X. Unknowingly Loving Her

Zeus

I saw Selena walked down the hallway after the deliberation that we had for the budget allotment. Tsk! This girl has some to die for ass! I smirked.

"Dude! No set of new jerseys?" Caleb told me, disappointed.

"Yeah, I lost it. We'll just have to get additional pairs for the rookies but no new set for the rest of us. Blame it on her." I swayed my head gesturing the guys to follow the direction Selena was headed.

"Oh! And you let it go? You gave in just like that?" He asked, yeah, Caleb's stupid. He's all balls and muscles.

"Well, the other club heads agreed with her. Everybody now gets an equal part of the budget except of course the council who's ready with all the projects laid out." I answered already thinking of getting Maximus take care of our jerseys and shoes.

"Come on, he said. I'll have you get even." He said and even before I get to acknowledge what he was thinking he walked fast to catch up on Selena. I followed him not knowing what's playing on his head.

We got to catch up with Selena and the rest of the council. They were busy discussing some wall repainting to cover the vandalism on the wall when Caleb, in a split second slapped Selena's butt cheek and ran leaving me alone to face her. Shit!

I could die right now if Selena could throw fire balls from her eyes.

"You pervert!" She spatted at me. I didn't move. I can't say anything. I was caught off guard and the whole student council were there.

She was about to slap me when my reflexes took action. It just came to strong though. I just wanted to grab her arm to stop her from slapping me but I ended up nailing her on the wall.

That was the first time I got to look at her closely. She had beautiful hazel brown eyes that hid under her bangs. Her beautiful golden brown locks accentuated her face.

She gasped for air and I smelled her breath, they were the sweetest breath ever. I leaned closer to smell her. She had this vanilla scent wanting me to nibble on her slowly, bit by bit.

I felt some sort of an energy, pulling me over to her. She closed her eyes, she must have felt what I wanted to do. I wanted to kiss her.

"Woohoo! Hawks! Hawks!" Caleb along with the basketball team cheered.

"Come on, man!" Caleb told me. Putting his arm on my shoulders. "I guess that's enough for Ms...? Flores was it?" He mocked her. "Not to interfere with the Hawks." He said and they continued chanting until we exited the hall not knowing what happened next.

"Ahhh!" I screamed at the memory of how the war between me and Selena began.

"Are you okay, sir?" Asked the driver as we entered the building to my apartment.

"Yeah, take the day off." I told him. I needed this day to think things over. I needed confirmation on what I saw and what I have missed in the past.

There is no way my intuition is wrong. Zoey is my daughter. She's all Selena but her eyes, those eyes are mine.

I know I wasn't just horny that night. It wasn't just the alcohol. I really wanted her that night. It might not have been the right setting but that would most likely be the only chance I was ever going to get with her. I had been debating on this over and over since that night happened and its just now that I have actually come into a conclusion, I am with all of my manhood attracted to Selena. No, I have fallen deeply inlove with her even from back then. My egoistic self denied me of that truth and I want that ironed out now. Especially right now that I have a daughter - Zoey.

But why didn't she tell me about it? Did she hate me that much? Sure, I may not have been prepared but its not like I can deny my own daughter of my name and the right to be a Jacobs. She is at her every inch deserves the wealth and the life of a Jacobs. Selena alone can give her that. That, I won't argue with but she could have had a lot more.

I want her to know me. I want them both to be with me. I want a family, a family that I can only see myself having with Selena.

Wait, Zoey knows Zach. May be he can help anwer my questions.

I took my phone and dialed Zach's number. Fuck! Its out of reach. I tried to dial him again but I always get the same voice prompt.

What if I find out from Selena herself? But she stopped me. Is she going to deny me of having my daughter? Is she going to deny her of knowing me as her father. Is she going to deny me of herself? Its driving me crazy but I knew that the best I could do is to wait.

Yes, I'll just have to wait.

"I thought you were Uncle Zach. You looked like him." Zoey's voice echoed in my head.

"Come here, sweety." I called her but she didn't hear me. "Zoey!" I called her again. She stopped and turned her head on me.

"Dad?" She called me dad! "Dad!" She called me again. She was about to take a step towards me but she was stopped. Selena stopped her.

Zoey was crying that she had to go. She had to go with her mom, Selena... and Zach. They are a family.

"You looked like him."

"Oh, Zach, you're such a charmer."

"By the way, I love the new sheets."

"When are you planning to break the news to everyone?"

"What's the size of your ring finger?"

Their voices echoed simultaneously. It was too much to take. It was deafening until they stopped talking. They all stared at me. Zoey waived her hand saying goodbye.

"No, Zoey, its dad. Don't go. Selena! Don't go!" I screamed.

I woked up soaked in my own sweat even with the airconditioning unit working in full blast.

I was having a bad dream, no, I just had the worst nightmare ever. But what if its true? What if my Selena and my Zoey have found themselves a family with Zach?

I sat up and roamed my eyes around the living room where I have fallen asleep. My eyes met an amber colored liquor kept in a fancy looking bottle. That's it. Scotch should calm me down while I wait for tomorrow.
