I Want You To Love Me

Chapter 1 - Family Ties

"Syden baby, be gentle with your brother," Robyn semi shouted to catch her daughter's attention. Her nose had been in her notebook as she sat on the beach chair trying to keep her attention on them both as well. Her kids and their cousins were playing in the sand by the ocean of her Barbados villa.

"Mommy, mommy! Can we going in there?" Syden enthusiastically asked with her tiny finger pointing towards the beautiful sea. Alina and Ace were equally awaiting answer since they had anticipation written all in their eyes once their sights landed on her.

"Melissa's already out dere wit' Quinton. Me n' Tanella will take 'em boo. Just finish ya work so we can celebrate later," with a hand placed on Robyn's knee, Noella said while arranging her orange bathing suit.

Robyn mouthed a "thank you" before dropping her sights back into her notebook that held all her ideas and designs for her tour along with lyrics to new songs she had been toying with. She was not sure if they were album material, however they had been replaying in her mind for days. The singer had actually finished her album weeks ago though, she still felt that something was missing.

Four years had gone by and Aubrey and Robyn were now on baby number three. Their oldest, Syden and the firecracker of them all, was now 5 years old which was so hard to believe. Syden was their first and to see her grow up so quickly was honestly breaking Robyn's heart. She wanted her babies to remain exactly that, babies! She could not imagine her kids growing up and leaving her alone; she never wanted the constant hugs and kisses to cease. It was bound to happen one day and all she could do right now was appreciate every second she had with them.

The twins, Ace and Alina, were now three years old. Without a doubt, the idea of twins after not even a year with their first born was a lot to process due to their careers but nothing they could not manage. As Robyn would say, Aubrey purposely knocked her up a little after Syden's birth, when in reality that was not the case whatsoever. None of her pregnancies were planned however they both knew what they were doing when they would...

Unable to concentrate, and, letting the sun travel her exposed skin, Robyn fell back into her seat. Her custom Dior sunglasses fell onto her nose, motivating her to shut her eyelids and bask in the calmness knowing that it would not last for long.

Being a mother was a lot to handle however, she was joyful that she did not have to go through everything alone. Her family always had her back, and vice versa, and she honestly did not know what she would do without them. And not to forget, she had an amazing person at her side who was the love of her life and an amazing father to her kids at that. God had really blessed her life and she was ultimately and forever grateful.

"I take it that it isn't going well?" Appearing from the inside of the villa, Aubrey handed her a drink before leaning down and pecking her red lips.

"Not only that, I hate that I'm working on Nene's birthday. Thank you." She sipped from the refreshing mix. Rorrey being the master of mixology amongst them all taught Aubrey a good share of thirst-quenching drink mixes.

He took a seat on the edge of the beach chair beside her so that his knees were pointing in her direction. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds before he reached for her necklace and arranged her golden chain so that the lock would be at the back of her neck.

"Look at her," he bopped his head at their daughter fooling around on the edge of the beach with her cousins. "She's enjoying herself surrounded by her family and the people who love her."

"I know baby, but it still feels wrong," she pouted unwillingly. These deadlines were eating her up.

"We both know you can't put a pause on creativity. If it comes and when it comes, you have to get it down almost immediately. So if you have to work a lil today, just make up for it later in the day. Syden's energized right now so she won't mind," he paused to take a sip of his beer as his words made some impact on her. "Okay?"
