"Where is that bitch?" I moved in my sleep, and Erick's hold on my body became firm. He didn't let me get out of his arms.
“Isabella, lower your voice. She is resting.” I heard her mother scolding her. I know she will drag her away. I inhaled deeply before closing my eyes and drifting back into sleep. I will talk to her once I wake up. When I woke up from my two-hour nap, I felt completely rejuvenated. I stretched my arms and sat up. When I noticed that Erick was not there, I saw him standing on the balcony, chatting on his cell phone. He has cancelled all his meetings, but still, he had to attend the calls from work. He looked back at me as though he could feel my eyes. When he smiled at me, I returned the smile. I gave him a nod when he used his hands to indicate that I should wait five minutes. In the meantime, I chose to wash my face. I came out of the restroom to find him waiting for me.
He cupped my face and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
“Hmm, very well,” I said with a grin on my face. He pecked my lips.
“Let's go down. Lunch is ready, and everyone is waiting for you,” he told me and once again pecked my lips. I smiled when his lips touched mine.
“Hmm, let's go,” I whispered on his lips. He kissed my forehead before pulling me out of the room with him. I love the way he kisses me at every chance he gets. I love how he steals kisses from me as if it were his way to keep himself sane. We went down, and I was met with a fuming Isabella. She threw daggers in my way as soon as she noticed me. I know she is super mad at me. She looked away when I smiled in her way. I walked to her and then hugged her from the side, but she refused to return my hug.
“Isabella,” Erick tried to talk to her. She is like a sister to him. She even refused to talk to him.
“Isabella, don't be rude,” her mother scolded her again, but she still refused to look at me.
“Mom, tell this bitch I don't want to talk to her. I'm only here for my niece,” Isabella said in a firm tone, refusing to even look in my way.
“Nieces,” I corrected her with a big smile on my face, still hugging her. She gasped loudly and then looked at me with her wide grey eyes. She is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish my babies would get this family's eyes. Erick's eyes are also, to some extent, grey, but they have more blue in them.
“What really!” She exclaimed while covering her mouth in disbelief and excitement at the same time. I nodded my head, and the next thing I knew, she engulfed me in a tight hug. Grandma chuckled, looking at her actions.
“I'm still mad at you,” she said while hugging me tightly. I just hummed while hugging her back.
“I'm so mad at you both,” she said after breaking the hug.
“You both got married without telling me. I was not the first one to know that you were expecting twins, she said with that mad look still on her face.
“We got to know about it today itself, and the first thing we did after walking out of the hospital was come here,” Erick said while looking at her. She narrowed her eyes.
“I'm letting you off the hook only this time because you are going to give me two babies,” she said with a pout on her lips.
“But I'm so happy for both of you,” she said while hugging me excitedly, and then she went to Erick and hugged him. He pressed a kiss on their head while hugging her with the same affection.
“Now let's have lunch before the food gets cold,” Grandma said, and then we all settled in our seats. I was eating spaghetti with meatballs cooked by her after so long, and I loved every bit of it. The meatball melted in my mouth. I miss her cooking. I used to eat my lunch every day here when I was a kid. She even used to cook special dishes if I demanded them from her.
“Grace, take some more,” Isabella's mother said and was about to put more spaghetti on my plate, but I stopped her.
“No, I'm full. I can't eat anymore.” I already had two servings of it. My stomach was full, and I think I couldn't even stand now.
“You have to make a habit of eating more. Now you are eating for three people. I want all of you nourished properly,” Grandma said while looking at us. I nodded my head, but I was full, and I looked at Erick. He was already looking at me, knowing my worries. He knows I don't want to end up picking and feeling the pain in my stomach.
“Grandma, since it is an early stage, she gets easily sick if she eats more,” Erick told her, and Grandma understood.
“Mine was so bad when I was pregnant with Isabella,” her mother said, understanding my situation.
“It will get better with time, and Grace, if you crave some specific dish, just give me a call. I will cook all of them for you,” she told me with a smile and smiled back, knowing she meant it.
“Will I be pampered if I get pregnant?” Isabella asked excitedly with a curious look in her eyes.
“First, get yourself a man, then we will talk about it,” her mother said while nudging her head and looking at her with narrowed eyes.
“No one is interested in me. Is it my fault?” she huffed and then slumped while leaning back in the chair with a pout on her lips.
“Is it so?” I asked her while wiggling my brows. I know something is going on between her and Danial. I saw an emotion flashing in her eyes, which looked like a pain, but she covered it immediately before I could catch it.
“Why will I lie?” She huffed once again but avoided looking at me. It made me perplexed and curious at the same time.
Something is for sure going on between them.
