9- LOUIS
“Hmm.”
I reached out looking for her without success as her side of the bed was empty.
“Eva?”
I looked at the darkened room with my eyes narrowed in sleep and realized that I was alone, which made me get up to look for my new wife when I saw it wasn’t even three in the morning.
Dammed woman.
After the sex-marathon we had through until midnight, I’d have thought she wouldn’t have the strength to get up for the rest of the night, but apparently, I was wrong.
I rubbed my eyes hard with the palms of my hands as I walked down the hall to the living room and stopped short as soon as I saw her.
There she was, lying across the modular sofa with her laptop resting on her stomach, looking focused on whatever she was doing.
But that wasn't what had stopped me; Sansa was at her side being caressed by my wife's free hand.
I approached without being able to avoid it and I noticed that she tens

"It's okay, Aiden. Sansa’s not going to do anything to you,” Eva explained as she tried to get him off her back.“What's that?” He asked without leaving his place, although following us out of the elevator."That's a dog, and her name is Sansa,” I answered seeing that Milena looked at my pet with curiosity, so I bent down for her to get a better look.At least the girl was curious.“Get her away from that!” Aiden exclaimed taking the baby out of my arms and making her start crying and Sansa barking again thinking they were playing with her.Yes. I recognized my dog's barks.I looked at Eva not knowing what the hell was going on with the boy and shut the dog down with a signal, leaving us only with Milena crying and Aiden breathing hard as he walked back to the elevator without taking his eyes off Sansa.

“What is it, darling?” Eva asked, her eyes inquisitive as we turned to him."Nothing,” he murmured solemn before stretching his arms towards the baby, "I’ll bathe her, that's my job."“Your work?” Eva asked confused. "Aiden, your job is to do well in class and keep your room clean, children are adults’ job, darling."Aiden looked away swallowing hard before lowering his arms."Elisa always made it clear that my job was to take care of my sister,” he muttered uncomfortably."Well, you don't have to take care of anything but yourself, boy,” I replied patting him on the shoulder, trying to take the weight off the issue. "What do you think if we go to the bathroom and you explain how you do it, okay?"He nodded swallowing hard and followed us into the bathroom.As we entered the bathroom t

God... it felt like the numbers on the spreadsheet would never make any sense. How many hours had I been working on the same columns and how many times had they given me different results? How many cups of coffee could my body take before I hit the floor from a caffeine overdose? How many days had it been since I could sleep more than two hours in a row in the same night? Ah, I did have an answer to that question; Five fucking days had passed since I had last slept well. Five days since my life had become totally chaotic when I got two dependent people. I mean, I’d thought the previous weeks had been rough with the whole adoption process and the move and the realization that not only had my life turned 180 degrees the day Elisa died, but I also needed to put on my big girl’s panty and face the fact that I had to pretend that everything was fine for Aiden's peace of mind, since Milena was barely a baby and everything would be more adapt

“What's up, doc?” Alex asked ten minutes later. "His pupils are responding well and the bleeding has stopped,” replied the doctor Alex had called when he’d seen what was happening in the room when he arrived. True to his word, Alex had arrived a few minutes later as he lived one floor above us. The surprise of finding myself next to a very pale Louis and holding a towel to the wound on his head had vanished after a few seconds and then he proceeded to call the doctor who was now carefully evaluating said wound. I was grateful I had reacted to dressing and fixing Louis's underwear before anyone else arrived, although Aiden hadn't had the same luck since he had seen every part of both Louis and me. “So what, doc? Why isn’t him reacting?” Alex asked looking carefully at the unconscious man on the bed. "Because, although the blow was not strong enough

Hmm... something smelled amazing. I took a deep breath and my lungs filled again with the same rich, seductive scent. As I moved a little, my body made contact with another and then I remembered my wife. At some point in the night, we had switched positions and I had ended up with my face buried in her neck and her arms hugging me. I didn’t want to move; I was in paradise. "My secret is buttermilk,” said a voice, breaking my dream moment. “Really? Louis never uses that.” "And chocolate chips. The best pancakes have chocolate chips, otherwise they aren’t pancakes.” “Then I don't know what Louis has fed me these days.” I was going to kill Alex Hardy. What the hell was that bastard doing in my house poisoning Aiden's mind? I started to get up when a sharp pang in my head left me frozen in place, reminding me of what happened the night before. Shit, the boy had tried to kill me with a tennis

So what can I say except you're welcomeFor the islands I pulled from the seaThere's no need to pray, it's okayYou're welcomeHa, I guess it's just my way of being meYou're welcomeYou're welcome. What I least expected when the elevator doors opened, was to find Louis still in his chef's uniform, singing and dancing throughout the room, Sansa following him everywhere and Milena wearing her Hawaiian costume clapping happily with the show my ridiculous husband was giving to her. Hey, it's your day to say, "You're welcome" 'Cause I'm gonna need that boatI'm sailing away, away, you're welcome'Cause Maui can do anything but float. I met the bright gaze of Aiden, dressed in his usual jeans and T-shirt, sitting on the couch next to his little sister, amused by the ridiculousness of the situation. It amused me to see Milena dressed in that way, when yesterday she didn’t even want to see the skirt of her costu

“Did you pack everything?” “Yeah, baby.” “You’re sure?” “Eva...” "Okay, I'll go change Mile and we're off." I sighed without taking my eyes off my wife as she went to the baby's room to take off her pajamas so we could go to the party. We'll talk about that in a moment, but for now, let's talk about the following: I had lied to my wife. And I almost choked when I did. But what could I do? I had panicked when I saw her own panic creep over her features. I don't want your love, baby. Of course I wanted it, I wanted all from her. I really wanted my wife to love me. Because, you know the funniest part? At some point since we met, I had started to fall in love with her. I had fallen in love with those children. I had fallen in love with the family we had become, the family I never had and I never even thought I would have. That's why I would hate when the day t

“What the hell is this?” "Hmm... Pizza?" “Pizza?” I repeated looking with horror at the plate before me, "Explain to me when I said that the dough should be like rubber. What flour did you use?" "Hmm, well...” “What?” "Gluten-free flour,” he murmured. "But, what the fuck?” I snapped, taking the plate out of my sight, "Didn't you take notes yesterday when we went through the fermentation process? I think you signed up to be a gastronomic pro, who knows the correct process to produce the dishes your customers ask for. Do you think I would order this in a Michelin restaurant?” “No, chef, but―” “What is this?” I interrupted him again, detailing more closely what I had ingested. “Vegan cheese, chef...” Chef Mauro next to me made a sound of horror. “What was wrong with the mozzarella at your station?” He said with his accent even more pronounced than before. "I don't like to touch animal produc
