I have to admit, I'm very much in love with this story! It's extremely good, better than TV But really, Its hard for me to root for Hannah and James because I personally think that he's not in 'love' with Hannah, he's in lust with her becuase she's done things for/ to him that Fran hasn't done for him. Note of advice to James: "You can't turn a whore into a house wife!" I also think that if Fran still has feelings for James, she shouldn't have left him to begin with and think that he's not gonna move on. James is the cause for most of the drama, he shouldn't have gotten a call girl to begin with. I can't wait for more!

Totally agree with you! I'm still thinking that James is no so in love with Hannah, I think he's gratefull for all the 'things' that she made for him , and I really want James come back with Fran!

Hi Hannah! Welcome to metchicks! (Nice name btw!) I'm so glad you like my story--have you read the first two in this series? (Call Me Francesca and A French Connection?) James is convinced he is in love with Hannah. He's doing all the things he did last time he was in love with a woman. Unfortunately, getting engaged, trying for a baby and getting a tattoo does not replicate the relationship he had with Francesca. He's trying, he really thinks it's what he wants at the moment. Fran thought that he wouldn't move on, as he spent nearly a year sulking in his house by himself, before devising a plan to visit Hannah in London. Yes, he had his eye on the prize. There will be lots more up today! Thanks for commenting! |

Woooo! Another one for team Hannah! Fran didn't do it on purpose--she was just venting to David about James and his new girlfriend. She realised what she had done afterwards. |

I know right! Hannah is more like a sex toy to James, she's like a trophy wife to him someone he can show off to his friends. I like Hannah but I agree that he should be with Fran too

James had gone to the private airfield not far from home to pick up his kids who were arriving to say for thanksgiving week. I had stayed home with Anthony: letting him greet them alone was important. They would have a lot of new things to process during the course of this trip. We had decided that the kids would meet me and our son when they arrived back at their old house. We had left their bedrooms just as they were —but nearly everything else had changed about their father’s life here in San Rafael. I was intensely apprehensive about meeting them. They were all teenagers now and likely to be either hot or cold to me, and I had no real idea of their personalities or how they would react towards me. I stood upstairs in our bedroom that James had shared for so long with their mother, feeling somewhat like an imposter. I looked down the long driveway to the gate, watching and waiting nervously for James’ black SUV to arrive any minute. My phone vibrated with a text and I grabbed it anxiously. Got the kids—they’re ridiculously excited to be home. See you in 15, I love you. James xx I smiled intensely, letting my nervous breath go. I refocused my attention to my son. His face was bewildered—he seemed to know we were waiting for James. ‘Dada?’ he asked. It was his most consistent word these days. ‘Yes, your dada will be home soon’ I smiled. I was nervous enough to want to change my clothes again. I set Anthony down in his cot and returned to our large walk-in wardrobe. I changed from a casual red dress into a blue pair of jeans, adding a white singlet and a short emerald green cardigan. I had decided to be more casual. I knew James loved me dressed up, but it was his children’s opinions I was more worried about. I left off my engagement ring for now, we were waiting until thanksgiving on Thursday to tell them. I knew he’d told me not to worry, that they wouldn’t expect me to be their Mom, but they were going to expect me to be motherly while they matched me in their minds with their father. I heard the SUV pull into the drive, and my heart jumped into a fast rate with acute realisation: they were here! I looked to the car below parked outside the house. James was unpacking their bags from the trunk, and their loud excited voices were already audible to me from the upstairs bedroom. I caught my first glimpse of his grown up children: they were all much taller than the previous times I had caught glimpses of them. I had first seen them welcoming their father home through the window of their jet the first time I had visited San Francisco. Our second meeting, I had seen them in an ice cream parlour in France with their mother. Castor had skated into me and Francesca had scorned him. He had been a boy then, but now, he was clearly becoming a man. I heard the front door click open downstairs, and I waited my turn for a minute before joining them. I heard James’ happy voice chatting, agreeing to them begging for junk food. He had excused himself, and now he was coming up the stairs to find me. ‘Hannah?’ he opened our bedroom door cautiously. ‘Come down!’ he smiled widely, I had never seen him so happy and looking so energised. ‘The kids can’t wait to meet you!’ he beamed. ‘Alright!’ I followed him nervously down the stairs carrying Anthony. James took my hand in kind support, leading me into the kitchen where his three had already ripped open packets of chips and drained the diet coke from the fridge. ‘Mom never lets us eat this stuff!’ Castor bragged happily with a full mouth. ‘Kids, this is Hannah’ James announced nervously. They turned to see me with their happy faces. Castor’s twitched brighter than I imagined at the sight of me, I wondered if he remembered meeting me in France over two years ago. Cali’s face was a little colder, she had taken only a quick look at me, but her eyes had settled worryingly on Anthony. Marcella positively beamed at us both. I knew she had been waiting a long time to meet me and Anthony. ‘Hi!’ they all chimed casually in their pretty American voices. It amazed me just how much his daughters looked like him. They had James’ features through and through. Cali was the closest physical match to her father, Marcella was fairer and more gentle. Castor was tall and proud, and although I didn’t not know their mother’s features as well, he was clearly more of her than he was of James. ‘And this is Anthony’ James explained, rubbing my son’s back as I held him in my arms. The three of them didn’t know what to do for this part of the welcome. Cali’s face leaned in closer to see his. ‘Hi Anthony’ she said softly, but his small face did not know hers. He broke into a short anxious cry. James frowned, sadly. ‘I’ll go and put him down to sleep’ I said, ‘then I’ll be right back’. James nodded. He made a daring move in front of his children deciding to lean into me for a gentle kiss. The eyes of his three children once again were quizzical, and they looked away painfully as he did. |

Finally caught up now! So the call girl thing is really going to be problematic for all of them... The kids, Hannah, James... I really like that James is looking at Hannah's past with other eyes. But a little apologising and he thinks he's being sensitive enough to have sex! I think Fran is really sorry about David and Ray and that she regrets calling James to bed... Loved that part! Now let's see where it goes, I need to ready the other chapter, I know! |

Yes--the call girl thing is going to get pretty problematic. Fran does regret what she's done to piss off James. Neither tactic has worked so far in getting her husband back. Clearly she thought she had to step it up a bit! |
