“I know. I also know you would love to have your parents and Jordan and Zoë there. And you know my parents would have a fit if we got married without them. So I made an appointment at the Surrey for us this afternoon. It’s available a week after we get back from the Maldives and if you like it, then we’ll book it.”
He looked at her, trying to read her. “Miss James, will you marry me a week after we return from the Maldives?”
“Yes, Mr. Prescott. I will marry you a week after we return from our trip.”
He kissed her. “I think I’ll have the sea bass.”
Chapter 73
KYLA AND SEAN SPENT THE holidays shuffling between their families, and a lot of holiday parties. They agreed the holidays could be a very vulnerable time and were careful not to spend too much time alone.
Tonight, they were attending the last of their holiday parties, dinner with Mike and DeeDee. The black car pulled up in front of the Westside pre-war building. Sean opened the door and helped Kyla and the dogs out. Mike and DeeDee’s daughter, Michelle, was going to doggie sit until Kyla’s parents returned from vacation.
They looked like the perfect little family as they walked inside the lobby. After several visits, the doorman and concierge recognized them and waved them through to the elevators.
Sean noticed Kyla was very quiet. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, just a little sad.”
“What’s got my future wife upset?”
“It’s silly.” She stared at the elevator doors.
“You’re gonna miss Winnie?”
She tossed her head back and then forward. “Yes, I am. I know it’s silly, she’s just…”
“Your baby.”
“Yeah.” Simon barked. She knelt down and rubbed Simon’s neck. “And you too, Simon. What am I going to do for the next couple of weeks without you two?” Both little dogs barked and smiled. She stood up and leaned on Sean’s shoulder.
He smirked as the elevator stopped and the doors opened. He followed her down the hall with his eyes fixed on her backside. They stopped in front of the door and he kissed her neck. She turned and playfully chastised him. “Behave yourself.”
“What?” He smiled. “I thought I saw mistletoe.”
She rang the door bell and Mike opened the door. “Merry Christmas,” Kyla and Sean said at the same time.
“Honey, the Prescott family is here,” he called out. “Come on in. Merry Christmas.” He hugged Kyla and she continued walking inside followed by Sean with Winnie and Simon. “Hey, man.” He hugged his long time friend and closed the door. “DeeDee is in the kitchen and Mich
elle is still setting up Simon and Winnie’s things.” They walked down the hall. “Babe, look who’s here.”
“Merry Christmas,” DeeDee said as she greeted the happy family.
“Merry Christmas,” Kyla replied.
“Merry Christmas, Sean.” She kissed him on the cheek.
“Merry Christmas.”
“Michelle,” DeeDee called out. “She is so excited. Michelle, Winnie and Simon are here.” She knelt down and petted Simon and Winnie. “These sweaters are adorable.” Simon and Winnie barked at the same time. “You’re welcome.”
“Babe, give me your coat.” Kyla slipped her coat off and handed it to Sean.
“Thank you.”
She was wearing a beautiful red jersey dress, with a full skirt, fitted at the waist with a deep scoop back. Sean told her he loved watching her enter a room almost as much as he loved watching her exit in front of him. There was nothing about her body he didn’t like. Every chance he got, he’d rub her back, as his way of showing her she was safe. He kissed her shoulder and started walking away when he heard tiny footsteps running into the kitchen.
“Uncle Sean.” The little girl wrapped her arms around his legs.
