I woke up feeling his arms wrapped around me.His face was so peaceful as he was sleeping and I didn't want to wake him up.I slowly got out of bed and pute my clothes on and looked at him one more time.His beautiful blonde hair were falling on his face.My hand reached out to touch a curl of his hair but I pulled it away fast.I searched for the notebook he always kept on the table and wrote
Last night was fun
xx MelanieI placed the note on the pillow next to him and left.
I looked at my watch,it was almost 8 o'clock and I was already late.
"Shit"
I reached at my phone and called Lilly.
"Hey Bug"I heard her voice at the end of the line.
"Sorry I'm late"I apologized
"Where are you?"she asked
"The subway.I'll be there in ten.Promise"
"We missed you last night"she said and I stopped walking for a moment.
"Yeah I..I was working"
"Yeah,yeah,you'll tell me the truth later"she said and a smile appeared on my face.
"I can't hide anything from you can I?"i asked jokingly
"Nope,now hurry or you'll keep me waiting even more than I already have"
I laughed."See you soon"
"Bye bug"I heard her say just before I hung up.
The truth is that I was just a couple of minutes away but I had to make a quick stop first.Now I was standing outside a school gates.
Elementary School of Brooklyn
That's what was written on the big sign above the gates.I went inside the school yard and saw his sweet familiar face.A smile appeared on my face.
"Chris!"he turned around.
"Mommy"he said as he run towards me giving me a big hug.
"Hello baby"I said and kissed his forehead
"Where were you this morning?"
"I'm sorry baby I.."I started but he interrupted me.
"Dad's here"
"He is?"
"I am!"I heard his voice not believing it still was giving me chills after all these years.I turned to face him.
"Hello Dean"
"Why don't you go play with your friends Chris?"said Dean without even looking at me.
"Don't scold her"Chris said softly.
"I won't"Dean assured him and my little angel run to his friends.
Dean turned to face me with an angry look on his face.
"Where were you this morning?"
"I got held up"I said.I didn't appreciate the way he was looking at me.
He laughed.
"You know I had almost forgotten but today I remembered why you couldn't have raised our son"
That got me pissed.
"I could've"
"No,"he said,"you couldn't have.He would've been a killed if you had,like his mother"
"Or his father"I said and saw him calm down.
"I'm sorry"he said.
"It's fine,your not completely wrong"I said and he looked at me not believing I had just agreed with him
"How did you do it?"I asked
"I have Laurel"
That felt like a punch in the stomach.I faked a smile and said
"Right.."
"We're the same Melanie,as much as we don't like it.Don't forget that."he said and I smiled sadly.
"Tha past can't be forgotten,it can only haunt us"
