Mansion

"Bestie, Bestie am here " Ray shouted.

Camilla walked down the stairs with the maid's help she held a frown on her face.

"Can you stop shouting your voice makes me sick " said Camilla.

Ray turned around to see her reach him. He paused and moved back looking at her.

"Bestie, what happened to you? Your belly is so huge " he shouted.

Camilla moved and slapped his back.

"Is that what brought you here, to mock my growing baby bump " she pushed him away.

Ray shook his head, "No, I was just stunned since I haven't seen you in a while and since you moved into this mansion your so rare "

"It's only been three months since I left my place and moved here and the others have been visiting me it was only you who wasn't here," she said as they walked to the living room.

"I was away for business with Dad and he could not even allow me to make a phone call to my girlfriend. So I didn't know anything that was going on till I returned today ". Ray grabbed her hand, " I rushed to your place but you had left and when I called Chris he told me you moved here "

"We didn't want his father to be alone in the mansion so I decided we move here and keep him company "

"But what about the restaurant?" Ray asked.

"I handle most of the work from home and the rest is up to Ben and Ritah. I go there once in a while 'cause now my condition is getting serious " she rubbed her belly.

"This place is big don't you get lonely too, cause I think your father-in-law is always busy with his work "

"We are all busy but get time in the evening after dinner to chat and have a little fun," she said.

A maid bought tea and biscuits for Ray and then melon juice for Camilla.

"How is the baby doing, is he healthy?" he asked.

"His okay and developing wonderful "

"That's good, so have you heard anything from your ex-mother-in-law?" he asked.

"No, since that day we have never heard anything from her again. At first, I thought she would pop out and hurt us but it never happened so with time we let it be " she said.

"I saw the guards outside, I don't think Chris has the same idea as you. His mother was never the type to give up so why do you think she disappeared like that?"

Camilla shrugged, "Chris is just being overprotective. And as long as she doesn't hurt me or my loved ones then I won't bother thinking about her anymore "

"I hope your right bestie " Ray sighed.

"So have you talked to Rachel yet since you got back?" Camilla asked.

"No, as I said before I rushed here and haven't even called her," he said.

"Call her now and tell her your back " Camilla pointed at his phone. He nodded and grabbed it.

Rachel was angry but soon gave in when Ray said he was at Camilla's. Smiling he hangs up.

"Camilla, Rachel is coming over is that okay?" he asked.

She nodded, "She has been coming over so I enjoy her company more than yours " she giggled.

Ray and Camilla decided to make dinner together with the help of the cook.

Chris returned home with Jack. Asked where Camilla was as they were directed to the kitchen.

As they got closer they could hear the giggles of Ray and Camilla coming from the kitchen.

"Babe, your home " Camilla got up from where she was sitting and ran to Chris. He opened his arms and hugged her placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Thought you left already?" Jack asked Ray

"Wanted to help my bestie with making dinner and also see you guys " he gave them a smile walking to where Jack was.

Jack moved back pushing his brother in front of him.

Ray stopped seeing Chris's cold glance.

They moved to the living room when Rachel arrived.

"It's been long since we last had dinner together " Ray gazed around.

"It's only you who hasn't been around, we have been having dinner like this sometimes when we were all free" Rachel pushed him away.

The doorbell rang and the maid opened it. It was Alfred just back from his one-week trip.

"Hello everyone," his deep voice said. Jack was up in a second the moment his voice was heard.

Alfred opened his arms and held him, "Babe " he murmured. Jack held onto him for a few minutes then slowly pulled away staring into his green eyes.

Camilla had made the others leave them alone and headed to the dining table.

"I thought you would be back next week?" asked Jack.

"Let my residents take the rest of the work and came back early " he smiled down at him.

"That's good but will they be able to handle it?" he asked.

Alfred chuckled, "don't worry babe, my residents are as good as me. And I made sure the hardest part was handled before I left it "

"Mmm, okay. Am glad your back now you can rest too before you head back to the hospital " Jack said letting go of Alfred but he held on to his waist still looking down at him.

"I missed you, Babe. " he said

Jack looked away with a blushed face, " I missed you too "

"Let's go home then " Alfred whispered into his ear.

"But sister-in-law made dinner," Jack said still trying to pull away from Alfred's hold.

"I don't think Camilla would mind if we miss this one. She will understand that you had to welcome your husband back home. Now let's go " he said pulling Jack to the door.

"But, but..." he wanted to protest but Alfred still moved to the door.

"Excuse me " a maid stopped them.

"Yes," Alfred replied stopping.

She passed a package to Jack, "Mrs.Huntsman said you can take your dinner and have it with your husband "

"Tell her we are grateful and sorry we could not join them, " Jack said as Alfred dragged him out of his father's mansion.

"I used a cab to get here so lets us use your car," Alfred said. Jack nodded and they got in.

"How did you know I would be here instead of going home?" Jack asked as they drove off.

"Texted your brother if you both were working late and he said you would be heading home early 'cause Camilla and Ray were probably be making dinner. So I came straight here when my plane landed ". he moved and grabbed Jack's free hand.

" I missed you and you seemed busier than me," he said.

"Am sorry it's just since I decided to start working with brother, I have more and more work every day that I rarely have time to reply to your text " Jack apologized.

"Now am back so we will make up for the lost time " Alfred kissed Jack's hand.

"But I have work tomorrow " he frowned.

"No you don't, your brother told me I can take you for two weeks to make up for the two weeks I was away " he chuckled.

Jack was speechless as he looked at Alfred and then returned to the road.

"So don't worry about work, love, and just get ready for the two weeks we are going to be together " he smiled.

Jack smirked pulling away his hand from Alfred's hold.

"You creep " he muttered.
