THE TIES THAT BIND-Book 3 In The Sexy As Series

Chapter 92

"Whenever my father would go out of town for business. A few choice words and my mother would join him and Kaia and I had the place all to ourselves for the whole weekend," Marian smiled at the memories.  "We had a lot of fun back in the day."

"Such a party animal you were baby," Zayn said. "Any embarrassing pictures you can share?" He asked Marian.

"Oh my God, stop it!" Kaia said and then smirked at Marian. "We did have some really good times. Made a lot of good memories."

"Sorry, I didn't bring any pictures from California to London." She said with a hint of sadness. "Now all my memories will be gone with my parents moving to God knows where. Probably somewhere warm and sunny," Marian said practically pouting.

"Maybe they can send them to you," Zayn said with a glance at Harry. "I'd love to see pictures of the two of you during your teenage years."

Kaia glanced at Ahmir who was holding his spoon ready to fling his carrots at his Uncle Harry. "Ahmir Declan Malik!" She scolded. "Don't you even think about it or you will not be going anywhere tonight except to your bedroom."

Ahmir gave his mouth a pout but returned his food to his plate. He would get Harry at another time he thought.

"Kaia should have some photos from when we were younger. She took with her when she left Venice Beach. Packrat that she was always carrying her stuff with her."

Kaia looked at Marian. "I...um...I...I do," she said.

"Are these pictures in our house?" Zayn asked. "And why haven't I seen them?"

"Oh my God," Kaia said and got up from the table. She hurried off to the bedroom and went to the closet and pulled open the bottom drawer of her dresser and pulled out a worn photo album. She had almost forgotten about it. So many memories and happy times but she had buried it away.

Zayn watched her get up and then looked at Marian. "Does she not want me to see them?"

"I'm utterly clueless. I would have figured you had already seen them. If I wasn't six months pregnant I would have gone after her, but I can barely get out of my chair. I hope she comes back with them," Marian replied.  "We have both changed so much since back then. Kaia used to be a shy violet, well until she got high then she was a wild woman," she chuckled.

Zayn arched an eyebrow at her.  His wife smoked pot? "Like how wild?" He couldn't help but ask.

Kaia flipped through the album. She had forgotten how many pictures she had in the album. She had even shoved loose pictures in it throughout the years.

"Skinny dipping in my parents pool with a couple of guys. I wouldn't let my boyfriend go into the pool while she was high or drunk," she laughed at the memories.  "Kiss the man, quarters, shots. Your sweet little wife was a party girl.  Help me up and I will go get her. Waddle my fat ass down there." 

"My shy baby did all that?" He asked. He was a little shocked.

"I bet that was a sight to see Kaia higher than a kite," Harry said with a smirk as he then glared at Ahmir who was preparing to shoot his peas at him again.

Kaia got up and made her way back to the dining room. She saw Marian trying to get up. "Sit your ass down," she teased and put the very thick photo album down on the table by her best friend.
