Sweet Affection [Affection Series 4] {Completed}

Chapter 24

Erika slowly tip-toes towards her daughter's room like a ninja but a yelp that escapes from her mouth ends her dream to be one when all of a sudden Gio opens the door and steps out startling her.

"What are you doing?" Gio asks her in amusement once he closes the door lightly and turns to face her.

"Is she dead?" Erika asks ignoring his question.

Gio just shakes his head and wraps his arm around her shoulder pulling her along with him as he walks towards the kitchen.

"She is perfectly fine, just like all the other times she has fallen asleep, nothing alarming" he replies once they enter the kitchen.

"Ah well, guess I don't have to wear a black dress now" she hums jumping on the counter ignoring Gio's glare her way.

"You are a mother Erika; it will be nice to see you being nice to her every once in a while" Gio sighs as he washes his hands.

"It's not my job to be nice to her, someone has to be evil in her life else it's no fun" Erika grins wickedly.

"Is that so? But I think I did heard someone getting emotional and talking things out with her daughter" Gio teases her looking behind his shoulder towards her.

"I knew it, see that's why I don't want to go all mushy and soft," Erika grumbles while he laughs her way.

"Relax; it was my mother who told me you two made up. I have not exactly got around to, sit and talk with Engel" he defends his mate.

"How can you when she keeps falling asleep on you, poor you I bet your death will be before her and the reason will be blue balls...

You and I, we both have the worst luck in mates I tell you. I can understand how hard it must be for you to hold back, I mean I am a girl and I could not hold back with my mate...

I wish I could help you with this one, you should do something already Gio before she permanently becomes a sleeping beauty, if you wait on Enzo or Eric to find a cure, forget it...

I wonder where the fuck is Eric anyway, son of the awesome Erika has been out of contact for so long, I do not even remember the last time I heard his voice...

I wonder how he looks now that he is all grown up, damn this is so sad now that I think of it both of my kids I do not even know how they grew up, just as my mom did not know how I grew up...

I am the worst mother in the whole world and it feels awesome" Erika grins at the last statement making Gio roll his eyes.

"You are one of a kind" he chuckles as he wipes his hands.

"Of course, being a loving, caring mother sounds so overrated, I hate kids cannot even curse in front of them" she shrugs her shoulder swinging her legs in the process.

"But from what I remember and heard you were good at looking after me when I was a baby"

"Ah then the answer must be you, I gave all of my love and dedication towards you as you are and will always be my first child" she smiles sweetly.

"Damn woman, don't get all emotional on me" Gio scolds her playfully before wrapping his arms around her for a hug.

"Don't worry; you are also the reason why I hate kids and got the trauma from looking after you that's why I didn't get to be a part of my children's childhood" Erika points out making him laugh.

"You always have to ruin the moment and blame others for everything right?" he asks her shaking his head.

"Of course as we all know I can do no wrong"
