stupid to
have thought otherwise.
Lily moved, and in the next instant she opened
her eyes. He smiled down at her. “Morning, baby.”
“You’re still here.”
“Where else would I be?” he asked, pleased he
had made the right decision in staying.
“I don’t know. You think some crazy thoughts
sometimes. I can’t always keep up.” She stretched.
Wayne
moved the sheets out of the way so he could
see her body better. He moaned at her ripe tits and flushed skin. She was
addictive to him.
“You can’t keep thinking that. I’ve pawned the
kids off for long enough. I’m going to start walking them to school.”
He smiled even though his mind was on the sex.
It was the weekend, and Scarlet and Richard would be bringing back their kids.
Blake and Harry were the best of friends. Nothing would keep them apart.
“Christmas is coming. I’m going to take some
time off work and spend time with you. I think it’s time we got together and
began to get this house festive. I know the tree is up and some decorations but
not everything. I’ve been lax in my department.”
Wayne
stroked her belly.
“You’d really do that?” she asked.
“I’d love to do it. Do you remember our first
Christmas together?”
“Where you walked in when I was singing?” Lily
smiled placing her hand on top of his.
“The very one. This is
going to be a great year for us,” he said.
Wayne
felt it, too. “I know I made a mistake,
but I’m going to make it up to you.”
“I know. I look forward to wearing my rings
again.”
Wayne
chuckled. He had an idea for the rings. “I’m
going to go and make you some breakfast for a change, and I’m going to clean
away the breakfast dishes. Will you be okay to get ready and meet me downstairs
in half an hour?” he asked.
“Are you going to phone Richard?” she asked.
“Yes. We’ll have this weekend together as a
family, and next week we’ll prepare for Christmas. I’ll phone and make sure
work understands I’ll be taking a Christmas vacation.” He leaned down, kissed
her lips, then got out of bed.
Wayne
knew her gaze followed him out of the
room.
First, he went down to the laundry room and
grabbed himself a pair of pants before going into his study to make a call.
Wayne
phoned work first
and ordered his secretary to cancel all of his meetings or to get someone else
to cover for him. Once everything was done he phoned Richard. He knew Tony had
already taken Opal away. The lucky bastard didn’t have children to worry about.
Wayne
loved his
kids, but he wished he could spend more time with Lily.
“Hello,” Scarlet said after several rings. “I
told you to put that in the suitcase. Blake, stop encouraging Harry. Hello.”
Wayne
chuckled.
“Well, you’re not Lily, and I bet you’re not
John.”
He heard the humour in her voice. “I take it
the date with John was your and Opal’s idea?”
“You needed to have your reality check,
Wayne
. I guess it worked.
The incoming number is from your own home. How is Lily?” she asked.
“Thank you. You were right. I needed a reality
check.”
“You’re welcome. Don’t worry about it,
Wayne
. We’re all here for
you. You have your friends you can count on.”
He smiled. “Is Richard there? I want to
apologise to him, and also, I think it’s time you made your way over here.
Don’t you guys have somewhere to be?” he asked.
“Yes, we’re getting ready. The nanny should be
following us up. Richard doesn’t want me to spend the whole time on my feet. I’m
sure that man would be shocked by how much work parenting is. Anyway, here he
is.”
The phone passed hands. He heard muttered words
and then the sound of kissing. Richard came on the phone several seconds later.
“I take it I was right?”
“Yes, I was wrong.”
Wayne
chuckled.
“Put it down to having the lawyer instinct. It
messes with everything. Are you happy?” Richard asked, getting down to
business.
“We’ll get there. This has put a dent
