Love Takes Two

Chapter Eleven

Ella waited until the children were to put bed on the second floor and the men went into the study to catch up on old times,before dragging Cassie into the kitchen with Ansela trailing behind them.

"Sit." Ella pointed to one of the kitchen stool and waited until they were both seated before talking. "Why did you come here Cassie?"

Cassie frowned at her. "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that I can't come and visit Will,if I wish to?"

"No,not that." Ella combed her fingers through her hair,all the while containing her anger. "I know that Annie here,asked you to come."

"I didn't." Annie protested from where she was sitting.

Ella eyed her before turning back to Cassie who had a smirk on her face.

"I told you just last week that I would come to Philly,didn't I? So here I am."

"I thought you said that you are coming next month?" Ella eyed her suspiciously. "What suddenly changed?"

"Schedule." Cassie lied smoothly without batting an eye lid. "Enough talk about me,so what's up? Are you enjoying your time here?"

"Yes." She lied too. "I am so happy that you are finally here. And oh, I made a new friend. You'd completely love her."

Ansela smirked."more like him." She mumbled.

"Is there something you are not telling me?" Cassie's gaze went back and forth while she tried to figure out what she missed.

"Nothing." Ella threw Ansela a warning look. "By the way Cassie,you look so tried,are you okay?"

Cassie got on her feet and stretched her sore body. "Yeah. Just feeling jet lagged among other things."

Ansela and Ella exchanged a knowing look before their gaze rested on a blushing Cassie.

"You're up the duff again,aren't you?" Ella beamed at Cassie.

"Yeah,but Kaden does not know yet." Cassie returned their smile. "I just found out last week and I know that he would cancel this trip if he knew."

"If I knew that what?" A masculine voice inquired from the doorway.

All three heads turned towards the doorway. Each woman had their own expressions. Cassie's look was that of surprise, Ansela looked amused while Ella looked a little bit flustered.

"What was that sweetheart?" Kaden walked into the room and stopped in front of Cassie with an slightly curious look on his face.

Ella smiled to herself when Cassie turned red and stood there with her mouth opening and closing like a fish.

"She's pregnant again." Ansela finally broke the silence that had descended over the kitchen.

Kaden's face filled with love and adoration. He scooped his wife into his arms and kissed her soundly on the lips. All the while,Ella was watching William,who stood in the door way staring at the couple with longing in his eyes.

Her heart squeezed as she remembered when he told her that he was still in love with Cassie. He wasn't lying back then. It was all there on his face to see. Why was the universe so wicked? Why did she have to go on and crush on someone who was in love with another?

I have a crush on him.

Ella's eyes widened and a soft gasp escaped her lips. She knew all along that coming to work for him in the first place was a stupid idea. William liked blonde women not dark haired women like her. It was really obvious in his doings and taste.
