Lover II- ML

262. Slow Night

The front door clicks closed behind Mapi and Kaia and suddenly Alexia is blanketed by silence... and then the far off sounds of Rosa pressing buttons on toys which makes Fabian squeal and laugh very loudly.

Alexia made her way towards the playroom slowly, wanting to prolong Rosa's one on one time with Fabian since she had missed him so much.

She watched from the doorway for a moment, the way Rosa was lying on her stomach with Fabian adorably mimicking her position right next to her, flicking through a squishy interactive book together. 

"Are you just going to stand there watching?" Rosa asks without having to look over.

"It seemed like you were both having such a good time." Alexia chuckles as she enters and closes the door behind her. "I didn't want to ruin that."

Fabian looks up and smiles when he sees his madrina taking a seat on the low sofa. "Ah!" He shrieks, lifting himself onto his hands and knees to excitedly crawl over.

"Oh, I see how it is." Rosa pretends to be offended, but she laughs when Fabian uses Alexia's jeans to pull himself into a standing position and lift his arms to be picked up.

Alexia lifts him up onto her lap, smiling at the way he does a quick wriggle to get closer and rest the side of his head against her chest to suck his thumb.

"Ok, that's the most adorable thing I've ever seen." Rosa says as she takes her phone out of her back pocket and kneels to take a picture of them.

"He's the most adorable thing." Alexia replies as she gently squeezes the arms she has around Fabian. "We need to get him fed, bathed and ready for bed by 9."

Simultaneously, they both look to the colourful wall clock on the back wall that reads 8:16pm. 

"Dinner time then." Rosa nods, closing the book and picking it up off the floor as well as a few building blocks as she stands. "Maybe we can get him down a little earlier and have more alone time together." She smirks over to the blonde.

Alexia laughs and stands up with Fabian still in her arms. "They have cameras in this house, carinyo." She informs her dryly.

"In every room?" Rosa's eyes quickly scan around until they land on a red flashing light on one of the higher shelves in the corner. "Jesus Christ..."

"Every room but the bedrooms and bathrooms." Alexia confirms, more than amused by the embarrassment on her girlfriend's face. "Why? What did you do?" She squints her eyes curiously.

"I might've," Rosa gestures to the open space in the middle of the room. "Danced a little to break the ice with Fabian."

"Oh..." Alexia hangs her head back with a laugh. "Yeah, I'm getting them to send me that recording." She decides as she leaves the room.

Rosa clenches her jaw in embarrassment, then she turns to the camera and points a finger at it. "Delete the last half hour." She demands. "Please?"

Since Alexia had the instructions fresh in her mind, she buckled Fabian in his high chair with a sippy cup of water and watched as the anticipation filled his little body. "You know your dinner is coming, don't you?"

"Oo, oo, oo." Fabian holds his hands up above his head, his eyes glued to Alexia who was walking towards the kitchen in the open planned room.

"Why do you sound like a little monkey?" Rosa asks, suddenly appearing behind Fabian and taking the seat at his side.
