Smiles needs to have a bath and change but she can't do that because only one room is available and she doesn't want to see Keane.She lies back on the sofa trying so hard to sleep but to no avail. It bothers her to know he doesn't care anymore. Her body is sticky and she sweats.Unable to keep on, she walks into the room. "I need a bath," Smiles said, staring at the man on the bed who was busily working on his phone as if she wasn't talking to him."I don't think I am carrying the bath with me, am I?" Keane asked not to take his eyes off his phone.Smiles stare at him, tired. She has no choice but to take everything, it's not like she chose to be stuck here with him."I need a change of clothes!" She adds."I don't have any," Keane tells her to her face.She frowns, "what do you mean by that?" She fumes, annoyed by his words."Easy, I don't have any clothes to offer you" He pressed on."Why not? "Smiles asked, she didn't know if she should cry or laugh. "no! the question here should
Keane captures her lips, kissing her as gently and passionately as ever.How he misses this, the sweet taste of her mouth. It feels like heaven on earth, no! She is his heaven on earth.Smiles didn't pull away, she embraced him, pulling him closer for more. Her body was getting hotter with every passing second, she could swear she is dyinwantingts for him, all of him.Her hands travel under his t-shirt, and she helps him take it off. As if being punished, her hands locate his pants as she pulls them down.They never break away from their intense kiss,"Don't you ever, ever again leave me Smiles, I'd never felt so lost and dead in my life until you made me face it" Keane said between their lips and kissed her hard.Smiles heartaches, she knows she ''s caused it all. If only she had stayed, they would have been together by now, no one would've been hurt and her children won't have been separated from their dad.She pulled him in in response, there were absolutely no words left to say ho
Keane carries Smiles out of the bath, she doesn't refuse. She let herself get consumed in his sweet and fresh scent of nature and mint.Her hands circle his neck, face buried in the crock of his neck.He placed her on the bed with so much care as if dealing with the most fragile and precious thing in the world… Well, she is his most precious treasure and possession. So yes, he ought to treat her as such.He pulls out the hair dryer from the cupboard by the side, it was as though he knew he'll need it.Smiles didn't complain, and she was enjoying every bit of what he was offering. She's missed this for a long time… five years isn't five days and only God knows how much she has been struggling with herself on those long lonely nights, keeping her cravings to herself.It sucks but she had to, she has experienced it all. Life without him is not worth calling life.Keane's long fingers run through her hair as the dryer blows on it. Smiles eyes shut close, enjoying the sensation of his fing
"Let's go home" He said, putting on his panties.He's been longing to see his kids, it hurts to know he wasn't there when they were born and he doesn't blame Smiles anything.Anyone could have reacted the same way if being placed in her shoes."Are you sure you are willing to face Thousands of millions of questions from your two little geniuses?" Asked smiles, still lying on the bed completely naked without a care in the world. "We can stay here all day loving each other" she teased, climbing down the bed and walking to where he is standing."I would love to, only after I take you back home, with them of course" Keane knew what he wanted, there is no way he will take the chance of doing what's right.Smiles couldn't tell how happy she felt hearing him say those words, 'he will take her home, to their home. The home she's once loved with passion, but not anymore.'She wraps her long slender hands around his torso, "I don't need to go home because I am home, you, Keane Austin is my hom
"Mom is back!" Smiles said over her voice, arms wide open inviting her babies for a hug.Nate and Kate were on the sofa playing, and as soon as they heard their mom's voice, they hurriedly ran to her.As promised, Nate allows Kate to take the lead and embrace their mom first before him.The feeling of having her babies in her arms warms her heart. Smiles kiss their forehead, cupping her face."How are my sweets doing?" She asked, with a big smile plastered on her face."We waited for you but you never came," Kate complains, pouting."And grandma said you went for a meeting, why did you take this long?" Nate adds eyes are all puppy-like."I'm sorry babies, mama had a lot to handle but I promise not to ever leave you guys alone, you know you are my sunshine and my moon, huh?" Smiles tickle them on their tummy.Both giggled in response, feeling happy to see their mama again.All these while, Keane has been standing silently behind watching them. The smile on his face was beyond what he
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Keane asked, making sure she wasn't pushing herself too hard.Smiles nods, "yes!" She said with all certainty.They are set to leave, but Fiona isn't back yet. Smiles knows it's not right to leave without saying goodbye but she isn't ready to stay any longer away from Keane.Based on what the maid said, Fiona will be coming back in a day or two and that's a lot of time to waste doing nothing."You look conflicted" Keane didn't bid around the bush, he could tell her so much wish to go yet something was holding her back."Mom, she isn't home and I need to inform her" Skiles explains, resting her butts on the sofa."I'd advise we wait for her to return" Keane proposed knowing how unfair it will be for him to take them away just like that."I'd love to but she won't be coming anytime soon…Not today " Smiles cries with no tears, covering her head with her palms." No stress then, leave her a message. " Keane walks to her side," maybe a note or message…A
"They are so adorable!" Keane comments staring at the sleeping face of Kate and Nate."What happened?" Smiles asked, she's been thinking about the last scene that happened between him and Lisa.Keane raises a brow questioningly at her, demanding more elaboration.Smiles closed the door behind, "the day of our wedding, what happened?" She faces him, hoping to get him to say something.Keane breathes out, and in a swift movement he carries her up heading to their room." You need rest, I will help wash you off" he said, and kissed her forehead.He doesn't want to talk about it 'cause he knows the mastermind behind their unsuccessful wedding and he doesn't want to tell her knowing how badly she will react.Like his favourite poem that he knows every word and meaning, so is Smiles to him. He knows she thinks with her heart, not with her head, and when she is hurt, she jumps to a conclusion without a second thought.Smiles at the face of the one person she loves the most, without measure.
"Grandma!" Smiles calls, excitedly as she walks to Grandma Shiley who relaxingly sat back on the chair in the garden.She seems busy, staring at something she's holding. Hearing the voice of a familiar someone, grandma Shiley turns behind. Her eyes grew wide in disbelief, yet the excitement was seen."S-smiles?" Grandma Shiley calls out, voice stuttering. She couldn't believe her eyes, it's been a long since she felt this happy and here she is, experiencing it."Oh lord, I've seen it all, take me now" Grandma Shiley cries. Arms spread wide inviting Smiles for a hug, Smiles happily throws herself into her arms."I've missed you so much grandma" Smiles cries, "I'm sorry I left, I was so stupid to have done that" she continues."Let it go now child, let bygones be bygones" Grandma Shiley stroked gently on her hair, calming the crying girl.She doesn't blame her at all, if she as the grandma was hurt, then it's ok for her to feel more."All that matters is you are home with us. I thought
Smiles and Lisa arrived at the church alongside grandma Shiley, they looked so beautiful in the all-white dress.Both girls were super happy, but Smiles was on the edge.Even though she knows things will turn out fine, she couldn't help but sweat remembering the last time her long dream wedding was ruined.As soon as their car stops, she helps herself out not minding how heavy her dress is. She rushed out and was met by Her dad and Mr Austin.Since she came back, she hasn't got the time to visit them. She was happy to see them but she didn't have the time to spend with them as her eyes darted around, looking for a certain someone.Her heart calls out to Keane, she pushes herself through climbing up the stairs."Heading somewhere dear wife?" Keane sounded from behind.Smiles could feel her heart flutter in excitement as she turns to him, without a word, she throws herself into his arms."You are here, thank God" she breathes out, tears rolling down her cheeks.She can't tell how scared
In a room with little or no light was a lady tight to a chair, as she struggled to set herself free.She didn't know how she found herself locked up, the last thing she remembered was getting into a taxi after her car broke down."Is anyone there, please help!" She cries, face twisting in pain because of the rope tied around her wrist"I need to get out of here," she murmurs to herself.As if being heard, the door flew open as a man in black walked in black followed by a lady."Who are you? And what do you want from me?" She asked in a trembling voice. She doesn't understand why they are keeping her hostage.It was dark, and the light coming from outside made it hard for her to see their faces."Please let me go!" Her cries came."Let you go? Are you serious right now?" Fiona's voice sounds as she makes her way to where she is tied up."Do I know you? Who are you?" She stutters, unable to figure out the owner of the voice.Fiona let out a sad laugh, "who am I?" She tilts her head to t
It was late in the night when Smiles and Keane put their babies to sleep."Finally!" Smiles exclaim, taking in a deep sigh of relief. It wasn't an easy tax to make Nate sleep but she did it at last."He seems to be a naughty one" Keane pulls her into his arms, circling her in his large broad chest."The apple doesn't fall far away from the tree!" Smiles said, chuckling."I know right? Only now I see how naughty and clingy I was and still am, but I love it" He caresses her earlobe. "I don't mind being naughty, so long as it's you…I will love to be a thousand more. "Smiles giggles, place her slender hands on his chest as she struggles to push him away."I've got to rest, you better be a good boy" She walks out of the room, and Keane follows her behind."I'm always a good boy," He said, Smiles couldn't help but laugh."Well, too bad…I don't see that. You always look like a devourer to me" She pushes open their bedroom door and walks in."That's harsh, but coming from you… it sounds sex
It's been a week since Smiles left LA back home, she's getting over her pain with the help of Keane and her babies.She felt, even better after having to talk with Derrick about their mom, both siblings had themselves and families to love.Smiles walk out with a tray of pastries… "Here everyone, we've got some delicious pastries made by your chef cook, Keane Austin!" She said the smile in her voice couldn't be ignored.Keane stands by the side, hands on the waist like a superhero. Well, he isn't a superhero but he is a super dad and husband to his kids and wife."Oh common now, we all know this will be a complete disaster!" Derrick jokes, knowing Keane can never cook.Smiles and Lisa laugh heartily, Derrick's face was one to die for.Before Keane could open his mouth to defend himself, Smiles beat him to it."I bet you will regret your words after tasting this delicious piece of work made by my sweetheart" Smiles brush on Keane's chin, tiptoe and kiss his lips."Don't think I will ge
Derrick stares at Fiona in disbelief. He wasn't expecting her to show up all of a sudden but most of all, he was surprised seeing her all teary with swollen eyes."Mom?" He calls out, standing up from the sofa. Lisa was long-standing, staring at the lady with a frown.She can swear she thought it was Smiles, even though it's been a long time since she last saw her, the look was the same until Derrick called her mom, then, she understands that it wasn't Smiles but rather it was Fiona, his mother. The woman he's been talking about."What's wrong? Is everything ok?" Derrick asked as he reached out to her."Derrick, my son… I'm so sorry" Fiona apologizes as he reaches out to him, and folds his face in her hands."I was so lost with my taste of revenge, I didn't know" She cries.Derrick frowns, not understanding what she's saying."What are you saying mom, what's wrong?" Derrick was worried and concerned, it hurt him to see her cry this pitifully."I did it and I'm sorry, I… I am so bad an
Smiles arrived in New York all tired and weak, luckily, Nate and Kate were not at home. They had insisted on staying behind with grandma Shiley and grandpa Jimmy, that alone was a big relief.Smiles cries herself to her room and slumps on the bed as soon as she sees it. Her silent sob intensifies, and she grabs the pillowcase and pulls it to her chest.This is the time she needs Keane the most, she can't handle everything by herself. It's like holding on to the world's load, unable to keep your balance.As if God answered her prayers, the door pushed open and Keane emerge from behind. He was dressed in his usual navy blue suit, hair combed to the back.As soon as Smiles saw him, She rushed and threw herself into his arms. She couldn't hold on to her cry as it increased.Keane was taken aback by her sudden hug but he didn't push her away, he let her hug him as much as she wanted while he stroked her hair lightly before carrying her to bed."I love you so much, I'm sorry for hurting you
Smiles walk into the mansion, all tired. It's been a week now and she hasn't heard from her mom.Taking the advantage of being in LA, she decided to visit. At least, a simple "hi" and a hug will do.Her eyes darted around the living room, there was no one present. She frowns, even though the house sometimes is all quiet, not to this extent."Mom!" Smiles calls, making her way upstairs. The only place Fiona can be if not in the living room is her room or her studies.She knocked on her bedroom door countless times but there was no response. She pushed open the door but was greeted by an empty room.With no choice, she heads for the studies knowing it's the only place Fiona will be in.She reached out for the doorknob and was about to push it open when she heard someone's voice, it wasn't Fiona's but that of a male.She leans closer, making sure she doesn't make any noise."They are completely bankrupt, but I'm foreseeing them coming back to life, Derrick and Keane have become so close
