Veronica’s P.O.V.She was staring at me from her table which was located at few meters away. I know what she is thinking; I can see the suspicions in her eyes when the girl sitting in front of her brought her attention towards me. Though she looks dubious of my presence, she hasn’t yet understood what’s in store for her now. This bitch took what was initially supposed to be mine, she stole away my Mason and I’m going to make sure she pays for it.
And I know exactly what to do.
I have to thank her for giving me the idea, if it wasn’t for her coming to the supermarket, that too with her kid or should I say kids; I wouldn’t have found the perfect solution for my problem. Now her kids are going to help me to snatch Mason form her and this time I’ll make sure that there’s never going back. The words ‘Mommy’ leaving the boy’s mouth that caught my attention at the supermarket was enough to come up with this devious plan. And I thank the Moon Goddess for keeping me alert in an adequate amount in order to remind me to collect evidence and that’s when I planned to record that shit.
When I recorded it, I knew she felt my presence, not mine but someone presence or eyes on her as she was very twitchy; even after all this, I knew this particular video isn’t enough to make Mason rain fire on this bitch named Isabella, I need more convincing proofs. And then as if the Goddess was granting me all my wishes, I saw her pack’s Beta; the boys were delighted seeing him and he even hugged the bitch; and me being the smart bitch I am, I recorded it as well. You can say that since then I’ve been following her and pretty much recorded her movement every chance I got.
You never know which part might come handy.
I know she is talking about me as the girls are sneaking glances at me and when she smiles looking at her phone and blushes while texting, it doesn’t take a genius to know who it’s from.
My Mason.
Without even realizing, my fist clenches at the thought of them together and a low growl leaves my mouth, this catches the girl’s attention as she looks at me suspiciously. I cannot just get up and leave or else her speculations will be proved right, so I ignore her stares and focus on stuffing the fries down my throat; I’m almost done when I see Bella turning her phone off as she brings her attention towards the girls and then to me, looking all smug.
I’m so going to make her pay for it all.
Just wait and WATCH.
Isabella’s P.O.V.I have a Date.
With this thought I was brimming with excitement looking forward to it, so I ignored the bitch that was throwing daggers at me from a few tables away. I looked at my sisters and said, feeling all giddy “I have a Date in the evening” with a cheesy 100-watt smile. Mia instantly smiled at me and whispered, “Someone’s excited.”
Iris on the other hand stood up, shocking both of us at her strange behavior; she looked frantic as she moved her eyes from us to the boys and then back at us. I was about to ask her, whether she was okay; when she spoke beforehand, “Oh shit. It’s already 2.30, we hardly have a few hours to get you ready; come on let’s go.” She turned to the boys and said, “Boys, time to go. Come on hurry up.”
All three boys stare at her as if she had to be joking, Lucas kind of looked pissed; I know why, it’s because they were still stuffing their faces with ice-creams and Iris indirectly told them to get rid of it and trust me when I say this, no one messes with their ice-creams, they turn into mini Hulk’s. Winston being the smart kid that he is asks, “Why?” She looks at me and then at them, turning back towards me with a Cheshire cat smile, looking at her I have a feeling that whatever is going to leave her mouth is not going to be good, as she said, “Because mommy has a date.”
She did not just say that to them!
Hearing her words, my mouth falls open as three pair of eyes turn to look at me with amusement and lots of questions dancing in them, I avoid their eyes as I look everywhere except at them. A few minutes pass, when I hear Theo ask in a heavy voice which I never knew he had, “With whom?”
Isn’t he too small for such a heavy voice?
Iris doesn’t answer for a while and he moves his attention towards me as he asks again, “Who are you going with mommy?” I look at him, a little stressed about how to explain it to him, when Lucas says, “Mommy, you are making Theo angry.”
Angry?
My babies know what anger is? That’s weird I think as I move my attention back towards Theo and see him clenching his fist as he stares at me, I gulp the saliva down as I say, “I… uh… I… Date…” Winston notices my uneasiness as he gets down from his chair and walks towards me, wrapping his arms around me, he asks, “Don’t worry mommy, I’ll protect you.”
Oh my baby, he thinks Theo is going to hurt me.
A small laugh escapes my mouth as I look at him and then I hear Theo say in his usual baby voice, “I’m not going to hurt mommy, winsy. Why would you say that?” Now he is upset at Winston’s words, I open my arms for him and he comes running followed by Lucas as I engulf them in a warm hug and say, “I know baby. You will never hurt me, you know why?” I ask, all three of them look at me and shake their head to answer with a no and I continue, “Because you all love me, just as much as I love you all.”
“Sorry mommy” I hear Theo mumble. I drop a small peck on his head as Lucas asks, “But why you are not telling us with whom are you going for the date?” I visibly stiffen at his question, they never leave a topic till they get their answers and I know I’m trapped with this question forever now. I think about it for a minute, when someone clears their throat. All us look at the origin of voice and see that Iris is staring back at us, she gives me a small nod as she says, “I’ll tell you.”
My eyes widen at her words, what is she doing? She is going to get me in more trouble than I’m already in. I look at her with a questioning expression as I ask her what she is doing. She ignores my stare and turns towards the boys and says, “She is going on a date with daddy.”
Daddy!
Oh goddess. What has she done? The boys look at me to confirm her words; I look at Iris one last time before moving my attention back to the boys and give them a curt nod with a small smile as a smile of their own forms on their faces. They look happy, and I know it’s not because I’m going on a date for the first time but because of with whom I’m going. Their daddy, I can see the hopes lingering in their eyes as they look at each other, gushing with excitement about the same; they think that their dreams of meeting their daddy is about to be fulfilled soon enough and it can be seen in the every step they take towards the car as it holds a little jump of its own as we leave from McDonalds.
They car ride is silent, except for the boys mumbling about what they are going to do when they meet their daddy; Theo’s statement even makes me laugh as he says, “I’m going to make daddy take a time out for being away from us and making mommy do all the work.” He seriously is going to cause a lot of trouble as he grows up, I can sense it now. Once we reach home, its already 3 pm; I take the boys upstairs and get them changed and put them to bed for their afternoon nap, of course they resisted as they wanted to gush about their imaginary daddy. But I terrorized them with time out and they finally went to sleep.
I went to my room and searched for clothes to wear for this date, which has got everyone hyped about. Finally deciding on black jeans with a white and blue floral umbrella top and navy blue casual shoes, I set them aside and go downstairs to get everything in their desired cabinets. The girls have disappeared in to their room as soon as they entered the house and by the time I’m done with setting everything in the kitchen, it’s already past 4.30. I start working on some coffee for myself and plan to cook chicken rice for dinner for them as I most probably might be having dinner with Mason.
It takes me about 20 minutes to cook dinner and by 5 pm, I’m done with everything, even my coffee as I finally clean the kitchen and move upstairs to take a warm shower before getting ready. Neither the girls nor the boys have walked out of their rooms, which means only one thing; they are all still dozing off in their beds.
I make my way to my bathroom and turn the shower on to take a nice hot shower; it takes me about 20 minutes to get done with it. I walk out of the bathroom and in my walk in closet as I search for a nice set of lingerie, finally finding the navy blue set, I get dressed in it and move back to the bathroom to blow dry my hair and get them in their natural wavy curls, about 5-7 minutes later, I find my hair worth calling wavy and curly; so I move out to get dressed. Once I’m dressed in my jeans and top, completing the look with small diamond studs; I move towards the dressing table and start applying some makeup which includes kohl, eye-liner and natural pink lipstick. Looking at the end product I’m quite happy at what I see, I rarely dress up with so much determination; also the excitement glimmering in my eyes is not avoidable as I look at myself.
It’s 5.52 pm and I have 8 minutes, before Mason arrives; I wear my shoes, grab my wallet and phone shoving them inside my pocket; I make my way downstairs. I hear the boys in their room, talking and playing with each other; they must have woken up when I was bathing. When I reach downstairs, I see Mia is removing something out of the oven. Ready to eat pizza? Where did they come from? I walk up to her and ask, “Where did you get ready to eat pizzas from?”
She smiles and says, “Rose brought them yesterday, but since we already ate sandwiches, she kept these in the fridge.”
“Ohhh” she reads my body posture and wraps me up in a hug as she mumbles, “Everything is going to be okay Bella. He already loves you so take a deep breath and just go with the flow.”
“Yeah sis, enjoy till it lasts. You’re not going to stay young forever and as for these dates, once you guys mate or get hitched, they will disappear as water disappears from a desert” shouts Iris from the living room, while playing counter strike on the playstation.
When did she get there?
I am busy in my clearing my thoughts and calming myself down, when my phone starts ringing. I take it out of my pocket to see its Mason, a smile grows on my face just by looking at his name; I’m busy staring at it when I feel someone nudge my shoulder. I look at the direction and see Mia mouthing a, “Pick it up.”
I nod and answer the call with, “Hello”
I hear shuffling from the other side followed by a long pause and after a few seconds he speaks, “Hey love. I’m here.”
“Okay” I say, not knowing what to say after it, he speaks again, “Don’t okay me young lady. Get your sexy ass here right now. We don’t want to be late for our very first date.”
I smile at his comment and say, “I’ll be there in a minute.”
“See you soon” he says and disconnects the call without even waiting for my reply; he sound eager, I wonder what he has planned for our first date.
I turn towards Mia and say a small, “Dinner is ready. Have it and then go to bed. Make sure you and the boys are safe and if there’s any kind of emergency give me a call.” She nods after every statement and then starts pushing me towards the door, I see Iris giving me a thumbs up as she says, “All the best sis. Have fun.”
I’m about to leave when the boys come running and wrap their arms around my legs as Winston says, “You look beautiful mommy” Theo looks at me and mumbles, “Don’t be too late mommy and take care” this sneaky little thing is using my statements on me, I’m brought out of my thoughts when Lucas says, “Tell daddy we miss him.”
I nod and look at them one last time as I say, “Don’t trouble your sisters. Be good, have your dinner and go to bed. Mommy will try to be back by then. See you soon. Bye.” Placing kisses on their cheeks and nodding towards my sisters; I leave my house and walk towards my destination.
Within a few minutes, I’m at the pack’s border where I see a black car waiting by the side; as soon as I reach the car, Mason’s handsome face comes into view and he releases a loud audible breath as he says, “I thought you were having thoughts about coming and decided to ditch me.”
I get settled in the passenger seat, placing my hand on his I say, “No amount of thoughts are going to make me ditch you Mason.”
“Promise?” he asks.
“Promise” I answer.
He gives me a warm smile after hearing this as he turns his hand to palm my hand in his own, lacing our fingers together he brings my hand to his mouth and places a small kiss on the back of my hand. Suddenly, his phone starts beeping as if he had set an alarm, did he really? He looks at it and leaves a loud gasp as he says, “Now as of the matter at hand, we are already a bit behind schedule, all thanks to you woman. So to avoid further delay, let’s get this thing started.”
Here’s to my very first date.
