Dylan-6 Months Later-“For fuck sake she is a moody sheila.” Luke says.“I will tell Sapphire you said that and we shall see how she responds.” Riley comments.Luke shoots him a glare. I shake my head at the two of them. We are having a dual baby shower/gender reveal. Riley and Janessya are the other half of this baby shower/gender reveal. They already know they are having a boy and Janessya is due any day now. My precious jewel is six months along and looks stunning with her bump. She woke up two hours later after arriving at the hospital all those months ago. I let her rest overnight before telling her that she was pregnant. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She shut down and refused to speak for hours. I was getting worried when Jack walked in and asked what was wrong. She burst into tears and told him that she was pregnant. She was pissed that we knew the night before, but didn’t tell her. Thankfully she calmed down after talking about it. I know
Riley -One Year Later- I stand here in our backyard watching the chaos unfold. We are celebrating my son, Niko’s birthday. He turns one today. I look over as I hear the door to the house open to see Sapphire and Dylan walking out. Sapphire has their eight month old son, Jayson, in her arms. He is the perfect mix of the two of them. He has blond hair, the perfect mix of Sapphire’s white blond hair and Dylan’s dark blonde hair. Jayson has his mother’s sapphire blue eyes, but you can see flakes of steel-gray in them. He is going to be a ladies man when he grows up. He flirts with all the ladies and all the ladies love him. Sapphire sets him down besides Yasmin and Jack’s twins and Niko. Niko and Jayson are only three months apart which I like. The twins and little Alaynia just turned two years a couple months ago. There are way more people here than I thought there would be, but I guess since Niko and I share a birthday it is to be expected. I walk over to where my beauti
I knew it would be hot, but I was not expecting heat like this. The humidity is killer, and I suddenly need to shower. I am just glad to be off that fucking plane. I knew the flight would be long, but I was not prepared for being on the plane for a whole fucking 22 hours. I follow the signs to where the baggage pick-up is. The only things I brought were my clothes and a few essential items I would need for school. The rest of my stuff is in the room at my grandparent's house. I have been living with them for the last two years. Dad more or less kicked me out when I turned 16. I need to stop referring to him as Dad, but he is the only father I know. He is not my biological father. He and my mother had been college sweethearts. I don't know what happened, but they split up a few months after graduation. Two years later, they ran into each other and rekindled their romance. They were both still in love with each other. Gary had a son, Riley, while he and my mother were apar
I wipe the steam from the mirror. It is the last weekend before classes start back up. I grab a towel wrapping it around my waist. I have no idea how long I stand there before someone starts pounding on the door. I shake my head as I open the door. Arlo is standing there with a disgruntled look on his face. I slide past him, heading for my room. I heard him grumble, but I was unsure what he said. I close the door to my room, but that doesn’t stop the loud bass from thumping from the floor below me. I slip on a pair of boxer briefs and then a pair of cargo shorts. I pull a dark green t-shirt over my head before slipping my feet into my trainers. We are meeting Riley and his sister at the pub. Luke and Arlo are the only two that have met her, and from what they have told us, she seems like a good person. Everyone is ready to head out as I walk into the main room. There are ten of us that live in this house. Luke, Arlo, and I decided a month or so ago that we needed to find
Well, my first week here is over. What I was expecting was far from what I was expecting. I am excited since most of my classes will challenge me in a good way. So far, I am enjoying the classes, but that will change as the semester progresses. I was anxious when Riley told me that we were going to some local pub and I would meet most, if not all, of the hockey team. I am not antisocial, but I don’t like big crowds. I was thrilled when I saw Lina snaking her way through the crowd. All the guys seemed nice. I thought my heart would punch through my chest when I saw Dylan. My brain shut down when his steel-grey eyes locked with mine. He is hands down the sexiest guy I have ever seen. He has to be about a foot taller than my 5’4” frame. His steel-grey eyes pop against his naturally lightened dark blonde hair, which is longer on the top and shaved up the sides. I felt like an idiot when I ran into him coming out of the bathroom. I thought I broke my nose on his chest, which b
As I slowly gain consciousness, I roll over and bury my face into a pillow. By the scent alone, I can tell I am in my bed. I rub the sleep from my eyes as I sit up. Yup, I am in my room. I remember leaning on someone at the pub, but my memory is blurry afterward. I walk into the kitchen to find Riley standing at the cooktop. Riley is a decent cook. I pour myself a cup of coffee as he glances at me over his shoulder. I can fully admit that Riley is hot. I can see why he enamors the girls here. “Where are you off to?” He asks. “I am going to walk around. I need to take some pictures for a class, and I want to find places around here that fit the requirements for the project.” I answer. “Ok, just remember we will have new roommates when you come home, so don’t freak out if you run into someone when you walk in.” Riley tells me. “Ok, I will be back later.” I say. I shut the door behind me as I head for the gym. I decide to get some training in before I go exploring.
It has been a week since Luke, Arlo, and I moved in with Riley and Sapphire. I am unsure what happened, but Sapphire has been distant all week. My eyes damn near popped out of my head when I walked into the kitchen and saw her standing in the kitchen wearing those tiny little shorts and a tank top. All that silky, lightly tanned skin was on display, and before I knew it, I was standing behind her with my hands on her hips. The sparks flowing through my hands when I touched her made me shiver. I smirked when I felt her shiver in my hands. I was about to slide my hands around her perfect waist when I heard the others making their way to the kitchen. I stepped back from her as the others walked into the kitchen. “Will you get your head back into practice?” Chance yells. “Piss off!” I yell back. I hear Keegan laughing like the hyena he is as I skate toward Riley. Riley had a smile on his face as I stopped beside him. I am about to say something when our coach yells at us to
My head rests on the tub's back as I soak in my bath. This weekend is damn near over, and now I am expected to attend a barbie at Dylan’s parent’s house. I tried to get out of attending this several times over the last week, but nothing I said convinced them that I wouldn’t be able to come. I climb out of the tub, wrapping a towel around me. I still can’t believe we ran into the guys at the club the other night. Lina had asked me to come over, and after that moment in the kitchen between Dyaln and me, I was more than happy to get the fuck out of the house. A shiver racks my body when I remember his lips on my neck and his hands on my bare skin. His touch left a trail of fire everywhere he touched. I knew something was up when I walked into Lina’s place, and our other friends were there. I was unsurprised when they forced me into a chair and did my hair and make-up. I was surprised when they did light makeup, but when Lina handed me that dress, I damn near had an anxiety attac
