Mum to twins but fated to the alpha

Chapter Five

Isabella.

After speaking with Jessica and agreeing to pick up some more information from the hotel desk, I glanced at my mobile phone and realising it was getting late, I called for the boys. As I turned in their direction I suddenly felt like I was being watched. Looking around I spotted someone across the pool, sat at the bar next to another man, he was the most gorgeous man I had ever laid my eyes on. He was tall, taller even than my Marcus. His dark curly locks fell just past his ears, his muscles rippled as he sat there in just a pair of swimming trunks.

As I stood staring at him his eyes moved up to mine and time stood still as even at a distance we stared into each others eyes. I was captivated by his bright blue eyes they were mesmerising, shimmering blue oceans I would gladly be lost in forever. I was shaken from my thoughts as Jack bounded up to me telling me he was hungry. I tore my eyes away from him and smiled down at Jack " How about we head back up to the room and get some room service pizza?" I asked. " I want Pepperoni" he shouted. Jacob shook his head and said " No I just want Cheese and Tomato". " I tell you what" I replied wrapping a towel round each of them. " How about we get both". They both started to jump up and down and I laughed at how much energy they both always seemed to have. We'd just had a long flight and they had spent a few hours in the pool and yet they still didn't seem tired. " Come on let's go" I shot a quick glance back across the pool towards the bar and he was still staring at me. I gulped and turned away. You are married Isabella, I told myself.

The boys were sat in front of the TV, watching cartoons while I scrolled through my phone. I thought that Marcus might have rang to check we had arrived safely, or at the very least sent a text, but so far I hadn't heard from him. As I was debating whether to ring him, there was a knock on the door and I stood and made my way across the cool marble floor. I'd taken my shoes off when we'd got back to the room half an hour earlier. I'd also thrown on a nice flowy maxi dress as I didn't see the point in sitting in the room in my bikini and sarong.

" Room service" a voice called from the other side of door. " Pizza's are here boys" I called over my shoulder, but they were both so engrossed in whatever they were watching they didn't even acknowledge me. I opened the door and smiled at the woman who stood out in the corridor with a trolley next to her. As promised i'd ordered a pizza each, some Fries, 2 smoothies for the boys and a nice bottle of rose for myself. I mean I am on holiday right? I stepped to the side so she could wheel the trolley into the room and saw movement from the corner of my eye in the corridor. I turned and saw the same man from the pool stood with a key card in his hand just down the corridor outside the room adjacent to mine. I gasped and instinctively slammed the door shut. The woman with the trolley jumped at the sudden sound and turned to ask me if everything was OK. I blushed and embarrassed just nodded. She stared at me for a moment with a puzzled expression and then turned back to finish unloading the trolley onto the little coffee table in the living area just in front of the purple chair.

" Enjoy the rest of your evening Mrs Orlain. If you require anything else, please just call down"

" I'll be sure to do that. Thank you very much. The pizza smells delicious"

She walked towards me, pushing the trolley, as I was still stood next to the door I'd slammed a few moments prior. I reached and opened it slowly, peeking out to see if he was still there, but the corridor was empty. I let out a breathe I hadn't even realised I was holding in. She walked past me with a quizzical expression on her face and simply said " Long flights with kids sure do take it out of you". I smiled in response seeing no correct her on the reasons for my strange behaviour.

Half an hour later the pizzas had both been demolished, the fries were gone and the boys were slurping the last few drops of their smoothies through their straws. It might seem like a lot of food to some people, but my two had always had large appetites and it had never caused them to gain too much weight, perhaps as they were always on the go.

I glanced at my bottle of rose and realised I had nearly drank the entire bottle!

" Mummy" Jacob suddenly spoke to me.

" Mikey, one of the boys we were playing in the pool with told us that they are going on a pirate treasure hunt tomorrow."

" Oh really?" I laughed at him.

" Yes, at the beach with the nice people who work at the hotel" Jack chipped in now. I realised they must be talking about one of the kids club activities that Jessica had spoken to me about earlier by the pool.

" Can we go with our new friends?"

" Well what about me? What will I do whilst you're out digging for treasure?"

" You could make some new friends to mammy" Jack said in a cheeky voice. " Ok. you can both go, but only if you go and brush your teeth and get yourselves to bed now". They both dove onto me and engulfed me in a huge hug. "Thankyou mammy. We love you". My heart felt ready to burst. I loved these two boys so much.
