I didn’t want Leah to get eaten by Damian, so I braved myself and struggled against Rai's hold to turn my head around to look at Damian and Leah.
When my gaze landed on them, I saw that Damian had his mouth over Leah's body."Nooo!! Don't eat Leah!!" I screamed and quickly snatched Leah away from Damian.The moment I snatched Leah away, both Damian and Rai burst out laughing again.I then realized that they were just teasing me.I went to Damian while holding Leah in one hand and karate-chopped his shoulder with my other hand."Bad Damian," I sobbed.I turned to Rai and did the same thing to him.“Bad Rai,” I Karate-chopped his shoulder too.They were shocked to see me crying and began fussing around, coaxing me to stop crying.“Both of you are cruel,” I sobbed again.“Princess, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry,” Rai said.“Kat, so sorry for teasing you,” Damian said at the same time.“I don’t want Leah to get eaten,” I sobbed.“We are so sorry, Princess.” Rai apologized again“Please don’t cry, Kat. I will never eat Leah,” Damian coaxed me.They kept coaxing me until I stopped crying.“You won’t eat Leat, will you, Damian?” I asked with a sniffle.“I’m even scared to hold her; how can I eat her?” Damian asked.“Please don’t eat Leah. If you want to eat Leah, then you have to eat me first,” I tried to sound brave, but inside I was scared.“I’ll hit Damian if he wants to eat Leah,” Rai assured me.I nodded.“Feeling better, Princess?” Rai asked after some moments passed, and I began to calm down.“Yeah..” I told him as I buried my face in his chest.“Don’t eat Leah!” I turned to Damian and warned him sternly.“Cross my heart and hope to die,” he crossed his fingers over his heart.“Okay, I believe you,” at last, I told him.***
One afternoon, I let Leah walk with me from the bedroom. Suddenly she ran toward the stairs and fell one stair.
“Leah!” I shouted, running toward her, trying to get to her before she rolled down the whole stairs.
I could see Damian running so fast from the living room to catch her, followed by Rai. Damian picked her up and held her in his arm, stroking her and saying, “It’s okay, Leah. You are okay.”
I quickly moved to Damian’s side. “Do you think she’s okay, Damian?”
“I think so. She just fell one stair and doesn’t look like she’s in pain.” Damian said as he kept his hold on Leah and stroked her.
That was when I realized that Damian was not afraid of Leah anymore.
“Damian, you are holding her!” I laughed and clapped my hands.
“Ahhh.. She’s just too cute to be ignored.” He said sheepishly. I grinned at him.
"We should give her water," Rai said as he made his way to the kitchen.
Damian brought Leah to the living room, and Rai sat at the same time. Damian kept stroking Leah while Rai tried to make Leah drink.
I sat down at the piano to see them. Seeing them interact with Leah made me smile. They loved Leah so much that they couldn’t keep their hands off her. Rai would take Leah from Damian and hold her high. Damian would then take Leah off Rai to stroke her; then Rai would take Leah off Damian, and so on until Leah slept. Damian held her against his left chest, stroking her like he was holding a sleeping baby. With Damian’s body so big, Leah looked even smaller being held by Damian. The sight was too cute. They would make great dads, I thought to myself, smiling.
“Hey, guys. Do you love kids?” I asked them.
“Of course.” They both said at the same time while turning their heads toward me.
“All our nephews love Damian. He always plays balls and everything with them.” Rai said, grinning.
“And all our nieces love Rai. He spoiled them. I think they think Rai is a prince charming. You have many competitions, Kat.” Damian laughed.
“Why do you ask, Kat?” Damian asked me.
I just shook my head and smiled.
Our life felt even more perfect after we had Leah. I would be the one playing with Leah, chasing her around the house, rolling balls around for her to catch. Rai was the one who trained Leah, and he would spoil Leah, buying her snacks and clothes. He was the one showering Leah with affection. He even talked to Leah in a baby voice. Damian would be the one holding and stroking Leah till she fell asleep. Both of them didn’t even mind cleaning Leah’s poo and pee.
Leah slept with Damian. He actually wanted Leah to sleep with him on his bed but was scared Leah would fall off the bed, or he would squash her. So, he bought her the best, most comfortable bed he could find for Leah and put it next to his bed. When he woke up, he would pick Leah up and cuddle her.
Seeing them love Leah that much and from our conversations about how little boys loved Damian and how little girls loved Rai made me think how great it would be to have a boy with Damian and a girl with Rai.
Huh?! What was I thinking about wanting to have kids with each of them? God, what is happening to me? First, I thought of Damian as mine, and now I want to have kids with both of them! What kind of woman have I become?
I looked at them again. My thought must have been affected by the sight of them with Leah.
I really loved looking at them with Leah, though seeing them that closed to Leah made me jealous since I didn’t get much attention anymore. And I told them about it.
“You guys love Leah more than you love me.” I pouted as I sat in between them.
“Are you jealous of Leah, Kat?” Damian laughed at my words.
“Well..” I let my words trail off.
“I still love you more than I love Leah, Princess,” Rai said as he kissed me, but his eyes twinkled. I knew that he was amused at my jealousy.
“You guys gave so much attention to Leah. You didn’t even hold me or kiss me much anymore. You spent more time with Leah than with me. You neglected me.” I pouted but blushed while saying that. I realized that my words were silly, but I did feel it. I felt neglected.
“Come here, Kat. Let me show you how much I love you.” Damian pulled me close and whispered seductively in my ear. I blushed and punched him before facing Rai and burying my face in his chest.
My heart was pounding when I heard Damian say those words. I knew he was just joking, but it felt real. If not for him smirking, I’d have thought that he was serious, and for a moment, I wanted him to show me how much he loved me. I wanted to know how it felt to be loved by Damian. God, what was happening to my brain?
They both just laughed at me. Damian pulled me away from Rai to kiss my forehead; then Rai pulled me to him to kiss my lips. Since then, they gave much attention to me again. Life indeed was perfect.
The next day, Rai was busy. He was always on his phone and told me he would not be home till the afternoon to attend to some businesses. He asked me to go with him, but I preferred to stay at home with Leah. He understood. He just smiled and kissed me before going away.I spent my time with Damian and Leah, and I could say that it was one of the best times of my life. Damian and Leah were inseparable.“Damian, we are like a family. You, the dad. Me, the mom, and Leah is our child.” I told him as I laughed.He laughed and stroked Leah, who was sleeping on his lap.“You know what, Damian. It would be nice to have a child with you. I can imagine you running around the front yard with our little boy, laughing as you catch him. You’ll be a great dad.” I said without thinking, smiling and looking at a distance, imagining the scene.Damian just raised his e
Another morning not long after the breakfast scene, I woke up and couldn’t find both of them in the house. I heard their voices from the driveway, so I placed Leah in the pen, prepared her food and water, put them in the pen for her, and went out to see them. The sight I saw froze me. Yes, I know I kept freezing at the sight of them together; that just showed how beautiful they were together. While looking at them together in their formal attire was a sight of perfection, this sight was another form of perfection. They were washing one of Damian’s cars and were naked from their waists up. I took my time looking at their beautiful bodies. Both of them had muscles, but since Rai was leaner, he couldn’t compare to Damian. This was my first time looking at Damian without his shirt on. I noticed his naked body while he was sleeping, but I didn’t really look at it, so this was my first time. He was really muscular but not bulky. Just enough muscles for his beautiful body. Broad shoulders
The three of us spent the next two months blissfully happy. I was relieved that nothing had changed between the three of us. And I tried hard not to think about what happened between Damian and me. But that was until Rai needed to go back to the US.“Can you not go back, Rai?” I asked him the night before his departure.“I can’t, Princess. I need to take care of some businesses there.” He pulled me close to him.“But I’ll miss you.” I sighed in his embrace.“I know, Princess. I’ll miss you too.” He caressed my cheek.“Damian’s still going to be here, though; you can hang out with him. And with Leah too.” He suggested.“It won’t be the same, Rai, and you know it,” I said softly.“I know, Princess. I’ll come back to you as soon
One night I had the idea of sending Rai a voice note of me singing. I decided to sing the song ‘Right Here Waiting’ by Richard Marx. First, I needed to ask Damian if he could play the piano. I went down and found him in front of the tv, as usual. I wondered why he didn’t watch the tv in his room, but I had a more important thing to think about, so I brushed that thought away. “Damian, can you also play the piano?” I asked him, my body settling beside him as he circled his arm around me. “Why, Baby girl?” He asked as he caressed my hair. “I want to sing for Rai, and I need you to play the piano.. if you can.” I blushed because I knew I couldn’t sing, and he might laugh at me. “Hmm.. Okay. Which song?” He asked me. Thankfully, he didn’t laugh. “It’s this one.” I let him hear the song. “I know that song. Come.” He pulled me to the grand piano. As he sat down, he extended his hand, but I preferred to stand when I sang
Another night while I was playing with Leah in my room, I suddenly broke a nail. I had very long fingernails, and as I was reaching for Leah, I bent my pinky, and my nail broke. It was so painful that I cried. I checked it out and saw that it was broken halfway, and the break was deep. I knew I had to pull the rest of my nail to detach it from my finger. With my other shaking fingers, I pulled the rest of the nail off my pinky. I could see that some skin was pulled off too. It hurt even more, and I cried more. It was pretty bloodied. I quickly picked Leah with my other hand and went downstairs to Damian. Damian was in the dining room. He was sitting with paperwork in front of him. He looked up when he realized I was approaching. Taking one look at my crying face, he came to me. “Kat, Baby girl. What happened? Why are you crying?” He asked me quickly as he came to me. I just showed him my pinky. Blood was dripping from
But then came the day when I did something unthinkable. It was Damian’s birthday. I asked if he was planning to have a party. He said no, he’d rather spend time with me. I bought him a small birthday cake, and we celebrated his birthday at his place, joking around, being romantic, and drinking.Once, I asked him why he called me ‘Baby girl’.“Because you are cute and small, just like a baby girl.” He said, his eyes twinkling.“You know that I’m way older than you, right?” I grumbled, but in my heart, I loved his term of endearment for me. It was cute. He made me feel younger.“You don’t look like you are that much older than me, and you are really, really tiny, you know that, right?” He asked me back, smiling boyishly.“Only because you are a giant.” I rolled my eyes at him. It was true. I had never seen someone as tall and as big as him. I could say that he was near twice my size.He laughed at my reply.
My question was followed by a lengthy silence. “Damian, do you love me?” I repeated my question, thinking that he didn’t hear it. “Of course, I love you, Baby girl.” I could hear him reply this time as his lips landed at the top of my head. “Hmm.. I love you too, Damian. Just as much as I love Rai.. maybe even more,” I said while closing my eyes. His hand stopped stroking my hair. “Kat, Baby girl. Do you know what you are saying? How drunk are you right now?” He asked me. “A bit. But even if I am a lot drunk, my friends told me that people usually tell the truth when they are drunk. So yeah, I love you, Damian. I do.” I smiled slowly and rearranged myself, so I was straddling his lap, my body facing him. I started to nibble his ears, his jaw, caressing every part of his body when he suddenly stopped me. “Baby girl, you are drunk. You will regret this in the morning.” He grabbed my hands to stop me from touching him. “No, Damian. Please love me. Tonight.. Just tonight..” I grou
The following day, I had a hangover. I couldn't remember much of what had transpired the night before. I couldn’t even remember how or what time I got into bed. I deduced that Damian must be the one carrying me to bed since there was no one else with us last night.I remembered talking about Damian’s ex and dreaming of making love to Rai. At least there was that, something good from last night, I thought as I walked down the stairs toward the kitchen.“Gosh, what did I drink last night?” I mumbled as I saw Damian sitting on the sofa.“Vodka,” Damian said, eyeing me with a question in his eyes.“No wonder.” I groaned. Only Vodka could make me drunk. I wasn't a lightweight when it came to drinking. I could drink a few shots of liquor in one go and not get drunk. I had never been drunk all my life, except if I drank Vodka. Vodka had that effect on me.
