A Crazy Night Novel

Rays of sunlight pierced through the windows and lit up the room.

Christina lay on Nathaniel’s chest, her smooth back littered with red marks from the night before. The warm glow gradually roused her from sleep, and her eyes fluttered open.

Just then, the door opened, and two little figures barged into the room.

“Mommy, Daddy. Are you getting married?” Camila and Lucas muttered as they stared at their parents with wide-eyed innocence.

Needless to say, the duo had no idea what they were looking at. All they knew from playing in school was that family members expressed love by holding hands and hugging one another.

Stunned by the sudden appearance of her children, Christina yanked the blanket over her head, her heart thumping wildly.

The next second, she kicked Nathaniel hard. “Get the kids out! Hurry!”

The latter winced at the pain. My goodness. She sure is strong….

“Lucas, Camila, why are you guys up so early?” he asked calmly.

“Daddy, you’re attending my ballet recital today, aren’t you?” Camila piped up, doe-eyed and adorable as she sported a sequined butterfly pin in her hair. “Ms. Tuffin said I must be there earlier because I’m the principal dancer.”

As soon as Camila stopped her ballet lessons at the kindergarten, Christina enrolled her in an external dance school, where a public performance would be held after every semester.

Upon hearing that, Nathaniel did his best to remain unfazed despite having broken into a cold sweat. “Thank you for the reminder, Camila. I almost forgot about it. Well… Why don’t you guys head downstairs and wait for me? You can grab a candy while you’re at it.”

Unsurprisingly, the children’s eyes lit up at the suggestion. “Okay, Daddy! You and Mommy had better hurry up if you don’t want us to finish all the candy,” Lucas urged before grabbing his sister’s hand and running out of the room.

Once the door was finally shut, Christina heaved a sigh of relief under the blanket.

Argh! That was so embarrassing! I can’t believe the kids caught us in this state. Thank goodness they didn’t see anything too explicit, though. Otherwise, I’d never be able to face them again…..
