Luminous Fire

25. Fun Times

At last the chapter is here. Sorry for taking a while, but I had no inspiration on how to write it.

Xavier's POV

"Oriel, I want your help?" 

"With what?"

"A present for Cristian."

"You've never asked for my help." Oriel responds suspiciously.

Why did I agree I would help? "I've asked Ryan for help before." I lie.

"Hmm, so am I supposed to go to your house?"

"Yes, please and then we'll take my car."

"Okay, when?"

"This Saturday morning."

"But Evelin is coming over." 

"It won't take us long and isn't she coming at noon."

"Ugh, yes, okay, only because it's for Cristian."

"Okay, see you then. Thanks."

"Yes, bye."

"Bye."

"What did he say?" Cristian asks when I hang up.

"He said he'll be here Saturday morning."

"Yes. Thanks." He says enthusiastically. "So you are all right with staying with the twins and Rocky?"

"Yes."

"Ryan and Alex will come over too."

"Do you think I can't handle the twins all day?" I smile.

"You'll need a break." He says. "Besides, it's continued practice for Ryan and Alex. I know Ryan and Katelyn want children."

"You don't need to worry. Saturday will be great."

"Okay."

"So what are you doing Saturday?" I ask.

"Hmm, haven't decided yet. Maybe bowling, lunch, shopping, or karaoke?"

"That's a fun filled Saturday."

"Yes and you, anything special planned for our twins?"

"The park, out to eat, back to the house and movies."

"Remember don't let them eat too much dessert or they'll be up late."

"I know."

"Just making sure." Cristian smiles. "Because I'm not staying up with them if they are awake."

"I'll stay up if I let them have too much sugar." I say.

"I'll hold you up to it." He responds.

Cristian's POV

"Babies, I have something to tell you?" Xavier says.

"What dad?" Celestine asks.

Angel turns to give him his attention too.

"You know I travel for work."

"Yes." Celestine whispers.

"It's work. I'll be gone during the week for a few weeks, but I'll come back home during the weekends. It won't be for too long."
