Who Do You Love? -lrh-

chapter eight

Luke's P.O.V

Although i would miss the kids Melissa had a point. I wanted more power, more attention, more of everything. I don't think i would be able to live without my kids though. They were my everything. "What are you thinking about?" Melissa lays on my naked chest grazing my chest hair with her soft cold hands. "Oh nothing." I sigh. I didn't even know how to truly feel. My heart felt empty. "You miss them don't you?" She say up quickly and covered herself up. She looked like she was about to cry. "Baby, it's okay. I only miss the kids." I smile and tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. I leaned in and gave her a long tender kiss.

"Take them." She smiled. I cocked an eyebrow. "Take them?"

"Yes take them. She's already filing for a divorce. You might as well file for custody." She walked her fingers up and down my chest. She had a point. They are my kids. I do have the more money and i do provide for them the most. And plus, Thalia is somewhat emotionally unstable at times. My children don't need to see that. Not at all, they don't need to know how to feel that feeling. "That's their mother though." I start to feel somewhat guilty, taking her kids away from her when I technically left them there by themselves.

"Well, you were her husband. That didn't stop me getting what i want." She whispered in my ear and softly bit on the lobe. I grabbed her my her hips and sat her on my lap.

"You really know how to persuade people Ms.Banks" he said lowly.

"Oh no, call me Mrs.Hemmings."

Thalia's P.O.V

My mother was being the motherly person she is and helped with the kids in the morning. I facetimed Calum this morning before i hopped in the shower, he was really good with words. Even though it may have not been exactly his business i needed to vent. I felt like i was going to explode if I didn't tell anybody but my mom.

"You're gorgeous. Who wouldn't want such an amazing wife like you?" Roamed through my head throughout the day. He made my heart somewhat flutter. Something that hasn't really done any fluttering in a cool minute. We canceled dinner for the better. I felt terrible not being able celebrate his big break in the music industry. So instead of fancy dinner I offered him take out and movies. He greatly agreed to.

I was hoping me and calum could form a good friendship. Melissa hasn't been too..., on the svene lately. She's been switching up her alibi when I question her why she cant hang out. Or has been sending my calls straight to voicemail. She even blocked me on some social media platforms. Maybe I'd make a surprise visit tomorrow and maybe take her out for nice brunch or bring coffee and donuts.

For some odd reason, this little hang out with Calum had to be perfect. It was driving me insane. Next to what wine we should sip on or what kind of popcorn seasoning should i offer. God Thalia! It's not it's a date! The kids were off with my mother running errands and probably shopping. My mom loved to spoil them. She would probably end up taking them home with her anyways. They enjoyed staying over there more than they like over here. I've come to realize that this big fancy house is completely useless.

The family is never home.

I miss having a smaller cozier house. This big black concrete box that it seems I'm living in is just to much of a luxury for my family. Excluding Luke. He likes everything big and better.

Well i wanted better. And definitely bigger.
