June woke up the next day in a room entirely different from hers. She yawned and then saw that Layla was asleep beside her on the bed. Her mind immediately went back to last night, she had called James to pick them up at the hospital and then he brought them over to his house since June and Layla didn't want to go back to the house that held so many memories of them with their mother.

That's why they were here, June stood up from the bed gently, because she didn't want to wake Layla up from her sleep. She entered the bathroom and saw new toothbrushes there, she thanked James in her mind and brushed her teeth before she freshened up.

When she got out of the room, she decided to make James breakfast to thank him for what he did for them but when she finally found his kitchen, she met James there.

"I didn't know you would be a man who cooks," June said and James turned to look at her with a smile. He removed the apron from his neck.

    June got into the office and dropped her bag on the table, she arranged it everywhere so it wouldn't look unkempt. She hadn't been to work for a week and yet James didn't fire her and she was grateful for his kindness. She had buried her mother successfully the day before and June knew she was supposed to stay back at home with Layla since they were still mourning but they needed money to survive so she had to work. She had poured her mother's ashes into the ocean and Layla was the only one who was there with her, James had asked to be there, he wanted to be there for her but she didn't let him because it was a family issue and he was just her boss. If she got closer to her, it would be like starting all over again. "So we changed the old stamp and replaced it with the new design," James said to Andrew as a crowd of people came out of his office, they spotted her and came to her table. "Good morning Mr. Stahom," June greeted James personally first as her boss"June, what are you do

    James stopped the car in front of June's house that night and she unbuckled her seatbelt quickly and was about to get out of the car when he held her, to stop her from leaving. "My mind has been occupied the whole day, I'm sorry about my manners, thank you for driving me home today, for the food, the flowers, and the necklace, thank you, James. I appreciate it" June said "You don't have to thank me June," He said and she nodded and tried to get out of the car once again but he held her back just like before. "Do you have something to say to me?" She turned to him to ask and James nodded in affirmation as his hands rubbed the back of his head. "I wanted to ask if you would like to go out with me for dinner tonight," He said and she sighed. What the fuck was his problem, why wouldn't he just leave her alone and let her be happy? "My sister is home alone, I'm already home late as it is, I can't leave her here for long," June said using Layla as an excuse not to go out with James. "

    Michael kept turning on his bed that night, trying to sleep. He had an important meeting the next day and still, he wasn't able to even get a wink of sleep that night since once again, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of June, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He couldn't stop dreaming about her and he couldn't stop himself from wanting to go to her. He missed her so much and most of all, he couldn't bear the fact that Angel hadn't smiled since June cut ties with them more than a month ago. Angel wouldn't talk well or eat well or even interact well, all she did was mop around the house wearing a sad face and ask about June and when she could come back to them. While he was on thought, his room opened and he turned to look at who was there even though he already knew it was Angel. She couldn't sleep, he was sure of it because he also couldn't go to sleep. "Daddy" She whispered while hugging her teddy bear close to her chest and Michael sat up on his bed "Come here baby," H

    "Angel we are going out today," Michael said and she got down from the chair and stared at Michael with a frown."Daddy did you see June, is she coming over tonight, what did she say daddy?" Angel asked "I finally got June to see you Angel but she won't be coming over to see you," Michael said "Then how am I going to meet June's daddy if she doesn't want to come here to see me?" Angel asked"Well we are going over to see June at her house, she gave me her address and invited us over," Michael said "Daddy, I'm going to see June soon. wow, I'm going to put on my favorite princess dress so I can look pretty just like June daddy" Angel yelled and Michael chuckled. He loved how she was happy and excited about seeing June. "Daddy when we get to June's house, you should go on your knees and apologize to June so she can come back home with us," Angel said and her words startled Michael. "Okay honey, I will try to talk to June and see if she would come back to us. You don't want to be a l

    "I should get the door," June told Michael and stood up. She got to the door and realized that James was at the door. She was confused because James didn't tell her that he ear coming over nor did she invite him.She couldn't leave him outside for the fear of losing her job and she also didn't know how Michael would feel if he saw James after his confession. In the end, she opened the door for James. "What are you doing here Mr. Stahom?" June asked but he strolled inside the house. "I told you to always call me James, at least when we are alone June," James said and June frowned at him. She knew that he must have seen Michael's car parked outside her house and that must be why he chose to come and cause trouble."James, what are you doing here?" June asked again and he hands her the flower in his hand and the pack of chocolate. June was forced the take it from him and then she dropped it on the table"I didn't know you were here big brother," James said as he turned to Michael. Mich

    Michael got out of the kitchen and sat down in his study at home but no matter what, he still hasn’t been able to concentrate all day. He had to leave work early because he kept yelling at all his workers and his secretary told him to take the rest of the day off to rest since he wasn't in the good mood. Unknown to them that it was because of what he saw yesterday at June's house.It was because he saw James talk to June like they were long-term friends. After all, he got her gifts, and because he saw James kiss her cheeks and that's why he was losing his mind and just couldn't think about something else all day. "Daddy, where are you?" He heard Angel ask. She must be looking for him. "I'm in the study baby, come here" Michael called out to her and she walked into the study with a smile while holding her teddy bear. She had been in a really good mood since they got back from June's house last night and Michael knew it was because she met June. He was glad that his grumpy gloomy days

I just really need to be with my friend tonight" Layla said and June sighed"But I can drop you off, why are you insisting that I stay at home?" June asked and Layla laughed"Can you stop worrying yourself? you don't have a car and you would spend money to get a cab which I don't want you to do and that's why I asked my friend to tell her mum to pick me up. That way you can meet her when she gets here" Layla said and June realized that Layla had thought about her decisions very well. "Fine then, she can come to pick you up but I don't want you to stay up at night for too long so you don't get a headache tomorrow morning," June said "Okay, June I promise, I will be fine. It's not

She put the food in the oven when Angel ran into the kitchen and then walked her to her with a frown. "June" She called in a silent voice and it was at that moment that June knew that the little girl was feeling down. "What's wrong Angel, aren't you playing with Layla anymore? Or are you hungry because I'm making dessert right now and dinner is almost done" June said and she nodded in refusal? "Where is daddy June, when is he going to come back?" Angel asked with a frown.

"I'm sorry honey, it's been days since you saw him. Michael must also miss you, he was in a meeting when I called him earlier this morning" June said "Can I call daddy now, I want to talk to him June, I miss him?" Angel said and June smiled

    Michael bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly, and still, that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. He brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple and then his lips were on hers again. June stood on her toes and reached up as she pulled him down to her, He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t the gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her body. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her waist, gathering her against him, still kissing. His lips tasted like honey. They stopped to catch their breath.He smashed his lips on hers again. she tasted so sweet and he could smell her perfume from how close they were. Slowly, he lifted her from the ground and carried her to the counter so she would sit before he spread her legs open. "Wait in the kitchen?" she asked with her eyes open wide. "I don't

"I would have asked you to go with me but I know you wouldn't agree to go with me because of the kids," Michael said as he tossed his clothes on the bed. "I asked you to fold them" June complained and then folded them for him before she placed them into his box neatly. "I have you to do it for me," He said and she rolled her eyes at him. "I know, I want to follow you too, get time to ourselves, time away from the girls but I can't leave them at the same time because of how things are now, the cops haven't caught the other men who tried to kidnap Layla or the actual person who gave the orders so we have to be careful," June said and he nodded.

    That evening, Michael watched as June baked a cake with her sister and Angel in the kitchen. "Stop standing there, at least make yourself useful even if you can't bake Michael," June said and he frowned. "I'm fine with just watching you bake for the kids from this place June so ignore me and keep doing what you are doing," Michael said "I'm done, I just have to put the slices in a plate for the kids and then I will be with you," June said and Michael nodded.

    Michael's phone began to ring again and they ignored the call thinking it was the head of the IRS department that might be calling. But June couldn't focus on any other thing the way the phone was ringing so she picked up the call for Michael. "Good afternoon, Mr. Stahom isn't in a position to receive a call now, you can leave me a message to give to him or call him again in the next one hour," June said politely "I'm sorry ma'am but it's important, can you tell him that the chief of police would like to speak to him, concerning the case with the attempted kidnap from yesterday?"
