I smiled lovingly at Michael as he walked out of the room, closing the door gently behind him. I never knew who I had helped in my life before that made God make him my soulmate but I'm still glad that we are back together against all odds… I stood up and walked to his closet, I picked one of his Louis Vuitton briefs and put it on while rummaging through for his tee shirts. I saw one white that caught my attention, I pulled it out of the stack and was surprised to see that it was still new with the tag. I gasp at the million dollars tee shirt in my hands. I keep forgetting how rich Michael is. I shrugged and put on the top before going back to pick up my dress which Michael had ruined from his rush to undress me. I was about to take it to the trash bin when my phone rang in my bag. I walk to the dresser at the edge of the bed to pick it up while thinking that it was my dad. Immediately, I brought the phone out of my bag, I was surprised to see Danny calling. My heart skips a beat when I remember that it could be Lillian? I accepted the calls while praying that she should be alright? “ Hi! Nina. I'm sorry for disturbing you this late at night but I_____” “ Danny, what's wrong? What happened to Lillian? Please tell me something” I screamed up at him when he was quiet on the other line. I was going insane with worry while he was being silent. What could have happened to Lillian? “ Calm down, Nina. Nothing is wrong with Lillian. I bring you good news” Danny explained gently. I paused while wondering what the good news could be? Or has the police found Deborah'' Good news?” I asked him again to be sure that I heard alright. “ Yes, Nina. Lillian has put to bed” “ Really! Oh my God! Congratulations, Danny. I'm so happy for you” I screamed excitedly. I was so happy, never in a million years would I have imagined Lillian with a kid. I was always the family type while Lillian was always the freedom type but life doesn't give you what you want. I pull out of my thoughts in time to hear Danny saying that they were at Thompson's hospital. I hung up the call with a broad smile on my face, the door opened and Michael walked in with an equal smile on his face too. “ Have you heard the news?” We both called out to each other at the same time. Michael paused and burst out laughing, I couldn't help joining him as we both laughed. “ How did you know?” I asked him shocked, I mean Danny was talking to me on the phone just now there was no way he would be talking to him too. “ You keep forgetting that I am the CEO of Thompson's Hospital. I have my ways” Michael replied winking at me as he handed me a glass of coffee and a burnt egg that looked like a scrambled egg but this was an ugly version of it. He scratched his back, gently embarrassed with his cooking skills“ I'm sorry, Emma has gone to bed and I didn't want to disturb her.” Michael called out to me as he apologized profusely for the burnt egg. I smiled at him as I accepted the cup of coffee but refused the burnt egg. I couldn't eat that ugly-looking thing even in the name of love“ It's okay. I know the kitchen isn't your specialty” I replied winking at him as I put the cup in my mouth. I took a sip of the coffee before abandoning it on the dresser. I turned to glare at my ruined dress on the bed. How was I supposed to get to the hospital when my dress was ruined thanks to this sex_ starved_ sexy_man _god. “You can always help yourself to the content of the wardrobe. It has always belonged to you” Micheal said as if he could read my thoughts. I turned to stare at him with surprise, he waves me off in the direction of the wardrobe beside his. I let my legs carry me to where he was pointing at even though I wasn't expecting anything unique but as soon as I opened the door of the wardrobe, I was shocked to see that he had brought the whole shopping mall into the room as everything in there were from different designers all over the world. I was about to refuse when I remembered that I needed to get to the hospital fast to see Lillian. I grab a blue simple gown with a scanty flare at the knee. I put it on as Michael stood to look at me appreciatively with a smile on his face. “ What?” I called shyly to him, I was getting confused with his look“ Don't you like it?” “ Like it?” Michael scoffed as he came over to peck me on my lips lightly“ I love it, amore. Seeing you right now seems like a dream to me” I smiled at him as I stepped out of his embrace to get my flat sandal and purse. I turned back to see that Michael was also ready in casual jeans and a white tee. We both stepped out of the door with Michael's hand at my back guiding me gently down the stairs and out of the door to the parking lot where Victor, Vino, and Mark were waiting for us. We all got into the car as Mark pulled out of the parking lot and took the route to the hospital. I ran down the corridor into the reception to see a nurse going to a visitor's log in front of her. I stood panting out of breath as I tried to bring my breathing back to normal. I had run down the parking lot to the hospital without waiting for Michael. “ How can I help you, Miss?” The nurse receptionist called to me with a smile on her face but she wasn't really looking at me as her eyes lit up. Immediately she recognized the Thompson's brothers. I rolled my eyes at her attitude and was about to respond when Michael beat me to it…“ We are here to see, Mrs. Martins. Which ward is she in?” Michael told her with an impatient edge in his voice. I turned to stare at him shocked, I still can't believe that this was the same man I was with a while ago who was gentle and calm with me but here he was now looking like the ruthless CEO he was. Michael noticed my eyes on him, he turned to look at me, his face softening a fraction more as he smiled at me. I scoffed at him and turned to the lady who was going through the patient's ward searching for Lillian's name. “ I found her. She's in the VIP's ward. If you'll want, I could take you_____” Michael took my hands and dragged me down the corridor into the elevator without waiting for the nurse to complete her sentence. Vino and Victor followed behind us a bit quieter than usual. “ You could have waited for us to tell her‘ Thank you’” I complained to him but Michael scoffed and turned to smile at me. “ She works for me, I don't need to tell her ‘thank you” Michael replied, mimicking me. I glared at him with pouted lips but he bent down to kiss my lips lightly without bothering that his brothers were in the elevator with us. I was beyond embarrassed, I put my head down all through the elevator's ride and only lifted it when we were about to exit the elevator. Lillian was sleeping on the bed when we walked into the room while Danny was standing at the baby's crib gazing into his eyes lovingly. I swallowed the lump of jealousy in my throat as I forced my way from the doorway into the room. Michael and his brothers' shout of congratulations woke Lillian up. She smiled as soon as she saw me and tried to stand up“ Nina, you're here. How are you?” She called out to me after greeting both Michael and his brothers. I left my place at the baby's crib and made my way to the bed where Lilian was seated“ Hey!” I called to her with a smile on my face. I reach out to hold her hands. “How are you? Hope it wasn't stressful?” I asked her, causing Lillian to scoff. “ Stressful? It was more, that little godson of yours nearly took my sanity” Lillian complained as I smiled at her. I was so happy for her, her little family was finally complete. Michael reached out to hold my hands across the bed, giving me a knowing look like he could tell exactly what I was thinking. I looked away from him back to Lillian who was smiling at me excitedly. “ What?” I asked her surprised and a little self-conscious of myself. I had to explain myself when Lillian raised her eyebrows at me “ Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked her again to be sure. Lillian smiled and moved closer to whisper to me“ I can see that you've already had sex with Michael” She told me causing me to jump in surprised.I blush furiously while bowing my face away from her ever knowing eyes. How did she know? Surely, it isn't written all over my face, right? “ Lillian. Gosh! Will you stop being so obvious” I told her hiding my face while Lillian kept on laughing excitedly. “ How did you know? I mean it isn't written on my face or is it?” I asked her, still shocked to see that she could still read me like a book. I have always been told that my face was an open book, it is no wonder Michael could tell what was wrong with me without me having to say anything to him. “ From your face of course?” Lillian replied shrugging like it was simple, anyone with two eyeballs could tell that I just had sex. “ What's on my face?” I asked her again, forcing her to tell me how she knew that we just did it “ Your face has that glow! I only just guess but your reaction confirmed it” “ Whatever,” I told her as I stepped away from the bed back to where my godson was still sleeping soundly on his crib. The men have moved their discussion out of the room into the hallway. I couldn't help stealing glances at Michael, he was seriously saying something to them. I would have loved to know what he was saying to them but my phone chose that moment to ring. I knew even before I picked it up that it was my dad calling. I mean it's almost two a.m, he's bound to worry as I had left home without informing him. I can't believe it's been almost a day since I crashed Deborah's wedding party. “ Nina Miller” Dad screamed at me. I screeched as I pulled the phone away from my ear while earning a knowing look from Lillian. “ Where have you been? Do you know how worried we are?” Dad continued again but this time he was more gentle and soft. I could hear mom's voice in the background telling him to calm down. I smile unconsciously at mom, she's always defending me. “ I'm sorry dad, I forgot to call you. I'm at the hospital” I told him, dad screamed and went on ranting about what I was doing in a hospital. Was I sick? I nearly rolled my eyes at him. “ Relax dad, I'm okay. Lillian has just put to bed?” I told Dad as he screamed and asked to speak to Lillian. I gave the phone to Lillian and tuned out of their conversation while I played with my godson who was already awake and was grabbing my fingers tightly. I could help but visualize that it was my baby and Michael's. My eyes immediately went to him, only to see that he was staring at me with such emotions in his face that I couldn't decipher Dad soon ended his call with Lilian and told her to give me the phone. As soon as I placed the phone on my ear, dad went on to say“ I need you at home first thing tomorrow morning, okay?”“Yes dad” I replied and hung up just as the door opened and the men came back into the room. We spent the rest of the morning chatting and walking down the memories lane before I could bring myself to go home...
