Becca. “Hi Cindy.” I answered gently but even I could hear the stiffness in my tone. And I knew Cindy would misconstrue it. “Still angry at the last time, hmm? You sure can hold a grudge, girl.” She said with hurtful tones and I rolled my eyes to the ceiling. Trust her to take it farther. “Is that why you are calling? To tell me about my grudges and feelings?” I questioned a little bit irritatingly, hurt because she seemed not to have any plans about apologising. “No, Becca. I called you because I missed you and I am hoping we can see.” She retorted a little loudly and I could hear the tone of impatience underneath her words. “You mean after annoying the hell out of me, you finally have the time to talk to me?” I corrected bitchily, forgetting the fact that it was I who refused to speak to her in the first place. “That was because I had been sick, Becca. It was just yesterday that I got discharged from the hospital.” She retorted softly and I felt sure I did not hear correctly.
Becca. Wait! “Soul mates?” I asked with a chuckle, intensely amused that she would see it that way. “Yes girl, only soul mates would share such amazing moments.” The ever romantic Cindy murmured approvingly and I rolled my laughing eyes to the ceiling. “Well, do me a favor, Cindy. Next time, try to share something more fun and cool, okay? Flu is not something I like.” I intoned wryly and she chuckled. “Pure Balderdash, babes. It is all inclusive. In poorer and in riches, in health and in sickness. That is what friendship is all about.” She preached gently and I could hear the seriousness in her voice. Honestly, I am beginning to think Cindy is crazy and weird. But after a few days of not having her to talk to, I finally understood how important she’s to me, to my household. I would not admit to myself until now how much I missed her voice and presence in the last few days. Even though I had the kids, Mary and Christos Fernandez to dote on me and take care of me in the last fe
Becca. Dropping my mobile phone on the table, I threw my head up to laugh hilariously. ‘What a best friend to have!’ I thought with amusement. Remembering her last word, I felt some excitement. Aside from the pleasure of seeing my friend after a long time, I will also be making the twins happy when they see their old aunt Cindy, whom they have not stopped asking of since I got sick. Satisfied with these thoughts, I felt happy. Just as I picked my iPad to see if I could do some work before the closing time, I opened a page and the first word that caught my eyes were the names penned across the graph. But among the names, the one that caught my eyes and attention was the name of the man at the other side of the office. Which automatically brought to mind everything that happened that morning and the chat that followed. A dinner date with Christos Fernandez. Not just a dinner date, but a very private one that promised to be sizzling and wild. How loving is that? Unable to conce
Becca. I stood quietly by, watching and listening. “We miss you so much, Cindy aunt.” This from Erica who could not stop trying to get into her favourite aunt’s lap. “I miss you so much also, honey. And I am sorry for keeping away, I won’t do that again, I promise.” She cried solemnly, obviously realising how much she missed the kids also. “But you were sick, Cindy aunty, so it was not your fault.” My everyday empathic son reminded her softly and I smiled. Obviously, Cindy already explained to them why she had been absent. “Yes, that is true, my Prince Charming, I had been sick, so I could not help it.” Cindy accepted softly, allowing herself to stop feeling some guilt for seemingly abandoning them. “But now, you are back.” Erica reminded softly with a little dance and I joined Cindy to chuckle softly even though they still were not aware of my watchful presence. “Back with more love and goodies for my favourite persons.” She gave a little scream of excitement before bending ov
Becca.And as a true feminist when it comes to some issues, Cindy is the type that will never settle for less or allow you trample on other’s feelings so you can feel good.The last thing she wanted to do was stay in a toxic environment with an arrogant female boss who did not know how to appreciate the efforts of her staff even though they kept doing better and surpassing targets every month but in consideration for others, she kept enduring the woman's bullshit.Though I did not tell her, I must confess that I salute her courage and perseverance. Someone like me would have left such a place a long time ago. A toxic environment is the last place I can work and as a designer who needs extreme calm and peace to be able to work and bring out the best design suitable to a client’s need, I would be useless with such a boss.“That’s how it should be, Babes. You should not give a hoot about her when it is obvious she does not care about you and others' efforts.” I finally consoled her.“Exa
Becca. To say she was shocked was to understate it, judging from the significant way in which she went quiet. “What?” I asked a little bit coldly, aware that my voice was defensive but unable to help it. “Nothing. Just that, the last time I was here, I had the impression that you don’t like your boss.” She replied slowly and I almost cursed aloud. God, please save me from a friend with impeccable memory. “And what makes you think anything has changed now?” I said with a discouraging frown as I put on my red thong and the sexy matching bra. “The fact that I had to force you to give his name? If he is not beginning to matter to you, you would not be reluctant to reveal with whom you are going out, girl.” My friend pointed out and I realised she was right. But I was angered by her perception. “That is not enough to base your conclusion, Cindy.” I rebuked gently. “True. But coupled with the fact that I know you reasonably well and I could feel your excitement from a hundred mile
Becca.“I am so nervous right now I can’t believe it.” It was not only Cindy that was surprised to hear this confession, I was also. I had not planned to speak it out loud.“You know why?” She asked with a distracted air as she worked on my dress.“Why what?” I asked impatiently, unsure of her meaning.“I mean do you know why you are nervous? This is not the first time you are meeting the man or going out with him so I wonder why.” She pointed out casually as she pulled on the zip to open it up. Holding on to her shoulder with one hand, I stepped into the dress.“Well, this is different.” It was only after I said it that I realised what I just confirmed.“So now you are willing to admit the man now means a lot more than he did before?” She glanced up to look me in the eye pointedly.“Well, yea. Maybe.” I said with a shrug, unwilling to admit everything for now.“Hmm. Maybe we are heading somewhere. There is hope.” And that was all she said to it.“Is that the best you could offer?” I
Becca. “Hello Ladies.” A baritone voice greeted calmly and I felt all the humour deserting my body as I swung my gaze to the metallic one watching me across the room. “Hello Mr. Fernandez.” I heard my friend greeting softly somewhere beside me and I felt more than I saw the outstretched hands. “Good evening, Christos.” I finally murmured softly and I saw the flare of passion that he could not hide in his eyes. Unable to tear my eyes away from his mesmerizing gaze, I allowed my heart to glow under his message. “I love the way you say my name yineka mou.” He mouthed silently and I blushed ruthlessly from the impact. Unfortunately, my nosey friend saw the exchange and she smiled before covering a cough with her palm. “Mummy? Are you going out on a date with Uncle Christos?” My daughter called from somewhere on the carpet and I allowed myself to be distracted. Which is a good thing. The man’s gaze was so bold; I might not survive the potency. “Yes darling, I have a date with your

Christos. “What?” They all screamed at the same time including the twins. “Becca didn’t give me a Baby. She—she delivered triplets.” He tacked along softly and it was a while before the meaning of his words penetrated their shocked brains. “A what?” Josh Summer finally murmured, unable to believe his ears. “She gave me a boy and two girls. The most beautiful healthy babies I have ever seen in my life. That’s what my Mate gave me.” He enunciated softly, so that there was no confusion about his meaning and almost at once, everyone moved to sit down weakly. Having thought he was going to deliver unwanted news after that statement of no baby, it was a real shock to hear that not only had she given birth to a healthy baby, but babies. “Triplets, oh my God!” Erica murmured in awe, echoing the thought in everyone’s head and Christos finally allowed himself to show a little of what he was feeling. Though he is still dazed, it’s obvious he’s happy and proud of his mate’s latest accompl
Christos.Just in that moment, they heard movements behind them and they all turned to see the newly married and pregnant Cindy running towards them with her frustrated Mate in pursuit, trying to no avail to stop her from running on the dangerous floor of the hospital and it amused them all to notice that she was barely paying him attention as she almost barged into Josh Summer who was standing almost in her path.“Oops, I am sorry, Dad.” With an embarrassing blush covering her cheeks, she apologised wryly to her best friend’s Dad who sent an amused look towards her protruding belly.“You are not trying to bring that baby to the world yet. Are you, baby girl?” Josh Summer teased with a fond smile at his daughter’s friend who was now a member of his big loving family and Cindy chuckled wryly.“Of course not, Dad. And please, don’t joke like that, it takes little to make Micheal turn green at the edges these days.” She murmured mischievously to the man she now considered to be her fath
Christos.Wondering if it would be considered bad manners to scuffle in the hospital room even though he’s the master of the whole place, the Alpha allowed himself to take a deep breath while his wolf gave the now silent Gabriel an unbelievable look. ‘Really! Is he so stupid he doesn’t fear for his life right now?’ Lightning murmured to himself as he watched his human companion trying to control his breathing.“You want to join my Mate on the hospital bed. Don’t you? I will not mind breaking your arms right now if that’s what you are asking for.” The Alpha promised tightly, almost with relish and Gabriel gave him an askance look.“You mean despite being tense about the birth of the new pups, you will still have energy to scuffle with me?” He then made a tsk tsk sound as if he couldn’t believe it.With slitted eyes that’s almost closed, Christos gave the annoying idiot a considering look and just when he thought the hell with it and was going to throttle the guy anyways, his Beta quic
Becca.“Most proper way possible?” I could pick out the confusion in his voice and I smiled inwardly.‘Poor man! If only he knows what plans I have gat for him.’ I mused wryly to myself with another silent chuckle even as I stood to my knees again on the bed.“Yes. My darling slow Alpha, I mean that I need you and Lightning right now. In there, pounding me hot till I scream for your mercy.” I uttered slowly even as I removed the lapels of my robe to reveal my naked body to his gaze.Even before I revealed my boobs with its newly added weight, I could feel the charged atmosphere as Lightning immediately jumped to attention upon hearing my declaration and when I saw the almost unfocused slanted eyes of my beloved mate, I finally allowed my amusement to show.“You want to stare all day or you want to come have this?” I enticed with a little pat at my well rounded endowed ass and I saw him give a visible shiver.“I would really love to stare all day, my Queen, because damn, you are worth
Christos. I inhaled sharply before looking at her with hooded eyes.“Okay Babes, what do you want us to clarify?”“This thing, this unnecessary burden you are carrying on your shoulders. I admit that you have sexy broad shoulders that seem capable of anything but the last thing you should let them take on is a burden that’s useless.” She intoned almost harshly and not just me, but my wolf also winced along with me.“Useless?” Is that how she sees it? And couldn’t she have phrased that more gently? Why make it seem as if I’m having an unnecessary pity party?“Yes, useless. Don’t get me wrong, I understand your feelings, I sure do. I know it’s possible to feel guilty over the past, because yea, I have been there, done it all but at the end of the day, I sat myself down and I asked myself if it’s worth it. Do I want to keep wallowing in the past, wallowing in guilt or do I want to move forward and be a better version of myself? So I ask you, Christos Fernandez, do you want to continue w
Christos.“Not me. I was paying attention. Lightning is the one with a wandering mind.” I pushed the blame on my wolf without remorse and he gave an angry bellow before peeping out of my eyes to look at our Mate with soft baby eyes, probably hoping to soften her up that way but she was having none of it.“Don’t try to be cute, Lightning. I am a woman that is after answers and I mean to get it.” She warned softly and I felt my wolf releasing a little sigh of disappointment as he sat to listen. ‘Good! At least he can’t continue to think he is the special baby here, her favourite. No way man, if I suffer, he suffers!’ I muttered to myself with relish and I heard a long hiss that showed he knew what I was thinking. But who cares? As long as he isn’t trying to take my place in my woman’s heart, I am good.“Becca darling, you should relax and stop worrying yourself over nothing, okay?” I tried to pacify the heavily pregnant woman that’s still glaring at me so suspiciously, one would think
Christos.Just when I felt a stumble and I was certain I might never get out of this dark void that’s consuming my body and soul, I felt a cool touch on my sensitive skin and I jumped as if scalded. “Christos? What’s going on? Why are you suddenly looking as if you just saw a ghost? And why is your body so hot to touch?” Becca’s tone sounded so faint, it’s as if she was speaking from afar and it was with a great effort I pulled myself back from my own self inflicted abyss to focus my gaze on her.Even at that, her face seemed blurry and I can’t find the words to explain how I felt. “Damn it, Christos, you are getting me worried and you are indirectly transmitting this to the baby, I can feel him in here right now kicking up a ruckus and to be frank, I don’t find it funny.” Her voice suddenly called more urgently as she gripped my bulgy arms for a significant shake.If the tone of her voice had not been enough to pull me out of my misery, then the word ‘baby’ instantly did the magic
Christos.By now, my men and Cindy already joined us with her besotted mate walking closely beside her. I could see the way they kept touching one another slyly and I glanced away from the image it was creating in my head. Turning my head to the other side, I ignored them pointedly.I want no lovey dovey distraction until I sort my pups and can then give my woman my undivided attention. In the privacy of our bedroom, mind you. ‘Hopefully, I can wait to get there before thrusting myself into her welcoming abode.’ I mused wryly to myself and Lightning’s groan gave me a jolt.‘Will you stop it, man? You are creating ideas in my head and that is not fair. Not now, when our mate has something else on her mind at least.’ He rebuked with a childish petulance that got me so amused, I wish I could hoot in laughter.But I curbed the impulse, knowing that that was not the time, not with our parents standing close by, paying attention to every word and gestures.“I am not capping, Ric. I am only
