"The next question goes to Brian," Alicia said happily.

The drink has started kicking in but Alicia had high tolerance. The drinks they had caused occasional hiccups among the group and random fits of laughter that no one could explain.

"Did you not just ask him a question?" Leslie slurred as she looked Alicia's way.

"No I did not," she said blinking rapidly.

"Yes you did," Leslie said trying to make her voice sound as firm as possible.

"Don't worry Honey" Brian said holding down his wife. "What is your question?" he added turning to face Alicia who was beside him.

"Did you always love Leslie? Even when she was in love with Xavier?" she asked.

The whole group turned their eyes to Brian waiting for his answer. His hand fumbled to the shot glass in front of him.

"What was so hard about that question?" Jason said blowing a raspberry as he looked away.

Leslie snatched the cup from his hand and chugged it down. She felt her throat burning as the strong liquor burnt through. She squ

    "I want to watch" Jessica confessed printing her bottom lips. Xavier blinked. Ever since he started teasing her this was the first time she boldly came at him. He knew it was the drink talking and that she would embarrassed if she remembered the following morning but he could not help but feel teased himself. "I want to watch," she said again the pout not leaving her face. "Take it off" she added her hands going to his chest. "Oh so solid," she said as she giggled. She covered her mouth with her mouth. "You are drunk" he finally managed to say when he got his voice back. "Drunk?" she said with a sigh. "I'm not drunk, I just had a little to drink""Come on let us get you to bed" 'Really Xavier get her to bed?' he asked himself inwardly when putting her to bed was his only solution to what seemed like harassment to him. "I don't want to," she said crossing her hand over her chest as she closed her eyes. "You can't watch me get out of my clothes" he stated as he cleared his throa

    As Xavier climbed down the stairs he met Jason at the base of the stairs. "Uhmm, why are you coming back home?" he asked as he saw Xavier descend alone. "Jessica is quite exhausted so I let her rest. I will ask Roselle to prepare a place for you to stay overnight. It's well over past midnight so just stay here" "So the party is over?" Jason asked. The disappointment was evident in his voice. "There would be nice no drivers again by this time seeing it is a weekday," Xavier said ignoring his question. It was obvious that one could not easily change. The urge to party all night was still a strong part of Jason and he could not shake it off. He sighed disappointedly when he realized he would be forced to go to bed. Xavier entered the kitchen where Roselle was helping clean up. The party had caused them to use ten times more dishes but Roselle was more happy than she could be. After watching Xavier grow up and continuously reject anything that had to do with birthdays. She was glad

    Jessica found herself awake by the crack of dawn. She felt her head ache but it was bearable. She was glad she had listened to Xavier and gone to bed before she took any more drink. She loomed beside her and he was sleeping so peacefully with his hand on the chest that moved in a rhythm as if he was making music. She smiled to herself as she watched him. She might not be able to stay by his side longer but she could at least in the little time she had with him be a good friend to him while having a one sided crush on him. She decided to do so. After all normal people crushed on celebrities and they were still able to live very productive lives without the celebrity knowing who they were. She was lucky, his crush knew her. He might not know her that well but at least he knew her. She stood up and decided to make breakfast. She might have to make a huge meal since they had guests stay over at night. She needed to amaze them once again with her cooking skill set. She had a quick fresh

    "Do you do this every morning?" Leslie asked as she helped Jessica who had been busy the whole time. She still had this stiff aura to her but after the morning coffee, it seemed like she relaxed a bit. "Not every morning. Some days it's less extravagant and some other days I'm too busy to make one" Jessica explained as she flipped the cinnamon pancakes in the pan. The aroma of her cooking a storm filled the atmosphere. "Why?" Leslie mumbled. "You have house staff for all that. You can kick back and relax" "I am used to cooking my meals myself. It seems like I have been doing so for a long while now. I just extended it a little to feed Dawson and Xavier too" she said pouring new batter into the pan. "Moreover I now do it as an appreciation for them allowing me to stay here and taking care of me in many ways" Jessica added silently. Her mind cast back to the days and weeks before that time. It seemed like Xavier was always finding a solution to everything that came up with her. W

    "Jessica I must say you make great meals," Jason said as he leaned into his seat. Jessica had outdone herself with the breakfast making a nice spread that was only seen in movies. The men Jason and Brian devoured the meal so quickly that there was barely anything left on the table. "I feel so stuffed. Thank you" Brian said. "I think I need to take Jessica with me back and allow her to teach my staff to make such lovely meals"Xavier looked up and stared at Jason intently. What did he mean to take his wife somewhere? "Calm down Mr. Delgado, I only said so because she is such a good cook" Jason commented in a sly voice. "Jessica what I mean is that I am sure your restaurant will do very well," he said facing Jessica. "You can trust me I am a business expert and I know when something will do well" "Thank you all for the generous compliments" Jessica replied faking a bow which made everyone burst into small giggles. Angel and another house staff began to clear the table as they sat

    Jessica rushed downstairs to call Xavier who was now having a light conversation with Jason and Brian. "Xavier," she said trying to catch her breath. Xavier stood up to face her. Was something wrong? Why was she panting so much? "What is it?" he asked holding her shoulders. "It's Dawson," she said trying to steady her breathing. She could barely get another word when Xavier was flying out of the living room to the staircase. "Wait," she said as she hurriedly tried to catch up with his speed. As Xavier took two steps at a time over the stairs he prayed in his heart that nothing was wrong with Dawson. His heart sank in his chest. His gut feelings did not seem alright to him and he hated them. He pushed open the door and saw Dawson sitting in the position that Jessica had left him. His face looked pale. From a distance, it was obvious that he was not fine. "Papa" Xavier said cautiously as if he was trying his best not to scare him. "Why are you so loud?" Dawson said almost lifeles

    Xavier prayed to all the gods he could remember. He was not one to believe in religion or practice them but he felt the need for a power beyond his control. His grandfather had been sick for a while and had now outlived the predicted time by the doctors. It was indeed a miracle so maybe out there somewhere there was a power who would help keep his grandfather until he was ready to let go. "Can you be faster?" Xavier screamed at the driver. Jessica who sat beside the driver glanced back at Xavier and Dawson. Dawson had his eyes closed and his hands crossed across his chest while Xavier looked tense it was impossible to miss it. "Can you stop screaming?" Dawson mutters slowly. "You are giving me a headache"Dawson had proved stubborn and had refused to go with them to the hospital. It took the begging and coaxing of everyone who was available to get him to go. They promised to bring him back but Xavier swore to only bring him back if the doctor had cleared that he was well and perf

    The doctor took Dawson in and assured both parties who looked frightened that it was a fever and it was sure to come down with fever reducers. Ross however said that they needed to keep him in and monitor his temperature all night. Ross cleared them to go home and Dawson insisted on it. With so much hesitation both of them went home. While they were in the car Jessica felt the need to apologize. "Xavier," she said when she finally plucked up her courage. Her voice however sounded like a squeaking mouse. Xavier opened his eyes and glanced her way. Her face looked tightened and not because she had undergone any procedure but because of the scare that Dawson had given her earlier. "I really do not know how to say this," she said clearing her throat and sitting up. Xavier's expression was clearing telling and assuring her to say it. His expression put her at ease but she did not know how he would react when she said it. She closed her eyes and tried to steady herself. "If it's that

"You know you should not be screaming while you are this pregnant"Joshua said as he came down the stairs with his daughter in his hands. "If you had come down earlier then I would have had no reason to scream that much" she retorted and he smiled. "It was my little pumpkin here who kept me waiting" Joshua replied as he got to stand b

    "I am so happy for you, this is finally happening," Aletta said holding the arms of Jeanne excited."I am excited but also nervous very nervous does anyone have calming pills?" Jeanne said slipping her hands off Aletta's hand and feeling the sweat on her palm."Calm down, it's just you and Thiago, everyone else is just like a rock. I promise you once you get on that altar every of that nervousness would be gone" Aletta continued. "Thank you," Jeanne said sarcastically."Are you nervous because its mu brother? I can help you run away from this right now" Nichole suggested and Alethea rolled her eyes. "Are all sisters this way? This was the same advice you gave Aletta the other day" Alethea said and Jeanne shook her head. "How can I leave, I have been dreaming of this day" Jeanne replied. "Then calm down even though I don't know why you would dream of marrying my brother but we all choose our battles I guess" Nichole shrugged as she sat down."Nichole" Aletta chastised because she k

    "You have to get to work" Aletta said rubbing the hand of Joshua gently. They had arrived back from their honeymoon over the weekend and this Monday morning was the first time Joshua was going back to work after the wedding."Can't I just lay down here with you all day?" he said taking out her hand and pulling her down to his level."You kept saying that and prolonged the honeymoon by two weeks,""Call me a criminal for wanting to spend time with my wife, I am getting the feeling that you do not want to spend any time with me" Joshua said opening one eye and giving her a judging look. "Joshua, you know that is not true, so get up now""You are no longer my assistant, you are supposed to be begging me to stay a bit more with you""What makes you think I don't want to do that?" Aletta asked taking his dishevelled morning hair back from his face."Because you keep urging me to get back to work so quickly, it's like you can't wait to get rid of me" Joshua took his head back to the pillow

    "Mom don't cry again, you might get a serious headache at this rate," Aletta said rubbing the back of her mother while in a hug. The entire wedding was over already and the whole family was seeing the couple off as they were going directly to the airport for their honeymoon. "Come on, at this rate they might miss their flight" Leon said trying to pull Eunice off her daughter. She had been bawling the entire ceremony, if someone saw her they would think it was a sad occasion. "My daughter," Eunice said as she finally pulled away and took a step back. "I am so happy and so proud of you because you managed or find love for yourself even after everything" Eunice sniffled and smiled. "Thank you, Mom," Aletta said with a smile. "You better get going now" Jessica said stepping forward."We are on our way now" Joshua said pulling open the door and gesturing for Aletta to get in."Call us when you get there" Jessica called after the shut door."Do not call us" Xavier said as if he was giv

    "I was always unsure about how I felt about you, You were always around me, taking care of me and I felt anxious whenever you were out of sight. A little secret that was the reason I always made you work overtime even when it was not necessary" Joshua said and there was a burst of small laughter across the room.They were both standing in from of the priest and altar but they had decided to take their custom written vows there. Joshua cleared his throat and looked up from his paper to stare at Aletta whose eyes never left his face. He flashed a small warm mile to her and she returned it."I never realized my feelings for you until you made that drunken confession that night that caused us to go into a relationship. I had always thought about marriage but for me, it was the only way for me to make children that would take over the company one day, being with you makes me so excited to think of waking up every morning with you by my side, I think of planting kisses on your lips and spend

    "Are you feeling nervous?" Alethea asked Aletta who was sitting in the waiting room with her shaky hands. "Yes I am, who wouldn't be?" Aletta asked as she closed her eyes to steady her breath. "I mean you are very right, who would like to marry my annoying brother, as much as I would like to call you my sister in law I can help you escape if you wish to" Jeanne chimed in. "Thank you so much for the suggestion, I am nervous about this and not rethinking my decision. I can't wait to be married to him" Aletta said as her eyes shot open. "Ew" Jeanne said as she gaged. " What do you see in him?" she added as she picked at her nails. "Everything I want to see" Aletta added. "Jeanne stop trying to put ideas in her head" Jessica cautioned coming towards them. "What did I do?" Jeanne whined."I heard what you said" Jessica replied giving Jeanne a warning look. Jesica knew that her daughter was playing around but she did not want Aletta taking any of the words to heart. "I know I have s

    "Mom's boyfriend would be here soon," Alethea said as she dropped the dish in her hand to the table. "I can not believe that I am being made to meet my mom's boyfriend at her age" "What I can not believe is that she can't order out but is making us to make food for him"Alethea whined as she moved back to the kitchen."What is even more crazy is that she is in a relationship again" Aletta exclaimed as she moved behind Alethea. "Don't get me wrong I guess I am glad she is finding love again" "Same here, if she is happy then there is no issue. Love is in the air" Aleteha added coming back to the table "So why don't you have anyone to share the love with?" Aletta asked. They were making the last trip from the kitchen to the table. "Says you? Who told you that I do not have someone to share this love with?" Alethea said dragging out her sentence and a weird smile climbing her face."Alethea you are hiding something from me" Aletta said going to clutch her sister's hand. "Spill now" sh

    Aletta and Joshua tried to reach Anette and Richard but it was as if they had fallen off the radar. "At least we tried" Aletta said as she set down the phone to the table. "Happy now?" Joshua asked and she nodded. "I guess I have to get going now" she said taking up her phone from the table."Where to? You just got here" Joshua was sad because they had finalized her resignation and she had not been around him like he wanted her to be. He was happy regardless that she was doing what she loved. "I have to go finalize things with HR on hiring your new assistant and then I have to go shopping with your mom and sister" Aletta explained. "Can we at least have dinner together?" Joshua asked and started expressing shock when he saw the expression on her face. "We can not? I barely see you anymore these days" he whined like a child who was cheated of having any ice cream. "I am having dinner with my family, mom is introducing her boyfriend to us today and honestly, I love spending time wi

    "Did you hear about Anette?" Aletta asked as she pushed the jar of pickles into the hands of Joshua. They had picked a date for the wedding and it was in three weeks. They were having one of the date nights where they stayed back home and cooked for each other. "What happened to her?" Joshua asked. Anette shook her head in bewilderment, how could this man be so oblivious to everything happening around him?"Have you seen her in a while?" Aletta asked. She wanted to know how much he did not know. "Well, since that day she came to our house, I did not think much of it when I did not see her again," Joshua said truthfully before taking off the lid of the jar. "But you know she called off her wedding and left the country so abruptly with Richard?" Aletta asked hoping that he at least knew about that fact. Yes, Anette did hurt them all but it would be too mean to not care about her when she had sincerely apologized."Maybe they did not want the wedding again?" Joshua asked shrugging. Al
