SOULMATES

THERE'S A SECRET?

21.
PRESENTLY ..
PERCY'S POV..

I stirred directly at Louis and asked him,

"Do you think my sins are forgiveable?"

He sighed and slumped into the wall. He rubbed his hands through his hair.

"So she doesn't know? You never told her why you had to stay away from her?".

He asked and I shook my head.

"I never saw her after the night we had sex. I let her believe I used and dumped her. It was part of the agreement with the boys. That was the reason I never had to make contact"

Recounting this incident left an awful taste in my mouth.

"Honestly, you don't deserve her forgiveness. Thinking of all the pain she went through all these years,I'm not surprise she's acting like you're dead. But you know, where there's love,everything is possible. You don't have to try defending yourself, you don't have to lie or blame anyone. all you need is to fight for your love. Make her know you are sorry and you still love her and nothing.... Is going to stop you!"

"Not even having a child with another man." I said. It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yea,and you should know it's not gonna be easy because this requires choosing you who brought nothing but pain and sorrow to her over Harold who has always been there for her...you can imagine."

"Hmmmm, honestly I wish I could give up. But I can't. I have tried to forget about her and it's simply impossible!"

He stood up and tapped my shoulder,

"Have faith bro. I believe the universe is on your side. How else do you explain this huge coincidence; ending up here after all these years. This is God giving you a second chance. Good night." And with this he threw himself down on the bed...

PHOEBE'S POV..

It was a new day and a wave of panic blew over me immediately I stepped out of my room. I walked to Xavia's room which was ajoined to mine and sat by him on the bed.
God! He looked so much like him! It was just a matter of time and Percy would know he was his. How was he going to take it?.

"Mummy.." He stared from his sleep.

"Good morning baby.. Time to prepare for school."

Getting him ready for school has always been a war.

"Have you seen uncle Percy this morning?" He asked as he took his bath.
My head snapped up and I stared at him for a while. He stared back.

"No.........why do you ask? "

he shrugged and got out of the bath tub.We run into percy at the button of the stirs and he left my hand and ran to him. Some dark forces were really testing my patience.

" Hei big boy,how do you do." Percy said

"I slept off before you finished the story. Did the princess find a friend to play with?"

" yea she did."

This was so irritating.

"Enough already Xavia.let's go or I'll be late." I said and walked pass them.

"See you after school uncle Percy" I heard him say and ran after me.

And who told him to call him uncle? I wanted to snap at him anytime he said it but how do I explain to a three year old that the man he was growing fond of was his mother's worse nightmare.

*And his biological father but i didn't want him to know that*

I mentally rolled my eyes at the thought.
