Chapter 112 - 109
The sun has risen and Justin's eyes were wide open as he stared blankly at the white ceiling.
His naked body filled with hickeys and bite marks was under the blanket.
He couldn't seem to process what happened between them last night. It was as if everything was just a dream to him, but that wasn't the case at all.
As soon as he woke up, he felt like a cold bucket of water filled with ice was poured on his head.
The steamy night they shared with each other after Tristan marked him kept playing inside his head continuously, making him feel more and more embarrassed as every second goes by.
'Is this really happening? Am I not dreaming?' Justin thought as he spaced out. 'What am I gonna do once I go back home? How am I gonna explain things to the twins? More importantly, shouldn't I head back right now?' he thought.
He turned his head and saw Tristan who was sleeping peacefully next to him. His sleeping face looked so calm and gentle, very different from what he usually shows to the employees at the company.
'I should just text Jamie, for now, to get the kids ready for school. I really have to pay her double for the trouble I caused her, haaa...' Justin thought as he sat up and got off the bed.
He walked towards his pants that were on the floor and took his phone from its pocket to text Jamie.
As he was texting her, he heard the bed creak, making him turn his head to see if Tristan had already woken up.
"Oh, you're awake," Justin smiled as he lowered his phone.
Tristan stared at him with wide eyes. He couldn't believe that Justin was really inside his room and what happened last night wasn't just a dream or an imagination.
"Good morning. I don't think I can stay here for breakfast because I still have to bring the kids to school. Would it be alright if I take a quick shower?" Justin said as he walked to the bed and sat, completely naked. He put the blanket over the lower part of his body so as to not wake the beast who devoured him last night.
Tristan still stared at him, unable to hear what he was saying. He was so shocked that the scenario he dreamed of for five long years was finally happening again.
What's more is that he has already marked Justin and they've already formed a bond with each other, meaning that their relationship is already for all eternity.
"Are you alright?" Justin said as he sat on the bed and looked at Tristan with worried eyes. "Is that really you? Or am I just hallucinating?" Tristan asked as he stretched his arm, trying to reach for Justin's face.
"What are you talking about? Who else would I be?" Justin chuckled as he felt Tristan's warm hand on his cheek. The alpha's eyes sparkled with joy as he finally got a confirmation that Justin was really there and that he wasn't hallucinating.
Tristan leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Justin as he rested his head on the omega's shoulders.
"We bonded yesterday, right? We're mates now, right?" he whispered as he lifted his head a little to see Justin's nape.
"Yes, we bonded and we're mates," Justin giggled as he hugged him back, finding Tristan's reacting cute.
The alpha couldn't help but giggle like an idiot as he saw the bite mark on Justin's nape. His heart fluttered from his omega's response to what he asked, making his cheeks and ears turn bright red.
"I love you so much," Tristan said as he placed a soft kiss on Justin's neck. "I love you, too," Justin said shyly as he tried his hardest not to cringe or blush from saying those words.
It has been quite a long since the last time he said such words to someone else aside from his children and his family. There was no way he could say it back to Tristan with a straight face.
"But I really have to shower now. I have to go back home and bring the kids to school. They haven't seen me at all last night, so they might be worried," Justin said as he patted Tristan's back.
"Can't we just go together? I want to see them, too," Tristan said as he broke off from the hug and held Justin's hands. The omega shook his head and said, "I have to prepare them mentally and emotionally first. It will definitely come as a shock to them if I suddenly came home and introduced their dad to them."
Tristan pouted, realizing that Justin has a point.
The twins were still very young, so they might not be able to understand it completely and may even react negatively to the sudden appearance of their father who never showed his face since they were born.
They are children who have never known what their father looked like. Heck, they don't even know what their father's name is.
"Okay... You do have a point," Tristan said as he smiled at his mate. "Just tell me whenever you want to introduce us to each other. I'll make sure to be there, anytime, anywhere," he continued.
"You're crazy. What do you mean anytime, anywhere? I know you're very busy at work," Justin chuckled as he shook his head, finding it ridiculous.
"No, really! I'll definitely come. It's our children, after all," Tristan said with a gentle and happy look on his face.
Justin smiled, finding it adorable how Tristan. He looked so determined to meet his children.
He really wanted to meet the twins today, but Justin didn't want to. Of course, he knew that Justin proved his point why he can't meet them yet, but he feels kind of sad.
"By the way... You keep saying 'children'. Are they twins?" Tristan asked, a bit confused. Justin suddenly laughed, finding it stupid how he's never mentioned to Tristan that their children are twins.
Justin nodded and said, "Yeah, they are." Tristan's eyes sparkled from hearing what Justin said and got even more intrigued as to what they're like. "Do you wanna see their photos?" Justin asked as he smiled at Tristan, wanting to show off how cute the twins are.
Tristan immediately nodded and Justin clicked to the power button of his phone to turn it on. He checked the time quickly before going to the gallery and saw that there was still an hour and a half left until the time he needs to get home.
He then went to the gallery and scrolled down to look for the twins' album on his phone. He then clicked it and gave his phone to Tristan for him to see it more clearly.
As soon as Tristan saw their photos, his heart immediately melted. He was too overwhelmed with happiness that he could almost feel himself cry.
"That little boy's name is Chester, and that little girl's name is Chesca," Justin said as he leaned in to look at the photos too.
The little boy had jet black hair, the same as Justin's. He was smiling brightly as he looked at the camera. He has green eyes that were shaped into a crescent as he smiled, has a high nose, reddish lips that have a thicker lower lip, and rosy chubby cheeks. The most noticeable feature in his face was his deep-set of dimples on his cheeks.
He looked a lot like Tristan.
The little girl has wavy light brown hair that was the same as Tristan's. She has cat-like icy blue eyes, a small narrow nose, heart-shaped reddish lips, and rosy chubby cheeks. She also has a deep set of dimples just like Chester and looked a lot like Justin.
Tristan felt mad at himself again for not being there for Justin and for not being able to see his children grow up, but his happiness was greater than his anger.
He felt so happy that he couldn't stop himself from smiling from ear to ear.
"They're really smart kids. There was once when..." Justin told Tristan some stories about the twins and the alpha listened to him attentively, very interested in the children.
"Now that you've already seen them, I think it's really time for me to shower and leave. I really have to bring them to school," Justin chuckled and stood up. "I'll drive you home. Just drive. I promise I won't do anything else," Tristan said as his eyes followed Justin.
Justin stared at Tristan and saw how much he wanted to at least take a look at the twins for a while. His chest tightened from Tristan's puppy-like cuteness and couldn't help but agree to what the alpha wanted.
"Okay, fine. Just that, hmm?" Justin giggled. Tristan's face brightened as he smiled. "Let's shower together to finish more quickly," the alpha said as he stood up with a smile on his face. He clearly had other motives, so Justin immediately ran to the bathroom and locked the doors.
"Save that for next time. I'll be quick so we'll get to leave early," Justin chuckled while he's inside the bathroom.
"Bummer," Tristan mumbled as he pouted.
