Chapter 16: chapter 16- Us Three
DAMON~
"Mommy!" Elliot shouted as he dashed away from me and ran straight into her arms, she picked him up and held him tight.
"Hey my little prince," she said then snapped her head in my direction.
"What are you doing here?" She asked angrily, her eyes slightly glowing.
"Relax, look around," I said and allowed myself and take in the environment "You can't do that here."
"I'll do what I want you Neanderthal" She spat and I knew she meant it, I was about to reason with her when someone walked up from behind her and stepped in front of her.
"Who the fuck are you," the man said, his blue eyes locked on me, I looked him up and down and smiled.
"So this is the guy you're shagging" I said and immediately I hated the sound of the words that just left my mouth.
"Talk to her with respect you dick" The guy defended, Nox growled from inside me wondering who the hell this guy was.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked.
"None of your fucking business" she hissed as she stepped back into his front.
"He's involved with you and you're the mother of my child so it is my fucking business" I barked.
"You're not his father," she said.
"I think you need to leave," the guy said, I was stunned as I turned back to him.
"Mind your fucking business" I shouted.
"This is my fucking business" he argued, standing his ground against me, With every word I exchanged with this guy I could feel Nox's anger growing, no one challenges an alpha.
"Really" I asked with a sinister tone.
"Can you two stop" She shouted covering Elliot's ears, "Damon leave" she said to me but her tone was no longer hostile then she turned and looked at him.
"Micheal thank you but I'll see you at work tomorrow," she said and rushed off not letting either of us get in another word. The guy who was apparently Micheal stared blankly at me and walked back to his car, leaving me standing on the walkway with strangers staring at me, I let out a frustrated grunt before I also left.
ZARAH~
I stepped down the bus, still carrying Elliot in my arms as I rushed to my door, unlocked it, and walked into my home, I locked the door tightly and put Elliot down then pressed my back against the door, slowly I slid down till my butt was on the floor and my head was in my hand.
"Fuckkk" I let out a mumbled scream as I recounted the scene I had just left. How was his presence able to overwhelm all the joy I had been feeling throughout the entire day, I hated it, I hated the power he had over me.
"Mommy" Elliot's call snapped me out of my thoughts and brought me back to reality.
"Little prince" I replied, a smile forcing its way onto my face as I saw his smile.
"I hungry" He complained, I chuckled as I remembered that he was all that mattered everything thing else was insignificant, I stood from from the floor and picked him up.
"What do you wanna eat?" I asked with a smile I couldn't control.
"Spaghetti!!" He shouted joyfully.
"Ok let's go," I said as I carried him into the kitchen and sat him comfortably on the kitchen island.
"Let's make spaghetti!" He shouted happily, kicking his legs back and forth as I moved through the cupboards of the kitchen. I placed everything I had taken out of the cupboards and drawers on the table, everything I needed to cook was on the table.
"What do we do first?" I asked.
"We fill the pot with water and let it boil" he answered.
"Very good" I praised patting his head as I took the pot to the sink, filled it, and placed it in the stove flame, Thanks to the heat of the flames the water began to boil after a few minutes so I began cooking asking him the next step every single time I did something till it was all done and all that was left was to let the water drain, I turned to him, anticipation filling his eyes as he waited excitedly.
"How was school?" I inquired.
"Well it was boring till mister Damon came" He answered.
"Do you like him?"
"He's fun and Ravy likes Him too" he answered plainly.
"I thought I told you to keep Ravy between us" I scolded, my tone soft with disapproval.
"I only told him because Ravy said I could trust him" he explained, ok a saddened look in his eyes "Sorry" he apologized, I let out a small breath of exhaustion.
"it's ok, just be careful, not everyone will understand" I warned, then I looked back at the pot "ok let's, eat my prince," I said with a smile then I served him a plate and watched him happily eat.
MICHEAL~
I tried her phone again and was greeted with the familiar automated female voice.
"Fuck" I groaned as I put down the phone and leaned into my chair, I had been calling her phone since I got home but she had ignored all of them or maybe didn't just see them, either way, I felt like an idiot. She didn't need me to defend her she had that covered, but when I heard his tone towards her my blood boiled with anger, I stood up from my couch and was ready to turn in when my phone began to ring, I turned back to it hopeful that she had finally decided to call me back, I picked up the phone was immediately disappointed when I read the name.
"Thomas the Great" the contact read, never have I been more disappointed that he called than now, after inwardly cursing him I picked up the call and put the phone close to my ear.
"What do you want," I said.
"Whoa, someone is annoyed, am I interrupting something?" He asked, his voice filled with childish amusement as he spoke.
"Nah" I answered and sank back into the chair.
"What happened, thought everything was going great?"
"Yeah it was till we ran into her ex" I explained.
"Shiiit, that's a bummer man. What was he like" Thomas questioned.
"Just a piece of shit" I answered.
"How'd he look?" Thomas pressed but I remained quiet "Oh fuck, he looks that good" he exclaimed.
"I never said that" I denied.
"Your silence was the answer I needed," Thomas said, laughing as he spoke.
"Fuck you" I cursed with a soft chuckle.
"Fuck you, I'll talk to you later bro They need my attention in the kitchen," He said, kitchen my arse, through the phone I could hear the gentle voice of a woman calling him back to bed.
"Have fun, you fool" I said then disconnected the call.
