Only You

Chapter 7

Ryan pov

After I left Danielle went to her salon I met up with James to see the house of Mr. Sean. I have seen it already but I will see it with different eyes now. Soon will be mine to build a life with my Danielle.

“Good morning man”

“Morning James. Is Mr. Sean in the house?”

“You are in a hurry. Come let's drink a coffee. He is at some work, and he tells me he will be here around noon” We go into his house and his wife Penelope is in the kitchen.

“Good morning Penelope! How is the baby?” I ask and she turns around. She smiles

“Good morning Ryan. All good. Just you know, I’m eight months now and I’m getting heavier and heavier. How is Danielle? Did you tell her about the party?” James's birthday is Saturday and they make a party.

“Yes, she will be happy to come,” I say and James gives me the coffee

“Great. We are so happy that you find someone and we will have you here Ryan.” Penelope says and James agrees.

“I tell her about the house. And I want soon to live with me” I say and James spits his coffee

“You? You ask a girl to move in with you?”

“Danielle is not any girl. She is the one. I know it. I feel it. Just like you know about Penelope”

“Yeah. But never before you were like that”

“The woman I had met before wasn’t like Danielle”

“Ryan he is right. Danielle is special” Penelope says and we continue chatting. The time passed and Mr. Sean came. I saw the house again and we agreed to buy it. I tell him to prepare the papers and call me about the signing. Then I go from the salon to have lunch with Danielle.

“Hello,” I say as I enter and Danielle Alexis and a few customers turn their heads. I go closer to Danielle

“You have time later?” I ask her

“Yes. I’m finished with Mrs. Tomson and me free for half-hour. If you want go to wait in the backroom” I nod, I kiss her on her forehead and I go to the back room. I take the food out of the bag, is not much, a turkey sandwich. After ten minutes Danielle enters and I stand up. She comes closer and gives me a long kiss. We break the kiss to breathe and she smiles at me.

“What is it?” I ask

“Nothing just I missed you,” she says blushing

“I missed you too. I saw the house” I say as we sit down next to each other and I give her the sandwich

“And?”

“I close the deal. Tomorrow I will sing, Mr. Sean will call me when the papers are ready”

“That’s good,” she says eating her sandwich

“Oh, Penelope and James are excited that you will come to the party. Alexis can come too if she hasn’t something else to do” I say and she nods

“Sure I will tell her. How is Penelope? This week she had an appointment with her doctor”

“Everything is good. She complained about getting heavier”

“I guess is normal. She has a big boy and the doctor said to her” As we chat she has a text. She took her phone

“My sister to remind me of her premiere next weekend.”

“You will go right?”

“Of course with Alexis. She is already excited to go to New York. She will take me with her to all the stores for shopping” she says laughing

“You like shopping”

“I do but not with Alexis. She is capable to every store to try all the clothes. I go see what I like, try it on, and if it's good I take it”

“It’s the first time to seen a woman to not like shopping”

“I’m not the only one. I’m sure there are more like me” I kiss her lips and I rest my forehead on hers.

“Hi guys” Alexis entered inside and we put some space between us.

“You continue. I will drink little water”

“I have brought a sandwich for you if you are hungry”

“You try a lot to impress me for your benefit Ryan.” She looks at me

“Well, Danielle is happy so you are good for now” I breathe relief and we laugh. I have Alexis's approval so I’m good for now.

“Thanks for the sandwich. I go out my aunt is here for her nails” She leaves the room and I return my focus to Danielle

“You will help with the house?”

“Sure. What do you need?”

“Nothing much, to help me pick furniture, bed,” I say with more meaning the word bed and she smiles

“Okay. We should try it first” she says blushing

“That’s for sure,” I say and I kiss her again. I pull her on my lap and we continue kissing. My hands caress her back and hers are in my hair.

“I mean what I said last night”

“Which of all?” she asks

“About living with me. Take all the time you need. And about your help at the house. I want to decorate as you like. As someday you come to live there. Because one day you will come to live with me. I know it” I say and she smiles.

“I will think about it. I told you last night let’s live in the moment for a while. And when the time is right I will move with you” she says and she kisses me.

“Dany, Mrs. Harles is here,” Alexis says from outside

“I’m coming,” Danielle says, she gives one last kiss and she stands up.

“I will see you later?” She asks and I nod

“Sure. You finish around six right?”

“If change something I will call or text you,” she says and we go out of the room. I say bye and I’m leaving. I will meet Joshua to see the place about our company. He knows a building a few minutes from downtown. I am so excited my life is going so much happier and dreamy. I owe myself and those friends I lost in the war zone to love and live a happy life.
