In my bed.

Again.

Oops.

He is still chewing me out. I have no idea what he is saying. I have just zoned out.

Best way.

“Yeah cool, I’ll call you back,” and I cut the phone off, tossing it into the duvet. I scrub my face with my hand and feel a coolness on my skin and my eyes widen. “Oh shit.” I chuckle, but this is not the time to be laughing.

We actually fucking went through with it.

Fuck.

“Ari,” I say softly, nudging her, “Ari!” panic claws at my throat as she stirs, moaning as she rolls on her back.

“Leave me alone,” she swats at me.

“We have a problem.” And she sits up, hair wild, make-up smudged and red lipstick stained over her pretty face.

“Problem?” she hums, and she still looks fucking pretty.

We must’ve fucked like porn stars last night.

The room is trashed, my muscles ache like I have run a marathon and she looks thoroughly fucked.

I hold my hand up which causes her to hold hers up and there it is, cheap yellow band with a pink heart shaped gem sitting proud in the middle.

“I’m going to be sick,” she just about manages before she throws up in the garbage can next to the bed.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

TITUS

The low morning sun is shining, crispness to the air and I am at home with my beautiful wife. It feels like the most perfect morning.

Sipping on my coffee, Amora’s feet are tucked into my lap whilst I scroll my socials.

Bad habit, but I can’t help but have a look hoping to get a little insight into Arizona’s life that I am currently missing out on.

Aimlessly, I scroll past a picture in a Vegas chapel, and I swear I saw Ari.

Stop it. It’s just your mind playing tricks on you.

I continue but then something niggles at the back of my mind.

I scroll back up and that’s when I really see it.

Keaton and Arizona.

Him holding her in his arms like he is about to carry her over the threshold, and she holds up her ring, the caption reads:

Congratulations to our newlyweds, Keaton and Arizona.

We wish you a lifetime of happiness.

And what’s worse, I zoom in on the image and there, in the fucking background smiling all proud and shit is Killian.
