If Kisses Should Win

Part thirty

I stormed through the large front doors of the building. I kept my hand on Arlos head supporting it as I walked. He had started to babble not long after he reached 2 months old. The doctor told us that most babies don't start to make sounds until 3-4 months old. That just means Arlos a genius!
I continued to walk ,or more like stomp, up to the front desk.
"I need Elliot Buecanon."
The man behind the desk raised an eyebrow at me.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"I'm his partner! This is his kid! Do you need anything else?!"
"I can't let you up without an appointment."
This motherfucker. I turned so he could see Arlos face.
"Look at this kid! He looks exactly like Elliot!"
The man did not seem very impressed.
"Call him."
"I can't call him. I can call his secretary if you would like."
"Yes! Call his idiot secretary."
The man picked up the phone and dialed the number. After about the 5th ring someone picked up. I couldn't tell exactly what he was saying but in the end the guy let me through.
"Thanks moron."
The guy rolled his eyes at me but I continued on my way. I pushed the button for the elevator and waited. It dinged signaling it was here and I got in pushing the button for Elliot's floor.
Once the elevator made its way to the correct floor it opened to reveal a main desk which was were a receptionist sat and behind her around 10 other smaller desks sat. In the very back of the room I could see a set of double door which I'm guessing is Elliots office.
After being with Elliot for so long I'm surprised at myself for never coming here. I walked to the lady at the desk. She was nicer than the man downstairs.
"How can I help you?"
"I need Elliot Buecanon."
"No, I'm sorry sir but without an appointment I can't let you see him."
"I'm his partner for god sakes! It's important!"
She gave me a pitying look.
"A guy called up here to his secretary and said I could come up."
She nodded and started to type something on her computer. She continued to type and type. Fuck this. I walked around her desk and through the main aisle way of the desks.
"Sir!"
She called after me but I couldn't care. Elliot was in trouble and he had to know it. I didn't even knock on the doors bursting through them. Elliot sat with wide eyes looking at me and a man sat on the other side of his desk looking at me as well.
"Dex!"
"Dont Dex me!"
I stormed over to him unclipping the baby carrier and handing Arlo to him.
"Take him. Now listen to me."
Elliot seemed to look over to the man looking for help.
"Looks like your in trouble with the wife." He laughed and showed himself out of the office.
"What the hell Elliot?!"
"Honey...I promise it's not what it looked like."
"It's not what it looks like?! Are you seriously bullshiting me with that?! I was at OUR home watching OUR child and folding YOUR GODDAMN LAUNDRY! YET THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE DOING?"
Arlo cooed at Elliot and started to mess with the buttons on his suit coat.
"I CAN NOT believe I was dumb enough to believe that you would actually stay with me."
Elliot shook his head standing up still holding Arlo.
"Dex! Please that's not what this is! I love you so much! We have an amazing kid together! Please!"
I really can't believe that I let myself fall into this trap. Of course he would marry someone else. Someone who would help his business and not just a random person he knocked up.
"It's not like you really had a choice though. I mean we only slept together a couple times and I just happened to get pregnant. You probably felt obligated to be with me."
Tears stung at my eyes.
"Give me my baby."
I put out my hands but Elliot stepped away.
"No! He's my son too! I love you Dex...I really truly do. Just let me explain."
"No, I'm tired of arguing with you. Give me my baby, Elliot."
I grabbed Arlo out of his arms not bothering to clip him back into the carrier. I held him close to my chest and left the room tears starting to drip down my face.
I really am an idiot.
