36. Three Weeks Later

Three Weeks Later

I look across the bed at the sleeping form of Jensen. The last three weeks have become easier and the nightmares are slowly going away. I still have the need to be close to him and not let him out of my sight. But, that's difficult when Jensen and I work for two different companies. Lately, I've been going to Hamilton Hotel and Resort Head office in Los Angeles for meetings with the CEO's that work in New York. I told them that I was thinking of opening up a chain of restaurants and they are willing to see how it goes.

Today I will be going to a building sight with Jensen and see if it's a good building for the restaurant. From what I've seen of the building it needs work. At least I have Jensen's family and Lauren that are willing to help out.

Jensen opens his eyes and he looks at me. "Good morning, Baby. How long have you been awake?"

I smile. "Long enough. I love watching you sleep."

He shakes his head. "You've been doing that too much lately."

I sigh. "Sorry,"

He pulls me into his arms. "It's not your fault, Joy." He smiles. "Tell me how the preparations for the wedding is going?"

I look at the ground. "It's going alright. Your mother and I have found a place for the wedding. The wedding will be next month." I look at the bedside table. "I have to send out the invitations. Can you spend sometime today writing down the names of the people that you want at the wedding?"

He whispers. "I'll write the list after breakfast. I have a friend that's coming over later this afternoon. He wants to look at the building for the restaurant. He used to work as a construction guy. He'll tell you his honest opinion about it."

"Who's the guy that you trust for opinions on the building?"

He looks at me. "Chad, the one that brought me to you from Sydney."

I smile.

I like that guy.

I look at Jensen. "I like that guy. I hope he approves the building. I want to start the restaurant chain."

Jensen shakes his head. "It won't happen that fast, baby. You have a lot of things to go through before you can open the restaurant. But, having Chad on our side will help move things along." He climbs out of bed. "Joy, I want to show you the house after we see the building. I was wondering if you want to move into the house soon."

I nod. "I want to see it and move in right away. So, why don't we just pack the stuff into the limo and then check out the new restaurant and then move into our new home. We might as well invite your family around for the dinner we wanted to have a couple weeks ago."

There's a knock on the door. Jensen looks at the door and yells. "Come in." The door opens and Lauren steps into the room.

She looks at me. "Can I have some lunch money?"

I climb out of bed and walk over to my wallet and I give her twenty for lunch. I look at Jensen and then back to her. "Jensen's going to pick you up after school. We're moving into the new house today."

Lauren smiles. "It's about time. I know you've been holding off on the move. The house is fully furnished so the only things that we need to bring with us is our clothes and photos."

I look at her. "When did you go to the house?"

She scrapes her foot on the carpet and then she looks at the ground. "The day Cindy took me out. She showed me the place. I can't believe it took you all this time to want to move into the new house."
