Always & Forever

Chapter 66, "Homemade Burgers"

Jayda POV

It's been 3 days since I found out that the boys were going to be staying here for a little while. This could be fun. We were all in the living room when the kids came running down.

"Mommy we're hungry." Hannah said.

The boys haven't really had the chance to see my kids since they've been working pretty much non stop and then the kids have been at school.

"What would you like to eat?" I asked.

"I don't know." she shrugged, making me laugh.

"You must be Hannah." Corbyn smiled.

"I am. What's your name?" she smiled back.

"My name is Corbyn. Nice to meet you." he said, kissing her hand.

"I'm Hendrix. Are you smart?"

"Very much so smart. You like robots?"

"I love robots."

"Maybe we can build one." he smirked.

"Ouuu that would be cool."

Both the kids ran back upstairs not even telling me what they wanted to eat.

"You have some lovely kids Jayda." Corbyn said, smiling at me.

"Thank you. They seem to really like you."

"It's hard for people not to."

Oh wow. Calm Jayda, calm. "So, what do you guys want to eat tonight?" I asked.

"I want homemade burgers." Liam said.

"Homemade burgers it is." I said.

"Can I help? I miss doing normal things." Corbyn asked.

"Sure thing." I said, going to check on Jade first.

Corbyn followed behind me, but I didn't mind. I picked her up and rocked her back and forth.

"Can I hold her?" he asked.

"Yeah. Do you mind holding her in the kitchen?"

"Course not." he said. "She's really pretty. Just like you."

I could feel my cheeks beginning to get hot. "Thank you." I blushed, not showing him my face.

We walked to the kitchen and he rocked her back and forth. She was laughing and reaching her hands up to his face.

"You're really good with kids." I said, getting out my pan.

"Thanks. She's honestly the most perfect baby girl." he cooed.

"Thank you. If you want, you can sit her in her high chair."

He sat her down after a couple more minutes and came by my side. He was helping me make the patties and seasoning them.

"So....you and Harry.." he started.

"What about us?" I asked.

"You seem pretty distant for you to be his wife, and I noticed you don't wear your wedding ring. I'm not trying to pry or anything, but I'm just curious."

For some reason, I didn't actually mind that he's asking. I find it cute for some reason. "We're....separated. I actually asked us to separate a year ago." I answered.

"How come?"

"Curious aren't we?" I smiled.

"You don't have to explain if you don't want."
