“For good.”He said coming over to her.”Well I’m staying here with you.”She expected that.”Where’s our boys?”
“I just put them to bed.”
“Have you taken a bath.”
“I was about to before you came.”
“Let me see Liam and Logan first then we’ll take a bath together.”Sage nodded.
He gave her a kiss.”I love showering or taking a bath with you, I love your nakedness but most of all I love you naked in my arms.”
“You don’t have any clothes here. What are you gonna wear after your bath.”
“I’ll walk around naked after all it’s only us two. And you know I sleep naked.”
“Do I? There’s still alot I don’t know about you yet we’re about to get married.”
“Even I don’t know anything about you.”He threw back.
“Then why are you marrying a woman you know nothing off.”
“The little I do know is enough for me to marry you besides my body knows you, it feels as if it’s known you all my life and you know what I’m talking about because you feel it too. Unless if you gonna deny it.”Sage couldn’t so she went to prepare her bath instead.”Have you changed your mind about moving in with me.”He asked when he came to join her a few minutes later.
“I will be after the wedding.”Sage said.
“I can’t wait to have you in my bed every night and every morning. Have you decided where you wanna go for our honeymoon.”
“Honeymoon.”She said.”I wasn’t aware we were going on a honeymoon.”
“We are.”He said.”For two weeks I would’ve loved to stay longer but I can’t.”
“Is it necessary for us to go on a honeymoon, is it a must.”
“Of course it is. We’re going and it’s final.”
“I’ve never been away from the boys for so long.”Come to think of it she has to tell him about what she and Kim discuss.
“They’ll be fine, you know that.”
“I have to tell you something.”She said.
“About?”
“Kim has organised a weekend away just us girls. Would you mind being alone with Logan and Liam.”
“Where are you going?”He asked.
“I don’t know, she refused to say.”
“I don’t mind you going as long as I pay for everything and you use my jet.”
“Bruno no.”She said.”Kim has already paid for everything.”Or so she thinks. “There’s no need for you to do anything.”
“But I want to.”
“You mean you want to know where I’ll be going and if truly it would be a girls weekend away. That’s the only reason you wanna pay for everything.”
“There’s nothing wrong in wanting to know where my future fiancee is.”He gets jealous if she goes out without him when it comes to her he wants too much, expects too much.
“You cannot control every situation Bruno. The whole point of this getaway is to relax and have no contact with anyone.”
“Now that I won’t accept.”He said.”How will I know if you’re okay or not.”
“I’ll be fine, you just overthinking right now.”
“If you don’t want me to pay for anything the least you can do is let me know where you are. Call me to let me know you’re okay that way I won’t have to worry about you.”
Sage sighed.”You not gonna budge are you. Why do you always want things to go your way.
“Your safety and well being is my responsibility, so please I don’t want to argue with you about this.”
“Neither do I and you aren’t responsible for me. Only I am.”
“Come here let me keep that mouth busy I like it better when it sobs out my name not when it defies or answer me back.”Sage went even she loves it when he keeps her mouth busy and he does it so good that she wants more of what he’s giving, this man knows her body better than she does, and she loves him.
She woke to find herself alone in bed, Bruno’s side felt a bit warm he hasn’t been gone long she can hear the boys are awake, getting up she went to take her robe from the closet and wore it, she went to freshen up in the bathroom it’s then she realise Bruno’s necklace, the cross is around her neck. How did it.. She wonder how on earth it got on her neck, she cannot remember Bruno taking it off and giving it to her. He’d told her his mother had given it to him before she died it’s special then how come she has it, she can’t wear this it belongs to him she was about to take it off when she heard a loud thud coming from the boys’s room quickly she rushed to their room and saw it was Logan’s musical piano probably Bruno must’ve given it to him before he had left she picked it up and put it away.
The two of them got extremely happy at seeing her, she smiled and lifted Logan out of his crib.”Good morning my angels. Did you have a good night.”They began mumbling in their baby language Sage lovingly smiled and kissed each of them.”Time for your morning shots. Then breakfast.”She told them. After giving them their shots she set them down in their high chairs and prepared their breakfast in that time Bruno called her.
“Slept well beautiful.”His sexy voice said on the other end of the line.
“Very.”
“What are you doing?”
“Making breakfast for the boys. Whe-..”She stopped she had almost asked where he is.”What are you doing?”
“On my way to Europe.”
“Oh.”Sage said.
“I’ll see you soon.”He told her.”I don’t know how long I’ll be but I want you and the boys to go and stay at my house until I come back.”
“Bruno..”
“Please that’s all I’m asking.”
“Fine.”She said after a while.”Your cross..”
“I want you to have it.”He said surprising her.”No arguments.”
“I cannot accept something your mother gave you. It’s meant for you.”
“Same way you are meant for me.”His words left her speechless.”That cross is important to me it means everything to me because it was given by the woman who meant the world to me, you’re equally as important as she had been by giving you that cross I don’t ever want you to question your place in my life same way it’s special to me you are too.”Sage couldn’t browse a single word never had she thought she would hear him say that, she’s important as his mother had been for her that meant alot. It’s almost close as to loving her, who knows how this will end. She touched the necklace and looked at it he’d given it to her because she means something to him, she means more than a brief fling probably more than Maya too.”No other woman has ever wore that cross other than you.”She heard him say, which means Maya hasn’t.”Sage? Are you there.”
“Yes I am.”She said throat filled with emotion.
“Are you okay?”He asked.
“I am.”She said keeping the tears at bay.
“I have to go but I’ll call you tonight. Kiss the boys for me and tell them I love them.”
“I will.”She managed past her aching throat.
“Take care. I’ll see you soon.”
“You too.”She wiped away the tears that had fallen, is this what love feels like this uncontrollable burning flame that’s glowing inside your heart with each second it grows bigger and bigger. She never expected her feelings for Bruno to be this strong that it takes her breath away, hearing him say no other woman has ever worn this cross gives her hope it makes her sees things in a different light maybe she’s wrong in thinking that Maya had been the one for him.
