When the lads were seated at a table in a café a woman and a little girl walked in. “, good to see you”! said and looked up. “”! said. “Hi , hi ”! said. “Hi…”! said a bit shy. “Where’s your mummy at”? asked looking at the beautiful little girl who looked an awful lot like her mother. “Don’t know, I am staying at my dad’s this week”! said. “You see Mike and are best friends, so I am doing them both favours”! explained. “And ”? asked. “She’s home with Mike”! “And …wait a second did you say that you are staying at your dad’s this week”! nodded. “They are going through a divorce right now”! said. smiled at , “Do you know where she is”? asked. “ she’ll call you I promise you”! said giving him a reassuring smile. “Really you won’t tell me where she is”! begged. “No, but I talked to her earlier today and she will call you, don’t pressure her”! “Thanks ”! smiled and went to the counter, “You’ll just have to wait right mate”! “Yeah I guess so”! said. “Are you sure you are ready for another girl this soon”! asked. “If it’s her then yes I am”! said drinking a sip off coffee.
sat in her apartment looking at her phone, she didn’t know what to say to him. The room was too silent after the girls had left with to stay at ’ who still lived in the house. She had read in the magazines that was getting divorced so this was the perfect opportunity for her to talk to him. She scrolled down to his name and pushed the green bottom.
“ what can I do for you”! She heard say, god she had missed his voice. “Can we please talk”! said silently. “ is that you”? “Yeah, thought you had saved my number”! “I have it didn’t show any caller ID”! “Do you have time to talk”? asked. “Yeah of course, do you want to meet or what”! “Yeah that would be great, when are you back in London”? “I am actually in London right now”! said. “Oh okay”! “Where do you want to meet me”? He asked, he couldn’t wait to see her again. “Could you stop by my place”! “Of course”! He said and gave him her address.
took a shower and got dressed in a pair of jeans and a red vest top. “I hope you bring my cardigan”! She said to herself. She turned on the coffee machine and sat down in the sofa, just to stand up again, when she was about to sit down once again there was a knock on the door. She peeked out and saw his beautiful face looking a bit worried.
“Hi…”! She said when she opened the door for him. “Hi…”! He said smiling. “Looking good”! He said stepping inside. “Thank you, same to you”! replied smiling. took off his coat. “I got you something”! He said giving her a bag. “What is it”? asked exited. “Something you might like”! opened to see 3 boyfriend cardigans in black, white and grey. “Sorry I didn’t know what colour you wanted, I think might have cut up the other one”! started to smile. “Thank you, I love all of them”! She said an put on the black one. “It really suits you”! “Yeah I know”! She said walking to the kitchen getting two mugs of hot coffee.
“I like this place”! “Yeah I am getting used to it”! said handing him a mug. “Thanks, I am sorry that I just blurred out that we had something going on”! He apologised. “Yeah, well it’s for the better right”! She said looking at him. “Sure is, might not be best for the kids, but for me personally it is”! “Yeah”! “Do you miss him”! asked. “No this is how it’s meant to be”! replied. sat down beside her in the couch. “I’ve missed you”! He said looking at her. “I’ve missed you too ”! He put down his coffee and leaned in to kiss her. She kissed him back. stood up, “Come with me”! She said and pulled him up from the couch. “Where are we going”? He asked smiling sexy. “Where do you think, I’ve missed you and I want to show you how much”! replied and he followed her to the bedroom.
took a firm grip of the bottom of ’s shirt and slowly pulled it over his head causing her to look straight at his trained chest. She moved closer to him and began to kiss him along the collarbones, which caused him to throw his head back to give her more space. She then undid his belt and opened up his jeans and made them fall to the floor. moaned by her touch and slowly started to undress her as well. “You are so beautiful”! said kissing her on the neck. “God, I’ve missed this”! He said throwing her lightly on the bed, where he helped her off her underwear, he then dropped his boxers and climbed on top of her. “God you are beautiful”! moaned making laugh, “What”? He asked raising a brow. “You already said that”! smiled, “Well then I must be serious about it”! He said kissing her fully on the lips demanding access to her mouth with his tongue. His tongue met hers and they played for a little while making her moan against his lips when he demanded access between her thighs. She loved the feeling of his hands all over her body again, she had missed the passion between them. “I need you so much”! He said. “You got me baby”! replied nuzzling his neck making Goosebumps appear on his skin. “You are driving me crazy”! He said speeding up the pace. clung to his body when they both reached their max moaning each others names collapsing on the bed. “You are…so…perfect”! panted. “So are you ”! said laying her head on his chest, she loved the feeling of him, but she knew the timing wasn’t right.
The next morning looked at sleeping. He smiled to himself as he remembered the night before, “I love you so much”! He whispered. turned around. “Morning to you too babe”! She said smiling. “Morning, I didn’t know you were awake”! He said smiling. “Well I am and I love you too”! She replied. “I want to be able to wake up with you when ever I feel like it”! He said kissing her lightly on the lips. “Well you can stop by anytime”! said cuddling up to him. “I was hoping that you might consider moving in at my place”! said looking her straight in the eyes, while stroking her arm. smiled at him, “Well, erm, I am flattered, really and believe me, I would love to, but I am in the middle of a divorce and so are you. My kids are just getting used to their parents being apart, I really don’t think that this is the right moment for us to move in together, no matter how much we love each other”! said stroking his cheek. looked down and sighed. “I…erm, well I guess you are right, I just wish you would, the girls could have their own rooms”! He said trying to convince her that moving in together was the right thing to do. “I know sweetie and with time that might happen, now they just need to get used to the divorce”! “I know, I don’t want to pressure you”! He said turning to his back, “, I just need time”! “From me or”? He asked sitting up swinging his legs to the floor. crawled across the bed and flung her arms around him from behind, “No silly not from you, I need time before I tell the girls about the two of us and about the 4 or 6 of us moving in together, I hope you can understand that”! “Yeah”! He said looking down, “I understand”! He then cupped her hands with his own. “It’s just that…”! “I know ”! said cutting him short. He leaned his head back on her shoulder, “I’ve missed you so much and finally we can be together without hurting anyone and still I can’t have you”! “You can have me, but not official, not yet ”! said kissing his cheek. “I guess that’s better than not at all”! He replied. “I really hope so”! said giggling: “Of course it is”! He said turning his head and kissed her fully on the lips, “I love you”! said, “I love you too hun”! “We can make this work if we want to”! “We do”! He replied trying to smile.

“Is something troubling you ”? asked when they had met up in a café. “Just the thought about leaving here in London, what if this I just need time thing will make us drift apart”! asked looking down and taking a sip of his coffee. “Well if it does you weren’t meant to be together, she told you she loved you right”! “Yes”! said and a smile spread across his face. “Then I wouldn’t worry if I was you”! said returning his smile. “But stuff like this can take forever for the kids to get used to”! sighed again. “If you seriously want to be with her then you need to give her the time she asks for and you told me yourself that it was not time away from you it was time before you guys become official, you can see her every time you are off”! told him. “Yes if it fits with all our children”! said sad. “You don’t believe in this do you”? asked. “I want to, but it’s just hard”! “You can still text and call each other”! tried his best to cheer up his friend. “Yeah I guess you are right ”! said. “I am always right and you know that”! looked at him raising a brow, “Okay almost always right”! said and they both laughed.
“Looks cosy”! and looked up and stood in front of them”! “Sweets what are you doing here, I thought you were picking up the girls”! said surprised. “I have, they are sitting over there drinking a hot chocolate, just heard my favourite lad’s laughter and wanted to steal a tiny kiss”! said and stood up to give her a hug. “I am going to miss you so much”! He said smelling her hair. “Yeah I am going to miss you too babe, but we will figure out a way to make it work I promise”! She said stealing a kiss without the girls noticing. “Bye sweetie and nice to meet you again ”! “Nice to meet you too ”! said winking and she walked away. smiled at , “She seems ready to try and make it work”! “Yeah I guess I was over reacting”! “I guess you were”! said smiling happily at his friend. looked at and couldn’t help smiling, he then stole a glance of her and the girls sitting by the window looking out, he couldn’t wait for them all to become a family.

missed , he was right now in Ireland using some time with his daughters. Her own girls were sitting on the livingroom floor playing with their dolls, she loved them and knew that if she ever wanted to move in with she would have to take them away from London and their father. She had to talk it through with to make sure that they didn’t have to go through a custody case. She went to the kitchen where her phone was charging and called to invite him over for a chat. He agreed to come that afternoon, so had to clean up a bit.
“Mum someone’s knocking on the door”! yelled from the living room. “It’s your father, why don’t you open up”! said and ran to the door followed by where they threw them self around their dad’s neck. “So where is your mum at”? asked. “I’m in the kitchen”! yelled and was soon after joined by and the girls. “Hi…”! He said, “Hi…I am just making some coffee”! said smiling. “Sounds good, what’s so important that we had to talk today”? asked. “We need to talk about what we’ll do in the future”! said. “But first you sit down and girls why don’t you go into the livingroom and play with the dolls”? asked. “Okay mummy”! They both said and walked to the livingroom. “I just need to use the bathroom I’ll be right back.
sat looking around the kitchen, he had to admit that he was happy that she had called, he wanted to talk to her as well about their future, they might be able to fix their relationship and her and the girls might move back in with him. A phone started vibrating. “ your phone is ringing”? yelled. “Can you please pick it up and tell the person I’ll call them back”? said. “Sure”! said. “This should be interesting”! He said seeing ’s name flash on the screen.
“This is ’s phone, ’ speaking”! “I know who’s phone it is, but why are you picking it up”? said a bit annoyed. “Oh sorry, is in the bathroom, what can I do for you”? He asked. “You can first of all pass the phone to her”! said getting angrier by the second. “Can’t do, as I told you, she’s not here right now”! “What are you doing at her place, as far as I know it’s her turn to have the girls”! “You know a lot don’t you, well she called and invited me over for a chat”! said satisfied about the jealous sound in ’s voice. “A chat”? He asked confused. “Yes about our future, between you and I, we are making up, they will be back in our house in no time, sorry that she was leading you on”! said. “Who is it”? heard ’s voice. “Pass the phone NOW”! said. “No that’s okay, bye bye”! said and hung up.
sat on his patio looking at his girls playing on the grass. He loved them being around him and he wished they could be all the time and might felt the same about her girls, but why hadn’t she told him that she wanted out of what they got. He felt a tear running down his cheek.
“Who was that”? asked looking at . “That was ”! “What, why didn’t you pass me the phone”! said irritated. “I told him we were going to figure out our future together and that you guys were gonna move back in with me soon”! looked at with a look, which could kill. “But we are not”! She said. “What are we not”! asked. ’s phone vibrated. “Give me that”! said, gave her the phone and read the message. “Hi, I thought we could make it, but I guess you gave up, can’t believe I trusted everything you said”! sighed, but decided to call him later. “Thanks … is pissed now”! “So...”! “ I love him and I want to be with him. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about”! “So the two of us”! “There’s no us , we have the girls together that’s all, I love him”! looked down, “What is there to talk about then”! He asked. “ and I want to move in together, so I’ll take the girls to Ireland”! “WHAT…No way, their family is in London, all their friends”! He protested. “I am taking them to Ireland, like it or not, will be in London often so he can bring the girls, so you can spent time with them, I promise we will stop by as often as we can”! “What if I want the custody”! “Don’t do that to the girls, I’m begging you”! “I don’t like this one bit”! said sitting down on his chair. “I know and I am not doing it to punish you, I am doing it to make myself happy and the girls will be happier when I am happy”! “What about me then”? He asked. “You are a big boy, you can handle it”! “Yeah…well if I am on a business trip in Ireland I could stop by”! “I am sure you are welcome, but now you better get home I have a relationship I need to save”! said and followed him to the door. “I am sorry about that”! “Yeah I am sorry that I am taking the girls to Ireland, but there is no other way”! replied and said goodbye to .
“Where did dad go”? asked. “He had to go home, had some plans, well girls I need to make a phone call and then we are going to order a pizza”! “YEAHH”! Both girls screamed jumping up and down.
was now in the kitchen making dinner for him and the girls, they were sitting watching the little mermaid, which was ’s favourite movie. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and it was with mixed feelings he read her name.
“Yeah…”! He said, could hear on his voice that he wasn’t happy AT ALL. “…”! “Yes, what do you want”? He asked. “If I knew you were the one calling I wouldn’t have asked him to pick up the phone”! “But he did”! was very short from the head. “Yeah and I told him of, about what he said…”! “Is it true are you guys going to try again”? asked cutting her off. “No ”! “But he said…”! “Will you please let me finish”! said very frustrated by now. “Yes, sorry”! He said. “I told him that he had gotten it all wrong, the reason why I wanted him to stop by was to tell him something else”! “What did you want to tell him”? He asked. “That I am taking the girls to Ireland permanent”! “But…say that again”! said not believing his ears. “I miss you like crazy babe I can’t be without you anymore and I just wanted to talk it through with first, but I promised him that he could stop by whenever his job got him to Ireland”! “Yeah, yes of course…wow really”! He said sounding a lot more cheerful now. “Yes really”! “I love you sweets”! “I love you too ”!
“Are we going to Ireland”! couldn’t stop laughing when he heard the little girl ask her mum, he didn’t know which one of them it was, but he already loved them both. “Mum will explain, I just have to end this phonecall”! said. “…sorry about that”! “No problem, when are we going to move you girls”? “Thought about when you have a break next time”! “God I can’t wait”! said. “Neither can I”! replied. They soon ended the phone call and then went to have a long talk with the girls.

“”! yelled when he saw and the kids coming out of the airport terminal. started smiling and felt a tear running down her cheek, ran as fast as he could to them and picked her up spinning her around ending it with a kiss, making the girls laugh at them. “I can’t believe you are here”! He said kissing her once more. “And you young ladies I am happy to see you too”! He said smiling at the girls who just started to laugh again, “Girls say hello to ”! “Hello ”! They said in unison. “This weekend and will come by they are very exited to meet you girls”! said and they all walked to his car which was parked close to the entrance.
“Welcome to your new home”! said when he opened the door for the girls and to enter. “Wow, this is huge”! said looking around. “Why don’t we go upstairs I’ve chosen some rooms for you girls”! said and showed them up the stairs. looked around amazed, “This is really beautiful”! She whispered. “I’m glad you like it”! said putting his arm around her shoulder and kissing her on the cheek”! “I love it and I love you”! He opened the door, “I thought this could be ’s room it’s beside ’s”! He said and opened the door. “Oh my god, I love this room”! said and jumped to the bed and looked around. “Thank you ”! “You’re welcome princess”! giggled and followed the rest of them to the room he had chosen for . She was just as exited and gave a huge hug which touched him. He looked at , who had to admit that she as well was touched by this moment.
That night and sat relaxing by the fire after the girls had been tugged in, “Thanks for making the girls so happy”! She said smiling at him. “Nothing is good enough for neither one of my girls including you”! He said reaching her a small black box. “What is this”? She asked. “Open”! He said feeling his stomach flip over with excitement. opened but closed the box fast again before opening it again and then the tears streamed down her cheeks. “Is this what I think it is”! “Yes, sweetheart you made me so happy telling me you wanted to move in with me and I don’t care if our divorces haven’t gone through yet, I want to spend the rest of my life with you”! He then sat down on one knee in front of her, “ will you do me the honour of becoming Mrs. , please sweetheart, will you be my wife, I love you”! was crying heavily now. “Yes, yes of course I will ”! said and cupped his face in her hands and leaned in to kiss him fully on the lips. He then took the diamond ring from the little box and slipped it on her finger, “Now I am official the happiest man alive”! “God how long have you been planning this”? asked. “I bought the ring the day after you told me you were bringing the kids over here permanent, we are meant to be together”! “I know we are”! said stroking her belly. looked down at her hand, he hadn’t even noticed the little bump showing, “Are you…are we…really”! He asked feeling the happiest man ever when he saw her nodding. They were ready to start a new life together, a life that would be complete when their little one would arrive.
The End.
