Nora I’ve never been so nervous shopping before, even when I first met Lily. I not only have to find a wedding dress, but I need to look at bridal party dresses. Alex is going to wear a suit that coordinates with Ace, Gavin, and their father. “Today we are going to kill two birds with one stone. We are going to be looking for a wedding dress and a bridesmaids dress for Lily, of course, Elizabeth you are more than welcome to look for a mother of the groom dress, and Ace doesn’t want either of you to pay a dime for it.” “What about you?” Elizabeth asked. “Ace and I have an agreement. I didn’t want him to pay for all of it so we agreed that I would cover half of my dress.” “I was about to call Ace and yell at him for including you.” I smiled at her and reassured her that this is what I wanted. “Which one of you pretty ladies is the bride?” Our dress consultant was an older female with curly blonde hair and too much foundation, but she seemed sweet, and I was just happy to have a c

Alex I am never drinking again. This is the worst hangover ever. I lay on my bed waiting for last night’s events to re-play, but I was having a hard time remembering everything. I barely remember getting a lap dance, I remember Nora helping me to the bus, but why was Nora there? I remember making a phone call. Fuck. I hope that phone call wasn’t to Nora because I confessed my love to her. I quickly sat up making myself dizzier, but I had to check my phone. My heart dropped when I saw that Nora was the last person I called, but I didn’t have time to freak out because someone was knocking on my door. I quickly through on some clean clothes before answering the door, and to my surprise Nora was standing on the other side of it. “Can we talk?” “Um, yeah.” I moved aside and let her in. She made herself at home by taking off her shoes and curling her feet under her. “I got your call last night.” “I was afraid of that. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to complicate things.” She patte

Ace Nora was mortified after we got caught. It took me a good five minutes to convince her to come out of the laundry room with me. I finally used it’s not fair to our guests’ card for her to come out. I told her they were waiting to eat because of us, and to make matters worse, Lily was there waiting on us with a smile on her face. “You guys couldn’t wait, could you?” “I’m sorry that I couldn’t keep my hands off my wife. If you were me, you wouldn’t be able to wait either.” “Can we not talk about this.” Nora chimed in. “I’m ready to get food and put this behind us.” Lily was still laughing as we walked off towards the area of the backyard where the food was being served. We had a table that was reserved for me and Nora with tables next to us that sat our party and our parents. I made sure to get Nora a plate of food. I wanted to make sure she eats. She has a habit of getting too busy to eat. “Where are you guys going on your honeymoon?” My mother asked. “I actually do

Nora The first thing I did when we got back from our honeymoon was visit Alex. Aubrey had gone into labor while we were gone, and I was tired of seeing the baby through photos and wanted to meet her in person. Their daughter was beautiful, the perfect combination of Alex and Aubrey’s facial features, and her name was even more precious, Paisley Claire. “She is so adorable.” I cooed at Paisley as she wrapped her hand around my finger. She was tiny and I was getting emotional. “I can’t believe you’re a father, Alex.” “Me, either. I’m so fucking terrified. Aubrey is probably going to kill me for telling you this while she is sleeping, but we want you to be Paisley’s Godmother.” “Really?” My heart leapt into my throat, and I wanted to cry. I always joked with him about being the godparent, but I didn’t know he would actually do it. “Yes, we thought you and Aiden would be perfect role models for her.” “Is Aiden coming to visit?” “He’ll be here tomorrow.” “We should al

Nora “Can I buy you a drink?” “No thank you, I’m waiting for someone.” “That’s a pity, a pretty lady like you shouldn’t be waiting. Allow me to keep you company until he shows up.” “I guess one drink won’t hurt.” “What is your name?” “You can call me Jade, what should I call you?” The gentleman gives me a smirk. “You can call me Ace.” I couldn’t help but smile. My stomach still had butterflies like it did on the first day I met Ace at this club. We decided we should go on a date night there since it’s been a while. The club has been more popular since Gavin went public. He had to get a larger place, and people have to sign up for reservations in advance if they weren’t part of the VIP program, and with Ace being part of the investors we are part of the VIP program. “Care to dance Jade?” Ace held out his hand and led me to the dance area. Tonight was playing out in almost the same way as our first night together. He spun me around, so my back was against his che
