Uptown Girl

Chapter 17: You're Back!

I woke the next day all snuggled up to him. I caressed his face and smiled about yesterday's event. When he made love to me was so amazing. The feeling was overwhelming.

"Morning, gorgeous." He said in a sleepy voice.

"Morning sleepy head." I replied.

"I am going to order breakfast, after that, we can have a little fun. And then we should go to the town and explore it. It's really cute and it's relaxing walking there." He told me while interlacing our fingers.

"I like it. Wish we could live in this place forever and not go back to the city." I pecked his lips, "I love you, thanks for staying with me and loving me." Tears started to fall.

"Always, Princesa. We may fight sometimes, but just know, that I will always be here." He said while wiping my tears.

"I really hope we make it far, cause Ricardo, you're one in a million. And I am never letting you go." I said as I buried my face on his chest.

"Same goes to you." He pulled me into a passionate kiss and we made love again.

It's a good thing I'm on the pill, we just got in the moment and the man forgot protection.

After breakfast and another round, we took a shower and got dressed. We went to explore the town. It was really beautiful. At least no one here knows me.

He took me to the market and let's just say, I stuffed my face in everything they offered. Ricardo laughed and then kissed me. He makes me forget about all the bad things.

"If it isn't Chantelle Black." I turned to see the best uncle in the world.

"Uncle Cole!" I hugged him really tight and then cried.

"Didn't think you would cry just for seeing me." He chuckled.

"I missed you, I wished you still live in New York." I sobbed.

"Well, let's go for a coffee and some cookies. And then we can talk. And you can tell me who this man is?"

I pulled away and introduced them. After a few words, we went to the bakery and order.

"I moved back to New York just yesterday. Bella is there, she's house shopping and since I hate shopping, I gave her my credit card and she can go bananas, which she will." He told us. We just chuckled.

"What about my cousins?"

"They're in Miami, they don't want to trade the tropical breeze for the cold one. They all live under one house."

"I missed you." He reminds me of mom so much. I started to cry.

"What's the meaning of those tears. I know it's not because you only missed me."

"It's just- I-" I buried my face on Ricardo's chest. I couldn't finish a sentence.

"Have you seen the news, social media, anything?" Ricardo asked him.

"Nah, social media sucks, and I'm too busy to watch TV. What happened?"

"Well, keep in mind, we all have a past that we're not proud of." And Ricardo proceeded to tell him everything. He spared no details.

"You're right, we all have past, but that's no reason for someone to expose our secrets. Who did this?"

"Rosalinda and a girl named Linda. Linda has been obsessed with me and Rosalinda hates Chantelle and Rain. So, they plotted and turned everyone against Chantelle." He told him while rubbing my back.

"Of course, Godzilla was behind this. She will pay so hard, I am going to bring her fucking down." I wiped my tears as anger took over me.

"Chantelle, don't do anything to her. Let's pay her the same way she did to you. With social media, she cares about her social life and status. Well we can change that, I got friends in the New York News. They could let you in and you can destroy that Godzilla girl." Uncle Cole suggested.

I laughed at that, "I love you, uncle Cole. Thanks for not judging me. Wish my parents would've reacted the same way." I sighed.

"I'm going to pay them a visit. Hang in there." He smiled while grabbing my hand. Best uncle in the world.

We spent the day the three together, then it was time for him to go back to the city. We went back to the hotel and made love all night.

"I love you."

"I love you more." He pecked my lips.

........

After our amazing weekend there, we returned to the city. I didn't want Ricardo to leave the apartment.

"So, what if you move in with me?"

"Really? aren't we rushing things into moving together?" He replied.

"Yeah, you're right, sorry for asking. Forget that I suggested-"

I was cut by him crashing his lips against mine. "I was kidding, Princesa, of course I will move in with you." He smiled.

"You mean it, or you're just saying yes because you feel bad for me if you reject my offer?"

"I mean it, I love waking up next to you. I want to do this with you." He pulled me into a kiss.

"I love you so much." I kissed him all over his face, he chuckled.

"Let me show you how much I love you." He picked me up and took me to our bedroom. And he showed me a lot. He even put me in positions I never knew existed.

Sounds surreal to say, our bedroom. But being with him makes me happy, Ricardo is my safe place and now, my home.
