HOPE'S POV

The first day of school wasn't bad except for getting yelled at for no reason, but hopefully,, Mommy will give me some answers for that. Now that I am home I can relax.

"Hopy, can you please get me a snack?" Alle asked me sweetly. She knew I couldn’t resist her.

"Ok kid. What do you want? Apple, banana, yogurt..."

"CANDY!" Alle interrupted.

I laughed.

"No candy, young lady," Mommy said. She always seems to know when Alle asks for candy.

"Ok, ok. Yogurt please."

I handed Alle the yogurt, and we sat at the table together. ”How was your first day at school Alle?" I asked her.

She beamed, "I wasn't afraid to go down the big slide today. All the other girls were afraid and only went down the little slide, and Veronica said she loves me ‘cause I'm a fun girl!"

I smiled at her excitement. "I agree. You are a fun girl."

She nodded and climbed onto my lap and hugged me. "Yup just like you."

I hugged her back.

"Hopy? Are we still going to have a sleepover in your room on Friday?"

"Of course, we are."

She yelled in excitement, "Yay! You bring the candy, and I will pick the movie, ok, hopy?"

I smiled. "I already bought it," I whispered to her.

She ran off to play just as Mommy walked in.

LARISSA'S POV

I sat next to Hope and sighed "You promised her candy? Didn't you?" I shook my head in disbelief .

"How do you always know?" she questioned.

"You will understand someday when you are a mom. By the way, I am letting the candy slide for Friday only because I know it is your special time with Alle."

Hope and Alle had been close from day one. They had been having sleepovers in Hope's room once a month ever since Alle was two years old. Alle always picked a movie, and Hope brought the candy. They would stay up late, and then, Hope let Alle sleep with her in her bed for the night. That's the night Carmen would take me out, and we’d have adults only night.

"Hope? What is your interest in Bella White?" I looked at her.

"I told you I just want to know the girl who yelled at me for no reason."

I knew her better than that. "Hope, I understand that, but what I don't understand is how calm you are being about all of this. Is this more than curiosity? Because if it is, I want you to be careful. Ok? I don't know her family very well yet. Until we do, I want you to take it slowly."

Hope nodded.

"I am proud of you for how you are handling this. But, you are still my baby, and my first priority will always be you and your sister." I took her hand in mine. "You have a big heart. Just like your daddy." Yes, I gave up trying to get her to call Carmen mom. You know what they say. 'if you cant beat them, join them.’ I joined them years ago. "She protects people over her own safety. I see that in you. It is the one thing about you that makes me the most scared and the proudest." I stood up and kissed the top of her head. "How about you get busy on homework. Maybe start that project." I smiled at her.

"Ok Mommy."...

CARMEN'S POV

It was after dinner, and I was finishing up a phone call in my home office.

Hope lightly knocked on the open door, and I waved her to come in.

She just came back from the store with Larissa. She was holding her bag in her hand.

I ended the call with a sigh. "How was shopping?" I asked.

"It was fine. Mommy asked me to tell you she received a call from Grandma and she was needed over there. She said it's not serious, but she would rather take care of it than wait. She took Alle with her."

I smiled at her. "Ok. I think I know what it's about anyway."

Hope stood up. "Oh, Daddy, we got the stuff you asked for. I set it down on the table. I will go get it." As she walked out of the room, she knocked her bag over with her foot.

She didn't seem to notice, so I walked around my desk to pick the stuff up for her. What I saw on the floor made my heart stop. Three pregnancy tests were lying there. My mind began to race. Was Hope pregnant? No, she can't be. But that's not true. It's always possible. What do I do? What do I say? Great! Larissa left me with another thing I am not prepared for. I left the tests on the floor and walked back to my chair.

Hope walked back in and handed me the office stuff I had asked for.

"Uh, thank you, Hope." I said not even looking at her.

"Daddy? Are you ok?"

I stepped out from behind my desk and took her hand and led her over to the couch. "Hope? Is there a guy in your life who you haven't told me about? It's ok if there is. That is your choice. But I would still like to know about him." Mostly so I can kill him. "Remember that you can tell me anything, and I will support you."...

HOPE'S POV

Has my Daddy lost her mind or something? Why would she think there is a guy in my life? Just then, I looked past her and saw the pregnancy tests lying on the floor. Oh, this will be fun.

"Daddy, there is no guy in my life. I would never keep that from you."

Daddy's eyes widened. "ARE YOU TELLING ME SOMEONE RAPED YOU! WHO IS HE?! IM GOING TO KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS!” At that point, Daddy was yelling, and I was rolling on the couch laughing harder than I have ever laughed in my life. Daddy finally noticed and looked at me confused. "Why are you laughing? Being raped and getting pregnant is nothing to laugh at, Hope!"

When I finally stopped laughing and caught my breath, I stood up and walked over to Daddy who was impatiently waiting for an explanation. "Daddy, I'm not pregnant. I have never been with a guy, and I was never raped.”

Daddy went over and picked up the tests. "Then why do you have all of these pregnancy tests?"

I looked at Daddy and said, "They are for a school project for health class."

Daddy let go of the breath she had been holding and started laughing with me. "Oh, honey. Next time you bring pregnancy tests into the house, warn me ok? I think I almost had a heart attack."

I nodded and hugged her.

After that funny conversation with Daddy, I was bored,. So I picked up my guitar and started strumming the tune of “Invincible” by Muse. My electric guitar made beautiful sounds, and I just loved it. Don't get me wrong. I hate music theory, but I love guitar.

"Follow through

Make our dreams come true

Don't give up the fight

You will be all right

‘Cause there's no one like you

In the universe"

I smiled. I remembered how fun it is to sing like this. It just killed my boredom.

"Don't be afraid

What your mind conceals

You should make a stand

Stand up for what you believe

And tonight we can truly say

Together we're invincible"

Mommy walked in and smiled at me. She sat in front of me followed by Daddy and Allesandra. She cleared her throat and smiled wider.

"And during the struggle

They will pull us down

But please, please let's use this chance to

Turn things around

And tonight we can truly say

Together we're invincible"

Mommy started to sing with me.

I smiled at her. Mommy had such a nice and beautiful voice.

Daddy and Allesandra looked at us without even blinking.

"Do it on your own

Makes no difference to me

What you leave behind

What you choose to be

and whatever they say

Your soul's unbreakable"

We repeated the same verse, and I ended it with my little guitar solo.

"Good one, Hope." Mommy complimented me.

I smiled sheepishly. "It would be better with Aunt Cara's Drumming part," I said.

"Okay. Mommy and Daddy are going out now. Remember. No snacks after 10:00P.M..” Mommy kissed Allesandra's head and mine.

"We will be home by midnight." Daddy slid her hands around Mommy's waist. "Don't let Alle eat a lot of sugar before bed." Daddy warned seriously but then laughed.

"Don't worry. Have fun, you two." I waved goodbye.

"Honey, it's a business dinner. It's never fun." Mommy waved at us.

I turned to my little Sister. "It's not Friday yet, so what do you want to do?" I asked her.

"I don't know, Hopy. Are we allowed to go out?"

Mommy didn't say anything about that.

"Let's go out!"

Allesandra jumped excitedly and dragged me to the door. I picked up my keys and opened the door for her...

BELLA'S POV

"ORDER UP!"

I strutted towards the counter and picked up the food. "Cheeseburger with fries and sausages. Have a nice dinner." I said and smiled.

"Aren't you that cheerleader and queen bee at Xander High?" This young man asked me.

"Yes, I am. And unlike you, I work for a living." I smiled and walked towards Tina.

"Rough night?" She gave me a pity smile.

I waved it off. "It's totally fine. Some bastard’s just lucky he's not poor like us."

Tina nodded and leaned back against the wall. "I am tired. I mean we never even got to have a little vacation during winter break. Now that school started, we have to work even more." She released a heavy sigh.

I felt her pain. "I know. We just have too. Unlike these people, we have no income in our families.”

Tina's parents worked as the Cleaners at my sister’s workplace. They were the ones who recommended it to Emma. Tina had 2 sisters and a Brother at home who needed care and money. Bills and more bills to pay. Her parents alone were not enough.

Zara offered for me to work with her parents. But my mom said no. And we were not that Low to accept their offer.

Zara was quite different than the other Elites. She never questioned or acted disgusted when she went to Tina's home. But boy, Tina's parents hated it when Zara was there. I never understood why her parents hated Zara. Probably the same reason I hated the elites. Those rich bitches and bastards destroyed my family after my dad died!

"How many tips did you get ?" Tina asked me.

"Only $3. Man, these people don't even tip well."

Tina chuckled. "I have $2. The rest is in the form of change."

I chuckled. Nowadays, people are getting more and more stingy. We get it. We're just a waitress, but without us, no food would be in front of them. "

Oh great. The rich bitches are eating here."

Tina sighed and picked up the menu.

I looked in her direction and watched the three school bitches from the elites come in. Why do they even go here?

I heard the 'ding' sound and began to pick up the menu. I walked towards the woman, and a little girl just walked in. "Welcome to L'amour. I am Bella, and I will be your waitress. Sit anywhere you want." I looked up to see the school princess. I sighed.

Why? Why do you want to kill me, God? I have enough haters in the world!

She looked up and smiled at me. She bent down and picked the little girl up

" Hi I'm Alle." The little girl greeted me.

I waved at Alle.

Hope walked to a table and put Alle in a chair.

I handed her the menu and walked to the counter to wait for her to call me again. I watched her laughing at Alle, and I wonder. Is that her Sister or something? Or is it her kid?

"Lucky you! You get Hope and little Allesandra."

I looked at Tina confused. "Mother and Daughter?"

Tina laughed and shook her head. "Sisters. That's the family's Gem. She's so sweet."

I was about to respond but The princess raised her hand. I sighed again. I've been sighing a lot today. It must be a habit now. "Yes?" I gave her the best fake smile I can do.

"The specials. And for little Alle, the kids’ special, please. Drinks, hot cocoa for her and lemonade for me." She handed me the menu.

I put on my fake smile and walk to the counter. I gave the Chef the order.

Moments later “Headstrong” by Ashley Tisdale echoed through the restaurant.

"Who the fuck is handling the stereo system tonight?" I asked my Friend.

"I believe it's Jason."

"ORDER UP!"

I picked up the food and walked towards Hope's table.

"Thank you, Bella." Little Alle said.

I must say my heart melts a little from her sweetness. I genuinely smiled at her but not at Hope.

I heard a 'ding' and immediately I went to the counter and gave the two guys their menu.

Their eyes didn't even look at me. They were stuck on my breasts and centre region.

"Sir, my eyes are up here. Not here or here." I said rudely to them.

"Oh mama, we're not interested in those eyes." This one guy said and licked his lips. Disgusting! "We can pay more than this waitressing job can pay you. Work with us. As our balls licker." He high fived his buddy.

My rage reached maximum level now, and I was about to slap these jerks back to the door. But then, I remembered I was still working, and I needed this job. "No thank you. I don't lick balls." I said trying to be calm. I walked back to the counter, and Tina noticed how angry I was

"Rude customer?"

I nodded. This night could not get worse.

I noticed Hope get up and walk to the sink. When she walked back to her table, the same guys who were being jerks to me, whistled at her. Not just that. They even dared to talk loudly to her and ask for her to be their balls licker as well.

Hope leaned into her Sister, and I notice Alle walk towards me and Tina.

"Zara's Girlfriend!" She beamed at Tina.

Tina smiled. "Hey, Alle. Nice to see you again."

"Why are you here?" I asked her.

"Oh, Hopy said I should be here. She wanted to teach those guys some manners. Mommy said everyone who crosses the line should be taught a lesson."

I had no idea what this kid said, but a loud crash startled me. I looked in the direction and saw Hope on top of the guy who was being rude to me. The other guy sat there, speechless. Hope started to punch the guy's face, and her other hand was on his throat squeezing him. He was struggling to move from her grip. The other guy was about to Attack her, but Hope's leg kicked his lower abdomen. He fell to the floor. The guy below her try to reached something to hit her with but, Hope stopped him with a punch to the chest. He stopped struggling and lay there motionless. He was out. The other guy tried to get up from the floor, but Hope reached for a wine bottle and crashed it over his head. He, too, was out cold.

Alle cheered for her Sister and even jumped excitedly.

"That should teach you two to not ask me something degrading again ." She said and fixed her clothes.

Jason and Andre took the guys out from the restaurant and cleaned up the mess. Tina walked Alle to Hope, and she continued to eat like nothing had happened. Tina smiled at me when she walked to the counter.

"Zara misses me." She said and I chuckled. She's really head over heels for that girl.

Hope raised her hand again.

I took the checks and walked to her.

She looked at the check and paid for the food.

"Thank you, Bella," Alle said and let Hope pick her up.

I watched as Hope carried her sister out of the restaurant. I took the money and walk to the cashier.

"I think this is your tip," Brian said. He handed me a $100 bill. My eyes widen. He handed me a tissue. "Read it." He smiled. I took it and read it. "I'm sorry for whatever I did to you at school. Have a good night."

I smiled. Did she just apologise to me?

LARISSA'S POV

The dinner was boring, but Carmen and I just had to go home early. I’d been teasing her a lot, and she needed a release, bad! The perks of having me as a Wife . Haha!

After we made sure the kids were in bed and sleeping, we went to our room and just stripped on our way to the bed. It's been years, and we have a lot of experience by now . "Hmmmmmm..." I hummed while kissing my sexy naked Wife. I could feel Carmen's hand on my back moving up and down. "

It was a good thing our room is so far away from the kids." I chuckled. More like she insisted we had the room on the other side of the house.

I explored her mouth and I could taste the food she ate and the wine we had before all of this happened.

After fifteen years, our love grew even greater.

Her hands worked on my bra and unhooked it swiftly. "Years of practice." She leaned in and kissed my lips again. Her hand was on my breast, and the other was on my butt squeezing lightly.

I moaned in her mouth. "After all these years, you're still that sixteen-year-old goddess I met in school," I said and spread her legs . I moved my head to her centre and start licking her entrance.

"Ahhhhh. Yeaaaa... Work that tongue." She put her hand on my head and let me taste her sweet juice.

I looked up with my tongue still in her core and saw her eyes close completely drunk from the pleasure I was giving her.

"Oh, sweetheart, I never get tired of your tongue in me."

I wiggled it a little bit, and she moaned louder. I pulled back and Attacked her lips so that she could taste herself. I positioned her hips with my free hand and slowly traced her body and insert my finger in her trembling opening.

She released a loud moan in my ear, and it really felt amazing to hear that. It was like ecstasy for me.

I slowly pumped her insides with my finger as she put her hands on my back her nails digging into my skin. It hurt, but it was satisfying.

"Sweetheart, harder..."

Without her being ready, I inserted another finger and pumped into her harder, and her body reacted to it. Her nails dug deeper, and I could hear her breathing go out of sync. I smirked at the thought of me being the reason for all of that.

"Oh god your good. Aahhhhhhhh..."

I pumped harder and watched her expressions from my doings. I could feel her body slightly shake, and that was the sign she's close. I moved my hand to her lower back and lifted her up so that her back rested on the soft headboard. Her eyes opened a little bit. Her cheeks flushed, and sweat started to form on her forehead and neck. With my fingers still inside her, I added another and pumped harder inside. My Long, slender fingers began to feel her walls tightening around them. Her moans became louder, and it was just too sexy for me to not be hornier than I was before. With three hard thrusts, her body began to shake violently, and her moans got louder than ever. She began to put her arms around me for support, and I could feel the liquid of satisfaction begin to pour out of her.

"Oh, baby, did you just squirt?"

She took a deep breath and latched herself to me. "Yes, I did. Sweetheart, you’re just so good... Your fingers are heaven when they meet my vagina..." She said panting. With my fingers still in her, I waited for her to begin to breathe normally.

I slowly pulled out my fingers and licked them seductively in front of her. "Hmmmmm." And I leaned in to kiss her lips again. "How was that for goodnight sex?" I asked her as I pulled away.

She put her hands on my face and kissed my nose. "Best sex ever... This week."

We laughed, and I lay down beside my Wife. I put my arms around her and rested my head on her chest. I could feel her chest move up and down.

"Sweetheart."

I looked up and met her blue orbs. Still mesmerising as ever.

"We checked the kids before we went to the bedroom right?"

I chuckled at her sudden question. "Yes, babe. We did." "Sorry for dragging you to the dinner. I love you."

She kissed my head. I squeezed her body lightly. "I love you, too, baby. And, it's fine. I'm so used to it by now."

We both fell asleep after that simple gesture of love...
