CHAPTER 2
"You're a great mother Sage and those boys are blessed to have you don't doubt yourself.You've done an amazing job in taking care of them and you'll continue to do so."
"Thanks friend for the vote of confidence."
"You welcome."She said."Let me not keep you.I love you and the minute you settled in I'm gonna come and visit."
"I'm expecting you to."Sage answered."Goodnight and I love you too."After the call Sage went to fetch the last of their bags and boxes.She arranged everything come tomorrow she won't have time because the boys will keep her busy.Thankfully she doesn't have to clean again,the place was still spotless the way she left it,the twins are allergic to dust every time they breathe it in they sneeze and cough alot not to mention the red rashes they get on their skin every corner of the place has to be clean,the boys has been diagnosed with diabetes Sage had learned that when she'd taken them for their six month appointment that's when the doctors told her Liam and Logan are diabetic Sage had been baffled by the news she couldn't understand how that was possible but the doctors told her it was genetic or hereditary if one parent has it the chances are high it could be passed on to the kids,she wasn't a diabetic no one in her family was not that she knows of so that left only their father,it's the only explanation.The boys have type one diabetes and will probably have it throughout their entire lives now her boys are getting several insulin injections daily,she's always on her toes when it comes to them she takes extra care in everything she does with them.They just started eating solid food the doctor gave Sage a whole menu of what they can and cannot eat,her poor babies.As long as they are healthy she doesn't care she'll do anything for them to ensure they are safe and sound.Later that night in bed she couldn't sleep her mind keeps on going back to the last time she'd been in Maimi and that's when she'd met the twins father,her very own mystery man.He's unknown.
Bruno checked the clock on his office wall it was past midnight and he was still busy with work.For the last couple of months he's been avoiding his uncle who wants him to marry the daughter of a business friend,he has nothing against Lana but he never pictured himself getting married after he found his twin brother and fiancee in bed together till date he cannot get the picture of them out of his head,the betrayal cuts deep,he can't bring himself to forgive both of them even if it has been over a year.He had thought Maya was the perfect woman for him that's why he'd wanted to make her his wife and probably have kids with her in future little did he know his own brother and fiancee has been having an affair behind his back.Just thinking about it makes him angry at thirty two he should be settled down instead he has a different women in his bed every other week,after Maya he made a vow never to get personally involved with any women and so far he hasn't,he only sates his needs as a man and moves on.It was for the best now his uncle is pressurising him to marry Maya's sister Lana,he had slept with her once and that had been it,he doesn't feel that chemistry with her,not the way he had with one certain fair skinned beauty with auburn hair and chocolate brown eyes.
A woman who's name he doesn't even know,a woman who with just a glance had captured his attention who had come alive in his arms and gave him the best night ever.A woman he'll never ever forget that night he'd lost his necklace it had a cross on it the only reminder he had of his late mother,his mother had given it to him on the night of her passing.By the time he'd realise it was gone it had been too late neither she or the necklace had been there when he had gone back to the hotel later that night.How could he search for someone he doesn't know. Where would he begin so he'd let it go,after that he never did find someone who compares to her.Brown eyes he'd called her that night during their lovemaking eyes that glowed brightly with passion and need.In her arms he forgot everything including Maya she made him forget.His cell rang it was his uncle he let it go straight to voicemail he knows what he will say and Bruno wasn't in the mood to listen to him.He stood and walked over to the window he gazed out at the city Miami really was busy it doesn't matter what time of day people drink and party like there's no tomorrow,and that's exactly what he's gonna do right now go out and have fun,it's been a while since he got laid. Since he's had a woman in his bed he'll face tomorrow when it comes, taking his jacket he left his office,he'll go talk to his uncle tomorrow morning early.
Sage has just given Liam and Logan their early morning shots,when her cell rang it was her boss Kim every morning before they wake she does yoga exercise to get her day going."Sage.Morning."
"Morning Kim.How can I help?"
"I know I said I'll give you time to settle in but unfortunately I need someone to fill in for Sammy she called in sick yesterday it's only for three days."
Sage has four days left of her week she was suppose to meet the new sitter for the boys today and she'll only be able to meet Sage tonight on the other hand she doesn't want to let Kim down."Kim I don't have anyone to watch the boys Jesse who'll be their new sitter is only coming to meet me tonight so we can finalise everything."
"I'll find someone for you and pay her too."She must be desperate Sage thought if she wants to do this."All I need is you here.We cannot afford to mess this up the last company got fired for slacking this is our biggest contract ever if we mess this up I don't think we'll ever work anywhere again.Romero Corporations is a big company worldwide having them on our resume will open doors for our business.Please Sage."
Sage know Kim's cleaning business is just picking up and when she had gotten this contract she had been so happy it's a big break for her and the business because Sage had heard the company will benefit hugely from this she can understand the stress Kim must be in not to blow this."Okay.What time should I be there."
"Five.You know where the company is."
She sure does Romero Corporations is a forty story building and stood out from the buildings surroundings it on her visit here she had taken the time to familiarise herself with the place."I do.Should I pass by your office."
"No.Head straight over I'll come there I want to brief you on a few things and don't worry I'll send someone I trust to look after the twins.Thanks Sage."
"Don't mention it."She said,dropping the call after she put the boys in their cribs and went to pick up her yoga equipment in the livingroom.She called Jesse and moved their appointment to tomorrow morning,she agreed,next she took a quick shower before the boys had to eat and drink their bottles.She made the most of her day with the twins around midday a knock sounded on her door she was surprised to see Kim's younger sister on her doorstep.
"Casey?"She said."What are you doing here."
"I volunteered to watch the boys for you.May I."
Sage stepped aside for her to come in."Volunteered."
"Kim knows you won't trust anyone with them.I was with her when she called you.I don't have class tomorrow so I told her I would do it."
"Casey you didn't have to."Sage told her.
"I need the money,there's this stunning new dress I saw and you know my sister she won't just give me the money."
"I know,you have to work for what you want."
"Exactly."Casey said."Is that them."She asked going over to where Liam and Logan were sitting in their feeding chairs."They so adorable,I can't tell who's who.How do you do it,I'd get confused.How do you tell them apart."
Sage smiled."With this birth mark."She said showing Casey on Liam's left hand."Their eyes too.Logan's eyes are darker than Liam's."Casey bent down to look at them.
"They have beautiful eyes,it's so grey."She stood to look at Sage."You've got brown eyes so-..."
"Their father."Sage said,he has stormy grey eyes just like Logan's and he also has a dark mark on his left hand like Liam,there's nothing she doesn't remember about her handsome mystery man.Especially his beautiful eyes.
"Well you better give me a list of do's and don't's before you leave."Casey glanced at her wrist watch."We have an hour and a half."Sage spend the next hour showing Casey about the boys including how to give them their insulin injections tonight."They get it thirty minutes before dinner."Sage nodded.
"Okay I got it.Anything else?"
"No,we covered everything I have to warn you though Liam gets very cranky before bedtime only way he quiets down if you rock him to sleep.Logan is no trouble at all but when he senses Liam's restlessness then he'll began to cry too."
"I'll keep that in mind.Would you mind if I call over a friend to keep me company."Casey asked.
"No but as you can see there's hardly any space to move around."
