₈ Late Night Talks

You glanced at the phone beside you waiting for that 'No Caller ID' to pop on the screen. For the last few days you have been thinking to yourself. And it was only this morning when you finally made up your mind to talk to Toji. You wanted to clear some misunderstandings with him. It just didn't sit right with you to leave him thinking that you're mad at him when the truth was, you were never were. At least not as much as he thinks you are. If anything, you were angrier at yourself. Instead of keeping it cool and brushing his harsh words off, you ended up taking them personally and letting him get to you.

Not only that, you were also reminded of your lingering feelings for him.. Why did you have agree to sleep with him? If only you didn't kiss him that day then you wouldn't be having these problematic thoughts.

Your intention was to help him fix his regrets, not help him relieve his overwhelming sexual desires. You thought you would've at least learned your lesson after Kazuki's father but here you are now. Only difference being that Toji didn't give you another Kazuki.

Oh and not to mention, you weren't drunk.. You're mind was clearer than the blue sky that day and you still gave in to him..

Nonetheless, you had made up your mind that if you were to talk to him right now it would just be a conversation between friends, nothing more.

|6:03 PM, Monday|

You sat alone in your bed, relaxing your back into a soft pillow with a laptop on your lap as your fingers and eyes moved to check your emails while waiting for the phone to ring.

You heard the door being opened so you look up towards it. Standing near the door was none other than your son.

"Sorry mommy, are you busy?"

You assumed that he had just returned from Ryousuke's room who had his friends over to study for a test.

"No, come here." You smiled, patting the spot beside you, "Did Ryousuke kick you out?"

He shuts the door and ran to the bed, crawling up to your side, "No, I just wanted to see what you were doing." He yawned.

"Just who does this boy think he's lying to?" You said in your mind, putting the laptop aside and lifting him up to your lap, "That's cute." You chuckled, "But you don't look like you're just here to see what I'm doing."

He just stared at you.

"If something is worrying you, don't be afraid to tell me."

Placing both of his palms on your cheeks, he leans up to place a sweet kiss your forehead, "I love you, mommy."

Despite knowing that he did it to distract you, you felt giddy with happiness and a smile formed on your lips, "Awww! I love you too, my cute little baby." You cooed, pulling him into a tight embrace as you rested your chin on his head.

"But I don't want to be a baby. I want to grow bigger than Ryou." He argued under you.

"And you will. That's why you need to eat and drink your milk." You responded, gently rubbing his back.

"And sleep?"

"Yes, that too." You laughed softly.
