Sleeping with a lie

(33)

Theo parks on the side of the street. Today we were going to pick out cake. Just to get the process over with. I scroll through pictures on Pintrest, hoping something would spark my senses.

"Have any ideas?" He asks me opening the front door of the shop.

"Pink and silver, maybe?"

He nods, holding my hand.

"Good morning! Shailene Woodley and Theo James? Correct?"

"Correct, let's eat some cake shall we?"

The brunette haired lady that wore a black apron over a pink t-shirt and jeans, led us to the cake testing area.

"You guys are very fortunate that you are our only customers today." She says. "Brides would freak out if they saw you, Theo."

Theo laughed to play along with the joke.

__________
I had two spoonfuls of butter cream, and lemon iced cake. Theo and I negotiated flavors back and forth. With two more flavors to go, he spoke up.

"I'm leaning towards Brown sugar topped off with butter cream." Theo says.

"Same here,"

"Alright. So Brown sugar cake topped off with butter cream?" The lady checks off. "Okie-dokie."

Once she left, I turned towards Theo, pressing my forehead against his.

"Tomorrow we fly back home." I say nicely. "I'm missing my daughter."

"Yeah, seeing her eyes sparkle does make me feel homesick." He compares.

She comes back with the a sketched out picture of the cake, and the whole picture in general.

"Looks amazing." Theo compliments.

"This will be shipped when to the wedding exactly?"

"Around- well, when is the soonest you want it?"

"April 30th." I decided scanning my counter. "Since we're hosting it here."

"Okay then, see you two love birds later."

Minutes after talking to the head baker, Theo drove us back to the hotel.

I lied on the bed reading and flipping through magazines. Theo searched wedding venues.

"Shai- so the plan tomorrow morning is to leave by 6, and land around 2. Depending on you know,the traffic."

"Ugh. Planning makes me not even want to go. Traffic is that bad in the morning?'

"All day long." He dreads.

"Okay. That's the plan. Didn't you order that bottle of Mascoto Red Wine?"

"Yeah, speaking of... Johnathan should be here by now." Theo calls again, minutes later, Johnathan serving us Red Wine in a bucket of ice.

From the bare back of Theo, he turns around with glasses filled with red liquid. I drank mine slowly.

"To my beautiful, fiancee." He cheered to me.

"And to my handsome, loving future husband." I cheered back.

Sipping at the same time, his hand rests on my inner thigh.

"Thank you for saying yes," he says. "Without you, who knows what I would be doing now."

"Plus one." I say pointing to my stomach.

"Oh, speaking of, how are you feeling?"

"Being 3 weeks- haha, I wish there was no such thing as morning sickness." I whined.
"Well, it is all worth it at the end. A family, a relationship, and two babies who we can cherish forever." Theo lightened up the mood.

I go off topic saying, "Mmhmm, I think we should move here."

Theo almost spits his wine out of his mouth. "What?"

Hey guys!! So I am taking requests at random to be added into the story! Much appreciated. Thank you for getting this book to 1.21K reads.

Sorry about the cliffhanger. I had to.

PEACE.
