(Anj’s POV)“Explain yourself!”Anya pulled me to their private office, leaving Sky in the visitors’ lounge just outside their office, and closed the door behind her. Dylan was sitting on the swivel chair, giving me a sullen look every time our eyes met.“Shhh!” I hushed her, afraid that the triplets would hear us. “I didn’t have a choice yesterday. I had to ask him, but I didn’t expect he’ll come today.”Anya pulled a face, crossing her arms in her chest. “Are you telling us he’s not the dad?”I turned my back on her before she could see the looks on my face. She knew me very well and knowing whether I was lying or not was one of the things she was an expert at. I made myself busy by making Sky a coffee.“Yet you allowed him to kiss you,” Dylan growled at me.“As if she has a choice,” Anya giggled. “You look ready to pounce at Sky anytime. Let’s just look at the bright side, though. The tough moment of Angela Perry’s life is over, and she could probably just kill the daddy in their l
(Anj’s POV)“Angela? Isn’t Anj some sort of nickname for Angela or something?” He panicked and chuckled nervously as he glanced at me, then focused on the road.There was an edge to my smile, I knew that, but I managed to nod at him, breathing out as I turned my head outside the window.Silence accompanied us in the car until we reached our destination, but as he slowed driving to park the car, he heaved a deep sigh as if taking all the courage he had in his system to say what he really wanted to tell me.I turned my head to face Frank and smiled nervously at him.“Just spill it out,” I said, knowing he must have recognized me. I may have changed a lot, but he had seen me without my allergies on my face, and the chances of realizing it was me were high, not needing clues like a blanket and book.“The triplets?” He asked curiously.“He’s not the father,” I lied, evading his eyes and wondering if he could hear my heartbeat pounding crazily inside me.“Yeah, right. It’s why Sky and the c
(Anj’s POV)I was ready to fly.My beautiful, white, fluffy wings spread widely, and I was beaming with a bright light, only to realize I was on fire. A few more seconds, the hands I was clutching on the strap of my seatbelt would be brushing Sky’s hair, or maybe my fingers would be at the back of his neck, pushing him toward me.As our tongues touched, the tingling sensation crept to my skin, making me imagine I was a bird ready to fly. As his hand trailed the strap of my seat belt, grazing my white blouse, which got wet from the heavy drops of rain, the heat emanating from his hand made me shiver, making me a phoenix on fire. Sky only stopped and smiled when we heard a honk, the black sedan behind us beeped, calling his attention to start the car. He chuckled, fastened his seat belt, and began to drive his BMW forward.My mouth was half-open, still panting from our kiss. If not for the car behind us, who knew what could have happened between us. Probably, I was not just flyi
(Anj’s POV)What was the last number?I was supposed just to plant a kiss, but as my lips touched his again, he opened his mouth, licking my upper lip.“Hey!” I giggled, but he continued to lick my lips like I was ice cream that should be eaten right away because I might melt. I just lost it; I parted my lips, letting him taste me and allowing myself to enjoy the sweetness of the moment. “One,” Sky whispered, his tongue touching mine, and when I playfully bit his lower lip, he moaned as he grabbed the back of my neck to deepen our kiss, sucking my tongue deliciously. It was crazy, and despite the coldness of the weather, we were burning with desire.“One,” I moaned as I nibbled his lower lip playfully, closing my eyes. I knew a little more of this; I would forget I shouldn’t be here kissing Sky, and I should be running away from him, planning about escaping from his path.He laughed softly, kissing me more.“One,” We both said in unison, sharing searing kisses passionately, forgetti
(Anj’s POV)“Or not!” I said right away.He smiled and glanced at me again. “I’m just kidding, Anj. I know you wanted to get home to the girls.”I breathed in relief and smiled at him. “Sorry, I haven’t had it for a long time.” I regretted saying it because Sky stepped on the brake to stop the car. “Sky!” I growled at him. “I was only-”“Red light, Anj. Relax,” He chuckled, pointing at the traffic light. “But I’ve been thinking.”I looked at him nervously. “Thinking of what?”“Thinking of you and how good you smell,” he whispered, his eyebrows knitting as if remembering something. “How familiar your scent is to me,” he looked at me again, smiling sheepishly.“My children gave you my perfume, that’s why,” I said to him, biting my thumb now as I could not relax.He nodded. “Yeah, right,” he uttered in agreement but narrowed his eyes like there was something more. “Where to?”“Turn right,” I peeked outside the window, making sure I was giving him the right direction.“You lived near Heav
(Anj’s POV)Still wrapped in my bath towel, I almost jumped back to the bathroom when I saw Anya, her arms crossed to her chest as she waited for me to step outside the room.“Geez, Anya,” I hissed, hoping to walk past her, but she blocked me, not stepping aside. “Did something happen between you and Sky?” she asked suspiciously, her eyes squinting at me and her lips pursing as she raised her eyebrows.“Nothing!” I glared at her, nudging my head and pointing to my sleeping children. “I already told you, he came by the office, and I didn’t have a ride home. He’s just a good Samaritan offering me a ride in this crazy weather.”“Really,” she smirked. “So, Sky Mars offered you a ride home, and what? You arrived here with swollen lips, bright eyes, and…” she puckered her lips, pointing to the upper slope of my breast. “Kiss mark on that part.”I crossed my arms, wrapping them around my body and hiding the proof of my insanity today. She chuckled when I walked past her in a hurry to get s
(Anj’s POV)“Mommy?” Selene cupped my face.When I opened my eyes, three pairs of worried eyes were staring at me. My lips curved a sweet and gentle smile, seeing my girls.“Mommy, are you okay?” Leyanne placed her palm on my forehead.I stretched my arms and yawned, still tired after yesterday’s event in their school and the hot night with Sky. Thinking of those searing kisses we shared, I breathed out as the heat crept to my body and turned my face apple red.“You must be sick, mommy?” Lyra Helene gasped. “Your face is soooo red.”I could not help myself from laughing at my children as I got up and leaned on the bed’s headrest. I opened my arms wide, welcoming the three in my arms, and embraced them tightly.“Argh! What have you been eating these days?” I groaned and chuckled when Selene came on top of me, resting her head on my chest and wrapping her arms around me. Leyanne snuggled to my right and Lyra Helene to my other side. My two girls stretched their arms, embracing me. The
(Anj’s POV)“Did the world fall on you, Anj?” Anya asked when I came to the dining room.I sat quietly, forcing a smile as I picked up the cup of coffee and watched Dylan sit on the head seat across from me. This has been our usual seating arrangement since I returned to Aunt Rose’s house.“Mommy, look,” Leyanne said excitedly. “Uncle Dylan made us shaped pancakes,” She propped her elbows on the table and picked up the heart-shaped pancake.“Mine is the moon,” Selene said, wanting to tell her that the pancake’s normal shape is a circle. Dylan pressed his lips, suppressing a smile. How he made her believe it was a moon rather than a circle is impressive to me.Lyra Helene only giggled, so I assumed we were thinking the same thing, but I caught a glimpse of the star-shaped pancake she was eating.“Uncle Dylan is trying to impress the girls,” Anya chimed in, picking up her cup and sipping her coffee as she glanced at Dylan.“Mommy, Uncle Dylan is asking what your plan for tomorrow is,” L
