5 Reasons To Love Again

Chapter 114

In the morning, I woke up to Preston kissing my shoulder. "Good morning darling. Just wait here while I get you some juice and toast." I smiled thinking about how much I loved his Britishness. A juice box and crackers were not good enough for him. A few minutes later he brought me a chilled glass of orange juice and some buttered toast on a plate. I ate it with him watching me to make sure that I finished it. He was following Chase's orders to a tee! Once he allowed me to stand up, I went to the bathroom and peed. We showered together and got dressed. Preston had brought his clothes for the day into my room the night before. He gave me a sweet kiss before patting my stomach and leaving for his downtown Charleston office.

Wyatt showed up in my room wanting to see what I planned on wearing. "Should I be wearing pants or a dress? What are you wearing?" I asked him. "Oh, just a grey suit and a shirt and tie but I would like it if you wore a dress." he said. I perused my dress section and chose the fuchsia wrap dress that Preston had bought for me. I found the pair of matching heels for it and showed them to Wyatt. "I'll find some jewelry to go with it." I said to him and he smiled and dragged me to his room to help pick out a tie. His suit was hanging up as well as the white shirt. I looked through his selection of ties and chose a dark grey that had a fuchsia and white pattern on it. "Now we will match!" I told Wyatt and he smiled. "We are always a good match darling!"

With the wardrobe issues out of the way, I went back to work on the laundry with him and we finished most of it before I decided that it was time for me to do my hair, nails and makeup. He stayed with me in my room as I gave myself a quick coat of polish. I even painted my toe nails with the pale pink polish. When they were sufficiently dried, I started on my hair. "You want it up or down Wyatt?" I asked him. He chose down and I managed to tame the curls into shining waves that went past my shoulders. I went with various shades of brown for eye shadow to keep in neutral and put plenty of mascara on to make my lashes pop. Lastly, I used a sheer lipstick that matched my dress.

I told Wyatt to go get dressed and I put on a matching set of underwear and a pair of sheer thigh highs. After putting on the dress and heels, I went to the bathroom mirror to make sure that I looked alright. Adding a pale pink necklace and earrings to complete my outfit, I thought that I passed muster so I picked a small clutch purse and stuck my wallet, cell phone and lipstick inside of it. I pulled out a black dress jacket that went down to my knees to keep me warm and went downstairs to meet Wyatt. He was coming out of the offices hallway when I reached the bottom of the steps. He smiled and gave me a wolf whistle. "All the guys are going to be drooling over you."

Wyatt grabbed a bag before taking my arm to escort me to his car. The drive there didn't take that long and he pulled up to the entrance where he handed the valet a separate set of keys, for the car and kept his real set. My door was opened by a man wearing the valet uniform and I accepted his help out of the car. Wyatt grabbed his bag from the backseat and offered me his arm. I took it and we went into the hotel together. The lobby was nice but not quite on the level of the last place Chase had taken me to.

Wyatt walked me towards the back of the hotel where a large room had been set up with tables and a podium with a large screen behind it. There were mostly men milling around with a handful of females scattered in. Some of them had the nerdy persona going for them complete with pocket protectors. Wyatt was greeted by different people and he seemed to be well known among them. Curious looks were shot my way and Wyatt proudly introduced me as his fiancé. I smiled and shook hands with them. He found our table towards the front of the room and helped me with my coat after setting his bag down.

"All right. It's time to mingle a little before I get my stuff set up." he told me. I tilted my head to the side, "Set up for what?" Wyatt grinned and said, "I'm giving a presentation today. I wanted you here for it, so I'm sorry if all the tech talk today bores you." I gave him a kiss and said, "If you're a part of it, how on earth could I be bored?" He smiled and I used a finger to wipe off the lipstick that I had left behind. As Wyatt walked us around introducing me to people, I noticed that the men, particularly the younger ones were socially awkward so I tried put them at ease. I knew what it was like to be shy. A few of the women seemed to size me up and smirked when they realized that I wasn't one of them.
