Mirabelle's POV.
"Mummy, why were you crawling underneath the blanket?" Mika asked curiously as her bright eyes gaped at me.
I began scanning my head for an excuse to give to her as my lips parted to say some words only for it to end up closing again as I swallowed hard, the taste of Noah's precum going down my throat.
"Why are you looking so terrified, mum?" Tyler questioned as he climbed up the bed and lay next to me, but the moment he touched my skin, he raised his head at me with his perfectly shaved brows arched as he reached out his hand to touch my face.
"You're sweating," He remarked, and my eyes stretched wide open like I'd been caught doing something really bad...
Okay, maybe giving Noah a BJ tonight might have been a bad idea after all cause what the hell am I supposed to say to my kids right now?! What explanation do I give to them?!
That, oh my dear kids, I was just relieving your father of his sexual urge. After all, we've been away from each other for so long now.
Jeez! I feel like hitting myself!
"Yes, mum. Tyler is right. And what were you searching for at our dad's legs when we came in?" Mika asked, also climbing up the bed.
That's right! I was sucking on your dad's lollipop when you guys barged in out of the blue.
I should have at least locked the door if I knew you guys were going to walk in the way you guys did.
Hence, making me regret my decision to feel pity for your father.
*Rolls eyes*
I wondered why I didn't hear Noah say a word since the kids came into our room.
I slowly dart my gaze to his side of the bed and I was speechless when I found Noah asleep!
This jerk face had the guts to pretend to fall asleep! Leaving me all alone to deal with the kids and come up with stupid excuses to feed their curious minds!
My blood boiled as my face scrunched up into an ugly look as I glared at him.
I felt like picking up a pillow and hitting his insanely handsome face with it hard till he jerked up from sleep but I stopped myself cause the kids were present in the room with us, and it wouldn't be right if I hit their dad with a pillow while he was asleep in their presence.
But the annoying thing here was that he was not asleep! I was very sure that he was faking to be asleep to avoid answering their questions.
If only I could send my babies out of the room then I swear that Noah would have either been a dead man or disabled by now!
I'll make him regret this!
By the time I got my thoughts in order, I saw Mika snuggled close to Noah's chest, already fast asleep. Thankfully, she wasn't persistent in knowing what I was doing at Noah's legs.
I moved my gaze to Skyler, who was still standing at the door, and my lip curved into a warm smile.
"Why are you still standing there, Skye? Comm'n, climb up the bed," I said, patting on a space.
"No, I don't want to." He shook his head and I arched an eyebrow in confusion.
Why doesn't he want to stay with us?
I was curious, almost getting anxious in thoughts that something was wrong.
"Yeah," He mumbled drowsily. "I don't want to be squished cruelly like the sardines in the toasts Dad made for us while you were away, Mum," Skyler bluntly blurted out with a straight face, and I almost burst into crazy laughter, totally understanding what he meant.
Gosh, Skyler could be so sharp with his words sometimes but it surprisingly brightened my mood.
"You shouldn't say such things about your father, Skye. You know your dad isn't a good cook but at least he tries his best to prepare an edible meal for you guys. You should appreciate him and not say such words," I corrected, fighting to hold my laugh in as I grinned widely like a fish head.
"I'm sorry, Mum," He apologized with a straight face, but I saw the sincere look in his blue eyes, and I smiled.
"It's fine, Hun. But if you are not here to sleep next to me then why did you come here with your siblings?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I wanted to have water from the jug in our room, but it was empty; that's why I'm here, 'cause I can't sleep without drinking some water. Can you please follow me to the kitchen to get some water?" Skyler requested, and I was taken aback cause I knew Noah also can't sleep whenever he's thirsty at night.
I should have filled up the jug in their room with water before I left them but I forgot.
"Okay, let's go," I said as I got down from the bed and took Skyler to the kitchen.
Once he had quenched his thirst, he went straight into his room after giving me soft kisses on both of my cheeks and wishing me a good night's sleep. I reciprocated his actions with my heart full of love before shutting the door behind me.
I returned to my room, where Tyler and Mika lay on the center of the king-sized bed, fully dozing off into their Dreamland, and I quietly got into the blanket with them.
Before I knew it, Tyler turned to my side and wrapped his little hands around me; his little snores singing into my ears like music as I hugged him back and slowly shut my eyes into a deep slumber.
