Wife of fortune

Chapter 35

For the next month me and Grayson spent every day together in our house in Italy. We still didn't contact anyone. Well I called Malika once every 2 weeks because she would find me and kill me for not talking to her for so long, but I never told her I was with Grayson. And as for Grayson he took care of work from home and other than that he had completely cut contact with everyone.

My belly has finally started to show, and none of my jeans fit me anymore, the belly wasn't big but when I wore something skin tight it was noticeable. And as I was in my second trimester I finally started to feel a little bit more like a human again, I had so much more energy and I wasn't vomiting at random times of the day. We also found out we're having a daughter.

We went on dates once a week, we kept renovating the house to make it just as we want it. I started buying baby clothes. We even took two trips outside of the country. And I've never been happier.

Today I've decided to show lake Como to Grayson. As much as he had traveled around the world he hasn't seen anything, last week I was showing him the tower of Pisa and the week before that we went to Pompeii.

He says he enjoys going on these little trips with me but I feel like he's just saying that to make me happy.

"This is my favourite place on earth" I say as we walk up to a little viewing platform.

"I thought your favourite place on earth was our home" Grayson says as he hugs me from behind.

"It is, but this is different" I say and place my hands on his arms that are wrapped around my neck and then I turn to look at him and his hands go to my lower back.

"I want to get married here" I say and Grayson turns around to look at the house behind us.

"I think every girl wants to get married here" he says and I lean on the railing.

"Who wouldn't it's an absolute dream here" I say and lean my head on his shoulder as he stands next to me.

"You didn't like our wedding?" He says and I lift up my head and look at him. He's teasing me.

"The one in your office?" I ask trying not to laugh. "I mean it was definitely like nothing I've ever imagined" I say and make him laugh. God his laugh still gets me every time.

"I just imagine myself walking down this path, with people seated on the sides, me in a big white dress" I say and turn so I end up in front of him.

"Who are you walking to Miss Matisse?" He asks with a smile on his face.

"I don't know" I say leaning my head to the side and then I say "there's too many options I can't pick just one" I tease.

Me and Grayson haven't really talked about getting married. I think we're just taking it one day at a time but I know if he's asked me to be his wife I'd say yes. I know we only know each other for a couple months, but the things we've went through and always came back to each other I know there's no one else for me.

"Come here" he says and I walk into his arms and give him a kiss.

"I love you, you know that right?" he whispers and I smile and say "I know"

"Good" he says and plants a kiss on the top of my head and then I take his hand and we continue walking.

We eat out in an restaurant and head back home right before it gets dark. I unlock the doors to the house and walk inside. I kick off my shoes and go to sit down.

As Grayson takes off his coat and comes to the couch, picking up my legs and placing them down in his lap. I take out my phone from my bag and there's a missed call from Malika so I call her back.
