CHAPTER 31 & 32 : Love in the Midst of Chaos
● HOURS BEFORE THE ANNIVERSARY CEREMONY ~ SALLY’S APARTMENT●
“You what?” May question, sliding Sally a disbelieving look.
“I said am in love with Xavier. I don’t know when it began or how, all I know is that I love him. I couldn’t bring myself to say no to him when he propose earlier” Sally reveal.
“After what I told you?”
“I know that it’s risky staying with Xavier while knowing his grandmother is a murderer but I can’t help it. I can’t seem to let go, try to understand me, please” Sally stood up, taking hold of May hand.
“Seems like there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s obvious you are head over heels for that guy cause the Sally I know will give up what she wants just to please the people around her. I should never have let you spy on him, this is all my fault” May said, feeling guilty.
“You are not at fault and I know what am doing. Put your mind at rest and trust me, okay”.
“You know I trust you” May said this while giving her a hug.
“And before I forget, someone is outside who wants to see you” Sally inform.
“Who?”
“Why don’t you go and see for yourself”.
May got outside to see no one there, she was about to return when James got out of the car.
On seeing him, her expression change, she ignore his greeting and made a turn to go back in but he came after her.
“Give me a listening ear, May” he said, his hold on her arm detaining her.
“Why? To listen to more story you’ve cook up in that head of yours?”
“At first, I approach you to know what you and Sally were up to. Remember the day I visited your workplace. That was when I met Jenny, she was a friend I lost contact with, we got around to talking and she told me about you. She made me believe that you took her job from her and have been looking down on her ever since “.
“And you believed her?”
“I knew nothing about you other than you having a secret with Sally. Jenny mention something about you being an ice queen and am someone who enjoys a challenge. I saw your coldness as something I could melt and one thing led to another and we ended up making a bet” James finish, letting out a sigh.
“And am sure you had fun trying to prove that you can melt me?”
“May I….”
“Save it, James. Have heard enough to last me a life time. Now that you’ve said your peace, can you leave and I hope you will keep your distance from me” with that said, May pull her hand free and was about to go in when he pulled her back.
She staggered into his arms and he use that opportunity to pull her into his arms.
“What are you….” May words caught in her throat when he cup her cheek.
“I don’t know what I’m doing too but what I do know is that we can’t end things this way. There’s no way am getting out of your life, no way!” He said and claim her lips.
Meanwhile, Marie walk into the room she share with Mathew to find him prop on the only sofa in the room, reading a book.
A smile curve Marie’s face and slowly, she approach him, removing the book and sitting on his lap.
“Okay, this is new. Something happen?” A stun Mathew ask.
“Since Sally and May are busy with their thing. I thought we should also do our own stuff” Marie ask, wrapping her arms around his neck to press a light kiss on his lips.
Mathew respond by kissing her back,accommodating her on his laps. They kiss for a while both licking and sucking every part each other mouth.
It wasn’t until Marie slid her hand under his chest that he stop her.
“What?” Marie ask as he set her aside gently.
“We can’t do this” Mathew reply, ruffling his hair in frustration.
“You don’t want me” Marie said, looking sad.
“I do want you. You have no idea how much I want you, Marie but it seems like you are forgetting one big hurdle”
“Right! We are siblings” Marie said softly.
“Look, why don’t we do something. Let’s stay away from each other for a while”
“What?”
“To cool off. If we stay together then things might be hard and we won’t….”
“No! We can’t be separated. Anything but us being separated” Marie cry fiercely, holding him tight.
“We have to do it, Marie. Who knows, a bit of a separation might be able to help us think straight and the feeling between us might just dissipate” Mathew said, gently pulling away from her.
“That’s what you want? Isn’t it your aim to discard me?” Marie ask.
“I’m not discarding you. I just want us to stay apart for a while”
“Fine then, if that’s what you want!” Marie choke out, letting go of him to walk towards the door.
“Marie” Mathew call, hoping she’d be able to understand but Marie couldn’t, the hurt she felt couldn’t let her reason at all.
“You’ve said your mind haven’t you? Then leave me alone!” She return, slamming the door behind as she leave the room.
● ANNIVERSARY D-DAY ~ LANDON REAL ESTATE COMPANY●
Dressed in a white tux which did justice to his handsomeness, Adam walk into the hall which the Anniversary will be taking place.
He was immediately waylaid by Claire, who pulled him to a private spot to have a word with him.
“Is Sally here?” Adam ask, his eyes searching the mass of people in the room.
“No and I got you here just to go over our plan. Do you still remember what you have to say?” Claire ask him.
“I do. That’s the main thing here, how can I forget?” Adam said in return earning a smile from Claire.
“Since it’s settled, off you go to Sally, she just arrive and also know that I’m rooting for you two” Claire added before floating off.
Sally on the other hand was greeted by some of her colleague. Since it’s the company anniversary, all the workers of Landon real estate has been invited.
Through the midst of a lot of guest, Sally notice Claire and wave at her, she was about joining her when she notice a familiar figure in the VIP section.
Sally smile when she saw Xavier, he got up from his seat in the vip section and began to make way towards her but the sudden arrival of Genova ruin it.
From where she stood, Sally watch Genova hug him, practically acting like a leech by plastering herself against him.
This got Sally angry and jealous, she almost walk towards them to pull Genova away but the assurance of Xavier ring in her finger made her stop.
“They look good, don’t they?” Desiree sudden question got Sally looking beside her.
“You look a little flustered, did I catch you off guard?” Desiree ask sweetly.
“A little” Sally reply, feeling a bit scared in her presence.
“That’s good since I still have more surprises for you. I hope you like it” Desiree said and went off to join Genova and Xavier who were in a deep talk.
The MC chose that moment to get on the podium calling up Desiree for a brief word of advice.
From where Sally stood, she watch Xavier help his grandmother on the podium and when he would have left, Desiree held onto his hand.
“First of all, I’d like to make a toast” Desiree began as the waiter and waitress pass a glass of champagne around to everyone.
When Desiree had her glass in hand, she continue her speech.
“You might all be wondering what the toast is about but I can assure you that it’s a joyful occasion since it’s about my grandson” Desiree smile at Xavier who also smile in return, wondering what his grandmother is up to.
“A joyful occasion needs to be shared with everyone and that is why I’d like us all to raise our glass to toast to my grandson Xavier Landon and his Fiancee Genova William on their recent engagement ” Desiree announce, startling everyone, most especially Xavier and Sally.
Is this the surprise she meant earlier? Sally thought as she watch Genova get on the podium to link hands with Xavier who still have a stun look on his face.
Congratulations poured in from everyone except for Adam who also found the whole thing confusing.
Isn’t Xavier Landon engage to Sally? Adam thought as he saw Sally leaving the room.
Sally stood at the garden, trying to hold back the tears that threaten to spill.
“Sally?” She turn to see Adam standing there, watching her.
“Are you okay?” He ask and she force on a bright smile.
“I am okay. Is there a reason why I shouldn’t be” Sally said,hoping he’d take a hint and leave.
“Why is Xavier getting married to someone else when you told me a few days ago that you two are getting married?” Adam ask and when Sally said nothing, he continue.
“Did he cheat on you or did he think that lady in there is more better for a wife? “
“I didnt do either” Xavier crisp tone came from behind them.
He walk past Adam and took hold of Sally’s hand.
“Let’s get out of here” he said, pulling her along but Adam took hold of Sally’s hand, preventing them from leaving.
“What are you doing?” Xavier ask, glaring at Adam.
“There’s no way am going to let Sally leave with you. You will just have to take her over my dead body” Adam said fiercely.
● A SNEAK PEEK TO THE FUTURE ●
Desiree Landon and Genova were at the boutique going through some wedding catalogue when Xavier walk in.
“Xavier!” Genova call in excitement.
“Am glad you made it here on time. Come take a seat and help Genova pick a dress” Desiree offered but Xavier shook his head.
“I didn’t come to sit with you guys to pick a dress, I have a surprise for you, grandma” Xavier said just as Sally walk into the room.
“Don’t tell me she’s here to help me pick a wedding dress?” Genova ask, snorting in disbelief.
“No. On the contrary, I will like it if you help her pick a wedding dress for our church wedding”.
“What!” Genova burst out.
“You heard me,Genova and grandma, I’d like you to say hello to Sally not as Sally Sawyer but as Sally Landon” Xavier said, startling everyone including the attendant in the room.
“You see, Sally and I are married” he added, flashing them all a smile…..
CHAPTER 33 & 34 : A Secret Alliance – Unexpected Partners
● HOURS BEFORE THE WEEDING ~ ANNIVERSARY PARTY ●
“There’s no way am going to let Sally leave with you. You will just have to take her over my dead body” Adam said fiercely.
“Fine then, your wish is command” Xavier reply, making a move towards Adam but Sally got in his way.
“No! No fight, please” she said softly, starring from one man to another.
She pulled her hand out of their hold and turn to Adam.
“I know you are worried about me and am grateful but I can take care of myself and besides, I have to talk to Xavier” She explain.
Adam knew when to back off when needed and this one calls for it. He stood watching her walk off with Xavier and all he could do is to let out a sigh.
“Get in” Xavier ordered, opening the passenger door for her.
“Are we leaving? What about Genova and your grand…”
“I could careless about them! You are more important” he snap, motioning her once again to get in.
Sally got in and watch him walk round the bonnet to join her in the driver seat.
Sally would have love to ask him where they were headed but he was too busy making calls to some people.
When he ended the call with the fifth person, she decided to break the silence.
“Where are we going?”
“To the court, we are getting married” He said, his answer making her go speechless.
“B…but how is that? How come we are getting married and…and what about your grandma?”
“Like I said earlier, I don’t give a damn! If she can pull up something like that then I can too. She needs to know that she doesn’t own me anymore and I can do whatever I want” Xavier replied.
“So you are marrying me just to prove a point to your grandma?” Sally ask, feeling a bit heartbroken.
The sudden halt of the car on the road side startle Sally but she didn’t have enough time to recover her wits because Xavier release her belt and pulled her on his laps, claiming her lips at the same time.
Sally was taken back at first but then she went with the flow, kissing him back.
They kiss for a long time and when they both pull away, their lips were red and slightly swollen.
“Is this enough to prove to you that am marrying you for you and not because of my grandmother?” He ask, his voice causing a thrill in her.
Sally didn’t trust herself to speak, she could only nod in return.
He set her back on her seat and did her seat belt, his hand grazing the top of her br*st, causing a ripple of shuddering.
Xavier notice this and smile at her, earning a blush.
“Being this way I can’t help but to wonder how our marriage life will be? Certainly hot, right?” He ask, teasing her.
They got to the court office where surprisingly, James and May was waiting.
“They will be our witness” Xavier explain.
“The bride and groom to be look a mess” May said, noticing their ruffled hair.
“This is your first time meeting May, right? May meet Xavier and Xavier this is May my best friend” Sally did the intro while fixing her hair.
“To be honest. I don’t support this marriage but if Sally is sure about it then I will go with the flow. I only hope that you keep her safe” May said to Xavier.
“I promise to protect with my life” Xavier reply.
“Sorry to intrude but we need to get this started if we want the judge which I had to persuade for long to marry you two” James said.
They all went into the register office and sometime later, Sally and Xavier were pronounce man and wife.
The two married couple were smiling at each other as they walk out of the register office.
“So, are we having an after party?” May ask watching the two.
“An after party will be great but I have somethings to take care of”.
“Does that include me?” James ask.
“It does” Xavier reply earning a grumble from him.
“Like I told you before. Sally will no longer be working now that she’s married to me. You will be my secretary until I get a replacement” Xavier told him.
“But….” James stop to stare at May.
“Why are you looking at me?” May ask.
“You do know why am looking at you” he said softly.
“You two seem a bit suspicious” Sally said, watching them with keen interest.
“It’s not what you think. There’s nothing going on between us” May said quickly.
“Really? Then what about the kiss we shared last night?”
“A kiss? Sound interesting ” Xavier said, a smile on his face.
“It’s nothing and didn’t you say you have something to do?” May said quickly.
“Yes but before that. I need you to do something for me, May”.
“What is it?”
“By one tomorrow, I need you to write about our marriage”
“An exclusive? You can count on it” May told him.
“And also, I won’t be able to take you with me tonight. Go back home with May and I will come for you tomorrow” Xavier said to Sally. Giving her a brief kiss before going off with James.
“Does he know that you are in love with him?” May ask, watching them drive off.
“He doesn’t and I don’t intend to tell him for now. I want to take things slow and who knows, he might someday end up falling for me too”
“And if he doesn’t?”
“He will cause am going to devote my time to making him love me” Sally reply.
“What about Desiree?”
“I don’t know but one thing is clear that if she messes with me or my family, I will make her pay” Sally said fiercely.
“Woah….That’s a true vixen” .
“I can be that and more if it comes to defending the people I love. Well, enough about me, tell me about you and James”.
“Oh, there’s nothing to tell” May reply as they made way to her car.
● NEXT DAY ~ SALLY’S APARTMENT●
Sally stood in front of the mirror to check her outfit once again and when she was sure about her appearance, she went downstairs to see Xavier having a chat with Marie and Mathew.
“Sis, you got yourself the best guy ever. I just showed him your childhood pictures and he didn’t budge, he even called you pretty” Marie said the moment she came down.
“Why on earth will you show him that!” Sally said, slapping her on the arm knowing how ugly she look during her childhood.
“Let her be, Sally. I asked her to show me and I intend to keep this one” Xavier said, showing her one of the pics.
“Oh no! You can’t” Sally wailed as Mathew fake a cough bringing attention on himself.
“Does mom know about this?” Mathew ask.
“I….”
“Sally and I will speak to your mom soon, you don’t have to worry” Xavier assured cutting Sally off.
“I do hope you won’t hurt her, she’s very precious to me” Mathew said making tears glisten Sally eyes.
“I will never ever hurt her. I promise” Xavier said again.
Sally gave Mathew a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“Love you little brother” Sally said softly.
“Same here”.
“What about me? ” Marie ask.
“I hate you” Sally said throwing a pillow at her.
“And I love you” Marie called out as Sally and Xavier left her apartment.
He had driven into the highway when she ask him where they are going.
“We need to announce our marriage to my grandmother. I wouldn’t want her reading about it in the newspaper”.
“Do you know where she is?” Sally ask.
“At a boutique. We will go surprise her there” Xavier answered, taking hold of her hand to kiss it.
● BOUTIQUE ●
Desiree Landon and Genova were at the boutique going through some wedding catalogue when Xavier walk in.
“Xavier!” Genova call in excitement.
“Am glad you made it here on time. Come take a seat and help Genova pick a dress” Desiree offered but Xavier shook his head.
“I didn’t come to sit with you guys to pick a dress, I have a surprise for you, grandma” Xavier said just as Sally walk into the room.
“Don’t tell me she’s here to help me pick a wedding dress?” Genova ask, snorting in disbelief.
“No. On the contrary, I will like it if you help her pick a dress for our church wedding”.
“What!” Genova burst out.
“You heard me,Genova and grandma, I’d like you to say hello to Sally not as Sally Sawyer but as Sally Landon” Xavier said, startling everyone including the attendant in the room.
“You see, Sally and I are married” he added, flashing them all a smile.
“This is a joke, right?” Genova was the first to speak after Xavier revelation.
Desiree wave the attendant away, wanting them to be alone before she speak.
“Fine. I admit that I went too far by announcing your engagement without consulting you but then you don’t have to go far as to pretend to married to her just to get back at me” Desiree said, looking calm as always.
“This is not a joke, grandma. Sally and I are married. You might want to confirm on the net for yourself” Xavier said.
Genova quickly search the Internet to see an article about it, she showed Desiree who read it and went quiet.
“Excuse me” Genova said and left the room before she make a fool of herself by crying in front of them.
“I won’t ask for your blessings since you won’t give it to us but I do hope that you will respect my choice and my wife” Xavier told a quiet Desiree before leaving the boutique.
● TEDDY’S RESIDENCE ●
“You assured me that this will work out!” Teddy lash at Genova.
“I thought so too and we had it in control until Xavier showed up with his new bride” Genova replied.
“Great! Since it has come to this, we will have to work on my earlier plan” Teddy said and Genova stared at him.
“What? Scared of Xavier dying?” Teddy ask.
“It’s not that. I just…just think that Xavier shouldn’t be punish for whatever his grand….” Genova didn’t get to finish her sentence because Teddy slap her on the face.
“You don’t tell me what to do and I decide whatever punishment fit for the Landon. Sophia also had a life when Desiree took it from her”
“I won’t spare any of them and that Sally of a girl will be the one I begin with”.
“If Xavier disobeyed his grandmother just to marry that girl then she must be important to him. Once I get Sally out of the way, Xavier will be miserable and that will bring pain to Desiree. I can’t wait for it to begin” Teddy said, wearing the look of a psychopath…..
CHAPTER 35 & 36 : Xavier’s Desperate Search – Saving Sally
● EVENING ~ XAVIER’S APARTMENT ●
“Why aren’t we going to my apartment?” Sally ask as they got out of the car.
“Isn’t a wife meant to stay with her husband?” Xavier ask in return.
“I do know that I’m meant to stay with you but my things are still at my apartment”.
“That has been fixed already” Xavier reply just as a bickering May and James walk out of the apartment.
“You two are here” May said, running towards them.
“Have packed every thing you own and brought it here and also, I added a little accessory which I know will be useful for you tonight, its your wedding night afterall ” May whisper for ear alone.
“Since we’ve got our job done, then we will also take our leave” James said, taking hold of May hand.
“But I don’t want to leave yet” May argue.
“You do and don’t you think it’s best we leave the new married couple so they can be alone” James said dragging her to the car.
“You drive, I want to take a nap” James said, tossing her his car keys.
May stared at him in disbelief before waving at Xavier and Sally who were watching the two of them.
“So, shall we go in?” Sally ask nervously when May drive out of view.
She went ahead of Xavier and had just gotten to the stairs when he lift her into his arms, bridal style.
“What are you doing?” A startled Sally ask.
“Carrying my wife over the threshold, isn’t that a compulsory tradition for newlywed?” Xavier return, smiling down at her.
“You don’t have to” Sally said shyly, returning his smile.
He carried her in and set her down gently, his arms still around her.
“What do you want to do?” He ask suddenly.
“Erm, Am a bit hungry. How about I get change and cook something for us” Sally said this, pulling away from him but he pulled her back and kiss her.
When he move away to stare at her, Sally was watching him, her lips slightly apart.
“I am hungry but not for food” he said softly.
As soon as he said that,Sally wound her arms his neck, pulling his head down for a kiss while he lift her into his arms.
Sally wound her legs around his waist while Xavier palm her @ss for support, he walk them both to the stairs, taking it one at a time and not for once did the kiss stop.
He got to his room and place her down, his hands finding her zip.
Her gown fall at her feet, exposing her to his gaze.
“You are lovely” he said, heavily arouse.
He took off his clothes, leaving him to her gaze and she had to gulp down real hard when she saw his manhood, pulsating for her.
They both got into bed and this time, Xavier kiss her slowly, taking his time to explore all of her while Sally moan out his name.
When she could take it no more, she pull him to her, opening up for him as he penetrate into her folds, making her gasp out in delight.
Then he began to move, slowly at first then faster, both moaning in pleasure.
With their love making still on, he lift her off the bed and onto his laps still penetrating her.
It went on till they both reach the pinnacle of ecstasy.
Still in a sitting position, Xavier tighten his hold around her and gently whisper.
“I’m never letting you go”.
“Do you mean that?” Sally ask, moving back to see his face.
“I do” he said and she kissed him, feeling happy to know that he is possessive of her.
They got under the sheets, wrap in each other arms.
“Can you hear me even without your hearing aid?” Sally ask, noticing he isn’t wearing it.
“I can’t but I can read your lips and that is something am used to” Xavier reply, kissing her.
“Do you want us to see your mom, tomorrow?” Xavier ask.
“But you are busy”.
“I can make time for it”.
“No. I overheard James talking on the phone and you are working on impressing a new investor. I want you to focus on that and during the weekend, we can go see my mom”.
“I hope she likes me” Xavier said softly.
“She will, don’t worry” Sally reply, placing her head on her husband’s chest while feeling like the most happiest woman on earth.
“Quit starring at me or I might be tempted to drive us into a tree” May threaten as she drive along the busy road.
“I told you to stop starring” May said again and that got James starring out through the window.
“Are you angry?” May ask, seeing the serious look on his face.
“James” she called again when he said nothing.
“I keep wondering what our relationship is? I mean, I kissed you that day and since then, you’ve been rebuffing me. If you don’t like me then it’s best you let me know” James finally spoke.
May let out a sigh and stop the car beside the road car.
“Why did you stop?” James ask.
“To do this ” May reply, pulling off her belt to get onto James lap, palming his cheeks in her hand, she kiss him.
“Does that tell you my answer?” May ask when they pull apart and all James could do was to nod in silence.
“Now that you’ve gotten your answer, I better get back to driving the….” Her words trail off when James tighten his hold on her.
“Forget about driving and kiss me again” he said softly and she claim his lips once more
Their second kiss turn out to be more fueled than the first. In no time, May had her top yank off along with James shirt.
Still kissing his arms went around her to unhook her br@, leaving her to his gaze.
“You sure?” James voice came out hoarsely.
“I am” May reply, initiating the kiss again.
● NEXT DAY ~ XAVIER’S APARTMENT ●
Sally woke up very late and she had no one to blame except for her husband who wore her out through the whole night.
She found the note he left to inform her that he already left for work and that he prepared breakfast.
Sally went downstairs to see the food he prepared and a smile spread across her lovely face.
She decided then and there to prepare lunch and take it to him.
● LANDON REAL ESTATE COMPANY●
Done with the task at hand, Xavier sat on his desk, thinking about his grandmother who he hasn’t heard from ever since he told her about his marriage to Sally.
It’s very unlike her to stay quiet after the news he gave her.
“Sorry to intrude boss but Genova wants to see you” James inform.
“Let her in” Xavier ordered and a while later, Genova stroll in.
“Hello there” she greeted.
“Hello. I hope my grandmother didn’t send you to….”.
“She didn’t. I came on my own because I want to talk to you” Genova said quickly, cutting him off.
“About what?”
“Can we talk about it while having lunch. I already book us a restaurant and….”
“Okay. Let me inform James and we will be off” Xavier said briskly, wanting to give her a chance to talk.
A while later, Xavier and Genova walk out of the elevator, heading outside.
Genova watch as Xavier driver showed up with his car, handing him the keys.
“Err, I suggest we use my car” Genova said quickly taking hold of his hand.
“Yours is at the parking lot. Let’s just use mine since it’s here already” Xavier insist.
The arrival of Sally in a taxi got Xavier pulling away from Genova’s hold.
He was smiling as he approach Sally and Genova watch jealously as they both kiss each other.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming “.
“If I did then it will no longer be a surprise” Sally said, starring at Genova who was approaching them.
“Hello, Sally” she greeted with a smile but Sally could sense the hostility in her.
“Are you heading out?” Sally ask after replying Genova’s greeting.
“Yeah. Err, Genova invited me out to lunch” Xavier reply, feeling a bit guilty.
“It’s just that I want to talk to him and It’s a private discussion” Genova said, putting her arm in Xavier who shrug it off.
“Oh, okay. I brought you lunch but if you are going out, I better save it” Sally said.
“Why save it when you brought it for me” Xavier said, taking the lunch box from Sally, he turn to Genova, a sorry smile plastered on his face.
” I will have to cancel with you Genova. As you can see my wife came all the way here to see me, I can’t let her leave without….”
A loud explosion behind them ended whatever Xavier was saying.
The three of them fell on the floor due to the impact of the explosion.
“Are you okay?” Xavier ask Sally whose arm was oozing blood due to the fall.
“I am. Take a look at Genova” Sally said,holding onto her arm.
“I am okay” Genova reply, her eyes on Xavier’s car which is now burning.
“That’s your car! If you had been in it, it would have exploded with you in it!” Sally said in shock while Xavier pull her into his arms.
● SALLY’S APARTMENT●
Marie got downstairs to see that Mathew had prepared lunch for her but she ignored it and got herself cereal and milk.
“If you keep eating that, you won’t get enough norishment ” Mathew said, standing by the door way.
“What I eat is none of your business” Marie return dryly, eating a mouthful of cereal.
In an instant, Mathew was at her side taking the bowl which contain the cereal to empty it in the hand washing.
“Why did you do that!” Marie yell at him.
“Be mad at me all you want but I won’t let you starve yourself. I prepared some good food for you, so eat it!” Mathew ordered.
“And who are you to tell me what I should or shouldn’t eat!”
“I am your brother” He said, reminding her of who he is.
“Right, you are my brother” Marie said, her anger dissipating to be replace by a sad look.
Marie turn to leave but Mathew took hold of her hand, pulling her into his arms to kiss her, a fierce but tantalizing kiss.
They were both breathing hard when he pull away.
“You have no idea how hard it is for me to stay away but you know we have to” Mathew said softly.
“We don’t. It’s a choice we have to make and it’s not a must that we follow through. What matter is that you love me as much as I love you” Marie return, wrapping her arms around his waist.
” I love you Marie, I love you so much”.
“Then kiss me, kiss me Mathew” .
They lean in for a kiss, their lips touching each other slightly when they heard the door bell.
“We don’t have to answer” Marie said softly.
“You know we do” Mathew return both heading to the door.
Mathew open the door to find the least expected person there.
“Mom!” The twins called in unison……..
