Kai's Promise

New Addition?

Lock

What am I gonna do with that kid? I don't wanna be harsh on him, but that little fucker needs to learn. He was never like this until he met that girl and I hate it. I hate the way he talked back, just like how I do. His breath reeked of alcohol along with his sorrowful eyes. All this over a girl? Yea, I raised him to be like me, but bloody hell not to use it against me. The way he looked me dead in the eye and told me I don't scare him. That's not Kai. Kai and I were always close, so I know my kid. When he was little, yea, he got sad with me, but we always apologized to each other in the end.

"I know you hate me right now, but Kai I'm sorry you had to hear me and mommy fight, we both didn't mean any of the words we said" I kneel in front of him and put my hand on his cheek.

He hugs me tightly and I wrap my arms around his little fragile body. "I don't hate you daddy. I don't like when you and mommy fight... it scares me that you're gonna hate each other" he tugs onto my shirt. He doesn't hate me...

But this was different. We didn't hug each other and apologize for the things we did, no I slammed him into a wall.

He laughs and looks me dead in the eye, "you". He smirks and my face turns into a scowl. I move my head closer to his so we're now forehead to forehead without dropping eye contact. "You. Don't. Scare. Me" his smirk grows and my blood boils.

I push him into the brick wall behind him then pin him hard. Our faces are only an inch from each other and his expression turns into fear. My lips curve up like a growling dog that's about to bite. "Be scared" i raise my hand up, making him move his head as he flinches. I'd never hurt Kai, it's just to scare him.

He's become so distant... cold. Like how I was when Luke died, but I was worse. He's just being an idiot teenager in love. Never was I prepared for the day he came home and told us he's in love. Never. Just gotta accept the fact that he's not so little anymore...

With that thought, I walk up into Butterfly and I's room then plop down onto the bed next to her. "I know something that might help him" I turn to her and she raises an eyebrow. "A puppy?" I say hesitantly. Wow. Never thought I'd hear that again. Ever since Maximus passed, I never thought I'd find myself asking for another dog... well it's not for me, for Kai. "It's been long enough babe... it hurts me so much and I know it hurts you... but maybe it could give him a reason to come home after school and not g-" I stop myself. She can't know what went down just now or else she would flip out.

"If you think we're ready... but I'm never going to see it as Maximus" she cuddles up on my chest and traces my muscle lines.

"No, never..." I kiss her head. "I still can't believe he admitted to loving her... I mean we seen it coming, but wow" I say with a surprised tome. She chuckles and kisses my cheek. "Goodnight" I wrap my arm around her.

"Goodnight baby" she gets comfortable and falls asleep. If you told me years ago I'd be fall love, I'd laugh my ass off. I'd say I'd never be in love, girls are pathetic that  they just wanna date a hot guy. My dad especially made me never want to be like him, hurt women... so I stayed away from them because if I approached one that annoyed me, I would've sure as hell killed her.

But here I am. Married to the love of my life who gave me a chance. If you told me years ago I'd have a kid, id get annoyed with you and probably rip your throat out. But here I am, father to the most wonderful fucking son that the love of my life carried for me.
