My Love Vol. 2

Chapter 3

Dialogue, Language

"Mommy, can we get some ice cream when we leave?" The little boy said, holding a teddy bear in his right arm as he holds his tired mother. "Yeah, sure son, but let's get you some new shoes before we leave, okay?" John said to his son.

Philip follows John's guidance to the next store in the crowded mall.

"Oh my god, it's that him?" Said one of the gossiping females who look like they should be going somewhere calling somebody's manager. But John ignore them and continued to look around with his son for his shoes. "Want these, Pip?" He asked him, "Uh-huh." Philip nodded, holding onto his mother's hip, though his belly was in the way for him to hug himself around.

One of the gossip middle-aged women came over to John and Philip. "Hey, John Laurens right?" The woman said, with a snarky attitude.

"It's John Laurens-Hamilton, ma'am..." He said respectfully, not trying to cause a scene in the store and have to run out. "Well, Mr. 'Hamilton'," She said with air quotes and sarcasm, "I'm just letting you know, that your relationship is doomed. Eliza is going to get Alexander back in no time, but he's not worth shit for what he has done other than you."

John tried to keep his posture and not cuss the lady out, "well, what makes you say that?" He asked her in a calm tone trying to control his anger and pregnancy hormones.

"He paid her to get an abortion when he was at the hotel where he had got her pregnant. There were some pictures of them in a parking lot not so close from here," she showed him the picture on her phone. John takes the phone from her and stared at the screen for the last five seconds, "mom? Are you okay?" No one else was speaking at the moment, the only thing that you can hear was John's shaky breathing. Other people murmured and whispered about the situation or wondering why he was here, "um, sir? You still have my phone, can I have it back." The lady said, John looks back at her as a tear rolled down his cheek, "oh, I'm sorry." He gives the middle-aged woman her phone back. 

He sat the shoes down and picked Philip upon his hip, "come on, son, we're leaving to talk with your father." John snarled as he leaves the store and walked out of the mall. Philip can see the pain in his father's eyes, the embarrassment that he can feel, and the anger that boils in his veins.

Alex was pacing back and forth when he found out that there was evidence leaked that Eliza and Alexander were having a "steamy love affair" behind John's back. And no one has done this but Eliza, she might be sweet and cute on the outside but she's evil and cold inside. "Alex we need to talk," John said opening the door and slamming it, making the house shake.

"Hey, Jacky," Alex said, quickly turning around to face his upset husband, "where's Pip?" he asked nervously, John crosses his arms and pursed his lips. "He's at his aunts', Alexander." John walks over to Alex as he steps back, "you want to explain this?" John pulls out his phone and showed him the picture of him and Eliza kissing. Alexander tries to get out his words, but he couldn't, all he can do was babble. "Stop, babbling! I want to know why would you do this to me! To us!" John's face was flushed with anger.

John looks at him with tears in his eyes, "Alex, tell me why was she in there and what the fuck did you do with her?!" He bellowed, the Caribbean man sighed and sat down on the couch, "Jack, I'm sorry,  but I didn't want it to happen and she was trying to flirt with me. She wants to destroy us for her pleasure, and she came in there to ask me for some money." John scoffs as he shakes his head in disbelief.
