Belle’s POV
I just chuckle in response. I hugged them both tight while Im in the middle.
“You two look pleasant.” I said while inhaling deep their sexy scent.
“Must be because I jacked off to a picture of a sixteen year old you.” Said Nikolai while inhaling my hair. I really dont know if he is being serious or not.
“Nikolai, that’s just so wrong in so many levels.” I said as I look up to him. Im really starting to think that Nikolai is really sick in the head.
To my horror, Alexei pulled a picture of me when I was 16 wearing a one piece bathing suit, from his pocket.
“Where did you get that?”
“I have ways.”
More likely, these two took this picture from my mother’s collection of our pictures in our family photo album.
Alexei plants kisses on my neck while wrapping his hand around my hips. I looked around just to make sure that no one sees us. I glanced to the left and I see one of our help, gardening nearby.
“Alexei, perhaps when we go back to the land of the free and the home of the brave?”Alexei slowly halted but not without sighing in frustration. “I promise you can use my body in whatever you want as many times as you want when we get home.” I said just to make it up to him.
He looks at me and blinks. “Yah?” Said Alexei like a teenage boy.
“Uhuh, whatever you want, as many times as you want.”
A wicked smile slowly formed on his face. I pecked his right cheek, look around just to make sure no one is watching and quickly planted a kiss on his lips. “I love you.”
“I love you my princess.”
Alexei lets go of me and places his hands inside his pockets but did not remove himself away from us.
“Nikolai have you and ma talked?
“Yes, and I think she’s in love with me. I might marry her instead.”
A giggle escaped my mouth to Nikolai’s naughtiness.
“Yah? So that would make you my what? Step dad?”
“Exactly. Now bend over step daughter, step dad is gonna plow you down with my cock.”
I smack Nikolai on his shoulder while pushing my body close to him. Nikolai wraps his arms around me as he attempts to kiss me.
“If you love me, you should stop breaking my heart.” Said a very familiar voice from the back.
“If you love me, you must set me free.” I retorted.
When I turn around, my favorite cousin Devon is walking up to me. He just came out from his black shiny truck. He is wearing jeans and a white shirt with an insignia of the Palawi Marine Corp on the left side of his chest. His shirt is hugging his perfectly chiseled upper body.
“Devy!!!!!!!!” I ran up to him and hugged him tight.
“My Ara.” He said while enveloping me with his arms. He then kissed me on my forehead and around my face.
“Devy what are you doing here? I mean how did you know Im here?”
“Your ma said your coming home and apparently your getting married. If that’s not enough reason for the whole Galves clan to come over…”
“What do you mean? Who else are coming over?”
The moment I asked that question, a convoy of three cars slowly pulled over in front of the farm house. Oh my god. What is happening?
“Araaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
“Arabella!”
“Cuzin Ara!!!!!!
“Araaa!!”
My mouth parted in complete awe. Most of my cousins, some of my uncles and aunties, and well basically the whole Galves family is here. They went out of the car one by one squealing my name. Most of my cousins are younger than Devon and me. My elder cousins are already overseas, with their own families.
They went to my direction, jumped and rained kisses on my cheeks. My heart instantly filled with warmth. I actually miss them. I only get to see these little rascals on important family gatherings and I think my announcement of marriage was enough reason for them to come home and gather together again.
“I miss all of you.”
“I miss you Ara. Did you bring me chocolates?” Asked, Jay-jay, my 10 yr old cousin. He puckered his lips as he realizes that the answer is no. “Aww man, your suppose to be my favorite cuz, now Im not really sure.” He said while sporting a puppy face.
“Jay-jay stop bothering Ara..” Said my Auntie Lauren while exending her hand to hug me.
“Ara, ara, they say you will marry your prince charming just like cinderella.” Asked Santina, my 7 yr old cousin. She’s pulling my dress down as she looks up to me waiting for my answer. She’s wearing a long tutu pink dress while her hair is tied into a ponytail with a pink ribbon.
“Uh.. yes Santi, I’m getting married to my prince charming and he’s over there.” I turned my head and pointed at Nikolai. My two boys have smiles plastered on their faces as they witness my family ruckus.
My family’s attention instantly focused on the two. They looked at my two boys intently like they are inspecting the two from head to foot.
“Which one?” Asked Devon while crossing his arms in front of him and measuring up Nikolai and Alexei.
I almost choked to Devon’s question. Actually, the two of them. I love them both. And if it’s even possible I will marry them both.
“Nikolai baby… Alexei..” I said extending my hand to Nikolai for them to come closer.
“Everyone, this is Nikolai and he’s my prince charming. And this is Alexei his brother.”
While I introduce my two boys to the kids, Santina for some reason look like she’s about to cry.
“Aaaaaah, Aaaaah, Aaaaah.”
And there you go, she indeed cried while her mouth is opened. She placed the back of her right hand over her eyes while tears the size of raindrops flow down her cheeks.
“Ara…” Santina is trying to catch her breath in every word. “Ara-is-going-to-marry-and-have-a-baby-and-we-cant-play-with-her-anymore-because-she’s-going-to-take-care-of-the-baby-like-forever.”
Santina’s cheeks became as red as a tomato. I quickly scooped her and held her in my arms.
“Hey… I’m still your Ara and you can still visit me in New York if you want.”
“But.. but.. but…” She continued and still tries to catch her breath on every word.
“Can you remember what the story teller say after cinderella and prince charming got married?”
She nodded as she wipes the tears from her eyes.
“And they lived happily ever after…” We both said in unison.
Auntie Marissa interrupted us and offered to take Santina from my arms. “See it’s not that bad right? Ara is going to live happily ever after wih his prince charming.” She said as she removes Santi from me slowly.
My relatives went inside after the little meet and greet and a little catching up. Devon however remained beside me while Im holding Nikolai’s hand.
“Dev… come help us with dinner will yah?” Said Auntie Lauren as she signals Dev to come with them inside.
Devon held the crown of my head and shakes it. “Are you okay?”
“Yes Devy, talk later?”
“Okay.” He said while glancing at Nikolai and Alexei and then jogged his way towards the house.
“Why does he act like your boyfriend?”
Wow, really now Nikolai? You get jealous even to my own cousin?
“Nikolai, Devon is my cousin, we are the same age, its just normal that we are close to each other.”
“I dont want him touching and kissing you like that, understand?”
“Nikolai… your jealousy knows no bounds.”
“Just fucking do what I say.”
I sighed in frustration as I look at him. Nikolai being Nikolai again. He clenches his jaw as he gazes towards Devon’s direction.
“Your family has some serious Ara issues.” Said Alexei, butting in.
“Youre taking away their princess Ara from them, of course they will react that way. Wait till you see the king’s reaction later.” Said Amy out of nowhere.
“A what are you doing here?”
“Are you kidding me now B? There’s not a single chance that im going to miss this event.”

I just finished shower and Im now hand drying my hair in front of the mirror. Amy are playing with my cousins outside while I left Nikolai and Alexei with Devon in the Veranda. Any moment now my father is going to arrive from a meeting in the city.
“Hey Ara, it’s me Dev.”
“Come in.”
“Where’s Nikolai and Alexei?”
“I left them with your Pa.”
My heart suddenly jumped from my chest. Oh my god.
“Pa is here?”
“Yes.”
“Hey, about Nikolai.”
“Yes, what about him?”
“I dont trust him. I just cant put my finger on it, but there’s something wrong with him.”
“Devy..”
“Ara, I am a man, and I know bullshit if I sense one.”
“Dev, I know Nikolai and he loves and protects me if that’s what you are worrying about.”
“Why are you on a hurry to marry this man anyway?”
“Cuz, please, I know your just looking after me but as you can see I can take care of myself now. Im a grown up. Im not your baby sister anymore. You can stop worrying about me.”
“What’s up with that Alexei? I saw you kiss him a while ago.”
Oh my gosh. I suddenly feel my blood rush up my face. So he saw the kiss.
“Uhh….”
“B!!!!!!!”
Oh thank goodness halleluja, Amy came at the exact moment I needed a saving grace.
“Oh hey Dev!”
“Hey A.”
“B, FYI… your Pa and your Russian men are preparing their guns and I think they are about to take off somewhere.”
