38| Disadvantages of distance relationship

Please answer my question first then I'll tell you why I asked. If for instance you have kids just for those who doesn't have any yet or maybe you'd have kids already, please at least be sincere with me, at what time do you think is the best time for kid's bedtime?

Because as am speaking right now, these munchkins and pumpkins aren't ready to take a nap neither are they ready to dose off to slumber. Billy sneaked in few minutes ago while I was relaxing and enjoying my comedy show in the room. Because his two sisters won't let him enjoy the horror slash gothic movie he was watching in Netflix.

Not my type of genre anyway.

I never wanted him to join the privacy but since it was just me in the room and Dexter was busy trying to fix things out—yeah the truth about the broken spell from today's test earlier with his brother, I allowed Billy in only on one condition, because he's not noisy unlike his sisters who fights and drags for TV remote control all the time.

Not even up to two minutes after Billy came in, a knock broke our attention from the TV's screen. I groaned. Billy sat on the floor, eyes focused before it got distracted by the knock.

He's too serious when it comes to movie of his choice.

I didn't stress myself to say 'COME IN' before the whosoever—geez!

Becca and Bella?

"What are these two doing here now?" Billy growled in frustration.

Even me. I would have liked to do the same thing too but they're my kids. I can't drive them out when I already allowed Billy in. I didn't bother to say the word, I just relaxed my head on the headboard with one of my arms crest above my head.

They gave me pitiful eyes and still not approving their uninvited visit. Billy gave them deadly glares but they just ignored him and walked straight to the bed.

I groaned inwardly. Now they won't let me rest too. I know they disturbed Billy that's why he left the room for the both of them and now that they're both tired of fighting for 'Who's gonna watch the channel I turn on' they decided to come join us.

I can see Becca's eyes hovering around as she search for the TV's remote control which I already hid under the pillow. While Billy disconnected his gaze from them as he focused on TV. When I tilt my brows in a question mark, she shook her head, scratching the back of her head. She knows I don't take shit.

You're in my room young lady, you don't give the rules here. You follow the given rules.

Bella didn't even bother to throw any signal as she looks too tired to win a fight. She climbed the bed without my permission and came sitting next to me. Thereafter, she laid beside me, placing her head on my chest. I just rolled my eyes beneath the ceilings as I hear her breathing softly like a baby while keeping her eyes on HENRY DANGER NICKELODEON.

I'm sure the TV's remote control in their room must have been broken by now.

Becca saw Bella acting like mommy's girl on me, she didn't lose-guard too as she joined from the other side, causing me to wrap both arms around them. Billy always behaves maturely and that's why I love my boy.

Billie eilish– 'my boy.'

I thought Bella was already asleep but it's not her ghost roaming her palms on my belly, right?

"Momma, are we gonna have another sibling?"

Another—what?!

(o_O)

"Bella, where is this coming from?" I adjusted my weight a bit upward, still trying hard not to laugh on her words.

I thought I'd end there but I think she still has something to say. Sometimes, I don't see my last daughter's speech as childish. Are words are just too mature at age seven.

"Well....." Her fingers drawing circles on my flat stomach. "I want to have a sibling that'll look like Daddy Dexter." Her lips pouted.

I chuckle softly, stroking my fingers through her brown straight hair. "Honey dear, your new dad and I are just friends for—the now." I say, holding my words through my teeth. "And he's just a nice man to everyone, isn't it?"

Seems like my little girl is upset for my words and not her snoring fast asleep sister beside me. "Of course I know. We all know, momma, but we want you two to get married. I really like Daddy Dexter to be my new daddy, momma. He's so nice and generous. Please marry him for us."

I can smell the desperation in her words. But whatever that's happening between Dex and I...I believe it to just be a fling. Just a random casual thing that'd happen in the lives of so many people. Apart from the sex, I don't think there's any other strings attached. I don't think he loves me. And as we know, there are big difference between LOVE and LIKE. He'll get tired of me one day and might even ask us to move on.

Before I could give her feedback, Billy got up from the ground, dosing like the walking dead as he managed to reach the doorknob. "Goodnight, mom." He said on his way out before banging the door shut behind him.

A smile crest on my face as I said "Goodnight." to the shut door. I look down on me only to see two adorable cupcakes sleeping soundly. Bella who just spoke to me not too long is now sleeping?

Is she a myth?

A yawn escapes her little mouth and then, she mapped her lips like a baby mumbling something in her sleep. I stroke my fingers through their hair, busy thinking how the fuck am I gonna take them to their room. While same time, I was thinking about what Bella said.

She's the only one that'd say things and it comes to pass like a little god. I wonder if this one will come to pass, but though, I never wanted it to happen. I hope I'm not pregnant, still, why is my tummy warm for the past few weeks now?

Just when I was about dosing off too, the door opened softly, causing it to make little screaky sound. Dexter walked in gracefully like a king in a majestic style. With my sleepy eyes, I still recognize him as I smile when he kissed the top of my head. "It took you so long to convince him."

"Yeah, I know. He's not an easygoing person." He said, lifting Becca on one of his shoulders while placing Bella on the other.

So he meant with all those baby monsters sleeping on his shoulders, he still got the strength and ability to carry them? He's a man but if it was to be me? I'd be visiting the Orthopedic surgeon ASAP.

"My Angels are fast asleep already. They came here on their own or you brought them over?" He asked, walking to the door.

"Really? You think I kinda love disturbances?" I gasped, making sure not to wake them up. If not.....? Another problem.

Just the saying goes. Have one child equals to one problem. So the number of your kids determine the number of issues, worries and problem you'd have in your everyday life.

"Come on, I'm just kidding. Look at your eyes almost falling off its sockets." He chuckled, walking out of the room to get the kids to sleep in theirs.

After a few seconds of loneliness in the room—though I already turned off the TV. It's late and I don't want the neighbors to think here is a cinema or movie house or something. Dexter walked in again, this time with much smile on his face as he crosses his arms, leaning his back against the shut down behind him.

The last thing I want to see him do right now is lock the door with the keys and pounce on me like a lion over a raw piece of meat.

"Stop giving me those pervert eyes, you're not purified." I teased him and he chuckled.

"You have no idea why am staring at you, right?"

"Well...., Yeah!" I shrugged, shyly.

He stares at me for a little while before deciding to move away from where he was standing and come join me on the king-sized bed.

He pushed the sheets before climbing the bed, then he covered our bodies underneath the sheet. I faced him, causing us to look into each other's eyeballs. The back of his hand came massaging the side of my face as my smile motivated him to plant a soft kiss on my forehead.

"So...what did he say? Did he accept the truth now?" I ask and for good one minute there wasn't a quick response from him.

He inhales softly and exhaled sharply. "At first, he got mad at me for lying that I saw something on his hair this morning, then two, he cried for knowing that he's out of the curse but never knew all these years. Then three he said he's gonna accompany you to her place tomorrow morning so they can both talk things out like adults."

Not too sure if I'll have the chance to go to Alyssa's place in the morning. But I can drop Dave by and come see her in the evening time when I'm closed at work.

"Did you inform your parents about it yet?"

"Umm...." His eyes looking at the side of my hair which his fingers were stroking. "Actually, we will but that's gonna be later."

"Why later?" My brows creased quizzically. "The earlier the better, honey. It's appropriate for your parents to find out too. They can't just believe anything that tradition tells them. Especially stocking the guys poor innocent life since birth."

I speak for rights and justice!

Too bad am not a team of the Justice league.

Tsk....

"You still don't get it, my love." He moved closer to me until no space between us. "If mom and dad finds out too soon, they'll have to inform Dave's woman immediately."

Dave's woman? Tell me that guy is not married yet because I still choose my best friend for him. They're such a good match. "He is already married?" My brows awaiting for a quick response.

Dexter rolled his eyes, smacking his palm on his face as he groaned quietly. "No, baby. But he's in a serious relationship with a girl he met in college." He paused for a while when I didn't say anything, "Wait, wait, wait, don't tell me you fell for his teases?"

I shrugged.

Maybe.

"Come on, honey. When he said if I hadn't made a quick move on you, he would have gotten you, he was just kidding."

"Kidding?"

"Yes." He laughed at the hilarious expression on my face. "Dave already has someone else in his life." His laughter died and his face came back to seriousness and reality. "He has been dating this woman for the past ten years now. I'm fucking sick of them still dating, I just can't wait for them to get married."

"But why didn't he bring her along with him?" I placed my head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.

His jaw rested on the top of my head with one of his fingers stroking through my straight fallen brunette hair. "They're in a distance relationship, my love. She works outside the country and Dave only works here, so you see work has totally demarcated them."

I kept quiet for a while, trying to process what he just said and what I should ask. I got a sharp shooting question to ask. "Honey?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Do you think Dave and the woman strongly love each other and won't cheat since it's a distance relationship?"

Of course it's a sharp shooting question. Dexter made an affirmative sound, tilting his head sideways in a random move as he tries to get his brain cells together as he thinks. "Umm....., As for me, what I think in such issues like this, I think either of them might cheat without the other person knowing that an affair is already going on."

Exactly.

"But you see this distance relationship has alot of disadvantages." He sighed. "Trust begins to die. Patience begins to turn weary and infatuation for anyone that comes in is always involved."

I lifted my head to him, a smile on my face. "How did you know all of these?"

One of his fingers took my face up by the chin. A seducing smirk on his lips, "Come on, just put us in that shoes for instance. We're enjoying our relationship and what we have, right? Then just think of something or anything coming in between of which I know it won't happen."

"Hmm, is it?" I peck his lips, playing to go on top of him now, "Do you believe that something might come between us or wanna come in between us?" My hands are finding their way to his pants while his hands are pushing down the hem of my handless nightgown.

We started mumbling something in our romantic kiss while trying to take off whatever cloths that's on us. But just then........

"Momma?!" The door pushed open. We startled for a moment, leaving each other's bodies in a dash as we fall back to our side of the bed.

"Isabella?!" I snapped, fixing my dress back to normal. "You should be asleep in your room, don't you know it's pass bedtime already?"

Her hair looks so messy. She held on the stuff pink teddy with the red ribbon around its neck. Dexter gifted her on her seventh birthday. "I had a nightmare. Can I come in?"

"No—"

"Yes, my dear." Why is Dexter always nice to them than me? I haven't even completed my words yet and he invited her in when we are about to go for a midnight fresh round?

Fuck!

I hate distractions!

Argh!!!!!!!!!!! It freaks me out so much not when am turning horny. My hole was ready to yell out Dexter's name tonight and this barbie girl from the unknown world came and ruin it!

At once, Bella happily shut the door and dash up to join us on the bed. She stayed at the middle, hugging her little teddy bear. But when our eyes jammed, she gulped fearfully.

My dark fiery eyes are throwing out warning signals. I know she didn't had any fucking nightmares, she just want to see how the night's going in here.

Dexter pulled the sheets on us, protecting our bodies from the room temperature. He turned off the lamplight and everybody went to sleep.

Damn it!

This is not how am expecting my night to end. I was hoping to get sore till I want no more.

Turns out to be the opposite.
