All Chapters of Aria (The Complete Aria Series): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After we came back from Nashville a few weeks ago, I’ve decided to start looking for a new house. Will I miss it here? Yes, definitely. I’ve been in my house for the past eleven years but there’s so much that happened here in the past year that I might finally be done with it. Antonio’s fashion business can be done anywhere. The faster we get Chad out of that store front, the faster we can turn these Nashville properties in. We need to save these girls! Chad and Joe both have careers that they can do from anywhere, not just helping with Antonio’s collections. Amy will also be able to move should she want to. I’m at the point again where there’s nothing keeping me here. I can write from anywhere.I’ve already talked to Chad and Joe and they’re on board and would move with me wherever I go. I’ve talked to Amy and she’s not really sure at the moment. Austin will most likely be staying here because of the girls’ mom living here too. We will see. As I sit at the counter, lap

We have finally made it to Tampa. The palm trees, the warm weather, it’s all so amazing so far. I’m truly excited to start my new chapter here with Josh. Well, Josh, Chad and Joe. It’s like moving into a neighborhood and already knowing your neighbors.As we pull our RV down the long road to the end where our houses are located, we see a car sitting outside the house that will be ours. “I wonder who that is?” Chad says and he looks out the window.“Probably the realtor,” I replied to him. “We kind of need keys to get into these beautiful homes.” Guys really don’t think with their heads do they?“Totally makes sense,” he replied. “Which one is ours?”I glance across from our home and look at the two vacancies. “You can pick between those two.”“Really?” Joe is in awe. “This is definitely an upgrade from our condo!”“Just pull into the lot over there next to our house.” I point into the direction of the vacant lot that was purchased as well. I’ve been thinking a lot abou

We have been in Tampa for about two weeks now and this has been the best change I’ve ever made. Amy is on her way down this week and will be moving in next to Chad and Joe. It’s exciting to have them all here with me. The only one I am missing is my brother. He said he would be down to visit soon. Maybe he will fall in love and move down. The girls’ mom probably wouldn’t be okay with that. Can’t they just get back together and be one happy family again and move down here? Eye roll at life.The Grammy’s are coming up next month. This is exciting yet difficult at the same time. The last Grammy’s I went to, Antonio and Albert were both there. Albert. I wonder how he is doing. I really should have stopped by the hospital to check on him before we left. As much of a jerk that he is, he was still at one point part of my life, in an intimate way, not just professional.We are supposed to start working on my new album after the Grammy’s. That usually wouldn’t be such a difficul

As we pull into the driveway, Chad and Amy are standing outside of Amy’s house as they are unloading her moving truck. Why didn’t she hire someone to unload? “Why didn’t she hire someone to unload this truck?” I say to Josh as we start to get out.“She probably just wanted to see the hot doc without his shirt.” I’m not sure if Josh was being funny or serious but I know he’s going to go help them and probably lose his shirt. That is going to stir up, not only Amy but Chad and Joe as well. Josh and I leave our luggage in the car and walk across the street. “Need any help?” Josh asks.They all three stop in their tracks, looking as the stud walks closer to them. “Going to lose that shirt?” Chad asked him. Oh wow, I truly expected Amy to make the comment first. Josh, just being the nice guy that he is, removed his t-shirt and started grabbing boxes out of the truck. Chad, Joe and Amy stood there.“Ladies! He’s helping, not doing the work, let’s go.” I say to them.As I st

Push. Push. Push. We finally made it. I’ve done it, I’ve finally made it through a pregnancy. I’m truly wondering if stress contributed to my losses before. As Josh and I are in the delivery room, I’ve been through extreme labor pains and I just want this baby out of me. “Push.” The doctor yells.Josh is coaching me through as well as he can as we welcome our first child into the world together. “You’ve got this baby, push.”I scream louder than I have ever screamed before. Josh is the only one in the delivery room with me because I couldn’t have one without the rest of my family. They are all in the waiting room. My brother finally moved down next to Amy and it’s been a great couple months with them here completing the puzzle. We haven’t had any more issues with the Antonio drama. Thank goodness. I’m pretty sure the twenty four hour surveillance ended and it’s just casual patrolling of our cul-de-sac.“Push.” I’m trying so hard to get this baby out of me. “Push.”J
