They have missed their father and she did too his presence brings safety, security, love and happiness the place itself felt warm all of a sudden like a home should feel, due to him being here but she shouldn’t get ahead of herself, he’s got another family in Miami with Lana she mustn’t forget that, he probably came all the way here to talk about their divorce proceedings and how they’ll split visitation rights between the boys.
“Their food is ready?”She said going to see why the boys are so happy and giggling, Bruno was lying on the floor and Logan and Liam are on top of him he was tickling each of them, they looked so alike with their jet black hair against their beautiful olive skin tone and grey eyes, they boys are laughing so freely oblivious a smile spread across her own face they could’ve been so happy she thought if only things hadn’t turn out the way it did, averting her gaze she saw piles of woods chopped and stacked in the corner near the fireplace, has Tyler already been here without her being here.”Was Tyler here?”
“Who’s Tyler.”He asked, standing up.
“The boy from next door he usually comes and help to chop the wood for me.”
“No one came, I’m the one who chopped the wood, the fire died so I went to chop some wood outside there wasn’t any in here.”
“Oh.”He did that.”Thank you.”
“Come on guys. Time for dinner.”He said lifting both the twins up and carrying them to their chairs, Sage followed suit next thing all four of them were sitting around the small kitchen table eating dinner, she could barely eat her stomach is in knots because of him and she was sitting across from him, and having to look at his sexy smile every time he looks at the boys it was killing her to sit here and pretend they’ve been doing this every day for the last four months and him acting as if nothing is wrong makes her angry because she has no clue what he’s doing here. The strong sound of thunder outside made her jump it cannot come and rain now, the roof isn’t fix and she has no idea when Jenny’s husband is gonna come.”What’s wrong Sage?”
“Nothing.”She said getting up.
“I can see something is troubling you. What is it?”
A second later tiny drops of rain hit the roofing.”Oh no.”She rushed to the living room the last time it had rained she had been up most of the night monitoring the buckets and throwing it out every thirty minutes when it’s full the rain here is pretty bad.
“Sage.”Bruno’s voice behind her caught her off guard, she lost her balance as she turned to face him but his hands slip around her waist to steady her, the scent of him enveloped her it’s been too long since she’s been in his arms this close smelling all of him, feeling his hardness the look in his told her he can read every emotion on her face immediately she stepped out of his arms.
“The roof.”She started.”There’s a leak and it’s bad it rains for days on end non stop I was suppose to get someone to come and fix it but it slipped my mind I only remembered today. Last time I was up all night throwing out buckets of water.”Why was she telling him this, it wasn’t any of his business.”And I don’t know when Jenny’s husband is coming.”
“Don’t worry I’ll fix it for you.”He said.”Where can I get some tools.”
“You’ll fix it.”She repeated surprised, Bruno doesn’t look like the type of man who’d pick up a hammer or a paint brush standing infront of a mirror
seems more of his thing.”Do you know anything about roofing.”
“We’ll find out now.”He told her.”Where are the stuff I’ll need to fix it.”Sage is still gobsmacked that he offered to fix it she stared at him instead of answering his question.”Sage.”He snapped her back.”The sooner I start the better before it rains harder than it is now.”
“Of course.”She said nodding her head.”There’s a shed out back everything you’ll need is in there.”She watched as he strolled out a few minutes later she heard banging and hitting on top of the roof as Bruno got to work.
The boys got scared by the noise but she calmed them down and waited while they finished their food, the rain only poured harder every second that Bruno was out there and it worried her, how will he see with this downpour. She prays he won’t get hurt he must be soaked out there and the cold too, he’s probably freezing why did she let him go out there in the first place if something happens to him she’ll never forgive herself. She distracted herself by going and bathing the boys her anxiousness wasn’t helping her one bit luckily tonight they aren’t bothering her by the time she was done bathing and dressing the boys the noise has stopped. Bruno must be done, hurriedly she rushed to check and found him standing soaked at the door relieve poured through her he was okay.”You wet.”She said.”Soaked.”
“How nice of you to notice.”He said with a smile.”It’s all done, it won’t trouble you anymore.”
“Let me get you a towel.”She quickly fetched him some towels, when she returned she found him naked only wearing his boxer shorts, Sage couldn’t stop the deep gasp that tore from her throat. She’s forgotten how beautiful he is, how magnificent, seeing him standing before her looking all so godly and utterly delicious makes her skin burn, a tingle of awareness spiral down her spine, her heavy breasts ached for his mouth and her hot sex throbbed to feel his hard length inside of her, restless fingers itched to ran the length of him to feel his hardness under her finger tips to play with the soft hairs on his chest, to kiss every inch of him, to feel his body weight as he comes to lie ontop of her and one leg parts hers as he-
“Sage.”The sound of his voice interrupted her lustful thoughts.”Towel.” Breathless and hot from her own thoughts she gave him the towels he saw everything she felt on her face expression of that she has no doubt.
“Let me dry those for you.”She pointed to his clothes, picking it up he handed it to her.”I’ll be right back.”She spun around and left, she put his clothing in the dryer and headed out after a few minutes, she heard his voice in the boys room reading them one of their bedtime stories, standing at the door she listened to his deep voice as he softly spoke to them. He’s such a gentle, loving caring father Sage can give him credit for that will he be this way with his baby that he and Lana is gonna have how much of these stories will the boys miss out on how much of his time are they gonna lose, time and love he’ll shower on his other baby, at the same time her girls won’t ever get to know or experience the love of their father because he doesn’t believe they are his. She moved away from the door and went to the living room Bruno did a good job with the roof it wasn’t leaking anymore one less problem for her to deal with.
“They are asleep?”He said from behind her.
“Thank you for the roof send me a quotation.”She faced him, he was only wearing the towel around his waist him being naked isn’t good for her senses or mental state it’s bad enough that his presence unsettles her.
“I didn’t come here for your money.”
“Then why did you come. Does the mother of your baby know you’re here.”
“Lana isn’t having my baby Sage she lied to you.”
“Same way you lied to me about the two of you being in a relationship.”He groaned in frustration she ignored him.”I saw her pregnancy test with my own eyes it was positive.”
“Are you honestly gonna believe Lana.”
“Why not? You believe I slept with Hugo and that our girls are his babies so tell me why can’t I believe her.”
“Girls.”He said.”They are girls.”A smile spread across his face she turned away from that genuine sincere smile that held al ot of promise.”Our girls.”Sage sank down on the chair when she heard him say that.”My princesses.”She tightly shut her eyes his words will not weaken her.
“No Bruno not our girls but mine alone. Remember you denied them.”Her eyes met his.”You rejected them and the pain of that still hurts.”
“I’ve hurt you Sage I know that, I pushed you away said some harsh painful things and even if you don’t forgive me I won’t hold it against you, I can’t forgive myself for ever doubting you and not trusting you enough. No amount of apologies will be enough to seek your forgiveness but I am sorry sweetheart from the bottom of my heart with this profound love I have for you I ask for your forgiveness for everything I’ve done and said to you.”
“I believe that you are sorry Bruno and I forgive you but it’s too late.”
“Don’t say that it’s something I don’t want to hear. I refuse to live another second without you beautiful, I need you sweetheart nothing makes sense anymore because you not with me, my life has no meaning if you or the boys aren’t in it. I’m drowning here. Please come back home.”
“This is our new home. We not going anywhere.”
