All Chapters of Taking A Chance On Life: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Working at the company, I enjoy my new routine in my day. Wake up, shower, skincare and dress for my day. Doing my hair, was always simple, let it out to dry then straightened it before leaving. Having breakfast was a family affair all were present for breakfast and all were present for dinner that's what I had missed over the years. Talking through issues I found hard, my brothers would always offer solutions and when I tried their method it would work. Now as I sat around with my siblings every morning, depending on who has what meeting with whom would we defer who went where and for me it worked. I got to tag along with each of them and help with the design of what the client wanted and as they could do all the talking and I would be able to put words to paper, ensuring the best of the clients wishes to be incorporated into each design of all the projects. As I sat in my office, staring out my window at the clear scene in front of me. It had been a week since I had been refusing

I got more comfortable around Devon that I didn't expect as, we have very busy lives and yet I still find him gracing me with himself. Staring as his posture is casual as he drives us again someone where he swears he found. It had been two weeks since Devon Tyler finally stamped his mark in public as he fed me at the last banquet, came to my house every weekend to whisk me away on bonding time. When I decided I was ready to see what he was all about, he kept our conversation easy, and constant that I didn't feel awkward staring at him. I enjoyed learning new things I wasn't aware of, he was easy to talk too and who knew he was a brainy box with heaps of knowledge. To the outside world this beautiful man was a tyrant in line of work and yet he was in public being a gentle giant just for her to give him attention. I gained to trust him, the years of rivalry yet all changed when I nearly got married and he didn't know what he would do if I tried gong through with it. Again the old hab

As I had taken the next few days off, Devon has made his mission to stamp his mark on me by ensuring we had not left the bed only to shower, eat and bathroom. He was insatiable that he would take me several times a day just to feel satisfied. Leaving me satisfied, relaxed and sleeping most times. Waking up I would be hungry and thirsty that I felt my safety blanket return, the fact that he had that effect on me even as a kid I became aware of my surroundings at a young age. The food he would cook, would be perfectly picked and matched amazingly. The sirloin steak was made medium and mouthwatering aroma from the caramelized onions fresh made kumara and potato chips, a beautiful green salad served with my favorite hollandaise sauce I never thought anyone outside my family knew that. The days all blurred together as he kept us in his bubble, his apartment. He restricted no access until he says so no one can just enter. The length he has gone to give me the best part of him has made me

Returning home for the day as we had family visitors and my mother demanding me home with or without Devon. I had shared my news in the morning chat with the family of my engagement and I loved that it was not planned but the accomplishment I felt had heightened my euphoria of the moment. My family were cracking jokes about Devon's sly tactics and doing it without them and if he thought he whisked me out of the country he would get a good initiation into the family. After letting them know that at the moment I have no date booked and we will do that at a later date. The evening was lovely especially since I found myself more tired then usual so I had a hearty breakfast to help sustain my mornings as I kept myself busy. That afternoon as I had risen again and went to meet my family who had flown in, as I had been locked in my Von bubble they tease I forgot our family was coming for a week. My mother's eldest sister Rachel had come with her son Lance, his wife Jade and her daughter Sa

As the day rose, I found myself up at seven am, showered, dressed and ready for my day. As I woke Devon up to get himself showered and ready for breakfast as I made my way downstairs to see my brother's up and serving breakfast with a steaming hot mug of coffee. "Morning family," I smiled as I entered the kitchen greeting both my brothers "Morning Ale, is Von up?," Maverick asked as I nodded "He's in the shower he will be down soon," I spoke as they nodded sitting down, blessing our meal before we consumed it. The meal was scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, sausages and hash browns with a tub of hollandaise sauce for me as I absolutely love hollandaise sauce on my morning eggs. Devon entered greeting my brothers as he grabbed himself a plate before he joined us at the table. "Today is the same as yesterday and the little ones have been split into teams to head to the pool with five adults with them. The young adults have been split into teams to referee the games as the teens can't seem
