Life couldn't be better. My life with Dash has bloomed into a beautiful relationship that I thought I would never have again. I asked him to move in with me because let's face it, he was here more than his condo. He sold his condo quickly and it was the best decision I've made. I got promoted as lead marketing director at work and now I have my team to develop. Work has been busy and I haven't seen Dash for a couple of weeks because he's been playing in different states. But we video phone every night. He talks dirty to me and how he's going to fuck me on the couch as soon as he comes back. He comes back today. I came home early from work because I wanted to surprise him with the manuscript of my newest book, A Dash Of Him. I need to send it to my editor and then publish it in a month or two.
His brother comes out in two days and I know he's been excited about that. I know he's missed Kieran and they have a lot to catch up on. Dash told me he's going to be on house arrest for a couple of months until the court sees his being cooperative. So he'll be staying with his dad.
I also noticed Dash hasn't been stressed out lately and I'm so glad. His gloomy and tired eyes were making me worried. But now I see a bright light in those glacial blue eyes of his and I couldn't wait for him to walk through that door.
I also saw that Donovan came out. I was shocked at first because he was married for so long but we talked and told me it was just a cover-up, that Grace was just a great friend of his from college. His team, the Royals, won the championship and now he's taking a break from football. I think the last time I talked to him he was in Europe. He sent me selfies of him and I noticed he was happier as well. Everyone was getting their life and happiness back.
I know I was happier that's because Dash healed my heart. A simple touch from Dash's fingers made my skin erupt into goosebumps. His lips made my heart thump loudly in my chest and his loving words mended those open wounds that are now closed.
I opened my laptop and turned it on. As I waited for it to start I went to the kitchen to prepare Dash a sandwich, knowing his appetite he'll be hungry once he walked through those doors. Suddenly my heart tightened and then it thumped loudly. The hairs on my arm prickled as cold air lingered around me. Then suddenly a warm tear came down my cheek.
"I'm so happy that you found someone, my lucky number 7."
It was Emilio's voice whispering on the shell of my ear. My heart raced faster as a warm smile formed on my lips. I placed my hand over my chest. "Emilio is that you?" I turned around but nothing. I noticed the laptop was at the starting screen. I walked slowly and then I saw a picture of me and Emilio, it was in high school. I was feeding him a sour worm. I was so happy that day just like I am right now.
"I'll always be in your heart. I love you, my lucky number 7. And remember, forgive him."
"What? What do you mean to forgive him?" The room was warm again and the picture was closed on my laptop. He was gone. The door opened as my eyes averted to the man I loved.
