_________________..."I can't believe she is coming home tomorrow!" Gabby was jumping around as she added the final touches to Rory's apartment. The apartment that I was moving in entirely as of today. The place had been decorated with couple stuff and pictures of the both of us everyday. It helped that Zoe had a knack for taking candid pictures at all events and somehow managed to capture one or two of ours where we weren't bickering or straight out fighting."I am so happy that she is!" Roselyn grinned as she signed with her hand for me to move our wedding photo to the left. "Perfect." She said, pretending to take a picture of it with her hands. "Alright, the place looks the part!" Kevin clapped his hands. "Very authentic."The front door swung open and Bianca and Zoe walked in, Bianca waving a folder in her hands. "Dr. Derek Mathewson, the hottest man alive despite being that bitch Ophelia's brother, has bestowed us with some fake medical reports." "Fake medical reports?" Eric
__________________..."What the actual fuck!" Ashton stared at the message on my phone. "Is this some sort of sick joke?""I don't think it is." I sighed. "But who would do this? And why?""Someone who is interested in you, of course." Eric pointed out."Or in her," Ashton said."Not in her." Gabby was quick to point out. "If they were interested in Rory, then they would not have tried to kill her. Unless it's some sick bastard who thought that if they can't have her then nobody can. But the probability is really low.""Smart-ass!" Ashton winked at Gabby who smiled in return. I turned in time to see the look on Eric's face - a look that said he was about to cut off Ashton's balls."So shouldn't we go to the police with this?" Gabby asked, turning to me as opened a can of beer. This girl really needed to stop drinking."We should.""They will probably call it a prank," Eric said. "It was a DUI case and the driver is in prison. I don't think they will be interested in digging deeper.
________________..."I don't need a bodyguard." The stubborn Aurora Lewis Keller was back and right now she was sitting at the dining table with her arms crossed across her chest and an indignant scowl on her face."It's just for a while, Ro. There is nothing to be so pissed about." Gabby looked over at me for help."Pumpkin-""Don't pumpkin me." She snapped.I shut my mouth immediately and shrugged at Gabby who was giving me a 'Are you kidding me?'I hoped she didn't think I was an idiot. Of course I was going to have my wife tailed by two men and increase security everywhere she frequented. It would have been much easier if she would allow it but if she was going to be stubborn, I had no choice but to be sneaky."It didn't take her two weeks to go back to her old self." I complained as if Rory was not sitting right in front of me. "She was blushing and giggling just yesterday. Now look at her, back to bossing me around."Rory gasped, throwing a napkin at me which I caught. "What
_______________...I suspected hearing crickets after Eric's proclamation."Why?" Was what came out of Gabby's lips after a good two minutes."You know why.""Nice," Rowan whispered, and I gave him a pointed look.He mouthed a sorry and turned back to the couple in question."Please tell me this is a joke." Gabby tilted her head, a nervous frown on her face."I could, but that will not change the truth." Eric mirrored her.Why was I so unaware of this spark between the two of them? The chemistry was all over the place. Was I truly so caught up in myself that I did not see any of this?Gabby turned to me, the expression such as if I was the cause of all this problem. "Rory, ask your stupid friend to fuck off. He is not welcome here as long as I am staying with you guys." "That sounds like a you problem." Eric seemed like he was in the mood of adding fuel to the fire. What was wrong with him?The guy had sworn off love after his last messiest breakup of all time. Maybe things had c
______________..."My sweet child. My sweet sweet child." Elizabeth Keller kissed my cheeks with the love, affection, and warmth of a mother. My memory of hers was only from the galas and charity balls we attended but from the way she behaved, it seemed as though we were really close, closer than me and my mother perhaps. "I wanted to come visit sooner but your husband wouldn't let me, saying that I would overwhelm you and scare you." She let out a laugh. "As if that was possible. You always loved me more than you loved him." "And I was right, wasn't I?" Rowan rolled his eyes, trying to get Elizabeth off of me. "Look at you latching onto her and overwhelming her. She doesn't remember you, Mom. You are a stranger right now." That was the Rowan that I knew. The one who did not care about anyone's opinion and said what's on his mind without caring what others thought.The Rowan that I had been seeing since I woke up from the coma was completely different. He only cared about me an
_________________...Ki turned two months old today. And of course, Gabby had to go and buy a huge ass cake. "She can't even eat it, you dumbass." I smacked her head as she gleamed up at it. "Her aunt will eat for her." Gabby clapped like a toddler. "Sure she will..." I rolled my eyes. "Oh my." Rory walked in with baby Ki in her arms, looking pretty in a yellow sun dress. "What's going on?""We are celebrating Ki's months and years from now on with the exact same cake that woke her mother up from a coma," Gabby announced. "Until she is old enough to tell us what kind of cake she wants." She added. I nodded. I could agree with that. "She can't eat cake or any solid food for another four months, you idiot." Rory handed Ki over to my waiting arms. "That's what I said," I told her. "I don't care. Cake is cake. Everyone should get a cake for the smallest of smallest occasions." "Are you endorsing cakes now?" Eric appeared. "Who gave him the pin to the apartment?" Gabby turned
______________..."I don't think she will be happy to see me back." Eric stood there, running his hand through his hair as I was about to put in the code for my front door."Just say 'I love you' and see her change her decision like this!" I snapped my fingers together."I don't think I am ready for that step just yet." He said.I sighed. Men are dumb. I was dumb once and now he was being dumb. It was a Canon event that could not be changed. Men and their dumbness. "Alright. But Ki turned two months today. You need to come to eat the cake. It's too huge for the refrigerator."He nodded with a small smile on his face and I opened the door.Rory and Gabby sat on the living room couch, Rory's hand on Gabby's."It seems like Gabby has gotten to know the story behind your personality as well," I whispered to him and he looked at me, panic in his eyes."I am sorry. It was only right that she knew." Rory shrugged at Eric. "I know you will be mad but it was unfair for my sister to feel th
_______________...Everything was a mess.It had been over a month since I lost my memory and woke up from a coma. But I had no flashes or echoes of my past. All the movies do is lie.If this was a movie, then I would have had one recollection of something... anything... whatsoever. But no, I was stuck in Nadaland."Lost in thought again, I see." Rowan sat down opposite me, sipping a cup of coffee and placing a glass of watermelon juice in front of me.I had such an amazing husband and all I did was suspect his intentions when I was not busy swooning over his actions and affection.It really was messed up.I needed more information."Cupcake-"Rowan splurted out his coffee back into the cup while I snorted, laughing at his shocked face."I thought you liked me calling you cupcake," I said."I do." He nodded eagerly as he placed his cup down and pointed at the glass for me to take, which I did, for his sake. "But as I said, it never caught on and you never called me that so I was sh
