Chapter 118


    Today was the big day. After what had felt like years in the making I was finally able to showcase my


    creativity on the big screen. It was long-awaited and I had poured my blood sweat and tears into this.


    And now as I sat here in the car with my husband by my side and my hand clutching his tightly, I still


    could not believe that it was actually happening. I was a big-screen movie director. For years I had just


    stayed in thene of indie films and it had beenfortable for some time. But this had been on my


    vision board ever since I was a little girl.


    “I can hear your thoughts, baby,” my husband said beside me, his thumb rubbing the back of my hand.


    If he wasn’t here I would be a total and utter mess if I was being honest. He was the stability in the


    storm.


    “It’s not every day that you get to showcase your live-action adaptation of one of the biggest-selling


    books of all time.” Even hearing it out loud, I still could not believe it. I was just a small girl from a big


    city who had one little dream and suddenly it was alling to life.


    “I need everyone to like this, they all entrusted me with this book, this most beloved and sessful


    book. I only hope that I did it justice. And if I haven’t, then I can never show my face again in the


    industry. If this movie tanks, I might as well move to a small town in Virginia, shave my head, and


    be one with the locals.”


    My husband let out a soft chuckle. “You will not need to shave your head or move to Virginia. You


    poured everything you had into this movie and I’m sure that it is going to trante onto the big screen.


    You are a talented woman and a force to be reckoned with. This is only the beginning of your future.


    And tonight, everyone will see exactly what I saw all those years ago. You are amazing, phenomenal,


    extraordinary, out of this world-


    “Okay, okay, I get it.” 1 pped my hand over his mouth. “I’m great. You can stop showering me with


    compliments now.”


    He mumbled behind my hand and then he licked the inside of it. I drew my hand back with a small


    shriek of disgust.


    “Ew,” I said, rubbing my wet hand on his pants.


    “Ew? I don’t recall you crying when I had my mouth in your pussy until you cummed “Damon!” looked to


    our driver who had his eyes set on the road, ignoring us. I knew that it was his job to act like he wasn’t


    there but I know for a fact he had just heard my husband talk about how he was eating me out only an


    hour or so ago.


    What? An orgasm does wonders for the nerves and that is a proven fact. And besides, he was the one


    who had offered, how could I turn down the opportunity?


    He had worked his magic like a true pro and had me writhing beneath him. For some reason, I felt so


    insatiabletely. All I wanted to do was jump his bones. But I guess that was all thanks to the raging


    hormones that filled my body every day.


    It reminded me of the ocean. The way we had been so consumed with each other. No one else existed


    apart from each other. I was so absorbed in him and him in me. If we could have, I would have stayed


    on that boat forever. But reality was calling. our names and the dream had toe to an end.


    But if I was beingpletely and utterly honest, my reality was starting to merge with my dream. We


    were in such a great ce with each other and now with this little one growing inside of me, I was at


    ease. Okay, that wasn’t the total truth, I was shitting bricks a little.


    Myst baby had not seen the light of day and I was determined to keep this one safe. I had to.


    After the premiere, the rest of the cast would go on a world tour for the movie but I had chosen to stay


    behind and nest. I didn’t want any added stress on the baby or me.


    And now with the movie wrapped up and the release date approaching, I was going to take a break and


    focus on growing this baby.


    The car came to a halt in front of the movie theater where the red carpet had been set up. There were


    cameras everywhere. Immediately that ease I had felt melted away and I was seized by the throat with


    all the anxiety that poured into my body. My husband squeezed my hand, drawing my attention back to


    him. “Hey, wife?”


    “Yeah?”


    “We’re proud of you.”


    When he said ‘we’ I was a little confused until he ced his hand on my t stomach. My heart grew


    twice in size at his gesture and I ced my own hand on top of his.


    “Thank you.”


    “Let’s go kick some ass,” he reached over and kissed my cheek softly. The gesture calmed the majority


    of the frenzy that had taken flight in my mind. “I’ll be right there the entire time.”


    He hopped out of the car and rounded it toe to my door.


    This was the first major outing I’d had since my miscarriage. The interviews didn’t really count because


    they were all done with just one person asking me the questions. But here I had dozens of cameras


    taking pictures of me at all angles, waiting for me to falter.


    I was scared out of my mind. But as I looked up into the eyes of the man I fell in love with almost two


    years ago to the day I suddenly felt empowered. I felt like I could do this and make it out alive.


    He offered me his hand and I ced my smaller one into it.


    “Ready?”


    “Ready.”


    It was now or never.


    The red carpet was not as terrible of an experience as I thought it would be. I had been able to move


    through the reporters with ease and my husband had stepped in when I couldn’t answer some of the


    personal things or he would just move us along.


    When we walked into therge building where the rest of the cast was, I was hit with this sudden wave


    of nausea.


    This was one of the things that I hated most about the first trimester.


    “I need to go to the bathroom,” I excused myself from my husband and made a beeline for the


    bathroom. I had just made it to the stall when I emptied out all the food I had eaten beforeing here.


    My body wretched as I emptied out everything until there was nothing left but acid. When I was done I


    flushed and had to hold myself steady.


    I didn’t think I could sit through the movie like this. I needed to head home and rest.


    I had just exited my stall when I came face to face with a woman I had not expected to see ever again.


    Our meeting had been brief and we had nearly spoken more than ten words to each other but she had


    been so impactful in my life before I couldn’t miss her.


    “Tabitha?” I was confused as to why she was there.


    She shook her head, her lips pursed together. “I’m sorry.”


    Before I could ask what she meant by that I was hit on the head from behind and it all went ck.
