New Journey

Chapter 7

Next day.

Zabdiel's P.O.V

I looked out the window, holding Cyrus in my arms looking at the sunrise. I looked down at Cyrus and let out a sniff knowing that today was the day.

His eyes which looked like a mixture of me and his mother looked at me with so much awe knowing who I was but I wasn't going to get that look ever again.

"It's three in the morning."Amal said as she let out a yawn, stood behind me. "He still isn't asleep?"

I turned around to see her in one of my tshirts and a pair of grey joggers, her hair just a mess but looked ever so beautiful and her eyes slowly closing stood by the door frame.

"I've got him, you go back to sleep."I said with a smile on my face. "You look really tired."

She let out a yawn and looked at me. "Where did you get that idea from?"

I let out a soft chuckle and looked at her. "Just go back to sleep."

She walked over to me and Cyrus, she placed a kiss on his forehead then looked up at me.

She left a kiss on the side of my jaw and looked at me as her finger stroked my jaw. "You are going to come back to bed aren't you?"

"As soon as I put him down to sleep."I replied with a nod as I looked at her.

She nodded. "Bueno noches."She said as she looked at me then we kissed, I pulled away knowing that she had to go sleep and if I kissed her second longer knowing that I couldn't leave her.

She looked at me. "You are okay aren't you?"

"I'm fine, just go back to sleep mi amor."I said with a smile on my face.

"You look good with a shadow."She whispered as she looked at me.

"Thank you, now you go to sleep it looks like you need it."

She let out a fake gasp. "Seriously Zabdiel?"

"You know what I meant."I said with a another soft chuckle, then I pressed my lips against her forehead.

"I love you."I whispered with so much passion in my voice wanting her to know that I mean it so much.

She looked up at me and smiled. "I love you too."

I looked at her. "Go sleep, I'll join you as soon as I put him down."

"Yeah I will."She said with a nod then she walked to the door but turned over her shoulder. "Bueno noches besos."

"Besos."

Then she left, leaving me and Cyrus in the room all alone. I looked down at Cyrus, his eyes slowly closing.

"I know you won't remember this but I really didn't want to do this."I said as I looked at him. "You don't know how much I want to stay right now but I can't and I'm not going to risk your safety or your mums."

I let out a sigh and I looked at him as his eyes fully shut. "I love you."I whispered as I kissed his cheek. "More than you'll ever know."

I placed him in his cot and looked at him one last time then turned around. I walked over to the rocking chair and pulled out my suitcase from behind.

I pulled out the evenlope from the back pocket and walked over to the crib, I placed it just at the end of the crib hoping she would see it.

I turned around and walked out of the nursery, I walked quietly downstairs into the hallway to see Erick and Joel stood there with their suitcases.

"Why the fuck are we awake at three in the morning for?!"Erick asked loudly as he looked at me.

"Shush! We don't need to wake up Amal or Cyrus do we?"Joel replied in a whisper.

"Why aren't they here saying bye at least?"Erick added as he raised his eyebrow.

"Because she's tired and I just managed to put Cyrus down."I replied as I looked at him. "They need their sleep."

Chris walked in with a jar of Nutella and a spoon. "What the fuck are we doing up at three in the morning?"

"Why the fuck do you have a jar of Nutella in your hands at three in the morning?"

"Shut up Zabdiel."Chris said as he rolled his eyes at me. "You are the reason why we are awake."

"Renato called me, our flight is leaving in two hours time and he wants us at the airport."I explained as I looked at them. "He wants us there now and Richard is going to meet us there."

"So we better hurry up."Joel said with a nod.

"I'm taking the Nutella jar."Chris said as he looked at me. "Amal has two others I don't think she'll miss it."

"Hurry up because the taxi is waiting outside."I said as I rolled my eyes at him.

-

"What's wrong with you?"Chris asked as he looked at me.

"Nothing."

"Why are you lying for?"Chris said as he raised his eyebrow. "Just tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing is."

"Zabdiel dè Jesus you better fucking tell me what's wrong you know."Chris said as he looked at me with a glare. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is."

"I'm not getting anywhere with this tarodo!"Chris exclaimed as he got up from the bed throwing his hands in the air. "I'm just getting nothing."

"Just leave him alone."Erick said as he looked at Chris, wrapped in a blanket. "He's probably tired."

"Everyone is fucking tired but none of us are acting like him are we?"Chris said as he looked at Erick.

Erick just looked at him plainfully then closed his eyes falling into a peaceful slumber.

Renato walked in and looked at me. "Zabdiel, I need you for a few mintues."

"Let's see if Renato can find out what's wrong with him."Chris said as he rolled his eyes.

I rolled my eyes at him and got up form the bed then walked out into the hallway with Renato.

Renato looked at me. "I heard what happened."

"What happened now?"I said as I looked at him, my hand at the back of my neck. "I did everything you asked for."

"You know what happened."Renato said sternly as he looked at me.

"Tell me Renato what happened because I'm not in the mood to guess."

"You and Joel went to Mr Jackman's office and did all sorts didn't you?"Renato said as he raised his eyebrow. "Throwing around threats and threatened to end his life?"

"WHAT?!"

He looked at me. "Did you and Joel go or not?"

I looked at him. "You believe we did that?"

"I don't know what to believe these days Zabdiel, ever since that girl has entered your life you've changed."

I don't know what happened at that moment, I pushed Renato against the wall and looked at him. "You are not allowed to mention her name or my son's."

"Zabdiel!"
