I was reading a book, on my favorite nook in my dad's study. I used to sit hours here when I was little, waiting on him while he was working.Brenton left last night, said he was going to pick me up for breakfast this morning. Then we would go to his studio afterward. I sighed, as I had to go and get ready in a couple of minutes looking at the clock.I stepped out of my shower and decided to wear an ethnic dress, finished off with heels, and my oversized purse. He called and said that he was on the driveway already.Right on time."Morning Nicolette, beautiful as always." He got out of the car and opened the door for me. He buckled me in, teasing and touching me then gave me his kiss."Let's go Brenton, or we would end up upstairs if you don't drive." I giggled."As you wish beautiful. So, I was thinking we have breakfast first, then we go to my studio. You can lo

I was up already, headed up to the kitchen, and made us a coffee.What am I doing here? I felt like I was digging my own hole. I should've been left alone. I was falling already for Brenton. With Collin, it was a puppy love, that grew into marriage over the years. When it all fell apart, I ended up in a loony bin.God! I should've stayed away from him. I was not sure I could survive if we fell apart.I looked into his bedroom, and he was still sleeping with his backside up.Shit! I'm gonna miss him.I quickly changed, got my purse and my phone. I saw his sketchbook. And start writing my note.Dearest Brenton,Please forgive me. But I can't do this, it's too much for me. I fear for my life should anything happen to us. I will cherish the time we had together. I thank you for bein

Brenton's POV"Wow, that's deep man! But, seriously Brent, you got it bad. Looks like you really care about her. I just need you to take care of yourself man. You know, underneath those bad boys tats and piercings I know you're still you." Shane lectured me."Now, I don't do hugs. So how about we go out to my club, and clear the air a bit?" He got up and threw the empty beer cans and pizza boxes in the bin."I guess I can do club, let me shower and get change, give me ten minutes. Meanwhile, you can call Trisha and tell her that I'm good." I shouted from inside my bedroom.We arrived at his club half an hour later. "Damn Shane, business is doing good for you. This place is packed. I never knew you're such a good businessman." I told him as we headed to the bar.Soon as we were at the bar, women started closing in on us. I tried to be polite, but I was just

"Nicolette?" He called me out, his voice was raspy. "Hey, you." I kissed his lips and brushed his hair with my fingers. "I've missed you, I'm so sorry about before. Please forgive me?". He wiped my tears away and smiled. "If I'd known that you will be back, I would do something drastic sooner." I slapped his arm playfully."I love you Nicolette and I've missed you too." I blushed as I remembered his parents were behind me. His father coughed. "Right then, we're going to leave you two kids alone for now. I'm going to take your mother back home to get some rest. Will be back later this evening."I moved to his other side, giving the space for his parents, to say their goodbyes. "We love you, Brenton, please don't push us out." His mom scolded his hair lovingly and kissed his temple. "Mum...not in front of Nikki please, I'm keeping my bad boy image here." He tried to laugh, but he gripped his abdomen and took a deep brea

I walked his parents out of the room and said our goodbyes, then I went to his side."Hey there Brent, I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have bailed out on you like that." I kissed him deeply caressing his hair."Oh Nikki, I'm loving your apology. Could you slide down lower and help my bed a little bit upward. I think the remote is on the table somewhere." I giggled at him, and helped him with his little mission, only to get caught by the nurse.She smiled at us, as she checked his vitals and changed the IV. She said she would be back in three to four hours, and to call her if we needed further assistance."She's gone now, come here beautiful." He grinned at me."Brenton, you need to rest baby." I scolded him."Please Nikki...I've been in this bed for days now. I'm bored, I need a distraction, I need you, I need to kiss you, to touch you.." He pleaded.
