After Detia leaves everything behind to start all over in Paris, where her father always lived and ended up dying, still with the mindset that Jace, her lover and the father of her triplets, killed her father. What happens when she meets him seven y...
"Levantarse y brillar queridos" I sing song entering the triplets' bedroom
"Estamos arriba" they chorus
"Well that wasn't hard" I chuckle
"You know what to do, brush your teeth and come down for breakfast" I instruct and head downstairs
"Hey Brandon. How did your... umm... important business go?" I ask him when I spot him eating cheerios in the kitchen
"Great. There's a new bar opening tonight, just around the corner, you might want to join me attend. We can use it as an oppurtunity to catch up" he says
"Uh... I'd love to, but I don't want to burden mom, you know, leaving the kids with her can be stressful. They seem calm but trust me, they're a lot of work sometimes"
"Nonsense darling, these kids are my grandchildren, and I wouldn't love anything more than having a girls night with them. You should go, it would be fun" mom chimes in, entering the kitchen
"Then it's done. Meet you at 7pm. Right now I have another important business coming up" he says, leaving the kitchen
"What are we having for breakfast?" Arielle asks, coming down with her sisters. That girl and food. The three of them love food, but she's married to it.
"Who wants some Brooklyn waffles? Google has a recipe of Rufus Humphery goodness" I say and they squeal at the mention of waffles, but they didn't get a word of what I said

I straighten my hair after doing my makeup, the braid I put it in yesterday has made it curly and I would like to go straight today. Oh did I say I dyed blonde? Guess I didn't. I walk into the closet that I organised my clothes in this afternoon and take out the attire I set aside for the evening.

I put on my pumps and take my purse, heading out the door.
"Mommy!" The trio squeals as I hear towards the front door, shrugging my coat on.
"Hey lovelies, I'll be back soon. Mhm?"
"Okay. Have fun Dee" Arielle says and I chuckle. I don't know where that came from, but ever since she heard Brandon call me that, it has replaced mummy for her
"I sure will Ari" I say and wave to them
"I can see I'm right on time. You look great Dee" Brandon says, pulling up
"You sure are and thanks" I say and tie my coat, getting into the car.
Soon enough we got to the bar, the car ride was interesting, singing songs at the top of your lungs is always interesting.
Entering the club, I couldn't help but admire the interior, the burgundy and gold theme colours made the place look classy, and the wide bar filled with all types of liquor, bodies grinding each other on the dance floor, people making out with each other, others laughing and talking about everything and anything.
"It's a nice place. Looks like it was open a long time ago even" I tell Brandon, as we take a seat in a couch leaning on one of the corner walls
"Yeah." He says, nodding in agreement
"Goodevening. What would you like to have?" A waiter comes over, asking for our orders. This place sure is classy, you don't get the drinks yourself, they are served to you.
"I'll have a glass of martini" I say to him
"Gin and water" Brandon orders
"Right away" he says, leaving
"So, what did you want to talk about?" He asks
"Everything. What has been going on in your life? Let's start with you and Beverly, why did you two break up anyway?" I ask, since I've always wanted to know the real reason
Just as he was about to speak, the waiter brings our drinks, "Thank you" Brandon and I say in unison.
I take a sip of the ordered martini, loving the way it feels on my tongue
"Well, it happened just like that" he says, shrugging
"What do you mean it happened just like that? So you woke up one morning and you were like 'we've had this relationship for five years, we're tired, so let's break up'?" I ask, finding his explanation senseless
"Look, we saw it coming, we knew that it was over at one point"
"So you sat down and broke up? Elaborate" I say, setting my glass down as a new song is being put on by the DJ
"We... um... we both cheated" he says and I snort
"You found out she was cheating and you also decided to cheat for revenge or what?"
"Why didn't you become a lawyer? You're so nosy" he says, trying to avoid my question
"I am not nosy, I am just interested in my brother's life"
"Okay fine. It was a closure for us. We knew at one point that it was over, but somehow we didn't want to admit it. So when we realised we both decided to cheat, at the same instance, if after that we still want to stay together, it'll be like a second chance we give to each other, and if after that we don't then, that means we got each other out of our systems" he says, so bluntly like it's nothing
"Wait what? You cheated. Had sex with strangers. Like it's nothing. And you call that closure?"
"Look I am sorry, this is why I didn't want to tell you, I didn't want you to think any less of me" he says
"I don't think any less of you, but I am disappointed in you. I always thought Beverly was the one for you, I always saw you as the... how is we even said it back then? As the golden couple, but right now I don't think so anymore. I hate the person she has turned you into. It was her idea wasn't it?" I ask
"Yeah" he breathes out
"Whether we humans like it or not, there is one thing that we need to know, sex is more than we make it to be. With my past I am not the one to talk, I know, but sex is more than just a random hookup, just a one night stand. It's a spiritual bond between two people, that is why rape isn't considered as sex, because one person isn't in agreement, but when both parties are, it's more than what you know. I wish I made the right decisions, but I can't turn back. That is why I am trying my possible best to be the mother that my kids would want, I have learnt the hard way, Brandon, and I wouldn't want the same for you" I say and pick my coat, getting up, I head out of the club.
I hope he listens to me.
