forever to be mine

chapter 5

The sun was shining through the linen curtains as Katelyn struggled to open her eyes, the sun was blinding her.. " Oh to hell with it she thought it's Sunday, everyone lies in on a Sunday. Struggling to pull the duvet up higher she found something heavy was lying on it, it was an arm an arm she knew only too well that had been holding her all night and was not about to let go now. Joel looked up at her with puppy dog eyes : Morning baby, what would you like for breakfast?, he said leaning forward to give me a delicate kiss on the lips. With one hand under the duvet i could feel my clothes were still intact, "He really is perfect" i thought to myself. I sank deeper into his kisses, my body weakening with every touch, his hands feel like silk against my skin, as he traced his hand along my shoulder and slipped the strap of my dress down my arm. Kissing the naked skin started a fire in my belly that i had never felt before only he can quench it now. Wrapping my legs around him i gave in to temptation and let him take charge he seems to know what hes doing and damn is he doing it well.

Laying back into Joel's arms i couldn't help but smile it was just him and me nothing else mattered the world could stop turning it wouldn't bother either of us. Joel looked down on me "you OK baby" he said softly, nodding my head he pulled me in tighter to him and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, " Ti amo il mio fiore piccolo  " Pulling away i asked what does that mean?? " It means I love you my little flower in Italian"  Trying hard to forget that he just told me he loves me i quizzed him some more on his heritage turns out his family are from Val Chisone west of Turin, when his grandmother left Italy she met Joel's grandfather David Campbell and fell in love, shortly after they got married Genevieve became pregnant with Juliette- Joel's mum, together they ran a small restaurant, until Genevieve died 8 years ago.

Snuggling back into my cosy spot on Joel's chest with my shoulder resting under his arm i tried to close my eyes and get some sleep i had a feeling today was going to be a long day starting with explaining how in the hell i was in Joel's room all night.

Sleep came silently to Katelyn, as Joel held her in his arms his heart almost burst with pride that this incredible beauty was with him in his bed, not because she knows he has money because of course she didn't have a clue, she is there because she likes him and heaven knows maybe even love him. Joel thought about the evening they shared together the night before how elegant  and beautiful Katelyn was as she held his arm at the party, his mother beamed with joy at how happy Joel was. "I have to do something for her he thought, picking up his mobile he text his friend " Hey man major op needed at 16 Pattinson drive need done today J" Nudging Katelyn awake he thought about his plans for the day and how he would keep Katelyn busy till her surprise was ready. "Splendida mattina" he whispered in her ear placing a soft kiss on her lips, "Good morning to you too" what time is it?? i really should be heading home iv so much work to catch up on" I pleaded " No wait" he begged " i really want you to spend the day with me. please today is Emma's anniversary i don't want to spend it alone  besides i was hoping you'd stay for breakfast my mom is dying to meet you", taking my hand in his no doubt to stop me from running he said "I also want to take you for dinner tonight? My parents are going out for a family meal to celebrate Gabby's birthday but i want tonight to be just us- I never go to those things just reminds me too much of Emma, I love Gabby with all my heart don't get me wrong but i like to spend her anniversary my way. " Sure , whatever you want- but i have to nip home and get some clothes I'm embarrassed at your mother seeing me in the same clothes i arrived in last night are still on, " wait here i'l be right back" as he ran out the door. Moments later he returned with a pair of faded blue jeans and a light pink jumper, " These were Emma's he said handing them to me they should fit, just as he handed them to me a horrible thought came to mind "Is he trying to replace his dead sister with me??" What?? no of course not he's trying to spare me the walk of shame as i go down for breakfast with the mob bosses!

Breakfast wasn't as bad as Katelyn had thought it would be, Mrs. O' Connor was actually really nice thought she spent most of the time fussing over Gabby. The time flew by and in no time at all they were saying there goodbyes and Joel and Katelyn were gone.
