Bradford Bad Boy

Chapter 2 - Getting to know You

"Zayn. There's nothing to talk about. We should get going. I'll see you around." I snap at him. How dare he? He left. He left without telling me. I couldn't imagine what had Zach told him but his eyes tells me he is so happy to see Zayn.

"I'll walk you to your car, I guess?" Same old. Same old. The same Zayn I fell in love with. I shook my head and I told him no. He just gave me a nod as I held Zach's little hand.

I carried Zach outside to my car so we could buckle up and head home as soon as I could. As we reach our flat I immediately settle him down and went to my bedroom to get our stuff so we could go to Althea's place.

"Mummy, why did we left daddy?" Oh darling not now please. Mummy is so cofused. He pouted at me and I can see his disappointment that daddy isn't around, again.

"He is not your father Zach." My voice calm but firm. I hoped I didn't scare my son but it looks like he isn't going to talk for me for the rest of the night.

As soon as we reached Althea's doorstep Zach managed to give me a sweet smile as I open the front door for him. He ran towards Althea as she tickles him. "Thea! I miss you. Happy Birthday." He smiles at her as he handed her his drawing. Yes he likes to draw just like Zayn, not a surprise to me. Althea hugged her and give me a 'come with me, we need to talk' look.

"So tell me what's going on." She elbows me as she smiles looking at Zach giving everyone a hug or a kiss. He is one friendly child, like me not like Zayn. Now that's something he have from me. My attitude towards people.

"He saw him." I never lie to her. She's my bestfriend, more like my sister. She was there when I don't even want to continue my life. She never let me go through all those shitty things without her.

"Who saw who?" She looks confused. I don't know if she's playing dumb or she just wants me spit out all the details about what happened earlier. I took a deep breath and sighed.

"Zayn. He saw Zach." Her eyes widen and shocked filled her gorgeous blue eyes. He held my hand and she started saying something I don't want to hear at that moment.

"El, he's coming. We all think it's a good time for you to talk. To clear things up. To let him into Zack's life."

I shook my head in disbelief. They knew I wasn't ready to see him. Not after everything he has done. He caused me so much pain. I love him, I know I still do but I'm still hurting. I still can't accept the fact that he left me, left me with a responsibility. I don't mean that I couldn't raise Zach alone but it would have been better if he was with me when I needed him most.

I hurried back to where Zach is and I plan on going home as soon as I knew that he'll be coming. Althea was calling my name but I ignored her. Zach was confused of why are we going home, we just came here minutes ago. I don't want Zayn to see him. What if he'll take Zach away? He has the influence and money. I don't want Zach away from me, after all, he is just my son.

As I opened the front door with Zach on my other hand, I can feel a huge lump inside my throat. I feel all the hairs on my body stood up as I heard him say every single word.

"Leaving so soon El?" He smirks at me. He looks so hot. A strand of his hair falling like perfection. He looks so dapper with his black button up shirt. I can see his tattoos because he obviously rolled up his sleeves up to his elbow. He then shifts his gaze to the little boy beside me I was shocked and happy with his words it made me realize that I should let my son be happy for once. He would be so thankful to spend time with Zayn, his father.

"Well hello there Son."

ZAYN's POV

As I walk back to my house, I was still confused on what happened earlier. Seeing her again after 6 years makes my heart skip a beat. I can still remeber those kisses we've shared. It was the best times of my life. When we cuddle, when we argue, when we talk and laugh about random things. I miss it. I miss us. I miss her so much. I wish I didn't left her. If only I stayed, maybe we're still together. We're probably staying in a house together just how I planned it. Went to college together. Saving money for our future together.
