Five Years, Too Late

🌹43🌹

Thanatos' pov 👙

I adjusted Davis's uniform, I just helped him (Davis) changed into a new uniform.

Looking at him is just as if I'm staring at my five years old self, he's just as handsome as I was.

"Come on, let's go tell momma we're leaving" I said.

"Hm" he nodded in agreement.

He grabbed my pinky finger and we headed to Jasmine's room. My phone ran and I reached for it, I saw it's my assistant calling.

"June!" I answered the call.

"Good morning, Mr O'Briens..." she greeted and paused.

I simply hummed and nodded in response, temporarily forgetting she can't see me.

"... I called to remind you about the meeting this morning" she said.

"Alright.. remind the team again, it's 9am and tardiness is not allowed"

"Yes, sir"

"Anyone who's late, should consider themselves fired!" I sounded bossy.. but I don't care, that's why I'm the boss.

"Yes, Mr O'Briens"

I realized we've arrived outside Jasmine's room, I hanged up and shoved the phone back in my pocket.

Davis already pushed the door open, we both stepped in..

But unfortunately, Jasmine's sprawled on her bed, snoring softly.

"Momma's sleeping" Davis said.

"Yeah, I guess we'll go to school without telling her..."

He shook his head and untangled his hand from mine, he rushed towards the bed and climbed onto it.

"Momma, I'm ready for school" he said.

He leaned closer to Jasmine's forehead and planted a brief kiss, then hopped off the bed and came back to me.

Hmm.. such a smart son I have! I thought feeling proud.

My eyes turned to Jasmine, I wanted to wake her up but later decided against it..she must be feeling tired.

After all, she's spent three weeks accompanying and take caring of me relentlessly...she deserves this rest.

I looked down at Davis with a smile.

"Come on, buddy, let's go"

"Hm" he nodded.

Then we headed out.

              *********

"Alright, buddy, off you go" I told Davis.

He collected his lunchbox from me, he kissed my cheek and waved at me before rushing inside.

I'm quite bewildered at his action, but I love it.. it means he's accepted me unconsciously.

"Mr O'Briens, send my regards to Jasmine" Davis's teacher said.

I stood up from my squatting position and nodded... she's giving me flirtatious smile and stuff, but I simply ignored them.

"Right.. I wanted to talk to Jasmine about Davis, but I can just talk to you instead"

"Davis?" I asked.

She nodded.. I waited for her to speak, but she wouldn't. She's just staring at my face, as if there's something she's tryna pluck off.

"Miss Rodgers?" I snapped my fingers across her eyes.

This brought her back from whatever trance she was in, she blinked and cleared her throat with her cheeks red all over.
