Yes, Daddies

I think this is what the rich call ‘a sumptuous meal’.

Yeah, I know that my family is rich and all but they have never made me feel like I belong and since my stepmom and her daughter moved in with us, I was never allowed to sit at the table with them.

Anyway, I look at the spread on the big table and then look at the twins one after the other.

“What?" Caspian asks.

“Is there any other person joining us?" I ask because this doesn't seem like a meal for just three people.

“No. It's just us," he answers and I am baffled.

“Then… why? Isn't this like… a lot?" I say as I gesture at the grandeur that they are calling food.

“No. You are healing and you need the nutrition," Zavian says as he pulls a chair for me and Caspian pushes me on it and then helps spread a napkin on my lap.

That's when I harden my resolve to leave them as soon as I can because it's clear that we don't belong in the same world. Like who still used a napkin at home?

“Eat this and this and this," Zavian points at several dishes on the table and they are all too healthy and I wonder what they think of me.

“I won't eat those. What do you think of me, dying?" I protest and go for a Mac and cheese and Caspian holds my hand.

“You will have time to eat all of that in the future. For now, you need more vitamins and minerals and proteins to build your muscles. So, be good and eat what we give you,” he speaks in such a small and sweet voice that for a moment, he doesn't look like the man who bullied me all through high school but like a caring man.

I don't argue as I shake my head and take all they are giving me: a small piece of steak, the sweetest I have ever tasted, baby corn, beans on coconut milk, baby spinach, and such.

After the meal, we go back to the room and I am both anticipatory and fearful. I am anticipating what they will do to me and I am fearful of what it might be. I am confused, I know.

But what I know is that I have been a virgin for more than twenty years and where did that get me? Even Mateo didn't appreciate it and I didn't see the need of saving myself for any man again seeing that they don't appreciate it.

You save your virginity but the man is sleeping around and even calls you boring. So, I am going to have all the s*x I want without strings attached because ever since Sophia took Mateo, or was it Mateo who left me for Sophia? Whatever. Anyway, my point is, I decided to live for myself. And if I am going to give myself to any man, why not these two? First, they are a walking advertisement for whatever brand of clothes they are wearing. They are gorgeous and they know it. Don't even talk about their well sculpted bodies and they stand at more than 185”. If I am not wrong, they must be around 188” or 189".

Their jaws? These ones were sculptured to perfection. I just want to indulge and have myself writhing under them and if not both, even one of them would do.

“What's on your mind, Little Mouse?" Caspian asks as he taps my forehead and that's when I realize that we are already in the bedroom.

“Nothing. Just…” I can't tell them that I am thinking of having s*x with them and so, I make up a quick lie. "I am thinking of what I will do after all this. I can't go back to my father's house and… I don't even know if my boss will agree into taking me back after I have been absent for all that long," I say and realise that it's not even a lie.

"Don't worry about it. Everything will be okay. Also, if you want, we can help you with your dad's issue,” Caspian says and I catch a malicious look in his eyes and then it vanishes and I think that I might have imagined it.

"That… it's okay. You guys don't have to. He doesn't like me and I know it,” I say and it's the truth but I can't hide the pain that makes me almost cry but I mask it with a chuckle.

"Just know that we got you and we won't allow anyone to hurt you. All you have to do is say the word,” Zavian says as he sits beside me on the bed.

"Thanks,” I say coz that's all that can come out.

Since my Mama died, they are the first ones to tell me that they care and it's… haa! It's making me emotional.

I don't know why they are doing this to me seeing that I intend to leave them because I already know that there is no future with them.

My marriage with Mateo was a business transaction and I guess at the end of it all, my dad thought that Sophia was the best fit to get married into a rich family and I didn't deserve it and I think he's right.

That's why I know that I don't deserve any of the Hale brothers and I have to leave before my heart commits.

With the way they are treating me, I might fall in love and if another man were to heartbreak me the way Mateo did, I might die. And so, for my sanity and peace of mind, it's good not to commit.

“Are we that boring?" Caspian asks and I look at him puzzled.

“You were lost in thought again," he says and I sigh.

“Maybe we should keep her mind occupied," Zavian says and he kneels before me and as I wonder what he's doing, he lifts my legs on the bed and Caspian starts kissing me.
