Chapter 70 – Sleeping Next To Me (Anj‘s POV)
“Mommy, why are you in your working clothes?” Lyra Helene asked me when she entered the closet room as I was changing my clothes. I placed Sky‘s shirts and shorts in the hamper before turning to her, but she had already opened the cabinet.
“Why don‘t you have clothes in your room?” she asked, then she turned to Sky when he came inside with my two girls. “Daddy, why doesn‘t mommy have clothes here?”
“Mommy has!” exclaimed Leyanne as she opened one cabinet and found the shopping bags inside. “Mommy has not placed them in the cabinet yet.” My daughter excitedly took the bags out of the cabinet. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Ah... ah!” I panicked. “Kids,” These pieces of stuff are mine or used to be mine, but Sky didn‘t know about it. I looked at Sky worriedly. “I‘m sorry, Sky.” I caught him furrowing his forehead and then shaking his head. “It‘s okay. I‘ve been thinking of what to do with them anyway,” “Here!” Selene picked a lacy, sexy nightdress just because it was pink. “This is your favorite color.” She walked toward me, giving me the sleepwear. Sky could not help smiling at me when I lifted the nightdress. “Hot!” He mouthed, biting his lower lip.
Lyra Helene gasped. “Mommy, your phone.” I saw Sky opening and closing his mouth, but she had already given me the cell phone. Wonderful and painful memories flooded when I saw my very first cellphone, but it got broken when he threw it on the wall. My eyebrows raised. “Oh!” I exclaimed. “You fixed it.”
His eyebrows knitted. “How did you know?”
“Mommy fixed phones for a living,” Leyanne answered, her head still on the paper bags as if looking for goodies.
“You fixed phones? What are you a technician?” Sky laughed at me. “No. Mr. Jimmy, our neighbor, is the technician. She taught mommy how to fix phones; sometimes he pays her money,” Leyanne explained. “She‘s a mommy of all trade.”
Sky leaned on the wall, crossing his arms to his chest as he looked at my daughters with interest.
“You mean Jack of all trade?” He smirked, but his eyebrows raised when they shook their heads.
“Mommy of all trade. Mommy does everything to earn money,” Lyra Helene gasped, pulling lacy G–string underwear from the shopping bag. “What is this?”
Sky burst into laughter, raising his hand as he massaged his forehead. “Give that to mommy. I‘d love to see her in that.”
Twitching her lips as her widened eyes looked at the underwear, my stunned daughter gave it to me.
“Girls, put it back inside. Mommy just got what she needs,” Sky said amusingly and ignored me, sneering and hissing angrily at him. “What else did mommy do to earn money?” He asked, watching her daughters place the shopping bags inside the cabinet.
“Why are you so interested in knowing, Sky,” I said, looking at the nightwear and underwear, in my hand. “Stop prying in our private life.” He sighed. “Fine, but let‘s make a deal. You wear that, and you won‘t hear me asking about you again.”
“In your dreams!” I growled at him.
“But we chose that for you, Mommy,” Leyanne quivered her lips, saying it sadly that Sky shrugged and pressed his lips to stop himself from laughing. Sky clucked his tongue. “I‘ll be in the study room, and you girls, go now to your room and sleep. Let‘s leave Mommy to decide whether she will sleep in her office clothes or the clothes you pick for her.” “I‘ll follow you in your room, girls,” I uttered sadly, sighing as I waited for them to leave. When I was finally alone, I stared at the cellphone and returned it to the paper
bag where my daughter had found it. Not wanting to disappoint my daughters, I changed to the sexy nightdress Selene chose for me, then pulled a robe from his closet and put it on. The girls were still playing in their own beds when I peeked at them in the next room.
My feet dragged me to the kitchen, and as I made coffee for myself, I decided to make one for Sky and brought it to him in the study room.
“Ahhh!” He moaned at the smell of coffee when I came in. “It‘s like you’re saying, we need to talk,” he smirked as he took the cup from me.
I nodded. “Later, when the kids are sleeping,” I said, turning my back on him but not leaving the room. I took one motivational book from the shelf and walked to the couch, bringing my cup of coffee to read.
Although my eyes were fixed on the book I was reading, I could not concentrate, knowing Sky was just within my reach. I could hear him tapping from the keyboard or calling Frank and Elenita as he checked on Olivia and his father.
I rose to my feet, returned the book to the shelf, took the empty coffee from his table, and walked back to the kitchen to wash them. I was drying the cups when arms behind me crawled to my waist, enveloping my body. “What are you doing, Sky? I told you to behave,” I said, but my heart was pounding erratically, hurting my chest.
“I‘m behaving,” He whispered as he kissed my nape.
I wriggled my body, escaping from him. “I‘m checking the kids.” I walked faster as if I was running away from him. I knew he was following me, but when we reached the girls‘ bedroom, I laughed at what I saw.
Chapter 70 – Sleeping Next To Me
“Did I just waste money for beds?” He asked as he walked beside me, entering the room and finding two empty beds.
Lyra Helene and Leyanne were on Selene‘s bed. Leyanne opened her eyes. “Mommy, you‘re home,” she said in her very sleepy voice. She must have thought I just came home.
“Yes, baby,” I said, smiling, wanting to laugh at my exhausted children after the swimming and all the excitement they had for today. Breathing hard, Leyanne shook her two sisters‘ arms. “Mommy’s home; let‘s go.” “Where are they going?” Sky asked, watching Leyanne climb down the bed, her eyes still closed as she tugged Lyra Helene. She groaned but opened her eyes, following her sister. “Sleeping next to me,” I answered, scooping Selene from the bed and carrying her in my arms. “But –“Sky‘s face flooded with disappointment as he followed me. “You don‘t expect my children to sleep in different beds, Sky. They‘ve been sleeping together since they were in my womb.” I explained, wanting to laugh at him as I put Selene on the bed.” Sleep wherever you want,” I chuckled softly, laying my back on the soft mattress and embracing Selene. “I harass Frank to set that room for a short time,” he complained, sitting beside me. I chuckled, rolling to my other side, facing sky. “You can‘t just change something in one night, Sky.”
He twitched his lips. “I know,” he said, lying down beside me. “But tell me, Anj. How deep do the kids sleep?” I raised my eyebrows, not understanding him. “What do you mean by how deep?” “I did all the tricks I could think of to have another night with you, Anj. I don‘t care about the money, but I‘m not wasting this moment,” He whispered, sliding his hand inside my robe.
