Chapter 116_ You lied to me!
Bianca dried her hands with the hand towel, she had just finished washing the dishes..
She turned back heading to the living room where Xander sat waiting for her, he didn’t notice her coming towards him because he was focused at something on his phone..
She took the seat next to him with a fair amount of space between them..
“Umm.. you’re done?..”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Yeah.. I thought you were going to see a friend”
Xander kept his phone aside and faced her with an arched brow, right after he had mentioned meeting ‘a friend’ to her, she had been trying to get him to say more..
“If you want to ask me something else, then go ahead..” he urged..
“No.. I was just reminding you about your-
“You want to know if my friend is actually a guy or a lady?” He asked curtly and for a second, he could swear that he saw surprise flash past her eyes..
Indeed she was surprised at his direct hit on the question that had been revolving around her mind since he mentioned his ‘friend’..
Given his nature, she had an unsettling doubt if it was so easy for him to change his ways suddenly..
But what other choice does she have? she was only being concerned about her poor heart since she had chosen to give them a chance..
“W-hat I really didn’t mean that-
Xander rose up to his feet, he pulled her up from the sofa pinning her with his gaze..
“You aren’t still convinced that you’re the only woman in my life right now…”
Bianca avoided his hot stare, he was infact correct..
“I’m sorry-
The rest of her words were cut short by his sudden movement against her lips, one of his hand held her nape gently while the other secured her waist inching him closer to himself..
Her knees weakened by his sudden assault on her lips, luckily his arm was around her waist which acted as a pillar to hold her from falling back..
Her head was in chaos so as her body, they stubbornly refused to listen to her, her last shred of defense was gradually breaking apart..
What more does she have to lose? nothing! and with that thought in mind, her eyes closed and her hand went around his neck..
Slowly, she reciprocated with the same passion as he did, a groan escaped the back of his throat at her sudden response to him..
Without breaking away from each other, he leaned down and picked her up, almost immediately, her legs went around his waist to hold herself up…
Xander pulled back, he was bewildered at her earlier response to his kisses..
Just a few weeks back, the same lady who was clinging on to him was the same as the one who had broken half of his buttock with a baseball bat..
Bianca bit her bottom lips feeling shy all of a sudden, a teasing smile tugged at the corner of his lips..
“You’re the only lady in my life right now Bianca, I swear, there’s no one else.. you’re the only one who makes me go completely insane, I’m madly into you and I hope you see that” His breathless whisper caressed her ears softly..
There, he declared his feelings to her but there was nothing she could say at this point, only time will tell her feelings too..
Hearing no response from her, he placed his forehead against hers with his eyes shut, his breathing was heavy..
“I like you so much”

Olivia lay flat on her bed staring at the ceiling, she had lost count of how many minutes had passed by lost in her own thoughts..
By her side lay an opened trunk, her mum and Bianca really outsmarted her this time again, she could swear that she had double checked everything before leaving..
How were they so fast to change every single clothes of her’s?
She sat up with a sigh, no one had come to check up on her since Kelvin left her room which made her ponder hard on what they might be up to..
Sandy and Bianca better get ready for her fury when she returns, how were they so cruel towards her?
She made her way out of the room in search for the trio who she hadn’t seen in a while..
The route she took which was the back door led her out to the pool where the screams and giggles of Kelvin and Kiara reached her ears..
“Catch me!!” Kiara jeered swimming away from Kelvin and Damien’s hold..
Kiara and Kelvin both took swimming classes earlier this year, they’ve always been fond of the water since they were little..
Olivia had lost count of the number of times Kelvin almost drowned whenever they visited parks..
They were so caught up in having fun that they failed to notice her presence, except Kiara who was now swimming towards her..
“Aunt is here!!”
Olivia’s eyes widened In surprise, The three of them were still in their outfits, she got that Kelvin and Kiara were kids but Damien? he was a full grown man!
She walked by the edge of the pool towards him, Kelvin’s words from earlier washed through her mind which casted a red hue over her face..
And by the looks of things, Damien was also having similar thoughts too, but he was more concerned on why she looked annoyed right now…
“Mummy!! come join us!”
She placed a hand on her hips sending him glares..
“That’s the look she gives whenever she’s about to scold me, I think she’s about to scold you daddy” Kelvin whispered for Damien to purse his lips..
He was about to be scolded?
“I can’t believe you’re not trust worthy enough to handle kids.. just thirty minutes away from you three and boom! you’re all in the pool with your clothes!-
From that point forward, Damien didn’t hear anything anymore, all his mind focused on was her lips movement, she threw her hands up in the air as she continued blabbing on and on..
“Has she always talked this much?” he asked Kelvin in a lowered tone which the latter affirmed by giving a nod..
“The weather is chilly and Kiara doesn’t have any spare clothes as of now.. what are we supposed to do about that?” she questioned taking deep breaths in..
Kelvin raised his hand up a little “She can wear my clothes..”
Olivia looked up to the clear blue sky in frustration, she inhaled deeply mustering enough strength to continue her prep talk..
She was startled of Damien’s sudden appearance below her, he rested his elbow over the tiled pavement where her feet stood firmly..
“You’re so irresponsible!”
Damien chuckled at her direct hit, how was this his fault? Kiara had fallen into the pool and was about to drown, and before he could jump in to save her, Kelvin jumped in and also started drowning, he was left with no other choice than to jump in as well to save the two..
Except that this was all part of their plans, they pretended to drown just so he could get into the pool along with them..
“If you were responsible yourself, Kelvin wouldn’t be so mischievous.. he tricked me to believe that he was drowning-
“You’re just making excuses, Kelvin is the sweetest soul on earth to do such a thing.. just admit your mistakes Mr Sterling!”
Damien’s lips curved upward, he suddenly reached out to her hand and drew her into the pool, she fell in with a splash..
Her lips parted in shock as several gasp escaped from it, she regained her stance in the pool while pushing her golden locks behind her ear..
Shock was evident on her face, and to make it worse, they were all laughing at her horrified expression..
“You’re so irresponsible, jumping into the pool with your clothes on” Damien mocked..
“That was because you pulled me in!” She defended in a high pitched tone..
“You’re just making excuses Mrs Sterling!” he remarked stressing the ‘Mrs’ a bit more than necessary..
