Not Your Average Love Story

Chapter 35 : Bitter

Chapter 35 : Bitter

** Deion's POV **

After I got off work Wednesday I walked into my home and was greeted by my son.

"Daddy! Hi Daddy, I missed you."

"Hey little dude. Missed you more!," I yelled, pulling him up into my arms.

I spun him around crazily as he giggled and played with my beard.

"I had some chik nuggets earlier today and French fries," Karter yelled.

"Wow that sounds delicious. Where's mine?"

He looked at his feet and stared back up at me shrugging his shoulders.

I laughed harder by the minute.

He was only 4 but he had so much humor inside of him, he could make anyone around him fill with joy instantly.

"I'm kidding buddy did you have a good day at school?"

"Yup! I'm learning so much I love my school daddy."

He had recently started VPK and was always excited to come and tell me about what he had learned.

It was a big change for him but he was very happy to get into an actual school, so that made me feel more confident with it.

"I'm glad you love school buddy you're so smart!," I told him.

He grinned and ran back into the living room to continue his coloring he was doing.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a Fiji water bottle from the fridge before sitting down on a nearby bar stool.

"Hey honey how was your day?," my mom greeted me.

"It was good mama. How you doing?," I asked.

"I'm doing okay. Just put some lasagna in the oven for everybody."

My mom randomly came by and helped out with things, it was just always something she liked to do and I always showed her unconditional love for all she does.

"I'm so hungry that sounds perfect."

"You know Karter's birthday is coming up real soon you have any ideas?"

I had been thinking of that secretly for months.

"I'm thinking of some stuff mama."

He would be turning 5 this year and it would be the first year without his mom planning everything for his big day.

When she showed up to my job earlier she was talking a lot of shit, some things I didn't want to upset Naomi with so I hadn't talked with her about fully.

During the divorce process I was granted full custody of Karter.

Yvonne had been bitter and thought at the time that was best but now she came around saying she was having second thoughts.

She wasn't genuinely interested in Karter she was wanting to use him as a pawn to work her way back in with me, which would never happen.
