Amelia Smith POV:
"Mummy! Mummy! Stawp!" My two year old son giggled, screeching as I tickled him.
It's not long before I am laughing with him. My son, Luke.
I smile at him, he was too cute. He looked exactly like me and his father imagined, exactly how everyone else imagined too. He had his black hair and my bright green eyes, he had chubby cheeks and was just the cutest ever.
"Okay, do you want some cookies?" I ask ruffling his hair. His eyes light up and he begins to jump up and down.
"Yeah!" He squeals. He lifts his arms up as he wanted me to lift him. I put him on my hip before walking in to the kitchen. I grab a freshly baked cookie that I let cool down from the batch I previously made.
There was a knock on the door, and I smile.
"Uncle Drew?" Luke whispers, whilst taking a bite out of the cookie.
I keep Luke on my hip and answer the door with a smile.
"Drew-" I'm cut off.
It wasn't Drew, no. It was someone I wished to never see again.
"Mummy, who? Who?" Luke shuffled in my arms. Luke didn't like new people, especially new men. I remembered when he began crying because the postman had a parcel for me.
I put him down, kissing his head.
"Go play with your cars Luke" I force a smile, "Drew would be here in a minute" i say and he nods before bouncing off to play with his toys.
"Who's Drew?"I hear the voice of the man I used to love. The voice that still made my knees go weak.
"That's none of your concern" I say bluntly, spinning on my heel to look at Nick Black. Luke's father and my ex husband. "Why are you here?" I asked, I made sure I looked unfazed but my heart was beating so quickly. How did he find me?
"I think you know why, sweetheart" His voice is gruff and deep, as it always was. Somehow, he looks worse than all the photos in magazines and newspapers. He had large purple bags under his eyes, his black hair was long and almost covered his eyes.
"Don't call me that!" I hiss, the nickname bought back so many memories of us being happy. "I don't know why you are here. You have no right to be here. You cheated on me, remember?" I question, tilting my head to the side and putting my hand on my hip.
"I didn't fucking cheat on you Amelia!" His voice boomed, "I loved you, i still do" His voice broke and it shattered my heart. Though, I made it look like I didn't care. "You are my world" his whispers brokenly, "why would I risk losing someone as valuable as you for her?" he spat 'her'. His eyes softened and he looked at me desperately.
"I don't care what you and that bitch done" I say, the memories flooding my mind. I can't believe of all people it was my best friend, well, now ex best friend.
"Amelia, please believe me" he begs, his eyes seemed to water but I turned on my heel away from him.
"Mummy" Luke runs in, tears running down his face.
"What's wrong baby?" I ask, wiping his tears and lifting him up.
"I hurt" he cried, putting his hand out. I kissed it better, like I knew he wanted me to. He always had.
"Aw my poor baby" I say, hugging him closely to me.
I see Nick look at our son. He didn't know I was pregnant at the time, I was actually planning a surprise to tell him when I found out. However, when I got those photos, I ran away after filling out divorce papers. We argued for a bit and he always tells he didn't. But I knew they were too close.
"Who's son is that?" His voice is soft. He walks in and shuts the door behind him.
I stay quiet, making sure my baby boy was okay.
"How old is he?" He asked.
"2" I say quietly.
Nick eyes widen and his jaw dropped.
"He's mine" he gasped, his eyes filling with adoration as he looked at our son.
"Yeah" I say, kissing Luke on the forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked. He sounded the tiniest bit angry and upset.
"You cheated" I state.
"If only you would have listened to me! This is my son too, Amelia! I missed his first word, his first steps, his birth" he says.
"Well I'm sorry Nick, but I was planning on telling you as soon as I found out that I was pregnant. But then I got the photos of you two cheating and when I came home you were both there! Don't tell me that doesn't seem like you were cheating" I say loudly. I see Luke flinch at my loud voice and I whisper to him that I was sorry.
"I'm sorry" Nick says, "I'm fucking sorry Amelia! I never cheated on you, I never would. Why would I? Everyone knew I loved you more than anything. These past 2 years have been hell for me. It's been hell being without you. Now I found out I have a son too!" Nick cried out, "please sweetheart, I want to make up the time I've been without you both" he says.
"You can see Luke. You can spend time with Luke. It's not fair that you can't see him. But that's all" I say firmly. I looked to see Luke had fell asleep on my shoulder and smiled lightly. He was so adorable.
"I want you, Sweetheart. I love you" he pleads, his eyes showing how heartbroken he was feeling.
"No Nick. It didn't work the first time, what makes you think it would work this time?" I ask and he sighed.
"Please sweetheart" he begs. I almost give in before I remember all the pain and agony I went through.
"No, goodbye Nick. You can see yourself out" I say and stand, putting Luke into bed.
When I went back into the room, I saw Nick look at the photos of my ultrasounds, and Luke when he was born.
"He looks like us" he says softly.
"He does" Luke was the only boy that had my heart. After what happened with Nick, I never got into a relationship again. I couldn't.
"Lia?" Drew walks in and I smile.
"Hey Drew" I grin as he kisses my head.
Drew was my gay best friend, he loved Luke and helped me a whole lot.
"Ah, So you're the boyfriend" I see rage light up in Nicks eyes.
"That's none of your concern. Who the hell are you?" Drew could be pretty scary if he wanted to, but I knew Nick could be stronger.
"That's Nick" I say, placing my hand on Drew's shoulder.
"Luke's father, Nick?" Drew asked and I nodded.
Drew smiled lightly at me.
"I'll text you when I should pick up Luke next" Nick mumbled, his eyes losing the look of determination.
He begins to walk to the door and before he opens it he looked into my eyes.
"I really love you, Amelia. I've never stopped loving you" the look of sincerity made my heart race, "I'll wait for you, sweetheart. I'll wait forever if it takes that long" he murmurs before closing the door behind him.
I'm left a mess, with Drew throwing questions at me.
It was going to be a long day!
Nick Black POV:
"Mr Black" my secretary, Shelley, walks up to me with a document, "here's everything we found" she hands it over, sending me a flirtatious smile.
"Thanks" I say bluntly, "please leave" I say firmly, barely containing my excitement.
Finally... finally, I'll be able to explain what happened to my sweetheart and we could be back together.
I looked in the folder, the first thing that came up was her name: Amelia Smith.
The fact is said smith instead of black broke my heart. I signed the divorce papers after one night that she demanded me to or she would never forgive me. I signed them in hope of a second chance in the future. Now was the time.
The second thing that appeared was her address. I was shocked to see she was in London, when I was in New York.
I called my private jet, making an appointment for a flight in half an hour.
"Shelley" I call.
"Yes sir?" She but her lip.
"Cancel all my appointments for the next month. If anyone calls, register it. Cole will be taking over when I'm gone" i say. Cole was my younger brother.
"Yes Mr Black" she nods before doing as she was told.
Shelley was damn annoying and I was getting annoyed with her flirting.. the only reason I didn't fire her was because she is good at her job.
I walk to my car, calling my parents and putting it on loudspeaker to tell them everything. They were big fans of Amelia, especially my father.
"Hey Nick" mom and dad says simultaneously.
"Hey mom, hey dad. I'm going to London" I say with a bright smile.
Fuck I love Amelia, and I was going to get her back no matter what it takes.
"What? Why?" Mom asked.
"Amelia" I breathed out, "Amelia is there" I didn't tell them I was tracking her down.
"Aw, congrats bud" my dad and I had an unbreakable relationship.
"Thank you" dad loved Amelia like his own, as did mom. They still do.
"Keep is updated Nick, okay? We love you" mom says and I could hear her smile.
"Will do, love you too" I say before hanging up since I was at the airport.
I didn't have to worry about luggage, since I had a lot of clothes everywhere I went. I had the money to buy new clothes whenever anyway.
I got onto my jet, on the table in front of me was Amelia's file and magazines with newspapers.
I carried on reading the file, about her health, her phone number and all of that before I began to look through some articles.
Since I was a famous CEO, I had a lot of paparazzi and they always wrote articles.
2 years ago, before my sweetheart left, the articles always were written about how happy I was. After she left, they made sure to write about how depressed I became and how I buried myself in work.
Today's article, for example, states about how maybe I was in a bad state because of a relationship. It annoyed me at how spot on they were.
I was in a bad state, I started to sleep less when she left. Her heartbroken eyes and teary face never left my mind and stayed there at night.
I knew what happened wasn't my fault, I knew Lily was obsessed with me. But I never looked at another woman when I had Amelia. Heck, even after she left I didn't look at another woman. She was the most beautiful and gorgeous girl in the universe, why did I need to look any further. I had my girl, I had the women of my dreams, well I did have her. Now, I wanted her back.
I tried to take a small nap before I arrived but it was useless. I kept getting nerves, I swear it was like asking her out on a date all over again. This time, however, it was different.
I quickly bought some clothes from the shops before I went to my hotel. It was a nice place but I only went back to shower and change into something a bit better than sweats and a black t-shirt.
Once I'm out, I get a cab since I didn't have time to have a car sent over. I told him the address and arrived not even 10 minutes later.
Wow, she made quite a nice living here. It was a modern house but seemed cosy.
With a deep breath, I knock on the door.
"Drew-" shit, Amelia looked more gorgeous than I remembered. I ignored the fact she must have been waiting for some guy and noticed the shocked look on her face. She was really gorgeous. Blonde hair that was naturally curly with the prettiest green eyes I've ever seen. High cheek bones, plump lips. Damn, she was gorgeous.
"Mummy, who? Who?" That's when I noticed a cute little boy in her arms. He looked like me and her, but I didn't want to make assumptions. Especially since 1- it would be extremely wrong of me to barge in and make accusations and 2- I didn't want to scare them, neither of them.
I was mesmerised when Amelia gently put the boy into the ground, kissing the top of his head.
"Go play with your cars Luke" She force a smile, "Drew would be here in a minute" she adds and the boy, Luke, nods before bouncing off to play with his toys. He was such a bubbly boy, I wandered how old he was.
"Who's Drew?"I ask. I hope to god that she hasn't moved on. If she did, i didn't know what I would do with myself. I wouldn't be able to live. The past two years has proved that. My doctor even diagnosed me with insomnia because I could never sleep and I got told many times I had a drinking problem, by family.
"That's none of your concern" she says bluntly, spinning on her heel to look at Me. The voice she used hurt me and I felt a tug at my heart when she asked, "Why are you here?"
"I think you know why, sweetheart" my voice is low. Surely she knows I still love her. I made it clear the last time I saw her.
"Don't call me that!" She hisses and I take a breath. "I don't know why you are here. You have no right to be here. You cheated on me, remember?" She questioned, tilting her head to the side and putting her hand on her hip. Although she tried to look like she didn't care, I knew she did. I saw how her eyes darkened and breathing faltered as she said that.
"I didn't fucking cheat on you Amelia!" My voice boomed in the empty room, "I loved you, i still do" My voice broke, "You are my world" i whisper brokenly, "why would I risk losing someone as valuable as you for her?" I spat 'her'. I looked at her desperately. I needed her so badly. I needed her as much as I needed oxygen.
"I don't care what you and that bitch done" She says bitterly.
"Amelia, please believe me" I beg, my eyes watering and I knew she saw it because she turned on her heel. Though, this was my true emotions. The thought of not having her broke me.
"Mummy" Luke runs in, tears running down his face.
"What's wrong baby?" She asked softly, gently wiping his tears and lifting him up on her hip.
"I hurt" he cried, putting his hand out. She kissed it better and I felt my heart warm. I always knew she would make an amazing mother.
"Aw my poor baby" she whispers lightly, hugging him closely to her.
I observed Luke again, he looked a lot like me and it was killing me not having Amelia. If I had a son too, I think I would break.
"Who's son is that?" I ask softly but when I didn't get a reply, asked a different question. "How old is he?" I asked.
"2" She says quietly. My eyes widen and my jaw drops as I take in this information. I have a son.
"He's mine" i gasped out loud, my eyes filling with adoration as i looked at our son. He's beautiful, just like his mother.
"Yeah" she says, kissing Luke on the forehead.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. I'm sure I sounded upset and angry but I missed my first and only sons first words and his birth.
"You cheated" She stated stubbornly and I felt like giving up. Would she ever believe me?
"If only you would have listened to me! This is my son too, Amelia! I missed his first word, his first steps, his birth" i say exactly what's on my mind.
"Well I'm sorry Nick, but I was planning on telling you as soon as I found out that I was pregnant. But then I got the photos of you two cheating and when I came home you were both there! Don't tell me that doesn't seem like you were cheating" she says loudly Making Luke flinch.
"I'm sorry" I say desperately, "I'm fucking sorry Amelia! I never cheated on you, I never would. Why would I? Everyone knew I loved you more than anything. These past 2 years have been hell for me. It's been hell being without you. Now I found out I have a son too!" I cried out, this was too much, "please sweetheart, I want to make up the time I've been without you both"
"You can see Luke. You can spend time with Luke. It's not fair that you can't see him. But that's all" she says. I pleaded for her, I wanted them both. I needed them.
"I want you, Sweetheart. I love you" i plead.
"No Nick. It didn't work the first time, what makes you think it would work this time?" She ask and i sighed loudly.
"Please sweetheart" i beg.
"No, goodbye Nick. You can see yourself out" She says before disappearing.
I'm about to leave when I see lots of photos in photo frames.
The first was of Luke's ultrasound, another when he was first born.
Another was Luke hugging Amelia.
"He looks like us" i say softly when I feel Amelia next to me. She was so close I could smell the familiar scent of vanilla that always made me feel at ease.
"He does"
"Lia?" A guy walks in and She smiled. Jealous began to rage in my stomach.
"Hey Drew" She grin as he kisses her head. I felt my fists clench. She was mine, he wasn't allowed to do that.
"Ah, So you're the boyfriend" I say bitterly but try my hardest to be polite. It doesn't work though.
"That's none of your concern. Who the hell are you?"
"That's Nick" She says, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Luke's father, Nick?" Drew asked and She nodded.
"I'll text you when I should pick up Luke next" I mumbled, maybe I should give up. I could always see my son.
Instead of giving up, I imagined Amelia in another guys arms, getting married to another guy so when I'm by the door, I turn to her and tell her honestly, "I really love you, Amelia. I've never stopped loving you, I'll wait for you, sweetheart. I'll wait forever if it takes that long" i murmur before closing the door behind me.
After that, I head to my hotel and can fall asleep.
I guess it drained me out.
Nick Black POV:
**Flashback**
My eyes locked with hers, and I couldn't help but to gape at her. She was gorgeous. Her eyes sparkled as she slowly walked down the aisle.
I watched as she began to look at me, the glint in her eyes that conveyed her true happiness.
"babe" she whispered when she reached me, I took her hand in mine and she smiled. "I missed you" she adds lowly.
"I missed you more" I whisper back, smiling.
I was in awe with her beauty and my breathing hitched when she began to say her vows.
"Nick" she starts, letting out a shaky sigh. I gave her a reassuring smile as she continued, "I knew that you were the one when I laid eyes on you. I remember how stubborn you were in school" she smiled, her eyes tearing up, "you always hated when other guys talked to me because of your insecurity that you were never good enough. But the truth is, you've always been better than enough. I will never ever know how I got so lucky with you Nick. Never" My eyes began to tear up, "and I'll always love you. I never want to argue with you, I never want to lose you." She adds. I see her take another deep breath as a tear fell down her cheek, "I promise to love and care for you, I will try in every way to be worthy of your love. I'll be honest, kind, patient and forgiving. I love you so much, so today I'll give you my heart and forever be with you no matter where our journey leads us. You are my man, my love, my life for today and always"
She smiled gently, wiping my tears away as she quietly whispered 'i love you' for just me to hear.
I smile at her, the women who was going to me mine truly and begin my vows.
"Amelia, today will forever hold a place in my heart. The day you became mine truly, and for forever. Though, you were always mine anyway" She laughed as I brushed away her tears, "I will always remember how kind and genuine you are. You're so down to earth, so beautiful and everyone could tell how much I was in love with you when we first met. My mom even guessed that I was in love with you before she met you because I could talk about you and your beauty for hours. And you were the first one to say 'i love you'. I remember how upset I was because I wanted to tell you first" she grins at that, "but at the same time I couldn't have felt happier. That day, that one day when you said 'i love you' I imagined my future and the rest of my life would be with you. We hardly ever argue, and I'm glad because instead of arguing we are genuinely happy. After my sister died, I didn't think anyone would bring back the happiness I was once felt when she was alive and I miss her everyday, but you made me happy. You always have and I will never understand how I got so lucky with you. I remember everything about you, I remember when I first met you back in high school, I remember how happy you were when I took you out on a date, or when you took me on a date because you said you wanted to make me as happy as I always made you. I remember when we stayed up till 5 AM under the stars just talking about life, I remember when you sat and made me watch titanic, even though I would have watched it with you willingly. I remember when you demanded that you pay at least half for the date because you said it wasn't fair on me, even though I would spend every last penny on you. I remember how creative you are, how you always wanted to be an artist and look at you now" I chuckle as she gazed at me, love in her eyes, "an artist, her work selling world wide. I'm so proud of you, sweetheart" I felt more tears fall as I cherish how lucky I am to have her. "As a thank you for everything you've done for me, I'll always take care of you. I'll always forgive you, I'll always love and cherish you. I promise I won't disagree with you because I know you are always right" she chuckled when I said that, "and I promise I won't ever give you a reason to leave. I promise to make you the happiest girl in the world and treat you like royalty" I finalise. I hear the crowd 'aww' when she cries when I finish with "I love you, sweetheart".
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, Nick, you may kiss your bride" I hear the crowd clap but I was focused on my sweetheart, my wife.
Just as I'm about to kiss her, she whispers "I love you" to me.
"I love you too, sweetheart" I whisper before planting my lips on hers.
