Chapter 66

There are some new characters in this chapter. You don't have to remember any of their names. They are just here to thicken the plot.

"There are people here."

"So what?" He kissed my neck from behind.

I giggled feeling ticklish. "I have to bake these."

"Let Windy do it." He bit my earlobe. I turned around in his hands. "No one will notice if we slipped out for a minute."

"A minute? Are you that bad Mr. Brantley?" I flirted back brushing my forefinger up and down his bicep.

He growled. "Bad... very... very bad."

"A glals of wata, pweaaaasseeeee." Lia came in running and I jumped away from his hands pretending to fold the cookie mixture while Robbie started pulling grapes from the stalks.

Windy came in running after her and bend over at my baby's words. "A glals... of water..."

Lia started giggling too. "Whaaaaa?"

Lia was all over the place. She was super excited with all the kids running around and playing. Windy was basically her chaperon but helped me with cooking too.

"I got her, Mr. Truscott." She wiped tears from her eyes still laughing. "Come on Miss. Princess. Let us get you a glals of wata!" Lia cackled and took off again and Windy ran off behind her, laughing.

"Thank God! Now, where were we?" Robbie tried to lean to me again and...

"David, more lemonade?" Sarah came in holding a big empty jug and I stifled a giggle at Robbie's annoyed face.

"There is some in the fridge but let me make some more."

"Na na. I got it. That is the least I could do." She took away the basket of Lemonade supplies and went outside.

Robbie again leaned to me and Melvin, Alice's boyfriend came in asking for extra pair of tongs.

Now my Big Baby really looked like he was going to blow up. He wanted some attention from me especially with Janice here, and the happy romantic couples surrounding us were putting him in very bad mood. He could not hold my hand or kiss me like every other person in our house. His last line was when Alice's brother came in with his long-time-boyfriend and his best friend who was also here with his husband and two kids.

They were always touching and holding hands. And the thought that he could not do it with me was bugging him to a point of explosion.

I put the cookie dough in the oven and giggled at his angry frown. He glared at me and I pressed my palm on my mouth; but Daddy it was so funny.

This really was getting to him and I felt bad.

Janice was still doing her makeup and I was thankful for that. Last night was an emotional roller coaster for us. Tris... Augustus came clean in front of me and then Janice arrived around 10 p.m and all the oscillations of emotions from good to bad, to good and back to bad again, tired us to the core. We had not seen much of Janice after breakfast.

When we heard, Allie- Alice's brother- come in, giggling at something his boyfriend had said before blushing and running off seeing us in the kitchen, Robbie angrily pushed away the grape bowl and stormed off to his office.

I smiled.

It showed how much he wanted to be with me and what he wanted from our relationship. If it was not for kids being present and would probably disrupt a good day for Lia, he would have just kissed me in front of all these people not caring about the havoc we would make.
