The New Boss

CHAPTER 13: Love You More

FRANKIE

After I awoke, I had felt the heaviness in my eyes as I knew they had been working over time with tears I cried throughout the night, not to mention the fact that I actually had gotten a little bit of sleep due to it.

I had looked down at my phone at first and then noticed it was dead before grabbing my purse and jacket then leaving to go and sit at a cafe nearby before heading home.

While sitting at the a table near the window and sipping on some nice hot tea, I started replaying everything said between Raiden and I and realized that I was a bit out of line and should have not said what I did about how much I gave up for him because he has done sacrificing too.

Thinking back now over things I am also beginning to feel embarrassed a little as to how childish and immature I was sure now about in how I acted. Then to have done it in front of the guys as well.

I am glad that I left and went to Helena's house for the night because I appreciated talking to her and her not taking any sides while at the same time, pointing out and telling me things that were true.

I understand him and I both need to talk with one another and the only thing I can do now is just head home and charge my phone for one thing as well as take a shower, then hopefully he will be there so we can possibly talk to each other.

Right as I pulled up in front of the house and headed inside, I saw a couple of the guys and began to feel embarrassed from yesterday.

Yet, they greeted me as usual with a smile and a head nod.

"Good morning." I replied.

"Raiden isn't here. He needed to take care of some business." One of them told me.

"Okay. Thanks." I replied then decided to avoid any kind of awkwardness that may occur and started to head upstairs to take a shower.

I swear, just the scent of his body wash and shampoo and the fresh scent of his sprayed cologne that lingers still in the bedroom from this morning, I was missing him as much as I did last night.

When I had finished showering then getting dressed into some shorts and tank top, I waited for him as my phone charged.

After a while I messaged and tried calling him back soon after I noticed I had a couple missed calls and messages from him.

Now of course he did not answer and a part of me wanted to think it was because he was working but then I started to think a moment later that maybe he was upset even more at me, believing that I was ignoring him and was why I never returned his calls or reply to any of his messages neither.

Moments later, after I left him a message, I figured he would be back later on so I chose to take a nap and catch up on some sleep.

Maybe it is because I am a light weight when it comes to drinking but it always amazes me when people like Raiden can just get drunk the night beforehand then the next morning be able to go to work like they have no hangover or nothing. Personally, I would be sick and not go to work or see the world if I were to have been as drunk as he was yesterday, especially.

When I woke up and started to open my eyes a little bit, I looked out the window I was facing that overlooked the backyard and noticed that it was almost dark.

Then heard water coming from inside of the bathroom and in that very moment, I felt awake. I sat up in bed and right as I heard him turn the water off, I knew any second he was going to be coming out and for some reason I felt a little nervous but yet excited at the same time.

I quickly began to pull my hair back in a bun real fast and it happened to be at the same time he comes walking out, with wet hair, his tattoos exposed and water droplets glistening off his body.

Then he looks at me.

"Hey." He says while standing in the bathroom doorway, making it not as easy for me to focus.

"Hi." I reply.

We both shared a brief moment of silence before we say something at the same time.

"Sorry, you go first." He tells me.

"I wanted to apologize about throwing that in your face. It was wrong for me to say that because also, I know you have sacrificed things for me to. Although I don't regret what I said about how I felt with the wedding and..." I stopped myself before continuing on because I started to feel my eyes water. "I've been thinking that maybe we should postpone this wedding. Until we figure some other things out first." I stopped for a moment. "I mean, I want to get married still, even if it's just me on that big day." I tried making him laugh with the last part and seemed to have made him crack a smile as he tries to hide it while I continue some more.

"However, if this is too soon or too much, then I can wait." I finish even though I do not want to postpone the wedding but feel as though right now at least, there is no other choice but to do it.

I hear him let out a sigh before walking over towards the bed to sit on the end of the bed while turning half way to face me.

"Frankie I don't blame you for what you said. And I sure as hell don't want to postpone the wedding. I mean, I never wanted to get married. Then I met you and I fell in love. For the first and I know the last time. Ever since you came to my house and talked to me the way you did. I knew I had to make you mine." He smiles at me.

"Sure it took me forever to finally admit it but I meant what I said when I proposed to you. I knew what it meant and still means. And baby I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle towards me and we make all of this official. And I am so sorry that I said what I did to you. There is no other girl that compares to you. And in the future, I will try to be more aware of what I say because the last thing I ever want to do is hurt you. I promise that from this point on, I will MAKE more of an effort with the wedding." He finishes telling me while now fighting back tears of his own too.

"I love you." I smiled at him.

"I love you more." He replies with a smile.

We both move in closer towards one another and give each other a kiss before having the best make up sex.
