CHAIRWOMAN’S OFFICE>
Mavis walked in slowly and met Mrs Gregor pacing around.
It’s expected since she lost to Mavis this time around.
“You lost again” she said, and he only kept quiet.
“First was to Dylan, for Donni, and now you lost to Midas for Fritz?, What the hell is wrong with you Mavis!, Why were you doing rubbish during the finals?, What has gotten into your head!” She shouted, and he sighed.
“Is that all you have to say?” He asked.
“What!”
“Then I’m off, I’m not in the mood for your rants today” he replied and walked out of the office.
“Gosh… he’s pissing me off” she muttered, falling back on her chair.
Her phone rang immediately, it’s Zayn.
“What?” She asked after swiping green.
“My informant just found out the daughter is here in Australia” Zayn replied, and her eyes widened.
“What!”
•••
Mavis got to his car and got a stick of cigar which he lightened and started smoking immediately, and as he smoked, tears came out of his eyes massively.
He rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes, but the tears still kept trickling out of the corners of his eyes as he smoked hurtfully, replaying the scene at the hallway earlier in his head.
Delaney has a child for Dylan?, They’re automatically a couple?
He dived his fingers into his hair crazily, roughing it madly as he took another puff from his cigar.
He released the smokes through his nostrils this time, and his phone rang.
He picked when he saw the number.
“You sent more than the amount i charged you for the kidnap, was it a mistake or intentionally?” The voice asked.
“f-__-k off!!!” He shouted and threw his phone away, he threw away his cigar too and rested his head on the wheel as fresh tears escaped his eyes.
“Delaney…” He cried hotly.
•••
The house was already a beehive of activities at daybreak. Summer and Mrs Bills plus the three newly hired maids are working in the kitchen, baking homemade cakes.
Sweeney’s cake is ready, baked by Mrs Bills.
It’s a pink coloured one with sprinkles of shines and white, then Mrs Bills baked a crown on it.
SWEENEY BILLS @ 1 was written boldly around it.
The maids are busy baking the white and red velvet cake for Valentine’s, but Sumner is busy with Delaney’s cake.
Andy sneakily took from the prepared icing, and Summer was about to hit his hand when he ran away.
“Sneaky thief!” Summer rolled eyes.
“It’s my Laney crush’s cake, so I have every right to steal” he laughed, licking his fingers.
“The guests will soon be here, make it fast Sumner” Mrs Bills said.
They’re actually having an house party for mother and daughter.
“Sure mum, I wanna make the cake as pretty as Delaney” Summer replied.
“Why aren’t they awake yet?, I wanna play with Sweeney” Andy pouted.
•••
Delaney’s eyes are still closed, she’s still sleeping peacefully on the bed, same with Sweeney who’s sleeping beside her, but Dylan isn’t asleep anymore,. He’s laying beside the both, staring at them with a smile on his handsome face.
To him, they’re the two things he’s gonna be living for, from now on.
They’re his life, his world, his everything.
Meeting them made him the man he is right now, he’s gonna cherish and pamper them for the rest of his life.
Sleeping beside them last night was so good that it felt unreal when he woke up this morning, it was blissful.
He kissed Sweeney’s forehead first, then he kissed Delaney’s.
Before he could raise his head from Delaney, Sweeney’s eyes were already open.
“Sweet” he smiled, carrying her in his arms.
“How was your night?” He asked as if she could talk.
“Did you sleep well?” He asked again, and she smiled.
“I love you so much Sweet” he said and kissed her cheeks.
“Happy birthday darling, daddy is gonna spoil you today, real bad” he said, and Sweeney smiled again.
“My daughter is so cute!” He said, brushing his nose on her small nose.
“My cute little thing” he said, kissing her nose.
All these while, Delaney was already awake, staring at dad and daughter while smiling.
“Don’t worry, all the times I failed to spend with you, I’ll make it up to you baby, everything ok?” He said, kissing her chin.
“I’m jealous” Delaney finally talked, and Dylan looked at her fast.
“You’re awake” he smiled, and she sat up immediately.
“Happy birthday baby girl” she said, giving Sweeney a peck on the right cheek.
Dylan kissed the left cheek, and they laughed before letting go, then Summer came in without knocking.
“Time to give privacy to mummy and daddy, Sweeney” she said and carried her.
Without saying another thing to Dylan and Delaney, she took her away.
Dylan sighed and started fidgeting again, not knowing where to start from.
Delaney kept staring into space, expecting him to speak.
Three minutes went by, but nothing came from him, so she sighed.
“I’ll go take my bath” she said and made to climb down the bed, but he held her back.
“Wait” he said and climbed down instead.
Delaney’s eyes followed him, and she was surprised to see colourful things sitting on the dressing table, like bouquets and a single rose, then several boxes and all.
He went for the first box and brought it to her.
She took it and opened it slowly.
It contains several apology letters.
“They’re the remaining apology letters, I wrote them all night” he said, and her eyes widened.
“The remaining apology texts, is already on your phone” he said, and she checked immediately.
Indeed, her phone is full of I’M SORRY texts from him.
“The remaining public apologies, I promise to do them everyday till it ends, Dela” he said, staring deeply into her beautiful eyes.
Delaney was speechless as he went back to the dresser and brought the bouquet of flowers and another box.
She handed the flower to her, and surprisingly, it smells exactly like him
She loved it immediately.
“Happy birthday, Dela” he said, and she smiled prettily as he gave her the box too.
She opened it, and right there are three necklaces which has letters SDD as the pendants.
“It means… Sweeney, Delaney, Dylan as one” he said.
“They’re so gorgeous” Delaney muttered admiringly, looking him as he stood and went for the single rose.
Her eyes kept following him till he came back to her and went on a knee beside the bed.
“I don’t know if I deserve this…. but….. Dela, please….be my… Val” he asked nervously, and she blinked once, watching his nervous self…
He was shaking obviously.
“Why?” She asked, and he bit his lip slowly, finding it hard to say.
“Seems you’re not ready” Delaney said and climbed down the bed, then she started walking out of the bedroom.
“I love you!, Dela” he shouted, but her name came quietly.
Delaney smiled before stopping, and she looked back slowly.
He’s still on his knees, holding the single rose.
She walked to him and took the rose. His eyes brightened and he stood, but she dropped the rose on the bed immediately.
She grabbed his shirt in the front and pulled him into the bathroom, then they went under the shower together, and she turned the faucet.
Water started pouring on their bodies, and Delaney pulled his shirt off his body in a second, then she smiled naughtily.
“I love you too, Dylan” she whispered, and Dylan’s eyes widened uncontrollably.
Did she really just say that?
“Dela…
“I wanna Mõ@ɲ your name again at the feel of your lips” she whispered, locking eyes with him.
“f-__-k, Dela…” He muttered before lifting her off the ground.
Her legs belted his waist and her arms wrapped around his neck.
Dylan’s hands held her hips so s*xily, and their lips stayed in front of each other as the water kept wetting them.
“Bad boy” she whispered seductively.
“Bad boy’s addiction” he replied in the most silent whisper before crashing his soft lips on her temptingly wet lips.
Their eyes went shut, their breaths collided, their souls became one, their hearts intertwined…..and immediately their tongues met, their bodies sparked…
Her back hit the wall, and they went crazily high on each other over, over…
Over…
And over again.
