Chapter 249: Call my name [2/2]
They probably thought they could save the rest of the food as leftovers for the week. But at the same meal, the Siren's all ate with happiness. Liv in particular cried several times during the banquet.
Lilly and Bella also started serving wine to Earl and Noelle like daughters-in-law. Aki and Jo both acted like older sisters and practically forced Alana and Bless to binge eat. Liv, on the other hand, continued to eat without a care in the world.
While I was enjoying the peace and happiness, Jasmine and Robyn both came to my side. Jasmine suddenly wiped my mouth with a handkerchief. It seemed that my lips were stained with sauce or something.
"Husband, I am not going to say any more because we will be together forever. My love and everything I feel, I will tell you every single day from this day onwards," Jas said with a breathtaking smile.
The black-skinned angel then laid her back to me as she turned around. Jas said nothing more, but I could see that her ears were red from embarrassment. I subconsciously grinned at how adorable she was before Robyn suddenly jumped into my lap.
"Possum, I want that one! Feed me!"
Like a cat, Robyn asked me to feed her a dish I didn't recognize. As I took a morsel of the meat, I moved the fork toward my woman.
Robyn took the bite and chewed happily, then leaned closer and whispered in my ear.
"Possum. I am sorry that I am not like the others. I am like an ankle bitter and have little to offer, but if you still want me around, kiss me. Right here, right now."
Wordlessly, I shared a brief and passionate kiss with my Australian lover. Robyn took my hand in hers and whispered in a voice only I could hear.
"Possum, what do I do? My chest feels like it is going to burst. Is it okay to be this happy? Are you sure you are okay with me? I might cling to you so much that you hate me."
I replied in the most affectionate voice I could muster.
"I don't mind Robyn. You are my Shiela, you can cling to me until you are satisfied."
"Oh? Are you learning to talk like an Aussie?"
"I am, I want to know everything about you. About all of you."
"But what if you don't like what you hear? I have killed many people, John."
Then I hugged her with both arms in a bear hug.
"Robyn. I love you, will you stop loving me if I kill people?"
"Possum, you know this is different. I.."
"Shh. That goes for all of you. I don't care what you did before or why. That is what made you all who you are. As your man, I will shoulder all your sins from now on.
"Robyn, you are more important to me than anyone you have killed. If heaven decides to punish you for that. I will endure it with you."
My little Australian suddenly cried while smiling heartily.
"Possum, you are a bogan and a slag. How can you give me so much happiness?"
"There, there, my missus. I will make you feel like this every day. This is what it means to be mine."
"Fuck, I might get addicted to this, possum."
"That's okay. I am yours after all."
Robyn began to whimper in my arms as she continued to cry silently. Her arms held my right arm to her chest like a lifeline. Jas suddenly took my other arm and held it to her chest as well.
"Husband, why are you so good with words? Do you flirt like this all the time? It's suspicious."
Jasmine adorably tried to question me, and if not for her bright red ears, I might have believed the bullshit she kept spitting out. In response, I kissed her head and intertwined my hand with hers.
"I've never tried to charm anyone before, Wifey. I am not even trying now. Everything I just said was how I really felt."
"Husband, if you talk like that to everyone, who knows how many women will fall for you? Just fighting the Sirens is exhausting. I won't forgive you if you cheat!"
"Possum, Jasmine is right. You are forbidden to seduce other Sheila's like this. I will bust your balls if you seduce anyone else."
As the two girls in my arms continued to threaten me, all I could see at the moment was how adorable they were. I didn't reply at that point and just smiled as I held on to their hands tightly.
The effect was immediate as they both calmed down immediately.
"Husband, this is unfair."
"Jas, Possum will have us eating out of his hand like this."
"Indeed. We must think of countermeasures."
The other Sirens all watched with envy, as if they had noticed the mood between Jas, Robyn and me. My family, aware of the situation, all tried to calm Lilly, Bella, Jo and Aki.
Maybe because of the rising tension, Noelle raised a paper cup and made an announcement.
"Well, this dinner was to officially welcome my new daughters into our family. But it also serves as a double celebration! Dipshit, since you usually disappear when your birthday comes around, this also serves as a birthday party in advance!"
Alana and Bless then came out with a cheesecake from one of the local bakeries. The Sirens, realizing this, all started singing "Happy Birthday" as my sisters brought the cake to me.
I actually loathed birthdays.
They were something created by corporate capitalism to sell shit. For single guys like me, they were just a reminder of how alone we were. I stopped celebrating them when I moved to Tempe.
Maybe because it had been so long since I felt truly happy to be alive, my tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. Everyone who noticed smiled broadly as they continued to sing Happy Birthday.
I was so overwhelmed with genuine happiness that I couldn't stop shedding tears.
If last year I spent my birthday at work, now I was celebrating with my family and Kindred. Both groups truly loved me from the bottom of their hearts. When the song ended, everyone waited for me to say a few words.
Unable to muster any response, I used my sleeve to wipe away my tears.
Then Earl said, "John, make a wish and blow out your candles.
"I don't have to. All my dreams have already come true," I said with a heartfelt smile.
