"Thanks for covering up for me Gabriel, I forgot the meeting was scheduled for this morning," Ronald said to his best friend as they walked side by side out of the glass-walled conference room.
"Alima should have reminded you."
"She did. She told me before leaving the office yesterday but it slipped my mind." Ronald said as he playfully scratched the back of his neck.
Truthfully, Alima, Ronald's assistant, reminded him about the meeting before he left work yesterday and she even sent him a reminder via his email which he saw before he fell asleep.
Ronald remembered he had a meeting. But Damn, he couldn't say No to Raina when she asked him to stay for breakfast. He would never forget every detail of what happened this morning. Breakfast was something he never had during weekdays. But everything seemed perfect this morning. Him having breakfast with Alexa, Adrie, Raina, and Clarice. They looked like one big and happy family. The way Raina said a prayer befo

Not only because of his daughter but also because of Adrie and Raina.A small smile crept to his lips at the thought of Raina. Whenever he was around her, he had this weird feeling in his stomach.

"I think you're stressing yourself, Raina. Gabriel and Jemma will be okay with whatever we have." Ronald who was seated across the kitchen counter said and Raina turned to look at him for a second with a frown on her face and hands on her hip."You're not helping." She said, then went back to what she was doing.It was a Saturday, Gabriel and his wife, Jemma, were coming over so Raina took it upon herself to make lunch and now she was currently baking cupcakes.Ronald told her they could go to a restaurant or order some takeout. But Raina refused because she was in the mood to cook. They had all the ingredients at home and to her, it wasn't proper to invite people over without giving them a home-cooked meal."Anything I can do to help?" He teased.Raina rolled her eyes at him.She had asked him for help earlier but he declined, claiming he would mess up everything so he just sat down and watched her do her thing.The food was ready an

"Thanks for inviting your friends over. I had fun chatting with them." Raina said after which she took a sip of her drink.It sort of turned into a tradition for Raina and Ronald. Every night, after they've tucked the girls to bed, they would sit on the sofa in the living room or go to the balcony where they talk about their day or basically anything that was on their mind.They do that almost every night and It was something they both looked forward to.Right now they chose to stay inside; in the living room, instead of the balcony because it was chilly outside."I'm sure they had fun too." He replied."My mom wants to meet you, Raina," Ronald said which made her almost choke on her drink."Your mom?" she replied in shock."Yeah. I told her about you.""You did?" She asked as she could not help but wonder why he told his mother about her."Alexa told her that she has a new sister so I had no choice but to tell her about

Mexican, American, Italian, African and we bake too." Uncle Rico added."I will introduce you to the Head Chef and she will find a spot for you. You can come over to my office during your lunch break so we will discuss your pay."Raina nodded."Maggie." He called and a light brown-skinned lady looked their way. She was of average height and obviously in her chef uniform."Maggie, this is Raina; she will be joining us and Raina, this is Maggie." Uncle Rico introduced the ladies."Nice to meet you," Raina said.Maggie smiled at her. "You too.""That's all, for now, Raina, I have to return to my office.

Ronald called not long after they had dinner that he would be a little bit late today so Raina tucked the girls to bed alone.As usual, she was sitting in the middle of the girls' bed, her head against the headboard, reading them a bedtime story.Raina turned to her left and saw that Adrie was fast asleep. She turned to her right and saw that Alexa was feeling sleepy as she kept on rubbing the back of her palm against her eyes.A question popped into Raina's head so she thought of asking Alexa about it."Alexa darling" she called."Yes." The little girl answered in her sleepy voice."Why did you introduce Adrie as your sister to everyone?"Everything was silent for a while until Alexa sat up and faced Raina."Are you mad at me for doing that?" The little girl asked."No honey. I'm not mad at you. I'm just curious to know why" Raina said as she stroked the little girl's light brown hair."It's because I love Adrie

The girls were sitting on the stool beside the counter mixing the flour.Ronald smiled as he walked towards them. He kissed the girls on their cheek which made them smile and went ahead to do the same to Raina. But this time, he gave her a quick kiss on her lips which made her blush a little.

Ronald carried his girlfriend in a bridal style into the house. She hid her face in the crook of his neck and held onto him tightly. Even though they were both tipsy, they knew what they wanted.Ronald shut the door behind him with his leg and carried Raina to his bedroom Upstairs. When he got there he placed her on her feet."Are you sure you want this?" He asked her for the fourth time.She nodded, unconsciously biting her lower lip.She didn't know that every gesture of hers was a turn-on for Ronald.He closed the gap between them and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Before he could pull away, She deepened the kiss and he gave her access to explore his mouth. He loved the fact that she was the one in control.Ronald's hand made its way to her back, he reached for her zipper and slowly unzipped her dress.He pulled away from the kiss and pulled her dress over her head. She blushed as she stood before him in nothing but black sexy lin

She added and Adrie nodded.Raina knew her babies had lots of fun with their Grandma. So did her and Ronald. She blushed as soon as she remembered all that they did during the weekend."Is anything the matter Raina? Your cheeks are turning red." Alexa asked."It's nothing, my dear.
