ZOE has spent all day fixing things. In a few days, they will leave PH. She doesn’t want to go back home, but her friend and her mother have told her more than once that she should—time to deal with her problem. Helios was giving her trouble. And she wondered if she should give them a chance.
But Helios will have to work hard to win her heart back. She still needs to be tamed, even if they already have a child. When she goes through with her plans, she can’t have a weak heart.
“Everything all right?” Cindy spoke up. She has her arms crossed and is leaning against the door.
Zo looked up and nodded. She got up and turned to her sleeping daughter.
“Is she asleep again? She was just playing a minute ago,” Cindy said. She went in at last and sat down on the bed.
Zoe is very thankful to Cindy because, ever since Helios left, Cindy has never left her. Even though she likes to tease her, she was glad always to have her on her side. Zoe will be a better person because of all her comforts.
“Babies were greedy for sleep. You won’t know about that until you and Calyx make it for yourselves.”
Cindy took the pillow that was next to her and threw it at her. “Heh! I won’t let that man make me pregnant. Never,” was her answer.
Zoe doesn’t understand why Cindy seems to dislike the guy so much. But she knew that he was her first and even second… and so on. She didn’t know anything else about them.
She gets it if Cindy doesn’t want to talk about it, just like she does. They were identical. They still hide things from each other, but they need to be close.
“I’ll just get pregnant—I mean, find a boyfriend—when you and Helios get married,” she said with a playful smile.
Zoe gave a smile and a nod. “Okay, you just have to wait,” she said with a tone of humor in her voice.
Cindy said, “Come here.” She tapped the side of the bed and motioned for Zoe to join her. “Listen, Zoe; you need to be a bit colder with Helios. Don’t be too easy to hurt. I’m afraid that once you see his long, beautiful shaft, you’ll just open your legs and let him in—”
Cindy was talking badly again, so Zoe smacked her on the head. “I knew that already. I don’t need to be reminded. Also, you were the one who told me to make peace with him.”
Cindy laughed. “I don’t know, and I’m not sure if you knew about it. “Even more so now that daddy Helios looked more handsome and bigger than he did before,” she said as she pulled out her phone.
Zoe’s eyes got big when she saw Cindy’s picture on the phone’s background.
“Where did you get that from?”
Cindy laughed. “Look at those biceps, those shining abs, and those mysterious eyes. His jaw. That is enough to make any girl drool. You’re lucky, you fucked-up vegetable because this man loves you.” She pointed to the phone’s display.
They are looking at the picture of Helios that shows him half-naked. He seems like a model. He is actually a model in that picture.
Zoe wants to know how Cindy got it.
She grabbed Cindy’s phone and asked, “Where did you get this?”
“Secret,” Cindy said with a smile.
“I’m warning you. I won’t let you be the godmother of my child?” Zoe made a threat.
“Fine. I got the pic from Pinterest. Okay? Happy?”
Zoe looked sad. “Why does he have photos on Pinterest?”
Cindy’s eyes rolled. “Well, duh, it was in the magazine—the issue of NYC Magazine that is about the hottest billionaires. And you have no idea about it. Since then, you don’t care about it, right? You’re no longer interested in it. So, don’t ask any questions, and how dare you threaten me?” She answered with a deep sigh.
“Is asking a bad thing? What if you both like him?”
Cindy got to her feet and put her hands on her hips. “Excuse me—”
“Alright, you may pass.”
“Bitch. First, let me finish what I’m saying. Only you own Helios. Even though I’m a woman, I still respect people like your Helios. I also really like his abs. But, and this is a big but, I never liked him or even thought about it. I don’t like him, okay? He belongs to you. If you give me back my phone, I’ll delete it.”
“Alright. In any case, you’ve got Calyx.”
“Heh!” Cindy huffed and turned to leave.
Guilty.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Zoe felt pain when Helios’s voice came back to her again.
This is why she decided to go back to Manhattan. She didn’t want to make things hard for him either. But just because she’s going home doesn’t mean she’ll give up so soon. As planned, she needs to act colder and make Helios work harder to win her back if he really loves her. She will never have another weak heart.
