Chapter 102: Home sweet

The journey to creek island was fun for Simon as he enjoyed the offload of gist from Bridget. She was able to keep him up to date with the Bakery at England, their challenges and success that he already knew about but Bridget insisted that she needed to elaborate more so that he would understand it all a lot better. 

Due to the absence of landing space, the jet made a stop at the outskirts of Creek island where their cars were already waiting for them. From that point, they made their way to the Mansion. Simon's happiness and anticipation was so evident that Bridget couldn't help but notice. She couldn't wait to see Paige, the woman that have stolen Simon's heart and turned him into a lover boy. She thought to herself.

At few minutes past the hour of two in the afternoon, they arrived the mansion. Bruce drove expertly into the compound with the guards standing at various angles and of course Sherman stood waiting for them at the porch. Once Simon and Bridget got down, Sherman rushed down to them alongside some of the maids that helped in unpacking the items they came back with. Bruce was the first to open the booth and picked up his boss's belongings. The rest of the items there belonged to Bridget and was handed over to Sherman to take to the visitor's room downstairs as the room have already been arranged and set aside for Bridget on Simon's order.

"Welcome Boss." Simon said excitedly, beaming from ear to ear.

"Thank you Sherman. How are you? You look bigger. Have you been eating all the food in the Mansion?" Simon asked with a smile.

"No at all sir." Sherman replied returning the smile. "Good afternoon ma." He greeted turning to Bridget. 

"Good afternoon." Bridget replied. "Be careful with my bags please. You don't have to pull it too hard." She told him. Sherman nodded and instead of pulling the bag by the hand, he placed it on his head and left for the visitor's room. 

"Let's go Aunt B." Simon said holding Bridget by the wrist. They stepped inside the house and the first sight that graced his eyes was Paige who just came down to stairs on seeing Bruce take Simon's belongings to his room. 

"You're back." She said smiling happily.

"Come here." Simon said releasing his hold on Bridget's wrist. He took three quick and long strides to meet up with Paige and surprised even himself by lifting her up in a hug. He buried his nose in her curls and sniffed the lavender and coconut oil mixed fragrance. This reminded him how much her missed her.

"Simon, Paige whispered giggling. "There are people here, lots of people actually." She whispered again as she saw Bruce climb down the stairs, Sherman standing at the sitting room door after successfully unpacking Bridget's bag and two of the maids beside the sitting room window. 

Putting her down gently and carefully, he pulled her by the wrist. "Come meet my Aunt." He told her as he gently pulled her along. "Meet my Aunt Bridget, she is my mother's sister." He introduced them.

"Aunt B, meet Paige, my sweetheart." He called sweetly without mincing words or as much as looking at Paige to see her reaction.

"Hello Paige," Bridget called extending her hand for a hand shake 

"Hello ma'am." Paige greeted shaking her hand. "It's really nice meeting you ma." She told Bridget.

" The feeling is mutual." Bridget replied. " I've heard so much about you and I was literally dying to see you honestly." She added.

"Wow! I hope he told you nice stuff really." Paige asked with a shy smile.

"You have no idea." Bridget said and in addition gave Paige a beautiful hug. "Thank you for making him this happy." She whispered to Paige's hearing alone making her blush uncontrollably.
