Two of Hearts

by Alexa Jackson

  - Sir, sorry - Veronica looks a bit shocked by the presence somewhat effusive it - not had time to ...

  - Do not worry, Veronica - I calm it - Paige is always welcome.

  With a shake of the head, my office moves away, closing the door. Indico the chair Paige sit back and go back to my place.

  - You know, I had a very interesting visit to his "almost bride" today - she says, bending fingers - Do not know the interesting things I discovered.

  I purpose for ten seconds and I choose to remain neutral, as she talks.

  - I already know how to make the request for marriage - she continues, all excited - the idea of the serenade is good, I made only minor modifications.

  - Modifications? - I ask, feeling my skin start to sweat.

  - Yes - she smiles devilishly - You just need a bit of courage.

  And while it informs everything I should know, I have the full assurance that I should never have trusted this woman.

  I'm fucked!

  Chapter 45

  Penelope

  Instead of waking up with a loving, passionate kiss, as every morning, with a handsome man next to me taking me to paradise, I have Julienne shaking on the bed of a no gentle way.

  - Julienne? - I rub my eyes to make sure that my cousin in my room at seven in the morning on a Saturday, it was not really a hallucination - What are you doing here?

  I look to the side looking for Adam. The bed is empty. If it were not the memories of last night and the crumpled sheet in proving that spent the night with me, I say it was also the fruit of my head. Or that probably is still dreaming.

  - Get up! - She pulls the covers - Benjamin must suck before we left.

  To sit, look at Benjamin on his lap, tidy and seemingly calm, even with all this hubbub it does in the room.

  - Julienne, what are you doing here? - I ask before she give me the baby.

  Ben looks for my breast, so it is, begins to suck greedily. Like son, like father. And as always happens in the first few minutes, I lose myself watching him suckle.

  - You did not tell me what you're doing here - back to press her.

  - I'm not allowed to say - she looks away and goes toward the door.

  I stroke the soft hair of Ben, fingering the pink and plump cheeks. He sighs between sucked and another, returning to nurse the mood then.

  Just before he finished, Julienne returns, still displaying its mysterious look.

  -has Half an hour to get deliciously sexy. A beautiful man awaits you. Get ready for the most amazing time of your life.

  Playing this bomb on me, she comes out with Benjamin in his arms and smiling widely. I take a few seconds to get digest what she just said.

  Holy shit! There. My. God!

  I know what she's talking about. I noticed that since Adam returned the game, the home of Neil, who has walking nervous, scattered, worried about something. But it was the jewelry link the previous day, while he showered, warning that the ring had ordered had been done, it gives me this certainty. Adam will order - today.

  I do not know if I can walk to the bathroom and look beautiful as Julienne asked. My legs tremble made gelatin. My whole body seems to be shaken by an earthquake.

  Frankly, I do not care to continue living like this. One day at a time. And it's not a piece of paper that will determine what we feel for each other. We are already married, in my view.

  Of course coming from a religious family I know what I should be right - marriage on paper and in the church - and it certainly let my happier parents. I thought of them more and Well, and how much they lose by not knowing her grandson.

  However, they have their choices. And my decision was that our relationship is perfect the way it is. But Adam, no doubt, thinks differently. He wants more. And you know what? I also want more. I want it all.

  - To think and hurry up! - I hear the cry of Julienne from the stairs and run to the bathroom smiling, jumping of happiness, trying to figure out what that crazy had prepared for that day.

  I shower, abusing moisturizing body he likes. Luckily, there were shaved me. I put a red dress, the same as the left was crazy the first time we worked together, when Neil suffered that accident. The dress, even being discreet, licks all the curves of my body. Adam goes crazy with this dress.

  Make a soft makeup, I highlight a little more my eyes and put a red lipstick. Comb the hair with fury, leaving them smooth running down. It is longer than usual. While it is hard to keep it that way, with a baby so young, he asked to leave them that way. Obviously they were the 2nd mine and all the dirty intentions that made me accept the request. I love the way he pulls my hair to make love. Or the way he looks at me to see them sprawled on the sheets. Pure desire.

  Shim a pair of stiletto, and finally, spray my favorite perfume CK One Shock Calvin Klen. Forty minutes later, I'm ready.

  Meeting Julienne in the room, confiding something to Benjamin. Once you see me, she hisses and motions for me to take a little walk.

  - If I were not your cousin - she rises to give me my boy and pick up his bag on the sofa - Oh, I picked you.

  - Julienne!

  I do not have enough words to say how much I love this girl.

  - Let - it gives a pat on my butt - The car is already waiting outside.

  The car waiting for us is nothing less than a black limousine. The driver keeps the door open to enter. He gives me a gentle smile before slamming the door.

  For most of the route, I tried in every way pluck some detail of Julienne. However, she remained adamant and said nothing. Only left me play around with Benjamin, who was beautiful in a yellow together and enjoying the view through the window.

  We approach our destination, and start to recognize the location. Adam and I've been here. The card with the name of Sky Adventure confirms my suspicions. This is the hangar where I jumped with a parachute and almost did have a nervous breakdown.

  - But ... - I turn to Julienne looking for some information - Julienne?

  She just smiled, car jumping like it to.

  - Adam loves you very much, Penelope - she puts her head inside and looks at me seriously - You're very lucky. Enjoy, girl!

  After a few seconds meditate on his words, I go for what she said was the most amazing moment of my life.

  Ten meters from us, there are about twenty people back. All dressed in black and white. Pasma, I see that I have a Flash Mob live performance.

  I hear the first notes of a guitar. People begin to turn one by one, with a red rose in his hands. As they walk up to me, I recognize all my friends among them. I'm intrigued as each person comes to me, handing a red rose. Julienne would have asked what is happening, if the next person to turn was not Peter.

  Damn it! It is he who is strumming the guitar strings with mastery.

  After a few notes, I recognize I Will not Give Up, the Janson Mraz. This is a song that I love very much.

  When I look into your eyes, I see the night sky -Peter starts with the chorus, walking up to me. Who knew that his voice would be so beautiful? Smooth with a slightly husky and sensual touch.

  He stops next to me and delivers a red rose.

  Liam is next. He hands me the flower. Marveling, I see him slide the harmonica by his lips, accompanying the song. He winks at me and put it next to Peter.

  I look at Julienne. She is concentrated, admiring Liam. I can not blame her for it. I go back to the other in front of me. Jenny turns with a broad smile on his face. She walks up to me, singing his part of the song - I will not give up on us, even if the sky be closed. I'm giving you all my love.

  Her voice is also beautiful, like a nightingale kissing the flower. Jenny gives me the rose and put it next to Peter. So does Paige and Neil, and even his voice clashing of all the others, I notice the effort that does not go out of tune. Richard comes to his rescue. The voice is not spectacular like the Peter and Jenny, but he did not desafina.

  All walked up to me bringing the simple present, forming a circle around Ben and me. All thes
e people making a chain around me. I have a beautiful bouquet forming in my hands, the most beautiful roses I have ever seen. The last three people saw, and I can see the man who was covered by them. I recognize it immediately. It stands out among all people. Possibly because I only have eyes for him.

  In his white shirt and jeans black that, ah, fit-to that perfect butt. The rear that made me a strong desire to bite, the first time you saw her naked in my house. Then, smiling at me, it is. The father of my child, my love, my friend. The man of my life.

  My Adam.

  The smile he gives, studying me from head to foot, makes my legs falter as sticks waving in the wind. And if not for the baby, who lovingly keep tucked away in my chest, I swear, I would fall hard on the ground.

  Mesmerized, fascinated, ensnared by this devastating smile.

  It is then that the music changes. It's just him, his voice, his presence. Only he gained my attention and heart. All about loving you, Bon Jovi, now played by him. A reading made especially for me and that surely speaks to my heart. Each piece of music that he sings, I know it comes from your soul.

  He ends the last stanza. I wish the song never end, that this moment would never end. I am totally involved, and tears, those of emotion and happiness, fall freely down my face.

  Adam comes over and kisses me. All the world butterflies flying in my stomach.

  - You're crazy? - Whisper on his lips.

  - Completely crazy about you - he kisses me.

  And kisses me with a gentleness and tenderness that bring new tears to my eyes.

  - It was all very beautiful - smile, delighted. He let me go, and I already miss your touch - I love you more and more.

  Everything was perfect: the people involved, the music, roses, our friends.

  - Not over yet - he hands me her pink - Why do you think we're here?

  - For the music - I daresay.

  - Only it was part of the surprise - Adam seems nervous to look at Paige - In the sky will be the question.

  He touches my chest, where is the heart that then triggers to begin to understand where he wants to go.

  - And here's the answer.

  I blink my eyes in disbelief.

  - You'll jump? - Say alarmed, holding his arm - You can not jump!

  - Why not?

  His keen eyes probe mine.

  - You're afraid of heights - whisper just for him to hear.

  - Yeah, I'm afraid, very afraid indeed. Probably I will always have this fear - he breathes deeply - You know what the biggest fear of my life?

  Yes, I know the answer. It's my greatest fear in life as well.

  - Losing you again. I'm not just testing me, honey. I'm proving how much I love you. This is for you. I am capable of anything, to face my greatest fears - his hand touches my face like a feather.

  - You do not need my love - I insist with tearful voice - I love you so much.

  He smiles, touching his lips to mine.

  - There is a difference between need and want - your fingers the smooth my cheeks, drying the tears trail marked here - I want to. I want you to look at the sky and see all my love for you.

  He walks away. I understand a little more what he felt to see me jump that day. Even if it is all very safe, previously coordinated, you can not avoid that twinge of fear for his safety. And before he boarded the plane, he looks back. My look at it conveys confidence. His, for me, love.

  Oh my God. It will jump from a parachute. By me. For me. Because he loves me.

  The plane soars. I look at the rose he gave me, mixed other. There is a ticket wrapped like a scroll.

  Keep looking at the sky.

  Thus, similar to all present, and with bated breath, I look up. Paige and Jenny lay beside me. I Liam's arm encircle my shoulder.

  Gradually I see it taking shape in the sky, falling, flying, filling me with pride in their courage and demonstration of your feelings for me. There is no more beautiful declaration that.

  I find then, however, I was dead wrong. The parachute opens in the clear sky, and my heart definitely in my chest.

  Bold, with patterned red hearts on fabric, it is the question I get waited for so long.

  Marry me.

  ****

  I did not realize the moment someone took the baby and roses. I found myself in a movie scene. Running to him as he landed. I reached two meters away, lying on the ground, hiding his face in his hands, that too visibly shaking. It was not something easy for him. This makes it even more special for me.

  - He tried many times - the instructor who jumped with him passes next to me - should mean a lot to him, Miss.

  I shake my head in agreement and walk to Adam. Only he care at the moment. Fall to my knees in front of him, secure her hands in mine, removing them from your face.

  - My love.

  - I got it? - He mumbles, doubting himself.

  I've never seen so fragile and so strong. You can love someone in a way that does not fit in the chest? When believe there is no room in me for this? This amazing man digs even deeper into my heart.

  - Yes - I say kissing his hands. A slight taste of dust comes to my lips, but I do not care - Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes.

  Adam looks at me between confused and happy, realizing that I mean the beautiful marriage proposal.

  - Yes? - Smiling, he drops his hands from mine and takes the parachute straps - Yes?

  - Yes - I answer only.

  He gets up, pulls me, getting me into his protective arms. A hand holds my neck and the other glue on my ass, pushing me closer to him. So kiss me, however, it is not just any kiss.

  Sir! He's definitely making love with my mouth!

  His tongue savagely tying mine, exploring, taking me and air forces. The sensual dance we do with this kiss makes me limp and dizzy. I kissed as I have never been kissed before, not even for him. Grab your arms, my hands can barely wrap them while I seek for support.

  Teeth bite my lips, which is then massaged by his saucy tongue, and when sucks ... Oh, lightning down through my body, going straight to the center between my legs, causing a delicious throb.

  Loose groans muffled by his grunts. The hand on my ass massaging my skin under clothing, and I'm a little drunk.

  - Uh-huh - A snort interrupts us - I'd be the last to stop an interlude so inspiring, but I think it has too much audience here.

  Adam joins his forehead against mine. His eyes are locked on mine coals.

  - She said yes, Peter - Adam tells him. A winning smile plays on her lips.

  It is beautiful and mine. Exactly, I am very possessive.

  - With such a request, my dear, I accept to marry you.

  I stare at him with a look not touch my man. He laughs and returned to the group. People I never seen in my life come greet us. I thank each of them.

  - Did you think about all this? - Turn to Adam curiously.

  - Part of the serenade, yes - he grabs my waist and indicates Paige with his chin - These people and the jump were her ideas.

  Now I understand his sudden visit the other day and all questions you asked about Adam and me. Paige insisted on knowing all the details, from the first time we met, until the birth of Ben.

  - Heck, Paige! - I call her attention - I told you he was terrified to jump.

  In fact, I let out unintentionally.

  - It was an amazing idea? - She claps, excited gesture reminds me a clumsy seal - I had my revenge, and you a beautiful marriage proposal. Should be more grateful, Charming.

  - I'm - I smile to prove that I'm not even mad at her - It was lovely, thank you.

  Turn to Adam and kiss.

  - I love you.

  - I love you more - he hugs me.

  People will disperse, and we both continue at a time only ours. Exchanging caresses, this time a little more contained, only ten times more torturous.

  - Let's go home - it keeps me, his nose slithering in my loving way - not over yet.

  - Have more? - I ask incredulously.


  Is there anything this man can do to surprise me?

  - More - he kisses me - much more - other kisses - Always more.

  Let him wrap me up and drive the limo. Excluding people working in the hangar and some students, all are gone.

  - And Benjamin?

  - Liam and Julienne will be with him today - so we entered, he put me on his lap - Today you are mine alone.

  Vacillate for a few seconds. It is the first time I'll be away from my baby. However, I know he will be right with my cousin and Liam.

  - Remember our first limo ride? - He caresses my leg up a little dress.

  - Do you think I could forget? - Purr to your touch - were those moments that kept me from going crazy while we were away.

  I feel him tense, his eyes darkened a little. quickly turning on his lap, running my legs on either side of her waist. The move makes the dress up to my ass, leaving much of my underwear showing.

  - Sorry - I touch your lips with mine - did not want to remember sad things, forgive me.

  Adam kisses me. I feel that is the cure for your pain. I see the creases in his forehead decrease gradually.

  - I was a jerk - he laments.

  Safe his face with both hands, forcing him to look at me. We try to forget the past, taking into account that most of the mistakes we made was due to someone else. A horrible and cruel person which we should not drive a measly thought.

  - It's the most wonderful man in the world!

  He smiles sheepishly. And enchants me all facets it has. Now possessive and jealous, sometimes philandering, wild, or gracefully shy.

  - You know what I wanted most that night?

  He caresses my ass and rubs her pelvis in mine, showing his erection.

  - Fuck me? - Venture, remembering our conversation in the cafe. I almost threw the steaming liquid on his face, such was my anger.

  So many things had changed since then. I learned to be fucked by him was a good thing, very good. Wow, I was ridiculously puritanical and moralistic at the time.

  - I still want to fuck you, dear, I do not whine - he smiles on my lips - But I wanted something much more special. I wanted to love you.

  - I wanted? - Boldly introduce my hands inside his pants - do not want more?
