“Here, let me take her,” Hailey said, popping out from nowhere and smiling big at me.
“Bea, beautiful Bea, I could barely go a year without you in my life,” he said. “Seriously, one day more, and I was pretty sure I was going to lose it. I can’t think of anyone on this earth that I would rather spend my life with, grow old with, and flutter off into the stars with. So, please, please, will you be my wife?”
“Yes,” I shouted out in a mixture of laughter and tears. “Of course, I will.”
Cameron stood up from the ground and scooped me into his arms, tears flowing down his cheeks. I wrapped my arms around him tightly, feeling every ounce of my love for him beating in my chest. He sat me down and softly kissed my lips, pulling away and slipping the beautiful diamond ring onto my finger. I shook my head as it sparkled in the rays of light cascading through the branches. Hailey walked over smiling, and
handed me Lily, kissing me on the cheek. I beamed from ear to ear and then gasped as Lily muttered “dada” under her breath.
I looked up at Cameron and smiled big as he pulled us both into a hug. This was everything I had ever dreamt about. I had the man of my dreams, I lived in the most beautiful place ever, and I had an amazingly smart and beautiful daughter. Fate had finally gone and done it, proving me wrong and bringing everything I ever wanted into my life, in a messy but perfect package. I looked up into Cameron’s light brown eyes, and my heart fluttered all over again, like the first time we met.
“I love you, Bea,” he said.
“I love you, too, forever,” I replied.
First Time with the Major
Blurb
Molly
I think he wants to control me.
My life is comfortable, predictable and boring….
Until,
That guy next door walks into my café..
He says he is new in the town.
And I wonder if he is experienced with…..women.
Those hard abs under that crisp shirt make me wonder how HARD I could make him.
Those Greek God like looks make me want to surrender.
And that voice…
My world turns upside down.
As he whispers my name.
But how can I do this?
Should I let go of the fears from my past and try and venture into the unfamiliar future that awaits me?
Should I let this guy control my desires….and my life?
Chapter 1
Molly
I laughed as I unlocked the door to the shop, giving my best friend Noel a sharp look. “I can’t believe you told him that. You were on a date and he was being decent. We don’t have a lot of men in this little town, so why run off the ones that are here?”
“I will not have some man ordering for me at a restaurant. I’m capable of making a proper decision for myself.” She leaned down to slide the muffins she’d made into the display case carefully, tossing her red ponytail over her shoulder.
This was our coffee shop, called Mountain Brew. Being that we lived in Mountain Home, it certainly wasn’t original but it fit the theme of our little home. We were surrounded by mountains after all and a lot of our customers made a living from those beautiful peaks. I thought the shop was cute with tables and couches sprinkled around the bright, spacious room. I had the idea of adding some bookshelves and taking in donated used books from people in town to give customers something to do when they were here. There were a lot of poor people living around here that didn’t even have books to begin with, so we could provide that. Noel had agreed to the idea, but I knew that she wasn’t thrilled with it.
