Chapter 51"You love her huh?" Kevin asked his brother."Shut up and drive.""Harsh." Kevin muttered.Brandon sighed and turned to his brother. "I know you still have doubts about her and I also know nothing I do will be able to stop you from doubting her but it's true that I love her. And to be sincere, I want you to like her too or maybe give her a chance."Kevin chuckled. "Funny how that's exactly the same thing our friends told me yesterday.""Serious?""Yeah. Everyone said I should give her a chance." Kevin sighed. "It's not like I don't want to trust her or anything. It's just that it's the Templetons we are talking about. And frankly speaking, you really did ruin Emma for me with all the stories you told me about her.""I still don't like her. I'm in love with her doesn't mean I like her." Brandon said to him.Kevin gave his brother a raised eyebrow. "You really want to fool yourself into thinking that now?" "Well, she's the one who said it. I'm just repeating what she said."

Chapter 53Piper came to a conclusion. She did not like Lydia. And she was done being civil with her. She had tried that because they now had a mutual friend but Lydia was trying to destroy Emma's image. She always said off handed and rude comments about her supposed best friend. Piper had no idea if Emma noticed it and was trying to ignore her or if she didn't notice it at all. But there was one thing Piper was sure of. One more rude comment from Lydia, and she was going to let her have it. She cared not if Zoey wanted her to or not."I love meat." Emma said to them with a smile as her order was placed in front of her."Since when?" Lydia eyed her friend.She was sure she knew everything about Emma and she had no idea that Emma was a fan of meat.Emma blinked at her friend as she cut through the steak. "Since forever?""Um, that's not possible. You always ordered salads everytime we ate out."ydia said to her.Emma shrugged. "I don't know, maybe the pregnancy brought out the cravings?

Chapter 55Brandon watched Emma with a smile as she wrapped the blanket around her. It wasn't the first time they shared the same bed but it was the first time he had the privilege of watching her. For all her perfections, Emma drooled while she slept. He should be irritated but it made him like her more. When they were in the university and even when they were sleeping with each other, he had thought she was perfect. Too perfect but with every waking moment in her presence, he noticed that there was no way she could be perfect. And that perhaps it was his jealousy speaking during those times. Her life, which he had thought was extremely easy, was not easy at all and he admired her for still being able to stand unshaken after everything that had happened to her.He watched her as she blinked her eyes open and his heartbeat surged when she gave him a smile."Good morning."Brandon swallowed. It was definitely a good morning. "Emma, I'm going to kiss you now."Emma frowned. Where had th

Chapter 57"Intentions?" It was Benji who spoke up before Emma could reply.Felix turned to him with a frown. "Is that not what I'm supposed to ask?"Kevin spoke up "Of course not grandpa. It's supposed to be along the lines of are you sure that bay is my grandson's? Or something like that?" Emma had to agree with Kevin. She had been expecting questions like that but instead, Felix had hit her with something else. Something she was not expecting."Well, Brandon here has vouched for her and everything so I figured I'd skip all those parts and just ask what she wants with him. I'm traveling to Africa soon and I want to be sure he is in good hands." Felix replied to him."Dad, I don't understand your logic at all." David said to him with a smile."I'm trying to watch out for my favorite grandson here."Kevin released a gasp in surprise. "I thought I was your favorite grandson."Felix hissed. "Quiet before Brandon hears you.""I can hear you alright." Brandon replied to him with an eyero

Chapter 59There was no time to second guess anything. Emma closed the little distance between them and placed her lips on Brandon's. Brandon broke the kiss and tried to get her to talk with him. But she had a crazed look in her eyes."I want you, Brandon." She said as she moved her hands around his biceps, tracing it to the crook of his neck. "Don't deny me this, please."Brandon lost the fight then and there. He had little hold over himself when it came to Emma and her demands or requests. He knew he was going to do everything in his power to ensure that she was happy and while he knew they still needed to talk, it's been days since he got his release. And what other better way than to have that with Emma when she was so into it at the moment.With her hold on him, she angled her mouth over his and initiated the kiss again. Brandon kissed her with the same hunger she used in him. He wanted her also and he was willing to have what little pieces he could of her. He moved his hands and
