Chapter 73
Jose and Nicholas took themselves back to the guest house an hour before I was ready wanting to get a little alone time in before I got back with Catherine and Sebastian. Sebastian was about to bend down and pick Catherine up until I stopped him wanting to do it myself now that I was back to my old self and wanting to feel her next to me. “Well good night all and thank you for being here to celebrate my best friends’ nuptials and for the amazing time we’ve all had so far this summer” I said as I straightened with Catherine in my arms. Sebastian grabbed the door as we headed out and watched as I carried Catherine to the guest house. I had not falter one bit carrying her straight to my bed and planting a kiss on her head before leaving her side to ready myself for sleep. She had already taken care of business at the main house showering and dressing in some pjs I had in my room and looked good wearing them too. “OMG…. Did she take my shorts and shirt she wore the other night?” I thought out loud as I went to my closet and looked in my drawers.
After searching high and low for my things I did not find the items Sharene had worn and part of me felt touched that she would want something of mine even though she left. Sebastian looked at me all confused as he stopped in to say goodnight before heading to his room that was next door. “What is happening right now…. You look as though someone stole your favorite toy or something…. Ha” he said as he found me in my closet sitting on the bench with my arms resting on my thighs. “Umm nothing I’m fine just trying to figure out why people do things and then turn around and do another” I whispered as I got to my feet. Sebastian pulled me into his arms and hugged me gripping my neck and taking his time. I knew he didn’t want to let me go and I didn’t want to be let go since I was feeling vulnerable. “So today is actually happening…. I better get some sleep before someone wakes me in a few hours” I said with a soft giggle looking towards the bed.
Sebastian bent his knees and before I could tell him no, he had me in his arms carrying me to the bed and laying me down kissing me softy on the forehead before leaving. “Goodnight beautiful…” he said before closing the door. I rolled a little and Catherine was there in my arms grabbing my arm to put around her to hold turning us into spooning. “I love you” she said like she had been waiting to say it for a lifetime. I kissed her bare shoulder “I love you too Cate and for so many different reasons… I’m sorry for the things I’ve put you and everyone else through the last few days” I whispered softly but knew she hadn’t heard me as she was lightly snoring again. The feeling of her being so calm and safe made me feel good and I finally closed my eyes and let myself go.
There they were as though they knew I would be coming, and I was right back where I had been, before I was yanked from the dream state with them the last time. This time it was just Ethan waiting with them and I was not sure why or if it was my doing. Only because I just wanted time alone with the girls and Ethan to have that connection and keep it. “My beautiful girls…. I’m sorry mommy was gone so long… I really tried getting back here to this me and you 2 and uncle Ethan” I whispered to my girls who were both resting but had gave me a smile as though they knew my voice. “Mia….. you have to move on from Sharene, I know you don’t want to hear me say that because I’m the one person who should be on your side. I just can’t let you hold on this tight to her she’s not what you need right now, but I’m not saying that you won’t ever see her again or have another chance. I need you focused on other things right now that will start to be clearer as the days go by” Ethan was now being me softly before getting up to leave me and the twins alone.
He knew I didn’t want to listen at the moment, and he knew it since I had pretty much expressed in the way I looked at him, but I wasn’t sure the next time I’d be back. “I know your uncle is just trying to do the best he can. Make me see things that I’m not ready to see yet or feel until I’m ready. I need time to get this amazing person out of my head which is not going to be easy when I have something that used to be hers. I’m going to have to do what I can to find her and at least give it back to her. I can tell that it means a lot to her” I said as I talked to the girls as though they understood. My girls and I, spent as much time as I could, and I did what I was able to in my dream state. So far there was not much I could not do, and I was able to be the mother I should have been to them. I fed them, bathed them, watched them sleep and even pictured what they would look like a few years later. I wanted to think about what they would be when they grew up but did not want to go to fast before I was ready to see them from baby to adults. Though I could go back to that moment whenever I wanted to and finally skipped a few years and picturing us all running around the yard in a home I pictured for us.
They were only 3 years old and smart and tall like Ethan and I had been at that age. “Hey be careful now…” I yelled out as they had both pushed one another and went down. I loved hearing them laugh and call me mommy making my heart feel so big. “Unconditional love” Ethan said from behind me as he appeared next to me a second later. “Reminds me of us when we were little, mother would take us out back at Papa and Nana’s house since we didn’t have one when we lived in that condo while daddy was still in school” I said thinking about our childhood and surprised I remembered it. “Ya that was the best 3 years of my life… we were inseparable even in womb we were connected. Even for twins who didn’t share a sack we still had that bond that only twins have” Ethan said as he put his arm around me.
It was all too quick for me as I watched the girls playing and another minute I was hearing Catherine’s voice in my ear and calling out for me. I shot straight up bumping heads with Catherine and taking her with me as I sat up as she was straddling over me. “Damn it…. ouch….” she yelped out. I was huffing and puffing catching a breath, but my instincts had me wrapping my arms around Catherine’s back. I pulled back a little and after a couple of mins my eyes focused and saw that Catherine was completely naked. “Wow….. you get me every time… your skin is so soft and look at this tan you’ve got going on…” I gasped as I ran my fingertips up and down her back. She arched her back every time causing her breast to rise higher. It had me reacting every time, she did it. “MMMMM you were truly gifted in this department” I giggled as I put my head between her breasts and softly kissed moving from top to bottom and around before actually making contact with her nipples.
I had her distracted while I pulled off my shirt quickly and as she came forward again, we were chest to chest. “MMM now that’s what I’m talking about… I love these muscles and this chest. Even if your breasts are mostly muscle and don’t move much, I get a little jealous of it all sometimes” she said with a soft groan. I turned in one swift move and had her on her back with me between her legs and hovering over her. Making my move kissing her soft lips and wanting to be the one to please her and in return would please me.
