" Sure then, shall we? " Asked Smiles leading the way out of her office.Derrick chuckles all of a sudden, Smiles turns to him with a questioning gaze."what's funny? " Asked Smiles, head almost tilting to the side."Nothing!" Derrick said but Smiles wasn't fully convinced. The look on his face says it all."It can't be nothing, common, tell me" Smiles urges, but Derrick was in no way giving in." If you keep on saying nothing like that, I promise to throw you to hell and skin you alive" She warns, tone bossy and firm.This got Derrick laughing," and there you go, the bossy female CEO aura" he said laughing." Remember when you were working for Keane? " He asked and Smiles nodded with a frown, not knowing where he is heading to."you were an obedient naive little worker, with so much to run and stress for but look at you now, all big and bold and mature and bossy" Derrick laugh out loud, and halt on his steps."You are no longer my adorable little sister who had always enjoyed gettin
"Nate!" Kate calls entering their room.Nate was sitting on the bed, staring at the wall. Still angry."Nate, I'm sorry" Kate apologize, taking a few strides toward him. Nate was not responding, he wasn't even looking at her and it hurts."I'm sorry Nate, I didn't mean to hurt you" Kate pressed on, hoping her brother will respond but he didn't regardless of how much she tried."I promise I won't do it again, I will never cheat again," Kate said, she was already crying.She couldn't bare her brother staying mad at her, it was hurting her."Why did you do it?" Nate spoke up after a long try."I wanted to be the first to hug mama, I didn't mean to I swear " Kate explains."You should have told me, you know I would've let you win" Nate turns to her.The apologetic and innocent look on her face was enough to soften Nate's heart."You are my sister Kate, my baby sister. It's my right to protect you and make sure you don't lack anything. I would have gladly lost to you" Nate said as though he
"I should be more careful next time" Fiona murmurs entering the mansion.Smiles and Derrick were still sitting on the sofa, chattering about their life and everything."Mom, your back, come over here" Smiles call out, happy to see her mom after a long day.Fiona frowned but didn't ask, she wonders why Smiles seem all happy today.The biggest she's ever done was welcome her with a hug and serve her a nice meal she's prepared. It was quite strange to hear her call out to her. It is strange, in a good way."What's up? You seem so happy today… " Fiona's words got stuck in her mouth when she spotted a certain someone, sitting on the sofa.His amber blue eyes were enough to send her teary up, those eyes that stare back at her begging her not to leave."D-derrick?" She stutters, blinking away her tears.Derrick was more than surprised to see his mom, "was this someone Smile has been wanting him to meet?" He thought unable to infer."You are for real?" He asked, standing up from his seat.Fio
"I said please!" Smiles didn't know why he looked so carefree and even wanted to leave her standing. Is he that cold?"Not enough," Keane said but didn't stop, he entered his room.Smiles fumes in anger, " what do you fucking mean by not enough? I owe you nothing to be locked up in here" she yells stumping into the room he just entered."Talking about that, you owe me a lot. More than you can ever imagine" Keane pulls away his towel, not minding she was standing before her.Smiles stood frozen to her spot, unable to look away. He looks so sexy, like a sex god.A smile forms on Keane's lips, he knows her better than she knows herself."You were saying?"He asked, he turned to her without a care in the world, his little brother was hard but he didn't mind."You bastard!" Smiles yell, forcefully look away. Her stomach bubbles in excitement and anger. "You think I will pounce on you like a wild cat after seeing you naked? Fail plan" she snorts."Don't forget Mrs Winston that you are in my
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
