Two to Tango

Chapter sixteen

Xander's POV

Brooklyn is a nice town seriously, it's so positive and calm, driving around here gives me alot of time to think and I wouldn't lie I missed Italy and Spain too, but I have to stay here for mia, to get the love of my life back I'm ready to do anything and when I get her back I'm going to make Vicky pay for all she did to her. That pathetic useless bitch dare threatened Mia, I can't believe I once cared for her and thought of getting married to her when she's just a manipulative snake.
        It's been 2days since I and Mia made our confessions, 2days since I finally opened up to her about Samantha my daughter and 2days since I told her I loved her and she hasn't told me back I don't want to rush her, I feel like she needs to take her time before devoting herself to me again, nevertheless I won't stop loving her.
I parked my car at the front of her house and checked my watch
5:34pm
She isn't home yet hopefully, I need to make dinner for her before  she returns, when I get her back and take her with me to Spain or Italy, I'm going to make sure she won't touch anything or work for her money anymore. I came down opening the house before locking the door.

"Mia?" I called out
No response
"Babe" I called out again
No response
My phone pinged notifying me that I have a message, I brought it out to see a message from mia

Babe:
I'll be home in 30minutes, my boss let me home early today.

I replied and locked the phone dropping it on the table before taking long strides to the kitchen to make her dinner. Lasagna sounds good.

****
The door opened notifying Mia is home, just right in time, I turned off the stove before moving to the sitting room to see a disheveled Mia. I chuckled she's so cute.
"Ah! So tired" I commented
"Honestly, my feet are killing me, I had to trek all the way here I couldn't catch the bus" she said causing me to grimace
"Sorry, would you want a leg massage later?"I asked while she nodded eagerly making me to smile.
"I smell lasagna" she said sniffing the air
"Because I made lasagna" I replied crossing my arms around my chest
"Amazing, I'm just going to head to bathroom quick, she said before running off to the bathroom.
I went in the kitchen to serve the food and set the tables when a heard a phone shrilling, I looked over to where I had dropped my phone minutes ago and noticed it wasn't from my phone, it was from mia's phone.
"Babe! Your phone!" I yelled but she couldn't hear me as she didn't reply, I'm just gonna decline it then.
I walked towards her bag, zipping it open to decline it before I saw Theresa as the caller ID, oh her friend, I declined it and decided to move to what I was doing before it start shrilling again.
What was so important?
I took the phone pressing the accept button ready to tell her that Mia is in the bathroom and she should call later when her panicked voice ran through the speakers.
"Mia, you need to come down to Spain right now! Kaden- kaden had an accident I'm in hurlings hospital right now. Mia I need you! I can't do this alone. Kaden needs his mother please!" She said in one breath, I couldn't speak, my throat blocked to speak any necessary words as I just hung up the phone before putting it on silent.

Kaden? Why do I feel I've heard that name somewhere?
"Kaden needs his mother please!"

My thoughts wandered to her words, is Kaden Mia's son? And If he is,she would have told me right? She would have told me she has a child except... it's another man's child. Just on cue, Mia walked in with the biggest smile on her face when she saw my still face, her smile disappeared.
"Xander? What's wrong honey?" She asked, care and concern gracing her every words except it's fake!
"Calm down Xander, you're yet to hear from her" my subconscious told me as I took a deep breath approaching Mia, she begun to walk back until her back hit the wall.
"Xander?..."
"Who's Kaden?" I asked straightforward, her eyes widen and her lips parted midway telling me the answers I needed to know, but I wanted to hear it from her. She remained quiet as she avoided eye contact with me.
"Mia..who is Kaden?" I asked again closing the Space between us as I placed my two hands on the wall blocking her from moving, still she said nothing.
"Mia!" I shouted shaking her frantically
"Tell me who kaden is?! I demand shaking her too roughly making her hair sway back and forth with her head.
"Who the fuck is Kaden?!" I yelled in her face
"He's my son!!!!!"she yelled back at me and I stood frozen looking at her, tears dripping out of her eyes to her face, I've never felt betrayed.
"He's your son?" I asked again trying to confirm if I heard right.
"He's our son Xander" she said quietly and whimpered.
I stared at her trying to process the information, she-we- had a son? and she kept him away from me for so long? Why? Why would she do that?.
"Why?" I asked quietly but she refused to answer
"Why would you keep him away from me?" I asked again and yet no response, she just looked at the floor while I moved away picking up my keys and her phone while she kept looking at the floor.
I strode outside slamming the door gripping my hair tight in frustration.
I told her about me.
I apologized.
I followed her back to Brooklyn.
I confessed my love to her.
And this is how she pay me back?
She keeps away my son from me when she knows fully well I lost one child before. I jumped in my car looking at her phone just to see 5missed calls from Theresa.
Kicking the car start, I pressed on the accelerator ready to head for my jet to take me to Spain.

I'm going to see me son!
