Flavian’s POV
When we arrived home from the hospital, no one was there, just a note from Lexie saying they had gone out and would be late. After a shower, my little one showed me several times that she was the woman of my life and the only one I should run to. Not that I had any doubts about that - I never did - but I loved it when she took the initiative and dominated me like that.
"Why are you smiling, big guy?" Manu came out of the closet and caught me with that huge smile while sitting in the bedroom armchair.
"Because I can't wipe this smile off my face. It's like you glued it here." I pulled her onto my lap and kissed her.
"Don't start, we have visitors." She laughed.
"You didn't remember that tonight. Are you sure you want to leave the room?" I ran my hand over her breast and she shivered.
"Yes, let's go. It's already late." She quickly got off my lap.
When we reached the dining table, there were three people looking at us grumpily, but Cam was the most sullen of all.
"Hey guys, what happened?" Manu asked, puzzled by the silence. "Didn't you have a good night?"
"No, Manuela, my night was terrible. When we got here tonight, I almost broke down your bedroom door, thinking your boyfriend was killing you." Cam spoke seriously.
"Oh, but he was, honey. Just not in the way you thought, but in the way I showed you. And don't be ungrateful, your night wasn't terrible." Olivia smiled at her husband.
"For God's sake, Oli!" Cam scolded his wife. "She's my little sister, and this pervert is corrupting her."
"In my defense, I'll tell you that she's the pervert." I laughed. Cam looked at Manu, who had her head down, nearly dying of embarrassment.
"Flavian!" Manu called out to scold me.
"Little one, there's no point acting innocent, you're a naughty girl and I love that about you." I pulled her into my arms. "And you, Cam, don't act offended, your sister isn't a child anymore."
"What a bunch of hypocrites!" Lexie laughed. "You get all worked up when I talk about getting a boyfriend. And you, Cam, complaining about them, but your wife was also heard loud and clear tonight. I should have made Rick sleep here, then we'd be three screaming..."
"LEXIE!" I shouted in shock. "What's going on between you and Rick?" I demanded to know, and she burst out laughing along with the others.
"See? Hypocrite!" Lexie pointed at me.
We were still having coffee when the doorbell rang. I went to answer it, and Melissa walked in like a queen.
"I'm here, detective! Where's my Little Key!" Melissa was full of energy as she came in. Behind her, Fred just shrugged.
"Come in, Fred!" I pulled Fred inside and greeted him. "Hey, crazy girl, aren't you going to give me a hug? You take a month-long vacation and don't even miss your friends?"
"Oh, detective, you know I miss my friends." Melissa laughed and hugged me. "Here, this is for you!" Melissa handed me a bag. "Where's Little Key?"
"We're having coffee, come on." I called out and walked with my arm around her. When Melissa looked around the table, I thought she was going to lose it.
