A Million Way's To Love You™∽For All Time∽♥Book 5

∽Chapter 23∽

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

After finally finishing up the last of the invitations, I moved on to my next project; A time and actual, final date. That's a bit of a problem. The chapel we have reserved, are filled with dates for other weddings. So this means since they are really booked, we will either have to find another chapel or decide on an earlier date than what we came up with. All of this is done with constant scrutiny of the media.

Brandon and David were literally hounded at Sweet Gina's as they were leaving. It is sickening. Therefore, I called Yuli over to talk about this. She returned from Israel not too long ago. She is much better and happier. I'm happy for her and her family. Since Michael couldn't get Jordyn to nap, Yuli is bringing Carson for a little play-date. It's great for Jordyn to socialize and even better for me to relax, when she's busy.

Just as I was finishing up my cleaning in Jordyn's play room, The doorbell rang. I set down the remainder of her toys and wait for Michael to answer. He is supposed to be in the kitchen feeding Jordyn. After three minutes, I finally hear Michael and another  person laughing and chatting about God knows what. I stand up and glance at my work. Pleased with my cleaning, I walk out and make my way down the stairs.

As I was descending down the stairs, Michael and Marcus are slowly walking up. Jordyn is latched onto Michael's hip as he pauses to make another joke. I shake my head and walk towards them. "Hey Marcus. How are you?", I ask interrupting them. Michael and Marcus pause before Marcus acknowledges me. "Oh hello Marilyn. I'm sorry but, is it okay if I steal Michael away? ", I glance at Michael and giggle.

"Just as long as you don't run away together. Now go on, talk about your business stuff.", I insist, stealing Jordyn away from Michael. Marcus chuckles and continues walking up the steps. Michael makes a Face at Jordyn. "Daddy will be right back...", I rock Jordyn, planting a few kisses on her forehead. "You hear that? Daddy will be right back peaches.", Michael chuckles and stops beside me.

"I was talking to mama. Be a good girl...", He says seductively. I push him away a little, giggling. "Don't you have a meeting?", He notes down on his bottom lip. "Yeah... But that will be later. ",-"What do you mean?", He glances at Jordyn. "You'll see...", He finally replies, his almond eyes meeting mine. "You'll see...", He repeats, continuing his route towards his office. I watch for him until he is no longer in sight.

"Your daddy... Is a crazy man.", I joke, switching Jordyn on my right hip. She giggles, clapping her hand's. I give her another quick peck on her forehead before stepping off the last step.  As soon as I walk into the living room, the door bell rings again. Jordyn squeals while clapping. I laugh lightly and exit the living room. I'm guessing this is Yuli; I sure hope so. Once I reach the door, I slowly open it, revealing a smiling Yuli and a slightly taller Carson.

He's actually walking. I gasp, watching him stumble inside. Yuli guides him inside as she blushes. "I know what You're going to say, he's walking. It took Ryan and I awhile but we finally accomplished that stage.", Yuli explains, taking Carson's hand before he ran into the coat rack. I let out another giggle. "This is wonderful! My little nephew is walking!", Yuli nods.

"Yes. I remember when we we're teaching Dylan to walk and he just looked like a big bobble head!", I shake my head, bursting into laughter. "Leave my baby boy out of this!", She doesn't reply just continues laughing. "Where's your famous husband? ", She asks after her laughter dies. "Famous? Michael is upstairs with Marcus. ", I answer, nonchalantly.

"Michael is well known. And after your eventful trip to Soho, he is definitely under the radar of many tabloids. ", Yuli stresses, walking into the living room. I place Jordyn in her Scoot-N-Go. Turning to Yuli, I furrow my eyebrows. "What are you saying? ", Yuli sighs then gestures Carson to play with the toys I stacked in the far corner of the living room. He stumbles over towards the toys and instantly finds Jordyn's rocking horse a likely subject for playtime. Turning my attention back on Yuli, who was making her way to the couch, I follow behind her.
