closet extra luxurious. Do you like it?” I could only nod barely comprehending what is happening now. “Good, you have no idea how happy that makes me. I’ll have the movers get your things situated and don’t worry about anything I’ll make sure this closet is full to the brim with apparel that suits your taste. Now on to the room. Obviously, you'll sleep with me since we’re a couple, so there’s no need for you to have your own room like you asked about in the car. You can have whichever side of the bed you want Angel.
Oh yeah and finally the code to the doors are 98543 and the alarm code is 783216. If those are too hard for you to remember please feel free to let me know and I’ll change them so something more suitable to you. Since the movers won’t be here until Monday shall we relax and have some dinner? I was just about to start cooking when I called you.”
Again, I just nod in a daze as Channing ushers me to the bed and sets me down, taking off my shoes. Soon I’m laid up in his… our bed with a remote in one hand and a decaf cappuccino in the other. I’m tucked in so snuggly with a heating pad on my feet as I wonder if I’m some luxury hotel resort and not ‘home’.
“You sit there and relax Angel I’ll bring dinner right up to you. I’m sure today was tiring enough for you. I don’t want you to lift a finger other than to call me if you need something.” I part my lips to protest but he smothers that with a searing hot kiss. “Welcome home Angel.” Before I can say anything, he hurriedly exits the room. What in the hell just happened?
Priceless
Channing
“Welcome home Angel.” Before she could say anything, I run out of the room and skip in the hallway. She’s here! I did it! I got my wife to stay with me. This is a dream come true!
In the kitchen I put on the truffle lobster and mac and cheese. It’ll only take about and hour to make which is more than I wanted to do tonight but I have to do something special for our union tonight.
I whistle while cooking, feeling the happiest I’ve felt in my whole life. As a kid who grew up with nothing, I never thought it would be possible for me to achieve this type of happiness. I owe it all to my cousins Teagan and Zane. Without them Landen and I would still be living in poverty with our father.
When those two showed up in the middle of the night like beasts, they took one look at us and told us that we will never live like that again. Thankfully they kept their promise gave us a place to stay with a guardian and put us through private school and properly educated us. At times it was lonely because they couldn’t allow us to stay with them because of some unspoken rule.
They asked us about what we wanted to do with our lives and asked us for business plans. After helping us tweak those plans for maximum growth they and their good friend Domitilio, who we were not permitted to meet, put down one hundred percent of the money for our company. They gave us full control but still helped us manage it if we ran into a stump. Even more they never asked for one red cent.
When we offered to share profits with them and to meet the Domi guy, we were told to forget about it and to never say his name again. Of course, we thought that was weird and thought they had business with the underworld. How little we knew back then. It wasn’t until Landen and I met Angel and Nia that we understood what underworld they were really a part of. Even now it’s hard to believe and reflect on everything we found out.
After I mix together the mac and cheese, I check on the lobster while mixing together the garlic and butter. Sprinkling a bit of salt into the macaroni and cheese I stir in the ingredients and set it aside. I shake my head at how much my wife loves her some seafood. Putting all the food to cook, I check my phone then go upstairs to check on my wife.
I smile when I see she’s still laying where I left her.
