Gabriel didn't respond..

"You know," Pulling him around to face her, she offered a reassuring smile. "If something really did happen, we can always take our mind off of it by," Pausing, she slowly undid the rope of the gown she was wearing, exposing her black lace bra. "Doing something fun." Despite the lack of interest he was showing, Angelina's fingers had already begun undoing the

buttons on his shirt.

"I'm not in the mood, Angelina." He stopped her, pulling her hands off and stepping away. And don't forget what Doctor Ken said, you need rest."

At his words, Angelina's lips twitched, but her expression did not show the annoyance she felt

in her heart.

How the hell was she supposed to have his baby when he barely even touches her?

Each time she tries this very same plan, one thing or another would always spoil it, and yet it was, repeating itself again.

Cursing on the inside, she clenched her hand, but still forced a smile to her lips as she

addressed Gabriel.

"You're right, that was thoughtless of me," Fixing the rope of her gown, she quickly changed the topic, initiating her second plan for the night. "You know, I was at Dakota's tea gathering today," Pulling out a white invitation from her bag, she waved it in the air for Gabriel to see. Stellar's holding her birthday party this week,"

Stellar Walker, just like the rest of Angelina's friends, possessed some status in high society, she was no different from Angelina, except that her family wasn't as big or rich. However, the Walker's weren't short in funds and could hold a party that would cost thousands, so, a party thrown by her, was bound to be something grand, fully of aristocrat Comadired & Friend

coming to show of their money or finest wears, few coming to make genuine business

contacts.

And a party like that was not Gabriel's turf, which begged the question of why Angelina was currently flashing an invitation to one of said parties in front of him.

"I got Us Invites, Gabe." The brunette added, answering the questions written all over Gabriel's face. "You're going to come with me, right?" Perching herself on the arm of the chair he now sat in, she batted her lashes in a pleading manner. Sighing, he tried to refuse. "I don't know Ange,"

"Come on, Gabe, I promise, it's gonna be fun." She tugged on his hand. "Please, I really want to go to Stel's party. Please Gabe.

Gabriel had already refused, and yet, as the minutes ticked by, and as the number of times Angelina said please continued increasing, Gabriel finally caved..

"Alright, fine."

Jumping to her feet at the news, Angelina childishly clapped her hands together in triumph. " Yay! You're the best."

Pecking his cheek briefly, she raced towards the door, ready to go shopping for her party dress, however, just as she crossed the threshold of the door, she paused and looked above her shoulder, eyes shinning mischievous as they landed on Gabriel's seating form. "Don't worry Gabe, I'm gonna remain true to me words and make sure you enjoy yourself at the party."

With a wink, the door closed behind her, leaving a dumbfounded Gabriel who was still trying to make sense of her words.

The next day, resting against the door of her car, in front of Ashely's kindergarten, Leonical waited for the sound of the school bell to ring.

No less than a minute later, the bell rang and children came flying out of the school's door like rats. Pushing herself off the car, Leonica weaved her way through the masses of short people, soon spotting her son who was approaching with Daisy, hand in hand. "Mommy!" The boy yelled, upon seeing his mother, letting go of his friend's hand and dashing towards her.

Smiling, Leonica bent down, scooping the boy in her arms. "Hey baby."

"Miss Leonica!" Daisy greeted, a shy smile on her lips as she waved.

"Hey Daisy." Leonica greeted the small girl, ruffling her hair as soon as she got close. "You got someone picking you up today?"

"Mhmm." The little nodded her head. "My daddy's gonna pick me up soon." She added and almost immediately, her eyes caught sight of said figure approaching from behind Leonica.

"Daddy!" She yelled, running towards his open arms just like Ashely had done.

Arvan instantly accepted his daughter's hug, scooping her up and giving her and turn around. "How's my princess doing?" He asked, setting her back down.

"I'm good," Smiling, the little girl pointed to Ashely and Leonica. "Look, it's Ashley's mom."
