"Come on Macy" Jake shouted from the kitchen. I was in my room getting ready. Today was the day that hopfully I could meet Cody face to face, introduce him to his own son he doesn't know about. We were going to grab something to each, then go bowling. I slipped on http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?.svc=twitter&id=49491452 and headed towards the kitchen, where Jake and Robert were yelling "Mommy, Mommy, hurry up". I smiled as Robert ran into my arms and hugged me.
"Mommy, I'm so excited. I'm going to see daddy.. finally" he yelled in excitement. I smiled and looked over at Jake, who was waving at us to leave. Of course I was scared to see him. I didn't know what he'd say or do when he finds out about Robert. Jake didn't tell Cody that I was coming, but he did say that he was bringing somebody he'd remember. My hands were shaking as i buckled Robert into his car seat. His Little hands rested on mine, which caused me to stop.
"What's wrong, Mommy?" he asked, patting my hands. I shook my head and smiled. I kissed his soft forehead as I finished the final snap.
"I want you to know that your dad loves you with all his heart. Me, on the other hand, not so much." i whispered, trying not to cry as i remembered the night he left me. Robert looked at me and looked down at our hands.
"Is it because of me?" he whispered, hurt. Great. Now he thinks his idiot dad left me because of him.
"No.No.No.No" I cried. "He left because he got caught doing something he wasn't suppose to be doing. He loves you way to much, he just doesn't realize it. OK. now turn that frown upside down, and lets go have funn.' I smiled, kissing his forehead again and shutting the door. He yelled out in excitement. I just chuckled to Jake, who was just now getting in car. He looked at me funny.
'What?" he smiled that confused smile. I looked at Robert, who starting laughing. Jake just sat there, still not getting it. "You look mighty dressy for just a quick dinner and bowling. I think someone is trying to in press somebody else..." Jake sung. I gripped my steering wheel and gave Jake the evil eye.
"How? This is how I always dress" I defended myself. The boys just laughed. I couldn't help but laugh with them.
'I was going to say that mommy, but thought you would get mad at me. Thank you Uncle Jake." Robert said from the backseat. Jake welcomed Robert as I laughed harder. Maybe I was alittle dressed up, but I was comfortable. That's all that matters. Jake was giving all the directions because I had no clue to were to go. We pulled up at McDonald's. What? I thought we were going somewhere fancy.
"What the he-.. I mean.. Why are we here?" I yelled. Robert was in the back seat, kicking and screaming, trying to get out of his car seat. Jake got out and undid it for me.
"I didn't want to do anything to big so fast. Plus, Robert wanted to play in the play area." he looked at Robert, who was pulling my hand dragging me inside. I noticed a tall, blond hair, aqua colored eyed boy aproach Jake. Crap. He's here. Robert looked around, still holding my hand. Cody and Jake did their little hadn shake while I went to order.
"Dude... Who is that?" I heard Cody ask Jake.I turned around to see Cody looking me up and down. I I rolled my eyes and asked Robert what he wanted, then order our food.
"Really Cody? You don't remember her?" Jake asked Cody, as they headed towards the table I decided to sit at. Jake shook his head in disbelief. I let out a loud sigh, and picked up a piece of chicken I ordered. Robert put his little hand on my leg, that was bouncing up and down.
"Is that him?' He whispered. I looked at Cody the same time he looked at me. He smiled and I returned it with the roll of the eyes.
"Yea sweety. That's him.." I looked at him again. Cody's head popped up.
"I'm what?" he asked, giving me the look. He stuff his face with his food, still looking at me.
"One of my... friends.." I cringed at the word friend. He wasn't no where near my friend. Jake noticed the tension and fake coughed. Robert looked at me funny.
"No.. I thought that was daddy. Is he?'" he asked. Cody dropped his food and looked at me. I heard the entrance door open and high heels coming our way.
"Cody.. babe.. I'm here.." a girly voice sounded. My eyes were locked on Cody's and his eyes were locked on mine. "Babe?" I heard again. Cody broke our gaze, and looked up at the girl.
'Kylie.. What's up?" he asked. She hugged him tightly and pecked his lips. Robert quitely 'ewww'd' and I looked at Jake. He chuckled at Robert's remark and went serious when he saw my face. Kylie whispered something in Cody's ear and he nodded.
"Guys.. This is Kylie, my girlfriend." he swallowed at the word girlfriend, kind of scared to say it. I shook my head and got up from the table and grabbed Robert's hand. Jake's foot popped out from underneath the table.
"Where are you going" he asked, standing up. I was his ride, so if i left he'd have to ride with Cody.
"Home. I can't stay here. I thought I could do it but I can't. i'm sorry." I cried. Tears flowed down my face. Robert lifted his arms in the air, wanting me to pick him up, which I did. We walked to the car, when I heard my name being called. i ignored it and kept trucking to the car. I opened the door, when somebody quickly shut it.
"Macy?" I heard my name. That voice sent shivers down my spine. I turned around to see Cody.
"Oh great. What do you want?" I snapped at him. His eyes widen, and he let out a long soft sigh.
"What was that back there. Daddy? What is he talking about?" he asked. I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he really wanted to know.
"Why don't you just go back to Kylie. Why are you even talking to me? I thought you hated me?" I recalled, remembering that night.
"That girl, my magenment is making me date her. I don't like. She's always complaining. Why arent you doing this? Why arent you doing that? She drives me insane. You know... the boy kind of looks like me. That is what she whispered in my ear at the table. Is he mine?" he asked, stepping closer to me, putting a strand of hair behind my ear.
I fake coughed, stepping away. "Yea" I looked down, "He's 100% yours" I reassured him. The biggest smile came across his face. He ran to the side Robert was on.
"Hey there little buddy." Cody hugged him. Robert was scared and looked at me. I smiled, telling him it's ok. Robert hugged him tight around the neck yelling, "DADDY!!"
***********************
"Why did you leave me?" Cody asked as he buckled Robert in his car seat. I had agreed to go to the mall with just Cody. Jake told me he'd go home. I don't even know what happen to Kylie. She just... disappeared.
"Really?' i chuckled in disbielf. "I caught you with Kylie and don't make up some stupid excuse ans say you didn't, cause you did, I saw you with my own two eyes." I pleaded. He put on a serious face.
"I'm sorry." he sounded sad. I sighed and looked up at the ceiling.
"No your not. Your just sorry you go caught." I scoleded him. He grabbed my hand, but I pulled away. "You told me you hated me, then left at 16 pregnant. You never gave me the chance to tell you." I tried not to cry. "I still have mixed feelings about you, not going to lie. But how do you think I feel, when you go and get famous. You forgot about me. You never tried to get in contact with me for THREE FREAKING YEARS CODY! THREE YEARS" I hit the point. He just mad me so mad sometimes.
"I'm sorry. You know I loved you so much. When I said that, I didn't mean it. Your are my world, so is Robert now. I didn't call you because I knew you wouldn't talk to me. I loved you and still do." he tried to plead his case.
"Then why did you cheat?'" I comfronted him.
"I was inmature then. I didn't know what I was doing. I thought Iwas being cool. But when you left, it felt as if my whole world fell apart, which it did cause yo were gone."
"Cody..." I tried to take in his words.
"I love you..." he smiled. "Always will and always have. That's never going to change." he said confidently.
