Guests At The Rickelle's
The house is a bit silent when we get home.
I realise what we've done. We left Charlotte with Elizabeth, she probably killed her.
I chuckle at my own thoughts.
"You know I can carry him." I tell Nate, while he carries my son in his arms.
"Why? he's my son too." He says jokingly and I only chuckle.
We walk up from the gallery and all the way up to Ethan's room.
We tuck him in. I smile as I watch the two.
I walk over to cover him properly with they blanket.
I kiss his forehead. And for a second I forget that we have company.
"I love you so, so much baby. You are my everything." I say then I move his bronze hair to kiss it.
Nathan is smiling at the doorway. I walk out to the bedroom and be follows suit.
"I'm going to wash off the dye." He says pointing to his head.
"Why did you dye it in the first place?" I ask. He smiles.
"I had a photoshoot but I also wanted to try something new. But it wears off ." He shrugs.
He is in the shower for almost half an hour before he leaves the shower.
He must have forgotten that I'm in the room as his waist is covered with a towel. He walks to the closet and changes.
He sits next to me and removes the towel.
I'm not focused on the reveal, but instead on his tanned and muscular body. He is so dreamy.
"Eyes up here sun flower." He says and I look up to see his smirking face.
I realise that his hair is bronze as well but a shade lighter than Ethan's . I've seen this exact colour somewhere.
"So? Am I the man of your dreams now?" He asks and I laugh.
"Not even a chance." I say sarcastically. He laughs and I join.
I am laughing had and he is staring at me do so. I almost miss the words he murmurs.
"God, I love that sound." He whispers under his breathe.
I smile and I head to the shower. I change into pyjama shorts and his hoodie and I lay on his bed.
Soon sleep engulfs me. I can hear the lull sound of the thunder. But needless to say I fall asleep.
I wake up to whispers but I keep my eyes closed.
"Do you think she's going to wake up?" Ethan asks.
"If we're quiet enough." Nathan says back and they giggle.
They shuffle into the bed and sit together. I smile.
"Dad?" Ethan calls after a few seconds of silence.
"Hmm?" He answers.
"Do you love my mommy?" The liyylenguy asks.
There is a beat of silence and for a moment I think that he is not going to answer.
"Yes champ. She is my sun flower. " he whispers so lowely. I almost dont hear him.
And I know that is his intention. They chat more before I fall asleep.
I wake up early in the morning to the two guys who are cuddling and had me a part of the cuddle.
I smile at the sight.
I walk to the shower and I bathe, I wake my son up and I bathe him.
We prepare to head out but are met with Nathan's lazy smirk.
"Have fun." Is all he says.
We leave and Oscar drives us to the mansion. And with that we walk in to the house.
With a simple knock two women stand by the antic door. One of the faces I recognize.
"Gemmie!" She exclaims.
I pull her into a hug but Ethan tugs my hand.
"I want to see Pumpkin!" He whines.
I smile and let him run into the house with Soraya and I following closely behind. Unlike at Nathan's house, the first floor is not a gallery slash ball room. It is a large great room, dining room and kitchen.
There is so much to look at and so many emotions to feel when you look at the design. The way the woods compliments the fabrics used on the couch is astounding. I smile to my self.
Its little things like this that make me smile.
Soraya sits us on the informal lounge where a large wall sized TV is.
I smile.
"So how's the married life?" I ask her. Her smile grows.
"Oh it's been so amazing. And I know that I didnt love him at first, but now. I think I'm falling inlove with my husband." She says jokingly.
I laugh at her words before turning to stare at her.
"Spill the tea?" I ask scooting closer.
"My father is out of the hospital and in a good retirement home. Turns out, Richard calls in everyday to check on him and when he comes back from work, he passes by the home to see him." She says clutching her heart.
I smile at this. It's good that she is falling inlove with her husband. Irregardless how weird that sounds. I'd never have it any other way.
"So how about you. How is your hunka junk." She says fanning her face.
"Who Nathan?" I ask smiling. She nods like the hyenas from The Lion King.
"Oh we're fine." I conclude.
Her goofy grin falls.
"Just fine? Just fine! No way." She exclaims.
I hear giggles from the kitchen.
I smile at that.
"We are just fine. His ex moved back in with us." I say. The giggling comes to an abrupt stop, well half of it. The one that is coming from my son is still loud.
Soraya drawls a long gasp that I am afraid she might suck me into her mouth.
"Elizabeth Hart? Why is she back?" She bites out. Sorays isnt the nicest person I've met, but she never speaks of someone with so much distaste.
"I have no idea but she is also pregnant. And she threatened me." I say.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how to get Soraya Rickelle to explode.
"So she tryna pin the bump on Nathan? Oh come on we all know the baby daddy! And it ain't Nathan. And what the hell did she say to you?" She asks.
"She just said some stuff about me trying to steal Nathan from her." I tell her.
"What! She only got an interest in Nathan because of you! You guys have been making front page left and right with your tabloid pictures! I swear she's just jealous." She exclaims and I nod.
She is telling the truth, why else would she be back here.
Just as we're speaking, a woman walks in with Richard. In a blue dress, a Luis Vuitton scarf around her head and large sunglasses on her eyes. A huge bag covers her body so it's hard to tell who it is.
I stare at her. Something tells me I know her.
She and Richard walk upstairs.
It surprises me how okay Soraya is with everything. It's as if she didnt just witness her husband wheel in another woman.
In front of her.
What I do see is the now tensed Pumpkin.
But she quickly recovers and goes back to playing with my son.
"Dont let no white bitch take away anything that makes you happy Gemmie. You are a beautiful black woman and you are strong. And you deserve that sexy piece of meat." She says.
Practically growling the last part. She smiles.
Soraya is the only person in my life that is racially conscious. Well I understand because she is black and constantly reminded of it.
I smile at her. She moves on to talk about other things but my focus is on the colour of Pumpkin's hair.
It's oddly similar to hair I've seen somewhere.
I'm so mad at myself because the name is at the tip of my tongue.
