Fool in Love [English]

Chapter 11

Feat. Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus

Kirk started to make his moves. He gave me flowers and took me out for a date. There were times that he would take Esahc along with us. I wouldn’t want Kirk to do all these things for me and Esahc. But seeing my son’s smile is priceless.

“Esahc, do you like this or this?” Kirk asked Esahc while holding two different toys on his hands.

“This!” Esahc pointed the remote controlled car on Kirk’s right hand.

“You know, you don’t have to do these.” I told Kirk.

Kirk handed the car to the store clerk, “I’ll pay for that.”

“Wait!” I said to the clerk. “You had given us too much already.” I said to Kirk.

“Just go to the counter, I’ll pay for that later.” Kirk said to the clerk. Kirk turned to me then he took a deep breath. “Look at your son, he looks happy.”

I looked at Esahc who happily is playing at the store’s play area.

“You are spoiling him.” I looked at Kirks eyes, “And I just don’t want to be in debt with you.”

“You are not in debt. Besides, I already asked Esahc to choose.”

“Okay. Let’s have a deal. This will be the last time that you will buy him a toy.”

“How about his birthdays or Christmas?” Kirk asked with a sheepishly smile.

“Okay, only on occasions.” I gave him my right hand. Kirk took it and shook it once.

“Deal,” he said with a smile.

Kirk paid the toy and then we left the store. A wide smile is drawn on my son’s face as he carries the paper bag with his new toy.

Kirk drove me and my son back to our house. Because of too exhaustion, Esahc fell asleep at the backseat of the car.

“He looks like an angel.” Kirk said.

“He is my angel.”

Kirk and I went out of his car. He then carried the sleeping Esahc. I slowly pulled the paper bag Esahc is holding. Esach slightly woke up when I successfully got the bag.

“Papa,” Esahc said while still half asleep.

Kirk and I looked at each other for a while. Then I started to walk because I know for sure where Kirk’s thoughts were going.

After putting Esahc on his bed, I walked Kirk outside our house.

“Thank you for everything you had given to my son. I don’t know how to repay you for making my son smile.” I said to Kirk.

“I know how.”

I looked at Kirk with a questionable expression.

“My friend’s resort at Batangas will be having a grand opening. He said he would like to see me with somebody. I would like you to be my date that night.”

Kirk has done so much for me and Esahc so I agreed. He said that the opening will be on the next weekend and we should prepare for a 3-day, 2-nights stay.

Weekend came. As what Kirk and I have agreed, he picked me up before the sun rises. I didn’t bother to wake my son up. I already told him that I’ll be going somewhere during the weekends. Esahc wanted to come but I didn’t allow him. So it was better to leave while he is still sleeping.

It is a 4-hour ride, so we made a stop at a gas station to eat breakfast first.

“Here is yours,” Kirk gave me a plate with a sausages and pancakes. Then he placed a cup of hot brewed coffee beside the plate.
