SHANNEN POV
My day at the office is over but I had to call Marie to let her know about Mr. Tony Benson's appearance this afternoon. He was the former business partner of my late father-in-law who withdraws his shares at the company. Now Mr. Benson is back and gave a new proposal and I'm still undecided.
It was around 1800 when I finally head out of the office. On the way home I called my babysitter for the last five months.
(PHONE CONVERSATION)
Me: Hey hot chick! I'm picking up take away what do you want for dinner? (I revved my car's engine)
Sher: Hey hot momma!! I'm craving for pizza. (Her background sounds shuffling)
Me: Sounds yummy!! I'll order your favourite toppings then. (My tummy begins to growls)
Sher: Thanks sis! Love yah! Drive safely!! Somebody is missing you already. (Her excited tone)
Me: Welcome! Love you too sis!! Later! (I hanged up)
(END OF PHONE CONVERSATION)
Yup! Sherry decided to stay with me after I was released from the hospital. I refused at first but she insisted that's better than actually getting a nanny. I accepted her idea since it was logical and practical.
In span of five months a lot of things happened in our lives it turns 360 degrees.
After Sher sold her gallery in Italy she finally moved back here to be with us than be alone in the foreign country. Most of her paintings were transferred while some are selling online. She opens a small gallery here with Mom's help yeah they managed to talk and fixed their differences and I'm very happy for that but not with Dad and I. We seldom talk after our argument so it was only Mom that pays us a visit when she's free.
As for Martin he is still the same nothing much changed although he claimed he's seeing somebody now. I was caught up in my own thoughts when I saw the street to my house.
Soon I'm in our driveway parking my car I meant Zac's car. I use it most of the time than mine call it weird but I feel more close to him when driving it.
"I'm home!!" I shouted from the door.
"In here!" Sher yelled coming from the nursery.
"I bought the pizza and your favourite toppings." I placed the box on the coffee table and went to my lovely angels.
"Thanks!" She appeared from the stairs.
"How are my precious little one? Did you give Aunty Sher headache today?" Steph giggled while Zandy smiled.
"They always behave when I'm with them right sweetpeas?" Sher touched their noses.
"Thanks for doing this Sher. It really means so much to me you could be out on a date now yet you are here babysitting." I kissed Steph and Zandy's cheek.
"Stop thanking me it's the least I can do while Zac is away." She uttered the last part.
"Yeah I preferred that term." I sighed.
She seems a little tensed and rattled after her comment at the back of my mind I felt it has a double meaning for Sher. Maybe I am just being paranoid so I brushed the idea away. I picked up Zandy in my arms since he keeps wiggling a sign that he wants me to carry him.
"So how's work?" She held Steph and we head to the stairs.
"Same as usual a lot of paperwork to sign and audit I'm glad Marie is always there to help and guide me otherwise I'll be crazy." I carefully placed Zandy on his playpen.
"How is she? When is she coming back?" She did the same with Steph.
"She's fine but didn't mention about coming back yet. It's weird sometimes the way she decides and deal with issues reminds me of Zac. Am I crazy for thinking that or I'm already crazy?" I grabbed a slice of pizza.
"Of course that's his mother. Where do you think Zac gets his brainy ideas?" She poured our glasses with juice.
"Yeah that's what I thought so too. I still miss Zac you know sometimes I felt he is just here watching us." I suddenly felt depressed.
"I know you do sis. Don't worry wherever he is I believe he is thinking of you too and misses you just as much." Sher comforted me.
"Anyways what's going on with you and Martin?" I changed the subject.
Last time we went to hospital I saw them talking but I didn't had the chance to ask. I have been in hospital for two months and it seems I didn't know what's going on with her love life.
"There's nothing going on! He is just being an A-S-S." Her voice hitched.
"OMG!! You are interested to the man you loathed at my engagement. I remember you called him psycho." I teased.
"I did not!" She denied.
"Are too!" I retorted.
Never!" She countered.
"Yes!" I hits back.
"No!" She resisted then an idea pops in my head.
"You hate him?" I diverted her mind from the topic.
"I very much do." She claimed.
"You loathed him?" I play off.
"Absolutely!" She even clapped her hands.
"But hot." I added.
"I gave him that credit." She nodded.
"Nice body too." I went on while studying her actions.
"Totally!" Her face turned crimson red.
"You like him?" I blurted out while she's busy munching her pizza.
"Yes!" She absentmindedly admitted.
"I knew it!!" I faced her smirking.
"You played me!" She tried covering her confession.
"I didn't so tell me when did this happen?" I folded my arms.
"Fine I admit it while I'm staying at Marie I had the chance to get to know him well." She sheepishly said.
She told me everything that happened during the times I was in the hospital for treatment.
"I'm glad you are working things out with him. Martin he is a great guy." I sipped my drink.
Our little chat was interrupted when Zandy begins to cry. I cooed him while Steph is silently playing on her playpen. Minutes later Sherry cleared the table while I carry the twins and head to their room.
Every night I sleep with my kids since I do breastfeeding. It's more convenient if they cry or feel hungry in the middle of the night it's easy for us. As soon as they both fell asleep I hit the sack in minutes.
