***Three Days
Later***

 

 

Our week in Galveston seems
to be flying by at warp speed. Kayden has to fly to Miami for a few
days’ work. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he still
found ways to let me know he was thinking of me. He sent sweet text
messages or bouquets of flowers every day that he was gone. Our
beach house was covered in a rainbow of colors and smelt like sweet
nectar. Every night we talked on the phone for hours while lying in
our beds, thousands of miles apart but it felt as if he was lying
right beside me.

 

I spend those first few
days doing a lot of soul searching. I’m loving my time here,
Brooklyn is too. Being here brought back all of our memories of the
summer we spent here all those years ago. Thinking back to my life
I’ve been living in Los Angeles, I was beginning to think that I
didn’t belong there anymore. I talked with Brooklyn about how I was
feeling and she told me to follow my heart and that she would
follow me wherever I decided to go. My heart was telling me I was
exactly where I belonged.

 

After speaking with my
parents and receiving their blessing to move into the beach house,
Brooklyn and I hire a moving company to pack up our apartment and
drive our belongings out here, along with my car and her Jeep. She
had to fly back into Los Angeles to shoot a Commercial, so it was
perfect timing. She was able to oversee the movers and turn our key
into the landlord.

 

I was deeply blessed to
have landed a job with such an amazing boss. Eloise agrees to let
me stay on at the magazine as her assistant editor; she makes
arrangements for all of my work to be emailed across to me daily.
We would Skype every day and I would only have to be in Los Angeles
once a week to work one on one with her. She was beyond thrilled
when I informed her that I wanted to do an interview about Logan
and wanted it to be an exclusive for Envy. We did a shoot earlier
today at the beach and I’ll be gracing the cover on the February
issue. I was petrified about doing the interview, but it actually
turned out to be extremely therapeutic.

 

The only person left to
announce the news to, is Kayden. He is flying back into Houston
tonight, so I’m planning a romantic dinner for us. . I think moving
permanently to Galveston is the best choice for me; Los Angeles is
full of memories of Logan and I. Everyday that I spend there, I
fall deeper into a depression. Just being here these last few days
has made the weight that had been holding me down instantly
disappear.

 

I was a nervous wreck as I
prepared dinner. I had my iPod blasting throughout the house,
trying to distract myself from worrying about how Kayden would take
my news. His jet was expected to land at Houston Airport in two
hours. I hadn’t seen him in three days and can’t wait to be wrapped
in his arms again. Over the last few days we discussed being
exclusive with each other, we both talked about our insecurities
and how we would need to work on building trust in order for a
relationship to work between us. We had both been hurt by people we
trusted so it was going to be a lot of work…but it would be worth
it.

 

I knew going back to Los
Angeles would be a huge hurdle to try and overcome, being that far
away from each other was too dangerous. I knew deep down that we
would eventually self-destruct, we didn’t know each other well
enough to be able to handle that much distance, and our
relationship wouldn’t stand a chance. Walking away from him wasn’t
an option for me anymore, so moving to Texas seemed like the best
option and I was lucky enough to have such an amazing best friend
to agree to move here too. I think we were both ready for a chance;
Los Angeles was all we’d known since we were infants, it was time
for a fresh start at life.

 

I’m just sliding the
lasagna into the oven when I hear the doorbell ring. Brooklyn is
already back in Los Angeles so I know it can’t be her, there was no
one else here in town who would be at my door…beside Kayden! I
would kill him if he landed two hours early and didn’t tell me. I
still had to get dressed and finish setting up the house for our
romantic reunion. I wipe my hands quickly on a dishrag and run to
the door. Even though he was here before I got everything set up,
it didn’t make my excitement to see him dwindle, even a little. I
run to the door with excitement and nervousness bursting out of me.
As soon as I open it however, my feet freeze in place and panic
instantly takes over my body. The last person I would ever have
expected to see was standing at my door, looking down at me, with
the same crystal blue eyes that I’d stared into more times than I
could count over the last four years.

Acknowledgments

 

First off I would like to
thank all the amazing Authors, who, with their books, inspired me
to want to be an Author myself. As a teenager I was obsessed with
V.C. Andrews books, reading every series I could get my hands on
thanks to my wonderful Grandmother who I could always count on to
support my book addiction. My high school English teacher, Mrs.
Heald for teaching the most kick ass creative writing class, she
always encouraged me to write, and was always there with words of
encouragement whenever I needed that extra push to go for nothing
but excellence.

 

I would also love to thank
my Husband and Children for dealing with me while I wrote this
book. Between running a boutique and writing this book I have very
little time each day to dedicate to household chores. I appreciate
all the days you all spent helping out around the house. A special
thank you to my oldest Madison who was my little helper chasing
Finn all over the place while I was busy making this story come to
life. A huge thank you to Sierra for running my boutique and fan
page for me all days I was consumed with writing, in between
juggling making my bows and tutus!

 

A special thank you to
Heather, Stephanie, Victoria, and Laura for reading and editing my
book, and also to Sarah Jones who did the final edit and proofread.
I appreciate you all taking time out of your busy schedules to help
me write this book, you will never understand just how much it
meant to me! Thank you to Leah, who runs the Gideon and Eva fansite
on face book for supporting me on this crazy journey and helping
spread the word about Irresistible Desire. A big thank you to J.A.
Redmerski who is an amazingly talented Author, who has been a great
go to woman. Without her help I never would have figured out how to
add my book to smash words, and set up a good reads
account.
