Azek's POV I woke up the next morning and didn't know what was going on. I had no idea where I was or what I was doing sleeping on the couch, only then did I remember what happened last night. I had requested to sleep here in the duplex with Mia and the kids, I remember the kiss and I can't help but smile placing my hand on my lips."Why are you smiling to yourself, dad?" I heard Lewis's voice and I was startled, I jumped up and both boys burst into laughter, I ended up laughing at myself as well."What are you both doing up this early this morning? And you scared me, it's not good to scare your father like that." I said and they both laughed at me again, they must be having so much fun doing this to me."Dad it's already eight in the morning, and we are so hungry. We didn't have anything to eat last night, plus did you spend the night here? On the couch like this?" Liam asked me and I rubbed my forehead with my fingers trying to assimilate all that he was saying to me."Yes son, I s
Mia's POV I opened my eyes and it was already morning, I had no idea what was going on or happening. I don't even remember falling asleep, I closed my eyes trying to remember everything that happened last night. My eyes widened with shock and I immediately touched my lips, this had to be a joke of some kind. There's no way I kissed Azek, that must have been a dream. I stood up from the bed horrified, I made my way to the closet and quickly changed into something much more comfortable. "There's no way I kissed that scoundrel, this must be a joke. I remember calling Lizzy in the dream, she's the only one who can tell me what happened. So yes I'm going to call her right away, I said and picked up my phone to call. I paced back and forth the room waiting for the phone to ring and for Lizzy to pick up his call."Hey Lizzy how are you doing? Don't even bother answering that question, so I called you last night, right? What did I tell you happen? Because I'm thinking what happened last ni
Azek's POV I have no idea why she's laughing but then I decided to join her in the laugh. Whatever is making her laugh must be funny I guess so there's no harm in joining her to have some really good laugh. The kids sat there wondering what was wrong with us, I could see the look on their faces. I didn't know what to do at first to stop the laugh, I guess I will just have to wait for her to stop laughing since she started the laugh."What is wrong with you both? Why are you laughing? Mom! Dad!" Liam called out and we immediately stopped laughing, for a moment I was stunned. I'm not used to the kids calling me dad, and to call us both together feels nice."I'm sorry honey, it's just that I didn't think your father here is such a good cook so I couldn't help but laugh out my lungs, or this is hilarious." She said and I faced her. I can't believe she's saying something like that about me to the kids, is she trying to smear my reputation to the kids?"So does that mean you have never coo
Mia's POV I can't tell what the issue here is but I don't know why I'm reacting to his touch which is honestly driving me insane. I'm not supposed to be like this with him, I'm supposed to despise him. But I've been doing the exact opposite of all of that and I don't like it one bit. I wiggled my way out of his embrace and took out some plates without saying anything to him. I know he's watching me because I can feel his gaze piercing through my body and spreading heat all over my body. I heaved a deep sigh and shook the thought off my head, I'm going to have to check my calendar. My period should be around the corner, that must be the reason why I'm being so unnecessarily emotional which is not even a good thing by the way."We should eat now, I will serve the food," I said pausing in between my words. It took a lot of self-will for me to be able to move my legs, I just feel my legs and my entire body numb. Azek walked closer to me and I almost ran out of the kitchen about to drop
Mia's POV I returned to the kitchen and took care of the dishes while Azek followed the kids to the bathroom to bathe them. I watched as they talked about their plans to have the most beautiful bath session ever. Makes me wonder if I still have any sort of relevance as regards the kids, my ringing phone jolted me back to reality and I quickly picked up the call."Are you planning on ignoring me for the rest of your life?" She asked me and I laughed softly, I could use a really good laugh at this point."You are crazy Lilian, you know that will never happen even in a million years," I said and she laughed too. I contemplated telling her about the kiss that took place last night between me and Azek but then I reconsidered that, she's going to make my life a living hell once she gets to find out. It's already enough that Lizzy is going to have to tease me with it. I can't have Lilian doing the same thing, I might as well just fall and die immediately."How are you doing girlfriend? This
Mia's POV "I don't know what it is you think you heard but trust me nothing is going on or happening. That's Azek being Azek, he's just like you, always teasing me in a really bad way so now stop making such a big deal out of it." I said to her but she didn't seem to buy any of the things I had just said."Do I look like I believe any of the things you have just said now? With what I just heard, it seems you are beginning to get cozy with him. You were even drooling over him, and don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm saying. I noticed the way you spaced out my friend, so if you know what's good for you. You will start talking right now." She said and I sighed, I can see there's no way I can lie to her and get away with it."Alright fine, we went to the company together and we got back home late. So he begged to sleep over here, I allowed him and then he kissed me." I said and she whistled, I know for a fact that she's about to say something that's not so nice."You kissed him?
Azek's POV I made my way back to the bathroom and the boys were still there having their bath, I didn't know what to say to Mia the other time. I wouldn't even have the guts to speak to her after hearing the conversation she just had with her friend just now. It hurts me to see that I hurt her that much, I was such a fool blinded by hate and my quest for vengeance. I hurt the wrong person and now she can't even forgive me, I hope I will be able to get her to forgive me. Not only that but also got her to look at me the same way."Daddy, you are back, did you ask mummy about the soap this time?" Lewis was the one that asked me and I was forced to smile. I really can't get enough of my children no matter how much I try, I moved to the mirror side and checked for the soap. I was going to ask Mia which of the soap to use, but the kids just told me now that they are allergic to some things and some of the soap there all belong to their mother which makes me wonder which is theirs."Dad, a
Mia's POV I finished from the kitchen and made my way to the room to see what was going on. I saw the kids all dressed up as soon as I walked into the room."Anyone wants to talk to me about what's going on here? Where's your father and why are you both dressed as though you are going somewhere really important? "Well Mom, Dad said....." Lewis was about to say but Liam pinched stopping from talking. Mia doesn't see what Liam does but she can sense he must have done something, she knows her children so well and can tell when they have done something."What is going on here Liam? Did something happen and where is Liam?" I asked and Liam smiled at me, now I could see that something was going on and they were not willing to tell me the truth."Dad went to the main house for a while, why don't you get dressed instead of standing there and asking questions," Liam said and I frowned, okay this son of mine is becoming a thorn in the flesh. Does he think he's the man of the house or what? We
