Chapter 117 – What the Heck Am I Doing?

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-19 08:33:49

Amelie’s POV

I led Tiff to one of the bedrooms and shut the door.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“What the heck am I doing?” Tiff said, putting her hands over her face.

“What do you mean?” I questioned.

“I just broke up with Peter, and I’m making out with Samuel,” she cried. “I’ve had a few drinks, but I don’t think I can use that as an excuse.”

“Tiff, don’t cry.” I reached over and hugged her. “Shhhh, calm down.”

“Samuel is such a nice guy, and honestly, I’m drawn to him,” Tiff explained. “I can’t explain it. It’s like this magnetic draw, but I shouldn’t have jumped into something so soon.”

“I totally understand. I had that feeling with Nathan,” I continued. “It was like electricity between us.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what it felt like!” Tiff stated. “It’s just I shouldn’t be jumping into anything three days after Peter dumped me.”

“That’s really for you to decide. No one can put a timeline on grief and healing,” I hugged her tighter. “I will support you in whatever path you decide.”

    Amelie’s POVThe party continued until the early morning hours of Sunday. By that time, everyone was either highly inebriated or very drunk. I was even feeling a little tipsy myself. Nathan was drunk. I had never seen him like this. We were snuggled on the couch, sipping on our cocktails and chatting with a bunch of partygoers.“So Simon,” Nathan said. “You are in our marketing department.”“Yes, Dr. Michaels,” Simon replied. “I’m one of the managers in the department.”“Good on you, Simon,” Nathan continued. “I’m going to be giving you a new hire after Christmas.”I looked at Nathan, puzzled, “Who are you hiring, schmoopie?”“Tiff,” Nathan stated. “I wanted to give her a position to thank her for all that she’s done for you, kitten.”“Really?” I hugged him. “Baby, she’s going to be thrilled!”“You think so?” Nathan smiled.“Absolutely,” I grinned. “Thank you so much for doing this for her.”Samuel walked over from the kitchen, “What did I miss? Why is Amelie smiling like she’s the ca

Zander was taken to the front desk on a stretcher, and the paramedic began checking him in.“Oh, Zander Cavanaugh? Dr. Michaels called to inform us. Follow me,” the receptio

Think fast, Amelie.“Nathan,” Morgan spoke. “Amelie is worried about security for the wedding.”“Is that what you're concerned about?” Nathan asked.“Ummmm….yeah. I mean, I don’t want anything to spoil the day,” I whispered.“Oh, Amelie,” Nathan reached out and hugged me. “Why didn’t you say something?”“I didn’t want to bother you, Nathan,” I spoke. “You have enough on your plate with work and everything.”“Amelie,” he said as he leaned back and looked into my eyes. “Your safety is the most important thing to me.”Stop saying things like that, Nathan! I thought to myself. It rips my heart out knowing you don’t have feelings for me like I have for you.“Ok, I think I’m just overthinking things because I’m tired,” I sighed.“Well, I’m prepared to tell everyone to fuck off if you need to sleep,” he grinned.“Nathan!” I giggled.Nathan kissed my forehead and then walked off to the living room with a few of the water bott

Morgan decided to do a bit of investigation on her own. She said she would keep me posted on her findings. I attended my appointments with Dr. Yvonne on Monday and Tuesday.It was now Tuesday late afternoon; Tiff, Zander, and I were in the media room watching a movie when Nathan came home.“Hey, Schmoopie,” I greeted Nathan.He smiled and walked over to me. “Hi, Kitten,” he said, then kissed me on the top of my head. “Remember, we have dinner with Alfred and his wife tonight at 7:00 pm.”“How could I forget?” I grimaced.Nathan chuckled to himself.“Hey, Tiff,” Nathan turned towards her. “I’ve been meaning to talk to you.”“Really? What about Nathan?” Tiff questioned.Nathan sat down on the arm of the sofa behind me. I instinctively leaned my head against him, and he stroked my hair.“I want to give

    Nathan’s POV“I like the fact that Amelie wants to work, actually,” I disclosed. “I like seeing her brilliant mind at work. I’d support her either way.”I glanced at Amelie, and she had a huge smile on her face.“Well, Alfred isn’t a billionaire, but if he were, I wouldn't lift a finger,” Fiona replied.“Fiona, you don’t lift a finger now,” Alfred chuckled.I looked at the dining room door and saw a little tiaraed head peek out.“Eliza, are you coming to visit your princess?” I asked.Amelie looked over at the door. “Queen Eliza, are you there?”Little Eliza tentatively walked into the room.Alfred had a stern look on his face. “Eliza, you know not to interrupt adult meals. Go back to your room.”Amelie stood up and headed over to Eliza. “Oh, Alfred, she’s not interrupting. She’s joining us for dessert.”Amelie scooped Eliza up in her arms and carried her to the table.“Would you like to sit on your throne, Your Majesty, or would you prefer to sit on my lap?” Amelie asked.“Can I sit

I jump up in a panic.“Amelie,” I called.No Answer.I slip on my gray sweats and head for the main floor. I hear sounds in the kitchen. She must be in there. As I round the corner, I notice it’s Trudy.“Good morning, Nathan,” Trudy smiled.“Good morning, Trudy,” I said and ran my hand through my hair.“Nathan, don’t look so disappointed to see me,” Trudy laughed.“I just thought it was Amelie in the kitchen,” I replied.“No, dear, Amelie is in the exercise room,” Trudy advised. “Go see you’re fiancée, you love-struck puppy.”I grinned at Trudy, “Thanks, Trudy.”I walked out of the kitchen and down the hall. As I approached the exercise room, I heard a familiar song, "At Last" by Etta James, playing. I smiled to myself. The door to the exercise room was open, and I leaned on the door frame. Amelie was swirli

I sighed and snuggled into Nathan. I felt him stretch behind me.“Good morning, almost Mrs. Michaels,” Nathan uttered“Good morning, almost Mr. Cavanaugh,” I joked.“Hey, that’s Dr. Cavanaugh, alright?” he teased.“So, what’s on the agenda today, future hubby?” I asked.“Well, I need to go to work, unfortunately, for a couple of hours,” Nathan replied, “but don’t fret. You will be whisked away to the spa with Tiff, Morgan, and Kimmy. Full treatment.” “Man, I have it rough,” I laughed.“I know, right?” Nathan chuckled. “Then we have a rehearsal dinner tonight at Grandfather’s place. You need to pack up because Grandfather insists that the groom does not see the bride, so you’ll all be staying at the mansion tonight.”“So excited!” I clapped my hands together.“But first,” Nathan said.There was a kno

    Amelie’s POVI packed up everything I thought I would need for the night at the mansion. It almost felt like I was packing to move. Luckily, Nathan had a bunch of suitcases in the storage room. While in the storage room, I looked through my mom’s jewelry case. I needed something old for the wedding tradition. I found a beautiful ring. I remember my mom wearing it all the time. It had an ice-blue diamond in the middle and white diamonds encircling it. It was just some costume jewelry, I’m sure of it. There is no way my father would have had enough money to buy her the real version. It was perfect, though. It sparkled like crazy. I slipped it on my right hand.After I was done packing, I texted Tiff to let her know we were ready to leave. She said she would meet us down in the parkade.I descended the stairs and saw Zander with his duffel bag and Nathan sitting on the couch.“Are you moving out?” Nathan joked. “I was just up in the bedroom and saw all the suitcases.”“Nah, I kind of lik

They feel more powerful, full of emotion and passion.Nathan ran his hands down my sides and turned me around so my back was facing him. He slowly started unclasping my corset. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was nervous. He made quick work of the corset and dropped it to the floor. Then he hooked his fingers under the sides of my lace thong and pulled them down my legs.I stand, my back exposed to him. He lingered kisses down my back as I shivered with excitement. He stepped back.“Turn around, Amelie,” He purred. “I want to devour you with my eyes.”I turned around slowly. My body was on display for him.His gaze was fixated on me, and he licked his lips.“Perfection, my love,” He said. “I’ve waited so long for this. My body has ached for you.”He picked me up, moved to the side of the bed, and gently

    Nathan’s POVAt the same time and with the same words, we spoke.“I need to tell you something.”We both look at each other. How weird is it to say the exact same thing at the exact same time?“Ladies first, Amelie,” I said.“Are you sure?” Amelie asked.“Yes, please. What do you have to tell me?”“Nathan, I’ve been trying to find the words to tell you something for weeks. “ I finally found the words, but then I lacked the courage,” Amelie said, turning to me. “Now I think I have both. I need to say it, regardless of the outcome, because I can no longer live with this secret. I can’t keep it secret for the next three years. I can’t let it consume my heart.”Amelie looked down at the ground and wrung her hands together. Her head bowed like a scared little kitten.“Amelie,” I said, lifting her chin and gazing into her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know,” Amelie spoke. “It’s just hard to put into words.”I reach for a stray piece of hair on her face and tuck it beh

    Nathan’s POVAfter the garter and bouquet toss, I excused myself to head to the washroom. Fuck. I swear, as I gripped the garter with my teeth, I could smell Amelie’s arousal through her lace panties. It drove me fucking primal. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want her. I’m praying she feels the same way when I tell her tonight.I came back to the reception and found my mother talking to Samuel. He looked really uncomfortable, so I started walking towards him, but before I could intervene, Tiff swooped in.“Sweetie,” Tiff said, grabbing Samuel’s arm. “Can we dance now?”Samuel looked at Tiff and smiled. “Vivian, do you mind if I leave you so I can dance with my girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” My mother asked.“Yes, Tiff is my girlfriend,” Samuel grinned.“Oh, go ahead, you two,” Mother responded.Tiff dragged Samuel off to the dance floor.“Mother,” I stated as I walked up to her. “Are you having a good time?”“Yes, Nathaniel. It’s a lovely wedding,” she expressed.I glanced over

Now, however, is not the time to think about that. I want to concentrate on Amelie.“Oh my gosh!” Amelie exclaimed. “The cake is amazing!”Patricia was standing there and smiled widely at Amelie’s comment.“I’m so glad you like it, Amelie,” Patricia acknowledged.Amelie, of course, had to hug Patricia.“What layer is the chocolate?” I asked.“It’s the middle tier,” Patricia responded. “I thought that would be the tier you would want to cut since it’s your mom’s recipe.”“Oh, Patricia, that’s so incredibly thoughtful of you,” Amelie expressed.“Now the big question is, smush or no smush?” I laughed.“Well, I would say no smush for Amelie. We don’t want to get any on her dress,” Patricia said. “Maybe a little smush for you, Nathan. Then Amelie can kiss it off?”“That works for me,” Amelie giggled

    Amelie’s POVI couldn’t believe Carrington had done that for me. My dream of giving back to the community was coming true.I returned to my seat, and I was literally shaking from emotion. Nathan knew just what to do. He hugged me tight.“I know this is overwhelming,” he said. “Just center yourself and let the emotions out.”Nathan always knew what to say to make me feel better. I clung to him, and he held me as if he would never let me go.“Feeling a bit more level?” Nathan asked.“Yes, thank you. It’s just so much,” I replied.“I know. Grandfather can be over the top sometimes,” Nathan stated.“Oh, really? I know a certain someone who seemed to pick up that Michaels trait as well,” I giggled.“Guilty as charged,” Nathan chuckled. “Are you ready to make a brief statement to our guests as a couple? I’ll do all the talking if you’d like.”“Yes, my hubby,” I advised.“Ok, my wifey,” Nathan responded.We walked up to the podium.“Hi, Everyone, my wife,” Nathan paused and smiled at me, “an

I took a quick look around as Desiree finished the finishing touches. The room looks spectacular, and the lighting gives off an icy blue hue. My glance is brief, though, as the only thing I want to look at right now is Nathan. He is smiling the biggest grin I’ve ever seen. He’s also staring at me.We make our way to the middle of the dance floor. The dance floor looks like ice. It’s raised plexiglass with blue underlighting.Nathan twirls me out and then pulls me in close. "At Last" by Etta James starts u

I couldn’t wait to get back to his sister, however.Tonight is going to be amazing. I already decided I’m not going to drink much at the reception. I want to be sober when I tell her how I feel tonight. I’m really hoping she feels the same way, or at least is starting to feel the same way. I won't pressure her, either. It doesn’t matter about the sex. I'd love to be with her, but I’m willing to wait until she’s ready because I want her first time to be special. Amelie deserves that.Zander and I are walking back from the garage, and I can’t help by feel giddy that I can hug Amelie when I see her.We walk into the grand hall, and I look around.

I pounced on her, hugged her, and kissed her aggressively. I swear she swooned because it felt like I was holding her up.“Hey!” Grandfather said. “Save that for the wedding night!” Then he laughed.Amelie and I broke apart, both of us breathing rapidly.“Well, we should get on our way,” I advised. “Your style team is waiting for you at the hotel. Did you decide when you want to change your dress?”“Desiree basically said that they will announce our entrance, and we can have our first dance,” Amelie advised. “Then they will have a short welcome speech for everyone.” I’ll run off with Morgan to change quickly into the second dress.”“That sounds perfect,” I replied. “I love you in this dress.

The style team is waiting in the room to refresh your makeup and hair for the photos.“Oh, thank you, Carrington,” Amelie stated.“Ahem,” Grandfather looked at her.“I mean, Grandfather,” Amelie smiled and kissed him on the cheek.“That’s more like it,” he grinned.Amelie kissed me on the cheek and headed for the dressing room.“So,” Grandfather said. “How do you feel?”“Like a trillion dollars,” I grinned.“Amelie is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime girl,” Grandfather announced. “Oh, by the way, the surprise gift you got Amelie for Christmas was just delivered.”“Fantastic!” I said joyfully. “Amelie will be over the moon.”“I’m sure she will,” Grandfather replied. “I have a special present for her, too.”“You do?” I questioned.
