"Out with it." He says with his hand on my thigh and the other on the steering wheel.
"With what?"
"Your thoughts."
"No, I just, she is pretty."
"Kitten, I know you better than that."
"Baby, you know I love your friends right?" He nods "Were the two of you ever more than just friends?"
"Yeah, she is my ex-girlfriend."
"How long ago was that?"
"Four years ago, when I left Munich, we broke up."
"How serious were you two?"
"We were together for three years." That is serious. "I never asked you this many questions about you and Sam and he was actively trying to get you back."
"Who says Irma is not trying to get you back?"
"Even if she is, I wouldn't."
"Well, I wouldn't either and at that point we were just fucking and you beat sam up."
"Because he got handsy not because he was interested in you."
"Wow okay, Im done trying to make you see things from my perspective."
"You could try to see mine!"
"I did and the difference between what went down with Sam and I is that we now have a fucking baby, Kai. I don't want you entertaining anyone that wants to break that."
I stormed off after that and went to clear my thoughts in the garden, Khanyi is still asleep so I have time.
How can he not see how different things are? Things were different then, I was with someone I was attracted to and wrapped around. Now, I have baby fat, my body does not feel the same and I am constantly whining, I am not the same and this Irma is attacking my self-esteem, maybe I am being insecure.
I let out a sigh. I dust myself off as I stand. Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt. He is sitting on the floor with Khanyi on top of him.
"I'm sorry I stormed off." He doesn't lookup. "I am sorry I overreacted." A defeated sigh
"You were not overreacting, she rubbed you the wrong way." He looks toward me
"Dada," Khanyi says as she plays with his face.
"I just, don't think this is the best idea but you can use your judgement to navigate the situation for yourself." He looks at me before patting the space next to him. I lay next to him, he takes my hand and places it above his heart.
"You got me for life, the purpose of this heart is to beat for you." Khanyi hits him in the chest "Don't be jealous mein kleiner Schatz, I still adore you." [Translate: My little treasure.]
"I love you, always."
"I love you, always." There is a knock on the door, he stands up to see who it is, Greta and Heidi went to meet their friends so we are alone.
"Ah, Felix! Paul! Was tun sie hier?" He sounds happy to see whoever is at the door. [Translation: What are you doing here?]
"Your dad is trying to replace me," I whisper into Khanyi's ear, she looks shocked. "Yep, I was shocked too but we won't let that happen." In walks Kaiser, two men following his tale all speaking what I guess must be german and Irma.
"Kitten, this is Felix and Paul, you already know Irma." I know her too well. "Guys this is Kamo." I wave as I get off the floor and put Khanyi on my waist.
