"Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea." - Henry Fielding***"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear mommy." I instantly fluttered my eyes open feeling so confused.My phone kept buzzing off the hook, vibrating on the mattress but I decided to ignore it."Happy birthday mommy." My angels said in unison as they brought me a cup cake with a little candle. That's when it dawned onto me. Gosh it's my fucking birthday, boy do I feel old. I was so busy caught up in everything, i didn't even have time to think about it.I was surprised when my two angels sat beside me on the bed, asking me to blow out the candle."Make a wish mommy." Ashley said and I blew out the candle with only one wish. God may I never be love's fool ever again."What did you wish for ?" Ashton asked curiously."Uhm i wished for a chocolate cupcake and here it is." I giddily smiled because God knows they made me really happy. I removed the candle and took a bite, showing them that I

"Love is like a mustard seed ; planted by God and watered by men. " - Muda Saint Michael***Angelo Le roux."Mr. Le roux, i assume Ms. Yasmine loved her gift." Seth questioned with a suggestive smile and honestly the gift was in my safe back at the apartment.- she rejected it. you. it. you."She did." I nodded at him looking at the documents that he had set on my mahogany table."Mhm so do I also get an invite to the wedding of the year ?" He grimaced."What do you mean the wedding of the year ?" I furrowed my eyebrows."Well the engagement has been all over my new feed on twitter and even on snapchat." He said sheepishly."Oh.." I said with a sigh."Do I get the invitation ?" He asked once again."I will be sure to inform Yasmine." I concluded."Thank you so much Mr. Le roux." He said with a huge grin. "I will be coming with Tristan." He added."I know, you can't stay away from him not even for a second infact if I fire one of you, i should just fire both of you." I joked."Haha Mr

"At the Centre of nonviolence stands the principle of love." ~ Martin King Luther Jr.***Angelo Le roux."Yaya stop." I said turning away from her. "Remember you said you wanted to wait for our wedding night." I added but the truth is, I didn't feel aroused, i didn't want to sleep with her."I know, it's just-" she pouted climbing off me."It's okay." I gave her an assuring smile. I didn't understand why it took a long time for my dick to stand up whenever I was with her but it didn't even take a second whenever I was with Raina. Even if she had not touched me, her voice sent electric waves into my body."We need to get going my mom said we should be there by five pm." I stood up while checking my wrist watch. She immediately frowned. "Babe your mom is kind of boring, you would rather hang out with her than have fun here with me ?" She said batting her eyelashes flirtatiously."Yasmine, she is my mom. I don't know what went down with your parents but I adore mine." She wasn't even in

"The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands." ~ Alexandra Penney***Raina Williams.I had not seen Angelo for a while now, neither had the twins. I understood that he had other things to do like the wedding and taking care of his pregnant fiancée. What hurt the most is that he would be doing all these things for her that he never did for me. He deprived me off that joy. He deprived me of that happiness but he will give her that and all his attention. I had to go with my parents for all or rather most of my appointments, my swollen feet- he will be massaging Yasmine whenever she requests of it. I made it without him, i don't need him. I can take care of my kids and nothing else will matter. The way Ashton was so hurt a week back, it broke my heart. He promised to take him out the very next day with Ashley but later canceled, he said he was caught up with something."Raina ?" Derrick brought me back to daylight. Dressed in his black armani sleek suit and a whi

"In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person." ~ Margaret C. Anderson.***Raina Williams.I was baking chocolate muffins for my babies, they were not here at the moment, they had gone on an excursion. I was glad something would take them off my thoughts about how their father has sorely abandoning them. I knew and saw how much it hurt them. It broke my heart watching them wait eagerly for their dad to call. He only called about four times and that was it.There was a knock on the door, so I removed my pink apron and wiped off the remaining chocolate dough on my fingers. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear as I made my way to the door. It couldn't be the twins, Grayson wasn't going to pick them at this time. Knowing Gray he would probably stuff them with McDonald's before finally bringing them home. In other ways Gray was starting to act like a father figure to my kids, besides his sexuality. He was always helping out, picking them up w
