CHAPTER 24: ZANDER AND I

SHANE

We had fun during our stay in Zander and Shay's place after we woke up the next day. Even had sex because I was really horny. We have been busy during the past days.

We meet the twins already turned one few months ago and last two months Shay gave birth to her boy named Zed.

My kids also had fun with their cousins and Shan has been a good big brother to all of them. I could not believe that I had a son older than them.

Zander and I had been catching up with each other. We never go out but stayed inside their place looking out with our kids. But they have helpers too because my sister cannot intend to do both of them all.

Macy and Shay did the same too separate from us like girls talk thing.

I know they have not been seeing each other for a long time in person only on video cam. They never get the chance to see or bond together after she left the town.

We let them spend their own time alone. We could ever hear them laughing like silly in the kid's room. I remembered how they used to be like that in Shay's room before. I liked how Macy laughing like crazy when they talked about something funny or watched comedy.

Our kids were inside the clear glass room with the two helpers of the twins. It was Zander's design for movie theatre style for their kids and playroom as well. They were watching on the big monitor screen cartoon movies that allowed for his one year plus old twins.

We sat to the balcony lounge chair facing the beautiful view outside.

"You really did an excellent job in business, bro." I spoke. "I still could not believe you marry my sister." I laughed.

He really loves what he does right now. And how they collaborated with my sister as well. I did not really imagine they will end up marrying each other and became my brother in-law.

"And you are going to marry her best friend too." Zander laughed and shaking his head.

Well, who would have thought about me and Macy as well, Shay's best friend. We never thought we will end up with each other's best friend.

Sometimes, I laughed thinking about it. Writing our own stories both with best friend's title.

"What's your plan?" Zander asked, I turned my mind back to the present.

"I let Macy plan all the weddings but she said that she wants it simple. We already have an appointment to the church by Wednesday." I said, drinking my cup of tea. "I do not know when but we will see what the church date available for us."

Yes, since they moved in with us. She suddenly talked about weddings that change her mind. She told me that we are matured enough to handle difficulties when time comes.

Her changeable attitude of fear about us being together became open minded. I know it won't be always lovey dovey thing in a relationship. Especially being married, I know in my heart she is the one for me that I can be for the rest of my life.

"That's nice to know." He spoke. "What about the house? How is it going? I really cannot wait for the final retouch."

"Yeah, it is still going on but hopeful before the wedding date. It will be done so that all of you can use that pool." I smiled thinking about the finishing design I manage to discuss with the contractor.

"Well, I am excited with your design you wish for your kids and adult pool too." He patted my shoulder.

"What about you? Are you planning to move into a home not in a building?" I asked.

"Well, Shay and I talked about it and she said that she like it her on top of the building since she grew up with a house like ours. Besides, if she wished to live that kind of house, she will just move back to your parents place." Zander said laughing.

"Hahaha..."

"But she said that it is good to try a home just like ours. If our kids want somewhere else, we can have vacation in the beach house too."

"I know Shay just want to experience and explore new places and as I can see she enjoys living here in the building." I said, looking outside. Appreciating again the overlooking view.

"When everything will basically do with the designs to the new building. I will plan on putting a rooftop pool for us." he explained.

"I like that idea you have in mind." I gave a thumbs-up sign to Zander.

Shanice walked towards me with the twins behind. They were following her. Of course, the nannies were following them.

"Daddy!" She said excitedly.

She opened her arms wide as I did the same. The twins were imitating her but they went to Zander. I smiled and hugged my daughter. I chuckled as I saw the twins too.

Both Zander and I were laughing. They really idolize Shanice.

"I think they really love your daughter." Zander says.

"Yeah, I can see that." I replied.

We played with the kids for a while. The girls were still talking nonstop. What do we expect? They were separated for so many years. They need to catch up. We never disturb them.

We let our kids play again inside the playroom.

We continued talking about our plans. We never really do these things during high school days. We usually do high school stuffs like partying, hooking up and drinking.

We did act like our age at that time. Now is different, we were thinking about future. Our family and kids' future. To have a good life each one of them.

We now see what our parents did to us when we were younger. I looked at my children. They were older than Zander's kids. Few years from now they will be on their own.

I sighed.
