…Xavien POV…
What does a man that is not a boy that is maybe too much of a man do? He waits. He waits for her dad to either come to kill him or give his blessing. There is no way to tell how this one is going to go. And we have not even gotten to the part where we will tell him that Mekayla is pregnant.
So while her dad is off to his study to make a quick phone call, now he says it is for business; well, I think he is about to get that gun of his. But Mekayla seems to feel different about this all. She comes to sit next to me; I swear if her dad sees her this close, he might just have my head.
"Baby, I think dad likes you."
"Do you think so, princess?"
"Yes, because he has not chased you off the property with his gun yet."
"God, thanks, princess, you really know how to make a man feel good."
Just then, we hear her dad coming back, I edge myself away from her, but the more I move, the closer I get to her dad. Now I
…Xavien POV…Well, here I am sitting and staring Mekayla's dad in the face, waiting patiently for him to say yes. But by the look on his face, I am not quite sure how this is going to go. I think the realization sets in that maybe I was too optimistic to think that I will walk away here with her dad's blessing. Yes, I can always just ignore what he thinks, but that is not the type of man that I am. I know this means a lot to Mekayla, so I shall endure anything her dad throws at me.But yes, I should have thought about that before I said it, for the worst is about to come.Her dad gets up from where he is sitting and shows for me to follow him, "Xavien, I want to show you something."Mekayla interrupts and looks at her dad curiously, "Dad?""Don't worry, Mekayla, I am just going to go show Xavien your horses.""Oh, can I come with you?""No, I need to talk to Xavien alone."With that, we disappear out the back door
…Xavien POV…When you strive for happiness, look towards perfection.Perfection is what my eyes behold…Mekayla Winters, soon to be Caruso. And beyond those layers that cover that beautiful bump of her belly is a miracle.A miracle that craves pickles dumped into a nauseating amount of chocolate spread, and let us not forget all the strawberry milk that goes along with that. I am still deciding which is the worse to see, morning sickness or the very unhealthy eating habits. The moment I suggest fruit or even hint towards a vegetable, I am told it is her body, and she will stick whatever she wants to in it. Well, I know what she can, but I am not even suggesting that part at the moment.The woman I love so much is a little baby monster. I am thinking the baby is taken over her brain and that she is no longer thinking straight.What else I have noticed is her total lack of wanting to get out of bed; well, I can put it up to more a
…Mekayla POV…I have Xavien standing here; now, I am unsure if the man is nervous or just being difficult. But now he has just practically called the Doctor stupid. I don't think the Doctor is taking it amusing, yet he will carry on to entertain him."Xavien, please do explain how you have come to that conclusion?""Well," Xavien starts. "As you said, that is our baby. Now then, explain to me how it is that I see two of those ball things, and…"Xavien cannot even finish his sentence; the Doctor looks back and studies the screen, "Oh, shit.""Yes, oh, shit."I watch as Xavien goes dead quiet, the man has gone even whiter than the Doctor's white coat. Then the Doctor speaks again, "It seems that you are having twins.""Now," Xavien says rather urgent, "I am starting to doubt if you are the right Doctor for us. Before I faint, I need you to tell us otherwise."And with that, Xavien pulls a chair closer; he fal
...Meanwhile, at a ranch…He gives himself a once-off over in front of the tall mirror that is hanging on the far sidewall in his oversized closet. His body is carved to perfection. His biceps clench and flex, and his abs tighten with his every movement. His skin is so hot you can melt honey on it.He is powerful and elegant. He is drawn to danger and a determination to conquer.He has been designed to drive any woman beyond seven sensations of pleasure.He slides his tight black briefs down over sculpted legs; he has the perfect manscape that leads to his most prized possession.Anyone that finds herself by his side can count on having the best time of her life.As he gives his tight ass one last glance, he makes his way over to the shower, hot and steamy. And hot and steamy is the blonde that is waiting for him in nothing but her tiny red lace panties on.Her hands work their way around his body, feeling each crevasse, each l
…Mekayla POV…The Caruso boys, well, all I can say is, yum.This hot piece of ass is Brendan; I am starting to wonder if I picked the right Caruso. This boy is some serious competition. Can you imagine another version of Xavien taking over this town? It does sort of explain why Xavien has kept him hiding for years, but truly we all know the real reason, yet this boy is…yeah, I have my own hot cowboy.And yes, it is this hot cowboy that sees me drooling over his brother, he only but slaps me on my hand, "Princess, close your mouth. You are starting to drool.""What? I was looking at the cake that Mr. Sinclair has on the shelf.""Yeah, right, that is carrot cake, and I know that you hate it."I see Catalina smile and winks at me; the woman was thinking the very same thing that I was. Damn, this man is a sin. It kind of hurts the eyes to be staring at two good-looking boys that have nothing but sculpted chests and flexing m
...Xavien POV...I have been through the torture of getting approval from Mekayla's dad and then her mom. I think my crazy brother made the second one even more bearable. Now, as far as the rest of the family goes, I can confidently say that apart from the short time when Tyler wanted to kill me, he and Tina do really approve of me.Now there is only one thing that is bugging me with a great deal of concern, and this evening as we are sitting on the porch watching the sun as it is setting, I feel this is the perfect time to bring up the topic.I know my dear princess is going to think perhaps that I am crazy, but this is something that she shall soon learn is something that means a lot to me.But I need to stop for one moment and take a step back, for, beyond all the craziness that has filled our lives up to now, I need to allow myself to remember what drives me. What makes this all worthwhile is the beauty that is sitting next to me. Should I not have he
...Xavien POV...Mekayla has yet to give me an answer to my question. Even though it is killing me to know, I know that it is best not to push her. She shall, in good time, let me know what it is that she wants to do, and I will respect her decision no matter what it is.So, putting that aside, we have invited Brendan and a plus one for dinner. Now do I regret asking him to bring a plus one with him. The man has brought the very woman that both Mekayla and I do not wish to ever see.Now should we be rude and ask her to leave? It is with this in mind that I pull Brendan to the side."What were you thinking? How can you bring that woman here?"Hey, I bumped into her in town and asked her if she wanted to come.""Ya, I am sure that you bumped into her. You know what she did to Mekayla and me.""Bro, and so did her brother. Are you throwing him out of your house?""You better hope this does not go south because I will beat the shit
...Xavien POV...The world has gone dead still on its axis. Standing behind me is not the woman that I thought was. My worst fear has definitely come true. Not just a few moments, I had Mekayla in my arms; now I have this…woman…having her arms around me."What the fuck, Sammy! What do you think you are doing?"Yet, she remains standing there, not moving the slight bit or say a word. I can safely say that if Mekayla walked in on that, she would be most definitely be killing me. But I really thought it was Mekayla; why would I for one moment think that this bitch will do something like this."Sammy, I want you out of my fucking house."Then she tries to pull me closer to her again. It feels like the room has gone ice cold and that the roof is about to cave in. But yet, I don't think she is done."Xavien, you know how much I care about you.""Yes, we are friends; wait, we were friends.""No, Xavien, you don't understand.""Then
...Xavien POV...Life does not always go as you plan. Your best-laid plans are sometimes going to fail. The question is, how do you deal with failure?Well, life is made up of these defining moments; it is up to you have you let these moments affect you, for they shall shape who you are and what you will become.How do you deal with a marriage that you thought was completely stable, a marriage you thought was heaven-born.You cant.I simply don't.I have never known failure in my life, yet though, I have had my share of heartache. Heartache makes up that defining moment. And my choice is never to love again.Yes, it sounds like some country and western song; hey, I can even throw my boots on and dance to it. The sad what is, when something comes to an end, then it comes to an end.Mekayla was, well, yes, as her name says, Mekayla. Mekayla that comes with sunshine, that brings a new day. She was the light of my life. I will not
...Xavien POV...The day has finally arrived.Today the babies are born.Mekayla is completely petrified, pacing the room as she is trying to get into her hospital gown. She has been going to see this doctor, but to me, it does not seem that there is any approvement. Now, I have asked her and the doctor what is going on, but neither of them wants to tell me. And as for Tina, Mekayla has not told her either.Now she is here working herself up, and believe me; I ain't the one telling a pregnant woman that is about to give birth to calm down. Well, not that she would listen because what I say really does not count, for she does keep on reminding me that we have separated. She does not want to understand my perspective, and I don't know what is wrong with her. At this rate, it is not helping us both.So once she has put on that godawful hospital gown, the nurses come to push her bed through to the operating theatre. Not once does she hold my hand as we move thro
…Mekayla POV…I am losing my husband; in fact, I think that I have already lost him. My insecurities have taken me over. I fear that I am not strong enough, or even a good even wife for him, for I cannot keep myself together. I have taken my failure to trust him about how I feel out on him. How is he supposed to have meant to know that I was going through a hard time dealing with what happened? If I only sat down with him, then he would not have left our home.So here I have Tina, that is just as frustrated at me for not wanting to listen, for refusing to go speak to a doctor that will listen. Have I really gone that mad that I find myself in this room? I have trusted no one to help me; why should I trust someone to help me now? Our precious little babies are to be born in a few weeks, and here I cannot control my emotions. Not the hormonal ones, but the ones that will drive you to insanity.I guess I drove the man away from me that I truly did love. I h
...Xavien POV...I have moved back to the ranch and have been here for two weeks now. I can honestly say that I feel more relaxed and myself again. I have been able to do the things that I enjoy and still run my company at the same timeAs for Mekayla, yes, I miss her a lot. We keep in contact regularly, but that is mainly talking about the babies though. I try at all costs not to say anything else to avoid getting into an argument. Well, not that I am saying that the arguments have stopped, for I do get the angry message and then a call out of the blue.It has been a real challenge having to start a new life again when you thought that you had the perfect one. Every time I look at those divorce papers, I really wonder if we did just moved into things too quickly. Perhaps, if I did not insist on us marrying so soon, things would have been different. Who knows? All that I know is that our marriage has not been working.Tina has been struggling to get Mekayla to th
…Mekayla POV...Things between Xavien and me have not been going well. We are constantly fighting, and it just seems to me that he has lost all interest in the babies and me. His work has become more important to him. He is a completely different man; I honestly do not know who he is anymore. In a way, I think that Xavien and me moved too fast, too soon.I know that I am hormonal and that the pregnancy is taking more out of me than I thought it would. I am not coping; the idea of having to bring up two babies scares me. I don't know if I will even be a good mom if I cannot be a good wife. But then again, Xavien himself is not really trying.Instead of us talking this out, we are just running apart. I feel like I am losing my mind. I am falling into a deep depression. I want to have it all, I want to have two beautiful babies, a handsome husband, and a perfect career, but right now, all I have is the fear of bringing these two into the world.It is not like
. ...Xavien POV...I have moved out into the guest room permanently.Things in the Caruso household have gone from tense to nothing at all. Mekayla and me barely talk to each other, and when we do, we find ourselves in an argument. I have stopped counting the number of stupid things that we fight over. That damn cribs are still standing there; Grant told her to sort her shit out and to stop being so unreasonable. Now when I wanted to agree with him, I found a plate come flying towards my head.Mekayla has gone completely insane, and I mean that in the nicest of ways.She is working herself up to a frenzy every day, which the doctor told her to clearly stop doing for her stress levels are not good for the babies. She is going for thirty-four weeks soon, and she is going on like a complete lunatic.I have found any and every reason to stay at work these days, and of course, I am having an affair with Barbara. Well, if I wanted to have an affair, I wo
..Xavien POV...I guess at some stage in every marriage; the honeymoon phase becomes over. Well, that has no officially happened with Mekayla and me. Now, if I say that we want to kill each other, then that is a slight understatement. We cannot be in the same room for longer than a few minutes before heading out into an argument. Mekayla has become completely unbearable to be around. I do understand the woman is pregnant, but her behavior is completely irrational.This morning I am trying to sneak out of what has been my new room, the guest room, for what is now the third night in a row. I am trying to get out of the house before she sees me to start yet another fight over something that I have not done or, even worse, that I have forgotten about.So after having a shower, which, unfortunately, I cannot do in silence, I quickly get dressed and head downstairs with my laptop bag in hand. The moment I step my last step towards the door, I near jump as I hear her voice c
...Xavien POV...It is a very long and painful drive back to the Winters's mansion. My dear wife is not in a good mood today. She, as of a few minutes ago, decided that she does not like the dress that she is wearing. So guess what?I had to turn around and go home.Now we are finally back on the road to the town, officially extremely late. Yet, she is still not in a better mood. Mekayla is absolutely grumpy. The snacks that I packed for her are completely wrong. The way I cut the pickle is not right and let us not forget that I did not put enough strawberries with the chocolate spread.She is absolutely impossible.I am already annoyed as it is because we are living in the damn city again, and now my wife is driving me insane. Mekayla is in her own world by herself; she only lives for her; I don't know if she sees the babies as real little people or toys that she can dress up. She has been buying the most ridiculous outfits online, I am putting it
