Pure Love

Chapter 32 John Brings Max To Meet His Side Of Family

Johns POV

After I texted Stacey I was feeling abit guilty about not letting her see Max considering I was the real reason she was away from us.

I can't help missing her and to be honest I truly regret my behaviour over the past year I honestly still love Stacey and I was hoping that this time apart would have changed her mind about the divorce but I guess not as when ever we speak it's either by text or by email and she never asks about me or how I am doing just about Max and when can she see him.

I am so glad though that she has not caused a scene and demanded to see Max. I know that she is clearly upset and has had enough of me telling her NO she can't she him at the moment but I have my reasons.

And before you ask no it's not revenge because she left, but more because I want her to miss him and me I want her to realise she has no life without me and Max.

I know what your thinking that's totally and utterly selfish of me considering I was the one who broke my vows and Stacey's heart.

After Mary left I had no choice but to hier a new nanny.

But this one ain't taking the bait she dont take no shit from me I notice that even if I try and flirt with her she shuts me down faster than I can say anything slightly condescending.

Max nanny is called Angie, Angie is one of those really tough black women that feels no way to put a man in his place.

Tomorrow I leave to go home to Chicago to see my parents who's been asking to meet their grandson ever since he was born but with everything going on with work and Stacey and I, I just didn't have the time before now.

But with Max turning one on Friday I thought a few days with my parents wouldn't kill me right?

I did consider asking Stacey to join us but I wasn't sure If she had any plans or if she would even want to be around me and my parents knowing that we are not together so I decided against asking her which means due to my choice I was gonna make her miss Max's first birthday and after some thinking and talking to Maddy I decided to change the dates and go after Max's birthday but I haven't told Stacey yet I intend on surpising her and take Max down to hers for a few days so she could spend time with him alone and then I would come back On Friday so that we could spend his birthday together.

Staceys POV

After I woke up to see Mark still sleeping I decided to go to the super market to buy some grocerys.

I slowly moved from Mark's grasp trying not to wake him but I failed miserably as soon as he felt me move he opened his eyes.

" Where you going and why are you sneaking out of bed like you just had an affiar or you woke up in a strangers bed hmm?"

" Mark I was not sneaking I just didn't want to wake you and for your information I have never had an affiar or a one night stand. I was going to take my shower so I would go to the super market and do some shopping since your staying a while and I didn't want to wake you like I said before"

" Well I am wake now so we can go together"

I looked at Mark and I wanted to decline but I decided against it when I saw how serious he looked and I just said ok and headed to the bathroom to take my shower.

After I came out the shower. Mark went in I was surpised he didn't come and join me but part of me was glad as well as I know we would of ended up having sex and I wanted to go out quickly and get back so we could enjoy our time together.

I got dressed and went downstairs to the kicthen to put on a pot of coffee when heard a knock on the door.

I went to open the door when I did I was shocked there in front of me was John holding Max and a bag.
