My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 18

"Please stay, Nona," they begged profusely. They couldn't quite pronounce my name correctly, so they

just called me Nona. I sat back down and they crawled into my lap. "Please don't go," they pouted with

puppy dog eyes. I couldn't say no to those eyes. Especially when there were two pair of them. I had to

stay now. I turned and gave Elias the same puppy dog eyes as the girls turned their attention to him as

well. Elias sighed defeat.

"How about you girls both just stay at the pack house with Nova?" he offered instead. They both

gasped before going off excitedly.

"Really?!" they said in unison. They started bouncing around Elias in circles and giggling.

"Sit still," Elias growled sternly. They sat still next to me and closed their mouths immediately. It was so

cute. "Nova, find Yana so she can make a bag for them," he said. I stood and kissed his cheek before I

went to the playground. Yana had me watch the rest of the kids while she went to pack the girls a bag.

She came back empty handed. I looked at her confused. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Where are the bags?" I asked. She smiled sweetly.

"Master Madsen, this is very generous of you," Yana said to him instead before she turned to me.

"They have already been placed in the SUV waiting outside," she explained. I thanked her before I

went outside to see that, sure enough, there was a black SUV with tinted windows waiting for us. The

girls sprinted to the car and climbed inside. Elias must have brought that with him. There were car

seats in the back seat making me think that Elias probably called someone while I was going to get

Yana. I strapped the girls in and we were off. Elias drove the short drive back to the house. As soon as

Elias parked, the girls were struggling to undo their seatbelts. As soon as they were undone, the girls

took off inside the house.

"Alana! Anya!" I called once we got inside. I heard the little pitter-patter of tiny feet running closer

before they were bouncing in place in front of me, trying to suppress their giggles. Elias came up

beside me and looked at the girls. He spared me a glance before he sighed.

"The room next to Nova's is set up for you two," he said in monotone. I was excited too, this time. I ran

up the stairs with the twins at my heels. I threw open the door next to mine. There were two twin beds

setup with pink princess blankets. He wasn't kidding when he said that the room was set up for them,

specifically. The girls squealed before they each chose a bed and jumped on it, giggling. He would

probably deny it, but the corner of Elias' mouth did pull up just slightly. "We have a big day tomorrow, so

rest up," he said to them before he left. They each grabbed their bag and began fishing through it for

their pajamas. I smiled at them as I leaned against the doorframe.

"Alana, Anya, I'm going to talk to Eli but I'll be back to say goodnight, okay?" I said.

"Okay!" they smiled in unison before they went back to their bags. I chuckled and shook my head

before I went to look for Elias. I checked his office first. When he wasn't there, I remember him saying

that his room was on the fourth floor. I walked up the flights of stairs before coming onto a door that

blocked the entire floor. I hesitantly knocked.

"Come in," Elias said from the other side of the door. I cracked it open before I walked in. I looked

around the room in awe. The entire fourth floor was his room. He had a few couches facing a TV on the

far right wall and a giant extra California king-sized bed against the back wall. His bathroom doors were

open on the left. I assumed the other set of doors led to an excessive walk-in closet. There were

dressers and even a vanity. There were big windows lining the blank parts of the walls, making the

room feel open and airy. The plush cream carpet felt good against my feet. The furniture was all made

out of cherry red wood, giving the giant room a homey feel still. Elias chuckled at my expression.

"This is my room," he smiled at me. I momentarily forgot why I came up here I the first place. I wrapped

my arms around his neck in a hug when he got closer. Elias froze before he gently hugged me back.

"Thank you," I said sincerely.
