Love Me Always (Book 2)

chapter 23. Bianca

In the kitchen, with pots and pans everywhere it looks like pure chaos, how did I every become so messy.
Draining the spaghetti, the steam fills the room with clouds, the fire alarm starts to go off sending shock waves through my skin.

"Mummy, mummy dont like noise."

"Mummy stop it." David winges.

"Mummys trying, just calm down." I state flapping a kitchen towel in the air above the fire alarm.

KNOCK.KNOCK.

"Great." I sighed, Ryder always had perfect timing, when I physically having a melt down with the heat in here along with the malfunction of my so called dinner.

I quickly open the door, running back to the fire alarm, continuing to flap my arms around like a looney.

Ryder closes the door, and comes behind me, I feel his breath inches from me, the hairs on my neck sticking up, as he brushes past me taking the towel from my hand and waving it around, finally stopping the noise.

"Hey." He smiles.

"Hey, sorry about that." I sighed.

"Here I brought some wine and some desserts, I wasnt sure what to get so I got a few different bits and pieces." Ryder rambles nervously.

"Thanks." I take them them put of his hand placing them in the fridge and freezer.

Grabbing two wine glasses I let Ryder do the honors and pour the drinks.

"Dinner shouldn't be too much longer." I said taking a sip of my glass.

"Are you sure, it looks like a bombs gone off, when did you get so destructive?" Ryder laughs.

"Oh shut up, you wont be complaining when your eating later." I remark.

"Ummm, cant wait." Ryder bites the bottom of his lip. God why is he making me feel like this, I feel a nervous teenager all over again.

"Anyway, let me introduce you to David." I guide him to the living room.

David sits on the living room floor, with his little road map out and cars every where, while his also busy watching cbeebies.

'David, do you want to come here and meet someone." I said.

David doesnt turn around to engrossed with waffle doggie to even take his eyes off the tv.
Grabbing the remote I furn it off, David soon turns around to look.

"David, this is my friend Ryder." I smile.

"Hi." David comes up to him high fiving him which was a thing Paul used to do with him everytime they greeted one another.

"David, my darling, Ryder is very special because he is your daddy. " I smile between the two of them.

"Hey, little man." Ryder kneels down to David level taking him all in.

"Daddy." David rushes to him, wrapping his arms into Ryder and hugging.

I watch as Ryder kneels reserved at first unsure what to do before he embarrasses the hug and higs him back.

David soon pulls away from Ryder and goes back to playing with his cars on the floor.

Ryder stands tall again, turning to face me I see his eyes are clouded with tears.

"Thankyou Bee." He whisper into my ear as he places a kiss on my cheek.

"Daddy, play with me." David calls out holding a red car for Ryder.

"You be this one, I be this one. " David continues.

I stand in the kitchen plating up the dinner, memorized with their embrace, role playing so sweetly on the floor, with Ryder on the odd occasions trying to ask David questions.
