Chapter 357: Wrong Date? III

"I think we should head home. Or do you want something else? Maybe a different flavor of ice cream?" Antonio’s heart, as he attempted patience, shook with giddiness while contemplating their next move for the night.

Home had never sounded better.

Unfortunately, Athena didn’t share the same ideas with him. "Yes, I think we should head home. The twins will be expecting me."

For a second, Antonio was confused.

What twins was she talking about? He wondered, before he understood that Athena was making a clear pointer that she wouldn’t be following him home.

That didn’t sit well with him.

"You are not checking out my house tonight?" A sad voice.

A sad tune that rang in Athena’s ears but went unappreciated.

She was an adult, had seen and heard her fair share of lines, and she knew that following a man to his new place to check it out mostly connoted sharing the new bed with him.

She wasn’t even relaxed enough to kiss him fully, not to mention spend a couple of hours with him—maybe under candlelight?(who knows what else he has planned?--talking around topics.

Too bad, she wouldn’t be there to see it.

"No, not tonight. Maybe I will call on you tomorrow afternoon with the kids. Is that okay?" She finally spoke, maintaining an innocent smile.

A pause. "Athena, you seem to be avoiding me."
