Ronald was the only one left in the building. Even Gabriel, his best friend, had gone home. Well, except for the cleaners and security guards who were cleaning and guarding the building respectively.
He was trying to finish some work concerning a contract with some foreign investors who would be coming over in a few days.
Forty-three minutes later, Ronald decided to call it a day.
He found himself very eager to go home. 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. He knew he was attracted to her but he had no idea if she felt the same way.
Ronald stood up from his chair and started arranging his table and at the same time putting some important documents in his briefcase. He picked up his phone, briefcase, then exited his office, shutting the door behind him.
"Hey, Ronald." A lady's voice cam
"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
"And this is the kitchen." Uncle Rico completed the tour with Raina.The kitchen was very big and was filled with a number of chefs who were busy with various chores."So, we make all types of dishes. 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. Maggie will show you what to do and if you need anything, you know where to find me." Uncle Rico said after which
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
Weeks Later......"I will give the phone to her, hold on a sec," Ronald said as he walked out of his home office in search of Raina.He finally found her in the kitchen where she was baking with the girls, Alexa and Adrie.Raina was in some short shorts and a tank top; Her hair was in a messy bun, she also had an apron on her.Alexa and Adrie were matching with her as they were also in their short shorts and a cute little top with the small apron Raina made for them. 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. She still hasn't gotten used to him kissing her and she still finds herself a little bit shy around him.Raina agreed to be Ronald's girlfriend a few days after he asked her out. Alexa and
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
"So what did you girls do at Grandma's place?" Raina asked Alexa and Adrie as she helped them put on their pajamas. They arrived from Magda's place not long ago."We ate a lot of chocolates." Adrie smiled, knowing Raina would not have allowed them to eat that amount of chocolates."Grandma took us to the park and also to a birthday party," Alexa said."Aunty Elena came to visit us at Grandma's place too." 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. Let's get you, girls, to bed." She said and then monitored them as they climbed their bed. In that process, Ronald walked in.He walked over to the girls and kissed their forehead after which he took a seat on the left edge of the bed with Raina seated on
AT MIDNIGHT"Sweetheart, wake up." Raina heard someone whisper in her ear. It was Ronald."Is anything the matter?" she muttered in a sleepy voice, her eyes still closed."Yes, babe. I just got a call from Gabriel. Jemma is in labor."His statement made Raina sit up immediately."But she isn't due until next week." She said with a yawn."Anyway things like this happen, can we go meet them at the hospital?" She asked."Of course, that was why I woke you up," Ronald said. They got down from the bed and went in search of the nearest clothes they could find.When Ronald and Raina got downstairs, they knocked on Clarice's door and informed her that they were going to the hospital for the arrival of their goddaughter.Raina recognized the hospital. It was the same one she was brought to when Ronald found her unconscious; St Mary's hospital. Ronald parked the car, got down, and went to the other side to open the door for her. H
