My younger sister just got married. Her best friend just got married. Marriage was definitely in the background of my mind. As soon as I saw her, it jumped into the foreground. Now, I am laying here with the woman of my dreams in my arms, and I couldn't be happier.
She might think that this is a one-night stand but what she doesn't know is that I am never letting her go. I know that she didn't believe me when I told her that this will never be over, but I have a plan to make her see that we are meant to be.
I run my fingers through her silky blonde hair, arranging it, so it is splayed out on her back. It looks like a sexy golden halo. I almost want to wake her up just so I can be inside her tight little pussy again. Damn, that was the most amazing thing I have ever felt. I know that is a feeling I will chase for the rest of my life. I grow hard at the memory of filling her hopefully unprotected pussy.
I kiss her temple before grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch and throw it over the both of us. Looking at my watch, I see that it is now one in the morning. Happy New Year’s to me I think to myself as I bring her closer to me.
This year is going to be the start of something amazing. I can feel it in my bones. While I am looking down at her beautiful face, she wrinkles her adorable nose in her sleep and takes a deep breath. She sighs and snuggles deeper into my chest. I smile and drift asleep to the sound of her relaxed breathing.
When I wake up, I expect her to still be sleeping next to me. Instead, I am alone in my boring office, and there is no sign that she was ever actually here. I would’ve thought that I would have d
reamed her up if not for the fact that I see a pair of red Louboutin’s next to my bar. I quickly get up and throw on my pants. She couldn't have gotten that far, especially without her shoes. I do a quick sweep of the space making sure she isn't in the bathroom or something before I determine she isn't in the apartment.
The cleaning crew must have come already, as the condo is already sparkling clean and all the food and booze are put away. I run to the elevator and hit the lobby button. I head down to the lobby of my building looking around frantically trying to find my little Dollface. If she isn’t here, I am going to have to go into stalker mode and try and find her over in Kissing Junction.
I finally spot her sitting on the plush couch next to the front entrance looking at her phone. I quickly walk over to her. “Where are you going baby?” I ask looking down at her. Trying to look like I wasn't just freaking the fuck out. She gives me a little smile before saying “This was real nice Matt, but I have to go.”
“It’s cute you still think that this was just one-night baby, but you couldn’t be more wrong,” I say crossing my arms over my chest. It is the first time I notice that I am not wearing a shirt and my pants aren't even buttoned.
“Were you going to chase me to Kissing Junction dressed like that?” She asks in a sassy voice. I ignore her question because I damn well would have but I don’t want her thinking that I am a crazy motherfucker.
“Were you really leaving my apartment without your three-thousand-dollar shoes? Did you want to leave me that badly?” I ask, feeling like my heart might explode.
“I, uh, think it’s for the best. You live here? This was your party? Can I have my shoes back?” She asks holding out her hands.
“No.”
“No? Did you just say no? They are my damn shoes.” She asks incredulously.
“You can have them back when you marry me. I will be holding them hostage until that day.” I say. I was not kidding when I said I had a plan and I was sticking to it.
“You are kind of an asshole, you know that? Blackmail is a crime.” She says as she glares at me.
“Women have accused me of worse,” I say with a shrug and a little laugh.
“Wow, that is something to be proud of Matt. What else do they accuse you of? I’m not sure I even want to know.” Her phone dings. “My ride's here. I am gonna go now. Enjoy my shoes, they go great with your coloring.” She says as she exits the building and into the waiting Uber. She takes my heart with her sassy ass.
I may not know where she works or what her full name is, but Kissing Junction is a small ass town and I have to go to my sisters for a BBQ, later on, today anyway. I’ll ask her if she knows my Dollface. She may think she got away, but she couldn't be more wrong. With my plan in place, I head up to my apartment and start to get ready for the day.
I gotta make my girl fall in love with me. In the same soul-deep way I fell for her the moment I saw her standing in my doorway.
Chapter Four
Matt
“I will have that IPA.” I hear her. The voice of the woman that has consumed my every thought since I met her twelve hours ago as I make my way into my sister's kitchen. I must be going insane. There is no way she’s here.
“That is my brother’s favorite beer.” Candy says with a chuckle and goes back to prepping what appears to be a vegetable tray. Jules pops the top like a pro and takes a sip making a hum of appreciation.
“Your brother has good taste.”
“That I do Dollface.”
She quickly whips her head around and looks at me like she's seen a ghost. “You’re Candy’s brother? I don’t know why I didn’t put that together earlier.”
“Yep, all day, every day,” I say before walking over to Candy giving her a big hug. “Hey Sis, how are you feeling? Nausea starting to lessen since you came to the ER last week? Did you go talk to Dr. Prescott about prescribing you those meds?”
“Oh, my fuck, yes! I have actually been able to keep food down. You know Evan he called him and made him see me the next morning. I am pretty sure he scared the shit outta the nurse with all his growling.” she says as she places her hand over her tiny baby bump. Juliet is looking at us like she is dying to say something she holds it in for ten seconds before she blurts out
