Filed To Story: Goddess's Design His Fated Mate (Willow & Reuben)
Reuben’s eyes grew sadder. “I don’t know whether you can get back everything that you’ve lost or not but since you desire redemption maybe you will not lose the future
The sadness in Reuben’s eyes vanished upon hearing me as he completely hooked my fingers with his as a small smile played on his lips. “I vow that I will not lose the future,”
he promised, his happiness revealing the most handsome side of him that quickened my heartbeat again.
I slowly pulled my hand back and got out of the bed, “I I am going to take a shower,”
with quick steps, I made my way to the bathroom and locked myself inside without looking back.
Leaning against the door, I closed my eyes, feeling Reuben’s presence on the other side of the door. I thought he would say something but he remained mute for a long time like he knew I was there too. A while later I heard his footsteps retreating from the door as he exited the bedroom.
Moving away from the door, I stepped into the shower but my mind was filled with only thoughts of Reuben and his words. My heart was still beating faster at his claim of not losing the future. I did not know if what I had done was wrong or right. I was not even sure if my decision would end up giving me more pain, or end up becoming just another regret of my life but at that moment I followed my stupid heart. I bit my lip and clenched my chest. What the hell was I doing?’
A while later an Omega knocked on the door. She had come to deliver my clothes that obviously Reuben had sent to me. I could not help but frown to see my bra and underwear among the pile. That man! Every drop of water on my skin felt sensitive and this feeling helped distract me.
After finishing my shower and getting dressed, I exited the bathroom only to find Reuben sitting on the sofa with his laptop and a delicious breakfast sitting on the table in front of him.
He seemed quite serious when he worked. Once he saw me, he closed his laptop, “Come here. Let’s eat,”
he gestured.
I quietly sat on the sofa across from him, clearly starving as I had not eaten dinner last night either. To my surprise, my breakfast consisted of a fruit salad, a glass of milk, and half of an omelet. It had all clearly been prepared by Reuben. Like I had predicted, his overbearing button was pushed due to the discovery of my weakness which was not a big deal. He was taking it as a serious health issue.
I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, instantly getting caught by his knowing look.
“Do you have anything to say?”
He asked, taking a sip of his coffee. Being in no mood for an argument, I just started eating my food that was incredibly delicious even though it was a simple breakfast. A look of satisfaction crossed Reuben’s face at my obedience.
As he picked up his fork to eat his omelet Lori’s voice bounced around the room. “Mommy ”
she raced into the bedroom. Her hair was down but she was dressed and seemed to have taken a shower which surprised me. It was still eight so how was it that the children had woken up without me going to wake them up, give them a bath, and get them dressed? Lori looked at Reuben and I with big blue eyes.
“Come to daddy,”
Reuben stretched his arm to her. She immediately raced over to him. “Did you finish your breakfast?”
Reuben brushed his thumb on her soft cheek.
“Yes, but my brother is still eating downstairs,”
she replied in a childish voice.
“Good,”
Reuben smiled, pulling Lori up his lap.
I blinked at the scene in front of me. Wait, could it be that Reuben went to wake up and dress the children while I was taking a shower? He even fed them and got them ready for kindergarten.
“Why were you looking for mommy?”
Reuben sweetly asked Lori.
“Mommy does my hair for me everyday, but she was not in her room so I came here looking for mommy,”
I put my fork back down on the plate with a smile, “come here, I will do your hair.”
“You eat your breakfast. I will do Lori’s hair,”
Reuben remarked, taking a comb and the hair elastic from Lori’s hand.
“You will do it?”
I was surprised.
“Yes, I can!”
he stated proudly, starting combing Lori’s hair.
“Lori, do you want daddy to do your hair?”
he asked her.
“Yes, I do,”
she nodded happily.
Reuben looked twice as happy. I stared at him as he separated her hair into two portions very professionally then collected one side of her hair. He indeed had some difficulty and stopped a couple of seconds as he recalled something before he continued. Lori sat on his lap moving and playing with her puzzle. She moved her legs like she always did but Reuben was too engrossed in the hair to notice. My heart warmed at the sight in front of me. Reuben he really looked like a father.
As this thought crossed my mind, I was surprised at myself. What was I thinking? I continued watching Reuben as he took her cartoon hair elastic bands and finally made two beautiful buns in Lori’s hair. I blinked in surprise. She looked absolutely adorable. Did he practice that or something?
“Done,”
Reuben grinned happily. “My princess is ready for kindergarten,”
he kissed her cheek.
“Thank you daddy,”
Lori kissed him back on the cheek then raced to me for a kiss.
“Mommy, I am ready!”
“Good,”
I smiled.
“Willow, I am here to take children to the kindergarten,”
Mia shouted from downstairs.
“Let’s go, Aunt Mia is here,”
I gave Lori a goodbye kiss and got up holding her hand.
“Daddy ”
Lori stretched her other little hand towards Reuben.
Reuben smiled, taking her other hand as we started walking her out of the room. At that moment, Wyatt was coming towards the hallway. He paused looking at the three of us with big watery eyes, “Daddy only loves Lori. He forgot me. I want to hold hands with mommy and daddy!”
