The world moves forward. Some days are good and some days are bad but who can complain when you're the daughter to a rich man and your happily engaged to the CEO of his own company. Not to mention you've got two beautiful little girls and your a sta...
I wake up to the tangled mess of sheets and my body messily tangled with Jackson's. I glance around the room before looking up at him softly. He's still sound asleep but I need to get up. "Baby girl..." I look up at him thinking maybe he's awake. But of course he's not. "You couldn't look more beautiful." I smile shifting some and he smiles wider. "I can't wait to say I do." I shift some more trying to get off of him but he places his hand on the small of my back. "I know baby. Honeymoon here we come." I roll my eyes smiling widely. He's dreaming about us getting married. I shake him harshly and he opens his eyes. "Sorry baby there's no honeymoon today." He blushes. "I was...ugh...talking in my sleep again?" I nod.
"It's great to know your excited for the wedding though." I say rolling out of bed. He hums. "How could I not be?" I hum. "Easily." He grabs me pulling me back down onto the bed. "That's so not true." I giggle softly. "It is." I say trying to push him off of me so I can get back up. "I think about it every day." He says softly. I stare up at him. "You do?" He nods softly before leaning in to kiss me. We roll around a bit until I'm under him and he sticks his face in my neck. "Jackie!" I giggle and he doesn't move his face no matter how much I push. His phone rings and he lifts his face. "They start early." I sigh. "It's okay. Take it Jackie." He kisses me long and hard. "I'll come find you when I'm done." I nod softly.
He gets up before helping me up and answering his phone. "Hello?" I step past him out of the room deciding to head to the patio. I open the doors to the patio stepping out before noticing all the people standing at our gate. Some had cameras and some were just shouting. I stumbled back rushing back in to the house. I stumble into the bedroom. "Damn it!" He says running his fingers through his hair before he sees my scared face. "Baby?" I huff. "Who are those people at the gate?" He sighs. "Apparently I'm famous in Rome."

"Famous?!" He huffs. "Yeah the people here now all about me. I'm like a star to them I guess." I huff. "You own a business! You're not an actor!" He cups my face. "Baby take a breath. It's okay. Besides haven't you always wanted to be famous?" I shake my head. "Not really! What the hell are we gonna tell the kids Jackie?! They are piled up at our gates." He kisses me. "We will be okay. I promise you." I nod. "Daddy!" Emma yells running in. "Hey pumpkin!" She giggles. "Mommy who are those people outside?" Sadie asks and I turn to her in the doorway.
"They are just some people here to see daddy." She frowns. "Is daddy in trouble?" Emma asks softly. "No no sweetie." Freddie steps up to the door. "Let's go play with Freddie while mommy and daddy handle this." They nod leaving with Freddie. "There a lady downstairs for you." Jackson and I look at each other.
We head out of the room to the living room and there is this beautiful brunette women standing glancing around the house.

"Who are you?" Jackson smiles. "Teagan this is Luciana." I gasp. "You're Luciana?! You are much prettier in person." She smiles. "It's nice to meet you. So I wanted to make this a surprise but my team has agreed to work with you. That's why your gates are so crowded." He makes a face. "Because you're my contractor?" She shakes her head. "I'm just a lonely contractor. People are just ready to have you set up shop."
He nods. "We have a lot to discuss so we should get started. My people would like to meet so if you don't mind me stealing you away?" I smile when he turns to me. "Go ahead Jackie. I love you." He kisses me firmly. "I love you so much more." I hum. "Now go get dressed and go do your thing." He smiles widely. "It shouldn't take me long Luciana." She nods. "Take you're time."
He leaves and I smile at her. "I'm sorry about last night." She shakes her head. "Listen you have a man who's hard working and a lot of people find him, especially here, charming and a prize. You had every right to assume what you did but I assure you that this man loves you. I've never heard a man talk another girls ear off about a girl. They usually just offer a few drinks and let the girls do the talking." We laugh.
"Jackie hasn't ever been like that. I couldn't tell you why." We gossip some more before Jackson comes down. "I think that's enough girls." He pulls my body into his. "When I get home I want you in the best dress money can buy." He leans into me. "Preferably see through." He says winking. I blush. "Who said you were getting lucky?" He hums. "I already have darling." He kisses me. "I'll be back soon. I know you promised the kids a day out. Have fun and buy anything I would scold you for trying to talk me out of buying for you." I smile widely. "I promise." He pecks my head before heading out the front door with Luciana.

"Look mommy stuffies!" I smile. "You can get one each." They cheer heading into the story and Freddie follows. "Excuse me? You're Teagan, Jackson's girlfriend, right?" (Scusa? Sei Teagan, la ragazza di Jackson, giusto?) I nod. "Sì, signora. Io sono." (Yes ma'am. I am.) She smiles. "Posso fare una foto con te?" (Can I take a picture with you?) I smile. "Um sicuro, ma solo se non ti dispiace me chiedendo perché Jackson è un grosso problema?" (Um sure but only if you don't mind me asking why Jackson is a big deal?) She smiles. "Molti di noi hanno usato per viaggiare negli Stati Uniti solo per i suoi prodotti e siamo così grati e grati non dobbiamo farlo più." (Many of us used to travel to the United States just for his products and we are so grateful and thankful we don't have to do it anymore.)
I hum. "Questo e l'uomo è molto bello." (That and the man is very handsome.) She says softly. I nod before taking a picture with her and run off to find the kids. We buy quite a bit before heading home. We settled in not long before Jackson comes home. I'm laying in bed reading when he comes through the door huffing. "Long day?" He smiles. "Yeah but I'm home now." I smile. "What are you reading?" He asks pulling the clothes from his body.
"I don't know. Just something I picked up. We won't have cable while we are here. I mean it's all in Italian if we did get cable so I've resorted to books. I forgot how much I loved to read." He hums. "I'm marrying a bookworm." I fold my arms. "You are not!" He laughs some.
"Hey I think it's cute." I pout. "You're just saying that." He shakes his head. "No baby I'm not." He falls down next to me pulling me into him. "You'll always be my bookworm." I smile widely hiding behind my hands. He tugs on them. "Love..." He pouts. "I've had a long day. Give me kisses." I shake my head. "You'd be kissing a bookworm." I say softly. "Hey I'll be kissing my bookworm for the rest of my life. Come on now. You know you want to." He says tickling me and my hands drop to grab his wrists. I giggle loudly. "Stop!" He pulls me closer by my hips.
"I love you." He whispers and the smile on my face is still prominent. "I love you too Jackie." I wrap my arms around his neck kissing him. He hums softly. "Gosh I've waited all day for this." I smile. "Hope you didn't mind I got a box of books today. I even got some to read to the kids. Because of course they're all in Italian." He smiles. "Good. I'm glad. If a box of books makes you that happy we can buy tons."
I laugh locking my fingers into the back of his hair scratching. His head falls onto my arm as he hums softly. "So how was work?" He smiles. "It was good. I should only need to be gone for a few more days. The rest Cody can handle and I just need to do paperwork here." I hum. "Good. The kids miss you and I miss you." He smiles. "Really? I assumed you'd be upset that Luciana popped up this morning."
I smile. "Normally I would have been but I know that you love me Jackie and if you messed up even the slightest bit it would shatter you. I trust you Jackie. You care more for this family than you do for a lot of things." He kisses me. "I could not have expressed it better. I'm gonna shower I guess. Would you like to order dinner or I can have Freddie go to the store. Either is fine." I shrug. "Doesn't matter though I'm sure Freddie's tired. It may be easier for us to just order something." He pecks my lips. "Okay well think and dive that head of yours into that book. My little bookworm." I roll my eyes. "It's weird. Please stop." He hums. "Never." I huff and he gets up heading to the bathroom. I smile softly to myself before returning my attention to my book and diving right back in to read.
