Chapter 11

Lawson

I love her.

Head over heels, down the rabbit hole, lost in love with her. And I never want to be found. Over these last two months, I’ve gotten a sense, a real one, of how our lives would be. And its fucking perfect. Cleo is a true partner in every sense of the word. She’s absolutely brilliant with everything I pass her way. Illegal or legal businesses, she knows her shit. When she walked out wearing that red dress, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. She looked like royalty and I wasn’t even worthy of looking at her. Staring at her now across the table I don’t understand why I haven’t even told her how much I love her yet. I’m a fucking idiot. So, to make it up to her, I decided to use this evening, make the first time I say it special.

“Can I offer you some wine?” Our waiter breaks me out of my thoughts. I was just about the ask for the best bottle when Cleo speaks first.

“Just water with some lemon would be great.” She smiles at him.

“I’ll have the same,” I tell him.

Cleo gives me a smile and picks up her menu. “Didn’t want any wine?” I ask, doing the same.

“It would only slow down my eating,” she jokes and I chuckle with her.

One of the many things I adore about Cleo is her eating habits. She loves food and isn’t afraid to show it. “I’m thinking steak, prawns, a baked potato, and broccoli.” I can practically see her drool.

“I’ll have the same.” I close my menu and we give the waiter our order. Throughout dinner we talk a little business, laugh, and discuss the future.

“I was thinking we could do a makeover to the house,” she says shyly.

I’m a little surprised by her lack of confidence about it. “Of course. It’s your house to.” I reach out and grab her hand.

“It’s yours, and I wanted to check before your mom and I change anything.”

“Oh god, you have my mother in on this too?” I groan out.

She giggles. “For creative input, yes. Your house is sparse, all white, cold. Not really a home,” she tells me.

Again, I’m shocked and a little pissed she hasn’t said something before. She should enjoy the place she lives in. “You can do whatever you want with it Cleo, and there’s no need to ask in the future,” I tell her.

She gives me a bright smile then goes on to tell me some of her plans, including the paint color, adding a garden, and new furniture. It all sounds great. I’ve never put much thought in decorating, luckily Cleo can take that off my hands.

“What did you wish for when you were younger?” I ask out of the blue. I want to know, I want to give it to her.

She looks surprised by my question, then seems to think on it. When she finally answers, it damn near breaks my heart. “A family.”

“That’s exactly what you’ll have,” I tell her in a husky voice.
