Stupid Addiction

chapter one

The smell of brewed coffee mixed with egg and bacon enveloped the room. The aroma so appealing to the nostrils is just what Gabrielle needs after a long night shift at the precinct, She kicks off her shoes and hangs her coat on the coat rack then heads to the TV room.

"Hey, no running in the house!". The stern voice of Mrs Daley called from the end of the hall.

Sapphire came dashing into the living room later with mud all over her face Emerald was just a few inches away with a piece of artwork in her hand giggling and squinting her eyes.

"Mommy!" They said in unison.

Gabrielle greeted her twins with big kisses and hugged them over and over and over. Coming home to them is such a blessing, especially with the type of career she is into.

" Hey, munchkins mama missed y'all last night". She told them.

" Gabrielle, you'll need a nanny sometime soon". Mrs. Daley called reaching the dining hall with the morning paper in her hand.

Gabrielle smile. "Come on they are babies Miss Daley even though Emerald is a handful". She ruffled emerald's hair and pouted a little.

" Am bigger than a handful". Emerald spoke skillfully.
Mrs. Daley pats her head and smiles. 
"Oooh Em we know that".

"Of course you are honey". Gabrielle amended before picking Emerald up and twirling her.

The honest truth is Mrs. Daley is right she's sixty-eight, a widow, and can barely afford her apartment but Gabrielle wouldn't have it any other way than to have her take care of her babies without Him/the asshole in the picture she knew she had to have her own nanny raise her kids, the love she has for Mrs.Daley is unmatched and the kids love her endlessly.

Ever since him/Bastard/Asshole left Mrs. Daley was all she had she was there for the postpartum depression episodes the birth the christening Everything while him/Skillful fingers /Uhhhh...Dang her mind that dirty little mind of hers. But honestly his dic...eggplant its soft shaft, its elasticy..its...

Gabrielle slapped her forehead when she saw Sapphire looking at her with round eyes. What if Sapphire can hear her thoughts and think she has a dirty mind?

"Mob, can I play with Toby?" Sapphire asked tugging at the tail of Gabrielle's shirt.

"Toby stinks". Emerald argued sticking her tongue out at Sapphire.

" He does not". She complained.

"Yes, He does he's a stinky dog".

"Guys!". Gabrielle said a little too loud throwing her hands up in the air. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment. She got her self hooked on his stupid series it is just too addictive oh how she hates him. She open her eyes and exhale gosh when the fuck did he held her breath.

The silence in the room from her yell made her immediately regret the tone of voice she used.

Gabrielle never yells at her kids unless she has to, she noticed six curious eyes weighing down on her so she broke the silence by changing the topic.

"Come on am taking you out, We'll go get some ice cream, or whatever So go to your room real quick Mrs. Daley gon get you cleaned up"
"

They both cheered and dashed for the stairs.

"Are you okay?". Mrs. Daley asked as soon as the kids were out of earshot.

She sighs with a nod.

"Yeah, it's just that I'm feeling a little off like something is about to happen, or I'm gonna get called in I don't know Mrs. Daley something is just off you know". She throws a hand to her forehead and sighs.
