    IN KNOX MARTINS OFFICE


    “Wow! You look perfect!” Mrs ina Martins said in a raised tone as she entered Knox’s office.


    Knox embraced his mom before moving back to the single couch where Eretia sat on. They had canceled their date for that day just to wee Mrs ina but she arrivedte at the agency.


    “Good afternoon ma’am.” Eretia greeted.


    “How are you doing, Eretia?” Mrs ina smiled at her.


    “I am fine.. thank you.” Eretia replied.


    “Well I can see that.. and I was told that you haven’t used the cheque I gave to you.” Mrs ina dropped her expensive handbag on the couch.


    Eretia exchanged nces with Knox Martins. She had almost forgotten that she has a one million dors cheque. She remembered where she dropped it. It was in a handbag in her closet.


    “Actually mom, we nned to visit the bank but we are so tied down with work here.” Knox answered.


    “But it is her money.. and not yours.”  Mrs ina Martins said with a raised eyebrow. “Well.. except.. you guys are together now.” She added quickly.


    Eretia looked at the olddy. “Mom-”


    Mrs ina interrupted her son. “I mean.. you are both in love so what’s stopping you from starting a family together? Believe me, you would make a perfect couple.” Excitement was clear in her tone.


    Knox Martins looked at Eretia. He wanted a life with her but it was impossible. He held her hand in his.


    “We are together.” Knox blurted.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Mrs ina shot them a surprised look. “Eretia, is that true?!” She asked.


    “Yes mom we are dating now. And we had nned to go on a date until you called in that you wanted to see us.” Knox answered before Eretia could say anything.


    “Why didn’t you tell me?” Mrs ina wasn’t happy that she had interrupted their ns. “I would havee around tomorrow.” She said with a frown.


    “I tried telling-”


    “Your first date?” She cuts him off.


    “No.. third.” Knox answered.


    “Oh! I like that son!” Mrs ina pped excitedly.


    Eretia coughed. “Are you okay?” Knox asked.


    “Yes.” Eretia coughed again. “I think I’ll just get water.” She stood up and moved out of the room.


    Mother and son drama! She wanted to be alone. If she stayed a bit longer in there then she would end up crying.


    Mrs ina Martins leaned forward. “Listen son, I suggest you should n to meet her family.”


    She said in a tight whisper.


    Knox cleared his throat. “So we can know the next step to take.” Mrs ina added.


    “What’s the next step after meeting her family?” Knox asked


    “You’ll take her to the altar.” Mrs ina answered.


    “No! Not so fast mom. We are trying to take things slowly. There is  no need to rush.” Knox declined.


    “Well I am sick and tired of staying alone in that mansion. I want grandchildren.” Mrs ina said soberly.


    “How many grand kids do you want?” Knox teased his mom.


    Mrs ina face brightened. “Three.. or four.” She counted her fingers.


    “And you want Eretia to be the mother of my children.” Knox said.


    “Of course!” Mrs ina eximed.


    “Don’t worry, we’ll get married very soon and have children. And then you’ll be a grandma.” Knox smiled.


    Knox Martins wished things would just happen the way he had just said it. He could imagine the smile on his mom’s face at the sight of a baby in her hands.


    “I’ll leave now so you can go on your date.” Mrs ina Martins stood up to leave.

    FRIDAY NIGHT


    “I am so tired.” Eretia said as she pull off her shoes and flopped down on the couch. They just came back from the cinema. Knox walked off to the kitchen and came back some secondter.


    “Well today was so fun!” Knox said as he handed her a ss of water.


    Eretia sat up and collected it.  “Thank you.” She gulped down the whole ss and dropped it on the tray on the table.


    Tomorrow, the fashion runway is taking ce at his agency to show his models to the world and  to promote Ria Robert outfits too.


    “Let us go to bed early so I won’t wake upte tomorrow.” Knox said.


    Eretia nodded in agreement. “Yeah you are right.”  She  stood up and he did the same thing too.


    “Wait.. not so soon my love.” Knox grabbed her upper arm and pulled her to his body. “Well since we would be very busy tomorrow and we might not get to talk to each other so I definitely want an extra ten minutes with you.” He purred into her ears before looking at her.


    Eretia noticed as his eyes did a slow crawl to her lips. She tapped his chest. “I need to rest.” She mumbled.


    Knox rolled his eyes. “Five minutes.” And then he was bending over to kiss her.


    Eretia ced her hands on his chest stopping him halfway to her lips. “I need to go to bed.. alone.”


    Knox stopped and raised his head up. “Did I say anything about going to bed with you?” He furrowed his eyebrows.


    “No.. but you were thinking it.” Eretia used.


    “Was I?”


    Eretia nodded her head slowly. “Well.. it looked like it.”


    “I looked like I was thinking about going to bed with you?!” Knox chuckled.


    How had she gotten into this?! “Yes.” Eretia muttered. And how was she going to get out of it?!


    “Maybe you just thought that was what I was thinking because that’s what you were thinking.”


    Knox said without missing a beat.


    He was right!


    “I.. I.. I.. think.. I’ll just.. say good night.”  Eretia stuttered.


    “Oh..” Knox mouthed.


    Eretia found a smirk on his face when she looked at him. And before she could think of walking away, he covered the gap between them and kissed her.
