1300 Words
When they got back to the house, Stella went to take a bubble bath and relax.
Cash prepared some clean linen for her to change into.
He brought her a glass of sparkling wine and her phone.
" Ash, for you." He said.
She spoke with him every day. He was her special confidant.
" My love, how are you?" She asked as she sipped her wine.
He said," Where are you?"
" Mmm. Bathtub." She purred.
" Stella, behave. I need to talk to you about something."
" Okay, what is it my sweet love?"
" Drake got Olivia knocked up. I'm sorry to tell you this, I know you are fond of him." He said.
" I know about this, he was trying to keep her from me, she had a gun.
I know that he wants a paternity test, I don't.
He should take that baby either way, get it away from Olivia, you would make a good daddy Ash."
" Thanks, I love you. I know you are not able to have my baby, but I think you would be a great mother. A MILF." He said.
Stella laughed out loud. " That's why I love you."
Her phone rang, it was Storm.
" Is your twin there now?" She asked.
" Yes." He said.
" Well he's calling, I better talk to him right?" She asked.
" Hell no! You talk to me, he will call back." He said angrily.
Stella texted Storm. "Call you right back."
He sent her a thumbs up.
" Okay, how did your qualifying go for your race?"
" I'm in top ten." He grinned.
She wanted to ask about Storm, but her rule was to make the conversation about the man she was talking to.
" Ash, I'm so proud of you. You are going to win, I just know it."
"Stella, if I win, we are going to Mexico, you and me, all alone." He had a big incentive now.
" Are there nice beaches and cocktails?" she asked.
" Yes, and topless beaches, very private for lovers." He was missing her body. She was his trophy girl.
" I miss you Stella, call you tomorrow, bye." He let her go so she could call Storm back.
Stella called Storm." Hey, how is the beach life?" She asked.
" Not bad, just missing one thing, my beautiful girl." He said.
They talked about his next race. He place second to Ash. He wanted his brother to win for a change.
" Stella, I want to take you to my bed first when you return home, can you consider me?" He asked.
Stella smiled. She looked at her hand it was getting all wrinkled from being in the tub so long.
"Storm, yes, I think it should be you and me on day one then, I love you. Please don't get hurt driving, keep your head in the game." He said he would.
" Stella, I'm sorry for the hell I put you through with all that baby stuff.
I heard...well I heard Drake is going to be a daddy. He got Olivia pregnant, I'm not telling you this to hurt you or make you feel bad.
I just want you to know so you don't go all dark on him, he really needs you, he's been pretty pissy all week."
" Thanks Storm, and take care of Drake, he's going to need all his family, it must be hard for him right now. Bye Storm, I miss you so much."
Stella dunked her head under. She closed her eyes and thought about Drake. She held her breath as she lay under the water, her lungs full of air.
He was very quiet lately. She worried about him working too hard.
Sam called her next.
" My turn." He said, his voice was always so calming, he would make a great radio host.
" Sam, have you learned to surf yet?" She grinned. He did have a surfers body. Strong abs and legs, smooth muscle tone.
" Stella, I have been surfing every day between work and meetings. It's heavenly here. Just missing you love." He said.
" Sam, will you teach me?" She was looking forward to some alone time with Sam.
" Baby, I will teach you anything you want to know, can I have you first when you come home to us?" He really needed her.
" Sam, as soon as Ash and Storm leave for their race series, you and I will run away, all alone."
" I will make arrangements, I mean Drake is basically running everything now, he's very professional, it's work, work, all work with that guy.
Honestly, he needs to concentrate on other things than you and that baby...oh s**t, sorry.
Olivia is pregnant. It wasn't my secret to tell, I'm sorry dear. Please don't hate him."
Stella assured him that she knew about it, but now she was feeling worried that Drake needed her and she couldn't be there for him as she should.
Then she smiled, thinking. "Wow, I'm the not the lonely one, Drake feels all alone now."
Stella got out of the tub after her bath and walked out to Cash.
He was sleeping with his TV remote in his hand still. He looked like a kid, all relaxed in sleep.
She went to the rose garden and took a quiet walk.
Looking up to the night sky, she thought about having a baby of her own to love, she wondered how it would feel to be a mother.
Drake called her just at that moment. "I finally got a minute to call you Stells. I wish you were here.
I live better when you are near me, all of us brothers do.
I spoke with the lawyer, he recommended the DNA testing. I'm not confident that Olivia is having my baby."
" Do you want it to be your baby?" She asked, holding her arm around her middle tightly.
" If it is, I will do the right thing, I'm not the same man I used to be. Stells, I would like to father your children one day. It's not possible, I know."
" Drake, I support you one hundred percent, we go through life together.
You are the only one that can make these decisions though. Maybe you should call your mother, Beth?"
" I can't, I'm not ready." He was upset over the lie about who his father actually was.
" Drake, when you pushed me away the first time, I would have gone to another man, just because of my loneliness isues.
I can't say that your mother is to blame here."
" I did that to you Stella, I knew about your issues with your parents. I did the exact same thing to you. I see your point."
" Well the beautiful thing about life is, we get to find ways to change, forgive, love, be better."
She would continue to try to seduce him away from the money, the family business that he was so attached to.
" Let me sing to you my love." She whispered to him.
" Please, I will close my eyes right here at my desk."He did, he shut out the whole world but her.
" For you, Drake there will be no more crying.
For you.... the sun will be shining...so bright, so bright.
And I feel that when I'm with you.
It's alright, I know it's alright.
To you, I'll give you my world.
To you, I'll never be cold
Because when I'm with you...
It's alright, I know it's alright.
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score.
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before."
