Because of Joe

Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Ilani looks at me and I kept my head low. "So what did he say? Whatever it was it made you cry or something." She looks carefully at me. "It's obvious you've been crying."

"He just tried to get me back. I cried because I was afraid Joe will come back and find him here." I lied.

"And he suddenly doesn't care about the babies." Ilani puts her head on her hand.

"He does. Sebastian even said that if I get back together with him he'll treat it as his own kids." I looked down at the kitchen table.

"Do you seriously want me to go after him and just put him out of his misery already? He needs to leave you guys alone." Ilani says.

"No just let him be." I got up to feed Gavin and Adrian their snacks.

"Let him be? Are you seriously letting him go after he bothers you every second of the day?" Ilani asked.

"He'll get tired of the same answers everyday. That answer is no." I put the twins' bowls on their high chairs.

"Impressive planning." Ilani spooned the baby food in Gavin's mouth. I fed Adrian and he kept on moving his mouth away. I looked at Adrian trying to figure out what qualities he inherited from Sebastian. I notice the blonde mixed with the brown growing hair, his eyes, and his nose. The only thing he got from me was his lips and face shape. The thought of Sebastian being his father made me cringe so much.

Joe came home later and I froze when he picked up Adrian and kissed his little forehead. "How's my boys." He says and I stared at him. "Gumdrop?"

"T-they're well." I said and Joe comes over to me.

"Are you doing okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." He gives me two kisses. I smiled but I lowered my head.

"I'm fine." I said and he puts Adrian down. Then he wraps his arms around me.

"You don't look fine." He says and then another kiss.

"Just tired. How about you?" I rumple his hair and he smiles. Another kiss on my jaw this time.

"Tired. We planned another tour. I don't know when yet but there's a possibility." He pulls me against him.

"Will you bring us?" I asked and he slides his hands down my back.

"If you want." He kissed me on the neck. "It will be fun." I felt his breath on my skin.

"I made dinner. I think it's still warm." I pulled away from him and he gently tugged my hair.

"What do you say about tonight?" Joe pulls my back against him. His lips gently pressed on my earlobe. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"What exactly do you mean?" I asked. He make that mischievous face. "Maybe. If you do some chores later tonight."

"I'm in." He kissed me and went upstairs after picking up the two boys. I closed the curtains after looking outside. The busy streets of New York City could be seen. I had the nagging feeling Sebastian was right outside. I shook of the paranoia and went upstairs. Joe was already in the kitchen Adrian and Gavin were in their playpen. He sets the table but I stop him.

"I already had dinner." I said.

"Why didn't you wait for me?"He puts the bowl of pasta I made for him on the table.

"I was hungry. You didn't come home yet." I went to go get him a glass and he takes my wrist.

"How about the two boys?" He says stroking the bone on my wrist.
