Not your typical baby mama

Zach was all smiles as he mentally read the message over and over again. His smile grew wider with each passing moment. 'Finally!' he raised his fist in the air as a sign of victory. He wanted to scream or jump straight out of the roof. That's how happy he was. He wished he could hear her say his name again, sigh. Then, he remembered his lady was probably waiting for a reply, so he straightened his back and composed a response.

Ahismine@***.com: Nothing could be more important than gaining your attention.

He hit the send button and remained unmoving. He still felt uneasy about whether she would respond or not. To his delight, she responded right away.

Ajtlh@***.com: And you've got it. What do you want?

What did he want? He wanted to feel her soft body in his arms, he wanted to see how her eyes sparkle when she smiles, to hear her enchanting laugh, to kiss her; everything he wanted came down to her. A sad smile graced his features as he typed his response.

Ahismine@***.com: You.

His heart thudded in anticipation. 'How would she react?' Knowing the reason she was avoiding him, he could not help but feel anxious about her response. His heart seemed to stop when he heard the familiar email notification both on his phone and computer.

Ajtlh@***.com: Zachery, so this is how you choose to spend your working hours? Being the chairman of such a successful corporation, I expect you to be more hardworking than anyone else. Nobody likes a slacker.

Zachery fell into a laugh when he read the message. If people knew that this little woman called this workaholic a slacker, they would surely think Amy was crazy. But Zach was not irritated, if anything, he found her response amusing. 'Is this how men feel when they are scolded by their wives?' he thought in amusement.

"She's too cute", he muttered while smiling. He heard a knock before the door was pushed open.

"Hey bro", Xavier shouted as he walked to Zach's liquor cabinet. Zach gave a non-committal response as he kept his eyes glued to the monitor. Xavier was used to Zach being distracted with work. He walked over to a liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink but he suddenly paused his movements and looked in his brother's direction with a curious face.

'Did I imagine it?' he mused. Why would his ice berg of a brother smile all of a sudden?

He didn't realize that the smile he saw when he walked in was real. With a shrug, Xavier poured himself a drink and went to settle on one of the sofas. The man had his own liquor cabinet but there was just something about using or taking his brother's things. All siblings share this sentiment.

He started to feel warm and loosened his tie. "Is the AC broken? Zach?"

He looked over and Zach was still glued to the monitor. Not wanting to disturb him, he started looking around the room for the little remote. How was his brother working with the heat? Perhaps he was too lazy to change the room temperature. After all, the weather had been in between hot and cold. 'Where's the damn thing?' He thought in irritation when he heard something rare. He looked over to make sure he was not imagining things. Zach..... was actually laughing.

Ahismine@***. com: Alright, I won't slack anymore. But, you still haven't told me your thoughts on what I asked earlier.

Ajtlh@***.com: Do I have to answer everything?

Ahismine@***.com: Only what you feel is important.

"Did something good happen?" Xavier asked taking note of the serene look on Zach's face. With his drink in hand, he stood up and made to go check what had lifted up his brother's spirits like so. What could be so intriguing? But before he could get a step further, Zach suddenly stood up and turned off his computer before throwing on his jacket.

"How about some Chinese food for lunch", Zach announced with a little more enthusiasm. This was a rare sight for Xavier.

'How hungry is he?' he mused. Then he saw Zach lift something from his mahogany desk. It was the AC remote which he used to turn down the temperature.

"..."

'He had it the whole time?' Xavier glared at his brother who in turn arched a brow in challenge. Xavier couldn't stay angry for long when his stomach growled. So the two brothers left Zach's office with his bodyguards creating a protective arc around them.

"By the way, mom called to ask when you'd be back from West Village. I am so sure that woman is planning something", Xavier said as the two stepped into the elevator. Zach was silent, he didn't dwell much on it after his woman put him in a good mood.
