    I knelt in between her legs and I leaned in to kiss her but she swerved, I tried to chase our lips but she


    was being stubborn.


    "Tracy."


    "Get off me."


    "Why?"


    "Why not?"


    "Because I have a motive."


    "So I am a pushover now? Please get off me or else I''d scream loud enough to wake those kids." I


    don''t know why but that threat made me jump off her like she was hot coal.


    "Don''t wake the kids please."


    "As far as you don''te too close to me." She replied sitting up


    "Tracy, I want you to know I don''t see you as a pushover, not at all, you are just the woman I love, the


    mother of my children."


    "You mean the woman you left."


    "Tracy!"


    "It is not a lie."


    "Well, I have an exnation for that, though it might is very illogical."


    "I don''t need your exnation, please keep it to yourself." She said standing up but I held her hands.


    "Tracy, I understand that you are hurt, I understand, but I want you to know that I love you a million


    times than I loved you when we started courting, I love our children too and I want you to know that I''d


    be there for you, I saw what you were trying to do earlier, you were trying to lift the kids out of the pool


    by yourself even though I was in the pool with you, I want you to know you don''t have to do everything


    by yourself, I''m here now, the kids'' father is here now so we will do everything together." I dropped her


    hands and I grabbed the bag containing the clothes I bought which I left in my room after removing


    mine.


    "Here, I bought it for you and the kids earlier, Incase you need something to change into tomorrow


    morning," I said and she collected it without saying anything, I wanted her to give me anything even if it


    is a good night but she didn''t, she left like that.


    I stood there until I heard the door to the room where the kids were sleeping open and close, then I


    dropped into my bed, I know it is not exactly how I hoped the day would end but then I like the fact that


    there was an improvement.


    I fell asleep and I slept well, Tracy and the kids left early after breakfast.


    I felt it, but I didn''t even have time to convince them to stay because I had lots of documents to work


    on, James came over too.


    "So how is it?"


    "How is what?"


    "Things between you and your wife and kids."


    "Fine."


    "Fine?, Tell me about it."


    "Tracy might still be mad at me, the kids love me but Tracy said not to tell them I''m their father, they


    were herest night, they slept over, I told Tracy to move in with me so that I would be closer to the


    kids but she refused."


    "You did what?, Are you crazy? You think she would have just forgiven you and brought the kids here to


    live with you?, You must be crazy?." He said and I red at him.


    "If you are such a professional in this aspect why don''t you just get married?." I asked and he rolled his


    eyes


    "Coaches don''t y."


    "Are you gay?" I asked and he grinned


    "What do you think?"


    James is crazy, I know him very, if someone is gay between us that would be me, and I''m not gay.


    "Crazy fool."


    "My poor Alex, The past six years of work has killed the little romance in you." He said dramatically


    "Hand me that document."


    "I''ll dly give you tips, you see women are like babies, they need attention, you must pay them


    attention." He said passing me the document.


    He spent over an hour giving me ''tips'', I realized the tips were not as bad as I thought so I decided to


    make good use of them.


    "James, can you prepare me a contract?, I''m nning on buying this house, and I need a good Interior


    designer, I need to design it to my taste."


    "Really?, Okay! I''ll start on the contract and I''ll send the designer''s nameter." He said then rushed out


    of my house, who knew it was so easy to get rid of him.


    That night I slept in the room where Tracy and the kids slept, even though she cleaned up before she


    left, it still smelt like them, I sleptfortably.


    I woke up early the next day and I left for work as soon as I finished my daily routine, Tracy was at work


    already and she brought breakfast, it was blueberry pancakes with blueberries on top.


    "Tracy?" I called and she came closer


    "Sit down," I said and she sat in the chair before me, I took a blueberry and stuffed it in her mouth


    before she could protest.


    "Tastes nice right?" I asked without looking at her because I felt so shy, a whole CEO felt shy!.


    I finished breakfast and she read my schedule to me, there was a meeting at that moment so when we


    were about to leave my office I hugged her and rushed out like a high school girl who just passed a


    love note to her crush.


    I kept at it, following James''s idea, I tucked her hair behind her ear once, opened the door to the


    conference room for her, I didn''t get to hold her hand because she was either walking in front of me or


    behind me, but I apud myself for the effort I was making.


    It was all fine until Tracy''s lunch break, Sam called her and she went downstairs to meet him, and I did


    what I have never done because of ady, I followed her, they entered the coffee shop and they sat


    down.


    They ordered coffee and they keptughing, I didn''t like it at all, I detested it so much that I didn''t know


    when I barged inside the cafe.
