I double-check my drawings that I'll show my client tomorrow and grin loving them. He'll only be flying in tonight so I'll see him tomorrow.
I'm really excited for this project and can't wait to get started on this one! The house is over eight thousand square feet and has just been built. Fresh out the oven.
I heard a knock on my door and I groaned, who is disturbing my peace?
Whoever that is is really rough on my door. I walk towards it slowly and peek through the glass and I groan. I open the door a little bit and he pushes himself in.
"Please do come in." Note the sarcasm in my voice.
"What is it with you and running away!?" He raised his voice at me.
"Woah, relax there buddy. We normally start with a 'hi, how are you?' then get to the questions okay. Let's try this again. Besides it's a new day, get over yesterday."
"Listen here Rina I do not have to get through all the pleasantries when all I'm trying is to be..." I stopped
"Good morning, Rina right?" A husky voice sends chills down my spine and my ears perk up at the accent. Latin maybe?"Mr Cortez! What a pleasure." I brought my hand to shake his hand and I obviously had to admire his looks, this man was freaking gorgeous. Beautiful light brown eyes, full pink lips, curly black hair in general admirable features. I was jealous!"Alex please, you're working on my home." Guh that accent and that smirk is a panty dropper! This man is freaking gorgeous. His fingers are sexy and clean, and let's not even get started on his body! Drop-dead gorgeousI always thought Latinos were beautiful, he was beautiful. We would have beautiful babies together, heart eyes. You have gorgeous babies with K. Relax! Bitch."Ready to see your home?" I asked with a smile, I was genuinely proud of this project and I had a great feeling he would love it! This was the best I've seen my work at, that's what you always say. True, I get excited o
Today we started on Alex's house and I've been wearing a huge grin the whole time. It's a lot of work but it's also a lot of fun work. We already shopped for the materials yesterday, we being Natasha and I, my assistant.For a Monday I'm very energetic which is unlikely, but when you doing something you love, you were a smile."You ready to get started on the first bathroom?" I smiled cheekily at Tasha. It was the first bathroom of many and we were going deep ocean blue with this one, Alex said he loved dark colours so we were working with colours that would set a dark but calm mood. My kind of style."If we want to at least finish 3 today we better get started." She chuckled and we began. Alright measure, cement, tile, look. That was the systematic approach we took and we would grin at each other when we were done."You hungry?" I ask Tasha when we were done with the first bathroom, was a load of work considering this bathroom was big, but not as big as
I knock on the door and wait for a response from her."It's open!" She shouted and I got in following the smell of food all the way to the kitchen, her back is facing me as she stirs something on the stove."Hey.""Hey! You hungry?" She asked turning around with a smile, she seemed happy."Every time I come over you're cooking or there's food." I crossed my arms over my chest leaning against the kitchen island."Then you just have good timing?" She said with a grin, "and I'm assuming you are hungry." She dished up for the both of us and passed me my plate. It smelled divine."The twins still at your parents?" I asked her as I took a bite of my fork."Yup, they're enjoying it there since all she does is feed them junk. So they're staying another week." She shrugged, we ate in silence until she was done."Is there a reason you called me here?" I asked her as she washed the dishes and I wiped them."Uhm yeah. I want to intr
It's been three days! I repeat three days since K has been in his father role with the children and every day I come back home to a messy, loud and busy place. Every single day!Currently, I was standing in the master bedroom telling the guys how I want them to place the lights and what type of lights, what I love about my team is that even when I'm not making sense they understand.I stood there watching them but my mind wasn't here with them, I was thinking about Tuesday when I finally introduced K to his children."So, you ready?" He asked me after I called them to come down from their rooms. For some reason my hands were sweaty and I was hella nervous! I don't understand why."Yeah sure." They came down with grins on their faces which made me wonder what they were up to. "Sit down please." My voice came out a bit squeaky.K and I sat in front of them on the coffee table and I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to find two pairs of K's eyes l
"Finally!" Natasha shouted out as we finished the last bathroom of this enormous house, I chuckled at her actions and left her dancing in there. I went off to the master bedroom and saw that they had already put in the flooring, we went for dark wood flooring and yup...black.it was surprisingly a beautiful colour, technically my favourite colour but this wasn't my house. I went in and helped them with the little I could.Honestly speaking this week has been great, I've been smiling more than I normally do and sometimes I just cry out of nowhere. Have you ever held so much joy that you just cry thinking about it?K is pretty awesome with the kids, awesome doesn't even begin to describe how much fun it's been having him at home with our kids, yeah it's noisy but it's everything I imagined a home would be like, I deeply regret taking so much time to tell them but it's all in the past now."Don't forget about tonight amor." Alex spoke behind me and I c
I'm sad. Actually I feel betrayed, I really thought that she would stay but she left to go to whoever this Alex is.I pull up my briefs and walk around her house, might as well do something around here. My mind immediately runs to that closet that the kids and I stashed our stuff.I love them so much, the amount of joy they're able to emit out of me is crazy! I'm obviously a kid all over again when I'm with them, the amount of fun we have together is awesome and I think I'm spoiling them way too much but the point is we have fun together.Only if Rina could see how I am with them, but every time she comes back she's either stressed out or exhausted or both. Then she becomes grumpy and moody and sleeps the rest of the day and only wakes up when I'm about to leave.Maybe she's just avoiding me, who knows... I finish cleaning the closet and packing the stuff properly, I make a mental note to build an extra storage cabinet. She'll probably get all pisse
Have you ever woken up in such an abrupt manner as if you were being chased by someone? Well, that's how I woke up, I even hit my hand with the side table next to my bed. Ouch... something so weird must have happened last night because I'm naked, in my bed. I never sleep naked...stark naked that is."Ah, so you up." K gets in without a shirt and a tray of food in his hands."My head aches. What happened last night?" I asked him as I drank the pills, "and why am I naked?""You don't remember love? We had so much fun last night." He said with his sexy smirk."What kind of fun?" I was trying so hard to remember but ended up giving myself an even much worse headache than the one I have."The kind grown-ups engage in. I have to say you were pretty wild last night. I didn't know you liked that sort of stuff baby girl." He came so close to my face and took a bite off the pancake I had in my hand and hummed in satisfaction."You fucking with me righ
"Really! An arcade!?" I exclaimed excitedly as I looked at K with wide eyes, my eyes quickly swept over to my kids and I saw they shared my excitement."Cool K!" Khuli shouted and Khaili was jumping up and down. I started laughing and in between my laughs, there were snorts."Why are you laughing?" They all looked at me as if I was crazy."Cool K. Cool cats, we are the cool cats" I sang the song and they still look at me crazy, "argh...you guys suck. Let's go have fun.""Hey hey hey!" Somebody shouted behind us."Zoé!" I ran to hug her and Thuso, "it's been a whole week since I last saw you guys!""K invited us, where's Bo?" She looked around and then saw the kids pushing me away to get to the kids, well wow. Thuso mumbled a sorry and went over to Zo."She really wants to have kids doesn't she?" K said next to me and I nodded smiling at my friend who was already pulling our kids to go play games."Well she ki
Being married to K had to be the hardest and most challenging thing ever, and I don't mean our relationship was hard, not at all, it was whohe was in this place. Always attending events, having photoshoots, a million interviews and having so many people around us. It was exhausting and annoying too.Which brings us to this day, two years later and we're finally having our wedding! However, let us clarify that a bit, the wedding isn't happening because I want it to happen, it's happening because he's Khalil Mancuso and some other reason that I don't remember.Standing in front of the mirror I huffed looking at myself but I was screaming internally looking at my wedding dress, I repeat my wedding dress! It was a ball gown wedding dress, filled with pearls and diamonds at almost every piece of the dress, it had the longest sleeves I had ever seen in a dress, they were see-through but they also had those small pieces of diamonds and pearls plastered around t
After months of much-needed therapy sessions, I was finally able to finally hold my babygirls and I broke down when I held them and I didn't want anyone to take them from me, their smell was extremely sweet and I loved it, their smiles drove me crazy and every time they smiled for me I would giggle like a school kid and cry afterwards. My babies were everything and I missed out on so much of their lives, ten months was a lot but I would make up for it.K said I was becoming obsessed with them because I would always watch them sleep and follow them around the house as they crawled around it, maybe he doesn't understand that I'm trying to make up for lost time and I just can't get my eyes off of them, at all!"Rina! Come help me finish packing up," K shouted from the bedroom and I ignored him watching as Khuli and Khaili played with Remi and Rene, the K twins were just as obsessed as I was with Remi and Rene, I mean who would never be obsessed with such adorable twins? "
Five Months LaterGiving birth to twins was difficult as it always is, but not being able to bond with your own children was worse and attending therapy had to be much worse, but as long as I was getting the help I needed right? Dr Ferg understood me all too well, or what it was I tried to say but wasn't able to get it through my lips. I'm currently going through a phase of hating myself eternally and internally, what kind of a person has a hard time being around their own children?I always pre-pump my milk, every time K enters the room holding them I exit and stay in my bedroom until I eventually fall asleep on top of the covers and wake up underneath them with K's arms wrapped around, but these days he's always facing the other direction and I don't blame him.Explaining all of this to Dr Ferg is relaxing to see somebody is listening to me and not trying to get me to see things their way, but help me figure things out."Why do you think Khalil hates you?" he asked me and I took a d
Rina squeezed my hand really hard as she was being rolled into her private room that I had paid for because let's be honest about this, they deserve this. She was doing some breathing exercises with my mother and her mother was on his way. Her water breaks in the weirdest places, first it was Bo's couch now the restaurant but I didn't want to say anything about it. It's almost funny looking at these cooperate with each other but I'm not going to say anything about it."K," Rina whispered looking at me from the corner of her eye, her skin was glistening with sweat and I wondered if she was pain."Yes?""Could you please stop thinking out loud, it's making me angry," she said so calm and I was confused, wasn't she supposed to be shouting and screaming right now?"How long ago did her water break?" the doctor asked me and I was shocked, I couldn't respond, I opened my mouth but nothing came out."About twenty minutes ago," my mother responded and they helped her get on the bed and into t
I sat back on the chair rubbing my belly as hunger coursed through my body and my stomach grumbling loudly disappointed in my actions of not feeding myself."K where is your mother?" I growled bouncing my knees up and down, she had requested this dinner to talk over the contract although I didn't understand what was the purpose of me being here. To add to my distaste of this day, I was a week late with my pregnancy and since I wasn't really sure when was my last period, the doctor concluded that we had calculated my 'estimate' time wrongly."She'll be here Foxie, relax," glaring at him, he shook his head. "Maybe I should call her.""You think?" I snapped, besides, I don't understand what was the point of even having this dinner over a contract that was terminated two months ago! Most important of all, again, why am I here!"I have arrived, you can stop calling me son," she said in her strong, powerful yet so lady voice."You're late mother."
"Well, open it!" I thrust the package that was in my hands to K's, it was flat covered in a gold wrap neatly."Why should I be the one to do it?""Because she's your mother, now do it," I pressured him wrapping my arm around his."It's kind of hard to open it if you're clinging onto me like that," he said and I rolled my eyes grabbing the package from him and ripping it open, I pulled out the black envelope with her initials on it, honestly this woman was a classy bitch! "I like the envelope," I said and it was his turn to roll his eyes."It's not about the envelope, what is inside it," he took I from me and opened it pulling out the papers and scheming through them as he flipped over to the next page."Well, what do they say?" I asked trying to see what was written in the paper but instead, he wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up spinning us around making me dizzy and screaming for him to put me down. "Today is an awesome day!" he said as he pressed his lips against my
After all of my excitement over winning the bet against Foxie, and most importantly, being blessed with another pair of twins, girl twins! We all sat around the table, Foxie sitting right next to me pretending to sulk but the excitement on her face evident, and on my left was Khaili while Khuli sat on the left of his mother.Both extremely excited to welcome their baby sisters not so long from now, well to be specific it was two months from now. It's really funny how time flies by really quickly, not so long ago I was begging her to take me back and now we are here about to have two more babies, I can't wait!"K?" "Yeah?" I met her brown eyes that were wide open, looking all innocent yet she was far away from that, she was licking the icing off from her fingers and I wondered if that's what she called me for, either way, I would still enjoy the teasing.Pinching my arm her eyes looked mischievous but it was obvious that isn't what she was calling me for."Where's Jerome?" She asked as
"I'm so close," I whispered into my arms as K pounded himself in me from behind, groaning we both climaxed and he released in me and pulled out shortly after, pulling my dress down I turned around to find him pulling his pants up. "We should stop doing this.""You're the one that came here Foxie," he shifted the blame to me and I glared at him as I pulled my dress straps up."To talk about the party, and then you decided to seduce me with your eyes!" So perhaps K and I have been having some hot sessions almost everywhere, in his car, my car, his office, the toilets and whichever secluded area we happened to be in."You could've said no," he said smirking knowing exactly I could never say no especially in the condition I'm in. "So what did you want to talk about concerning the party?""I hate you," I stomped my feet and he laughed coming closer to me and wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer."And I love you, and will c
I opened the door allowing K to come in for one of his visits which seems to be every day and once again he brought flowers and chocolates."Hi, Rina," he kissed my twenty weeks pregnant belly and just like the other days, he talked about how he is going to fight for all of us and how we're going to be a family soon."They're out in the garden," I told him where the twins were and he nodded walking off in the direction of the garden where he was welcomed with a huge scream."Tell me again why you broke up with him?" Screaming, I jumped facing Karabo who was standing behind me eating potato chips."What is wrong with you?" I snapped and he grinned crunching on his chips and he winked."What is wrong with you letting the man you love go?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes walking to the kitchen and getting myself a glass of water."I'm making his life easier, he won't have to choose between me or the company," I shrugged and he roll
