You, Me and The Devil Makes Three

Chapter 21 – You, Me and The Devil Makes Three

I didn’t want to go home. The past month and a half had been…perfect. Italy was beautiful…and so was my husband. I giggled at the memory of him falling into the pool…in his long coat. Heaven knows why he’d worn it. I sighed. Sure, there would be more wonderful memories…but they wouldn’t be here in this…beautiful time frame where we could do as we wished. Even the local paparazzi had left us alone a fair bit. But, alas, it could not remain so.

We were going home in two weeks…I suppose then it would be enough time…I smiled slyly. Just because we went home didn’t mean the honeymoon had to end.

“Hey beautiful.” I jumped slightly as Marilyn’s arms slipped around my waist. He chuckled as he kissed my hair. “Did I scare you?”

“No.” I smiled and turned around to kiss him.

“So, um…we have a stalker…apparently…” Marilyn held me against him tighter. “According to Jock…”

“Your security manager you thought to bring with us?” I raised an eyebrow sarcastically as I looked back out over the balcony, my eyes wandering over the city.

“Yeah, sorry…” he kissed my hair. “But, I thought it was for the best…and, as it turns out, it was. It’s the same girl that was stalking me when I was with Dita…and then Evan…she sent death threats and well…” he sighed and pulled me backwards into his lap as he sat down. “She’s psychotic!”

“So incredibly very not good…” I muttered, my mind going over my psychology training by habit. “What do we do?”

“I keep you safe.” He sighed as I leant back against him, my head on his shoulder. “I won’t let anyone near you.”

I bit my lip nervously…I should probably tell him now. “You’ll have to protect two then…” I murmured and kissed his cheek.

He turned to look at me, a confused smile on his face. “Sorry?” I smiled as I took his hands in mine and placed them over my lower tummy. He gaped as he looked from our hands to me, grinning stupidly. “No way.”

“Yes way.” I shook my head, smiling at his reaction. I leant up and kissed him sweetly. “We’re going to have a baby.”

“So, I guess that’s you, me…and our little devil makes three.” He smirked and I laughed.

“I guess it does.” I smiled as he kissed me again.

“You just made my life perfect.” He whispered against my lips.

“And you sir,” I replied, standing and pulling him with me inside to the bedroom. “Just stole my line…”
