Adagio

Chapter 11

After the recital was over , everyone wanted to talk to my son. He was the center of attention and he deserved it.

The teachers told me that they were scared for a minute out there, but they thanked me for stepping in.

Everyone told me that I have an amazing son.

In my heart I told them ' It's about time you noticed.' But I shut my mouth not to spoil the moment.

But the time arrived to go home and to talk to the only person I don't wanna speak too.

When I opened the door , Ace was sitting on the kitchen chair.

He glanced at me than at Coda.

" Go change Coda , I will explain everything, when you are clean and washed." I said smiling and shook his hair.

He nodded and ran to the bathroom.

" Don't run!" I yelled.

Suddenly I heard a loud thump.

I slapped my head and sighed.

" Are you okay?"

He came in running in the room and nodded.

" Don't run , you know how many times you slipped?"

He nodded and shook his head , turning around , walking very slowly.

" Don't mock me mister , walk normally."

He turned and grinned , than walked off.

I sighed.

Ace put his hand on his mouth.

" Don't laugh."

He nodded but burst into laughter.

Jace couldn't help himself and started to laugh too.

I sighed and made myself a drink.

Jace grabbed a beer from the fridge and gave one to Ace.

After gulping down the drink , I sat down.

" Are you gonna tell me what's going on?" Ace said.

I looked at my hands.

" I can't remember that night either."

Ace sighed and rubbed his neck.

" What night are you talking about?" Jace asked.

I looked at Jace . " Seven years ago , I ended up drunk because my boyfriend at that time just broke up with me. All I can remember is that I met a guy at this party and next thing I know I woke up the day after in his bed , naked."

Jace's eyes went wide and turned to his brother.

" Don't look at me , that time was when our parents kept ranting over and over about my future and I got drunk as fuck that night."

I glared at him. " Watch your language."

He put his hands up. " Sorry."
