EPISODE 64
*°°° RIA APARTMENT °°°*
*••••• RIA POV •••••*
“Mr Ian -”
Phoebe and Phoenix screamed when we stepped in.
Phoenix hugged him
“Hey little man” Ian said giving him a high five.
“How are you feeling now?” Phoebe asked
“I’m fine Phoebe”
“Where is your Nanny?” I asked
“She’s in the kitchen preparing dinner”
I already told the kids that Ian would be moving in with us for sometime.
“Welcome Ma’am” Dorris greeted
“How are you Dorris?”
“I’m fine” she smiled
“How are you doing Sir?”
“I’m fine..thanks”
“Are you done cooking?” I asked
“No ma’am”
“Its getting late Dorris..you can leave I will finish up”
“No ma’am I will -”
“Don’t worry I will finish the rest of the cooking”
“Okay Ma’am” she walked back into the kitchen.
“Mommy.. Nanny Dorris packed our bags” Phoenix said soberly
“She said that we are going to stay at Mrs Elise place” Phoebe added
“Yes” I replied
“Why mom?” He said with a sad face
Chad suggested that I move the kids to Mrs Elise place for their safety. He said Frederick might come for them just to get me. But I can’t tell the kids what’s going on. They are too little to understand anything. And I warned Dorris not to let them watch the news.
“I’ll be very busy for the next few days. Mrs Elise and Dorris will take care of you”
“Don’t worry you will move back home very soon” Ian assured them
Dorris came back to the living room.
“Goodbye children” she said
“Bye nanny Dorris” they said
She walked out of the house
“Mom can I go with my video games?” Phoenix asked
“Yes little man” I replied as I motioned towards the kitchen. The food was ready..I just need to dish it.
Ian and the children joined me in the kitchen.
I settled beside Ian and the kids sat together. And sitting around a table laden with food with Ian,Phoebe and Phoenix,It gave me a glimpse of what a family could be..my hands jerked at the thought of having a family with Ian.
“This is good” Phoebe complimented
“Not as good as mom’s cooking” Phoenix countered
“Yeah you are right” she said
“Your mom’s cooking is the Best” Ian added
I felt my cheeks heat up a bit.
“Yes!” They chorused
“Well,keep down the praise” i managed to say
I looked at Ian
“You done?” I asked him
He’d eaten only half of what he had on his plate.
“Done.. And it was good” Ian murmured and looked down into his coffee cup.
“And I think I’m done too” Phoenix said
“Likewise” Phoebe added
“Okay” I stood up
And picked up the dishes
“Let me help -” Ian said
“No don’t worry I can -”
He picked up his dishes and took it to the sink.
“Just show me where the detergent and I’ll get the dishes started” he said with a smile
I looked down at the bandage on his left wrist.
“Phoebe help your brother to shower..I’ll join you very soon”
“Okay mom” they walked out
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to do the dishes” I pointed to his wrist
“So why don’t you just go and take a shower and rest in bed -”
“While you stay out here and do the dishes” He said
I nodded
“Ian I’m sure you tired..go and get ready for bed”
He moved closer and touched my cheeks..just one finger, one light touch. I looked up at him.
“What were we saying?” He raised an eyebrow
I stepped away just enough to break his contact with me.
“I told you to get ready for bed” I said in low voice
“Okay” he smirked and pushed his hands behind his back.
“I’ll just get my bag -” he started to walk away but he stooped to face me.
“Which of the room should I settle in?”
“My room ”
He looked absolutely stricken and my stomach knotted. We are going to share the same room. I don’t want him to be alone. Ian might need my help In the middle of the night.
“Are you sure you want us to sleep in the same room?”
“Yes” I shrugged
“People in relationship share the Same room and bed right?” I asked him
“Yes they do -Okay”
he said
And he was gone.
I had the plates washed and rinsed. I worked to clean up the evidence of meal on the dinning table.
“Mom” Phoebe trotted back into the room.
I turned to him.
“Yes”
I said softly wiping my hands on the towel.
“We’re ready to go to bed” he said
“Okay”
I put the towel on a side rack before following him to their bedroom.
“Get In Your bed” I said to Phoenix before pulling the blanket over his body.
I placed a kiss on his curls.
“Good night Mom” he whispered
I hummed a response and went to Phoebe’s bed and did the same.
“Sweet dreams my princess” I said as I pulled the blanket over her body too and switched on the bed side lamp.
I turned and Ian was there at the door.
I found him watching me with a smile touching his lips.
I smiled back at him.
“Good night” he waved at the kids
“Night Night” they replied before I closed the door
“Sorry I wanted to see if you are done with the dishes”
“I’m done” I said barely covering a yawn
“Do you need anything?”
I asked as we made our way back to bedroom
“No thanks”
He was dressed in a black short and white singlet.
He went straight to the bed and sat on it.
“Won’t you tuck me to bed too?”
He pouted
I giggled at the childish look on his face.
I went to him
“Of course”
He lay on the bed and I pulled the bed cover over his body.
“Goodnight” I whispered
And I was almost leaving when he held my wrist.
“Don’t..don’t do that -” he said
“Don’t do what?”
“Saying good night without a kiss.. A goodnight kiss..like the one you gave to the children”
I turned to him and kissed him quickly on his lips
“Better?”
He grinned sheepishly
“Better” he muttered
“Goodnight Hun” he said
I hummed a response before walking to the bathroom.
I wouldn’t stop smiling as I stood In front of the large mirror in the bathroom.
I wondered about Ian
He was in my bed and we are going to share the same bed tonight and in the next few days!
And then I found myself.. Picturing Ian in my bedroom with just a towel around his waist, his chest and shoulders bare and muscular,his flat stomach and maybe a line of hair from his navel downward…
“Oh! That’s not good”
I informed myself, closing my eyes as if that would block the mental picture.
I opened them again and came out of my clothes. And even in the shower I couldn’t stop thinking about him.
My first time!
My words struck me hard!
A first for so much and it all centered on Ian. Especially the part of falling in love and wanting someone so badly. God knew I’d never done that before. I love Ian and could hardly breathe without thinking of him. And i had imagined us having a family together. And never in my Life had I thought I would wish to have a family with the kind I hated but I wish to have a family with Ian.
A lot of firsts!
