Kate
Next morning, I woke up and found my left side empty. Where’s Alex? It’s Saturday. He normally takes a day off. But what if he went to office. Shit. I get up from bed suddenly.
Even Alex told me not to stress out, but old habits don’t die. I was still in my night dress and in my hurry, I forgot to grab my coverall.
The house looks quite for some odd reason. I rubbed my temple and was confused. I can’t hear Aria cries. Surprisingly, I slept the whole night.
I looked at the time it’s 11am. Emma must be awake, but no sound is coming from her room. I checked her room and called her ‘Emma’, but she was not in the room. But confused me the most was Emma bed was made properly.
‘Where she is. Maybe she is with Alex or Martha’
But then I recall Martha stayed the whole night with us so she might have left early in the mornings she got another house to see.
My heart was beating fast. The unusual quietness of this house is making me anxious.
I then walked towards Aria nursery. I opened the door slowly and switched on the lights and then I stopped in the middle. I started trembling as Aria was not in her coat.
I put my hand on her chest. Oh my god. Where’s Aria? Martha is not here, and Alex will never take Aria out then who took her.
I yelled Alex name and run downstairs ‘ALEX…. ALEX where are you’
Then I found Alex in the kitchen…. making breakfast?
What’s happening here?
Alex looked back and gave me his charismatic smile, but his face dropped when he saw me in panic. He ran towards me ‘Hey Hey. Are you OK? Why are you looking so scared?
I pointed up and fumbled ‘Girls…. Emma and Aria … I can’t find them … I though Emma. was with you but then Aria room was also empty, so I become very frighten … Alex where are my girls?” I was shaking so badly
He rubbed my arms and hugged me ‘ssh. It’s OK, God you are shaking so bad. Come sit down first.” He put me on the near sofa while holding me.
‘You were sleeping so peacefully I don’t want to disturb you otherwise I would have awakened you and let them girls meet you.’
I shake my head in confusion ‘where are they Alex?’
”My mom took them. I called her and told them that you need some rest and time for yourself. They will stay the night. Look at yourself you look so weak and what happened yesterday I don’t want you to get exhausted like that’ he touched my face”
My eyes were bulging out. I removed his hand and stood up ‘what? you called your mom? Oh my god Alex what your parents will be thinking about me, what kind of mother I am, that I can’t even take care of my kids and I have to send them away. And what Emma would be thinking you know she is growing up and little sensitive too about me and Aria she is teething, and she needs feeding, and she will cry … (I touched my head) they must be thinking that what a mess I’m’
Alex gave me a hard look like he was upset and grabbed my arm and let me sit on his lap. ‘Are you done? Or you need to be more miserable. Listen to me OK My parents consider you a better human and parent as compared to me. My mom adores you and you know that. And about girls they were excited that they were going to their grandparents. Aria was incredibly happy too. She is attached to mom and dad. You know that too and Mom took Aria’s milk bottle and other stuff. And about you? Kate, I’m a bigger mess than you. Don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t exhaust yourself with such expectations. I told you a night ago don’t do it to yourself. I know I’m also responsible for this, but I won’t do it again OK. Secondly, I need to spend some time with you alone. We never did that before’
I look down. He is right. I always do this. Always ready to think worse about me. And this is the first time we are spending alone time with each other ‘I’m sorry I overreacted but you should have told you at night. And what were you doing in the kitchen?’ I inquired from him
He smirks ‘why don’t you think I can’t cook’
I crack a smile ‘I believe you can boil water. And I never saw you cooking it’s not your style ‘
He touches my lips ‘keep pouting like that and I will tell you what’s my style. Yes, I don’t cook because I never need to and I’m no where a good cook like you, but I can fry eggs and make some coffee for my sexy wife who by the way looks irresistible in her baby-doll nighty’ he put the thin straps of my nighty down.
I was feeling hot, and it had nothing to do with the weather. It was Alex’s heated eyes and seductive hands. I stand up quickly and give him a sly smile ‘oh no we are not going there. You cooked breakfast for me then we will have breakfast’
He sighs in frustration and tries to grab me, but I was fast and ran to the kitchen and started giggling ‘Kate you can’t do this to me.’ he complains and runs after me.
We were acting like kids running and finally he grabbed me from behind ”gotcha….’ and start kissing me neck and touch me backside
I screamed ‘Alex… no ‘ and I did something unexpected. I tickled his stomach and he left me.
I start laughing when I see Alex’s stunned expression ‘oh someone is ticklish’ and I start imitating my fingers that I’m going to tickle him again.
He smirks ‘oh you want to go there. OK let’s see who is more ticklish’
He is using my trick. He walked towards me, and I walked backward.
I grabbed the pillow and threw at him ‘don’t you dare Alex. ‘
But this time before I could run, he grabbed my arms and pushed it on my back. And he slowly ran his finger and winked at me.
I can’t control it anymore and start giggling so loud ‘Alex no…. please… no. Oh god… OK sorry sorry’
I was laughing so bad that tears started falling. And we both fell on the rug near the fireplace.
Alex was also laughing hard but something passed in his eyes, and he looked at me deeply like he was seeing me for the first time. And He stopped tickling me and touched my face tenderly. I was puzzled and a little scared that our moment is gone.
I cautiously said ‘A… Alex? What happened?’
He started running his fingers on my hair and said ‘You happened. Do you know you got the most beautiful angelic laugh. And your giggles are so soothing like it takes away all my worries and all my miseries. And you know what makes me so happy I’m the one who is making you laugh like that.’
This is the first time and maybe the last Alex said something so deep and loving to me. His eyes are telling me that I’m so important to him that he can’t imagine a life without me.
I know it’s my wishful thinking and I could be wrong here but my heart my stupid heart is beating so hard like its begging me to say it to him that You love him. But then I thought about Aria. Maybe with time he will accept her and love her too like he accepted me.
But knowing I’m stretching it too far, so I gasped in surprise and said truthfully’ Alex… you make me happy. When you are happy then I; m happy’
He closed his eyes like he was saving this in his memory and then he kissed me hard and we both in a hurry removed each other’s clothes and got lost in each other.
……………………………………………………………………………….
Alex
I’m in peace.
After a long time, I’m feeling content. I watched Kate lying with me on the sofa and I’m spooning her from behind and we are watching some old romance movie.
When was the last time I watched a movie, especially a romance one? Not one I can remember. Even with Emily I never had this leisure time. Like me, Emily also doesn’t like romance movies and honestly speaking we both got busy with life.
But it was Kate’s childlike request to spend our day like a normal couple watching movies and cleaning the kitchen. A usual thing which is very unusual for me.
But I’m enjoying every minute with her. I kissed her head absently and she passed me a sweet smile.
I run my fingers on her hairs ‘I can’t believe it how you let me agree to watch a romance movie.”
She was engrossed ”ssh don’t be a fun killer. You are also enjoying it”
‘I enjoyed what we did before breakfast and in the shower’ I seductively said and touched her legs. Thank God she is wearing a white sundress
She blushed and hit my hand ‘we can’t do this all day. It rare we got free alone time so we should do different stuff’
I snuggled her and inhaled her sweet fruity smell ‘I can do different stuff with you’
She smiles but then hit me again’ Ssh let me watch the movie’
But then an intimate scene came, and Kate became so red in a comical way. I was fascinated by this woman. She turned her face to my chest like she was hiding.
I chuckled ‘I can’t believe you. You are blushing over this scene. The things we did an hour ago were more explosive …
‘Alex… stop it. I know the things you did to me’
But I like teasing her ‘I can do more if you like and secondly the things you did to me should I list them.”
She grabs the remote and pause the movie ‘Aaaand we are done with the movie (she scorned at me) and don’t make me sound like… like
I raise my brow ‘like…’
She was blushing so hard ‘like…. like your old college girlfriends. Who used to oh and ah whenever you are there. I have seen them how they used to act in the class whenever you come to lecture’
I was little stun ‘you remember our masters days?”
Kate and I used to be in the same university but being her senior, I rarely see her as we used to have different classes.
Kate sat on her knees and tugged her hair begins her ears nervously ‘hmm… yeah… who forgets their university days’
I pinched her nose ‘but you were noticing me’ I teased her
She gasps ‘no… no I was not…. or even I was you surely don’t notice anyone especially me even we met couple of times’
Now I was frowning at her ‘okkkk I never did that to you just give me a benefit of doubt and secondly we met properly it was random passing, but we never had an actual talk’
She sadly smiled ‘we did Alex. It was you who started the talk. I don’t know if you remember or not, but I remember clearly that day you were coming with your friends and one of them knocked me down on the stairs and you saved me from falling. You stopped by and started talking to me and told me that I got an enchanting smile.’
I was stunned. I can vaguely remember what I said ‘ohhhh you do have an enchanting smile now you’re telling me I can remember. I think you were reading some book’
She shrugs ‘anyway it was a long time ago. But like I said you were quite famous, and you knew it’
Kate tries to lighten up the mood.
‘What can I say? I was very charming. ‘I winked
She rolls her eyes ‘yeah right’
But I need to ask her ‘but you were always in the background why is that so. You were Evan’s Daughter. Emily was the topper of the university. Your dad invested big funds in that university, but I never saw you in Alumina dinners, functions or even in normal uni-parties. You… were kind of living in your own bubble why is that so’
She looked awkward ”you know why I was not a social butterfly like Emily and parties were not my scene. ‘
‘What about those annual functions hosted by your family? Your family was involved in those university functions.’
Kate pale skin turn pink like she was embarrassed ‘I… was not invited’
I laughed ‘what are you saying’
She looked away and got a distant look ‘My father doesn’t want me to embarrass his family name. He told me it’s a blessing that I even got enrolled in the MBA program, but he does want his less qualified and dumb daughter influence on Emily future. He was kind of right too. I was not good in studies and finance and other business studies was not my cup of tea. And secondly, they were so boring functions I was happy that I’m not going’ she pass me a fake smile
My heart breaks for this woman. How come his own father can’t love her. Illegitimate or not she was his blood and flesh. And it’s not that Kate was an ungrateful spoiled brat; she got an old soul so perfect and so kind. Her bleeding heart and unforgiving nature makes her the most special and vulnerable creature I have ever met then how Ryan Evan never accepted her.
But the moment that thought came my shame and hypocrisy also hit me hard. That’s exactly what I’m doing with Aria. A small baby who has been punished without any reason.
Ryan Evan punished Kate for his own sin and never accepted his daughter because he already had a daughter. Oh god I’m just like him.
I looked at Kate who was also lost in own thoughts but unlike my own selfish thoughts she is reliving the painful memories.
I break the silence ‘tell me about your childhood.?’
She looked a little surprised by my sudden question ‘my childhood? (she laughs nervously) what do you want to know?’
I caress her face ‘anything… I don’t know anything about your childhood at all. All I can imagine you in your cute little frock, ballet shoes and pigtails. But I want to know from you how my sexy wife was’ I tease her kissed her neck
But Kate’s melancholic expression and still body was telling me it was not a good one. I don’t why her silence is so heartbreaking. It was telling me everything without words.
She sighs and looks away ‘I never wore ballet shoes because I never went to any of the ballet classes. Even Emily insisted dad to let me go cause according to her I was good but that was a moot point I was not allowed to go outside the house even. I was homeschooled because …. you know because of my problem’
I sit up and said, ‘your problem?’
She touches her head ‘my panic attacks…. mom and dad don’t want anyone to know I got this problem. After my mother and grandpa died and When I started living with dad my attacks were much worse than today. They were frequent and they can come anytime no matter whether my day’s good bad, tiring, or happy’
Something moves in my heart, and I felt such a ping like its hurting me too ‘if they were so bad then why you don’t get any treatment. I’m sure even at that time a good doctor consultation can help you’
She sadly smiles like I don’t get it ”Alex… I told you my parents don’t want anyone to know about my problem. Once I had it in front of mom guests, They said something to me I don’t remember but it was something about my birth mother and something triggered me and it was so bad that my jaw was locked but mom told dad that I’m trying to embarrassed them in front of the world so as a punishment they locked me in my room. I knew that day I would die because my locked jaw and continuous shivering was choking me. I knew… (she snips) I knew I would be free from this hell but somehow Emily opened the door and when she saw me, she called the doctor, and they treated me. From that day It was known that I had an anxiety disorder. And knowing a daughter of Evan family even an illegitimate one got this problem will affect our name so from that day I was homeschooled until I was in university’
Kate’s tears were boiling my blood. What kind of parents they were. How can somebody do that. But then my inner conscience hit me-what kind of parent I am too Aria?
I hugged her and kissed her slowly ‘hey I’m sorry so sorry Kate you must go through this. It was unfair to a child. Sorry that I brought this topic. But you must have some happy memories right’
She put her head on my chest. ”Any moment with Emily was a happy one. She was the only person who loved me so much. It got sometime lonely when Emily. and my parents wants to vacation and came back after months but Emily make sure to bring me gifts and share her experience with me’
It was now shocking ‘what you mean? They used to leave you all alone? You don’t go with them?
She shakes her head ‘I wasn’t allowed. After the diagnosis of my attacks, I was told that I should stay home. Mom wanted to have a family time and Dad wanted to protect his family name from another shame’
I cursed loudly ‘Fuck Kate…. they are arseholes. you know that. You are perfect no matter what they say, or do you are an amazing and the strongest person I know. I swear to God I want to kill them’
She looked up and smiled softly. ‘You won’t to do anything and knowing you felt that for me took all the pain away.’ she kissed me cheeks
Oh god. This woman and her kind heart will break me one day.
‘Come on, get ready, we are going out for dinner?’ I said it out of nowhere
‘What now? It’s too early don’t you think’
She got a point ‘well I finally got alone time with you so I thought I will take to your favourite. restaurant’
She gave me a comical look ‘ And what my favourite. restaurant?’
Shit. I really don’t know ‘I know your favourite. food is Mexican so I can find something. I will surprise you.’ I picked her up and she giggled
‘OK … what still it’s too early’
I smirk ‘I know, and I got a plan’
She looks suspicious ‘And where this plan is taking us’
‘To our bedroom’ I passed her heated look
…………………………………………………………..
Kate
I will never forget this day. It was the best day of all. I got Alex for myself. And he was so damn caring, so loving towards me.
My heart was on cloud nine. After almost cancelling our dinner plans as you know we left our bedroom, and he took me to a breathtaking Mexican restaurant.
I know he don’t like Mexican food, but he does that because of me… made me fall in love with him all over again. No one ever made me feel this special again.
After talking with the girls on video chat and seeing both my world looking so happy with their grandparents put me in ease. Even Aria was looking so fresh and so happy.
Alex’s dad was holding her and looked at her with such adoration and love that it made me teary. My Aria never had this affection from any male figure in her life that includes Alex and my dad.
But Alex’s mom told me how she already wrapped Alex’s dad on his little finger. Just like I did with my grandpa.
Alex looked a little strange too when he saw the moment. For a moment I thought he was jealous of his father but then he ended the call by saying he needed to make an important call.
It hurt me but I know one day he will change his mind. I know he will.
I went outside our swimming area. I always visit with girls during summer days. But at nighttime it’s quiet and the scenic moon light is tempting me to take a leap.
As I’m treating myself with good vibes today, so I thought why not enjoy this.
As hardly anyone came here. I removed my sundress and, in my bras, and panties I jumped in the water. I shivered a little and laughed a little.
I felt so good. I should do so more often. I closed my eyes to feel the waves.
But then I heard Alex hard edge voice ‘Kate what the hell are you doing here’
I flinched so bad that I almost drowned myself and then I turned to look at him. He was still wearing the dress shirt.
I swim towards him ‘Alex… I thought you were busy in a call’
He glared ‘so you thought to pass here naked outside where anyone can see you. Guards can see you!’
He is being ridiculous ‘Seriously Alex no one is here. I checked before jumping and I’m not naked OK I’m wearing my lingerie. See”. I stand on the pool stairs.
And he did look as he was hungrily looking at me ‘I never see you like this’
I blushed ‘of course you did. Almost every night you saw me much lesser than this’
He slowly walks towards me ‘yes but not like this. When moonshine is gracing your irresistible body. You look breathtaking’
I give him a shy smile ‘really, I do. So, what you are thinking?”
He touched my waist ‘you know what I’m thinking. Come on we are going inside right now’ he growled
But I got another idea ‘You know what I’m thinking….’ I kissed his neck that I know drive him crazy
‘Hmm I don’t want to know because I can show you’
But before he could do anything else I pushed him in the pool that surprised both of us.
I couldn’t control myself and laughed hard. He yelled ‘Kate…. dam it’
I was still laughing ‘what??? You disturbed my swim time, so you deserve it, and don’t you think today we cross her limit of love making’
He was not laughing, and my heart stop shit did I say something wrong. But out of nowhere he picked his leg and splash!
‘So, you were saying something? What was it about? ohhh yes, our limit?’ He grabbed my both arms and start removing my bra straps
I was shocked what he was doing ‘Alexxxx…… What you’re doing stop it…. I will be totally naked what if someone see me’
‘Oh, now you care…. and yes, I want you naked… you should have thought this before pushing me in the pool.’
He then threw my bra outside the pool and kissed my breasts. I moaned loudly
He hushed me ‘shh quite…. not a sound… I don’t want the world to hear what my wife’s sexy moans’
He then removes his shirt and pant in one go I don’t know how he did it
He told me to wrap my legs on his waist ‘Alex… lets got inside… I can’t…. I can’t keep quiet you know that’
He smirks ‘well you need to try then’
He then himself wrap my legs on his waist ‘now we are talking’
We both were hot and bothered. Then he removed my panties and his boxer and enter me such force that I shouted his name
He bites my neck ‘shh …. be quite’
He was enjoying my misery, so I grabbed his shoulder and marked his back with my nails. He growled and started thrusting inside me hard and fast.
Then we both reached our climax and we both were not that quiet.
After a few seconds. I pushed him ‘you are insatiable you know that. Oh god if somebody heard us… what they will think about us’
He got a dreamy smile ‘to hell with them. And you make me insatiable. You know today was the best day for me. I was so happy after such a long time. Kate I… you are lovely.’
My heart burst out because he was looking at me that he can’t live without me.
We both went inside the house like a happy couple.
And later the night I prayed to God to make everything OK for my Aria too and we all can live as a happy family.
