Chapter53

Blake

She blinked at me a few times before saying "Why now all of a sudden?" I noticed her nervousness.

"You don't need to worry. I'll be the only one to bite you" I stated and she slapped my shoulder playfully earning a chuckle from me.

"I've a surprise for you once we reach my home"  I said thinking about Toby.

She didn't say anything and kept gazing out of window "We're here baby" I said parking my car in front of my mansion.

Getting down I walked to her side and opened the door for her, she slowly stepped out looking at the building in front of us "Come on" I took her hand and dragged her inside.

As we're waiting for the door to open I noticed her fidgeting fingers "Shall we head back?" I asked in a whisper.

She shook her head telling me it's okay and that she wants to meet them, I smiled at her strained face and glanced at the door which is opened by my step mother. She stared at me and then to Evelyn "Hi" I greeted and she stepped aside for us to enter.

"Blake, Is this your girlfriend?" Tatiana asked slightly curious.

"Yeah. Evelyn she's Tatiana my step mother and..." I looked at Tatiana "She's Evelyn my girlfriend" I introduced them.

Evelyn brought her hand out but to our surprise she hugged her tightly almost squeezing the life out of her. My girlfriend recovered from the shock and hugged her back "It's nice to finally meet you girl" they pulled away.

She smiled at her and glanced at me before being dragged away by Tatiana "Take a seat. I'll be back"  She disappeared into kitchen.

"What's the surprise you're talking about previously?" She asked as soon as I sat across her.

"You'll know... Stay patient" I told her and hoped Patrick should be at home so that she can meet him.

Just then I heard small footsteps coming down from stairs, Evelyn heard it too as she looked in that direction. We saw him running towards me "Big brother.... You came already" he said excitingly hugging my legs.

I took him in my arms and asked "When did you come from school?" 

"Just an houl ago..." he said cutely.. And his eyes fell on Evelyn.

She gave him a lovely smile and stood up beside me "Hi there. What's your name?"  she asked him to which he giggled and hid his face in my neck.

"Who's she Blake?" he asked still hiding from her.

Evelyn threw me a confused look to which I shrugged and whispered "He's shy around girls" she nodded still smiling and told him "I'm Evelyn. Your big brother's girlfriend"

He opened his eyes to take a look at her and finally stretched his arms towards her, she gladly took him into her arms and kissed his cheek. He giggled and replied "I like your friend big brother"

We laughed together, Tatiana came back with juice and gave our glasses. After a few minutes I noticed Toby running down the stairs and I took a glance at Evelyn who's asking Patrick about his kindergarten and his likes. He jumped on the couch and  went to sit on her lap beside my brother "Hi....?" she looked up at me.

"Toby"  I gave her a small smile.

"Hi Toby. Nice to meet you" she said and shook his leg. Cupping his face she stroked his collar, her fingers went down and caught the silver ring "What is this?" she wondered and leaned down to get a good look. He licked her face to which she giggled wiping with her hands and went back to inspect the thing.

Her eyes went wide recognizing the same silver ring with words EV on it. She glanced at me with wide eyes and I gave her my usual charming smile "Just say this is all my dream..."  she muttered looking between me and Tatiana who looked as confused as her.

I took Toby, placing him on my lap and ran my fingers on the ring "No. He's here with you, I took him on that day" I revealed and she gasped "H-how?" 

I noticed her face went from shock - disbelief - amazement - joyous. She stared at me with her dazzling eyes and I know she has so many questions to ask me. I want to say that I'm not going anywhere and that I'll tell her everything but before she can ask anything. A voice interrupted us which is so familiar and sounded like my father "Who do we have here?" 

He said walking down and stood beside me looking at Evelyn who stood there nervously "Hello Mr Marquis. I'm Evelyn, nice to meet you"  she spoke bringing her hand out.

"I know. The one who got bullied in her sophomore year and have to take bed rest for two months. You should be the girl from his childhood who stole my son's heart at a little age"  he shook her hand.

I noticed her body tensed when he mentioned about her sophomore year, it must be still a sore topic to her. I still remember how I bet those idiots for torturing her, if it isn't for Harry, Nate I'd have killed Brat at that time and I don't forget the scoldings I got from father..

"I'm glad at last we met properly Miss Voltaire"  he said with a warm smile and she look fazed by it but nonetheless smiled back.

"Please sit down. I've some work to do,you guys carry on" he patted my back and left to his study.

She let out a long sigh and Patrick dragged her to entertainment room saying she should play video game with him. I chuckled and followed them with Toby, I asked Tatiana to come with me but she refused saying she had to prepare lunch for us...

As soon as we entered inside, she turned to me and snatched Toby from me "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" she asked giving me a hard look.

"I wanted to give you surprise" I answered her pecking her cheek.

"Come on guys" he called us from the big couch which lied in front of the big screen.

He connected it and took a joystick while handing Evelyn another one which she inspected carefully studying the writings on it. He put on the NFS and they started playing, at first she got confused by the controls but once they're cleared she beat him in all rounds and he stared at me disappointed...

"Can I take your place?" I asked him in whisper. He nodded vigorously and handed the joystick to me with a grin.

"Get ready to lose" I said to her and she shrugged. We fought the race and at last I won... "Yeah. We won" Patrick jumped on the couch and hugged me "Let's play again" he suggested.

"I don't wanna lose again" she stated giving me an angry look.

"Pwease pwease Everyn... Just one time" he pleaded her giving puppy eyes. She melt down and gave up smiling, nodding unsurely.

I won the next round too, she threw the control on table and glared at me folding her arms. I simply smiled at her in amusement "Come on. It's just a game" I said shifting closer to her.

"Then you shouldn't have bet me in second round" she shouted and turned away from me.

I was about to grab her but Patrick tugged my shirt "Do something Blake. She's so sad..." he whispered in my ear. I told him to go out for awhile and he did.

I touched her arm and she yanked it away, deciding on getting her to talk I started tickling her sides "S-stop stop it"  she started laughing and tilting her body awkwardly.

"Blake..." 

"Will y-you stop it!" 

"Aw..." 

"Blake!"  she yelled and I stopped this time.

She tried catching her breath but I  didn't give her enough time to do so as I already placed my lips on hers kissing them roughly. The past days investigating about the men who tried following us took a troll on me, I'm tired with my past haunting me. I took my peace in spending time with her and it always lead us to end up making out in her room or in my car.

She's my peace, my oxygen and my life...

Trailing away from her lips I bit her chin earning an yelp from her, pulling her on to my lap I let my hands to do their job underneath her top and on her bare thighs. Squeezing them with my hands I covered her mouth with my lips to stop the moan from escaping, pulling away I whispered "You should get more short skirts"

She look dazed but replied "I'll get mini ones then.." 

"No no. Only short cuts and that too wear them when I'm with you"  she nodded and I kissed her again, after a minute we heard someone knocking the door. She stopped kissing me back but I didn't and ignored the pounding "Big brother.. What are you guys doing there? You made up with Everyn right?"  we heard his cute voice.

Suddenly she pushed me away and asked "Is he outside - the whole time?" 

I nodded and she hit my chest making me to groan "Why didn't you tell me before? What does he think of us... Letting him wait outside while we're doing stuff"  she got up from her position to pull her top down.

"He's still a kid, we can't do these things in front of him that's why I let him out for a minute" She slapped my arm hardly this time.

"What has gotten into you? You're hitting me a lot these days.." I whined squinting my eyes at her. She gave me an apologetic glance and walked to the door, she looked back to me and I shook my head telling her not to open but being her - she gave me a sweet smile and opened it.

Kneeling down in front of him, she hugged him and pecked his right cheek "You're not angry at me?" he asked blinking at her.

Shaking her head she replied "No I'm not"  he smiled at her resulting her to ruffle his hair "You're so cute Patrick" 

"No. I'm not cute.. I'm handsome!" saying this he left giggling at his own words. She blinked staring at his place which was occupied a second before "No wonder he's your brother. Arrogant, cocky, handsome and hot..."  she rolled her eyes standing at her place.

I walked up to her with a smirk playing on my lips "Don't forget that you like this irresistible arrogant guy" I reminded her pointing a finger at my face.

Ignoring my comment she took my hand and asked "You guys didn't have a clean talk right?"

My face went hard instantly knowing well that she's talking about me and my father. I looked away shaking my head "Why?" she asked

"He left me to dwell in my own sorrow when mom passed away, I hate him still now!" I stated clenching my jaw.

"I can say he's one of the reasons I changed into the whole different person from my original self" my nose flared thinking at those bad days.

I felt her hands cupping my face, bringing me to look at her blue eyes "Blake... Why don't you just talk with him. I'm sure he had some reasons" 

I didn't say anything and she continued "Promise me that you'll sort this out as soon as possible"  I nodded my head thinking I've to do this after coming back from vacation.

Leaning down I pecked her forehead "Blake... Evelyn.. Lunch is ready. Be down in five minutes"  we heard Titiana's yells.

"Come on let's go" she said pulling away.

I stopped her holding her wrist, she turned to me raising an eyebrow "We still have five minutes left cupcake"  I told smirking at her.

"For what?" she asked confused while I shut the door behind her.

"For this" I stated pinning her on to the same door and kissing her lips.
