Day 20: Caught in the act

"I cannot believe you allowed that man into my house I'm definitely poisoning him" Kayla says as we finish up in the kitchen, I laugh.

"But I'm going to be civil for the sake of my baby, otherwise I would have long pushed him into the pool" I laugh out loud knowing very well that he would drown probably because the last time I checked he doesn't know how to swim or maybe now he does I mean I wouldn't know would I.

"You're being cruel but thank you Kay for being civil" I sigh "My heart feels so happy and usually it normally just feels heavy but-it doesn't and I feel so guilty" she drops what she's doing to come give me a hug.

"You don't at all have to feel guilty, your heart is slowly feeling at ease and is slowly accepting that it wasn't your fault, he was a very happy boy just know that, he knew he was loved and is still loved, but at some point we going to have to stop blaming ourselves and rather spend that time celebrating him" she breaks out of the hug and looks at me, wipes my tears and kisses my forehead. "Now let's go celebrate our princess, and you are bodying that pink swim wear" I laugh, letting her words sink in, she makes so much sense I haven't yet stopped blaming myself and have spent so much time crying and pointing fingers at myself that I forgot to even celebrate him.

We walk to the backyard where we see Michale chasing after the other kids in the water and Ithan by the braai stand. We place everything on the table and Kayla walks to Ithan with her pink blonde hair bouncing behind her and with the her hips swaying in the pink swim suit she's wearing , I watch as she laughs at something Ithan says they'd really look good together, as I'm analyzing someone picks me up causing me to squeal I look up and see Michale he walks to the pool and stands just at the edge and the kids start cheering for him to drop me into the pool, I look at him with pleading eyes.

"Please don't" he just smirks and they start the countdown.

"Mr Roberts please" I whisper in his ear and he looks into my eyes.

"One Mrs Roberts" and then I was thrown into the pool, when I come back up I look at him smirking feeling so proud of himself.

"I dare you to jump into the pool" I say to him "Can you even swim?" he looks at me offended and I laugh, the kids come out of the pool to go play with dough that was set up inside leaving Michale and I by the pool.

"I'm going to jump" he announces.

"Mr Roberts go ahead"

"I'm going to jump" I look at him getting all nervous, so he can easily throw me into the pool but cannot what? jump into the pool, I get out of the pool and stand next to him.

"What exactly are you measuring" I ask teasingly, he looks at me and I laugh.

"We can jump together" he side eyes me.

"I believe I can do it on my own" I roll my eyes at the confidence in his voice.

"Yeah sure whatever" I say looking ahead.

"On your mark-"
"Five-"

"On your mark Ilana?" he looks at me and laughs I shrug my shoulders isn't that what we're supposed to say? we countdown from five.

"One" We run and jump into the pool, I come up from under the water and start laughing and well him on the other hand seemed to swallow the water and so is choking.

"Did you jump into the pool with your mouth open" I laugh walking towards him, I get to him and start rubbing his chest and back still laughing, once he's fine he joins me in laughing, and without caution he grabs me by the waist and pushes me into him that stops my laughing.

"Hahaha, why did you stop laughing" he whispers, his nose touching mine we stare into each other's eyes feeling each other's breath hit each of us.

"Did I tell how beautiful you look today" he whispers into my ear and with much struggle I manage to shake my head "Well I wrote a poem want to hear it"

"Roses are red, violets are blue beautiful in pink and I just want to kiss you" and on that note our lips met and danced, the dance that seemed so forbidden I mean it is forbidden isn't it? Considering the circumstances.

We separate and look at each other knowing this might be the moment he reminds me he's engaged or says how much he regrets it and how it's a mistake that should never happen again, I try to remove myself from him but he doesn't let me go, his hands locked on my waist, he brushes my wet hair with his fingers, I shake my head.

"Allow me to go please" I whisper, he looks at me concerned "That shouldn't have happened, it should never happen again" he contemplates at first and then finally let's me go.

"Do you regret it" he asks, I turn to look at him in the eye.

"Michale I need you to understand that I'm not yours to claim, you and I aren't one anymore"

"We haven't yet signed the di-"

"Yeah well five years is as good as signing them, look Michale yes we're still married but I need you to acknowledge the way you have treated me isn't how one should treat their wife, you love someone else and I'm okay with it hence we're separating but I will not let you use me or take advantage of me just to dispose me and remind me that you're engaged" turning on my heel I get out of the pool, and decide to go and take a breather in one of the rooms.

Opening the guest room I find Kayla and Ithan making out and they stop and look at me and I quickly close the door shut and run I don't know why I ran but I run.

"Ilana wait" Kayla shouts behind me and I stop, we're now by the passage she looks scared and nervous.

"We were going to tell you" she finally says, her eyes begin to well up, "I'm sorry-I really wanted to tell you and I know that you're mad and-"

"I'm not mad Kayla, it's just that I'm shocked, I love you two so much, and I'd never stand in either of your happiness, it's just really-wow" she laughs and asks if she can hug me, I nod and she comes running into my arms.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything" Ithan says coming out of nowhere, we break the hug and face him "Look it was my idea to keep it a secret-"

"You don't have to explain anything, I'm just sad that you felt that keeping it away from me was better, as if I'm a difficult person and-"

"We were scared, we didn't know how you were going to feel, I mean your best best friend and your favorite brother-"

"You're the only sibling I have" he smiles, I smile back and roll my eyes.

"I guess it makes sense and I'm not mad however I will still deal with both of you individually"

"But nevertheless if you guys are happy then so am I" Kayla holds her tears and hugs me, Ithan comes to join in on the hug, I'm honestly not mad I'm actually happy that they find happiness in each other.

"So wait she's the Annah? And he's Abraham?" I ask laughing, how did I not put two and two together.

"You said I'm Abraham? Couldn't you have chosen another name, that name is old" Ithan says to Kayla in disbelief.

"Yeah and Annah? I don't like that name either because it's almost like saying that girl Helena's name" Hannah she means. She looks at me and realizes that she mentioned her.

"I'm sorry" I just smile at her.

"While you two argue about your fake names, let me go dish up for the kids but first let me change" I quickly change and go downstairs to check on the kids who were found back in the water.

Everything went perfect, Ira had the most fun and that's all I could possibly ask for, the kids were picked up by their parents and Ira currently was dozed off. Ithan and Kayla are currently watching a movie and well Michale, I don't know where he went off to.

Taking the garbage out after cleaning up, I find him sitting by the car, he looks up from his phone and we just stare at each other. He moves forward slowly.

"Want to go for a drive"
