She's The Winning Piece

Chapter 8: "Little boy, where are your parents?"

I just started school and I'm loving it because its been really welcoming.

I'll be resuming into the boarding house, this Wednesday. I've not really made friends considering I just resumed.

Buh school's over now. I'm currently waiting for my mums driver to come pick me up.

I walked to a bench in the parking lot and I saw a cute little baby boy walking to me smiling.

"Aw. Whose child is this? Baby, come over here" I carried the little boy and was playing with him.

He wasn't even crying, he was giggling and I was really comfortable with that.

"Little boy, where are your parents? Why would they leave a cute angel like you wandering off?" I asked the baby.

Even though I'm fully aware he didn't understand me but I still enjoyed talking to him.

"Jacob! Jacob! Where have you run off to again? a voice of a distressed woman called out from a distance.

"My little boy where are you? Come to mama" she cries out more.

"Oh my gosh. That must be your mum. She's worried sick. Let's get you back to her" I carry him up to his mum.

"Thank you so much dear. Where did he wander off to?" his mum thanked me.

"I was in my school's parking lot and he came to me" I explain.

"And he didn't disturb you or cry? Wow.. he must really like you. Maybe you can consider working for me?" she joked.

"Wow but no thank you. Wait.. so he doesn't like you either?" I ask.

"Of course he does but he strangely prefers his dad" she smiles at the thought of that.

"Aw you have such a lovely child but I have to let him go cause I'll soon be off" I hand Jacob to her.

I locked Jacob's cheek and he giggled. "Bye love" I wave and wink at him.

"Ashley, Jacob! Where did you guys go to?" an obviously well built, tall, corporately dressed, dark-skinned man talked.

"Baby, your little mischief wandered off but this time I didn't find him crying, an angel picked him up" she compliments me.

He said, "oh really and he didn't annoy her with his none ending cries. Jacob, you've changed.

"I swear. Let's be off. Thank you dear, I didn't catch your name?" she smiled at me.

"Jasmine" I smiled back. Then the husband finally looks up from his phone and takes off his shades in awe.

He looked at me from head to toe, scanning me fully. I started feeling weirdly insecure and naked.

"Uh excuse me. You're making me feel really uncomfortable and I'll like you to stop" I said bluntly.

He didn't stop but then his mouth went agape. I was still confused cause he was creeping me out.

"Uhm baby. Let's go" his wife called him. "Um Antonio love. I said let's go" Ashley told him again.

Wait wait what? Why didn't I notice this earlier? I look deep into his eyes to check if this is who I think it is.

I see the chestnut brown eyes like my mum then the jet-black hair like my dad and the scar with a story on his left eyebrow. Then, I stare at the bracelet he gave me 3 years ago.

Before I could get a word out. He was already staring at the bracelet too. But he already spoke, "Amelia, how I've dreamt of this day for so long. So you kept the bracelet?" he smiled and tried to hug me.

Really? After more than three years, he sees me and his brain cells tell him the next thing is to hug his little sister who he so much traumatized. Whoa

"Yes I had to but don't you dare touch me Antonio, you disgust me!" I yell at him
