A special kind of love

4

Steven as always tries to avoid drinking especially on a working day, only now he was in such heat after the kiss with Gabriela, she was haunting him plaguing his mind he thought that after what happened between them the other night it would have Lessing his needs but it only got stronger he can't think of how much he need her and hate not having her he knew he has to work but after his first drink he had another leading to another he took along shower before falling asleep, he had ask Selena to wake him before taking off to get Adam at school, before she leave she fix him a heavy meal to last him throughout the night,
"You got work?" Sophie ask on meeting Steven in the living room,
"Oh yes
" I didn't realize you were going to be on the evening shift today I can't tell the difference with your work hours anymore " she complain
"Sophie you never could before" Steven said "was there something you want?"
" I didn't know you would be working for the girls wanted to hang out but I told them you were going to be here"
Steven look at his watch, "you still have plenty of time go on call your friends its two in the after noon, and I have to go"
Sophie wait for him to leave before calling and inviting her girls over,
Selena saw Martha at school as she had came to pick up stevia the man who drove her home in the evening ran in to car trouble and call at the last minute, Selena offer her a ride home on reaching the gate of their home Martha got out but stevia didn't she wave at her,"bye grandma "
"You not coming?" Martha ask
Stevia shook her head hugging her grandmother, Selena smile "she probably need to come play with Adam, no need to worry I'll take care of  her" Selena said Martha smile thank her for the ride, when she got inside she phone her daughter to tell her that her daughter had gone to Selena's home.
Stevia enter the house with Adam holding her hand but she let go ran into the living room over where Sophie sat with her friends having a quiet conversation while drinking liquor,
"Hey" one of the four  girls seated with Sophie greeted her reaching out a hand to her stevia got closer and she put her arms around her,
"What a sweet little girl" another said "who's baby is it?" She ask
"She must belong to someone in the neighborhood" Sophie said I don't understand why she's here, Selena " she called "what is she doing here?" Sophie questioned when Selena got inside
"Miss Sophie sir Steven haven't told you?" Selena ask
"What did Steven had to tell me?" She snap
"Since her mother work and no one is home I'll be taking care of miss pumpkin until someone come in the evening"
She and Steven never talk about that she wonder why he should make such decision behind her more so with the house keeper when she was the one he's married to, having another child around the house was going to be too much and this little girl was going to be here she was angry at Steven and what make it worst her friends were hovering around her paying her more attention than Sophie was getting,
"Adam!" Sophie shout at him "get this kid away from here take her now move it"
She squeal.
Adam sprang from the seat next to one of the girls take stevia hand and hurry to the play room,
"What Sophie?" Her friends ask
"What have Adam done now miss Sophie?" Selena ask coming from the kitchen,
"Keep them both away from me I don't want them in my way again Steven and I going to talk about this having another problem to add to what we already have" she hiss, Selena said nothing just to make sure that none of the children didn't get in Sophie way,
"As I was saying girls I discover a new make up" she look to get their response but they were just looking at her
"Girls, aren't you going to add anything didn't you all hear what I said?"
But one of them got up putting her self together, "Sophie they're just kids"
"Kids that are ever in my way, I can't stand them its why I don't want them in my way you think its just then is every kid I don't like them on a whole,and I'm not going to pretend like you guys do"
"I'm a mother too Sophie and if I can't love someone else child I'm not able to love mine"
"May be its all this attitude that cause you and Steven to be having so much problem you should never treat a child that way,
" you're not a mother Sophie it take a mother to understand , come girls let's go"
All four girls got up to leave walking out with Sophie staring after them, she was more angry now than before,
"Today Martha didn't have her granddaughter to see about and since she was home she made dinner all was ready by everyone got home,
" where's pumpkin? " Raymond ask seeing that she wasn't at table,
"She decided to go home with Selena to Steven place" Gabriela said
"Oh I see she has a new family now I guess we won't see her here all that much" Raymond said with a smile
Gabriela believe Rena had told her brother that she had told her Steven was Pumpkin's father, she look at Rena to Raymond who kept smiling at her, remembering Steven had told her that he might take her away and don't give her the chance to see her again she hope it didn't come to that for even the thoughts of having stevia spending more time with Steven than her makes her nervous, then she thinks about it she got the best of her little girl since birth believe its only fair he get enough time though she knew he wouldn't be home at this time he already told her his work time is in the evening this week, but Adam was home she must have wanted someone to play with.
"Well its kind of good that it is so at least today she get to play with someone" Martha said and Rena agree,
After dinner was over Rena walk with Gabriela to Steven house, where Selena had invite them in for stevia was still having dinner in the kitchen,
"Wow!" Rena whispered expressively, "this house is beautiful, yet so big he must have spend a fortune to built it"
"Yeah its a nice house" Gabriela said.
"No Gabriela this isn't just nice its marvelous"
"OK marvelous" Gabriela said with a smile,
"Mommy" stevia said running to Gabriela who scooped her up for a hug kissing her on her cheek,
"Adam" both Rena and Gabriela greet him when he came by Gabriela side "how are you?" Gabriela ask putting her arm around him,
"Adam smile letting her know he was doing OK,
Gabriela asked him about school and he assure her that school gets better everyday, both Rena and Gabriela smile, Gabriela rub his cheek " good that its so but in order to have it better you need to get enough rest isn't it past your bed time?" Adam look up at the wall on the clock that was now saying eighteen past eight, and nod,
"It is past his bed time Selena said "which is why I'm sending him off right now, go on boy go to the bath room I'll come soon,
"Bye Adam" they both said waving to him,
No one has seen Sophie standing on the upstairs as Gabriela and Rena watch Adam going off to his room on the other side of the stairs, 
To go up stairs there were two marble stair case one on the right of the huge living room the other to the left of the huge living room,
Adam room was to the right and the room Sophie share with Steven to the left, it wasn't until they were taking the last look around they saw her she look at them but no one said anything,
"I had taken it on myself to clean her up and gave her chocolate milk, it seems she enjoyed it"
" yes she loves chocolate a lot" Rena said
"Remind me of my boss of all the things he lives for chocolate, and Adam doesn't like it at all"
Sophie wonder why Selena wants to talk to them about Steven and Adam and comparing their likes and dislikes, she remember she heard the little girl called Steven daddy, she had ask but he ignore her. She was wondering if it could be so since their marriage he had two affair he didn't tell her about Adams mom until he came home with a baby less than a week old, he didn't hide it from her that while he was station at Cottage Hill he had an afair with someone, and Sophie couldn't help but to think of Gabriela, she didn't know why but it was a feelings she wasn't able to get out of her head and since they move here he's been distracted if not with Gabriela it was with her daughter she saw how much attention he show to her maybe more than he did to Adam but he spend more time with them than he did ever with her,
"Thank you Selena"
"Any time miss Gabriela, bye pumpkin" Selena said waving to the little girl who lean over to hug Selena,
"Such a sweet little girl" Selena said with a smiling face, she walk them to the door when she came back Sophie was in the living room,
"How dear you let that slut come in my house" Sophie said when Selena went bye her, "are you the one who ran this house you work for us Selena and if my husband won't allow you to stop meddling I'll fire you Selena" Sophie said, turning back to the stairs Selena was wondering if sir Steven had told miss Sophie that the girl was his or did miss Sophie figure it was so Selena love Adam so much, for his father was  a sweet and gentle man he was like the son she never has for eight years she look after Adam she felt so much apart of Steven and Adam's family, she wasn't doing anything to upset Sophie she wasn't trying to be fried, she climb the stairs to Adam's room and could tell he  heard it all he ran to her hugging her tightly.
The thoughts of Gabriela was the only thing on Steven mind he lay on his bunk a huge smile covered his face, he was so deep in thoughts that he didn't hear his coworker talking to him "fire!" He said Steven jump to his feet to see him standing in front of him smiling "where were you man you seems lost I've been talking to you for the longest of time"
"There's no fire?"
"No I'm afraid there's none, apart from the one in your mind"
Steven hiss sitting back down,
"You've been married for almost eleven years and I've known you for ten of those years Chief I never saw you with that look before, tell me who is she" he said with a smile one Steven return he would have told him but his cellphone rang and he left him alone with his call,
"Why haven't we discussed it that she was going to stay here after school?"
"What are you talking about Sophie?" Steven ask
Selena brought over the little girl the one that was lost by her mother, she's staying over here "
"What am I to say?" Sophie if Selena take her over I don't see why it should bother you so much"
"Is that all you have to say?"
What am I to say her mother work her aunt and uncle work and her grand parents she can't stay home a lone"
"Who cares if her mother doesn't want her why should we she even came between me and my friends I don't want her back in this house then that Gabriela won't get to come in this house"
Steven shook his head"Sophie I'm at work OK" he said then hand up before she respond.
"He did everything behind my back now I'm talking about it and he hang up on me" she grumble .
Sophie was waiting for Steven in the living room Tuesday morning, soon as he came into the door she a porch him,
"So good you're here we can have this conversation right now" Sophie said
"Can I get the privileged to take a shower?" Steven ask
"As soon as I'm done with that you talk to me what's there to talk about anyway if Selena decided to watch the little girl I see no fault in that"
"I'm your wife, decisions like these you and I need to make it together" Sophie said but Steven already close the door to the bathroom, turn the shower on and pretend  the water blocked him from hearing,
"I'm sure if i had done that you would be mad too, did you hear me?" Sophie ask when Steven came out the bathroom
"What was that you said?, for I do believe you're over reacting, she's a kid that  can't do you harm, she'll come and leave if she stay a day or two there's still nothing wrong with that, what more am I to say when we already talked about it"
"Why is it that she has to stay here what about the other neighbors?
" she's not any other neighbors daughter Sophie she's my daughter she has a right to be here"
Steven came to realize he said it and look strictly at Sophie she was staring at him as thou she's been completely shock, water fill her eyes unable to believed she was right wondering when he was going to turn up with another first Adam, now this little girl who's next,
"Is this all you brought to the marriage, one child after the other?" Sophie ask disappointedly as the first tear fall, "that is the girl you had a relationship with while you were station at Cottage Hill?"
"Yes Sophie but the reason I didn't tell you about the child I only learn this months ago but she's my daughter"
"You let that slut come into my house after you been carrying on with her don't she value herself didn't her parents teach her not to sleep with a married mam?" Sophie snapped,
"She didn't know I was married" Steven said Selena walk in to hear figuring he must told Sophie that little pumpkin was his daughter, "I didn't tell her I was married I didn't feel it was right to tell her I was in love with her for what you and I had was just a ring and a signature on a piece of paper, you and I didn't have nothing Gabriela comfort's me it took her a year to go to bed with me one week later she saw you and I together and make me confess I told her yes you and I were married, since then she didn't want anything to do with me I know she dropped out of collage but it was only after hearing the little girl calling her mom I learn the truth and Sophie I'm going to be a father to my daughter, whether you like it or not"
"I can't believe this Steven first you take Adam home"
"And you treat him like hell but let me warn you, you are not going to do to my daughter what you did to Adam and you're not going to mistreated Adam anymore Sophie Adam didn't get in the way you did and its up to you to stay, and it is no use arguing about it OK"
His phone ring and he answer turning his back to her to talk from his line of conversation Sophie could tell it was work, he mentioned above a fire truck, with a hose he lay on the bed as Sophie watch him stretch out before he got off the phone he was yarning she knew he would sleep now but she wasn't over with the conversation just yet they still has a marriage whether it was only ring, or their signature on a certificate, "Steven" Sophie called
"Yes Sophie" he answer rolling on his belly soon as the phone leave his hand the soft snoring coming from him tells Sophie how impossible it was to talk with him
"First it was his bastard son now a daughter from that slut Gabriela, he never made time for me what did I do to deserve all this if I had known that he would go around sleeping with everyone I would never get married to him" Sophie grumble and hiss slamming the door after she walk out hoping to disturbed Steven sleep
Selena was at the bottom of the stairs looking up at Steven and Sophie bedroom when Sophie came out she turn to walk away heading to the kitchen only to find out Sophie was heading down that direction too,
After a few hours sleep and another cold shower Steven got dress he almost didn't remember the conversation he had with Sophie earlier but soon as he find her in the dress room and saw the sour look she gave him it came back in a flash he can't believe he told Sophie about Gabriela daughter being his little girl feeling better now that its in the open,
"Sophie", Steven said walking to where she sat "I'm leaving for work" he said
"One of these fine days I'm just going to leave you pack my belongings and left find myself a nice house far away from you and your dramatic life I'm sick of it I don't know when you'll bring home some sort again maybe next time its a woman, or maybe two"
"If today could be the day you found that house far away from me and move out it would make both of  us happy" Steven said make Sophie look at him in disbelief "for since there's nothing what the use of holding on just tell me where you want it and I'll probably just buy it for you and bid you goodbye, thought you have use up almost the whole of the money in your bank account, did I mentioned that it was all you have to get this might never came up before but we did sign a prenuptial agreement, this means Sophie there's not a lot for you to get" Sophie mouth flew open on his words " you should go easy on the shopping this huge dressing room and I don't have space for my things, not even a store take stocks like you shop" he told her walking out the room leaving her
"I hate you Steven Scott I hate you" she scream  on the top of her lungs when Steven close the door and she could hear the sound of his boots on the stairs going down, soon the front door and then his car leaving the drive way, she fuse to herself before thosting the bottle of nail Polish across the room watch it smash in to million of pieces and its contents spill all over the toil floor Stepping over it and down to the kitchen she was just about finish making herself a cup of tea had a sandwich when Selena came with the two children, she didn't want to be amongst them so she departed leaving the kitchen soon as they came in Where she stay until they came to get the little girl and Adam was send off to bed,
Because Steven was on the night shift when ever he got home in the morning the children were already gone to school in the evening he left home before they came home, Saturday morning he was coming from work he stop by to see stevia she was out playing with the other kids with Rena watching them when his car stop stevia ran towards it he open the door and she climb in next to him, "later" she said waving to Rena and the other children,
"I'm taking her for some time" he told Rena, since she was his daughter she mod the OK, he lean over to close the door Rena saw that he make sure all her body parts were inside the vehicle before it close and he drove off
Gabriela came out and quickly she realize her daughter was missing for she wasn't with the other children, she knew she heard his car thought she didn't have to ask she did anyway,
"Was that Steven?"  Gabriela ask
"Yes he took his daughter if you're looking for her, he said its for some time"
"Who gave him the right?" Gabriela ask
"He's her father Gabriela whether you like it or not, and he's going to want to have his time with her"
"He's doing all this to get to me I know this very well" she grumble and hiss,
Rena couldn't help but to smile when she saw her fusing
"What now?" Raymond ask when he saw his sister's face,
"Nothing" Gabriela answer
"Where's Martha and I only granddaughter?" Kenneth ask on coming out to see that stevia wasn't with the other  children, it was then Raymond realize she was gone so he figure Steven took her and that's why his sister face is so sour.
"She's off with Steven" Rena told him, Raymond look at Gabriela fusing face and smile pinch her cheek "don't worry sis he'll take care of her"
"I know yes he'll care of her but it doesn't mean he should take her from here with out saying"
"He told Rena" Raymond said
"He did " Rena said when Gabriela look at her "he said he's taking her for a little while and since he already have her you should come with me and let's go shopping,  I'm sure he'll bring her back when he's ready " Rena told Gabriela, getting up from where she sit on the step, come on boys we're going shopping,
All three boys jump up dashing inside to be ready
"Coming too honey?" Rena ask Raymond who agrees
"Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Simmons" Steven said when he came through the gate,
"Hello" they both answer
"Gabriela here?" He ask
"No dear she went out with everyone else" Martha told him,
"I want to bring pumpkin with  me can you please put some clothes on her, she already have a bath, if you don't mind"
"No, no, no I don't minded at all, Kenneth said getting up, " come my dear, lets go dress up" he took the little girl by her hand leading her inside, Steven sat next to Martha with Adam on his knees talking while he wait for his daughter to come out with her grandfather
After a few minutes they came with stevia all dressed up,
"Look!" She said excitingly, "granddaughter make me look pretty" she exclaimed
"Like a princess" Steven said "come over here let me have a closer look at you"
Stevia giggle after running over to Steven and he hug her kissing her cheek.
"Thank you" he said nodded to them both as he and both children bid them goodbye,
"Gabriela" Valerie called when she saw her in the food store, she was with her husband and family as they all decided to shop together, on hearing Gabriela they all turn to look her way to she who she was,
She greet them when she Raymond Rena and the children reach up to them,
"I never saw you shopping here before first time?" Valerie ask
"I shop here often today is actually my sister week to shop and since I was home doing nothing she invite me to come along"
"Oh OK" Valerie said saying hello to Raymond, Rena and the children, "so where his your daughter? I don't see her"
"She wasn't home" Gabriela said
"OK" Valerie said turning to introduce everyone, "this is my husband to be drew, his parents, his sister joy, her husband Dave, our kids and joy kids each with a pair a girl and a boy,
" Hi " they greet her
"My brother Raymond his wife Rena and their boys" Gabriela said with a smile, but when she looked over Valerie shoulder her smile fade and they all look to see Steven with Adam and the little girl on a trolley it seems he was just coming in for apart from stevia nothing else was inside when he push it over,
"Rena, Raymond" he greet,
"Hey Steven" they respond,
"Gabriela, hi" he said
"Don't come Gabriela me" she snapped "what make you think you have the right to come and take my daughter anytime you please with out my permission?"
"Why would I need your permission gabby she's my daughter isn't she?"
"Raymond looked at Rena and she saw how surprise he was,
"Don't gabby me you said you won't say that she's your daughter until you get her blood sample, and you haven't done that so don't feed me that crap"
"I just kept her by my home for a while I didn't hide her for three years what are you fussing for"
"Go a head and tell me that I'm careless and immature and unfit to be a mother and you are going to take me to Court, and then when you have her I won't see her tell me, but until you do that I'm her mother stop taking her without I know"
"Why should I tell you again how careless and unfit you are when you already know that she's safe with me for I would never lost her like you did"
"What? Lost her its your fault why she left in the first place"
"My fault, how did it come to be my fault?" Steven ask
They turn to look at him then back to Gabriela when she speak again
"If you haven't move so close to her then she wouldn't have a reason to want to leave home" Gabriela said she was angry with tears filling up at the back of her eyes ready to fall any time,.
"Well she find a reason to leave and that too because you were careless not to watch her, she was on her own for almost a whole day thank God I was in your neighborhood or else you would still be looking for her" Steven smile
Make Gabriela more angry, as if ready to hit him, she knew if she had open her mouth to say anything tears she didn't want would fall, so she walk away to calm herself after one hard look at Steven who smile
"Really bro you said all that to her?" Joy ask
"I didn't mean anything I have to say something to settle her"
"Well I know one thing the women in your life are tempered" Drew said
Steven smile taking stevia from the trolley setting her to the ground, after Gabriela calm down she came back to where they were all standing both Adam and stevia walk to her she picked up her daughter greet Adam with a smile resting her palm on his cheek,.
"Are we going to go or what?" She ask
"Look who has calm down" Steven said reaching out to brush Gabriela loose hair from her face but she slapped his hand away,.
"Why you so worried gabby we're just here to shop I promise to bring her home later if that's OK with you, she look at Steven then at stevia in her arm setting her back to her feet,
" Gabriela Simmons! " a voice said from behind Steven she recognize the voice someone from collage but wasn't expecting to hear that voice in this neighborhood, but it was her when she came around Steven she was with five others one that was Sophie Steven wife, Anita Moore hug Gabriela she was excited to see her "how have you been Gabriela its been years you kook well"
"What are you doing here?" Gabriela ask
"Please let me, me ask all the questions, how his your daughter?" Gabriela point to stevia Anita mouth open wide stooping to meet the little girl she's this pretty how comes you didn't put her on social media?" She smile at Gabriela,
"Hey stevy" Anita said
"What?" Gabriela said "her names pumpkin"
"Come on g a girl who normally fall in love for the first time  want to hold on to some of the memories,  I know you had to name her something close to stev"
"Shhhh shush" Gabriela said pulling her away and everyone look at each other they wonder what they had talked about for when she came back the conversation changes, she was only in town for a day or two today was her first day she met with one of the girls that was friend with Sophie a while back she was the one that invite her down today she met Sophie for the first time unable to believe she was Steven wife its a wonder he was out seeking comfort she didn't know Sophie for over an hour good but already she can tell the type of person she is, she and the girls have it out twice since they meet up, but how could she have not recognized Steven maybe because she didn't take knowtist for now that she really looked at him nothing about him had change, his daughter has his eyes the only thing apart from his name but she was pretty like Gabriela,
Gabriela introduce her collage friend to her sister in-law and her brother,
"Gabriela was studying to be a nurse" Anita said to the other girls, when she introduce them " it was how we met,  "Gabriela was top student, and was  desperate to achieve her goal, we taught her to live a little for her books were the only fun she has but things change for now she has stev pumpkin" she said smiling,  Gabriela look at her
"What about your boyfriend?" Joy ask
"Boyfriend I hate men I want to have nothing to do with men they are at  the top of my not to do list"
Drew smile looking at Steven who was smirking at Gabriela,
She and Anita gave each other phone numbers with plan to meet up tomorrow for early Monday she'll have to go back to Cottage Hill,but from today on she knew they were going to keep in touch and see each other more she left with Sophie and the others
"You didn't talk with your wife?" Joy ask 
"Did she say something to me ?" Steven ask
"Can't even control your own wife" Gabriela grumble, make Drew laugh out aloud,
"Gabriela" Steven called as she was walking away
"Don't you have any fire to put out?" Gabriela ask
"Yeah your fire though its so hard to I haven't find another fire so dam hard to put out" Steven said Rena couldn't do with out to laugh,
They went their separate ways a few times they ran in to each other next time she saw Steven Valerie and the others were gone, when they were cashing to leave Steven was just getting through half his shopping, they leave the store with stevia waving,
"Steven family is nice" Rena said
"I don't know bull about him and his family all I know he's bent on driving me crazy" it was the truth he was driving her crazy making her mad at him, making her mad for him, on his way home he stop by leaving Gabriela with the bag for stevia " I need change of clothes for pumpkin" Gabriela believe he was demanding a change of cloth for her but gave it anyway, after their argument today she wasn't looking for a nothing "thank you aren't you going to say  kiss my daughter she is spending the nigh_ at my place is there anything I should know to be able to meet her needs"
"She have milk before bed any milk she never sleeps alone"
"OK " he said walking out behind him both children sat in the front seat waving as Gabriela came out,
"Should I come back and see you maybe you have some needs to full fill,  do you sleep alone, or could you use some company?"
The offer sound tempting but she will never agree, she hiss at him but he smile,
"I'll take it as a yes",he walk away make her wish he would,
Steven was surprise to see Sophie home she came down when they come through the front door and stevia ran to her
" get her away from me" Sophie sad before she got to touch her,
"Is she going to bite you?" Steven ask "you're acting as if she's lassie ready to rip you apart"
"Lassie or no lassie I won't try to find out, what is she doing here?" Sophie ask demanding to know,
"She's spending the night?"
"Where in this house but why you had her today why does she have to spend the night with you?"
"Not with me with Selena and Adam for I'm going out"
"You're going out but I was hoping you wouldn't have anywhere to go the Jones invite us for dinner I accept for I thought you would go"
They had dinner with the Jones before for them his wife tried her best to make a good impression for they were the number one couple they were his friends but Sophie try to win them over she was still working hard he wasn't into nothing more than to go see Gabriela but decided to go ahead,
"At seven Gabriela was on the porch when his car drove by it seem to be his wife with him as if they were going out feeling disappointed that he wouldn't come to her.
After every one was gone to bed Gabriela went to her room she decided around eleven o clock to take a shower she step in the shower and turn the water on closing her eyes allowing the cold water to beat on her face it ran down her breast and belly between  her thighs the feel of it made her think on Steven the sweet feeling make her touch her self closing her eyes to the feeling,
Steven was glad he got back in time it was eleven fifteen when he knock on the Simmons front door and Raymond let him in, he got to Gabriela room to hear the shower running, closing the door he undress himself and decided to join her in the shower he step in behind her without been knowtist until his naked body touch her she was about to face him but he came closer bracing his hardness on her butt cheeks cuffing her breast as his lips carries her shoulders and down her back as he entered into her from behind, "missed me?" He ask whispering in her ear sucking on it as the water beats down on them he was moving around inside of her bringing such sweet on sweet ness, all Gabriela wanted to do was scream at him not to stop wishing to have him deeper, "sorry I took so long but something came up" Steven said after pulling himself away turning Gabriela to face him,
"You're here now right " she said kissing him as he lift her about his hips entering her again.
"What was that today about you hating all men and what they are at the top of your not to do list?" Steven tease, as he propped up on his arm looking at Gabriela laying close to him with her leg wrapped around his hip and her arm caresses him as she gaze up in his eyes, "would you have had so much fun a while ago without a man?" Gabriela smile covering his mouth for him not to speak,
"You do need more you can feel free to ask" Steven bother but Gabriela didn't mind having him after his last of three condoms they took a shower lay back in bed she was sure to catch back that position where she lay with her leg wrapped around his hip this time her arm around his upper body as their wet skin rub on each other.
He was still next to her when she stretch her body in the morning he lay watching her sleep she blink  her eyes twice before they fully open to see him smiling down on her
"I had no idea you were so beautiful in the morning" he said coming down to kiss her
"Baby I must go"
"You will work  this morning I know" Gabriela said
"You keeping watch on me?" Steven ask but Gabriela didn't answer
"Are you going to bring my daughter, on your way?"
"Steven nod kissing her again then leave,
Gabriela was out by the gate sweeping when Steven  car stop she thought it was to let our stevia but he only rolled the window down to look out at her with a smile then drove off  Gabriela wonder what he was up to if he suddenly gets crazy, she was just about finished sweeping and went inside when the  phone ring soon as she answered Steven came on the line,
" where's my daughter Steven? "
Gabriela ask
"Where I left her,  where else could she be?"
You said you was going to bring her  down what's your problem? "
"You are" Steven said " but why Gabriela each time we have to fight about something  you have her to yourself for almost four years now I have her for one night and you're complaining  why can't you realized her brother is there for her to spend time with, and after last night I think we can at least get a long better than we are now, by the way mother's day is Sunday coming mother and sister want her on that day"
"But I am her mother" Gabriela said and Steven knowtist she wasn't sounding angry,
"I know that is why you get her in the day then in the afternoon I'll take her to mom she can go to school from there"
Gabriela though what decision to make with out asking but she wasn't going to argue he said later and both hang up.
Sunday evening Adam and Selena walk stevia home and stay a while before going home, Steven didn't stop on his way home but came on Monday to drop stevia at school
"Need aride?" He ask Gabriela who refused "no thank you I'll just walk"
Steven wonder why she was angry to day the last they talk yesterday their conversation it ended well ,
"OK then miss Simmons have a nice day" Steven said
"Thank you" she snapped
"Just admit it even though I'm married  you're still crazy about me and the only time you're not mad at me is when we're alone you love having me to yourself" he said waving  teasingly at her Rena had to hide her smile
"You're in love with him, and you prove it more each day" Rena said maybe if you don't over react and try to avoid the things he said he won't enjoyed teasing you so much"
Gabriela frun giving Rena  the opportunity to laugh.
For the rest of the week Steven drop the children at school but like always Gabriela refused to take his offer when he offer to drop her at work,
Saturday Raymond went out to do some work the children stay home with Martha and Kenneth while Gabriela and Rena do the shopping, it was mother's day tomorrow and Rena parents were coming for dinner so they had done extra shopping,
Gabriela couldn't help but to knowtist she didn't see Steven shopping today knowing its not his  work day wondering where he could be,
"Gabriela" some one said when Gabriela turn she saw Adam waving at her disappointed he wasn't with Steven but with Selena,
"This is a coincidence" Rena said "you're out shopping today what Steven home taking rest?"
"Actually Steven took his wife to her mother for the weekend" Selena said
Gabriela was glad Rena was so nosey for she get to know that he wasn't home now and he might not come back for the night, she didn't think he  would be working the night she never saw him going to work on a Saturday, unless they must be on work change, but he did say he would take stevia to his parents tomorrow he probably  had change his mind, and was just staying with his wife for the weekend, wondering how they both went off leaving Adam, she was missing him already so much that she dreamt of him,
Gabriela turn her head when someone take stevia off the seat next to her sat down with her on their lap she was surprise to see Steven in church remembering Selena did say he took his wife to her mother for the weekend  he was the last person she was looking to see today wondering if he wasn't working today, but was glad he's here he look across her to greet Raymond and Rena, she saw how widely she grin at him, both her parents look around and smile at him Gabriela knew it was because Steven was close to stevia and came around so often her parents became fund of him wondering if and when they learn that he was Pumpkin's father how they were going to react to him,
"You came to church today wow! That's great its good you visit" Rena said
"Yeah happy mother's day  to you I hope you have been enjoying it so far"
"Yes thank you" Rena said smiling as he lean in to kiss her cheek.
"Mrs Simmons,  mother happy mother's day mam" he smile kissing both her cheeks
Martha smile with a nod,
Steven shook hand with Kenneth and Raymond before picking up stevia kissing her making sounds as he did
Raymond look at them as they play happily with each other, like a true father and daughter remembering he heard the argument they had last week at the store wondering if he really is Pumpkin's father to the attention he gave it must be believing  Rena must have not known for she haven't said anything but why would a nice guy like Steven leave a child father less more so a nice little girl like pumpkin,
"We should go mom and dad might be there soon" Rena said 
"We should leave  now my wife is right in-laws will come they should find someone home once they did"
"I'm also in a hurry" Steven said "pumpkin and I have to leave right gabby? Why don't you go ahead I'm offering Gabriela a ride"
"But why did I ask for a ride if they can't carry me then I'll walk, Rena laugh and Gabriela made a funny face,she climb next to Stevia on the front seat then put her on her lap she climb over soon as Steven got in and invite her to sit with him he wait for Raymond to went ahead  of them he barely left the church when stevia fall a sleep on his chest when he pulls over Gabriela believe it was to move her but he lean over and kiss her ,
" happy mother's day Gabriela" he told her,
"So I'm a mother now you believe?" She ask and they both smile as Steven ignore her and started driving again,
Steven turn the car at her gate Gabriela got out as he had told her since last week that his mother needs stevia Gabriela had pack her bag she didn't really want to be with out her pumpkin but let her go without a fight Steven drove away leaving her a bit disappointed,
Today dinner was even more delicious for Rena and Gabriela together prepare a tasty treats for everyone, Raymond had bought a bottle of champagne for the occasion and everyone enjoyed later when Rena parents leave Raymond took Rena to see a film for mother's day, Gabriela put the boys to bed make sure they all fall asleep before leaving their room. both Martha and Kenneth went to their room leaving Gabriela alone by herself with nothing to do, so she decided to lay in her room, she lay propped up on her elbows looking on the book that from stevia bed time stories collection, she didn't hear her door open and close but a hand grip her bottom squeezing on it cause her to jump and turn herself around, to see Steven smiling at her , she shook her head making sure it wasn't her imagination,
"What? Don't pretend you're not happy to see me Gabriela" he said sitting on the bed next to her,
"I was just going to bed" Gabriela said shaking from emotions,
"You're use to going to bed so much sexier than this" he spot her bottom rubbing over her tight fitting jeans that she wore with spaghetti strap blouse rubbing from there to her breasts lift her blouse to suck on her breast she let out a hash breath holding on to his head, for a while it was all he did but it was enough to made her wet,
He got up to take his jacket off   giving Gabriela space that she got up from the bed, before removing his jacket he  take something out first, "I for got I bring these for you its a mother's day gift" rolling out a string of condoms what seems like a dozen "how many of these can you use tonight?" He ask following Gabriela over to her dresser where she removed her earrings,
"Gabriela look up at him with a smile, laughing aloud when he pulled out another roll, " and this too" taking out a bottle of red Italian wine and a red rose "happy mother's day" he whispered close to her lips "

"Go a head take it" Steven told her she reach for his Zipper loosing it along with the button to pull his pants down sliding her hand inside his boxers to curl her fingers around his hardness that vibrate in her palm, "take it off too" he told her she did and he hand her a condom for her to put it on they had taught her in collage how to put on a condom she haven't forgotten how it was done but this was her first time using it on a real live penis like they say pinch leave an inch and rolled it was fully on and she let herself slide on him sitting firmly on him her bottom rest against his skin only to hear him let out a hard moan tightly closing his eyes,
"So you know Steven " Gabriela whispered Steven open his eyes to look at her she was only inches away,
"I have no regrets having your daughter"
"You are telling me she's my daughter finally, Steven teased Gabriela smile " you know something else Steven?"
"What's that?" Steven ask
"I never stop loving you"
He smile from his eyes
"You were my first love"

"When I'm you do to me what ever you want to do to me" she giggle "oh yeah what ever you want"
" I might just do that" Steven smile at her,
"For a man Steven you sure are pretty" she rub his face"

"Yes give me a second" he got up go to the bathroom he came back roll on a fresh new condom be fore entering her she moans sweetly wrapped both arms and legs around Steven naked body whispering her love and affection for him as he brought her to another climax he didn't do it four times like she said but did so twice laying next to her as she ran her fingers from his man wood to the small amount of hair around his face
"I'm in a new world" Gabriela said
"So am I" whispered Steven kissing her " you're beautiful gabby " he was sure she didn't understand like he was sure of her drunken state their naked body entwined together rubbing at each other
"Why do we fight Steven when making out like this is far much better I like it when you are inside of me, can't you  make love to me once more?" She ask rolling on her back spreading her thighs apart Steven couldn't help himself  having her again,

"No! Not yet a little more please, and what about tomorrow won't we do it then?" Steven laugh he went and took a shower coming to lay back beside her for a hour he just lay there looking at her watching her she have not close her eyes one bit the only movement was that of her fingers rubbing gentle on his cheek her breathing slowly, at six in the morning he got up leaving her in his boxers and shirt the jewelry box that he got her to pick for him some weeks now  and some money he left on the dresser  kissing her  goodbye
He step through the door of her bed room his jacket on his shoulder and shoes in his hand as he avoid making any sounds Mr Simmons was the one who let him in  last night and he didn't want him to know he spend the night but as he close the door he turned into Rena
"Hey" Steven said Rena looked at the clock on the wall at him then to the door of Gabriela room then to Steven again, he didn't get a response but he walk a way
"Rena" he called "please give your sister a cup of tea will you please" he said closing the door behind him,
Rena make a cup of ginger tea and take it to Gabriela's room
"Gabriela" she called pushing the door she was lay there with her eyes open but didn't respond "Gabriela" Rena said once more she turn her head lifting it a bit,
"I got tea for you, ginger tea"
Gabriela forced herself to a sitting position reaching out to get the tea,
"You look like hell" Rena remarks
"But I don't feel like hell"
"Well I dough you would Steven had spend the night right?"
Gabriela looked at Rena but didn't answer "I've to make breakfast for  pumpkin and get her ready for school, she need her cereal now" she got up but stumble falling back on the bed nearly spilling the tea
"Have you forgotten she's not home that she stay the night over at her family house?" Rena ask
"Oh man!" Gabriela said handing the cup to Rena "thank you" she told her climbing back under the covers wrapping herself from head to toe " oh man" Rena heard her mumbled again, she heard her take deep breaths when she didn't hear anything she believe she had dozed off and got up to go prepare the children,
"It seems Gabriela won't go to work today" Rena said
"What happened is she feeling sick?" Raymond ask
"nothing she can't handle" Rena said
Kenneth remember seeing Steven came bye last night but didn't share that with anyone, apart from getting up to go check on his daughter he said nothing, Martha entered into the room behind her husband and couldn't help but to knowtist the bottle of wine on her dresser and the condom wrapper at her bed side, sex was evident in the room making it cluster,  they look at each other then at their daughter Martha walk to her bed moving the sheet from her head
"Honey are you alright?" She ask
"Yes mom " she answered muffled
"Are you sure honey?" Kenneth ask
"Yes dad I'm just tired I'll be fine after sleep"
"So we'll see you later" he said
"Bye dear" Martha said they both leave  after she wave them off,
Raymond believe Gabriela was a sleep when he got to the room so he didn't bother her apart from looking around the bottle of expensive wine sitting on the dresser  with a gift wrapped box and some money he didn't touch, but take the condom wrapper off the ground putting it on the bedside table, kiss her then left, Rena came back to tell her she was leaving,
"Are you going to be alright, should I drop the kids and come home?"
Rena I'm fine I'm a little over dose that's all a bit too much wine, and too, too much sex than I'm use to Steven had me up all night just having sex it was fun trust me sis I gave the guy a thumbs up and I thought the first time with him was great he love me so much and I still want more of him" she said folding her arms between her legs,
Rena knew if Gabriela wasn't drinking to a stage where she got drunk all this she would never say so openly laughing to herself.
"Was Steven your first boyfriend?" She ask
"My only boyfriend, shame on me for wanting a man who's married to be my boy friend"
"I guess Steven bring out the worst in you but still has it in him to bring out the best"  Rena wasn't sure if Gabriela heard a word but she kiss her
" see you later I love you" Gabriela was smiling and could tell it was from memories she left closing the front door behind her taking the children off to school and going off herself,
The morning to mid afternoon Gabriela spend it sleeping when Steven let himself in she was still asleep
"Gabby" he whispered close to her ears but she didn't move "Gabriela" it sounded a lot louder but it still didn't move her, he shifted her arm from one way to another, but Gabriela didn't shake Steven check her pluses and her breathing like he was taught to see seems to be breathing fine, leaning over her he push his hand in to the boxers she ware to fondle her soft flesh ad his finger play on her skin she extend and open her legs moaning sweetly as her eyes flew open, he smile down at her,
"Gabriela you haven't taken a shower yet, why do you like the smell of sex on you?" He ask pulling his hand out the boxers taking it to her face" but she push it away then got up to take a quick shower wrapped her towel around her and came back to sit next to Steven on her bed,
"What time is it?" She ask
"One thirty"
"How comes I didn't go to work and by the way how did you get inside?".
" its a fireman thing"
"You break my lock?"
"Your lock is fine don't worry about that, tell me about you are you OK?"
"I'm alright" Gabriela said covering her face making her words muffled,
"I have work is there anything  you want me doing for you before I go? And yes Selena will bring your daughter to you by now you must need her"
"So now you're considering me?"
"Why not?" he ask kissing her
"Are you going to make love to me, before you go to work?"
"After all you did?" Steven ask with a grin,
Gabriela look at him from the corner of her eyes
"I promise it won't take long before it is done I already took last nigh to spend mother's day with you it was to show you that I appreciate you being the mother of my child, please" he begged "promise that you won't let me be late today" he pinch her cheek a simple and small smile curved Gabriela lips she nod "OK I promise, just like that promise you made to me that I won't have to wait long to have you make love to me"
"Just like I promise chocolate cake"
"Chocolate?" Gabriela ask
"Just like I promise you cheese cake" Steven whispered kissing her before she has to force herself to watch him leave.
