Late

by reyes139

He's late...again, I murmured under my breath while I watched the clock tick on with another minute wasted on waiting for the man I loved with everything I had. Isabella married the man of her dreams, loves him fiercely, but what happens when he forgets the vows he's said-when work and family become priority and the one you have at home gets tired of you always being late. No Cheat

Bella's POV

Chapter 7

Whenever we spoke of building a family it was always his plans that took precedent. In college we were a team – happy and in love with the world at our feet, but now that foundation laid in shambles along with the little self preservation I had left.

"Baby, this will only be for a year or two at the max," he said as we lay in bed one night discussing the curveball life had thrown our way. His dad wanted to step back as head of Cullen Construction and spend his days out on that boat he'd been working on since the boys were in their teens. "Mom needs him to take it easy for her sanity after his accident. His falling from that scaffolding scared the shit out of her."

"I know, baby, and I support you, but I worry about us."

"What do you mean, love? Why the concern?"

"Because I don't want to lose sight of what we want . . . need, for them. It's his dream for his boys to take over, not yours."

"I promise, my love, it won't . . . nothing will stop me from marrying you next summer and starting a family the year after. I love you, baby, and I promise to always be home in time for dinner and to make love to you every night after. This is just until Ben takes full reign and learns the ins and outs. I'll teach him what he's missing and then we'll go back to normal before you know it."

"Okay."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, silly, now come make love to your fiancée."

He attacked and worshipped every inch of my skin.

That promise of a "year or two" had been made five years ago . . .
