“But, he has help that comes in five days a week. I asked him to take it down to two. I want to put my touch on this place and hang some of my cloths you know. Maybe make signature drapes like I started doing before we left home.” Sewing is my passion. It is the one thing that was equally mundane but also soothing to me. I could get lost for hours with a needle and thread.
“Are you allowed to change anything?” I nod and take another sip.
“Yes. Jude says I can change whatever I like. He wants it to be a home he and I create together. Oh and guess what?”
“What?” They all ask at the same time.
“He is paying for me to have a private driving instructor.” I am so excited I can’t stop bouncing on my toes.
“Really? Oh my gosh! You are lucky. I wish I could learn how to drive.” Lavinia says her voice a bit sad.
“Vini, just ask Alton. I am sure he will pay for it if you tell him.” She was married a few days before me to the town pastor Alton. The thing is she hasn’t seemed happy since. She looks at me with a sense of defeat and mumbles something under her breath before excusing herself out of the door. I look at my other sisters and shrug my shoulders. “Does anyone know what is going on? How are things between her and Alton?”
“You know her. She won’t talk about it. Although I will say she has been spending an awful lot of time with Jasper’s brother Carter.” My eyebrows shoot up at that news. I look at Sadie and she blushes before putting her head down. I know she is feeling on the spot given he is her brother-in-law, so I won’t say anything else about it.
“Does everyone know what they are wearing to the dance tomorrow night?” That changes the subject and perks them all up. Mayor Lloyd sent around a flier announcing a town dance to introduce all of us to the town and to bring back the sense of community the town used to have. I myself am so excited to get dressed up and look pretty for Jude.
For the next hour we all trade ideas about our looks and give one another advice. Before I know it, I look up and realize I haven’t started dinner and Jude will be home in a few hours. My sisters and I finish our conversation and promise to talk in the morning.
Once they have left, I lock the door and lean against it with my back. I find myself looking around at my new home, with affection and an eager need to grow within myself, while growing our family inside of me. The truth is before being matched with Jude I had begun questioning myself, asking myself if any thought I mine had was or what I was born into. I had begun questioning everything and determining what I think holds true and what doesn’t. I had begun a journey into my own mind. Now, finding myself falling for my new husband and finding peace in the way he cares for me, I marvel at the slight differences I see from three days ago.
Who knew that by leaving everything I was taught and the two people who made me, that I would find who the real me is?
Chapter Seven

“Baby girl do you need help?” I shout upstairs to my wife who is currently getting ready for the dance.
“Don’t you dare come up here. I should have been ready an hour ago, husband.” She peeks her cute head out of the doorway, and I can tell she is naked up top. My entire body is turned towards the stairs, primed to go up, but she squeaks and shuts it, locking it behind her, knowing I will have her on her back in seconds.
“Calm down asshole.” I berate my cock adjusting it. He wants his mama night and day.
Since our wedding we have fallen into a zone. A newlywed, lust filled, cocoon of bliss and love. Yes, I love my wife. I think I fell in lust and obsession the moment I saw her on the day her sister married Jasper, but now, having her in my arms every day and night, my heart has followed suit.
She started driving lessons this morning and I have never seen a woman so excited to do something as basic as that before. The driving instructor, who took an immediate liking to her and in my opinion, stared at her a little too long, was all smiles after their first lesson. I definitely have to look into getting him replaced.
This afternoon after her lesson she and her sisters went dress shopping for the dance. She asked me if I intended to go, and I looked at my beautiful woman and kissed her pink cheeks. I smiled and told her of course we are going.
