Before I could respond, Reginald had approached. "Come on, Windsor. I'll race you on the obstacle course!" He pulled him away as I stood there frozen.
"What's going on?" Analeigh asked me.
"Lee just told me he loved me." I said blankly.
"Holy shit!"
"Yeah."
After a few moments I shook it off. There was no way we could truly discuss this until we were alone, which wouldn't happen for some time.
I went outside to watch Lee and Reginald on the obstacle course. Lee looked so happy. I couldn't believe I made that happen.
I was so lost in thought, I didn't notice Lee coming over to me until he had already picked me up and thrown me ove
Well I sure made a mess for myself didn't I?In love with two men. Both rich and handsome. Both want to marry me. One knows about my situation and the other knows only a fraction of what's really happening.Scarlett Watson, you're in big trouble.***"Scar? Are you okay?"I looked up and saw Quin. I had been splashing my feet in the water of one of the pools, while contemplating what the hell I was going to do."Um, eh...not really." I admitted."Nervous for the ball?"Tonight Hal would be given Business Man of the Year award and they were having a ball to honor him.
I pulled Lee back before they saw us."What the hell was that?" He hissed."This is gonna sound crazy, but I think they're married. I saw her credit card and the last name said Windsor.""He married my fucking nanny?""To be fair they do seem to be in love." I offered."Yeah I guess." He muttered. "We should get back out there."It was time for dinner now. Lee kept glancing at Hal and Ninette. I wondered if he would ask them about their relationship tomorrow."Brantley I almost forgot, I need you to do a little speech to introduce me." Hal whispered.Lee's eyes widened. "F
What just happened? I took a few more moments to catch my breath and then got ready to go back. I knew Lee would be looking for me. I spotted him immediately. "There you are baby. Feel better?" He kissed me. "Oh yeah. I really needed that air." "There's so many more people to meet tonight. Hope that's okay." "Oh it's fine!" I waved my hand. "Woah, babe what happened to your wrist?" I looked down and saw it had started to bruise. "I'm just the clumsiest bitch. I was in the garden and I tripped on my heels. My wrist kinda broke my fall."
“Um...I don’t understand, Holly.”“Look I get it okay. Lee is very rich and handsome and he can give you things other boys your age can’t. He’s also very insecure and looking for someone to care about him, which I’m sure you do to an extent. But it’s not fair to him for you to continue this relationship, wanting to get something in return. So how much money will make you leave him now instead of stringing him along? Two million?”“Holly, no. I’m not with Lee for money.
I spent the rest of the yacht trip on the deck. I didn’t feel like eating or drinking or talking to anyone.My phone buzzed furiously in my purse. At first I was going to ignore it, but then I saw that it was Grayson.“Hey Gray.” I answered.“You sound sad.” He stated.
Water was shooting up my throat. I coughed hard and spit up the disgusting water, gasping for air. So much was happening. Crying, screaming. I was surrounded by so many people.“She can’t swim! She can’t swim!” Lee just kept wailing the same thing.Quin’s face was inches from mine.“Am I dead?” I asked.“Close but no cigar.” He tried to smile but he was too worried. “Just stay there.”“I’m fine.” I insisted. “Except for my head, Jesus.” I rubbed the back of my head and it felt kinda sticky. My hand was covered in blood when I looked at it. Again I was consumed with black.This time I just knew I was dead.***The next time I opened my eyes I was in a room I didn’t recognize. It was mint green and smelled exceptionally clean.I slowly sat up and looked around. It was almost like a hospital room, but it felt to
“Lee Windsor.” Grayson whispered. “You’ve been seeing Lee Windsor.”“Grayson let me expl-”“You told me you weren’t fucking him!”“And I wasn’t at that time, I swear but...after that…”“You said it wasn’t serious.” Grayson whispered. “Th-that this was just some other guy, but you met his entire family?”“You told me to spend Spring Break with him.” I pointed out.“I didn’t know who he was. I-I didn’t know he was bringing you to Windsor mansion. How could you do this?”“You didn’t want to know, Grayson remember? No questions. How did you even know I was here?”“The doctors called. I’m your emergency contact, remember? They said you were in the hospital and I thought you relapsed. I was fucking terrified. And then they told me that you fell off of a do
When I woke up, I still didn’t have a clear answer. I was more confused than ever. Seeing Grayson stand in front of me reminded me of all that I loved about him. How handsome he was and how even when he was upset, he looked at me like I was the most magnificent thing to ever grace this earth. And then there was Lee. So sweet and caring. He had been holding on to this crush for so long. He cared more about my happiness than his own. He even tried to break up with me so my life could be better. Who does that? I wish I could just choose with my head. Compare the jobs and perks I would get from being with each person. But I was thinking about who I could truly see my life being with. The problem was I could see two different paths. Both were similar. No matter what, I would be financially taken care of. I would have a job. I would have a man that adored me. Everything I had ever wanted. *** There was a small knock
