SapphireMy eyes remain closed as Nina fixed my eye shadow. I was completely ready until dad came and we had a family moment.He said my mom would be so proud of me and so happy for me if she were alive. I didn't realise I was crying until Nina yelled on top of her voice that I was spoiling my make up.She was so mad at me for being so irresponsible and not worrying about my wedding."I don't understand how you could do that. I worked so hard on it!" She protested as she tried to fix my make up."It's okay. I know you can fix it back.." I encouraged her."Shut up. I know I can do it but it won't be the same. It was so perfect in the beginning.""It'll be even more amazing now." I said."I can't believe how you can remain so calm. It's your wedding! Aren't you worried about your appearance?""No." I said. "I don't care how I look, because I know, Sean's going to marry me anyway.""Good that he's in love with you." Chloe said.I learned that Parker didn't go easy on her because she was
Bonus chapter 1Sapphire"Jessie, baby girl, where are you?" I cried out for our little baby as I walked into the living room.I sighed when I didn't find her there too. My head fell back in tiredness. Jessie is always active and is always hiding from her momma.I walked into our backyard and looked around. I smiled when I glanced at my 7 months old baby crawling on the floor.I went to her and picked her up. She lifted her tail up and started licking my hand. We adopted Jessie a few months ago, right after Sean and I moved in together.Since Sean was always at practice and was always roaming around the world for his games, he decided we should get a dog to keep me company. But honestly speaking, he bought it so it could ensure my safety while he's away.I quickly headed back and closed the door that led to the back yard. It was really cool outside and I'm worried about how Sean's going to come home.Sean is returning home after three weeks.After my college, Sean asked me to come liv
Sapphire So today was just like every other day in my life. Atleast, it wasn't the same for Sean. Well, to be very honest, today is the day I decided to grace this planet by my birth. I was pushed out of my mom's womb today. When I was a kid, my parents used to tale me out with them, with Julliete being the kid who enjoyed the priveleges with me, to celebrate my birthday. It used to simple, we'd roam around, I'd cut the cake and then dad would plan a dinner for all of us. But eventually that came to end when my mom left us, and my dad left me. Since then, until now, it was only Juliette and I that remained. Julliete would bake a cake, which always ended either burnt or too raw, but I would just smile and compliment her that it was amazing. Everything changed in my life when Sean entered. My life became like a fidget spinner. He control it only his fingers. Just like the spinner, I would occasion fall down in miseries, but Sean being the guy that's good at everything, never let th
After I had lunch, and Sean just sat quietly stately at me because he's not supposed to eat anything, we headed to the game.We needed to report a couple of hours earlier because Sean is in the team. He left me in the VIP waiting room, and headed to his team.The only time I got to see him was when he was about to leave to play the game."Are you still mad?" He asked me, cupping my face.I didn't know what to say. Should I stop pretending?"Can I get a good luck kiss?" He asked me, looking hopeful.It took a while for me to analyse the situation and reply, but before I could say anything, Sean's face saddened and he shook his head."It's okay.." he said, pulling me into a hug. He let go of me after a few seconds and started walking back into the ground."Wait!" I yelled for him. He stopped in his step and turned around.I quickly walked to him and kissed him on the lips. "Don't ruin your game for me. I love you."He grinned and pulled me into a deep kiss. "I love you too.""I wasn't a
SapphireThe sun has just sunk below the horizon as my phone ringed to the side. I snuggled closer into covers and buried myself in the warmth, reluctant to open my eyes to the darkness. I felt an arm over my shoulder and a pair of eyes watching me in darkness.The bed shifted onto my side and I heard a small voice."Hello?" She said in a low voice."Baby girl, is that you?" Sean's voice was heard from the speaker. A warm smile spread across my face at his voice."Daddy!" Sarah said in an excited tone. "Why are you calling at this time? You know we shouldn't disturb mommy.""I'm sorry baby, I forgot." Sean chuckled. "What is mommy doing?""She's sleeping." She whispered. "When are you coming back home?""I'll be coming home in a few hours, baby girl." He said. "Are you taking good care of mommy while I'm away? And how is your little brother doing?""My little brother is being a very bad boy." I heard our 3 year old daughter say, "He's always kicking mommy in the tummy. I think he foun
SeanThe moon eagerly crept out even before the evening sun headed to the horizon. Hues of orange and yellow blend well with the fast arriving night sky, as the cold air carried away the warmth of the sun with it. The little puddle that lay by the windows was beginning to freeze as cool air continued to swarm over us.I was sitting by a tree in my lawn, my eyes relaxed. It was moments like these in my life that always prompted my mind to travel back in time. A warm smile spread across my face as images of my past flashed before my eyes. It's been ten years already. It was overwhelming me -in a good way - to finally realise how we've been through so much in these years.There have been several downs, but the highs, although few, always made the struggle seem worth it.Digging into my pocket for my wallet, I opened it to look at her picture. The same old picture that I always carried with me. It's a picture of her on the day of our first date, the day I finally asked her out.It's alrea
2 years after Sean's party. Sapphire The sun rays streamed into my room, spreading the flecks of light into every corner. The heat radiated off the closed windows, busting through the chilly air and warming my skin. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and stared at my blue eyes. That was the reason why I was named Sapphire. And it is a mere coincidence that my surname was Blue. Sapphire Blue with sapphire blue eyes – I had been subjected to many jokes in the past with my friends due to this. Looking further down, I examined my blue skinny jeans and a white tank beneath a black jacket. Gently running my fingers through my hair, I plaited it to a side. The scent of my newly purchased shampoo, that will have to be replaced immediately lingered in the air for a brief second. It almost felt intoxicating, and dominated my perfume. Ready for the day, I threw my bag over my shoulder and made my way out of my room. As I was stepping down the stairs, I was instantly greeted with a ric
Sapphire She squealed like she just met Taylor Swift. Shit! I whirled around at her sudden gesture and my leg made contact with the rock beside my foot and in a matter of seconds, I was on the ground. Double shit! "Hey," His silk voice filled my ears, as his hot breath fell on my neck, tickling it. Turning around, I met his grey eyes and his dark brown hair, masking his handsome face. "Are you alright?" He asked, his eyes showing concern. "I-I'm fine." I answered him. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and lifted me up while I was staring at him. My nose was immediately filled with his sexy cologne and I take my time to inhale his scent. Triple shit! "So.." he started, with husky voice, "I heard Tate got beaten last night, by, the obvious man in the world." "Um… Yeah... Unfortunately, yes." I said, looking into his grey eyes. It was actually the first time ever that Sean was talking to me after two years of my time in this school. It was almost amusing that I had gone to m
