Two Lies, One Truth

Chapter 15

*about two months later (December 18)*

Zoe's P.O.V
Hawaii was absolutely amazing. We all had a fantastic time and will be definitely be returning. So far this month has been hectic. With Alfie moving in, the channels, Christmas coming up, and the kids' crazy school and sports schedules. Mason is now at home because the football season is over but Melody is still having practices. Currently, I'm helping Alfie set up his desk in our office while Mason was watching a movie.
"No Alf you put this on here," I demonstrate.
"But the instructions say to do this," he argues.
"But those are in Swedish," I joke.
"Trust me I got this Zoe," he smiles.
"Alright. Go on then," I back off. He manages to get the desk into one piece and it's pretty sturdy. We move it over to the opposite side from mine and it fit perfectly. He then hooks up all his monitors and computers on top of the desk. It's now around 1:30 and I need to go get Melody at 2:00.
"Okay you finish that up, I'm going to go get Melody and grab some Christmas gifts. Also Niomi invited me to dinner tonight and I'm taking Mel so you need to make some for you and Mase tonight," I smile.
"Alright. Have fun," he kisses.
"Bye Mase, see you in a bit," I whisper, kissing his cheek.
"Bye Mummy," he ends. I grab my vlogging camera and put on my coat.
"Bye Nala bear, I'll see you later," I beam, rubbing her ears. When Alfie moved in, he decided to bring Nala as well. At first the idea of two kids and a puppy scared me but it turned out fine. I grab the keys and head to the car. I drive to the gym and park the Mini.

Alfie's P.O.V
I was underneath the desk and hooking up all the cables.
"Mason, could you help me real quick?" I ask.
"Yeah," Mason replies.
"Click the keyboard and see of letters pop up," I instruct.
"Okay," he smiles. He starts clicking random keys and messes with the mouse.
"Is it working?" I question.
"Yes," he replies.
"Thanks buddy," I thank, getting out underneath the desk.
"Hey Mason do you want to record a video with me?" I ask. His face immediately lights up when I ask and he nods furiously. I haven't really posted a gaming video in awhile and might as well since I got the new computers set up. Also, when Zoe has the kids' on her channel, it's mostly Melody who sticks around the whole video. Helping Zoe with her hauls and favorites. Mason never really had a chance to be on a channel so I thought it would be perfect to do a gaming video with him. For the kids' birthday, Joe got him a Disney Infinity game and he hasn't played it yet.
"Right, go get that game Uncle Joe gave you," I instruct.
"Okay," he smiles, running off to his room.  I set up my tripod and grab the head phones. He brings back the game and I hook it up to the desktop.
"Hey guys I'm back with a new gaming series with this little man," I start.
"Hi," he smirks.
"As you guys know, little Mason here is Zoe's son and he got this game called Disney Infinity for his birthday. And I thought why not make it a series on this channel. You excited?" I inform.
"Yeah," he replies.
"Alright let's do this," I cheer. We play the game for about an hour and it was finally time for dinner.
"Okay, so it's getting late and I think we did good for our first time and hoped you enjoyed this new little series. If you liked this and want to see more-" I end.
"Give a thumbs up and subscribe,"
Mason interrupts.
"Well done mate. See you all soon and goodbye," I end. Our Wagamamas arrived and we sat down while watching Toy Story 2.

Zoe's P.O.V
"You excited to see Nimbob today?" I ask.
"Yeah," Melody answers.
"We're going to go eat some food later but first we need to get groceries and Christmas presents," I inform.
"Okay," she smirks. I drive to Marks and Spencer and grab everything we needed. Then we head into to Toys-R-Us to grab some presents for Darcy, Emilia, and Eduardo. I ordered the kids' gifts online so they wouldn't find out what they got.
"For Emilia," she points. It was a Palace Pet stuffed animal.
"That's perfect," I admit. We go around getting some more presents and Melody was quite the help. I paid for everything and make my way to Jamie's.
"Nimbob!" Melody shouts, running towards her.
"Hey there my little fairy," she giggles.
"Hey," I hug. "Where's this dashing prince I've been hearing about," I joke.
"He should be right out," she beams. We all take our seats and I take a peak at the menu. As I was staring at the menu, Niomi's new boyfriend took his seat.
"Zoe I'd like you to meet Marcus, Marcus this is Zoe, my best friend," she beams. I lower down my menu and see his face. I took a huge gulp and pulled Melody closer to me.
"Zoe?! Long time no see, how've you been?" He greets.
"Great, how about you," I fake smile. Out of all the Marcus's in the world, she wounded up with Marcus Butler. The one who left me in the dust.
"Oh you've met before?" Niomi questions.
"Yeah she was my....friend," he mumbles.
"Oh that's great," she smiles.
"Mummy, can I get sketti?" Melody begs. From the corner of my eye, I can see Marcus giving me a shocked look.
"Yeah," I reply. She gives me her cute little smile and goes back to coloring her menu.
"So you have a daughter..." Marcus wonders.
"Yes and a son, they're twins," I correct him.
"Oh. How old are they?" he answers. Before I could have a chance to tell him the answer, the waiter comes by and we order all our food. Once we finish, Melody begged Niomi to come over.
"Nimbob can you please come over and play with me?" She continues.
"Nimbob's busy baby, maybe another time," I try and convince.
"Oh no I'm free today. I would love to come over. Plus I have Christmas presents for the both of them in my car. Do you mind if Marcus tags along since we took one car," she asks.
"Oh yeah no problem..." I fake smile.
"Alright see you back at your house," she smiles, getting out of her chair. I grab Melody's hand and we walk out of Jamie's. I buckle her up in the back and she plays with her little doll. I try and get my mind off what's about to happen. Is he really coming over and being around my children?
