Chapter 92 - Wild Temptation After Divorce
Savvy
Dear Diary
Yes! Yes! Yes!
***************************************************************************
“Papa!” I sobbed out as my father walked through my hospital room door just minutes after Brian departed, hopefully for good.
“My Savvy. How are you?” He said, as he came up to my bed. Mac moved out of the way as he let him come snuggle me.
“I am good. They’ve warmed me up. I’ve gotten some rest. But why are you here? You have that important Christmas party tonight.”
“What do you mean, why am I here? My only daughter got kidnapped. I am going to make those two bodyguards pay. Besides, the flight isn’t that long. I’ll make it by tonight.”
“No daddy. They helped Mac and Jack immensely. They couldn’t help it, that distractions happened in a certain order. They’re just human.”
“You are too kind, Savanna. You should have been their only priority. They will never work for me again, they have lost my trust. I also see that Brian has somehow found his way here?”
“He followed her from Montana on her last trip. He’s been stalking her ever since,” Mac spilled.
“Mac!” I hissed.
My dad’s eyes went molten, “I really am going to kill him.”
“Daddy, leave him be. I don’t want anything to do with him ever again, and I am pretty sure he got that message today. You can’t hurt him because of some minor stalking. He didn’t really do anything. And besides, if he had never cheated on me, I would never have met my loves here. So really, I owe him.”
“You owe him nothing. I’ll spare his life just for you, but I will make sure he never f*cks up again. Now let’s talk about this man that kidnapped you. Who is he?”
“No, Dad!”
“His name is Ramsey Grant. He was arrested at the marina,” Jack said.
“Ugh, will you guys stop providing my dad with information? Ramsey will get what’s coming to him. He’ll be going to jail.”
“I’ll make sure of it,” Romero said.
“Well, on a brighter note. Merry Christmas, please give mama and Hal a kiss and hug for me.”
“Merry Christmas, my daughter.”
My dad stayed for a couple more hours. He had a conversation in the hall with Mac and Jack and I was sure they were providing him with all kinds of information about what happened.
A detective and a uniformed officer came in to talk to me about what happened. I told them my side of the story and Jack and Mac filled them in on their side. After they left, I sighed heavily. I was so happy that this part of the ordeal was over. I knew I would have to deal with a trial but right now, I am over it.
In the morning, Mac drove us home. The Chief had dropped off all of our gifts that we left at the station and we got our Secret Santa gifts from our co-workers. The Chief had gotten me, and he bought me a food dehydrator. I was so stoked. Mac was astonished at how excited I was about this.
“Most women want jewelry, or a handbag babe.”
“Well, I’m not like most women, I want what I want.”
He chuckled. Brenda had gotten him, and she bought him a year's subscription of a snack box. He was very happy about that. Dawson had gotten Jack and bought him a Dolphins jacket.
New Year's Eve was super busy for me. I went shopping for a dress and a birthday gift for Jack. I knew exactly what I was going to get him. I asked Mazy if we could throw a NYE/ birthday party for Jack on her parents' yacht, and she was all for it. She took care of all the decorations and I took care of the food, drinks and cake.
I invited all of our friends and the guys from the station. His mom and sisters. Mazy invited some of her friends to help round out the girl to guy ratio. I was a little bummed that Nicole and her guys weren’t going to be here. I still hadn’t heard from her or David. I knew there was a huge snow storm happening in Maine right now, so maybe they didn’t have any service. I really hoped she wasn’t mad at me for letting David know where she was. I also hoped David and his brothers were able to convince her she was the one they all wanted. She deserved a relationship like mine. She’s been burned badly in the past.
I got ready in one of the rooms on the yacht. I had my hair piled high on my head in a riot of curls. I had on a silver slinky dress that hugged my curves and showed a lot of leg. And I had on silver heels that were strapped around my ankles. My make was bold and sparkly, with a silver glittery eyeshadow and a bold red lip. My eyes are lined in black with a cat eye look. I looked really festive.
I walked around making sure everything was going well. The party was in full swing. I made sure everyone had drinks. My guys were tipsy and I loved watching them and their friends. They were having a great time and were very jovial.
“Okay everyone! One minute until the countdown!” I yelled. There were a lot of whoops and hollers. One of Mazy’s model friends tried to sidle up to Mac, and I stopped her with a hand in her face. She clearly saw I was in the middle of them, and they were wrapped around me and each other. She scoffed and went to find a different guy for her midnight kiss.
The countdown started, everyone yelling the numbers out. I was feeling giddy. I was starting the New Year with my loves and our new adventure that we decided to start with a trip to Spain next week.
When the countdown hit one, and we all screamed Happy New Year, fireworks from a nearby boat were set off. Jack and Mac kissed each other first. I loved watching them as their tongues tangled together. Then Mac kissed me as Jack nibbled on my neck. I turned to Jack as he and I kissed thoroughly.
As he and I were kissing. Mazy had three waiters bring out the three-tiered chocolate cake I made for Jack’s birthday. In the middle of the cakes were different flavors. One with a strawberry and cream filling, one with a peanut butter filling and the last with a caramel and pecan filling. Jack loved pecans.
There was a big lit 31 candle on top of the cake. Happy Birthday, Jack in white and copper writing. It took me a little bit to get the right copper color for the frosting.
“Make a wish baby,” I said to him. I couldn’t stop the big smile on my face. Mac was behind me, I could feel his body heat.
After everyone sang happy birthday, he closed his eyes and blew out the candle.
I kissed him, “ What did you wish for?” I asked, as he held me in his arms.
“For you to say yes,” he said, staring at me.
My brows furrowed and then he turned me away from him.
Mac was down on one knee in front of me with a beautiful emerald and diamond ring. My eyes widened, and I brought my hands up to cover my mouth. My heart started beating fast, and I felt Jack wrap his arms around me from behind.
“Savvy, meeting you has brought such joy to mine and Jack’s hearts. You are our missing piece. You complete us wholeheartedly, and we would like to ask you, with Jack's grandmother’s ring, will you marry us? Well, technically me, but we will do a small ceremony for the three of us later,” Mac said.
Joy burst inside me. My head was nodding because I couldn’t get the words out fast enough. Then I screamed, “Yes, yes, yes!”
Mac stood up and ripped me out of Jack’s arms. He smashed his lips down on mine. Jack then took me back into his arms and kissed me. He turned me back around, so Mac could slip the ring on my finger. Everyone cheered and clapped.
Mazy, Stacy, Jamie, Jade, and Marie, squealed as they came around me to congratulate us and look at the ring. I looked at Jack and Mac. Darius and Garrett were congratulating them. This was the best day of my life and a perfect start to the New Year.
