Unlove you

Chapter 4

"Sofia, can we go out on a date?" Zach asked. I didn't answer right away because I was preparing Marko's stuff before he take a bath. And I was thinking about it, too.

"Uhmm.. If you're not comfortable, we can bring Marko." He said and I looked at him. He's selfless. I know that he waited long enough for this opportuny and I will do my best to do what is I think is right.

"No. Let's date, just the two of us. No Marko. I know that you deserve it. You've waited long enough for this chance and I promise to do my best to fall in love with you." I said sincerely. I won't destroy this potential love. I think I like him already.

"Okay. I'll fetch you later, 8 pm. Wear something comfortable. Then we'll bring Marko to my Mom because she said she wants to see him. Okay? See you later." He said and kissed my cheeks.

I said goodbye and I went upstairs to check on my son. It's just 11 am and Marko is just lying on our bed. He's just staring on the ceiling and he looks so sad.

"What are you thinking, my big boy?" I asked and kissed his cheeks and hug him tightly. I know my son and I know when he's thinking about something which bothers him.

"I was just thinking about having a father, Mom. Would you let Uncle Zach? I know he loves us. And I dreamed last night that I was in a park.. and there is a man on my side.. and he said he's my father. I don't know who he is because I haven't seen him before, Mom. And I felt so happy." He said .

"Okay, baby. I'm giving Uncle Zach a chance and if it went good, he can be your father. So is it okay if Uncle Zach and Mom went on a date later and we'll leave you on Mamu' house for a while?" I said.

"Okay,Mom. Let me take a bath now , Mom." he said and I nodded. He went to the bathroom and he locked it.

My son is only 3 years old, turning 4, but he wants me to treat him as 12 years old. He's acts like a teenager. He doesn't want me to see him naked. My boy is growing fast!

It's already 7;50 and Marko and I are already prepared. I'm just wearing a skinny jeans and a floral t-shirt. Zach said that I can wear comfortable clothes so I wore this.

My son is very excited to see his Mamu (Zach's Mom).He called her Mamu because that's what Margareth wants.

Few minutes ago, Zach arrived and he was holding a bouquet of pink tulips. Aww. He knows what my favorite flower is.

"For the beautiful lady." He gave me the flowers and I saw his cheeks turn red.

"Why are you blushing, Zach?" I asked and his cheeks only turn redder this time. He touch his neck and he turned around and he covered his face with both of his hand.

"Stop teasing me, Sofia." He said smiling and he took my hand and Marko's and we went to his car.

It was 20 minutes from my apartment to his house. All I can hear is his stereo's song and no one's talking. But it's not awkw son is awkward at all. My son is playing on his iPad.

"Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way

Love's in the air tonight

You can bet you make this ol' boy's day

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way"

Wait, I know this song. Zach always sings this song to me. Did he played this song on purpose? He always sings this whenever I can't sleep. He's just so sweet.
