Damon and coworker from the company wrapped up last-minute gifts while Simon and the guys chilled in the man cave. A few card games,with different alcohol on the side , and the reason Chelle had a minor headache right now. When she wiggled, trying to break free from his embrace, Simon held her tighter. Nestling his face in the crook of her neck,he exhaled.“Mm, mm. Where you trying to escape to, baby?”The rumble of his voice made her shiver.“The bathroom. I need some meds for this headache and want to see the snow.”She hadn’t seen it directly, but the room was much to

“What do you mean you can’t make it?” Chelle’s question was whined into her cell phone.Annoyance and sadness were laced through her words and plastered on her face. Even though she had no problem attending the Christmas partywith Simon, she looked forward to seeing his brother . Damon had already called earlier in the day and told her she wouldn’t make it. Now Chelle was telling her the same thing.“Simon is your man, not mine,” Chelle snickered. “I have things to do, sis. You do know Christmas is on Sunday. I finally have some good money rolling in and can spoil you like you do me.”“Whatever. If you didn’t want to come, that’s all you had to say,” Chelle told her. “I bet I won’t invite you and Johnson to anything else.”“Hold on, now,” Daisy laughed. “How did my man get into this?”“You guys are a team. I bet he’s not showing up without you.” Chelle was quiet. “Exactly what I thought .”“Chelly, please. Go to the party, have fun, get drunk, and then go home and let your man sl

The drive home felt shorter than it should have.Chelle sat in the passenger seat, her fingers threaded through Simon’s on the console between them. Every now and then he squeezed her hand, slow and firm, like he needed to be sure she was really there. At a red light, Simon turned his head but Chelle was already looking at him.She didn’t look away this time.A small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, soft but dangerous. Simon exhaled through his nose, shaking his head once like he was trying to stay in control. His thumb brushed over the back of her hand.“You keep looking at me like that,” he murmured, eyes flicking back to the road as the light turned green.“Like what?” she asked, though the smile on her face said she knew exactly what she was doing.Simon didn’t answer immediately. His jaw tightened slightly, and he shifted in his seat.“Chelle,” he said quietly, warning wrapped in her name.She laughed under her breath, leaning her head back against the seat, but her fing

Do you know I have worked for twelve days straight?” Daisy questioned.Chelle paused what she was doing to stare at the camera. “Are you serious?”“Yes,” Daisy whined.“Daisy. You know better than that. You have to give yourself some time off. At least a day or two.” “I know, but I need the shift money I wanna get Johnson something huge ”Chelle ’s head cocked to the side, giving her an expression that let Daisy know she wasn’t trying to hear any of that.“And does he know you’re doing this ?.”Daisy poked her lips out and tossed her head back against her burnt orange desk chair. “Okay, maybe you’re right. But, when have you taken a break?”Giggling, Chelle shook her head. “This isn’t about me Daisy .”As a young lady doing her dream job —a nurse , Daisy put every ounce of love, overflow of tears, restless nights into her job and In fact, it’s been months of her working in France yet it hadn’t gotten easier.She loved and appreciated every person who supported her, but some days,

Daisy fumbled with the key at the door, her hands still shaking from everything that had happened at the restaurant. The hallway light of their small apartment flicked on as she pushed the door open with her shoulder, the faint scent of vanilla candles and laundry detergent wrapping around her like a familiar blanket.She stepped inside, closing the door softly behind her. The quiet of the apartment was a complete contrast to the clink of glasses, low music, and laughter that had filled the restaurant just an hour ago. Her heart was still pounding, her mind replaying the moment over and over, as if it couldn’t quite believe it had been real.“Chelle?” Daisy called, kicking off her heels by the door. “You home?”“I’m in the living room!” her sister’s voice floated back, a little too bright, a little too tight.Daisy slipped out of her coat and hung it on the hook, feeling the smooth, stiff edge of the small envelope still in her hand. It seemed absurd that something so thin, so light,

Daisy had always loved this restaurant at night.By day, the restaurant was all soft light and chatter, a place for hurried business lunches and clinking coffee cups. But after sundown the world outside the tall windows faded to silhouettes, and the inside transformed. The low amber lamps over each table floated like miniature moons. Tea candles flickered in old brass holders. Somewhere near the kitchen, a violinist was playing something slow and lilting that made everything feel slightly unreal, like a dream she could touch.She smoothed her palms over the blue dress she’d bought last week—the one Chelle had insisted she try on “because your eyes will look insane in that, trust me”—and exhaled slowly. The waiter had already refilled her water twice. Her phone read 7:14 p.m.He was late.Very unusual for Johnson, she reminded herself with a wry half-smile. Punctuality and creativity had never been friends in his world. Still, tonight her nerves were tuned too high to let her relax. T

The bass from Damon’s music pressed softly against the walls, a steady thud that made the door vibrate before it slowly creaked open.Lillian stepped in with her hip, careful not to spill the small tray in her hands. Mango cubes. Apple slices peeled the way he liked. Grapes cut in halves because on

Morning came softly, like it didn’t want to interrupt anything fragile.Chelle stood in front of her mirror longer than necessary.Her suitcase was already packed. Her passport rested on the dresser. Her phone lay face down beside it, silent but heavy with everything unsaid.She was going to France

The bass was still thudding through the walls, a leftover heartbeat from the speaker Daisy had balanced on the kitchen counter. The floor smelled faintly of lemon cleaner and something sugary from the candles they’d burned down to nubs. Sunlight, thin and gray-blue, slipped through the blinds in cr

Chelle disappeared down the hallway without another word. Cabinet doors clicked open, then shut. When she returned, she carried a dented tin of cookies tucked against her hip and a cold bottle of milk sweating in her other hand. She set both on the coffee table with a soft thud. Damon leaned back
