Chapter 49
‘I don’t crave for it like I used to. But, I would like to experience it.”
“But I’m a father now… I doubt I have time for late night parties when I have a baby.”
He added and Lori shrugged.
“I think you definitely do. Besides being a parent doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun.”
Gabriel raised his eyebrows.
“Yea right? What about you? You’re twenty two, as far as I can tell you didn’t do that much partying and clubbing either.”
Oh he was right! That was true.
Lori sighed.
“You’re right. I didn’t…”
It was funny how they were both alike in certain ways but different too.
“If I’m going to live my life, you should too.”
He added and Lori shrugged. Oh she didn’t think so.
“But…”
She hesitated and Gabriel cut her off.
‘No excuses. We should go to a club together when we’re back from Canada.”
He said and her eyes widened.
“No… no… I actually have no outfit that would be considered appropriate enough for the club.
Gabriel shook his head, he looked determined, like he wasn’t going to take no for an answer.
“Then you’d buy one. As many as you need.”
“Oh you can’t be serious Gabriel!’
‘I am! I’m actually very serious,”
He said as his voice deepened.
“With Emilia…”
“I’m sure Emilia would be fine without you for one night. Jenny or Sylvia would more than happy to fill in.”
Lori sighed. A club. An actual club! Weird that she had not been in one before, she was excited as well as scared but she nodded her head.

Chapter 49
“Good! Then it’s settled. Clubbing, partying, we’ll try everything.”
“Together.”
He added as he kissed her hand and gently let it go. Lori’s cheeks blushed furiously, suddenly feeling bereft without the warmth of his hands.
‘Together.”
She repeated.
‘I think I’ll be going to bed now.”
She said as she looked at the half full bottle of wine and decided that the wine might have started to take effect and she wanted to sleep the rest off.
“Me too.”
Gabriel said. He stood up and cleared the bottle of wine and their wine glasses from the table.
‘I’ll see you upstairs.”

He told her so she wouldn’t have to clean up and Lori went upstairs. She stopped by the baby room, Emilia was still peacefully sleeping.
Then she stopped by her room, the door had been fixed and she just went in to pick a night shirt and pajama shorts. She was still sleeping in Gabriel’s
room. Gabriel wasn’t complaining and she liked sleeping in his room.
Although, she could tell it was probably very weird. It would be weird to anyone else. They were very much living like a couple.
And now Gabriel told her he was attracted to her, her belly did flip flops just thinking about it. He was attracted to her and he actually said it to her face!
After everything she told him about herself and her past she didn’t think he’d ever look at her that way, in fact, a part of her still didn’t believe she deserved
to be looked at that way.
Gabriel was not in his room when she walked in with a change of clothes, but he walked in shortly after, slowly taking off the muscle shirt he was wearing.
Lori shamelessly ogled him, unable to pull her eyes away.
‘Sorry. It’s a bit hot tonight.”
He said as he settled into bed and Lori nodded.
‘Really? I actually feel quite cold.”
She said and he patted the bed.
