Clumsy Is My Middle Name!!! (Book 2)

27-I Missed You

GRACE'S POV

"Martin, put the vase there, on that table!" I yelled on Martin. He sighed but did what I said to him. I was sitting on the couch feeling tired and restless. 

We had completely moved from the penthouse to our new home. It was completely set after an entire week of shuffling and matching.

Since I was in my eighth month, doctor advised me to take as much rest as possible. I had to be more careful than ever, since I had twins.

"Where is the damn pizza?!" Martin yelled like a little girl.

"Martin, no cursing!" I scolded him and he sighed. He still nodded.

"Alan, where is Alex?" I asked to Alan who entered and also had the pizzas in his hand. Martin almost jumped on him and snatched the boxes. He sat in the hall in front of the TV and ate pizza as he watched soccer match.

"Coming." Was all the response I got from him. Alan was still as closed off, but I was used to him by now. I came to terms with it. He only talked when necessary.

"Alan, did you find a PA in my replacement?" I asked him, casually. He helped me sit on the couch as he saw me struggling. I smiled at him and smacked Martin's head.

"Why did you smack me?!" He made a shocked face.

"You couldn't even see your best friend struggling to sit and you're stuffing your face shamelessly!" He gave me a pout. But continued stuffing pizza.

"Well, no. Still trying." Alan answered me about the PA. I nodded.

"Martin, did you call and ask where everyone were? They still haven't reached. You gave them the right address?" I asked and nodded for everything.

"Just wait, they'll come." Alan said and I nodded. There wasn't much of a choice for me.

"Alison!" I yelled as I tried to get up, but failed so I just sat on the sofa. Alison laughed at me and I glared at her.

"Trying having two humans in your stomach and then you'll see if you can get up or not!" I yelled at her.

My harmones were really on the edge. Carrying the babies was a tough job. And Alex was too busy to notice.

"Oh, sorry. Let me hug you." She said and bent down to hug me. I smiled.

"Well, it must be a tiring journey. Did you find the house properly?" I asked as she sat.

Our maid Nancy came and gave water to everyone. I agreed to the maid since Dory was getting old and we were going have kids soon.

"Thank you, Nancy. Can you tell Chef Chris to make the dishes I gave you the list before?" I asked her and she smiled at me.

"Sure. Anything else, Grace?" She asked and I looked at Alison.

"Can I get some grilled cheese, please?" She asked and Nancy smiled.

"Definitely." Nancy turned and went to the kitchen.

"I'm glad you finally agreed for having a cook." Alison said and smiled.

"He's a Chef. Don't let him hear you call him a 'cook', he throws tantrums at that." I said as I remembered how he had given me a fifteen minute lecture on differences between Chef and a cook.

"Yeah, why won't he? When you hire one of the world's top 20 Chef as your house cook, you are to know he'll have tantrums when you call him a cook." Alison commented and we all laughed.
