I Found the Babies

Chapter 8

I literally cringed. And probably even I was as red as the Red Room of Pain.

"Want to have your useless little wiener shoved up your ass? Maybe that would count as a no." I retorted, and his smirk widened.

He slung an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer till my side was pressed against his. He then brought his mouth to my ear and breathed out, making me shiver, and said.

"You like it in the ass, babe? Wanna head up to the bedroom?" He purred, in a deep, husky voice, making me shiver once again and I glared at him, ready to punch the pervert out of Terrence Pervert Powers.

He grinned at me once again and said, innocently, "I'm talking about heading to the babies, Alyssa. They are sleeping in the guest bedroom."

I gave him a blank look and shoved him away, ignoring his chuckling. I flipped him the bird as I walked away, thinking of ways to chase away the heated blush that seemed to be an unwanted visitor to my cheeks, gracing it in the past few days more than it ever did in my lifetime.

Terrence Powers was surely going to be the death of me.

"Alyssa?"

"Hm?"

"We need to talk about something."

I looked up at Terrence and gulped. This could be it. This could be where he would claim the babies and take them away for me. And that was when I realised that those bloody words, we need to talk, the dread accompanying those bloody words could destroy any kind of relationship.

Could be a romantic one, could be anything else.

I was horrified, really, and wanted the moment to stop right there, because I wanted to stay just the way I was, with both the babies snuggled up to me and sleeping peacefully. I was sure that they could hear my heart pacing madly, and I could feel my nerves go haywire. I realised that I was all alone right now, it was his house, probably his babies and he would easily throw me out if he wanted to.

Please, no.

He gauged my expressions for a moment and realised that I was utterly horrified. Maybe because that's what the words 'we need to talk' did to you.

"Look, Alyssa, look at me." He said, shuffling closer to me.

I looked up at him, repressing my urge to bawl out.

"Alyssa. I don't know what you are thinking right now, because you look really scared. It's not like I'm breaking up with you or something, because firstly, we aren't together-together and I would never do that, you three mean too much to me." He paused, firmly holding my chin in place, "Especially you, Alyssa, you have no idea how much you mean to me. And I also know that you think I'm around just for the babies, but it's actually being with you that's worth the stay."

My eyes widened and I looked at him, dumbfounded. My heart was beating faster now and my brain had probably crawled out of my skull because that was how I felt at that. I wanted nothing but to lose myself in those blue depths, the same blue depths I fell in love with the moment I first saw two pairs of them. The same blue depths that were gazing down at me with so many strong emotions, that my breath hitched and I lost my nerves.

The Terrence effect, yeah.

We were both sitting cross-legged on the bed in Terrence's guest bedroom, with me leaning on the headboard and him on the other end of the bed. He sighed and came closer to sit in front of me, our knees pressed up close. I was still not saying anything, because I didn't know what I wanted to say. He had proved me wrong when I was thinking that I was nothing but a babysitter to him - the sincerity that reflected in those blue orbs, the affection were palpable even from a distance and I knew I was so wrong. And with that, the walls came down and once again I found my heart swelling, and my feelings for him growing.
