Josh
I must be dreaming because there's no way that she's actually here with me, in my bed. After the passionate night we had yesterday, it's no wonder she's still resting. Iplayed with a single braid of hers and alternated to caress her beautiful face.
I just can't get enough of her,she's mine now. I'll be damned if I don't up my game and lose her to that Xavier boss of hers.
Kate stirred awake from her sleep. She looked so cute, squinting those beautiful eyes of hers to chase the sleepiness away.
"Good morning." She said, with a breathtaking smile.
"Good morning, beautiful." I pecked her lips. Kate giggled.
"How are you already awake?"
"Just coz." I shrugged, getting to her side of the bed and carrying her to the bathroom.
After having our bath and getting changed, we headed to the dining table to have our breakfast.
"Argh, I forgot I have work today!"
"Why don't we both take a day off?"
Kate hesitated before giving in. "Sure, why not."
We had our breakfast talking about anything that comes to mind.
We decided to go out for a date with the lovely weather outside. It's gonna be so much fun. I can't wait.
We had a picnic by the river at the private park, then we took a walk around Boullevard Street, shopping. We watched a movie at the theatre and also enjoyed watching the sunset together.
We were now driving back home.
"Oh yeah. I just heard that tomorrow night is the day that the engagement party is going to take place."
"Okay. Does that mean you're going?"
"Only if you come with me."
I chuckled. "Of course, I will. Can't dare to leave my baby's side."
Kate smiled as I parked my car in the underground parking lot.
We stepped inside my apartment when Kate stopped in her tracks. She slumped down on the cold floor, her shoulders shaking. I slowly approached her, holding her in my arms. She was crying.
"I don't want to feel this way."
"I know."
Everything we did today was to try and distract her from her Mom's sudden demise. As per Kate's wishes, her mother's corpse was quickly cremated, without wastingany time.

The following night.
I made sure to knock off early at my law firm so that I could quickly get ready for the engagement party.
Kate looked so freaking gorgeous in that blue dress that hugged her body like a second skin.
"You ready?" I asked her as she wore her perfume.
"So ready. Let's do this."
We drove to the hotel adress and damn was I blown away. I recognised a few influential persons among the guests. Kate and I engaged in small talk with some of the guests with most of them offering their condolences to Kate.
The double doors yanked open, catching everyone's attention. The host announced the entry of the two main figures of this party. The room went silent as the two made their way in, with romantic music playing in the background.
Xavier had his fiancée's arm wrapped around his. The two looked so great together, like a match made in heaven. They're so freaking gorgeous!
As the two finally made it to the podium to give their gratitude speech, something in me clicked.
Is that the Riley that I know?
