Ivy's POV
"Hmm..." I moaned "Your pancakes are divine. I could live on this forever"
He smiled at me as she ate to my satisfaction.
"Glad you're enjoying it" he said still watching me.
I finished the last piece.
His mood had changed.
"What is it?" I asked him
He looked at me and sighed
"We didn't get to finish our conversation yesterday"
"Which...?" I began
"There's something you need to know Ivy" he said seriously
I got up and went to sit beside him on the long sofa
"What is it?" I asked
He was quiet as he just stared at me
"Tell me. What's it about?" I asked him
"It's about my father...and your parents" he said
My brows creased
"What about them?"
"I want you to listen till the end before you speak, okay?" He said
"Okay" I said
He sighed again
"Seven years ago my dad's company went bankrupt. He couldn't do anything except watch his years of hard work crumble. He was loosing everything and he couldn't do anything. Not enough money to bring the company out of its misery" He paused "One day your dad called my dad and asked them to meet up. My dad came home that night and told me your parents had offered him a deal"
I nodded for him to go on.
"I get to take over your dad's seat at Thompson's Publishing and my dad uses the money to fix his company" he paused "Your parents offered your hand in marriage"
My face fell. My heart slipped and fell.
"Your parents were doing us a favour and instead of asking for something in return, they gave something else in return. At first, I didn't know it was you. I mean both our parents knew we hated eachother back then and they still planned our marriage. I don't understand why they did it"
My parents stole my dream from me.
I thought it was Dave.
All this time I blamed him for it.
I blamed him for everything and it was all because of my parents.
Why?
Why would they do it?
My parents love me. They'd never do anything irrational.
As much as I knew they had a reason for it. I was mad.
Mad at the fact that they didn't tell me about it.
Mad at the fact that they made me believe it was Dave that stole my dream.
As much as I wanted to be CEO, Dave is doing well. So I'll just have to give it up.
Not because I don't want it. But because the company will be in good hand.
But my parents.
What were they thinking?!
"Ivy?" I snapped out of my thoughts
"Yes?" I looked at him
"Are you okay?" He asked, holding my hand
I nodded
"Just thinking of why my parents would do that" I said "They'd never intentionally want to hurt me. But I'm mad at them for not telling me about it in the beginning. They made it sound like you were the one who offered to get married to me. I thought you were making them make me get married to you. Plus, that also led me to think you stole being CEO from me" I looked away
I sighed
"All my life, I've always seen Thompson's Publishing as an extended family. I sorta grew up there. If I wasn't at school or at home, I'd be there. I love it soo much" I paused "When we were asked what we wanted to be at school, I always knew I wanted to be 'CEO of Thompson's Publishing' one day. My life revolved around it. I studied Business cause of that. I didn't have much interest in anything else. My motivation was Thompson's Publishing." I sighed "But sometimes, dreams aren't meant to be fulfilled" I smiled "I could always be VP, right?" I looked at him, smiling
He was staring at me in a way I didn't understand.
"What?" I asked
"You love it soo much" it wasn't a question
I blinked and nodded even though it wasn't a question.
"But its in the past now" I said "Now, I'm gonna focus on being a good VP and the best Wife"
He smiled
"I like the latter" he pulled me to him
"Of course you do" I said as he leaned closer to me
"I could show you a few tricks to help with that" he said
"Really" I said
"Yes" he said
"Well then..." I began "...show me. When we get back" I stood up, pulling him from the sofa out of the cabin
"Ughh!" He groaned "Tease!"
I smiled
"I'm sore"
"Thought you said you didn't mind" he smirked
"It was my inner sex goddess that was talking then"
He stopped
"Inner. Sex. Goddess?"
"Yes" I said "Every girl has one. It just takes a lot of sex and practise to get her out. She's very...wild, rough and...in general, she's kinky. But sometimes she can be tamed"
Dave stared at me, open mouthed
I laughed
"What?!"
He shook his head
"What kind of books do you read?"
"I told you, Romance" I said
"Sounds like porn to me" he said
"Fifty shades of Grey is not porn" I defended the book
"Fifty shades of what?" He looked confused
"Of Grey. That book is amazing. It's like a whole different world on its own. You get so lost in it, you start to think every single guy, in and out of the book, is fifty shades fucked up. Sometimes you wish you could have someone like him"
"Like who?" Dave snapped me out of my imagination
"Christian Grey." I said "You wouldn't understand. Let's go"
We had fun in the water and on the sand before we finally retired to the cabin.
Tired and spent.
I had energy for something else but sadly, Dave declined.
Said I needed to rest every part of me before we resumed the love making.
Damn.
How long will this resting thing take?
I hope he doesn't hold back for too long cause I can't.
With that, I fell asleep.
