I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
The fun started before we even got on the jet. We were in the limo when Daniel asked my friends, “Why didn’t you ladies tell me she likes going to flea markets?” Lacey groaned as she put her hand on her forehead, “I was hoping you grew out of that phase. She used to drag us through flea markets every weekend.”Angela groaned, “I would spend the whole day on Sunday to rest my feet! All so she could ‘turn trash into treasure’.” Daniel laughed at Angela’s air quotes and mocked my tone of voice as she quoted my favorite saying. He asked, “Did you ever see her finished projects?” Lacey answered, “Oh, she has talent. That storage unit is full of her creations. The mirror was the one that astonished me.” Angela gasped, “That mirror was freaking awesome! It would be perfect for a rustic theme.”Daniel asked, “Is that your style, love?” I blushed, “I always imagined myself in a log home, on a horse ranch. That has always been what I wanted.” Angela asked, “So why did you buy your building?” I
On Friday afternoon, I was sketching a bracelet while the idea was fresh on my mind when I asked Daniel, “When are we leaving for New York City?” He looked up from his laptop, “I thought we would leave after dinner, this evening. Angela and Lacey already know.” I laughed, “Why didn’t I know? I need to pack.” He smiled, “Because I figured we would pack at the same time.” I laughed, “I guess you’re right. Plus, it is just a weekend, so there isn’t a lot to pack.”e smileHDaniel asked, “Is there anything specific you would like to do while there?” I shrugged, “I’m not really sure. I will defer to you on that.” He asked, “You don’t know what you want to do? I know you have that meeting with Jace and Tony tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, but there is nothing you want to do tonight?”I chuckled, “There is one thing, but you are going to laugh.” He asked, “What is it?” I smiled, “I would love to try Wahlburgers.” He laughed, “Of course, you want to try another burger.” I slapped his arm play
I spent the next hour helping them choose the fabrics they would need, then I spent the next eight hours measuring my friends, cutting fabric and sewing the gowns and capes. I asked the ladies if they wanted ties and pocket squares to match their dresses and they agreed. I finished those quickly and then I was done. I asked them to try them on, and they went to the bathroom to change.While they were in the bathroom, Daniel got home and he had Victor and Theodore with him. I had my hair in a messy bun and I was exhausted, but I felt pretty good, otherwise. Daniel took one look at me and rushed to me. He looked at me with concern, “Are you feeling okay?” I nodded, “Yeah. I feel fine. I’m just tired. That’s all.” I took Daniel’s hand and led him to where his father and brother stood.The ladies came out of the bathroom and I smiled as they modeled their gowns. Victor gasped, “Are those your designs?” I nodded, “I just drew them while Daniel and I were at the beach house last weekend.” H
The next morning, I woke up feeling better than I had in a while. I looked at my bedside table, then I started feeling that yucky morning nausea. I sat up and noticed I was out of crackers. I ran to the bathroom and started throwing up. As soon as it started, I heard footsteps running toward me, then hands pulling my hair back. I love that he does that for me.He apologized, “I’m sorry, love. I forgot about your ginger ale.” As soon as the current wave was done, I sighed, “It’s not your fault, love. I’ll be fine. I just need to puke up my soul and I will be fine.” Daniel laughed, “I’m sure it feels that way.” I nodded as another wave started.When I felt like I was finally done, I stood up and hugged Daniel tightly, “Thank you, babe. You have no idea how much that means to me.” He chuckled, “It’s fine. It’s part of my job.” I smiled then sighed, “I need to brush my teeth.” I walked to the sink and started brushing my teeth while Daniel got in the shower. As soon as I was done, I took
Lacey and Angela looked at me and we all laughed. I asked, “Did he talk about me?” Jace chuckled, “All. The. Time. We probably know you as well as he does by now.” I laughed and looked at Daniel. He had a goofy grin on his beet red face and even his ears were turning red, “I can’t help it. I have loved you for years.” I chuckled, “I think it’s cute.”We all sat down and I started noticing that Jace and Tony were watching Lacey and Angela with great interest. It looked like the feeling was mutual too. So, I decided to help my girlfriends out when I asked the guys, “So, what do you do?” Jace answered, “I’m a precious stone broker. We admired your equipment downstairs. It looks like you are all set up. Do you have a diamond drill and saw?” I nodded, “I have those attachments.” He smiled, “Sweet.”Tony answered, “Jace and I own the brokerage firm. We travel to mines all over the world to look for precious stones that are responsibly mined. We refuse to buy stones from companies who use sl
When we finished looking at all three buildings, Daniel chose the last option, as Angela predicted. Daniel shook Angela’s hand, “Thank you so much for your help. A half-million dollars for all that space is a steal. The fact that it’s so close to Harley is amazing. You have no idea how much I appreciate it.”I smiled widely at Daniel and agreed, “Yes, thank you for keeping him so close. I couldn’t imagine him not being able to get to me if something happened with the babies.” Angela smiled, “You’re very welcome. I knew that would be the perfect option for you.” She had been walking to our penthouse when she stopped, turned, and asked, “Wait. Babies? As in more than one?”Daniel and I started laughing and I nodded, “Twins. One was hiding behind the other during the first ultrasound.” Angela asked, “Does Victor know?” Daniel chuckled, “He was there when we got the news. I thought he was going to pass out.” Angela laughed, “I guess you will need another furniture set for the babies.” I s
