"Sure" they all agree and soon Declan was dragging Martina off while Marcus, Ren and Shane  come join them they started talking about the wedding
Carlos pour another drink and cross his legs as he talk with Horace, Janice and Donavon, Kate try to relax but find it hard to for she was feeling a bit distressed she thought of her daughter not being here to spend the Christmas holidays and to think they weren't living in a different state this was the first time before she wasn't at Thanksgiving and lord knows what else she's going to be away from,
They close the door after the Archies leave and say in the living room,
Kate held out the envelope to Carlos
"What is that?"
"Invitation to your daughter's wedding" Kate said
Carlos hissed and pushed it away "I'll be ashamed of myself if I attend that wedding" he said "were you the one who asked for an invitation?" He ask
"No Declan brought it over"
" I told him not to come near me or my place he can have my daughter he can take her keep her marry her but I won't be presence to see it" Carlos said
Kate look at him, Kate didn't see say anything she just look on it was the only option now,
Martina rub her hand over her face taking a deep breath she walk to the bathroom door  leaning against the frame looking at Declan a sleep she felt as if she can never go to sleep and even after two climaxes her raging hormones didn't cease she let him sleep without waking him when she  got to dose off he woke her and they made love it felt like never before and she just want him close,
"Since you move here I don't have enough space in the morning" Declan complain
Martina grin,
"Who said it's funny?" He ask trying to remain serious but Martina touch his side and got him raging with laughter
"Ok, ok I give up what is it you want me to do?"
She lay on him stretch out herself but a rather uncomfortable feeling kick in she has to sit up on her knees Declan ease up and sit pulled her in his chest and held her to him,
