“I know she said this is what she wants, but what if it isn’t?” I asked as I ran a hand nervously through my hair.

“What’s this? My uncle’s nervous that a girl won’t want to marry him?”

“Fuck, Nick, you gave me a fright,” I said, clutching my chest when he’d snuck up and startled me from behind. Everyone laughed but me.

The look of glee on Nick’s face told me he was delighted he’d given me a scare. “Not as much of a fright as Daisy’s going to get when she realizes it was me and Poppy who picked out her dress.” He shot me a look of mock horror, but my belly immediately filled with dread because I had been nervous about them doing this.

What if she didn’t like it?

“Relax, Jamie. I steered Nick away from the Cinderella frocks with the poofy ballgowns and the thirty-foot trains at the back,” Poppy said to reassure me.

“Yeah, it’s more punk rock meets the Pussycat Dolls,” Nick chipped in with a smug looking grin on his face.

“Nick, I swear …” My heart rate had been running fast since I’d woken up. I’d snuck out while Daisy was sleeping, and it was still barely 6:30 am. I checked the time on my phone and hoped to get back before she woke up.

“He’s lying, don’t listen to him,” Roslin cut in. She placed a hand on my forearm and gave it a squeeze. “I think what you’re doing is extremely romantic and if our Daisy doesn’t think so, then the girl needs her head examined.”

“We’ve got the license?” I asked in a panic when I remembered that this needed to be sorted out.

“Everything is in order. All you need to do is get her to our house by 1:00 pm. and you can leave the rest to me,” Roslin stated, calmly.

“Alright, I’m out of here. I’ll text to let you know when we’re on our way.” Felix led the way back to the car he’d rented and drove me back to the hotel.

Fortunately, Daisy was still asleep from her jet lag. I snuck back into bed beside her just after 7:30. and cuddled up like I’d been there all morning.

CHAPTER 23

I woke with a start when the sound of the hairdryer filled the room. My heart instantly raced when I remembered the big event I’d planned for later. I quickly rose to my elbows and stared down the bed. Daisy was dressed for the day, freshly showered and sitting at the dressing table drying her hair.

“What are you doing?” I asked, instantly climbing out of bed and walking over beside her. My morning wood bobbed and when I stopped, it almost caught her in the eye.

“You can put that thing away,” she said gently, shoving my length away from her and smiling up at my face.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I said, wagging my dick at her by swaying my hips.

She chuckled and softly batted it away this time. “You were sleeping so heavily I was going to leave you until later. I’m going over to the pub, I thought I’d call you from there.”

“Oh no you don’t,” I said, quickly taking her hairbrush out of her hand. “No pub this morning. You’re mine for another day. You promised me six days and I’ve only had five. I have plans for us today.”

“Plans?” she repeated.

“Yeah, what time is it?” I asked.

“Just after 9:00,” she mumbled as she tried to steal her hairbrush back. I lifted my arm out of her way, and she growled when she didn’t catch it. “Give it back,” she demanded.

“Nope, not until you agree to spend the day with me. I’ll make a concession, you can go to the pub later,” I bargained.

“Let me call Poppy and make sure she doesn’t need me this morning then.”

I nodded. She reached for her cell phone and called her sister, placing her on speakerphone.

“Hey, it’s me. We’re home. I was about to come over, but Jamie wants to take me somewhere. How’s business?”

“Business is going well. We’ve been busy since St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve had quite a lot of American tourists hoping for a glimpse of Jamie. Your boyfriend is good for business.”

Daisy chuckled until I flashed her a smug grin, then she threw me a mock glare. “Are there any new bookings for functions?” Daisy inquired.

“As a matter of fact, yes. We had one the day after you left for a wedding function later today,” Poppy replied.
