Blaire's POV
“ You don’t have to feel bad Blaire. Whatever’s happening right now isn’t your fault .What I don’t get is why his family haven’t made any move to stop the media .I mean they’re family right ? “
“Exactly, It’s as if they don’t care that he’s being ridiculed. Even though they don’t really have a close relationship, they’re still family “ I said . Cairo’s mom died when he was in high school and his father remarried a year later. Even though during that time, I wasn’t friends with him ,I could still tell that his mom’s death affected him greatly . Cairo wasn’t really the social type. He had a small group of friends and was friendly but his mother’s death really changed him. He became withdrawn and cold .
His father's new wife Samantha, already had a son who was a year older than Cairo. It was already a known fact that Cairo didn’t share any close relationship with his stepmother and brother. Not that they hated each other because they didn’t .They respected and helped each other out .Cairo established a jewellery business for Samantha and helped Jared ,his stepbrother, to set up his own business but that was where it ended. There wasn’t any emotional attachment or sentiments . Nobody knew where Cairo’s dad was .He was reported dead but nobody knew where his body was . It was said that he was recovering from an illness in his vacation home on a beach in Greece when tragedy struck. His housekeeper was found lying in a pool of his blood and Matthew Rodriguez was no where to be found .After a fruitless searches, he was declared dead.
“ Even his so called girlfriend doesn’t look bothered. Makes me wonder if she truly loves him ,” I sighed. Ira wasn’t a fan of Serena. She felt she didn’t deserve Cairo. “ I just hope that whatever this phase is will pass .Cairo is a strong person. “
I nodded my head in affirmation. I didn’t want to tell Ira that I felt that something was wrong somewhere ,that maybe someone had done something to Cairo. I didn’t want her to think I was weird or delusional.
“Yeah . So what do I have to do today ? “ Ira poured herself a mug of coffee and scooped some scrambled eggs in a plate. She sat down at the marble counter and started to eat . The kitchen looked like every chef’s dream .With cream cabinets and cupboards , stainless steels and every kitchen appliance designed to make life easy. It was a really spacious and beautiful kitchen . Sometimes , Ira preferred to do the cooking herself .Other times , she had a cook who came in to cook .
“I know you’ve had your breakfast but I’ll still tell you anyway “ I let out a laugh .” You can have some breakfast ,then the living room and the kids room need cleaning . Finally I think there’s some laundry “.
“ Thanks for the offer Ira .I’ll just get started “.
With that I walked to the closet that contained all the cleaning supplies .It was located at the right outside the kitchen. I grabbed all the things I’d needed and headed to the first area ;the living room.
The living room just like ever other room in the suite was tastefully decorated and furnished.
There were black sofas, soft honey brown walls ,a huge flat screen Tv that was currently showing cartons for the twins and a beautiful chandelier . There were large glass windows that showed the sky above and the city below . The windows were only half of the wall since Ira didn’t consider full windows safe for her kids.
The twins were so into the show that they didn’t notice me come in . Leaving them to it, I got busy . I swept the floors ,mopped and cleaned all the little trinkets around. I picked up the leftover toys and went on to dust the couch. The twins were already asleep .They looked so adorable snuggled up against each other. I decided to leave that for later and headed to their room with the toys and supplies.
I pushed the door open and stepped inside .
This room looked like every child’s dream . The room was divided into two .Since the twins were still too young ,Ira wanted them to share a room . One side which was painted yellow, had a shelf with dolls of all sizes, teddy bears, tubs of edible play dough ,children’s books and a whole lost of other stuff . There was a bed which was covered with a flower patterned blanket . There was also a yellow painted cupboard which contained all her cute baby clothes.
Jamie’s side was painted a cool cyan colour and was arranged the same as Lynn’s side except instead of Barbie dolls and teddy bears he had stuffed dogs, dragons and toy cars
His bed was covered in a superman blanket and his cupboard was also cyan .
Toys and a few clothes were scattered around and the play area was messy. Yes, they had a play area in their room .I put the toys in their respective places , picked up the clothes ,cleaned they windows and went on to do their laundry .I was done in half an hour .There wasn’t much to do in their room .
After I finished the laundry and put it away , I helped Ira prepare lunch and woke the twins.
I played with them after they had their lunch and played with them for about an hour before I took my leave .
I went back to my workplace to check in and change my clothes. It was still early when I got to apartment .After changing into comfortable clothes ,I grabbed a snack and settled in the living room to watch a movie . I fell asleep in the couch after the final credits rolled in.
