Raphael POV
“Raphael, what time are we leaving?” - I hear Maria’s voice behind of us and when I look at her she is bright red turning around
“Oh my God, cover yourself, someone could’ve come in” - she says and Olivia giggles walking to baby Mel to check on her and I grab my shirt from the floor and curse for not having buttons anymore.
“You can look” - I say and Maria turns around looking at me with a reprimand look.
“What time are we leaving?”
“In about an hour” - I say while I walk out of the living room to change clothes.
Olivia walks behind me holding Mel in her arms.
She changes her diaper while I change clothes into a pair of black jeans and a grey long sleeve t-shirt. I put on my leather jacket on top while Olivia is changing her tights for a new pair and putting a black cardigan on top.
I pull the luggage out of the bedroom and place all the suitcases near the door.
The driver and a couple of bodyguards start taking everything to the car.
We are taking a seven seater so the airport so we can all fit in the car.
Three car seats and four adults.
I sit Gabe on his car seat while Olivia seats Mel and Maria follows with Mike.
Both Maria and Olivia seat near the babies while I sit in the drivers seat waiting for Alex to arrive with one of my men.
Not long after she arrived and her luggage is placed in the back with ours.
“All ready?” - I ask looking back
“Yes” - Olivia replies and Alex nods her head.
The drive to the private airport was smooth without any problems but I can feel the tension in the car.
Olivia is still not comfortable around Alex specially after she tried to make a move on me.

*FLASHBACK*
“Hey Alex is Gabe ready?” - I ask her while I walk through her front door.
“He is still asleep” - Alex replies and I take a seat on the sofa so I can wait for Gabe to be ready.
Today is one of my days of having him. Alex is not happy with what is happening but she can’t stop me from seeing my son.
“So you want a coffee?” - she asks
“Yes please” - I say
Alex walks into the kitchen and not long after walks out with a coffee for me. Espresso, my favourite.
I sip the coffee and Alex trips spilling her iced tea all over my clothes.
“Shit” - I let out standing up and shaking the ice off of my clothes
“Sorry she says starting to open my jacket and I feel her pulling it out of my shoulders.
“I’ll grab you a napkin” - she says and I untuck my shirt from my pants when Alex arrived with some napkins for me to dry my clothes.
“Do you want a t-shirt to change to?” - she asks
“Do you have anything that would fit me?” - I ask her
“Yes” - she says walking away again so I follow her into her bedroom and she opens one of the drawers and takes out one of my old t-shirts.
“You kept this?” - I say while she hands me the t-shirt and I slip the shirt out of my body.
Alex approaches me and her hands cling to my stomach sending a shiver down my spine of how wrong this feels.
“What are you doing?” - I say to her
“I miss you” - she says placing her lips on my chest giving a kiss.
My hands wrap around her wrists and I push her away.
“What the fuck are you doing?” - I look down into her eyes
“I know you miss me too” - she says
“No I don’t” - I reply
