Natalia woke up Sunday morning and stretched. Her body was sore. Who knew having so much sex was more of a workout than going to the gym? She was wrapped in Hayden's arms and rolled over until she faced him. He was softly snoring and had some stubble on his face, making him look even more handsome. As she watched him sleep, she was conflicted. What if all they had was one amazing weekend? Would he come to his senses on Monday morning and realize he doesn't want anything more with her? She frowned as she thought about how fast things escalated between them. Was she too quick to give her heart away? "Hey, what's wrong?" Hayden woke up and saw the sadness on Natalia's face. He leaned down and kissed her hoping to cheer her up. She was smiling when he pulled away. "I was thinking that you may wake up tomorrow morning, go to the office, and decide that you were wrong about wanting to start anything with me." She was always honest about what she was thinking. "Tomorrow

As the car stopped, Natalia looked around. They were in a part of the city she wasn't familiar with. When Hayden helped her out of the car, she looked at the restaurant that looked like it was from another era. It was made of grey stone with small windows and a large, heavy wooden door. The front and top were covered in ivy, making the building look almost hidden. "Wow, I like this place just from the outside," Natalia said as Hayden took her hand. He smiled when he opened the door. This was his favorite restaurant. It had a romantic atmosphere that he thought was perfect for their date. "Their food is excellent. I usually sit at the bar when I come here because I always come alone." She looked over at him with a light in her eyes. "This seems like an extremely romantic place to eat alone." Natalia looked around as they walked into the dimly lit restaurant. It was rustic Italian, and there were candles on every table. It was crowded, but there were still a few empty spots. Mos

Hayden walked Natalia to the elevator and gave her a long kiss before letting her go. He wanted to make sure that there was no doubt in the minds of others that she was his. After the doors shut, he walked back to the waiting car and went to his office. Natalia's face was flaming red as she felt the stares of those on the elevator. She loved that Hayden was letting the world know they were in love, but she didn't like being in the news due to her personal life. When she finally got to her floor, she walked off the elevator, and her entire staff was waiting for her with smiles. Everyone started clapping and cheering when she walked in, which embarrassed her even more. "I'm sure you have seen the news. Yes, Hayden Sumner and I are seeing each other. Also, we are going to become business partners. When we come across a company wanting to liquidate, we'll refer them to Sumner Enterprises. When they have a company that wants to be saved, they will refer them to us. We should be getti

Hayden and Natalia were on their way to the apartment when he received a text message. He groaned when he read it, and Natalia looked at him in question. "What's wrong?" She asked. "My mom wants me to go to their house for dinner. She won't let up even though I told her I'm busy." He had no desire to see them and listen to them complain about his relationship. Natalia got a mischievous grin on her face. "Don't disappoint your parents. Do you think they would mind one more for dinner? How about I go with you?" Hayden laughed before leaning down to kiss her. "Great idea. I'll text her back and tell her I'll be there. We'll let it be a surprise that I won't be alone." He quickly sent his text as the car came to a stop. When they got upstairs, they took a quick shower and dressed for dinner. Hayden wanted to go early so they could get back home. He wore a pair of black pants with a white button-up shirt. Natalia was in a dark blue dress that came to her knees. "

Three days later, Hayden and Natalia were packing his belongings in his apartment to move into hers. They had already signed the updated lease that added him as a co-tenant. While placing his knick-knacks in boxes, Natalia found pictures of him when he was a child. She smiled, looking at them and her mind went to the future, wondering if they had children would their son look like a young Hayden? "What are you smiling at?" He came up behind her, looking over her shoulder. Hayden saw a picture of himself playing baseball when he was about eight years old. "I found these old pictures of you. You were a cute child." Natalia wondered where he stood on having kids one day. "I was at a baseball camp in that picture. Those were some of the best days of my life. Anything that got me out of my parent's house was a good time. Do you like kids?" Hayden thought about Natalia walking around with his baby in her belly, and it excited him more than he wanted to admit. He would like
