The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 36

Tracy

I felt very comfortable in Alex's arm, so comfortable that I fell asleep in no time, he didn't promise me anything, he didn't do anything either, all we did was sleep all night.

I woke up the next morning still in his arms, and honestly, I didn't want to move, I wanted to stay there, but I knew I shouldn't stay, it was hard but I tried to roll away from his warmth.

I was shocked when he pulled me back and hugged me closer, I didn't even know he was awake.

"Alex?"

"Hmm?"

"Let go"

"No, let's stay like this for a while." He said his voice sounding husky, It was sending different sensations down to my stomach

"I have to prepare the kids for school."

"No, they are not going to school, remember?"

"Oh, that's true, I have to call their teacher," I said trying to move away but he pulled me back.

"Just five more minutes, please."

I couldn't say no, we were like that for over five minutes, and I can't lie I enjoyed it, but I know I have to make breakfast.

"Five minutes is up," I said and he groaned.

"I love you Tracy, and I'm willing to wait, I'm willing whenever you are ready." He put something in my hand then left the room when I checked what it is, I found out he gave me back my wedding band, I felt like crying at that moment.

I stood up from the bed, I said my prayers then I kept the wedding band in the drawer.

I helped the kids take their baths then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast, I made coffee first then I started on a simple breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup.

Alex's father came downstairs when I was halfway through.

"Good morning sir."

"Good morning."

"Would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Sure." He replied then cleared his throat.

He came into the kitchen and I gave him a cup of coffee

"Would you like sugar or milk with that?" I asked moving to get the sugar but he shook his head.

"No, this is just fine." He said, he cleared his throat then mumbled a thank you, I almost chuckled but then I nodded instead.

He left the kitchen the kitchen for God knows where, while I finished breakfast, I set the table then I called everyone to come to the dining room.

We all had breakfast then when we finished breakfast, my father-in-law took the kids to the sitting room while Alex helped me clean up.

"You are right Tracy," Alex said breaking the silence as we washed the dishes.

"About?"

"About my father, he can be very soft, but I've judged him so much that whenever I look at him, I see the conclusion I made on him."

"It is not too late, try to be nicer to him, he is getting old," I said and he nodded

My phone rang at that moment and Alex told me to leave the rest of the dishes to him, I checked the caller ID to see it was Tiana

"Hey, Tiana."

I ran my hand through my hair, then I caught Alex staring at me, his mouth slightly open.

"What?" I mouthed and his eyes moved to my hand, I realized he was staring at the wedding ring.

He gestured upstairs towards my room, then he went upstairs, I followed a few minutes later.

"Tracy, what are you trying to tell me?" He asked the moment I entered.

"Trying to tell you?"

"Don't act like you don't understand what I'm talking about please, earlier you flirted with me, and minutes later you are wearing your wedding ring, tell me what you are trying to tell me, Tracy Johnson."

"And what do you think I'm trying to tell you?"

"That we are good?"

"Yup"

"Completely good?"

"Yes, my love."

"You've forgiven me?"

"Yes sweetie"

"This is not some kind of show for my dad, is it?"

"No, it is not daddy."

"Sweet." He said right before his lips met my mine, he didn't try to be gentle, he went hard making me struggle to catch up, I giggled as he lifted me.

"Let daddy show you what he can do."
