“What I said earlier... it might’ve come out in the heat of the moment but it was true, what I said was true... I stopped seeing other people because I just think of you when I’m with them…” Serena confessed, moving to lay on her side again so she didn’t have to see his face. “Started making more effort without realising why at first - it’s because I started to care what you think... dangerous indeed...”

“They’re talking about planning their wedding so... left them to it.” Bella said as she came up behind him, leaning her head on his shoulder.

“How soon would you be up for a wedding?”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 16:00

"End of the year, beginning of next?"

"They've only just gotten back together," Ronan sighed in frustration. "I don't like this, at all. She is just going to hurt him again in some way or another, I wish he would of sent her away."

"Ah, so... what are we going to do with all of this new information then?"

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 16:07

“As awful as it sounds... at least we know she doesn’t want his kids. A wedding... if it happens he can divorce her when she hurts him again, but if they’d had that kid he’d be tied to her forever. So hopefully he sees the light before she gets pregnant again.”

“Sounds perfect.”

“I… I wish I knew… I don’t want to ruin what we have.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 16:38

"Lets just take it as it comes then? No pressure, no labels.. when the time is right then it will just happen naturally."

"Great," She grinned, kissing his cheek.

"It is just ashame it even has to happen again; I'd hoped he had learned his lesson."

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 16:56

“Love makes people stupid...”

“But for now… we’re exclusive? Or are you - are you seeing someone else too?”

“You’re sure this is what you want?”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 20:07

""I'm not seeing anyone, we are exclusive." Kadir agreed gently with a warm grin. "Though I feel even calling us exclusive is some kind of label, isn't it?"

"It is exactly what I want."

"Mm, it certainly does. It is just horrible to watch."

Sienna made her way through Altair's home, knocking cautiously on the door of the board room and pushing it open so she could peek inside.

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 20:39

“If we go to that gala together... we’re gonna be labelled anyway so... I’d rather us have one we agree on mm? I’m... I’m not opposed to it.”

“Good, future Mrs Levi.” Rhys grinned.

“At least Esme will get to wear a dress... we have to find some positives mm?”

Kari was in the middle of presenting, the screen behind her filled with spreadsheets and figures. Her brothers and their grown up children all looking bored to tears. Half way through a sentence Karsi noticed Sienna, stopping and crossing her arms. “Maddox, deal with your offspring quickly, please.” She said tersely, rubbing her temple with her hand.

Maddox, along with the others, turned to face Sienna. Sighing deeply he got up from his seat, marching over.

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 20:46

Sienna narrowed her eyes at her aunts words, visibly wrestling with her self-control as she worked not to say anything in retort. As soon as her father was close enough, she wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into his chest; body trembling slightly.

Ronan snorted softly, "Esme always wears plenty of dresses. It is her permanent wardrobe."

"Okay then; exclusive it is."

Cleo returned the smile.

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 20:51

“You can’t just show up here Sienna.” Maddox pulled away from her, drowning deeply. “If we’d have had investors in there you would’ve blown it.”

“So much for smashing gender norms mm?”

“You’re... okay with that label?”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 20:54

"Grayson screamed at me, then blocked the door a- and I felt trapped a- and I just.. I just really needed you." Sienna stumbled then, physically flinching when he pulled away and looking up at him. Tears in her eyes.

"Feminism is about a girl, or woman, wearing or behaving anyway she likes right? Esme is proof of that."

"I am,"

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:04

“What happened with Gray? Why was he shouting at you and blocking you in?” Maddox sighed, gesturing for her to sit down on one of the chairs in the reception area.

“Anyway she likes a bit too literally sometimes, little madam she can be.” Bella chuckled.

“Me being cautious... isn’t anything personal. I just want you to know that.” Serena whispered as she lifted her head to look at him. “You... you’re basically... everything I’ve ever wanted in a partner. You say it’s a slip in the mask, and it’s too much but... the flowers and the texts and all of it… what just happened… and it scares me that I feel like that because I don’t want to get hurt...”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:10

"Can't- Can't tell you." She whispered shakily, sitting back on the chair and putting her head in her hands. "He'll never speak to me again if I tell you, he said that."

"She is perfect, as Eric will be too."

"I think we are both scared." Kadir empathised gently. "We've both been hurt, I- I've never had such a stake in my past lovers like you have with yours, never a fiancè or a kid but the emotion was still there."

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:16

“I’ve been engaged twice and you’re the first one to get me flowers... it scared me. The affection scared me at first because I realised how easy it would be to love you... and how much it would then hurt if you didn’t feel the same...”

“I’m grateful we have them.” Bella smiled softly, resting her hand on her stomach as she watched Esme. “For you...”

“You’re secret keeping? That’s not like you.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:19

"Grayson said he would never speak to me ever again if I said, b- but I need to say, but he got mad a- and..." Sienna sobbed then.

"For me?"

"Really? You've never been brought flowers?"

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:27

“My siblings and I send flowers to each other often but you’re the first person I’ve been romantically involved with that’s bought me flowers...”

“Mm; I’m always grateful for you.” Bella nodded. “Every day.”

“Sienna, we don’t keep secrets.” Maddox frowned as he rubbed her back gently. “We agreed.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:31

"He's taking shit.... he says it isn't a problem but he wouldn't let me take them away for a few days so he could prove it. Apparantly it's like coffee to him." She answered shakily, clinging onto him. "Threstened to tell you Nova and I have had sex if I to you, as if you don't already know deep down anyway."

"That's.. just not good enough. What were these men playing at, hm?"

Ronan smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist.

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:35

“I had hoped not.” Maddox grimaced, sighing softly. “Are you being careful?”

“Just not romantics... some people aren’t are they? And I didn’t want to force them... can’t force people...”

“Even when you’re not soft.” Bella teased.

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:39

"Mhm. I- it isn't important, don't turn this into being mad at me. Grayson is going to end up dead somewhere and I don't know how to save him." She sobbed.

"You deserve people to treat you."

"Oh really? That is a revelation." Ronan laughed.

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:39

"Mhm. I- it isn't important, don't turn this into being mad at me. Grayson is going to end up dead somewhere and I don't know how to save him." She sobbed.

"You deserve people to treat you."

"Oh really? That is a revelation." Ronan laughed.

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:43

“I appreciate it, all of it...”

“I love all of you, I may prefer soft Ronan but I love the tough exterior too.”

“I’ll have a word with his mother, we’ll get him sorted. You did well to speak to me Sienna.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:47

"He yelled and blocked the door.. it was like.. I- it made me feel sick."

He leant down to kiss her cheek gently.

Kadir laughed quietly, "I appreciate that you appreciate it."

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 21:54

“Don’t make me regret telling you that.” Bella smirked, catching his lips.

“Im trusting that you won’t hurt me... my heart is in your hands right now.” Serena whispered

“I’ll leave his mother to deal with him because if I see him I’ll kick his arse for it.”

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:59

"T-Think I am fine un-until moments like that. Nev.. Never meant to ruin your meeting, I'm sorry... I-I just needed you."

"I won't hurt yours, even if you choose to hurt mine
I'm careful with hearts. They're as fragile as glass, hm?"

Ronan kissed her back deeply.

**BestNameEva** Mon 8 Mar - 21:59

Ronan kissed her back deeply.

Phoenix Mon 8 Mar - 22:06

“And glass is even more fragile when it’s already cracked.” Serena nodded, taking his hand and kissing his palm.

“Don’t be sorry.” Maddox shook his head, moving to pull her into his arms. “I’m sorry I snapped.”

“I love you.”
