So Happy and Yet So Sad

Chapter Fourteen: So Happy and Yet So Sad

Hallie

How was it possible to be blissfully happy and incredibly sad at the same time? Both emotions whirled through me as I lay in the dark in the early morning the night after Nate touched me in a way I’d never been touched before.

I wasn’t a virgin when I met Nate, and while I wouldn’t say I had a ton of experience, I had enough to know the way he touched me last night was different. Not just different from the way he’d touched me before, which had been many different ways. What he’d done to me last night had been so completely different from any of the few other men I’d been with. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. A day in which I fell even deeper in love with Nate, and therein lay my problem. As happy as I was with him, I knew falling for him was only going to lead to heartbreak. While I believed Nate enjoyed his time with me, I also knew that our time together, at least our intimate time, would come to an end. Even if we continued a sexual relationship after our fake marriage, eventually, he’d lose interest and move on. He may not be a shallow horndog as I’d once thought, but he wasn’t a man who wanted to make a long-term commitment in his personal life.

But it was hard to keep my emotions in check. The day before had been perfect from start to end. I’d woken and found him out in the pool, swimming, as I did nearly every morning. His gloriously naked body gliding through the water. When he got out, all his beautiful ornate tattoos glistened as the sun shone down on his slick wet chest. I wanted to run my tongue over every inch of him.

We ate breakfast on the porch, and he asked me what plans I had for my house. I showed him the new additions to my house book, and later that morning he drove me to a home improvement store where we gathered additional paint swatches, flooring and backsplash samples, and more. It was so sweet, and at the same time sad because all this stuff was for when our charade was over, and I was in my own house again.

Later, as we drove to his mother’s home, I was nervous as a woman in love would be when meeting the family. I wanted his mom and brothers to like me, which was ridiculous since all this was fake. While at his family’s home, I’d learned more about him, and I fell even harder and deeper for him than I’d already had. There was definitely more to him than just building a successful business and womanizing.

His brothers liked to pick on him, but he picked back, and underneath it all was love and respect. I suspected that raising four boys wasn’t easy, but his mother did so with grace.
