1 sip my coffer as I stare into spare. The last week has been a blur, firstly shock and horror that Gabriel found us, and then devaration a
Teas came trun
He came, he met them, and when I purposely pushed to see my committed he was, he left without a fight.
He doesn’t want to be in their lives, and I kume I should be grateful that he’s at least being honest, but it doesn’t make me feel any better.
I’m sad for the lids, it was one thing when he didn’t know they existed, but now that he does. How will Texplain this in them when they are older?
What a fool
These two children are a gift, and how he doesn’t vont den part of their life is beyond me.
I put my bead into my hands. Maybe everything he said about me is true. Maybe I am the world’s most selfish person. He thinks I kept them a serper out of spite. Did 1?
No. I kept it a secret to protect them if he can’t see that, then screw him.
We owe him nothing anyway, and there’s no more wondering what if
At least now I know
Friday night.
I empty the
of sauce into the pasta as 1 stare into space. Lucy is watching television in the living room and Doms is upstairs somewhere.
I’ve had a shitty day, pot abused by an asshole work client whose loan application got declined and it kind of spiraled from there. I came home, had a shower and immediately opened a bottle of wine. There are some benefits to being the only adhili living here, I get to do whatever the bell I want to as long as it doesn’t involve leaving the house.
“Mom, someone’s at the door,” Lucia calls
“Who is it?” I frown, ugh who the hell is coming over at this hour?
“I don’t know,” she calls, uninterested, and returns to watching her show
Ifck my tea towel over my shoulder and walk through the house and open the front door in a rush. Cold dark eyes meet mine. “Gabriel” Oh no.
“Hello” We stare at each other for a beat
“What are ….
I’m here to see my children.” He cuts me off as he walks past me into the house, Stay out of my way
“Stay out of your way? I gasp as I march after him. “That is widen my eyes, about to explode, not happening”
Wearing a navy suit and tie it’s obvious he has come straight from work. He dumps has laptop case onto the floor and looks around as he puts his hands on his hips. “Where are my children?”
Something about him calling my children has children is like waving a red flag in front of me. “Listen.” I pull him by the arm into the kitchen so that they can’t hear us. “You do not get to show up here unarmounced.” I whisper angrily.
“just did.” His cold eyes hold mine, and he steps forward, causing me to step back Tm staying here tonight.”
Something about his hoge body with all its dominance standing over me makes my stupid body react, the air crackles between us and damn it, this hot asshole is infuriating.
“Yeah, well, it’s not happening. You’ll have to get a hotel or something ”
“Everything is booked out.”

“Equality,” he growls. “And god darm, you are going to fucking give it to me. Tam here to say goodbye to my children forever, and

Tll sleep in your bed and you can sleep with the kids. It’s just of night.:
I am not sleeping with the kids, “I scoff
“Then you share a bed with me.” He raises a sarcastic eyebrow.
Amillion depraved thoughts run naked through my mind….
That is out of the question.” Isnap. I stare at him for a beat while I collect my thoughts
Wait, what did he say?
Lou’re here to say goodbye to them? My eyes search his
“It’s for the best.” He tits his chin to the sky in defiance,
Oh my poor babies.
My heart runs into a puddle on the floor.
“Tine,” I whisper, distracted. “You stay in my bed and IL–1 pause, sleep somewhere else.
He stares at me for a heat, and I get the feeling he’s collecting his thoughts as well. “Thank you.” He looks around the kitchen as if searching for the next thing to say. “What time is dinner? Fuck,
FUCK
I’ve made Italian, but not just any Italian.
Bad Italian, really bad Italian
The kind that will turn his stomach. Spaghetti Bolognese complete with pasta sauce that came in a jar and instant pasta, it’s not even good instant pasta, it’s cheap crap 1 hought for ninety–nine cepts.
Oh, fuck my life

He glances at the huge saucepan simmering away and amusement flashes across his face. “There is plenty. I’m sure it will be ju

Listen here, you
“Hi” Lucy comes Around the corner, cutting me off.
Hello there” Gabriel smiles down at her. “Do you remember me? She nods in an over exaggerated way.
Gabriel looks around the house. Where is your brother?”
“He’s upstairs,” Lucy gushes as she swings her arms in glee, ugh does he have this effect out all women, even children?
“Can you go and get him for me, I have something to tell you
Lucy skips off, and my eyes widen in horror. “What do you mean, you have something to tell them both?” “Tim telling them.”
“What now?” I pasji.
“No time like the present.” He points to a dining chair. “Sit.”
I drop into the chair as all the blood drains from my body. “What are you going to say?”
“Whatever I fucking like “he snaps.
Gabriel you cant they’re little children.”
“Relax, I’m not going to tell them that Mom got her pussy out on Dad’s desk, although I’m positive that would make for a more interesting story”
My eyes nearly bulge from their sockets. “Are you fucking serious. Do not dare tell them and disappear, it isn’t fair.”
“Here he is.” Lucy walks into the kitchen, cutting me off again. Dom trailing behind her.
“Hello” Gabriel smiles at both of them. Lucy smiles and Dominic looks him up and down straight faced.
