Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

Lacey's POV

Can Task you all a question and get an honest answer?

Ama bad mom and wife?

Ifeel like I've done so much good as a parent but I also feel like I've done a lot of bad as well

I mean, I've always made sure my children were clean, I always made sure they were healthy, I made sure they had a beautiful home to live

in and that their residence was secure by making that home ours

I always made sure my fridge was fully stocked, I made sure they had the best clothes money can buy and I always made sure they got what

they wanted or asked for without spoiling them, yet for some reason, I feel like I've failed them majorly

One of the things I felt blessed for having when I was growing up was my family

Thad two incredible grandparents, two amazing parents and three fabulous big brothers, we may not have been a big family but we were a

family and I loved them dearly but my kids didn't have that because of me

I'stole their aunties and uncles, their cousins, their grandparents and great-grandparents from them but worst of all, I stole their father from

them

My children missed out on five years with their father but worst of all, Logan missed out on a hell of a lot more

He missed out on my entire pregnancy and experiencing it with me,

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion. ba

he missed out on their birth, he missed all of their firsts, as well as all of the incredible things that I got to experience with them as their

mom and these are things that can't be replicated or replaced

just feel like a nasty, evil monster

So, answer me honestly, am I an awful mother and wife? and also, does the guilt of keeping your kids from their father ever ease up or go

away?

The only reason I ask is because right now, I'm watching Logan Junior, Dayton and Teddy hanging out with their cousins Melissa, Justin and

Sabrina's daughter Emily and Liam's daughter Jade and they're all getting on like a house on fire

It's almost like they've known each other for the entirety of their young short lives and are BFF's

Speaking of BFFs

“Damn, look at that ass, wait... recognise that thing"

“You should considering you always walked in on me when I was getting dressed”

I'say with a smirk as I turn around and face my gorgeous best friend who is dressed in a sexy, silver, mermaid-style, floor-length gown

“Hey, Carmella”

“Hey, girl"

Carmella says while wiggling her fingers at me in a little wave

I didn't waste any time in hugging my girl because I've missed her like crazy

We've talked on the phone and we've texted and facetimed with each other every single day, sometimes numerous times a day depending

on the time but there's nothing like seeing your loved ones in person

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

“God, I've missed you, Carm" "T've missed you too, love" She squeezes me a little before letting go and pulling away

Carmella then looked me up and down with a happy and satisfied

expression on her face

"Why are you looking at me like that, Carm?"

Task and she shrugs her shoulders

“You just look so happy and relaxed, that's all, you look...peaceful”

She says and I smile

“That's because I am..I'm very happy, Carm"

“And you're glowing as well..does that mean Logan has been giving you a daily dose of his anaconda?"

Carmella says while wiggling her eyebrows at me and I roll my eyes

“Don't start with the song lyrics again, Carm because I swear, I'l kick your ass if you do”

“You wouldn't do that, while you're dressed so classy, Lacey Lace"

“Actually, would so try me"

I'say and we both chuckle

“Why do you look like you're on edge anyway? you haven't run into dickface Dylan, have you? no pun intended"

She says and I chuckle

“Yeah, I have but I don't really wanna talk about him"

I groaned in annoyance

It's amazing how someone can go from being your whole world one day to being a major freaking thorn in your side

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

“Anyway, what about you? why do you look like you're hiding from the mob?"

Task as I chuckled slightly

“That's because I am"

Carmella said as she looked around the grand hall

Oh god

"Who've you pissed off now?"

Task as let out a bored sigh

Carmella loves to dance on the edge of danger and tango with bad guys

Twouldn't be surprised if she's pissed off the biggest and nastiest dog

in the yard because that's my bestie for you, she loves to live on the edge and piss people off

“I haven't pissed anyone off..I'm just hiding from my lover boy” She says whilst mumbling the last part so I couldn't make it out

“What are you doing, Carm?”

“I'm erm..I'm hiding from my lover"

Huh

“You're hiding from Danny Glover?"

Task confused and she looks at me with a really b***h? expression

“No, I'm hiding from my lover"

She says perfectly clear this time

“Your lover? wait, your lo..oh my god" I gasped loudly

"Are you seeing someone?"

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

“Yes 1am, gobby"

Carmella growled in annoyance as she looked around and glared at the few people whose attention I had caught

“Oh my god, who is it? what's his name? what does he do for a living? what's he like? wait, is it that guy Jamal with the really adorable

Jamaican accent?”

Ifired off question after question feeling very eager to replace out who my best friend's mystery man is

“No, he's married, remember? he married Daphne about a year after we broke up"

“Oh yeah...that's a shame because he was cute" "Yeah, he was"

Carmella said looking a little sad but also like she was happy for him as well which I know she was

“So, who's your mystery lover then?" I ask and she sighs in defeat

“Ok fine, I'l tell you...he's one of the PAs for a really rich and powerful billionaire who just so happened to get married recently”

She said with a look on her face like she was waiting for me to click on straight away but the penny didn't drop until it was too late and my

best friend was embraced from behind by her mystery lover

“Oh my god...oh my god, Cade, you're..you guys are..oh my god" I said in shock as the couple smiled at me

“Nice one, jackass, you've made my best friend malfunction”

Carmella said whilst tapping Cade on the side of his head as he smirked at her

"Wait so, you're the girlfriend Logan told me about?"

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

Task and the pair look at me with angry expressions

“Logan told you about us?" Carmella asks with annoyance in her tone

“Yeah and no...he thought I had a crush on Cade because I asked him how he was doing and the jealous, possessive asshole told me that he

was happy with his girlfriend but he never said who that girlfriend was"

Isay whilst rolling my eyes and they both chuckle while a deep groan is heard in my ear

“What did you just call me, my love?" Oh god, that voice

“I called you my loveable and adorable husband, babe"

us now and continue your journey!

I'say with a smile as I look up at my man and he chuckles as he kisses my forehead

“No, you didn't but I'l let it go...for now"

Oh, brother

“To be fair to Logan, Lace, he never knew who I was dating” Cade said frustrating me

“But why would you hide your relationship in the first place you weirdos?"

I growled and they all chuckled

“Well, I never told you because I didn't know how you'd react”

“And I never told him because he's my boss and my personal life is none of his business”

Cade says sassily causing myself and Carmella to chuckle while Logan narrowed his eyes at him

“You're not funny, asshole”

“On the contrary brother, I'm very funny, how do you think I landed

this beauty here?"

Cade said as he kissed Carmella's temple

“Well, it's certainly not because of your brain or your d**k size,

Cade"

me

her

Logan said offending the couple

“Hey, I'l have you know he's got a very large...”

“Carmella”

I growled interrupting her

“Nobody asked and nobody's interested"

"What? I was just gonna say he's got a very large brain, that's all" Hmm, I bet you were

Ithought to myself as three adorable voices screamed from behind

"Auntie Carmella”

The triplets shouted as they all ran over to their auntie and embraced

“There's my little Monsters Inc, I was wondering when you all would

join us”

"We were busy with our cousins, auntie Carm" "Really? and what are your cousins like?"

Carmella asks my babies but what Dayton said next hurt my heart a

little

“They're really nice even though their daddies aren't”

“Yeah, one of our cousin's daddy's hurt our dad but I stopped him like

a big boy because no one is allowed to hurt our mum or dad”

Logan Junior says shocking his auntie who looked up at me with a

what the f**k? expression

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion. Y "Dad?..h.he's calling Logan dad now? when did this happen?”

“He said it earlier on, it shocked the hell out of us when he said it as well"

I've been filling Carmella in on everything that's been happening ever since Logan showed up in my life again

She's been like a therapist to me, especially with things like Logan Junior's reluctance to calling Logan his dad

Carmella made the valid point that it was probably a trust issue and Logan Junior just needed some time to learn to trust his father before

saying it but it doesn't mean she's not entitled to feel shocked to hear him

finally say it just like we were

"What's wrong with Junior calling Logan dad if that's what he is, babe?"

“It's complicated”

Carmella and I say at the same time stumping Cade in the process

"Auntie Carm, who's that man?”

Teddy asks her auntie who smiles happily and proudly at the handsome man next to her

“This is my boyfriend Cade”

“You were at our mummy and daddy's wedding, weren't you?" Teddy asks and Cade smiles at her

“Yes, [ was"

“Does that mean you're our uncle now?"

“Duh Teddy, what do you think? he's auntie Cam's boyfriend and dad's friend"

Dayton said while rolling his eyes

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion. ba

“Do you and uncle Cade want to come and meet our cousins, auntie Carmella?"

Teddy asks and I didn't miss the love in Cade’s eyes as he looked at my brood

“Of course, come on"

Carmella and Cade leave with the triplets leaving Logan and me alone

“So...1 heard you had a very heated discussion with GiGi earlier?"

Logan asked me as soon as we were alone

“Yes, I did"

"What was it about?"

He asks with a stern expression on his face

“Oh I was just marking my territory by giving her a little warning, that's all"

Isaid with a wave of my hand like it wasn't a big deal which it's not

“Really?...what did you say to her?"

Tlook up at Logan and smile

“Ijust simply told her that we're married and you're mine and that if she ever messed with me or us for that matter then she'd meet the

worst side of me, I'm not someone you wanna mess with when it comes to the ones I love, babe..I'm a very territorial woman when it comes

to you and our family, Logan"

Isay and he throws his head back while laughing

Logan then wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his face in my neck as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and sighed in

contentment

Chapter 50 - BFF Reunion

/ love being in his arms

“I love it when you get territorial, baby even in circumstances like this where you've got nothing to worry about”

“I know, babe and I trust you, I promise you I do, Ijust don't trust her”

I'say with a slight grow!

“Well, neither do I now after this little stunt she tried to pull with my dad"

Logan said as he lifted his head out of my neck and looked down at me

“I'll never do anything to hurt you or break your heart, baby"

“I know you won't because I'l cut your balls off and wear them as

trophy earrings if you do”

Isaid being serious

“I know you will, love”

Logan said with a chuckle as he leaned in and kissed me

Idon't know why he replaces this so amusing because I'm being dead ass

serious

Lacey Black is not a woman to be messed with and you shouldn't take meas a joke either, I may look like a weak and fragile little girl to

some but I'm stronger than you think

Go ahead and try me GiGi and I'll show the world your real face when

you do
