THE HYBRID: PRIME'S HEAT

THE HYBRID: PRIME'S HEAT- CHAPTER FOURTEEN

LAYLA’S P.O.V

Waking up wasn’t easy for me, the party had ended a little late, coupled with that, Dart woke me up in the middle of the night just to say “goodnight”. I swear he really is crazy; he says one thing and does another. He told me to go home the other night but came back here and got me up to bed, he said we were just friends but he acted so not like we were just friends when that guy hurt me mistakenly. last night after he refused to drop me off at home, he still called later in the night to tell me goodnight.

'What is his problem?’ I mumbled sitting up on my bed. I hope today goes better than yesterday did,as if on cue a sleepy looking Dax walked into my room, he was rubbing his eyes, and he looked so cute and lovely.

'hey pumpkin, how are you?’ I lifted my arms motioning for him to climb up the bed and hug me. He threw his pillow on the floor and then proceeded to hug me, I felt all motherly and warm though the hug was on a sleepy side. We both had a late night yesterday and it sure did deserve to be a late night. For Christ sakes it was my freaking birthday.

'Good m’rning mum,’ he mumbled close to my neck.

'Hey baby, how are you? Sleep well?’ he nodded in reply. I grabbed the remote from my nightstand and switched the television on, he giggled when SpongeBob came on and he loved Nickelodeon Jnr and the cartoon characters in them.

'hey baby, let me go wash my face, I’ll be back okay?’ I kissed his head inhaling his innocent baby scent in the process. He nodded once more in reply.

'Can I go stay with Daddy, I don’t want to go fishing with Caesar, and killing fish is no fun’ Dax asked as I got to the door leading to the bathroom. I turned to get a good look at him, how come fishing with Caesar was no more fun, his lower lip had jutted out in a pout and his eyes were pleadingly huge, I swear if I keep falling for his trick I won’t be able to keep up. Why couldn’t I say no to Dax?

Just like you can’t stay mad at Dart! My sub offered, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I guess.

'Pleaseeeee!!!’ he raised his hands in front of him in a gesture of prayer, 'I’ll be a good boy, I won’t talk too much, I promise I’ll be good!!’

'sweetie what if……..’ he dropped his head in defeat. I felt like a mean mum.

'Okay okay, I’ll give him a call after this, just let me wash my face!’

'Yay! Thanks mum, you’da best!!’ he screamed jumping up and down on the bed and just  as fast as lightening he made up a we-are-going-to-daddy’s-jig, complete with dance and all. I smiled at him making my way to the bathroom. I just hope Dart does not disappoint my son…….and I.

Here I was on my way to the office with a disappointed Dax in tow, I called Marcy and terminated Dax’s date with Caesar, but I learnt that was a mistake later on because when I called Dart I got the machine, he wasn’t at home. Bart wasn’t at home, looks like he had a deal to close early this morning before coming for work and as such he wasn’t at home to take Dax out. Imagine how disappointed my son was, I had to please him by taking him with me to the office. Taking care of him won’t be difficult, besides Dorcas had a soft spot for him; she slipped him candies when she thought I wasn’t watching, so I guess I’ll just let her have her fun with him today and spoil him all she wants.

'mummy are you gonna call him again?’ Dax asked just as we stepped into the office complex.

'Sweetie am going to call him later in the day,’ I glanced at him, he looked very sad and disappointed, damn you Dart! I sighed, I knelt down in front of taking his chubby face in my hands, “ hey sweetie, maybe  he was out running or he was with grandpa Lionel, but I left a message for him, he’s going to call me back when he gets   the message, is that okay honey?” he looked happy when he spoke this time around.
