Chapter 66
ZAVIER (Zero)
Lani and I fell into some kind of routine. We wake up in the morning and one of us makes breakfast, mostly it's me because the smell sometimes makes her uncomfortable, and sometimes she even skip breakfast but makes up for it by eating a big lunch.
After breakfast is to prepare for work together and get on to work. Sometimes when Romeo and Romeria comes around and insists they'll follow us, either Lani or I takes them to school. Sometimes, it's the both of us.
Those twins stuck like glue to us, and the more I think about it, I think it has something to do with the fact that we're gonna have twins too. Lani and I love the company.
"They're helping us practice parenting." Lani had grinned at me one day.
Then, after work, I'll go straight to Lani's big store and pick up my wife, and drive us home. I'd long ago concluded that once Lani gives birth, I'm teaching her how to drive and getting her a car too, so that she can go anywhere and everywhere without stress or waiting on me, especially when I have to work late.
At home after work, we bath and eat dinner. I'll massage her back if it's hurting or massage and soak her legs if they're slightly swollen.
As days goes by she grows more tired and stressed easily but she still tries to do every fvcking thing alone. Of course, I adamantly disagree to that and force her to go and get some rest, and allow the twins and I do stuffs that needs to be done.
Late at night, is for both of us. Even when she gets so tired, I tell myself sternly that I won't touch her and allow her sleep through the night, I still find myself reaching for her in the dark of the night.
And she always comes willingly and trustingly. All the damn time. And damn if it doesn't fvck with my goddamn head, all the fvcking time. The trust. The utter submission.
I made sweet and gentle love to her, taking extra care to make her feel so good, she'll be sobbing mindlessly, clutching me tightly and crying out into the night while shivering to my every touch.
She's an addiction in my fvcking blood. Our nine months of being together has done absolutely nothing to abate that addiction.
Maybe, it's just the love I have for the wide-eyed innocent florist with the body of a goddess, the face of a model and an essence of light and so much purity, she captivated me on sight.
All in all, everyday of our lives is the roll of the dice. Everyday of our lives is a brand new and happy day.
It's been one months since our wedding, and today, I'm on patrol duties.
As usual, whenever I'm on parole, I make a stop at Lani's just to convince myself that she's fine and alright, even though we talk every now and them.

"So, I want to make a garden at my backyard..." the old woman was saying to me, "....my son-in-law just bought the house for me, you see. But I don't know how to go about this, making a garden."
I smiled at the old woman, "Oh, mama. I would have wanted to help you out with the garden, I've always been very good at it, but..." I placed a hand on my swollen belly, and flushed.
The old woman grinned at me, "Oh, my daughter, it's no problem at all. You can't make a garden now, not in your condition. You just help me select the best of them flowers to plant that'll make a very beautiful sight in the garden when they're all grown, will you?"
I returned the woman's smile with one of my radiant ones. "Of course, mama, that much I can do. You just wait here while I get varieties I know you'll love."
"Take your time, honey." The old woman said, taking a seat at one of the cushion the living room of my store.
I did take my time, gratefully. Going round from one flower room to another, handpicking out several flowers from Rose to Hibiscus to Barbados to Lilies to Daisies to Alamandas.
Finally, I carried everything and slowly deposited them on the table. "Here they are, mama." I said as I wrapped everything up before handing it to her.
She thanked me and made her payments. "Pregnancy looks really good on you, dear. You remind me so much of my daughter when she was pregnant too." She confided with a warm smile.
My cheeks flushed with pleasure and I smiled warmly. "Thank you so much, mama."
"How many months along?" She asked.
"Five months, mama."
"Wow! You look seven months, even though it suits you so well. You're glowing."
"My husband and I are having twins." The smile spread across my face.
The old woman smiled back, radiantly happy. "My God! Congratulations, my dear."
"Thank you so much, ma'am."
"Alright, I'll get going now. See you later, dear." She was waving and talking as she walked.
I waved right back, stood at the door and watched her leave. I was about to enter my store again when two familiar boys came running close.
"Good afternoon, Ma'am." Saul said with a cheeky grin on his face.
I tried to return the boy's grin even as I looked wary. The two boys have been looking at me so flirtatiously every time, not minding that I'm way older than them and very pregnant.
"Good afternoon, Saul and Hammond. What you two wanna buy today?" I asked, going back inside.
"Roses, ma'am. Fresh roses." Hammond answered for both of them.
I nodded and proceeded to take care of their order. The truth is that I'm not even sure these kids really want Roses. I almost think they're coming here every day not for Roses but to flirt with me. It's just an assumption though.
Nonetheless, I took their order and tried to attend to them courteously.

Those boys are sniffing around my wife.
That's the first thought that filled my head as I entered the vicinity of Lani's store and saw the two teenagers grinning cheekily and staring greedily at Lani.
Bastards are literally fvcking my wife with their eyes!
How dare them eye-fvck what's mine!?
A growl erupted from my throat as I started closer, "Hey, you both!" I reached closer, held them both by the arm and dragged them away from Lani's front store.
"What're you doing, Zav?" She called out.
"Just a minute, baby. I'll gonna have a word with these two!" I called right back.
Dragging them to a place I'm sure Lani wouldn't see, I let them go and glared down at them. They shifted uncomfortably at their feet. "Good afternoon, sheriff."
"The next time you both stare at my wife again, I'm gonna make sure you spend some chill time behind bars....right after I've knocked out two of your teeth from both of you. Am I making myself clear!?" I asked through gritted teeth, begging heavens for patience.
"Y-Yes, sheriff!" They answered immediately, fear gripping from them.
"You see her coming through this way, you go the other fvcking way, you feel me?"
"But, we're her customers!" Saul chirped in.
I clocked my head to the side and thought about that. Well, it's not as if I'll go right around chasing away her customers just because they leave the damn flowers and stare at the florist. And Lani will be very mad if I chase her customers away.
"Whenever you come to get flowers for your non-existent boyfriends, you make sure to stare at the goods not at the florist!" I admonished, gritting my teeth.
"But, sheriff!"
"Am I making myself clear!?"
"Yes, Sheriff." They grumbled.
I ran my tongue across my lips, hands on my hips. "Get caught again and I'll arrest you for assault and battery. That's one month in juvenile prison."
Real fear flashed in their eyes then. "No, please, don't arrest us!"
"You do well not to commit the crimes." I turned one hip towards them so they'll see the gun strapped to my hip.
"I promise!" Saul vowed immediately.
"I promise!" Hammond seconded.
Triumph filled me. "Good. Get fvcking going, both of you!'
The both of them scattered away like their asses were on fire.
I took several deep calming breaths before I headed back to the front of Lani's store. She still stood at the door, waiting.
"What did you do to them?" She asked curiously.
I waved her off, "We had a man-to-man conversation, baby. Nothing to worry about."
She looked at me suspiciously, crossing her arms.
I raised both hands. "Truly. Nothing to worry about." Not if those kids heed my warning, I added under my breath.
She beamed then. "You on patrol?"
"Yup." My eyes slid all over her as i walked closer.
The loose gown she wore would have been knee-length but her belly tented the front of the gown up, making it fall just above her knees.
She has one hand resting protectively on her belly, her wavy blond hair loose falling way past her shoulders.
I've never seen a more sexy sight in my whole damn light. Well, except when she's naked.
"You're looking at me like that again." She breathed as I got closer and entered the store with her.
"Like what?" I asked, closing the door.
A blush crept to her white cheeks. "Like you want to d-devour me."
