Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

When Aria and Noah were busy in their romantic world in the kitchen, Ivy and Joshua had started with their work. Ivy pulled one of the boxes towards her and took out the papers. They were arranged based on dates she had collected them, the newest being on the top.

"Ivy, what are you doing?" Joshua enquired looking at her pick up the bundle from one of the boxes.

"I am arranging them chronologically."

"Oh." He pouted. The bundle of papers was huge and they couldn't finish all of it in one day. They would need a lot of days to go through all of it.

"Help me," Ivy commanded.

"Okay."

Joshua took a bundle from her hand and started arranging them in order. He could see the dates on the sheets. They started a few days after her father went missing and the latest update was just two days back.

"Wow, you have a lot of papers here." He said giving them a thorough look.

"Yeah. I have noted down everything I have found out until now lest I should forget about them."

"That's great," Joshua remarked but he stopped suddenly.

Sensing no moment from the man beside her, Ivy took a glance at him and she froze immediately. She saw that he was holding a photo of her when she was a baby and the worse part was she was only in her diapers.

"Give me that." She shouted in panic. How did he even find that pic? She remembered she had kept it away from everyone, thoroughly hidden. Initially, this pic was in the family album. But since it was of too much of an embarrassment for her to bear, she had hidden the pic from everyone. However, she was not sure how the pic got here.

"Ivy, who is this?" Joshua asked smirking.

"I said give me that." She seethed standing up.

"Why? Don't tell me this is you?" Joshua said in surprise though he had already deduced the answer from her reaction.

"That's not me. Now give me the pic." Ivy tried to snatch it out of his hands. But Joshua stood up immediately making it difficult for her to reach his hand.

"Are you sure? I could ask Aria to confirm though." He teased. He was thoroughly enjoying looking at an agitated Ivy. It was very rare for her to behave this way.

"Give me the pic." Ivy jumped to grab a hold of it, even so, she was unsuccessful. Joshua had stretched his arms higher making it difficult for her to reach. She looked tiny in front of the six feet tall man.

"Nah uh." He clicked his tongue and turned away from her to take another look at it. Ivy chased after him to snatch it.

"I must say Ivy you were quite bold when you were young."

Ivy tried jumping again when she saw that he had dropped his hand a little. But the moment she tried, Joshua raised his arm again. Ivy stumbled and lost her footing. She fell on Joshua and gravity pulled them down together. During the slip, Joshua had subconsciously placed his left hand on her waist.

Due to the sudden impact, Ivy's head hit Joshua's chin. He groaned in pain while she rubbed her forehead.

"Damn you lady."

Ivy pulled back a little to glare at him while Joshua observed her. She looked more beautiful up close, her eyes were shining as she was sending him daggers and her lips were pursed in a thin line. His eyes then traveled from her face to her neck. Due to the fall, her shirt had lowered a little and he could see the outline of her black bra. He gulped unknowingly. She looked so sexy at that moment that he did not know what to do. The room suddenly became too hot for him.

Ivy pushed back her hair that had fallen over her face and saw Joshua staring at her. She followed his gaze and immediately her eyes widened when she saw what they were fixed at.

Right at that moment, Aria and Noah walked out of the kitchen. The scene in from of them was shocking and they looked at each other quite dumbfounded.

'Were they in the kitchen for so long that many things had happened in the living room without their knowledge?'

Aria gave Noah an evil smile. He blinked at first unable to comprehend what she was getting at.

"Follow my lead." She mouthed. He then nodded in realization.

Aria wanted to have some fun and how could he miss an opportunity to tease Joshua. So he followed her. Also, how could he say no to his woman? If she wanted to have fun and he would make sure she got her fill.

"What a hot scene!!!" Aria exclaimed covering her eyes with her hands. She had tiptoed close to the couple to avoid them sensing her.

"If you guys are in the process of making babies, I wouldn't mind. But I suggest you to get a room." She chaffed.

Her voice broke the fallen pair's reverie and they immediately scrambled to their feet. Ivy cleared her throat in embarrassment while Joshua looked at the ground which suddenly deemed interesting to him.

"How cute!!!" Aria giggled.

"Wow, Jo. That was quite fast. I must say I am impressed." Noah commented, placing the tray on the table.

"What? No. No. You are mist..." Joshua started.

"Relax Jo. I support you both, you look good together."

"There is nothing.." Ivy started but Aria interrupted her.

"I am so happy for you. You look so cute together." Aria hugged her.

"Aria, wait. There is a mis...."

"Sorry guys for disturbing you. You can continue if you want in Ivy's room. We will not be a hindrance."

"Aria." Ivy cried.

"Yes Ivy? Oh you want us to leave the house? We are fine with it. We will give you privacy." Aria grinned and pulled Noah with her. She knew there was nothing going on between the two of them. But it was fun to tease them and see them frustrated.

"There is nothing going on between us," Ivy spoke finally.

"What?" Aria stopped in her track and studied Ivy.

"Yes. I was about to fall and he caught me. That's it." Ivy cleared the misunderstanding.

"Damn. And here I thought, Jo finally got laid."

Both Ivy and Joshua gave Noah a glare making him raise his hands.

"What? I was not the one who was caught in a compromising situation." He remarked.

"And I was under the idea that I would get to see my nephew or niece shortly. Now they will have to wait a little longer to see the world." A smile threatened to break out on Aria's face as she spoke.

Ivy realized what was going on.

"Really now?" She smirked at Aria.

"Uh-oh." Aria noticed that her plan was about to backfire and her sister was on the revenge mode.

"Noah back me up." She whispered.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Aria, if I remember correctly. You were in the kitchen for more than twenty minutes. What were you doing for so long?"

"I was making coffee," Aria replied.

"For that long? Oh really. I am sure there was something else going on."

"What do you mean?" Aria knitted her eyebrows.

"You were with Noah for more than twenty minutes and you say you were making coffee. I believe something else must have happened during this time."

"No, no. Nothing happened." Aria said panicked.

Joshua smiled hearing Ivy's words. Now it was his time to have fun.

"Yes Noah. Tell us what were you doing in there for so long? Wait a second." Joshua gasped. "Ivy, I think it is you who will be getting a niece or a nephew shortly."

"Really. Oh my God." Ivy exclaimed happily.

"Help me." Aria cursed under her breath and looked at the silent Noah but the words he said next made her regret her decision immediately.

"Yes, we were in the process of making kids. However we realized you guys were in a hurry to have them before us. So we gave up."

'Shameless. Shameless. Too shameless.' Aria thought inwardly.

Joshua's lips twitched while Ivy choked on her own saliva. Her brother-in-law was too brazen.

"What are you doing?" Aria whispered angrily.

"You told me to back you up." He replied with a shrug.

"That was not what I meant."

"Then, what did you mean?"

Aria was tongue-tied. She did not know what to say.

"Now if you are done with making babies, shall we do the work we actually came here for?" Noah raised his eyebrows and questioned sternly.

"We were not making babies." Aria, Ivy and Joshua replied at the same time. However, it came out completely wrong. That sure sounded like they were having a threesome.

The four people blinked before they burst out laughing. It was the weirdest conversation they had ever had.
