When I say I love you

The kiss held so much emotion, it was like he was telling me that he doesn't want me to go away from him. I pulled away to catch my breath, I couldn't have eye contact with him.

Look at me
I..I can't
( He smiles and lifts my head with his index finger) Yvette
Mmmhmm
Do you have feelings for me?
Josh..
Listen I'm a grown ass man I won't waste time, you're beautiful,daring and a little bit crazy and that's just my type. But I have to know you at least like me... please ( I looked at his face not knowing what to say ,and wrapped my arms around him and kissed him again)
I guess I have my answer then. It's pretty late let me drop you off at home
Sure thanks.

Soo are we finally going to go on our date?
You know you have a lot of free time on your hands for a guy who has over 300 companies to run.
Will you just say yes, God you're so stubborn.
I'm not a kid you know
Well I did think you were either 19or 22 when we first met( I burst into laughter).
What? 19?
You just looked so young
Unbelievable, I'll be free this weekend maybe we can go out ( he smirks and looks at me)
Maybe? Is my girlfriend giving me a condition now?( My heart stopped, did he just say girlfriend?)
Huh? Girlfriend?
Why are you my boyfriend? ( I smile looking at him)
You know you're extremely pretty
I know
Cocky much( he laughed as he continued to drive, he really is good looking)

A few minutes later he dropped me off
So I'll see you( I was walking in then he put his hands around my waist and pulled me to him, our faces were so close and his eyes look so beautiful. I breathe heavily at the closeness, this guy is making me no think straight)
Where's my goodbye kiss
I think you've gotten at lot of kisses for today mister.
Oh Yvette ( the whispers at my ear) you don't know what you do to me, when I see your eyes , your lips your attitude you just make me lose my mind
Josh..
You have your guard up, I don't know who or what hurt you to make you put your walls up this high, but( he cups my face) I'll help you to let me in . Because for now you are my woman and I'll do anything to keep it that way.
Thank you ( I smile at him)
Good night Yvette ( he kisses my forehead)
Good night Josh.

I head inside to see Ellie and her dad have a chat and laughing, it makes kinda sad and extremely jealous , my dad and I were close. Very close, we did everything together,we both loved cooking, playing in the sand and reading together,even though he would never allow me to wear a crop top as a teenager and say' you are not going out of my house in a handkerchief ' ,I don't know what he'd say if he saw me right now, whenever it's spring or summer all I wear are crop tops. But I can't help but wonder if he remembers me, hell he might not even be my real dad. I don't even know who my birth mother is, all my life I've hoped for that love that a person gets from a mother, all my friends couldn't stop talking about their mothers when I was growing up, but I have no stories cause the person that I continued to love even though she showed me no love was just waiting to kick me out of their lives...I'm certain on finding my mom, maybe..just maybe she's out there, she didn't abandon me and she yearns for me, the only person that has come close to a mother to me was Ms Gorgina Rodriguez, she loved me and made me feel loved

Heyy what are you doing standing there come sit ( Ellie walks to me and pulls me out of my thoughts)
Hi Mr Sherbasteskey
Hello dear how have you been ( I hug him)
Good, how was Canada?
Well I love my country so it was good, I tell you to come there some time
Daddy all you do there is work
Elliana I'm a judge , of course I have to work ( Ellie took a beer and started to drink)
Dadddd it's Ellie...of for crying out loud I changed my name immediately I turned 18
It's the name your mother and I chose for you
Mom always called me Ellie ( she said smiling, how I wish I could speak of my mother that way)
How's the shop going, your products are even being bought in Canada
Yeah our delivery guy is very good he went all the way to Alberta to deliver some of the goodies to the mini marts there
So I guess the company is on its way
Yes Mr Sherbasteskey ( Ellie kept on drinking)
Okay guys I'm going to the club
Club Elliana it's 10 pm
Yesss daddy it's the perfect time to go drinking
Hone..
Byeeer( she left)
There's something wrong isn't there?
Yeah ..you know Ellie,she's just worried about something, it's best for her to drink it off
Huh, shouldn't you be worried about your friend?
I have a tracker in her phone anddd the bartender is my friend, I just texted him to call her a cab once she dozes off
You have a tracker in her phone?
Yeah, well last year she kinda got drunk and...peed in someone's pool so I had to..
You are the best sister my baby could ever have..Elle and I always wanted to have another child so Elliana wouldn't be lonely.. but you are more like a mother to her
And she's mine , Ellie has been there for me . Whenever something bad or good happens , shes always there with a smile and her crazy , she uplifts me so there's no problem.
