and glared. He sighed, running his fingers through his hair and looked back right at me, his beautiful eyes burning into mine. He then took hold of my shoulders and began to speak. “Are you kidding Kate ? You’re the only girl for me, and you know that,” he said kneeling on the ground in front of me and taking both my hands in his. “You do know that, right?” he asked me. I nodded slightly. “I hope you trust in me and have hope in me. I’m faithful to you and you only. Don’t ever doubt that.”

“I do, it’s just that….” I sighed. “She can do lots of things, Ry. I’ve seen her work her charm and magic and I’m scared that you might be her next victim,” I whispered.

“She won’t. Because you’re the only girl for me. I’ll love you endlessly, remember? It’s engraved on your skin. Don’t you ever forget it.”

“Endlessly,” I whispered back and gave him a tight hug.

“Are we clear now?” he asked me. I nodded and he gave me a light kiss, and slightly lingering until his phone rang, making me laugh at his current ringtone.

Girl will I stop loving you? Heck no!
Honestly I think you got me in a hex yo.
When I'm with you it's all perfecto

Ryan pulled out his phone and answered it. “Hello?... No prob ma. We’ll be there,” I heard him say. He then put his phone away and stood up. I raised an eyebrow at him. “Mom,” he told me.

“Your mom, or my mom?” I asked raising an eyebrow. Yeah, he called my mom, mom now too and vice versa. They said that we were gonna be connected family-wise either way, meaning with Ryan and I or Tristan and Stephanie. Plus, they’re basically sisters so it’s not awkward at all.

“Your mom,” he said.

My eyes widened. “Oh my fuck, I thought we were to have lunch with her?” Great, fucking great. During the past year and a half since my last presentation for the iPhone 5, my mom had been strict about being prompt and not being late to things. And when I am late, I get an earful.

“Yeah, but she had a meeting, and she said she’ll explain later,” he told me. I sighed in relief and nodded. We then proceeded to go meet up with my mom.

    We walked into the Ritz-Carlton hotel’s restaurant, pushing my aviators off my eyes and taking in the luxurious feel of the place. Ryan’s arms were around my waist and for some reason, I felt very under dressed. I then realized that every time I walked into a fancy hotel such as this, I was always dressed up properly.

“You okay?” Ryan asked.

“Fine, but I’m kind of scared my mom would freak that I’m not in a Gucci dress that she approves of,” I frowned.

“You’re fine,” he assured me. “You look gorgeous,” he whispered in my ear, kissing my temples softly and pulling me towards the stand where the hostess was standing.

“Table? Or do you have a meeting?” she asked him, not looking up from her clipboard.

“Meeting with Macintosh,” I said to her.

“Name?” she said and looked up, seeing me. “I’m not supposed to let just anyone enter to see her,” she sneered.

“It’s either DeLuca or Dolciani,” Ryan said from behind me, hands on my hips and rubbing circles with his thumb on the small of my back - soothing me. She looked up at him and her eyes widened and she gulped.

“Jay Dolciani,” she muttered and looked down on her paper, she nodded and mumbled a ‘please follow me’. I looked up at him and he just shrugged. We were approaching the table that my mom was sitting coffee in and my grip on Ryan’s hand immediately tightened. He just squeezed my hand comfortingly and pulled out the chair for me.

“Ryan, Kate ,” my mom greeted with a smile. Then it faltered when she saw me. “What are you wearing Kate ?” she asked me.

“I forgot that we were going to meet up with you today,” I said to her.

She nodded. “I guess that is understandable, I didn’t send a reminder,” she said throwing Ryan a smile.

“So, what’s up
