we’re going to keep building. I want to make us a family, and you didn't know your mom either. I thought that this was a chance for us.”
“Baby, you and your mom were a family, weren't you?” I nod my head again. God, he’s right. We were. “My brother and dad love you.”
“I love them, too.” They’re so unlike my family with how they’re warm and affectionate. “You gave me your family and I didn’t have anything to give you.”
“All I need is you, dream girl, you know that. The rest we’ll make together.” A tear slips free and he kisses it.
“I was mad because people online are saying the worst stuff about you. I think my father is spreading lies.”
“You think I care?” I laugh a little, knowing he doesn't but still it bugs me. “All I care about is what you think. Do you think I’m crazy?”
“A little.” I try to fight a smile, but I can’t help myself. “About me.”
“Obsessed,” he adds.
“I know how you are. We might not be married, but I’ve been with you these past few years and nothing that’s come from you this last week is shocking.”
“I went a little—”
“Stop.” I put a finger over his mouth. He kisses the tip before giving it a small nibble. “If you’re crazy then I’m crazy, too. I love how you are with me. You make me feel wanted and loved.”
“Because you’re my dream girl,” he says then kisses me.
I won’t be leaving this bed until it’s time to say I do if Daniel has his way.
Chapter 8
Daniel
The wedding day…
I pace back and forth in front of the large windows and my brother watches me with amusement. “You act like she’s not going to show up.” I turn to shoot him a look that would make most people back down, but he doesn't even flinch.
“Leave him alone,” my father tells Steven, but he won’t listen because he’s having too much fun with all of this.
“She’s already here,” I remind him.
I know because I brought her with me. No way were we going to spend the night before the wedding apart. Yet I still pull my phone out and check on her location.
“She in the next room! Jesus, Daniel!” Steven laughs.
I don't hide my overbearing obsessive ways, but maybe I should with everyone other than my wife. Thankfully I lucked out in more ways than one when it came to her because she loves how much I need her.
My phone rings in my hand and I answer it instantly. “Tell me it’s handled,” I say before anyone can speak.
“It’s done, sir. As long as you’re on schedule it will go off perfectly.”
I let out a sigh of relief. “Thanks,” I say before ending the call.
My dad walks over to me and hands me a drink. I try to shake it off, but this time he gives me the same look I gave my little brother moments ago and I take the drink from him.
“I’d normally enjoy seeing you worked up, but you’re putting me on edge. Drink this and calm the fuck down.” I do as I’m told and shoot the whiskey back before I set the glass down onto the table next to me.
“You don’t think her family will try and show up, do you?” my brother asks as he pours himself another one.
“No.” There’s no way they’d do anything to cause a scene, and besides they wouldn't make it within ten feet of this place. We’re away from the city in a quaint hotel that’s located in a charming little town. I didn't even know this place was here until my dream girl found it. I have security hidden everywhere to make sure there are no interruptions and nothing is going to stop this wedding from happening.
After we had our talk, I made love to her again until I passed out. When I woke up, she was running around and changing all of the wedding plans she’d made. Now it’s totally different than before and this is totally her. Since we arrived here yesterday, I could tell she’s fallen in love with the small town and it has the wheels in my head turning.
I enjoyed watching her buzz around our home in the city issuing orders to get ready for today. I sat back and watched her work and did as I was told whenever she asked for something. Each time I got a kiss. I didn't know planning a wedding could be so enjoyable
