His hand found its way up her head and he deepened the kiss, savouring the taste of her before he broke the kiss.

Their expression mirrored each other when they pulled apart. Both smiled at each other with love.

"I do miss you. It's so good to see you." He told her.

"Me too," she answered truthfully. "How long do you stand watching our little drama?"

"Not quite long. But it's great having happy souls inside my boring house."

"And they couldn't stop talking about your boring house. They are fascinated by everything here. Your house is like a paradise."

"I should be proud then."

"Yes, " she replied. "I should go upstairs to answer those girls and... Moreover, you look quite exhausted. You should go take your bath. I will help set the table for your food."

"Thanks. But don't worry. I will do it myself. You should take care of your siblings."

"I do this at home for my dad. It's nothing. Go take your bath. I'm sure those girls are busy talking about something so unnecessary when they should be sleeping."

He chuckled. "Yes, mom," he said and she rolled her eyes. He kissed her on the cheek and he took his bag from the sofa and went away.

When Lola got to the room, the twins were still in the bathroom dancing and playing under the shower.

"Big sis, the water is so cold," they said joyfully wrapping their body with their hands.

"Why did you turn on the shower?! I already prepared your water, " she stated. The girls looked at the empty bucket that their sister had filled with water earlier.

"We've finished using it," Tife said.

"And we wanted to try this thing out," Tito said pointing to the different taps.

"Try it out? Do you want to spoil it?"

The girls looked offended. "C'mon, big sis. Is it not to turn it here?"

"Yes. This one makes the water hot. This one brings out cold water," they explained to her and they turned back to her. They grinned at each other when they saw the perplexed look on their elder sister.

Lola face-palmed herself as she watched the girls grin like they were laughing at her frustration

"Beautiful!" Lola muttered under her breath. "Are you done bathing?" she asked them.

They shook their head and answered at the same time. "No."

"You have three minutes. How many minutes?" she asked before they could protest.

And sluggishly, they replied,"Three minutes."

"Better. Three minutes. I'm waiting for you in the room. Be fast."

In less than three minutes, the two girls walked out of the bathroom with identical towels tied around their waists, smiling at each other. They walked up to their elder sister who was tapping on her phone sitting in front of the vanity.

"Sis Lola, we are done," Tife said and she turned to the both of them, then she heaved a sigh.

"God save the both of you. I would have beat that smile off your face, " she said but it didn't diminish their smile. "Tife, go and bring your night robes on the bed." And the girl went to do as she was told. "Come closer Tito." She did.
