the men of my life

chapter 9

On the same night, Kamilla called her friend and told her that she and Matt would call to her place by ten in the morning so that Robbie could meet his father. She wanted them to meet there because Tina knew all her secret and she is part of the force that has been keeping her on her toes.

Matt was happy as well as scared to meet Robbie. He was early to pick up Kamilla.

- Have you slept or waiting at my door all night?

- Stop teasing me, Kami. Since you have told me that my son would want to know, I have been thrilled. I don't know how to thank you.

- Don't thank me. It's not yet happen. We don't know how he will react though he said that he wanted to do so.

- Nevertheless, if you wanted to keep him from me, I would not have been able to do without any fight. I'm surprised but you are not like others, you are not selfish.

- I hope that you are not seeing any woman who would hurt my son, if so, then I'll be a selfish bitch.

- He is our son, I'll make sure that he won't be hurt. What about you? Are you seeing anyone?

- Yeah, Robbie is already acquainted with him and likes him. So far, he has not complained.

- Oh! Can we leave to Tina's place, please?

- Sure.

Together they left in the car of Matt. It was James who opened the door for them.

- Come in. Tina is upstairs, she putting Tammy to bed as she is asleep. Robbie and Timmy are playing in the garden. Do you want a drink Matt?

- Water would be fine.

- You, Kam?

- A soda would be welcomed. I haven't any since Friday.

- No, tea or water for you Kami, you are not done with your medicine, says Matt.

- You are bossy. I'll make myself a tea whilst waiting for Tina.

As soon as Tina entered the kitchen, she gave Kamilla a hug.

- Are you okay? Did you tire yourself at home? Did you take your medicine?

- Yes mom to all your queries.

- Where is Matt?

- With James in the library. I'll go and talk to Robbie.

She found Robbie and Timmy in the garden where they were playing. On seeing his mom, Robbie ran in her arm. She told him that she met with his father and latter also would to meet him.

Robbie was happy but he asked his mum whether she was okay. Kamilla put a smile on her face and says

- If you are happy son, I'm happy. I know that you have never asked me for anything that is impossible so this also is not impossible.

- Thanks mum, you are great. You will be always No. 1 for me no matter what.

- Okay, let's go and meet your father, he is in the library with Uncle James.

Both mother and son went to the library. When Matt heard the door open, he was surprised upon seeing his son. Robbie who was being eager to meet him, was the first to open his mouth.

- Hi, how are you? I'm Robbie, we met last time when I was with aunty Kat.

- Hi, I'm fine. We did not meet properly last time.

- James and I are going to the kitchen, we'll meet you later.

- Mom, please stay.

- Kami, please.

- Okay, I'll go. See you later, said James.

Both son and father were so engrossed in themselves that they did not see the tears of Kamilla. She was feeling lost. She quietly open the door and help herself out without their notice. She went directly in the garden where no one could find her. Tina who was waiting for the opening of the library's door, followed her outside.

- Don't cry Kam, it was bound to happen.

- I know but I can't help it. Robbie was making for lost time as well as Matt. I could not blame them.

- What is going to happen now?

- I told Matt that I don't want other woman to hurt my son and also that I was seeing someone whom Robbie likes.

- What did he say?

- Nothing, just tell me to leave for your place.

- May I know who you are seeing?

- Samuel, Doris brother.

- Since when?

- It has been three months.

- Since I told you to live your life

- Yes. See I have taken your advice. If I'm living a bit, I think that he also does the same. He can't be a monk.

- Have you ask him?

- No, but I have seen with different woman on his arm.

- Are you jealous?

- Me! No. This ship has already sailed. I have grown up.
