Sienna’s POV
Alexander kept his word and we stayed inside my apartment for the next day and a half getting to know each other again, intimately.
We woke up that Monday morning wrapped up in each other not really wanting to get up out of bed, honestly I could have stayed another day in bed with my man, just the two of us
“Excited to go look for our future home today my love?” he says to me nuzzling his face into my neck “Mmmm yes but I’m not ready to leave our bed just yet” I say as he softly chuckles “I know, we’ve literally be naked for 36 hours, it’s going to be weird leaving this bed let alone putting clothes on” we both laugh
“You know before we start looking at places there is somewhere we have to go first” I say to him as he nods “Yes, I know, I’m sure they will be happy to hear the news” he replies
Eventually we get up out of bed and have a shower, we get dressed before grabbing some quick breakfast and heading uptown
I texted them before we went over to ensure it was a good time to visit “Hello! Good to see you both” Jean-Marc welcoming us at the door “You too! How are you all doing?” I ask as we quietly come inside their apartment
“Good, Violetta is sleeping at the moment and Scarlet is getting most of her strength back now, it’s been almost two months since the birth and every day just gets better”
We walk in and see Scarlet sitting on the couch smiling, she looked good but a bit pale and fragile, she had lost a lot of weight since the birth
I walk over to give her a hug, I sit opposite her while Jean snuggles in next to her placing his arm around his wife as Alexander sits next me “So we kind of have news we want to share…” I say as I see Scarlet’s face light up “OMG YOU’RE ENGAGED?” she shouts
The three of us laugh at her excitement “No, no, no engagement, my god Scar don’t scare the guy away, anyway, maybe you should tell them handsome?” I say placing my hand on Alexander’s knee
“Well I quit my job so I can move to New York to be with Sienna, we’re going to start looking for a bigger place and seeing as you’re Sienna’s current landlords it was probably best to let you both know first” Alexander smiles taking my hand in his “That’s amazing news guys, we’re so happy for you both” Scarlet beams
“Absolutely! Will be so good to have you here full time in New York, it’s actually a coincidence because I was recently looking at purchasing an investment property, one of the guys from work was going to sell it for a very reasonable price, Scarlet and I haven’t had a chance to go see it yet, maybe the four of us could go?” Jean-Marc states
I looked over at Alexander’s face to try and read his facial expressions to know what he was thinking, I didn’t want him to feel like he had to agree to Jean and Scarlet offer, if he wanted us to do it on our own terms than I would be comfortable with that
“Yeah, sure we can go have a look” Alexander nods “Great! let me give him a call now” Jean-Marc smiles as he gets up to leave the room, Scarlet also excuses herself to check on the baby
“Alexander, we don’t have to take their apartment, if you want this process to just be you and me with no one else’s involvement I’m okay with that” I say to him as I place my hand on his knee again
“I appreciate that Si, I’m happy to look at the place, if it’s not for us we will just politely tell them that” he says smiling
“I still can’t believe we’re looking for our own place together, it feels like a dream” I say to him unable to wipe the smile off my place “Me too baby, having you in my arms every morning is going to be amazing in many, many ways” he winks, naughty man
The four of us head over to the apartment, we arrived at a beautiful building with a very formal door man greeting us, Alexander and I look at each other knowing this apartment was most likely going to be too extravagant for us
We went up to the 34th floor Apartment 344 and walked into a stunning home “Oh my gosh, this is amazing” I say picking up my jaw from the floor
Jean and Scarlet head to the kitchen as Alexander and I check out the bedroom “Baby, this place is beautiful but it’s too much” I say to him “It is a stunning home Si, I think the rent is going to be pretty high” he replies
We check out the rest of the rooms and meet with Jean and Scar at the front of the apartment “Wow, it’s lovely isn’t it?” Scarlet says to us “Yeah it’s incredible, a lot more upmarket than we were probably thinking though” I say to them both “Oh don’t let that worry you, why don’t we all think about it and speak again in a couple of days times?” Jean-Marc states as we all agree
Alexander and I decided to grab some brunch before I had to head into college for a few afternoon classes and lectures “So had you found any places online?” I ask him as I tuck into my omelette “A few, If Jean and Scarlet buy that place as an investment do you want to consider it?” he asks me, I shake my head “It’s too much, I mean you don’t have a job right now and I only work at the Fashion House a few days a week, I have no idea how we would pay the rent, I don’t want Jean and Scar to think we’re some charity case they have to help out, I want to stand on our own two feet and be independent” I tell him
Alexander’s POV
I could understand Sienna’s concerns about the apartment, it was much more than we expected or wanted but financially she didn’t have to worry, when Kate and I divorced our house sold for a lot more than expected and I had only been renting the townhouse when I was living in California, James was also a very generous boss and I had made some good money working for him
I was conflicted about what to do, I wanted to give my queen a palace to live in but at the same time I wanted to respect her wishes for us to do this on our own, I guess I would think it over too
After our brunch I kiss Sienna goodbye and head back to her apartment to get changed, I had a job interview with some Wall Street high flyer who needed a private pilot on call 24/7, I didn’t know how demanding he would be but the job paid well and I was hoping it will be a similar agreement to James’, I also had an interview later in the week for some freelance work looking over aviation training manuals
After my interview with Ryan, the investment banker, I was secretly hoping not to get the job, he seemed like such a wanker and appeared to have taken the movie ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ as a guide on how to live life rather than a frank warning, I don’t know if I had ever met anyone so obnoxious
I get back to Sienna’s apartment and decide to do something special for my beautiful girl, I knew she was going to be home any minute now so I fill up the bath tub with warm bubbly water, on my way home I had picked up some chocolate covered strawberries, roses and champagne, I light up a few small tealight candles in the bathroom to give us a bit of mood lighting
After the afternoon I had I couldn’t wait to just have a nice long soak in the tub holding my love in my arms drinking in her intoxicating scent and having my fingers all over her soft silky skin
“Handsome, are you here?” she calls out “Bathroom baby” I reply “Oh my god, what is all this?” she says as her eyes light up “Just a little bit of romance for the woman I love” I say to her as I slowly undress her, my mouth starts trailing kisses down her neck as she lightly moans
“You wouldn’t be trying to seduce me, would you now Mr.Rose?” she says as her last piece of clothing falls the to floor “Absolutely I am, Miss. Hazelwood” I smirk as I lift her up and softly lower her into the tub joining her immediately
She leans back in my arms as I pour some champagne and feed her some strawberries “Tell me about your day handsome” she asks, I tell her about the jerk off I could be working for soon and my other perspective job opportunities, she proceeds to tell me about college and how we feels like she has finally caught up after her accident, she turns around to face me as she tells me more about her day
After our bath I wrap her up in a big fluffy towel and lower her into the bed “I want to make love to you Sienna, not sex, make love, I want to kiss every single inch of your body and worship you like the goddess you are, I need you to feel the love that I have for you” I say to her as I kiss down on her lips
“Mmm Alexander, that’s so beautiful and romantic, I love you baby” she replies “Love you forever Sienna” I whisper back as I move my whole body on top of her
As promised I made love to my beautiful woman for the next hour, savoring her body and touch, I never knew love could feel this way, the love I had for her was so deep, so intimate, there was no doubt in my mind that we belonged together, she is my everything
One week Later
Sienna and I were about to head out for dinner when we hear a knock on the door, it was Jean, Scarlet and Violetta, we invite them in and I grab Violetta straight away, she was so damn adorable “You’re so good with her” Scarlet says to me “She’s perfect” I reply smiling
“We came over to tell you guys that we bought that apartment and if you want to be our tenants we’d really love that” Jean-Marc tells us “Thank you, that’s such a sweet offer but we can’t accept, I know we couldn’t afford the rent for a place like that” Sienna replies
“We can work out an arrangement, I mean after all your’re family, let us help you out” Scarlet tells me “I know but we don’t want charity, we want to stand on our own two feet” Sienna states looking at me as I nod “Do you like the apartment?” Scarlet asks “Of course, it’s beautiful but that’s not the issue” Sienna replies “What does Alexander think?” Scarlet asks with everyone’s eyes now firmly on Violetta and I
“Honestly, I love the apartment and I appreciate the generosity of you both but if Sienna isn’t comfortable with taking it then I have to respect her wishes” I state feeling conflicted
I see Sienna face turn as she shrugs “Come on Cuz, take the apartment, let us help, I know you’d help us if we were in the same situation plus you’ll be close to Aunt Betty and us…. Violetta needs you guys close….” Scarlet says playfully nudging Sienna while drowning her in guilt “Finnneeee, we will take the beautiful apartment” Sienna caves as Scarlet claps excitedly
We all went out for a drink to celebrate apart from Violetta who just stuck with milk, I was so excited to be starting our lives together, getting to set up our apartment with our things, making memories in our apartment and of course christening every room, it finally felt like everything was falling into place
One Month Later
“Baby, do we need more boxes?” I hear Sienna call out “Maybe just one more” I reply packing up her plates and bowls “Here we go handsome” she smiles as she gives me a playful smack on my butt as she goes past
An hour later after continuous packing I suggest to Sienna that we take a break and go out for ice cream “I’ll miss the neighborhood around here” Sienna remarks as we slowly walk back to the apartment “Me too but just think of all the places we get to explore and try out in our new neighborhood” I reply grabbing her hand in mine “It’s exciting, no doubt” she smiles
As we arrive home we see something very unexpected waiting at the front door, it was Brandon and he looked really upset “I’ve been trying to call you” he says in a monotone voice “Sorry Son, I left my phone inside, we just went to get ice cream, what’s happened?” I ask crouching down facing Brandon as he leans up against the front door sitting on the ground his head between his legs
“Its’ Mom… she’s dead” his voice breaks and my heart immediately stops
