Holding one of the triplets in my arms,I smiled and cooed and did all the baby patting I could do.
Terrence and I decided to settle things, but it had turned out differently from how I had imagined.
4 weeks ago
"Get out Terrence" I stood up and walked to my door.
He stayed, seated "stop this strong defence tactics and listen to me,I hated that Brittany thought you were different, I felt it,Only God knows why I didn't admit it,then you kissed me and I knew that with time I would want you in my life, my ego took over not wanting to hear Brittany tell me 'I told you so', stupid but true,I tried to bury myself in work,date lots of ladies, change church" i frowned "the Church is just a building without the Holy Spirit" he sighed "i know that now, i guess i didn't fully grasp the truth or i didn't want to, i needed to know God and have a relationship with him and now i know that, the ladies never helped anything, it just kept me locked up in damnation, i tried everything or just anything but you were there,always there,haunting me,I later found out from Brittany that you had found out about my Aunt and how you never came back to work, I was slapped by Brittany when I told her that I wanted to see you,and I received my fair share of slaps from my aunt when she heard the whole story from Brittany" I smiled at that part, serves him right.
He stood and walked towards me and knelt down "I'm so sorry Alisha, for being a jerk and taking you for granted"
I bit back tears "get out Terrence,don't let me repeat myself again"
I felt tears threatening to run down,he didn't let go, but held me tightly,then he stood up and covered the space between both of us,cupping my face in his hands "I'll leave"
"Finally"
He painfully smiled and came impossibly closer,I whispered "Don't"
"Can't" the contact sent tingles down my body, his lips sought entrance,i weakly murmured "Terrence, leave". He looked at me with his amazing hazel eyes "I'm really sorry Alisha"
I sighed and touched his cheeks,drawing him closer, i forgave him and as we embraced, it dawned on me that I had just opened up a new tale.
*******
The baby kept sucking my cream colored cardigan till I moved her away, which earned a piercing scream.
Brittney smiled and carried her off to feed,feeling strong hands drawing my waist to a very muscled body, I smiled and leaned in "thought you were good with babies"
"Who says I'm not"
He pointed at the baby in B's hands, I punched him in a very unsuccessful way "you better get ready for ours"
I tried looking at him but he wasn't letting me.
"There's a process...ring,wedding, babies".
"Or we could just jump the two and get on with it" he laughed into my neck.
I struggled to get free which made him laugh more.
Hugging him so tight, he chuckled and I sensed that he was going to say something naughty.
"So what about skipping two steps and making babies"
I chuckled and slapped him playfully "Owwww"
"I love you A"
"I love you T"
He grinned and did air punches "yes,yes!!!! Finally!!!".
