You Are Mine For Keeps. Sensual Connections
Daisy and Ugo had met first at Lilycity, when Daisy traveled to visit her grandmother. Then they ran into each other again during college at Bronx where their friendship kicked off officially as flatmates and later roommates. Ugo was the sibling Daisy never had and Daisy, the sibling Ugo never had. Overtime, their relationships spread across both parents such that when Ugo decided to practice at Fairview, her parents didn't object because the Ledwigs were now living in the same city. The intercom buzzed causing Daisy to jump, making her realize how nervous she was. She sighed, realizing she forgot to tell the front desk Brett was coming back. She looked at Ugo. "I’ll get him. Are you going to be okay riding over with Eric and my mom?" "Are you kidding. Eric is like the coolest chauffeur and bodyguard in town and your parents, they adore me." Her smile dimmed. "Having second thoughts about going with Lexington?" Daisy took a deep breath, remembering the spark that transpired between
You Are Mine For Keeps. Longing To See Again
A smart dark limousine was waiting at the curb, and the driver opened the door when Brett and Daisy stepped outside. Daisy slid across the seat at the opposite side and adjusted her gown. When Brett settled beside her and the door shut, she became highly conscious of his vibrating closeness, the masculine fragrance of his cologne, breathing him in, and telling herself to relax and enjoy his company. Brett took her hand, swallowing hard, he shut his eyes briefly and breathed in, wishing this little moment would never end. Daisy was looking like a snack, carefully baked with healthy ingredients and decorated sweetly in a very attractive way. Except this particular snack, was the type he wanted for himself and no one else. He ran his fingertips over Daisy's palm, a simple touch that sparked a fierce lust. He caught her gaze and noted that brief message that passed through her eyes. She was hot for him as much as he was for her. The expression on her face was enough evidence. Daisy sh
You Are Mine For Keeps. Not Jealous
The entrance to the building where the fundraiser was being held was packed. Spectators, the media, journalists, paparazzi photographers, guards and several others. Camera lights flashes spread across faces as various guests arrive. Brett and Daisy made it out of the Limo and somehow daisy managed to keep a smiley face while they walked the length of the red carpet, with Brett holding her firmly on the small of her back, in acute possessiveness. The moment they crossed over into the building, someone called his name and he turned. Daisy took the opportunity to slip off her hands from his grasp but he held her back anyway, a smile on his face while he turned to his caller."Martin, it's nice seeing you here. You look great." He greeted a chubby older looking man."Same here Lexington. You are perfect, as always.""Meet Daisy, a friend of mine. This is Martin, Daisy. He's a business associate and a former colleague." He introduced them before they resumed their walk into the circle of
You Are Mine For Keeps. Can I Have This Dance
Sipping her champagne, Daisy slid into an autopilot mode of self-preservation. One she had not used in many years. Brett introduced her to more people, and being a social Queen-Bee courtesy of her mother, she performed extremely well. She spoke at the appropriate moments, cracked jokes when needed, smiled when necessary, even as she was boiling with jealousy inside. Fake or genuine, she did smile and smile is a smile, doesn't matter how genuine it was. Even with the internal riot she was battling, she struggled to pay attention to the discussions so as to know the right words to say and when she's expected to say them.Yet she was still conscious of the Sheila Robbin's figure gliding across the room, giving her subtle sharp spear-piercing stares once in a while. Brett on the other hand was extremely grateful for her presence and the way she was handling the people they had discussions with. He was more than pleased to discover that within five years, Daisy has grown not just bigger, b
You Are Mine For Keeps. Because I Said So
"Are you with someone Dee?" Ray asked.Daisy shook her head just before she could register the question and just how broad it was."So you’re available." She took a deep breath, feeling uncomfortable despite how fluidly they moved together. "Well, I’m not taken." Ray flashed his charismatic boyish grin. "My night just took a good turn." He filled the rest of their time in the dancefloor with amusing anecdotes about his new band and the progress they were making and how much fun he was having doing his favorite thing and making tons of cash from it.His stories made Daisy laugh and took her mind off Brett for the time being. When the song ended, Ugo was there to take the next one. After playing a brief catch-up with Ugo who wasn't in the least interested, Ray left the dancefloor making Daisy promise to let him know before she leaves.Ugo gave Daisy a stern look once they started dancing. They danced very well as a couple because they'd taken lessons together. Daisy finally felt relax
You Are Mine For Keeps. I'm The One He Want For Keeps
Ugo snorted, pressing her ignore button. Daisy swallowed past the lump in her throat. "You gave a wonderful speech tonight, Brett. It enjoyed every bit of it." He sucked in a sharp breath and shoved a hand through his hair. Abruptly, he cursed under his breath pulling his vibrating phone out of his pocket, he glanced at the screen. "I have to go, Daiz." His gaze caught hers and held it for a while. His fingertips drifted over her cheek. "I’ll call you, please." He eyes held a plea but his face didn't and then he was gone. "Do you want to stay?" Ugo asked quietly. "No." "I’ll take you home, then." Ugo said calmly."No, don’t." Daisy insisted.She wanted to be alone for a bit. Soak herself in a hot bath, take a few glasses of wine and pull herself out of her self-induced misery. "You should stay here. It might be good for your career. We will talk when you get home. If not today, tomorrow. I’m seriously going to need the solitude." Ugo nodded. Her gaze darted over her friend's face
You Are Mine For Keeps. Picking From The Discard Pile
"Daisy." Ugo called out when her friend shuffled into the living room the next morning. Dressed in nothing but a loose robe, Ugo lay stretched out on the sofa with her feet crossed and propped on the table. "How was your night?" Daisy gave her the thumbs-up and headed into the kitchen for coffee. She paused when her eyes caught the beautiful arrangement of Daisies and lilies on the side stool beside Ugo. "Chef did it again?" Daisy asked, smiling. "I should meet that man, he's a born-romantic. I want to tell him thank you."Smiling, Ugo shook her head. "Those are not from Chef. They came in for you about an hour ago.""Know who sent them?""I didn't check." Ugo replied. "But I guess it's between band-boy Ray or Lexington.""You always have a name waiting. What's band-boy Ray for crying out loud."She shrugged. "Makes it easy to know who I'm talking about." "A Sunday delivery." Daisy said picking up the bouquet. "So Intentional and super pricey. I wonder who sent these." She plucked t
You Are Mine For Keeps. Monday and It's Happening
"Did Lexington say that to you?" Again, fury laced Ugo's quiet question. No. But he once told me he doesn't sleep with his female friends and he’s got issues with women wanting more than a good time, so he keeps the women he bangs and the women he hangs out with in two separate camps." She took another sip of her coffee. "I told him back then the setup wasn’t going to work for me and he said he’d make some adjustments, but in the end, he turned out to be one of those guys who’ll say whatever he has to in order to get what they want.""What the hell! Lexington fucking did you dirty. Why did you let him an inch near you again.""Maybe growth, I'm not sure. But I thought I've grown past all that. I thought he wouldn't have that strong effect on me again.""Does he?"Daisy nodded. "Not as strong as before. I can say no now. But if I don't step away, I might loose the will to say no.""Does he stop when you say no?" Daisy nodded."Maybe he just want another chance. Let's see it from a com
