Danielle POV

"Text me your address, we need to talk" I said starting my car.

About an hour later, I was at his door. It was too late to change my mind, and my phone died on the spot. I take everything, got out of the car, and  go ring the house bell. I quickly remake my hair bund in the mid time of waiting for him.

Lord Jesus!! I can't believe that I came all the way to his house wearing that pitiful outfits.
A pineapple shorts, a tee tank that was showing everything, and on top of everything , a sweater that is button in front with some flip flap. I am a fashion disaster.

I was still staring at my weird outfits when I felt a gaze on me. Aki was standing right in front of me with a sweatpants, white T-shirt, and wearing some comfortable socks.

He smiles at me and open the door large enough for me to get in. Holding the sweater close and my bag to my chest, I walked in, in a very uncomfortable way.

As soon as I enter in, there was a bar with light on the floor that was projecting picture of landscape on my left and a little sitting area right next to it.

"Anything to drink?" He asks after closing the door.

"No thanks" I answer shaking my head.

He walked to the little sitting area and made a sign for me to follow him.

"You have a nice house" I said when I saw a sort of playing area on the right.

"Thanks. Let me show you around my humble demeure" he said facing me.

"Can I find a place to charge my phone first?" I ask

As he nodes, I put my bag on the chair that was next to me, connect my phone to the outlets, and start following him.

"As you can see this is my bar. All the picture that are appearing on that glass wall are from all my vacations, either for work or fun. "He says with a small smile.

"Where did you visit?" I asked

"Humm I went to all the Caribbean islands, Haiti, St kitts, St Lucia, Barbados, Antigua and a lot others. This picture is from my last cruise to Europe" he added when a picture of him with a little boy on his shoulder under the Eiffel Tower.

"And he is... " I half asked.

"His mom died in prison and she asked me to take care of him. I am his sort of caregiver." He states looking at the floor than looking back at me.

"Have you never wanted to adopt him?" I questioned holding his gaze.

" Would you want that?" He asked mostly in disbelief. "I mean if you accept we can have him in our family in about 6 to 8 months. "

I saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Does he love kids that much? Then why did he gave me something four years ago to not get pregnant. I can't really say anything, it was four years ago. People change right?

"Sorry for bringing that up to yo. you are probably thinking about divorcing me, and..." he quickly says seeing that I was not answering.

"We can talk about it." I cut him, and he nodes.

"Here" he said turning to the right, "is a playing area." When he saw me walking towards the pool table he asked "do you play?"

"Not really."

He smiles and continues. " this is a small sitting area or living room if you prefer."

Walking to the back he added, " this is my kitchen"
