Chapter 16
1 YEAR LATER
" Siri play Malibu by Miley Cyrus"
Harry started clapping and I smiled at him, then took his hand and we danced together.
🎶 " I always thought I would sink, so I never swam
I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'
And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand
But here I am
Next to you
The sky is more blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you" 🎶I am happy and so are my children. We laugh a lot, the good days outweigh anything that can be thrown at us. Well some days. We moved to Cape Town, I made one risky move and took out a home loan then bought myself a town house and rented it out. The home loan was being paid by the money that comes from the rent. So I basically owned two homes, they were solely mine. Andrew bought me a Range Rover for our 3 year anniversary and 5% shares to his company. My children were happy, Luna was now 12 and God! was she not a loud mouth. I love how she is though, I love her so much and I am always happy to know that I outdid myself when it comes to her. Harry is the light of my life, he is my big boy. I love my children. I think the best gift God ever gave me is motherhood. My father loves that we are near, not more than Luna. Those two are inseparable. They still speak on the phone for hours, Harry would beg for a chance until he gives up. I am not pregnant but I did stick to being a stay at home wife. I love every minute of it. I love taking my children to school, watching Luna's hockey games or swimming gala. I never miss a tennis match, I help with homework and I am involved in things that happens in her school and she loves it when I sign up to help at the events. I am not saying I figured everything out overnight but I stopped taking pills and gave myself the benefit of the doubt. I jog in the mornings, go to the gym and found myself a therapist that I see once a week. Andrew and I were good, we were happy. My friends? They were great too, tonight we are going to Bongi's birthday dinner.
Luna" Ready"
Me" Dance party is over, we are dropping off Harry first then you"
Harry" Yes!!!"
Luna" Okay, can I please get my permission slips signed"
Me" Done, in your bag. Let's go, we taking the cool car today"
Luna" Yeeeesss!!!"
The cool car is Andrew's Bentley, he is in Pretoria so he won't even know. He only returns later.
Me" Song suggestions?"
" Let's listen to Ice T by Tems"
Harry" But mommy we want to dance"
Music is my love language and I know it may be strange but my children know I express myself through music. We bond through music and they know we will dance together and listen to sad songs together.
Me" Hahaha fine"
I played Doja Cat's Woman, then we finally left. Drop off is always easy. Harry sprints out of the car and I follow just to check if he is safe, then he comes and hugs me then goes back inside. Then I take Luna, I walk her to the gate and she hugs me then tells me to not be late and bring her snack when I fetch her. I go to the gym then go back home." You are here"
I said staring at my husband who had a huge smile on his face.
Andrew" Surprise"
Me" Definitely and I appreciate it"
Andrew" It gets better"
" The Walsh group is finally ready and all legal paperwork is filled, your husband doesn't have to travel to Pretoria again"
Me" Okay, now that I love"
Andrew" Come here"
We kissed and I pulled away to stare at him, like this man is my husband.
" What's wrong?"
Me" Nothing, you turn 30 this year"
Andrew" Hahaha that's so random"
Me" Well you married me"
Andrew" Well that's also true"
Me" I am dropping off your little monsters to your mother's house and we will be partying all night"
Andrew" Are we supposed to dress up?"
Me" I will"
Andrew" It's not your party"
Me" Hahahah I feel like you want to make a point, so I'll walk away before you ruin this for me"
Andrew" Let's go out for lunch"
Me" I'll pay, my allowance is in"
We
" Thank you Dzaddy"
Andrew gives me 15k a month, that covers whatever the kids need. Like entertainment, and petrol for whenever we attend Luna's things. My lunch dates and whatever crap I need. Then the house manager does the grocery shopping. Our agreement was him matching my salary before we got married.
Andrew" I need to make a reservation for us, you probably want to change so go ahead while I reserve a table"My Instagram content since being Mrs Walsh? Hay shame. I don't even wanna lie, if I had haters they were hating on me even more. My husband and I walked in hand in hand at Gigi's laughing at something Harry told him and he was sharing the story with me.
Andrew" My wife will have a Veuve Yellow label and I will take a double Jameson, no ice"
We also ordered starters and then we started chatting about plans to go on holiday as a family. Including both our families.
" Drew"
We both looked at the woman with long blonde hair and grey eyes that stared at my husband like they've seen each other naked.
" Cassie"
My husband said and I immediately knew who she was.
Andrew" Hey, Cassandra"
Too late!!!!!! She hugged him! The bitch hugged my husband.
" My wife Zola"
She just looked at me then nodded;
Cassie" Luna's mother"
Me" Sure"
Cassie" Well it was lovely seeing you again, we are at the mining indaba, I'll probably see you there"
Andrew" Okay"
She squeezed his shoulder and left. I knew she was letting it be known and she wanted to to also know.
Me" Don't explain. It will ruin everything we have worked hard for, don't say anything"
