♡Chapter 5♡

*Michael's Point Of View *

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I should stop trying. When she pushes me, that's when I pull her. I fall into the arm's of deceit. I gave her up once Marilyn came to me with divorce paper's, but from time to time I find myself in a hotel room. I hate it. I run from it only to be pulled back. I haven't heard from her in awhile. That was enough time for me to find a way to reach Marilyn. Luckily, she was at the market the same day I was. I wanted to give another stab at trying to fix things. But of course that plan blew up in my face. I swear when Marilyn's angry she can hold a grudge. I don't even think it's a grudge I think it's a wall. A wall she built because of me. At this point I give up. I'm just giving it a break. I walk back into the house. Jasmine is on the couch wincing while holding her stomach. I slowly walk over to her and rub her forehead. "Hey princess I brought your stuff plus a little extra", She sits up and digs into the bag after I hand it to her. "What no thank-you? ", She giggles and kisses my cheek. "Thanks Dad, Sorry for snapping my hormones are everywhere ", I nod. "Are you going to be OK?", She nods. I kiss her forehead and stand up. I walk out heading into the kitchen. I grab a water bottle out of the fridge. I sigh and sit in my bar stool. I just want a minute of peace. After five minutes, Dylan skips in. "What's up daddy-o!", Relaxation?... Yeah right!, "Nothing, Is Brandon here?", "Yeah he's upstairs", I stand up. "Have you eaten dinner? ", He shakes his head. "Ok I'll fix something in a minute", I walk out and jog upstairs. "Brandon! ", I yelled checking the room's. I find him in his old room. "Brandon? ", He was sitting on his bed looking at a picture. I slowly walk in and plop beside him. "Hey there... ", I said poking his shoulder. He continues staring at the picture. After another past moment he responds. "Can I be honest with you?", I nod. "Yeah, you can", He takes in a deep breath. "I used to hate you, Half of me still does, But I can't fully hate you, I hate that lady most of all, She is the one who made you cheat, she's the one that broke our family, So I have found new blame, I'm sorry that I hated you, I don't I still Love you, I just hat what you did, I hate loosing you as my father, for a whole year I let my resentment for you brew inside of me, It got to the point where I sometimes took it out on mom, Dad I'm sorry, I really am", He said looking up at me crying. I stare at him teary eyed. I didn't know I did this to him. I didn't know he felt this way. Of course I wouldn't I never asked. "Brandon please don't apologize, It's my fault, I'm a grown man I chose to cheat, I knew I could've stopped but I didn't, I'm the one who is Sorry", I pull him in for a long tight hug. He continues crying into my arm's. My heart is in pieces right now. His sobs turn into sniffles as he pulld back and looks at me. "Who is she?", I hesitate. I can't answer that. We just made a break through. I shake my head. ", She doesn't matter, Not at all", He doesn't seem pleased by my answer but drops it. I sigh. At lease that's one part glued back on.

*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I'm mad Yuli dragged me out here. I don't understand why she's so eager to fibd me a man. We are sitting in this little outside cafe. It's nice I will admit and the finger sandwiches are to die for. "See any takers?", Yuli asked through a full mouth. "No Yuli and I'm not looking", She groans. "Marilyn I don't care if it's a one night stand! You are going home with someone tonight! ", I glare at her. "Yuli stop, You're very loud please sto-", Mid-sentence I stop. My eye's follow his. Lost in a sea of hazel-green. Yuli waves her hand in my face saying something. I take her head and turn it to where I was looking. She gasp. "If he isn't a hunk of man I don't know who is!", I smile to myself. I will admit the man was gorgeous, With his dark short hair, and small athletic stature. My eye's scan his body. From arm's, legs, to his eye's. I shake my head. I don't even know what the hell I'm doing. I'm acting like some crazed fangirl or a teenage girl. I look back at Yuli who was smirking. "What?", Her smirk widens into a smile. "I see you have found eye candy?", I shake my head. "No, No I don't think so, I was just looking at him that's all", She looks over at his table. "Well I think you might need a closer look", "What?", She tilts her head to the side. I follow with my eye's. I quickly turn back to her. "Oh God he's walking over here!", I exclaimed standing up. Yuli laughs. "Girl sit do-", I turn to walk off but stop bumping into someone. "Hello I'm Channing",...
