Carryn Bradshaw
POV
He is cheating. He is f*****g cheating on me. He moves out of our house into an apartment he will not let me into. Now his missing a visit with our child.
I ball my fists feeling rage flash through my body. I close my eyes to calm my nerves. I am going to find who she is. And I will get rid of her.
“Mommy” My daughter calls out to me from the back seat.
The only reason he married me; I would make another one of those if he would just f*****g sleep with me.
“Yes honey?” I ask as sweetly as I could. I hated kids but I needed a way to make him stay so I took fertility pills and drugged Grey so he would sleep with me. it would one try and here we are married. Not together like I had hoped but I will get him to love me, the way I love him.
I need a f*****g new plan to get him to commit to me. He has to, he doesn’t have a f*****g choice. Even if it meant using the child, we share I would.
“Mommy do you think grandma baked cookies?” she asks
I roll my eyes, I could not careless what that old hag was doing. I couldn’t wait to drop this kid off so I could go find Greyson finding out where the f**k he is shouldn’t be hard.

Kylie Harding
POV
As I sit in the restaurant, I wait for Grey to come but he does not show up.
I hear my cousin Tyler announces the arrival of the happy couple, I cover my disappointment with a fake smile. He did not come. He was not going to come.
By the time the speeches are done, I stop looking out for him. I check my phone; I see a text from him.
{Sorry Kylie, I will not be able to make it to the reception, something came up at work. I will call you in the morning. We really do need to talk… I love you…}
I do not respond to his text. But I could not stop the smile forming on my face.
I leave the reception early and head home. I cannot believe I am home on a weekend at eight p.m. in the evening. I have never ever been home this early since I have been sixteen.
I take a long shower. Taking the time to wash my hair and just standing under the showerhead. I needed to think.
Am I excited about the phone call tomorrow morning?
Yes…
Do I want him in my life?
Yes…
Do I still love Grey?
Yes…
Biggest question of them all. Do I want the drama that comes with dating Grey?
I scrunch up my face when I realize the answer.
Yes…
Introducing Grey to my family as my boyfriend would mean my brother’s getting involved and I hated having my family involved in my love life, or the lack there of. There was a reason I do not do relationships. I do not like opening up to people.
Yes, with Grey it is different he knows what I have been through, he has helped me through them…
Why the hell was I trying to convince myself that this is what I wanted?
I turn off the shower. I get out and grab my towel drying myself and then walking up to my bed laying in the bed making myself comfortable.
I sleep naked, I prefer to sleep naked. I get really horny at night, and I love touching myself. I never bring men home to my place. I go to their places so I could sneak out when they are sleeping, and I will come home to my apartment. My address is secret. I do not trust anyone in my personal space.
It does not take me long to fall asleep.
I get woken up by my trusty alarm. Today was Sunday which meant I was in the studio working on my new album.
I was just in the slums. I have not had one good idea for a song in months. I have no idea what is wrong with me.
I get dressed quickly sweats and a hat to cover my hair.
I walk out of my apartment and when I open my door, Grey stands in front of me with a bouquet of flowers.
He gives me his panty dropping smile, nearly causing me to pull him into my apartment and let him have his way with me.
I narrow my eyes at him. “How did you find my apartment?” I ask him
“It was easy. You had it under Kyla Bradding.” He tells me
I role my eyes, of course he would know my alias, he freaking made the darn name up. He liked my name with his surname so he came up with it in a way that no one would know but we always knew.
“I don’t appreciate you ambushing me at my apartment Greyson” I say
“Grey” he tells me
“What?” I ask
“You call me Grey; you are no allowed to call me Greyson unless you are mad at me, and you are not mad. Annoyed maybe but not mad.” He says matter of factly
“Look why don’t we talk please” He asks
I roll my eyes and sigh; I step aside to let him in.
He walks in and I close the door behind me. he takes in the room.
My living room had dark colors, blacks and grey. My room had mother color which was navy. My apartment used to belong to Jackson before he bought himself a house last year and I have not changed anything.
I move over to the sofa he sits placing the roses on the coffee table.
“I just wanted to start by apologizing for yesterday, I promised to come but I did not show up. it is no excuse and I apologize” he says seriously
I nod in understanding work comes first. I travel more than the average singer, but that is because I get restless staying in one place for too long. I hate monotony, I hate having a routine. I always feel as though someone is watching me, so I want to make sure I take a different route to work every day, I made sure my studio had multiple exits because I’m paranoid about being trapped.
“Kylie, I love you, I always have, from the minute I laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one for me. When we dated it was the happiest time of my life. I cannot imagine my life without you in it.
Seeing you again in that coffee shop, it felt a though God was giving us a second chance at love. He was blessing us with a chance to love one another again, to be with one another. You cannot tell me you do not feel the same pull I do. I can see it in your eyes. You still love me, that is why you have not bee with a guy since you have seen me again.
I am not going to lie to you, there has been one other person after you, with which I have slept. But drugs were involved otherwise it would have been you, only you are made for me. no other woman would ever come close to you, because you are on a whole other level they cannot reach.
You are not only beautiful inside and out, but you are also the strongest person I know. After everything you have been through you have shown the world that what has happened to you define who you are as a person. Kylie you are so much more than your looks, you are smarter than most of your peers, you are kind and most of all you are the woman who has had my heart since day one,” he says leaving me speechless
No one other than my brother’s and father has ever complimented me on anything other than my looks. Having him complimenting me makes me feel special. Makes me feel loved. I could not stop the tears from falling down my face. I look down at my sneaker clad feet.
“I just have one question…”
I look up at him.
“I want you to be my girlfriend, and one day my wife. We will have children together and we will be happy us and our little family.” he tells me, no he did not ask me, he was telling me he wanted me to be his girlfriend.
I already knew the answer to his question last night.
“Yes…”
