Chapter 213 - Slow

She wanted to apologize to Ian but because of pride, she just let it off and made him her slave with all of the things that she needed. Violet glanced at Maxine who just came home from work. She quickly washed her hands to prepare for dinner. 

"Aren't you tired?" Violet asked. 

"Not at all. I am excited about my job in the new restaurant. They give a big tip too." 

"That's nice." Violet glanced at Bull who put the groceries on top of the counter table. 

"How's your day?" Bull asked Violet. 

"It's great," Violet said. "Ian has to go back to her girlfriend." 

"Why won't you just tell Leon to do this and that?" 

"Nah, it won't work." 

Violet was currently letting Bull and Maxine in the new house that she purchased. It's not a mansion but it has three guest rooms and they are using one of the master's bedrooms. It's nice to have Maxine around. She left a few valuable things around like gold and she would always put it on the drawer and later would tell her that she put it there so she could clean the countertops. 

"By the way, Ian sent a few things. Should I bring it here?" Bull asked. 

"Yes, please. In the living room." She reached her round tummy and rubbed it. "I'll check it tomorrow. I think the baby's tired." 

"Good night," Maxine said. "But did you already have your dinner?" 

"Yup. Just the frozen pizza. I'll eat later." She waved at them. 

She went to her room and removed her robe. She lay down and turned to the space where Victoria would prefer to sleep. The loneliness in her heart was slowly making her lifeless after she lost him. Now, she was eager to get him back for the sake of their baby. Victor wanted a child. He wanted a baby girl that would look like her but the baby boy is fine. She always has Victor's photo where he was wearing an army uniform. He looked so handsome. 

"I love you, Victor. I'll see you soon." She gently pulled the sheet over her shoulder and put her hand over the photo of her Victor.

Terrence was massaging Maxine's calves and feet. He knew how hard she worked every day just to have money. Although he can give her money, he knows that she won't stop working. He already gave her brother a big lecture and currently, he's finding a decent job although he was injured. He doesn't want Maxine to get hurt anymore. 

"Is it alright for Violet if we stay here?" Maxine asked. 

"This house is close to your workplace and it's also close to her workplace." 

"I thought she's resigning?" 

"She will in a few days. She needs to relax and soon she will undergo labor. We need to support her." 

"I~I am willing to do that. Violet is so nice and she even provided clothes for me since you wouldn't let me go back to my old house." 

"Your house isn't even called home. You don't deserve to live there." He grumbled and she only pouted. 

She understood why he hated it so much. He didn't want her to get hurt again. After he's done, he reached the tablet and checked the house. Although he already checked the locks, he still wanted to check every camera if it's working well. 

"I'll give you a more beautiful house soon." He told her. He waited for her to respond but when he turned his head, she's already asleep in the same position. "You don't have to work so hard, Maxi." He put the tablet away as he bent down and kissed her forehead. "I love you." He kissed her lips but she didn't respond. She's completely asleep. 

He gently pulled the duvet and covered it to her body. Just when he's about to sleep, he notices the blinks on the tablet which means that there's a movement detected. He reached it and found Violet checking the foods on the tablet while rubbing her stomach. He reached for his phone and sent her a message. She checked her phone and sent it back. 

Once he was sure that she's okay, he lay down to sleep. Then, suddenly, he felt her turn to him and snuggled at him. He turned to her and hugged her. She smelled like vanilla and roses. He closed his eyes hard and breathed in and out not to get aroused by her scent. She's wearing comfortable pajamas that cover her arms and legs. She can't be alluring and sexy in front of his eyes while wearing those baggy outfits. But she's so beautiful and they promise each other to do it. 

Terrence is new in this kind of relationship but he's willing more to protect her rather than initiating lovemaking. 

"Terrence," She murmured and held his shirt tightly. "Rence…" she mumbled. 

"Are you dreaming about me?" He grinned and rubbed her back. 

She hummed and opened her eyes. She looked up at him and moved closer to kiss his lips. 

"I was dreaming of you." She said and yawned. 

"About what?" He asked as he moved down to be at her chest level as he shoved his face to her neck. 

"We were making love." She giggled and caressed his hair. Terrence seemed to freeze for a while. She was fast asleep and had a dream. That's kind of weird. "I want to go back to sleep." 

"Okay," he nodded and he felt utterly weird about it. But he doesn't mind at all. 

"I want to make love to you too." She whispered. 

"Do you prefer marriage first?" 

"I never dreamed of marriage." She looked down at him. "Do I have to wait before you give your virginity to me?" She grinned and teased him. 

"Babe, I'm not a virgin." He looked up at her and then shoved his face to her chest. 

"I'm tired. Maybe we can do it this weekend?" She grinned at him. 

"Babe, I don't know what to do with you." He started kissing her neck. She giggled and held him tightly. "Are you fully aware that you made me aroused?" 

"Yeah." She giggled at him. 

"By the way," He gently pushed himself up and kissed her forehead. "I have a surprise for you." 

"I'm excited." She sat up and yawned. He went to the drawer and took out a small box. He approached her and gave it to her. " Let me guess, a small vibrator?" She giggled and teased him. He laughed and patted her head. 

"It's more than that." 

She opened the box and found cards and keys. 

"What's this?" She asked and took out the key with a small remote. It seemed to be a car. "This is an Audi?" 

"It's an SUV." He nodded his head. "I put all of my savings under your name just in case something bad happened to me." 

"Terrence," She frowned at him. "What do you mean?" 

"After Violet gives birth, for like three months, she needs to go back to work and if they learn that she has a baby with their main killing machine, they will surely take the baby." 

"But, you?" She shook her head. "I can't do this." 

"Hey, this is a credit card. It's a gold card. You can live on this big money until you grow old. You don't have to work either." 

"No." She shook her head. "Terrence, don't make fun of me."

"Babe," he scooped her face. "I'm not. I have to do this job. Violet already planned on what to do. They don't know about you and the baby will be safe with you. Then, you must go to the Andromeda Mondragon or Sabrina Alvarez. They can help you." 

"I~I have to take the baby?" 

"Yes." He exhaled slowly. "I know that what I am asking is hard. But please, help us." 

She bit her lower lip and stared at it. Then, she thought of Violet. She remembered how protective she was to her big brothers although they weren't blood-related. She also remembered how Violet bought clothes that would fit on her for her work and everything. She was extra nice to her, and she could see how she cared so much about Terrence. 

"I will help you. But you have to promise me that you have to come back safely." 

"I will." He kissed her hand. "You can use the credit card now." 

"It's night. I can't go shopping unless it's the weekend." She put it in the drawer. 

"And I will teach you how to drive this weekend." He scooped her face and kissed her lips passionately. 

"You feel hard." She mumbled and reached his crotch. 

"Stop teasing me." He chuckled and kissed her lips more and then her neck. 

"I'm even surprised that you didn't take advantage of me last night." 

"I swear, I tried hard." He kissed her cheeks hard. "Do you want to do something tonight? We don't have to go all the way." 

"Really?" She grinned. "Game! As long as it's you. I trust you." 

"Can I undress you?" 

She nodded excitedly.
