He sighs. "Rackie, I think you have searched for the wrong place," he said. "And you are touching something that you shouldn't touch right now."
The moment he told me that I shouldn't touch whatever I am touching right now, I saw my left hand under his thigh and my right hand over his thigh near his crotch. The moment I realized where my hands are, I try to stand up but I did a very wrong decision because my right hand slipped and accidentally touch his crotch directly within his pants and I felt how it reacted.
"Rackie, don't move any further, please." He said and I am stuck to whatever pose I may be. He held my hand to remove it and stood up. "Well, I have to call Wisdom to thank him and ask him to send my regards to Wolf about these." He said as if nothing happened.
"Are you okay?" I hesitantly ask.
"I will be, don't worry about it. You didn't do anything wrong and I believe my testicles are still intact. You don't need to check if it's okay.'
"Are you sure?" I asked again.
"If I said no, will you take the responsibility?"
"Oh, Master… I am sorry."
He scratches his nape. "See? Then, don't ask again if I'm sure because if I'll answer honestly right now, you have to make sure you are ready to take any action."
"I think I can help?" I don't know what I am saying here and how could I help, I just feel bad for him.
"No, you can't," he said firmly. "I have to go now, I'll just fetch you tomorrow so we can bring home Lily and see the house." He said. "You don't need to worry, I'll be okay, I can manage." He said then kissed my forehead. Before leaving, he kissed the twins and Lily then left the room.
I believe that he'll be a good father to Miracle and Grandeur, seeing how he is to Lily, surely he will do great as a father to our twins. Master isn't hard to love, it's just that I am afraid to commit again. Well, I won't go bankrupt with his looks, with or without a beard I can say he still has the looks. His personality isn't nasty as I am, and his attitude isn't rude as mine. He respects me, he is asking my opinion when it comes to decisions he will make these days, and he loves my family and me so what could I ask for more, right? However, I am broken… and I want to fix myself first so that when I am ready, I can face him without regret, that I can love him wholly and without any doubt, if I do deserve this man. Yet, I hope when I am ready, he isn't tired of waiting. Although I will marry him even without me being whole, I am not marrying him half-heartedly. Yet, I am hoping that when the time I come to walk the aisle, I can say that I am ready to commit, ready to love again, and ready to accept him. I am doing this back and forth with my decision of marrying him, I don't know if it's the right thing. My reason for marrying him right now is because we have children and I want a whole family for them but I am hoping that before our wedding day, my reason would not be just for the sake of the kids but because of love. Love not just as a friend but more as a companion, a life partner, and a better half that I could confidently say to him that I love him and there is no reason for loving him.
The next day, the moment we arrived at River's house. I can see how she is making fun of me. She heard everything that day, she kept teasing me the whole time our stay in her home.
"Rive, stop teasing her, please… you are making it more awkward for me." I heard Master whisper to her.
"Well, she has that reaction that is so cute." River said,
"I know, but please don't push me to the edge wherein I will be in the awkward situation again," Master replied. "Besides, it might trigger something, we have to be careful."
"What kind of trigger is that hmm?"
Master whispers something to River then she behaves and stops teasing me. "Okay, we will be back before dinner to fetch Miracle and Grandeur. Lily promised to accompany her sister and brother."
"Wait, can I take a picture of Lily with the twins? I mean, I want to send it to him, you know."
Master and I look at each other and smile at the same time. "Sure, you can also say that those twins were yours for the time being and see how he will react," I suggested.
Master laughs. "We have a bad idea but I also thought of that, Rive. Just tell him the twins are yours for the time being. I wonder what he will do."
River laughs. "You two are naughty, but I like the idea. Thank you."
While we are driving, I notice that the house he bought was the house that I am dreaming to buy one day. I looked at him with a surprised and disbelief look at the same time he just smiled at me.
"How did you…"
"Well, let's just say that the owner was one of our clients before whom I made happy with my work so, when I was able to save up to finally buy it, he gave me a discount." He said. "Here is the key."
I am mesmerized by the way it was built, it was the house that I described from the outside, when I finally open the house, I couldn't thank him enough.
"You like it?" he asks while grinning at me.
"No!" I replied. "I do love it!" I said.
"You are very much welcome." He said. "River said that she followed the things you wanted, I hope it suits your taste."
"River's skills are too much for me. I love how she decorates."
I am roaming the whole place; Master just follows me wherever I go. "I didn't follow the rooms that you said before, that's the only difference." He said. "I also made sure that it is white so you can paint all you want outside. I added an office with a library set up for you to have all your books there and have a quiet time when you needed a quiet place."
I wasn't able to hold how grateful I am so I run to him and hug him. "Thank you, Terric!"
He hugs me back. "Welcome, all the best to you and the twins," he said. "But don't do that, it was dangerous." He said. "Follow me," he said then held my hand.
I followed him; he stopped and looked at me. "Well, this is the master's room, this will be your room. then, this will be the room of the twins," he said then opened the door of the room of the twins. "I made sure that it will be huge enough for them when they grow up. you can paint the walls if you want." He said then I followed him going out of the room. This will be my room, you can knock anytime."
I look at him with confusion. "What do you mean by this will be your room?"
"Well, when we got married and stay here, I made thought that you might not be comfortable with me in the same room and bed so…"
"We don't need to be separated," I said.
"Are you sure about that?" he asks hesitantly.
"Yes, we can sleep in the same room and bed."
He sighs. "Oh, Rackie!" he hugs me then suddenly he kneels. "I know this is late but I want to have a proper way of asking this." He said as his voice tremble. He sighs again and gets out a small box from his pocket. "Abstract Wrighthood, will you marry me?" he asks while showing me an open small box that has a ring on it. His hands are shaking; he is looking me straight in the eyes anticipating the answer he is waiting for.
I just look at him, shake my head, and try to pull him up but he kept on kneeling and frown a bit. He is stubbornly staying while showing me the open small box. "Master, sorry…"
"Rackie I know it was rude of me to ask you this lat—"
"That's not it, Terric. You have to stand first." I said with concern in my voice.
"You have to answer first." He stubbornly said.
I sigh, "No, yo—"
He stood up and tidied his clothes. He looks down and put back the small box in his pocket. "Rackie, can I propose again?" he asked again. I move forward to make him look at me and I grin at him.
