KAMAU- jusfayu
After two hours of getting the twins dressed they proceeded to drop them off at their grandparents
before going to court, but their constant crying and begging to go with them changed their father's
mind. "I can't say no to my two princesses" Gianni said starting the car, but also getting both twins to
smile wide loving the compliment.
"I can" Beau said gaining both his sisters to stick their tongue at him and fold their arms. He simply
glared at them through the mirror knowing he would have to watch them.
The Starlings waited outside of the courtroom for when Gianni would appear and when he did Haven
became confused as to why Beau was with him holding a little girl in his arms and another walking
beside him holding his hand. "Ah good morning Haven" Gianni greeted with a thick accent happily to be
doing a case in so long, he shook her father's hand and kissed her mother on the cheek.
"Uh good morning" Haven replied glancing at Beau's unreadable expression and going back to making
eye contact with Gianni once more. "Haven why don't you sit with my boy here" Gianni patted his son's
shoulder as Haven's eyes trailed over to Beau once again and could see the resemblance between his
father and him. The golden locks that were tied at the back of the head, the strong yet soft jaw
structure, not to mention the silver eyes that pierced through.
"I have to go over a couple for things with your parents, and you do remember what we covered the
other day?" He asked referring to the case. Haven nodded "Of course"
"Good will call you soon, you have nothing to worry about that son of a-" Gianni then remembered his
two little girls were near and could here him, he simply smiled walking off with her parents.
Beau turned around walking towards the nearest bench to sit down while practically having to pry
Angelina off of him and sit her down on the bench while Angelica helped herself to take a seat next to
them. Beau turned in Haven's direction "Come here" He said in a soft yet demanding tone.
She quickly gathered herself from slight shock and followed to sit on the bench beside them. "Gianni's
your father?" She questioned still confused. "Uh yah I- I sort of asked him to take your case" Haven
frowned her brows while her eyes wondered around them searching for an answer as to why he would
make such a request.
"Why would you do that you don't owe me anything?" Beau couldn't sense if she was mad or not.
"Because I care" He simply replied lightly scratching the back of his head not knowing what else to say.
"Because you care?" She repeated softly feeling her chest tighten. Beau nodded not trusting his voice
but once again she was making him nervous and didn't know why.
Haven sighed remembering what her father had told her the other day. "Isn't this the first time he's
doing a case in over a year?" Beau looked at her intensely remembering the last case his father did
and felt regret instantly.
Before Beau could speak Angelica poked her head out from behind Beau. "Your pretty" Angelica
complimented Haven, giggling shyly. Angelina came around and wrapped her arms around Beau's
neck and stared at Haven in fascination.
Haven smiled. "Thank you so are you" Haven thought they were adorable and was convinced their
whole family was beautiful. "You look like that drawing" Angelica said reminiscing the drawings she and
her sister found in Beau's room when he wasn't home. Haven tilted her head to the side trying to
understand the young girl with big green eyes. "What drawing?" She asked and Beau put his hand over
his sisters mouth.
"Okay enough talking for you" Beau said and Angelica turned away from him with her head held high.
He rolled his eyes he thought she was being extra. "Sorry this is Angelina and Angelica" Beau said
pointing out the two. The twins instantly pouted in annoyance.
"I'm Angelica, and she's Angelina" Angelica spoke up mad that he couldn't identify the two, she then
slapped her brother on his arm that didn't hurt him as much as she wanted it to. "Yeah Bea Bea that not
nice" Angelina said moving to sit beside her sister. Haven smiled lightly at the nickname they gave their
brother she thought it was adorable.
Beau's cheek stained red from Haven hearing the nickname his sister's gave him. Smirking Beau rolled
he's eyes once again. "Same thing" Haven glanced at the clock and it came to a conclusion that her
case would be up next and her nerves were starting to get the best of her as she began to move her © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
leg up and down.
She didn't think she would be nervous but now sitting here in realization that she has to go to court
because someone couldn't control themselves baffled her. Haven soon felt a gentle hand on her thigh
stopping her movements."There's no reason to be nervous we are all here for you" Beau said leaning
to her side.
"I am here for you" Beau whispered calming her nerves slightly. Haven placed her hand on top of his
feeling comfort, something she never felt with besides her family, and it was a different type of comfort,
someone who would love you more than what you asked for and was pleased with the feeling.
Haven leaned in giving him a hug feeling the heat radiating off him and the contact of the skin against
her cheek felt soft and inviting. "Thank you" Beau smiled bringing her closer his side, he could start to
feel his heartbeat rise because of the simple hug, one of the closes ways he could be with her.
A clearing of a voice from behind them broke the couple away from each other. "Sweet heart it's time"
Demetris declared to her, while giving Beau a look of respect yet somewhat hatred at the same time.
