From Rags to Riches

Three words, eight letters

Rebecca:

"Rebecca?" I'm woken from my sleep by Jordan peppering kisses on my face and neck.
"Hmm? What?" I mumble and turn into my pillow. Today is my day off; just because he has to rule the world doesn't mean he has to disturb my precious sleep.
"Becca baby I'm going now, I'll be back at five for our date ok?"
"Fine, go" I wave an arm aimlessly and I hear him chuckle.
"Fine then" I feel his weight leave the bed and I frown. I reach my arms out like a child with my eyes still close.
"No" I whine and clench and unclench my hands.
"Open your eyes" I feel his breath on my face and I open my eyes to be greeted with his mesmerising grey orbs.
"Morning" I smile and he lets out a soft chuckle.
"Morning beautiful" he leans in and gives me a kiss. I feel him go to pull away, but instead I wrap my arms around his neck; holding him to me. I feel his weight on the bed again as he straddles my legs and places his hands on either side of my head. I move my arms so they wrap around his shoulder blades and pull down; making him go to his elbows and our bodies are flush together plus the covers in between. I could stay like this forever, but I know he has to work, and we have all evening. I pull away and rest my forehead against his.
"Go rule the world, I'll see you at five" I tell him and his smile radiates happiness and dare I say it: love?
"See you and our princess at five" he kisses my nose and takes off, leaving me to think over his words. Our princess. The things his words do to me, I shiver at the thought of the many times he's made me feel this way.i get out of bed and go upstairs to check on Sienna, smiling like a goofball at what tonight has in store.

Ever since the whole tabloid fiasco on Monday, paparazzi have been on red alert around Escala, and tonight is no exception. But this is what we wanted; the world to know that Jordan and I are together and that he isn't 'ashamed' of Sienna as they so kindly put it. I strap Sienna into her car seat between Jordan and I and Mason makes his way out to the restaurant. We are meeting a reporter that Jordan personally hired to meet us there to give them the statement. We get escorted into the Mile High Club; Jordan carrying Sienna, and we immediately get seated. It's not even five thirty yet so the place as a whole is fairly quiet. We sit down and shortly after we order our drinks, a woman in her early thirties walks over with a huge smile.
Yeah, I bet she's loving life; getting the inside scoop on billionaire Jordan Matthews' love life.

"I met Rebecca a few months back and we clicked. She brought Sienna into my life and together they made me realise what I want in life. We're happy, and would appreciate it if our privacy is respected. That's all I have to say" Jordan's report is short and sweet, but exactly what was needed to keep the public at bay for now. The reporter who's name I can't even remember gets up briskly and takes off.
"Bye" Sienna says and waves her little hand, making me laugh.
"Yeah good riddance baby" Jordan chuckles and leans over to kiss Sienna on the side of her head.

"You excited for your birthday in a few weeks?" I ask Jordan as we tuck in to our main course. I ordered the poached salmon while Jordan got a man meal of ribeye steak. Sienna was happily babbling to herself while eating her chicken nuggets and chips; a meal that only Sienna is allowed to have according to policy. I mentally roll my eyes at the fact that Jordan created a menu specifically for Sienna as the restaurant is high class and doesn't allow children.
"Not really, it's a birthday. We all have birthdays, and you know I don't like attention" Jordan replies absentmindedly as he continues to eat.
"I don't know what to get you, you already have everything"
"Just your presence in my life is a present" he says and I sigh. There he goes again, melting my heart.
"Sienna, what shall we get daddy for his birthday?" I ask her and she puts down her little fork and frowns.
"A big, big cake" she finally decides and Jordan laughs.
"Now that sounds perfect"
"Chocolate though mummy, that's daddy's favourite" she actually points at me and pouts. Oh she's been watching her daddy on video chat in the office for too long.
"Yes I know honey. Chocolate cake it is" I smile.

"I love daddy" Sienna tells me when I tuck her in for the night. I smile as I see my little girl smile as she talks about Jordan.
"I know you do pumpkin" I reply and kiss her head.
"Do you love him?" My hand freezes momentarily as I stroke her hair. Do I love him? I thought I loved Conrad, but the feelings I have towards Jordan are so much more intense.
"Yes honey, I do" I grin as I confess my feelings to my little four year old. I've admitted it to her, now I need to tell Jordan. I kiss Sienna on her head and stand up.
"I love you more though babygirl, always" she grins and hides her smile with her blanket.
"Love you most mummy" she barely whispers and I close the door. I walk downstairs and I'm hit with an aroma of jasmine. I walk into our bedroom and I'm in awe.

"I thought to end your day off you could have a bath" Jordan tells me as I walk into the room. I look into his eyes and I can't believe he's done all this for me. He takes me into the en suite and the bathroom is filled with candles with a soft classic tune playing.
"Do you like it?" He asks me and I just nod and look up at him.
"Thankyou so much, Jordan. This is just what I need" I grin and lean up to give him a kiss.
"I wanted to tell you something too" Jordan admits and I wrap my arms around his neck and press my body against his.
"Tell me" I whisper and his arms wrap around my waist.
"I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now, but I've never found the place or the time to say it. You have no idea how much you've changed my life, Rebecca. You've made me see the light in the world and I'm so grateful" he swallows and his hands tighten on my hips.
"I've never said these words before, not even to my family. But, I love you, Rebecca Kramer. I'm in love with you" before he can continue my lips crash with his. I'm the first girl he's ever loved, ever slept with, ever introduced to his family. The list is endless. I pull away and stroke his cheek.
"I love you too, Jordan. I thought what Conrad and I had was love, but this... This is so much more. I now know that I was never in love with him, but I'm head over heels in love with you" I confess and bite my lip in nervousness.
"Join me" I say and his brows furrow. I nod towards the bath and he gets it.
"Are you sure?" He asks and I nod.
"I just need to make a call and I'll be back" I give him a quick kiss and walk out the room. I know exactly what to give him for his birthday, now I need the right person to help me. I find the person I need to talk to and press the call button.
"Evelynn, it's me. You up for getting a wax in a few weeks?"
