Eye to eye | Book 2 - Trent Alexander Arnold

Chapter 21🤍

The next morning, Trent had to wake Ella up so that she wouldn't be late for work. He did this by peppering her with kisses while he cuddled her. It was only about thirty minutes away but Ella took long in the mornings. She started at nine which meant that she had to leave at 8:30 after her usual hour of getting ready. Trent was impressed at Ellas dedication to her job but he knew how invested she got when she liked something. Now that they both had jobs, it made Ella feel a sense of pride. As soon as she finished uni, she wished she could've gone straight into work but she was pregnant with two babies on the way. She loved being a mother more than words could express and being one meant that she needed to work to be able to give them the best futures. Trent was very rich, however Ella didn't find it fair at all to leave all the working to him.

"Morning beautiful." He spoke, observing her eyes fluttering like butterfly wings. Trent was always in awe of her beauty. How was it possible that she looked beautiful just as she was waking up?

"Morning baby." She responded back, clinging on to him a bit more when he began rubbing her back slowly.

"You have to get up so you're not late for work." He reminded her with love. Ella just wanted to sleep in despite the love she had for her job.

"I just wanna cuddle with you for five more minutes." Ella moved herself upwards on Trent so that she could be even closer to him. He loved how she couldn't get enough of him. The feeling was mutual.

"Just for five minutes." He agreed, holding her with a tighter grip. Tayah wasn't just Tahj's twin, she was Ella's aswell, always needing Trent.

The couple cuddled for more than five minutes, in fact, it reached up to 15 before Trent urged her to get up. When she made her way to the bathroom, she stopped quickly to check on the twins who were sleeping as it was way before their usual waking up time. What Ella found beyond adorable was that Tahj was in Tayah's crib with his blanket. Tayah was sleeping peacefully with her brother along side her. He wasn't bothering her or anything, probably going in to her crib for comfort. They were each other's best friend already. As a mother, this soothed her heart. After this, she finally went to the bathroom so that she could begin her morning routine. She had to be quicker than usual.

"Tahj is sleeping in Tayah crib. They're so cute bless them." Ella told Trent as soon as she reached her room again. He immediately smiled as he heard that. Ella then began getting dressed professionally for work.

"You need me to drive you baby?" Trent asked her. He knew she would be fine but would always offer. She normally just took the bus since she hated driving, and since Trent was using his car most times. On some occasions, she would use it though.

"No it's okay. The babies need to sleep and you need to go back to sleep cos' it's early." Ella let him know. It was his day off, and so there was no need for him to be up this early.

Once she had finished getting ready, she gave Trent a kiss 'goodbye', seeing him on the verge of falling asleep again. Why was he so cute? She then went to go give the babies a kiss aswell before grabbing her bag and leaving. She was ready for what today was going to bring.

When he was awoken again by his toddlers this time, Trent walked over to their room. He hadn't even realised he had fallen asleep after Ella left. Walking in to see his children, he spotted Tahj in Tayah's crib as Ella had said. It melted his heart to see how close they were. It was something that brought him comfort, knowing that they had each other for the rest of their lives. Whether they would've had one baby or not, he would've been glad, but he wouldn't change their little family for the world. His son and daughter were everything to him and it was sweet to see that they were everything to each other as well.

"Dada." Tahj got up on his feet after seeing his father entering their room. He was starting to become a bit of a mama's boy but he was equally a daddy's boy.
