Love Kills

CHAPTER 5: First Steps Into Parenthood

The next morning I woke up around 6:00 am and when I went into the living room Emma was laying on the couch with her son I rubbed her arm and when she looked up at me I told her she should take her son into my room and they could sleep on my bed. So she got up picked up her son and headed to my room, then I started to make a batch of coffee and a few minutes after that Emma came out of my room and thanked me for watching her son for her that night. I told her it was really no problem and she cut me off again and told me it was a big deal to her and told me she "loved" me. I looked into her sparkling blue eyes and said, "I love you too." She gave me a big hug and kissed my cheek. we sat down at the kitchen table and had some coffee, "look Emma, I really do love you," I said "with all my heart, but there's something you don't know about me." I said she looked at me with a confused worried expression on her face and asked, "what don't I know about you?" she asked I looked at her with guilt and said, "I'm a spy," she looked at me and said "really, what's actually going on" I just looked at her and said "I'm not kidding I'm an actual spy and for some reason your name is on my hit list." She looked at me with fury in her glare, "so either your lying which this isn't funny at all, or your telling the truth and the whole us being in love thing was a cruel trick you played on me to lower my awareness and take me out," and before I could say anything else she had grabbed her kid and was already backing up in her car. Then my fair maiden was gone for third time since I met her. 3 months later when I gave up searching for her I went back to the grocery store we met at because I was out of food and needed groceries, and there standing at the register with her son and some guy was Emma Miller. I walked over to her and asked if I could talk to her for a minute. she replied sure and I pulled her away from whoever she was with. "Who's he ?" I asked "oh him" she said  pointing to the strange man, "he's someone who cares about me, also known as my fiancé." she said I looked at her and said, "alright if that's how you want to be then fine, but to say I didn't care about you is a complete lie if I didn't care about you then why would I stand up for you to your husband or watch your son voluntarily when I have no child experience or even tell you about your name being on my hit list. I did these things BECAUSE I care about you not because I don't, and for you to say these things to me is just cruel so be how you want because deep down you know the truth and so do I." I turned around to walk away when she grabbed my arm and said, "Andrew wait, your right deep down I do know you care about me and deep down I know I care about you this man I'm with isn't really my fiancé he's just some guy I found outside and paid to pose as my fiancé." I looked her right in the eyes and said, "I know" she looked at me and said, "wait you knew, how?" I observed her for a few moments before saying, "next time, make sure your not the only one wearing a ring" she looked at me with surprise than looked at the mans' hands before laughing and saying, "yea, that would probably be a good idea huh?" then she gave me a big hug and kiss before telling the man he could go. She told her son to c'mon and asked if they could come back to my place I said, "always," then we got in the car and headed to my house.
