Christians POV

"I had fun tonight. Let me know how your wedding planning goes. I can't wait to see everything." Anastasia gives Tessa a hug.

Those two have become best friends, which I'm grateful for. I mean they have a lot in common, even their taste in men. Fucked up

"I'll see you Monday I guess." Hardin says to me, giving me a nod.

"Can't wait." I give him a sarcastic smile.

We part ways and head to the car. My driver opens the door and Anastasia and I hop in.

Immediately after getting into the car, Anastasia turns to me, smiling.

"Want to tell me what happened while you two were talking." She says.

She wastes no time.

"Where do I begin. Well for starters — my father isn't my real father. My mum had an affair with her boyfriend's best friend. I'm having lunch with my dad — my actual dad and my brother on Monday."

Anastasia looks at me, a shocked expression on her face.

"Why would Hardin tell you all of that on a night we're supposed to be having fun?" Anastasia asks.

"I may have got it out of him. He wasn't going to tell me."

"Well. Thank you for not causing a complete scene." Anastasia smiles.

"Well if I did — it's my restaurant anyways." I smile.

We pull up the driveway. When the car comes to a stop I open the door and help Anastasia out. It's a little after nine when we get home.

"You think the kids are asleep yet?"

"I sure hope so. I'm looking forward to some mommy and me time." I wink. Anastasia gives me a swat on the arm.

"Do that again and you'll really regret it." I grab her wrists and pull her close to me. She squeaks. I kiss her hard on her mouth, freeing her wrist. I move my hands through her hair. She pushes away and smiles.

"Can we get inside first?" She laughs walking to the door.

We enter the house, Theodore comes running to us. Hugging Anastasias leg.

"Did you see Uncle Hardin?" Did you tell him i said hello?" Theodore says, talking a mile a minute.

"Slow down. Yes we saw him." I laugh.

"Did you tell him I said hello. When's he coming back?" Theodores face is lit up.

"Shouldn't you be in bed young man?" I look at him changing the subject.

"Theodore wanted to stay up and say goodnight. Phoebe is already in her crib sound asleep." Amy, the babysitter says walking out of the kitchen smiling.

"Well it's way past your bedtime mister, say good night and let's get to bed." Anastasia smiles taking Theodores hand and leading him up the stairs.

"Did you see Tessa? I like her, she's pretty." Theodore says as he goes up the stairs, his voice getting fainter as he goes into his bedroom.

I look to Amy who tries not to laugh.

"Thank you for watching the kids tonight, I hope they weren't any trouble." I say.

"No problem. They were really good. All Theodore kept talking about was his uncle. It was the cutest thing." She says.

"That would be my brother. He just met Theodore last weekend." I laugh digging into my wallet to pay the Babysitter.

I hand her some money and thank her again for babysitting before she leaves.

Just as I close the door Tessa walks down the stairs and slips her arms around my waist from behind.

"Theodore finally went to sleep. He wants Tessa and Hardin to come over tomorrow and play with him." She laughs.

"I'm sure Hardin would love that. Maybe we should get him to babysit next time." I laugh turning around to face Anastasia.

I kiss her on the forehead. She smiles into my neck.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you." I tell her.

"All the time." She rolls her eyes.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I lift her chin up.

"I don't know. What are you going to do about it." She challenges me.

I look at her and smile. Taking on that challenge. I pick her up, her legs spread across my waist and I carry her up the stairs to our bedroom.
