As I waited for her to answer the door to take her to the family Sunday, I began to feel anxious because I had not seen her with accessories or jewelry. A rose gold watch and a pair of Cartier earrings were all she wore. We hadn't been out to events together and I didn't pay enough attention the day we met to get an idea if he was wearing that kind of thing.My hands were behind my back, hiding the white paper bag with the Chanel logo on it . I wanted to surprise her."Mr. Dempsey, punctual like a gentleman," he joked as he saw me standing in front of the door. He was wearing black jeans, with a white slouchy mid-shoulder jumper, Black & White ballet flats , and his hair was loose in soft waves. He was focused on checking that he wasn't wearing anything other than the rose gold watch. And since I don't want to cause bad impressions, I'm ready to go,” he added to my silence.Men generally don't see details like what a woman is wearing because we're more concerned with other things abou

Entering the event was different than the other times. The photographers did not hesitate to use the cameras to immortalize my appearance with a woman after many years attending alone. Then we have the looks, which weren't subtle at all. The difference in age was noticeable, that we were both from different firms, and the recognition of our last names. One thing I admired about Chelsea, though, was her ability to walk around holding my hand like none of it affected her. For a moment I was intimidated, but then I thought, 'fuck the gossip', after all, he wouldn't be the first or the last to notice a woman younger than him. She wasn't a prostitute or she had a dubious past. I was surprised when a woman appeared to greet her, saying that she was her old singing teacher. I was shocked when she practically begged for her help, explaining that the vocalist for the event had a mishap, and that she needed a replacement. She struggled until Chelsea relented, though mostly because the woman

So, I had a trip to London scheduled for the end of November. And that was the reason why Bradley was anxious, because he couldn't wait for this trip to check that everything was okay... Although we both knew it wasn't true.Fortunately, I had a couple more episodes that only Bradley witnessed. I think he got a dose of the reality of the situation, that my time was passing and soon there would be nothing left of the Chelsea he loved. That also bummed me out because Bradley was happy with me; we were happy together, but there was a part of him that lived in uncertainty and maybe the pressure was making him duller than he was. As if my illness consumed him. It was when I would get crazy ideas about whether he wasn't being selfish. You know, cutting off his ability to find a woman who could offer him a real future.But then he thought that he had no right to choose for him, that Bradley was solely responsible for deciding if what he was going through was worth it.We had known each other

"I told them the truth," he said with a sigh. Well…not the sex part. At least not Mom or Lucas. But I explained that Claire has a drug problem and that she had signed me responsible. That she would be taking care of Sunny while the state finds a foster family. His muscles tensed as she tightened the screws into the wood. Wow, who knew that seeing a man using tools would be so nice.He turned to see me and smiled sideways, smug when he noticed that I drool. I wrinkled the corner of my mouth in annoyance and turned my attention back to Sunny."Has Claire called you?" I asked doubtfully. If they took my daughter away from me, I'd be at the surrogate parents' door making a racket.-No. I called Social Services and they said that he had entered the rehab center. They don't allow you to have phones. Sunny dropped her interest in the putty and started playing with a toy that made cow sounds and stuff. Should she have pieces left over? Her,” she asked to himself. I looked up at the crib and i

“We could adopt, Chelsea,” I suggested, searching myself for the slightest regret, but it was like feeling an electrifying pang of hope. I know he wouldn't have our blood, but with Sunny I realize that she could love him…Chelsea frowned at me, causing a little insecurity, thinking that maybe I screwed up; but she then she lunged at me, laughing so gleefully that she made me smile back.-Really? She asked without hiding her emotion.“Of course, babe. We could apply once we get back from London,” I proposed, sitting next to her and drawing her body towards me. Or if you want to wait a little longer that's fine. I just want you to know that there are options. That we can have a family."You'll make me cry," he said, smiling, but he wasn't joking; Her eyes were crystal clear and she was struggling to keep the tears back. You are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me, you know? I thought I was going to end up alone and when I least expected you, you arrived with that serio

I breathed in Dempsey's masculine scent, treasuring the feeling that he was like a fast-charging battery. No matter how bad it was, there was something about Mr. Dempsey that had nothing to do with the expensive perfume he wore that energized me.I liked to watch him while he slept. He is one of those who falls like a stone and usually wakes up in the same position in which he lay down. He fell asleep on his stomach and at first I was surprised that he wasn't a snoring man. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he was a man who woke up very early to exercise.He was instilling in me the vein of keeping fit together. We also ran taking advantage of its exclusive residential area, with very few cars on the street or curious people.I always did more miles, but he consoled me by saying that over time the distance I could run or jog without dying of a heart attack would increase. So, from Monday to Friday we would get up at five in the morning to run and then we would use the gym. We ad

I was surprised when he picked me up like I weighed the weight of a feather, my legs wrapped around his waist, carrying us to the bathroom.He sat on the edge of the tub, with me still on top of him."We need a shower," he warned as he gently parted my legs. Do you think you can get up? she asked tenderly. I didn't see arrogance or mockery on her face, nor in her gaze; just tenderness. As an experienced man he knew it was so intense that even speaking was quite a challenge right now.I shook my head because I wasn't sure my legs weren't working properly. She carried me like a princess and placed me in the bath tub. The warm water fell on me, feeling every part of my body relax little by little.He settled behind me and I took the opportunity to rest my head on his shoulder, and allowed myself to close my eyes. She was still overwhelmed because it was those kinds of things that hurt me to forget. He wanted to tell him that he was so lucky because the memory would live on in his memory,

"Did you spend the afternoon with Galvin?" she inquired, but I heard a kind of suspicion in his tone.I nodded sighing. I wouldn't stop talking to my friend because they both had some territorial male issue.“They have to stop this thing. Both are special to me. “I was still in the shelter of his strong arms when I launched the request. Getting the feeling that nothing could go wrong as long as Dempsey held me in his hands.“I won't be the one to tell you what's wrong between me and Galvin. But I don't think he'll resolve himself until he lets go of the intensity he has for you,” he replied, kissing my hair right on the top of my head.“He tends to be a bit protective of me, but he's not a bad boy. We have been friends since we were very young. You know how this brother thing is, that none of them are the one," I murmured with a smile, remembering how bad he was with other boys.Even though he sighed in denial, I was grateful that he didn't refute my opinion, letting the topic die."I

His kisses splashed on my face, but I couldn't appreciate his gesture because I felt a little uncomfortable."Chels?" "Honey, wake up," she called softly.I winced as I tried to move my neck. My body protested trying to look at Dempsey for the simple reason that I fell asleep in the rocking chair in Sunny's old room.Clarity warned me that I had been in that room longer than it should."What time is it, Dempsey?" I asked rubbing the sore spot on my neck.-Seven in the morning. His gaze of hers was awash with tenderness. did you sleep here? she whispered. She squeezed my heart at how sad she looked. He didn't know why, but there was pain in her gaze."She hadn't been in since she left," I said. Sunny's subject was like a taboo. At least, accept to what degree it affected us that she was no longer there. I think she needed this closure, Dempsey. Recognize that she was not mine and that she is with her mother. She — she She hugged me, murmuring things like how sorry she was, and that now
