I lean forward latching my lips to hers. In one swift move, i grip her ass tightly and lift her up off her feet. Her legs promptly swung around my waist locking her feet together.

I walk to the door not breaking the kiss, I make it into her room without making a sound. Once I reach the bottom of the bed where an ottoman sits, she pulls away and jumps down "Wait.." she says catching her breath.

Oh great, she's about to reject me. Of course it's coming.

"I ugh, need to clean the kitchen.." what? I almost laugh at the lame excuse. "I can't sleep knowing there are dishes to be done and the kitchen isn't spotless, it's a mum thing" she nervously chuckles.

Could possibly be true, after she was out her drunken state the living room was immaculate and always seems to be.

"I'll be back..I promise" She smiles. I nod, she promised she'll come back. I trust the she will be.

She turns her heels "Wait." I grab her elbow swinging her around, she hits my chest and slowly looks up. I cup her cheek and peck her lips softly. She blushes crimson and leaves the room with a little giggle and a shake of the head.

I best take a shower and waste time until she's back, I go into her en-suite and turn the shower on, I wash my hair and body within five minutes, I wrap a towel around my waist and walk back into her room.

The last time I was in here was that magical night we spent together, with how things turned out I wish I never left.

My bags are in the corner of her room, well out of harms way. She thought it was be best to put my bags in her room other than letting them sit in the living room. I pull black boxers out and put them on, I won't be needing anything else.

Her room is different now, it's much more grown and motherly like. She now has an ottoman at the end of her bed, the rooms full of light baby blue and white colours. Above her chest of drawers hangs a frame of little pictures of Elle, pictures of her growing up all those years. One catches my eye. Elle is just a baby and Brin she looks like a baby herself. They're both sleeping soundly looking exactly like one and other. It warms my heart just thinking that they're my family.

A pain shoots across my chest as I realise..who has taken that photo? Was it Kai? It feels as though my heart just turned to ice until I feel something wrap around my waist, I look down knowing exactly who it is, well who else would it be?

"What you doing?" She trails kisses on my back as I still look at the photo. Goosebumps form on my body with her touch.

"Who took this?" I point.

"Andie" she coyly says.

"Hmm" I nod acting like I already knew it was her.

"It wasn't Kai, he didn't come into my life until she was around a year and a half or something" she shrugs. She doesn't remember specifically, the puts my mind at ease. Sort of.

My eyes dart to another photo of Brin and Elle which looks recent. Brin is hugging Elle close to her chest while they both smile brightly, Brin is wearing a light blue mini sundress..wait..I bought her that, she still wears it. I thought she would've ripped it up into pieces or set it on fire, but she didn't..she still wears it. A smile plasters my face.

I turn in her arms and place both hands on her neck, I peck her lips lightly and smirk "Cleaning done?" I whisper against her lips.
