She told them and that had them running night to the car
“So very obedient today I see”
she chuckled.
“Oh I wonder why?”
she stated, and they poked then tongues out at her as they buckled up in the backseat.
She’d not allowed them to bring that phone, but they were allowed to have their tablets which they could take photos with. She didn’t want Calvin to track their armval. it wasn’t necessary as far as she was concerned.
She’d always done what she’d said she would
It was a relatively quiet drive from about halfway there, and as she parked the car, both boys were completely silent. They’d gone from nervous excitement to just nervous now, and she knew it. He might be their father, but they’d never met him in person and though they texted him every day, it was different meeting human person upposed to
Will knew the boys would be with her, and he had set this meeting up in the hotel restaurant’s lounging area. for a relaxed morning brunch meeting to make it a less formal setting for Calvin and the boys to meet for the fist time. She’d agreed that it was probably a better idea than having that first moment in a conference room.
Marilyn walked into the hotel. Her boys were both holding a hand each as they walked through the lobby. She’d already told both of them where the meeting was going to take place, and as she walked into the restaurant she could see Calvin and Wil were seated at a table, not that far away, and the lady by the door asked her if she had a reservation. She nodded
“I’ll be joining that table over there.”
She’d stated nodding to where they were sitting. She couldn’t point to it.
???????????????????????????
Because both her boys were suddenly clutching at her arms, she saw as both Calvin and Wil stood up. realising she was there. Wil smiled right at her and Calvin kind of looked taken aback. Clearly Wil had kept this under wraps like he’d said he would. She couldn’t even raise a hand in greeting. Because of the death grips her boys had on her.
“Morning Wil.”
She greeted him first,
“Mr Reeves.”
She stated formally and Wil had to turn his head away and not laugh. She nearly smiled at Wil’s response. He knew she had a fair few memories back. Understood at that moment, she was going to play at not remembering.
“Morning Marilyn.”
Wil managed to get out without drawing Calvin’s attention to himself.
Her eyes were on Calvin, and they went from the boys to her, and she realised that she’d rendered him speechless. That wasn’t something that often happened or not that she recalled anyhow.
“I… I didn’t know you were…
“Callum and Vincent wanted to surprise you. Their doing.”
She stated the truth of the matter.
“I’d hug you, but…”
“I wouldn’t. You and I, Mr Reeves, are not on good enough terms for that.
“Boys, do you want to introduce yourselves to your father?”
She asked them.
They were both kind of hugged into her as they looked up at him. He towered over them.
“Yes, he’s very tall.”
She commented and looked at Calvin,
“Perhaps Mr Reeves, you’d best sit down.”
She stated, and he looked right at her. There was a slight frown on his face.
“Please Marilyn, call me Calvin.”
He offered as he sat down and then smiled at the boys.
“Hmm, I don’t think that’s appropriate for our relationship.”
She stated simply.
“This is Callum on my right, and Vincent on my left.”
She introduced them when neither of the boys went to do it themselves, were still quietly just staring at him.
Calvin
He was a little on the nervous side this morning, and that wait until 10am was going to wind up his nerves even more. He’d have much preferred to have a breakfast meeting with Marilyn rather than a brunch meeting, even though she was now allowing him and the twins to have free and unrestricted interactions with each other over the past few weeks.
She’d also agreed to let him send pictures of his entire family to the boys, and he’d made an effort to get up when the boys did, as well, when he was in Houston, so that he could greet them first thing in the morning, before they were off to school, because his usual wake??p time was 7am which put them leaving the house for school 10 minutes later.
He knew quite a bit about the boys, what they liked to eat for breakfast and that they liked being outside a lot, riding their bikes, or scooters and playing soccer. Wil had thought that was absolutely hilarious; to hear that they played soccer. He had told him the twins were going to be jocks. Calvin had huffed a little but left it alone, all kids were active. That didn’t mean they’d grow up and want to play sports or be mean like some of the kids he’d had to deal with during his schooling years.
He didn’t really know what to expect from this meeting today. He only knew that as of midnight last night that AVO and restraining order were officially over, and Marilyn had not reinstated a new one. So as long as he didn’t screw anything up from here on out, everything could start to hopefully go smoothly from today onwards.
He’d checked that app at 0930 and there was no movement on that phone. It was still at the house in
Bedford, and he had a feeling Marilyn had done that on purpose; left it there so that he couldn’t track her arrival. He was, however, now sitting in the hotel restaurant’s casual brunch area facing the door she would walk through.
He might not know when she’d get here, but he’d see her the moment she did arrive. He’d opted for casual wear, just jeans and a cable??nit sweater. It was much colder here than it was in Houston, and he did not want to appear formal with her. He wanted to give the appearance he was friendly and just a normal everyday person.
Though Wil was dressed semi??ormal in slacks and a short??leeved dress shirt, but that was his usual attire when out with Calvin, even when not on business, he only ever truly dressed casually in his home or when out with Anabell.
