Pain behind those grey eyes

5.Reunion

Two weeks has passed since that lunch at my parent's home. Clara went to her honeymoon in Europe and It's again a lazy morning of Saturday and here I am, getting ready for another lunch at my parent's place.

I groaned while trying to button my jeans.

I really need to eat less and workout more.

I was wearing dark blue jeans with a floral top paired with my all time favourite tan coloured block heels. I know my fashion is really boring.

At last, I applied brown matte lipstick and did a last twirl infront of the mirror. As usual, I groaned in annoyance as I was not satisfied with my look. I locked my front door and made my way to the parking lot of my apartment building and unlocked my car.

I was humming to the tune of "lost in Japan" by Shawn Mendes while driving.

Finally after 40 minutes of drive, I reached my destination and parked my car. Gia opened the door and immediately pulled me into a hug.

"God...You are looking so preety Sia..."she complimented. I nervously smiled back and complimented her back. She's wearing a floral midi, and was really looking so fucking gorgeous.

We went inside together and she told me that my mom and dad are in the living room, Aiden is also there.

I went inside the living room and was shocked when I saw them, his parents.
Mr. James Parker and Mrs. Amelia Parker.

But I was more shocked when I saw a little boy sitting beside Mrs. Parker. He was looking down at his lap and was preety much lost in his own world.

I didn't knew that they were also coming.

Is he coming too?

I immediately looked at Aiden and he was intentionally avoiding my gaze.

Fuck!

"Oh My God! Is this our little Sia!" Mrs. Parker said excitedly looking at me. I smiled at her and nodded. She rushed to me and gave me bear-hug. Well I was kinda expecting this from her because she had always been a very kind and affectionate lady. I remember she also used to babysat me and Aiden in our childhood.

Then she released and kissed my forehead. "You have grown into a beautiful woman Sia."She said to me.

Then Mr. Parker also came and hugged me. He was like a second father figure for me and Aiden. "You are looking so preety Sia." He said and patted my head.

I noticed kid's gaze on me and realised that the little boy was curiously staring at me. I always loved kids, even in my teenage years, I babysat many childrens as a part time job.

I smiled a little at him and then went to sit near him. All this time, his grey eyes were looking at me with so much curiosity.

"Hey little man? I am Sia and who are you?" I asked him softly. He didn't answered me and was still looking at me with his beautiful grey eyes.

His eyes reminds me of him.

"My name is Sam." he inhaled deeply and said.

I smiled at him and cupped his chubby cheeks. He's so adorable. I really can't take my eyes off him.

"Who are you?" he asked me in his cute voice and I really don't know what came into me and I pulled him into my lap and hugged him.

"I'm your friend Sam." I said looking into his grey eyes. At this, he again looked at me with curiosity.

"Are you hungry?Do you wanna eat something?" I asked him. He nodded silently. I picked him up in my arms and was walking through the living room to go to the kitchen, when I noticed that everyone was silent and looking at us with a shocked expression while, Mrs. Parker eyes were glistening with tears.

I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

We went to kitchen and I made him sit on the chair. Then, I checked the cabinets for snacks, but there isn't anything which a kid would like to eat. Finally I looked in the freeze and found some chocolate cake.

Everyone likes chocolate right!

I cut a piece of cake and put it in a plate with a spoon. I sat near his chair and took a spoon of cake near his mouth but he didn't made any attempt to eat the cake. He was again looking at me not eating the cake.

Maybe, he get nervous in eating infront of a stranger?

An idea came to my mind and I took another spoon and ate the cake looking at him. Then I took his spoon and tried to feed him and this time he ate the cake. Again I ate the cake first and then gave it to him. We finished the next two pieces of cake like this.

Fuck! Now I don't think I'd be able to fit in my other jeans now.

I washed his mouth and hands when we're done eating. After that we went to the backyard and I tried to talk with him about his favourite toys while we're playing with a little football. I was basically trying my best to make him feel comfortable.

By now, I've realised on thing about his behaviour that that he's an extremely shy and obedient kid and takes his own time in getting familiar with any new environment.

We were still playing when Mrs. Parker came to tell us that dinner is ready. Me and Sam walked to the dinning table hand-in-hand, when I finally saw him, after 4 fucking years.

He was standing near the dinning table and currently talking with Aiden, he still hasn't noticed me standing there gawking at him. I never thought our reunion would be like this.

Something horrible stirred inside my heart making me feel nauseaus.

He was wearing white dress shirt with blue pants and was looking more mature, manly and handsome from the last I saw him.

I diverted my gaze to Sam when I felt that he left my hand and ran towards Smith and hugged his leg. He picked up Sam in his arms and hugged him back and that's when he noticed my presence.

Ofcourse!

How can I be so fucking stupid.

Smith is Sam's father.

Now, I realise why his grey eyes looked so familiar to me and reminded me of him. Anyone could notice the resemblance between them, they look so fucking similar.

I avoided his gaze and went to the kitchen. I'm not ready to face him. Why no one told me that he's also coming.

Who the fuck am I kidding? If they had told me earlier, I would never ever have come here in the first place.

What the hell was I fucking expecting then?

If his whole family is here, he would be here too.
