Here I Stand (BWWM) (AMBW) [COMPLETED]

Chapter twenty: The Boys are here

Jennifer and the twins, Aiden and Hakeem

Aaron's pov

We were interrupted by someone knocking on the door, "Isa it's me, I brought the kids..." Isa looked at me then stood up urging me to go hide "Wait, a minute I'm naked...." She lied pushing me towards her room " so will you be my girlfriend?" I stopped in the midway, "ok, yes sure. Just go hide my brother cannot see you here" she pushed me.

Isa's pov

"Come in" said my brother opening the door, both Aiden and Hakeem ran to me "Kids, Adaline is sleeping..." scolded them Nathan, "Non preoccuperti, è già sveglia da un po" (Don't worry she has been awake for a while now) I said, hugging the twins, "Could you watch them for the rest of the day, I have a convention...". "It's okay, go now, e stai lontano dalla droga" (And don't do drugs) I joked patting him on the back, once he was gone the party started " auntie, why is there a man in your room?" inquired Aiden, observing Aaron quite
curiously.

"He's a friend" I lied, in my defense it wasn't that kind of intentional lying more like the lie you say when you're pretty much confused about what is the truth. Aaron's gaze was on me, he seemed mad, " His name is Aaron" I said picking up Jennifer, my niece, who as the same age as Adaline, " Do you want to play with my Legos?" proposed Hakeem taking Aaron's hand " Uhm, suure" Aaron looked at me asking for help.

"They're just kids, they don't bite, at least these have never done so, "Just do what I am doing" I sat on the mat with some Legos. "Start with two or three blocks, and then go on, there's no need to think, just follow your inner kid" I suggested smiling.

After a while I called the kids so they could have some snacks. While the kids were busy with the food I dragged Aaron in my room, "Ok, we are really doing this I guess" he joked pulling me to him, "Hey! Stop it, you have to go now...." I hit him.
" It's because of the kids?? Oh come on they won't say anything, unless we give them something to talk about" he whispered kissing my cheek quietly.

He kept kissing me, and leaning in, causing me to almost fall on the bed, I knew I probably wouldn't have been able to resist him, so I did the first thing that popped in my mind, I kicked in in his private parts "Holy..." He squirmed falling on the bed, before he could finish his sentence I covered his mouth. "Shoot, but I told not to kiss me that way" I recalled.

Adaline toddled to me, "Mama, mama" she voiced sweetly, her arms longing for my touch, it was the dishelved hair, the urgency in her voice and her walking on her tiny tip toes,and her somehow undone onesies, that tugged my heart and warmed my body with happiness and content.

"Can we go to the park?" Hakeem, aske sitting next to me, "Sure let's go get ready" I picked up both Adaline and Jennifer and moved to the living room to get them all dressed, before exiting the room I deescretly mouthed Aaron to leave. I did not want him secretely lurking around my house and just simply felt that acquainted to him to have him invade my safe space.

I straddled everyone on their carsseats and started the engine, I was quite confident while driving: the hardest part came when arriving to the park: the tantrums when leaving, the fighting with other kids, the running around, that was intricate part, that I dreaded.

Once I parked and got ready to undo everyone's seatbelts I reminded the rules, "Regola numero 1: non si parla con gli sconosciuti, numero 2: si usano le parole non le mani, numero 3: si mangia solo quello che vi do, numero 4: non ci si allontana da soli" (Rule number 1: we don't talk to strangers, rule number 2: use your words not your hands, number 3 : you eat only what I give you, rule number 4: you do't ward off without me) "Everybody understood?" "Si, pero adesso andiamo" (Yes, but let's go now) Hakeem sassed impatient.

Hakeem and Aiden could switch between languages very easily, by hearing Nathan talking in Italian frequently, which sometimes plays as a disadvantages when I want to say bad words in italian, but I hold my tongue as I know at this age they repeat everything they hear.

As I watched them play, I was reminded of Nathan when little, he was a tornado, did not manage to stay still for long periods of time except he was drawing, eating, or sleeping. Hakeem was more docile and calm, but Aiden was definetely a copy of Nathan, when it came to his personality, which made me crack up.

Aaron's pov

I couldn't get enough of her, but her reaction really surprised me, "You didn't apologise" I whined, putting a bag of ice in my private parts, "I know, I don't have to... I had warned you remember?" Isa smiled mischievously, but even with that look she was so gorgeous.

"Mama mama" opened the door Adaline, "Addy, vieni qua" (Come here) Isa called her, her eyes suddenly becoming soft, one of the twins followed behind, "Can we go to the park?" asked sitting between me and Isa.
Isa smiled "Sure let's get ready" she picked up Jennifer and Adeline and exited the room. That woman was strong, not the basic woman I had dated, she had nothing in common with the chicks I used to date and casually sleep with. She liked being the strong character, yet vulnerable. Following her orders I left her flat, seeing how good she was with kids was totally unexpected gave a me a sense of relief: that way I would be able to grant my parents' wishes more easily.

They were dying for me, to have kids on my own, but were too concerned as to with whom I would have their grandchildren, Isa was the perfect candidate, from what the things I had managed to pick up, she was new to the world of dating, which would make things easier for me.

She was naïve and without previous experience, my parents would be satisfied enough if they would see me with someone as responsible as her, not much about her daughter Adaline, but hey, it was a whole package.

Reeling her on, was not as easy as I had expected it to be, she was either very tenacious or the people I have been with must have been thirsty, which can be both true.
