Sabine
I've been walkingon a fucking cloud ever since Trey and I have been messing around. I don't think I've ever had a point in time where I've been so happy just to be in someone's presence. Not to mention, the fucking sex is amazing. If I thought what happened at the club in the VIP room was a fluke, he showed me the other day at my house that it wasn't. The amount of orgasms the man pulled from my body was absolutely unbelievable.
This afternoon, I'm going to have lunch with my sisters. I have a lot of work to take care of at the club, and at first, I was a bit hesitant to go. I'm more than happy to take a break from working and as strange as it sounds, I'm actually thinking about indulging in a bit of girl talk of my own.It'll be nice to be around family for a little while. I'm so awestruck by what's going on with Trey that I'm feeling like maybe I'm being blinded. Perhaps one of them can give me some insight and help me keep my head on straight. Last thing I need is to get addicted and starts acting all crazy because I'm not used to these hormones and stuff.
When I get to the restaurant, I see that they are there at the table waiting for me. It's not like me to be late, but I was still texting Trey when I should have been getting ready to come here and meet with them. Trey makes me act completely out of character. I like to think it's in a good way. At least it feels like it is.
"I was about to call the police to see what happened to you." Corentina says as she sees me walking up to them.
"Oh, don't be so dramatic, I'm not even ten minutes late." A few people in the restaurant turn to look at me, and I have to stop myself from glaring. The restaurant that Desiree chose is a little more high class than I'd like to be at.
I take my seat with them and I can see Desiree is almost bouncing with happiness. I like to see her like this. In fact, I like to see all of my family happy. I'm hoping that this is part of what it feels like to be part of a family. With Tristan opening up to me and telling me about what he went through with Dimitri and my sisters inviting me out to eat and drink with them, all of it makes me feel like I belong.
As the waitress comes up with the basket of artisan bread and the menus. She tells us the specials, and even as she's talking I can almost see Desiree about to burst. Whatever it is she's got to tell us it must be good. We all listen politely to the specials before we order lunch. Just as the waitress walks away and I'm about to tell them about Trey, Desiree hops in her seat and throws her hand up on the table-top.
"Malcolm asked me to marry him." She smiles even brighter.
I'm so happy for them both. When I pull her into a hug and give her my heartfelt congratulations, I mean it. We all sit there listening to Desiree tell us about how Malcolm proposed and where they are thinking about having a ceremony.
"Oh, I think you two should have a fall wedding!" Olivia says.
"Yeah. I don't know, I'm not sure I want to wait that long. I'm ready to just drag his as to the courthouse and get it done. Maybe elope or something like that." Desiree laughs before she turns to me. "What do you think, Sabine?"
"Me?" I ask, a little taken aback. "Well, I don't think anyone in your family would be too happy if you ran off, and they didn't get to see you get married. Me included." I smirk at her and shake my head when she pouts and slouches her shoulders like I just told her that Santa wasn't real.
"Fine! Ugh, this is going to be the quickest wedding planning in history." She raises a finger and the rest of us join her in laughter.
I sit back for the rest of the time there, paying attention to all the details that she wants to put into a wedding that she didn't truly want until a few moments ago. As we eat our food, I decide to keep my news about Trey and the increasing uncertainty I'm feeling about trusting my own intuition to myself. Right now shouldn't be about me. It needs to be about Desiree and this happy time. I'm sure that they'll be a time sooner or later when she could talk to them about it.
Until then, I'm just going to keep my thoughts to myself.
* * *
After about an hourand a half of just talking about the wedding, we finish up and go about our day. All of them hug me as the lunch comes to an end, and instead of just being able to stuff down any emotions that I might have. All I can think about is how much closer I'm getting with my family. I love it, but now on top of that being accepted among them is scaring me more than I want to admit. Before I knew my place, I was on the outside and that's how they interacted with me. Now that they are welcoming me with open arms, and I'm starting to change little by little I don't know how to navigate these new relationships.
I'd call Rowen and talk to her about this, but I know she's already back at the club working to get the calendar set up. I don't want to disturb her. I could call one of my sisters but with me just leaving them if I call them now it may still take away from the happy times that we just shared. As much as I don't want to admit it, I only have one more person that I can talk to.
Trey.
I pull my phone out of my pocket and stare at his number on my screen. He's the last person I texted. I swipe the notification and press the small phone icon.
"Hey, Sabine." He answers on the second ring, sounding a bit winded.
"You okay? Were you running or something?"
He huffs out a small breath, "Would you think it strange if I gave you a customized ringtone and when I heard it go off I sprinted across the room? Because if you do, that's not what I did."
I giggle and instantly feel more relaxed. Every time with him.
"Um, I'm not sure what you're doing right now, but I wanted to find out if you wanted to hang out for a little while?" The words feel so foreign coming off my tongue. "I'm not calling you for a booty call or anything like that. I just want to talk... if you're busy, I mean, I know it.."
"I'll be over in twenty. Will you be home by then?" He cuts me off and bite my lip to keep from smiling any wider.
"Yeah, that sounds perfect."
It did sound perfect and maybe instead of double guessing what I'm feeling for this man, so quickly, I just go with it. It's not like my heart is telling me I have a choice anyway.
