Blessed by Night

Chapter 355 All In & Welcome Home

355  All In & Welcome Home

The Saint apartment was already winding down for the night.

As of now, the only light was coming from the glow of the city beyond the windows, and the television in the living room.

The Bernie Mac Show was on at Nadine's request and it was the episode where Jordan takes up ribbon dancing.

Nadine hadn't stopped laughing for eighteen minutes straight.

Neither had Cami, but that was more so because she was thrilled to be up past her bedtime.

Unfortunately for her, Bianca had just beaten the most recent Pokémon game for the thirtieth time.

Once she looked up at the clock, she realized exactly what time it was.

"Bed time, little missy."

""Uwah??!""

"Babe, not you. The baby."

Nadine sighed in relief while Camille teleported to safety.

Bianca groaned and looked at the couch's other occupants.

Joanne was asleep with her hand in her pants like an old man. Mouth open and everything.

Sei was receiving a foot rub from Luna. And both were trying their best not to look in Bianca's direction.

""We're not here."" They lied.

*Sigh*

Bianca rolled her eyes and got up.

She wandered to the kitchen where she opened the doors to the cabinet and found their daughter hiding behind a bottle of dish detergent.

Cami seemed taken aback that she had been found, even though she consciously picks the exact same hiding spot every time.

"Come along now, little miss." Bianca lifted her daughter out of solitary confinement.

"Bwa!"

"You can direct all of your complaints to the appropriate department as soon as you learn how to write your own name."

Camille went limp in her mother's arms as if the added difficulty would prevent Bianca from being able to carry her up the stairs.

It didn't.

Bianca brought the young girl up to her crib and lay her down despite protests.

In the end, she had to read her a minimum of three stories to get her to doze off.

As Cami's chest rose and fell gently, Bianca kissed her on the forehead.

She clicked on her nightlight and backed out of the room without making so much as a single sound. Though she did blow a kiss to the small axolotl in the giant fish tank.

As she closed the door, she prepared to head back downstairs to her loved ones when she noticed a small bit of light coming from down the hall.

Smiling to herself, she tiptoed further down the hallway to an entirely different bedroom.

A door was partially cracked and she peered in on the occupant absentmindedly.

Celeste looked to be fresh out of the shower and was currently drying off her body.

Even with her back turned, Bianca could still see her full breasts like they were right in front of her.

Bianca knocked on the door twice to get her attention. Celeste fumbled to cover herself as she entered.

"Going to bed already?"

Celeste seemed to relax just a little bit when she realized that it was Bianca who came and not Malachi.

"Oh… I normally wind down pretty early. The past three nights have been a bit out of character for me." Celeste seemed a bit embarrassed to admit her habits. "Part of getting older I suppose."

Bianca shook her head as she sat on the edge of her bed. She picked up a book that lay nearby. It was almost as thick as her thigh.

"So is this monster something like a sleep aide?" She asked amusedly.

"It's less messy than a vibrator." Celeste shrugged.

"And why would you need one when you have so many better alternatives downstairs?" Bianca replied without looking up.

The ease with which the words slipped past her lips had almost made Celeste drop her towel.

"…Are you aware of just how much you resemble your fiancé in times such as this?"

"I might take that as a compliment depending on what you're talking about."

Celeste rolled her eyes. "You both have certain…"

Celeste felt her eyes wandering across Bianca's figure. She noticed her exposed abs and manicured fingers.

She even found herself paying attention to things she normally wouldn't on a woman. Like her round butt and full lips.

"…features." Celeste finished.

Bianca raised a brow in amusement as she closed the book. "Features, huh? What kind of features?"

Bianca crawled across the bed like a cat on the prowl, and her orange eyes flickered with intrigue.

By now, Celeste was better at dealing with the flirtatious advances of everyone in the house and she didn't buckle as easily as she once might've.

"Very attractive ones. Is that what you wanted to hear me say?"

"Only if you meant it."

"I did. Now what will you embarrass me with?"

"I'm more concerned on what I should entice you with."

Celeste was now understanding the words 'flying too close to the sun'.

In her haste not to be made fun of, she ended up making the situation a bit weird.

And now Bianca was looking at her like a steak wrapped in gold.

"Do you want to sleep alone again tonight?" Bianca asked.

The edge within her voice was not lost on her houseguest.

Celeste felt like she was going to have an aneurysm.

"W-W.. I… I mean… I've never done anything with… I mean there was a couple of times in college, but that was j-just… would Malachi be-"

"Okay with it?" Bianca smiled. "I think you might be a little mistaken about something. Malachi may have been the biggest aggressor, but his sentiments for you are shared by all of us."

Bianca tentatively reached up and pulled down Celeste's towel. Bringing her beautiful, curvaceous body into full view.

"I know the idea might take a while to get used to and it seems a bit scary at first, but it's not complicated at all. Just know that I also have feelings for just like Mal does. And I'd like the opportunity to express that."

Bianca gently grabbed Celeste's hand. Celeste, for whatever reason, didn't pull away this time.

Bianca pulled her in for a kiss as the two fell backwards into bed. And despite all of Celeste's earlier bluster about needing to retire early, she would be up for quite a while.

-

Bianca was gently woken up by the sound of chewing and clinking metal.

She was still curled in Celeste's arms and gently lifted herself up so as not to wake her new lover.

When she sat up unclothed, she heard two endearingly familiar voices.

"Fuck, she's hot. Even with the bed head."

"I didn't realize how much I missed home until right this moment."

"I think I'm jealous though... I might hate fuck her later."

"Which one?"

"Either. Both. Both is good."

"You know what? Same."

"I love you so much."

"Love you too, babe."

Sitting in a chair in the corner of her room was her best friend and fiancé, Anna.

Sitting between her legs was their fiancé and the father of their child, Malachi.

Both of them were wearing sweats like they'd been home for hours. Or like they'd never even left.

Bianca felt her heart swell at the sight of them. Malachi in particular.

She almost let out a girlish squeal and leapt out of bed into their laps to kiss them both.

However, something far more important was taking precedence right about now.

What the two were eating.

"… Is that my Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal..?"

Anna froze with the spoon inches from her mouth.

"AND my Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts?!"

Malachi slowly hid the silver wrapper behind his back.

""…No."" They lied.

Bianca just sighed as she stared at the two of them pitifully.

Despite her agitation, there was an undeniable love in her eyes.

"Honestly… What am I even supposed to do with the two of you?"

I really miss being a kid in high school sometimes. do yk what I would give to go back to the days when I got to sit and play Skyrim in my room for hours at a time??
