Chapter 22

1 month Later...

Devon's POV-

It's been a month since my father was arrested and brought out on charges of breaking and entering as well as attempted rape. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the past rape charges stick due to a lack of evidence. Now, I know you're all thinking, but what about the photography session with the bed-sheet, the ones that did show my bruises, right? Well, those weren't good enough. My father's defence claimed that it could have been staged. Who the hell would stage something like that on purpose? They clearly had to be demented! With that said, we did have a lucky break because, a young lady came clean about him doing the same thing to her a few years ago, when she was on her way home from the same pub my father liked to get drunk in. She had done a rape kit and DNA helped lock him away for the next fifteen years. Now, a day after his sentence hearing, I sit here, in my apartment, working on my latest design project. I had decided to do my courses by correspondent through an online firm. They've been great so far and I was halfway through the program already. I was looking forward to finally open up my company and really start living. Tomorrow was the day that we celebrated my official freedom.

“Will you hurry up!” Shane tells me. I looked at him with a slight look of annoyance.

“Will you just calm down!” I tell him laughing as I walked up to him. “You just woke me up ten minutes ago and you want me to seriously be completely ready and out the door now for breakfast at your parents?” I put my hands on his chest. “Come on now!” I said on his lips and threw in a pout. I could tell that he was fighting an ever growing urge to pounce on me and that amused me as I walked away seductively, I heard him groan. “What was that?” I said as I looked over my shoulder, slipping into a cute sundress.

“You're gorgeous.” He says, now watching me from the doorway of our room. I walked into the bathroom, quickly putting on some mascara a bit of blush and brushed my hair.

“Let's go.” I tell him, pulling him to the door.

“Simply gorgeous.” He repeats himself.

Sidney's POV-

I was so thrilled to be able and spend an entire day with my girl. A day at the spa was what we decided to have. I couldn't wait to catch up. We had seen eachother relatively every day since she had moved in with us initially but we hadn't had our classic hang out sessions in months. As much as I loved Marty, I missed my girl D.

“I'll see you later around dinner time?” Marty asked me. I nodded as he gave me a kiss.

We enjoyed getting pampered for a while until we sat, our feet soaking, in our massage chairs when one of the spa ladies came into the room with a gift-box. I couldn't help but giggle as I saw Devon's eyes grow as big as dollar signs when the lady stopped in front of her and handed her the box. She looked at me as soon as she opened the envelop that was on top of the box.

“Did you know about this?” She asked me. I shook my head and she handed me the card.

D,

Meet me wearing the contents of this box.

Love,

Shane

“This dude's setting the bar so high for every other man out there.” I look at her as I see her holding up this gorgeous light pink, almost white strapless lace dress. “And you're in so much trouble tonight!” I laughed at her shock.
