Secret Mistake 3

56.

GIA POV

Two months later...

Since Delano went into work today. The kids had school today as well. Both boys took the yellow bus while I drove Salem. Poor thing was scared for her first day. "Mommy is Harlow coming to school with me?".

"Not yet, she's still too young" I said.

"Oh! Then I'll be alone!" She whined.

"Salem you'll be fine. We'll walk you in today so you can feel out your teacher" I said. She smiled and continued to look out the window. When we reached their school and I say their cause Ryan, Kai and Salem are all in the same school. Helping Salem out and letting Harlow walk while holding my hand.

"Come on lets go!" I said. We walked into the school and to her class. It was a small class too. "Mommy look! It's my name!" She pointed to the desk with her name on it. "Cool" I smiled.

Hearing someone clear their throat "well you must be Salem" a man asked. Maybe it's me but it's not usual to see a male pre-k teacher. "Yes that's me!" She said.

"Where are my manners?!. I'm Mister Houston, I'll be Salem's teacher for this year" he smiled big. I nodded "oh really well I'm her mom". He shook my hand and led me around the classroom. "Salem will be fine here" he said.

"I know she will be" I joked.

"And who is this pretty little lady?" He asked looking at Harlow.

"This is Salem's little sister" I said. He knelt down and shook her hand "well hello miss Harlow". Harlow was like her dad she wasn't feeling anything he had to say. She quickly took her hand back and hid behind my leg. "She's shy" I lied.

"No worries" he smiled. Salem came running to me "bye mommy!". Well damn. For someone who was scared to even come to school. "I guess that's my cue to go" I joked. He nodded "she seems settled already". Taking Harlow and making our way back to the car. Then it hit me... I couldn't believe Harlow was the only one left to start school. This was becoming an issue with me. Anytime any of our kids start school I feel like that's when time flies by.

Harlow and I stopped at a local donut shop and teared away at some treats before going home. Since moving here I haven't had the time to even look for a job. With moving and settling and making sure the kids were okay. Time just crept up on me.

Putting Harlow down for a nap... that left me some time to just rest a little. My phone didn't let me do that. Ron was calling me which is weird. He usually texts me.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Gia? Hey... umm I wanted to discuss something with you" he said.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Well not sure if you know or not but Ryan called me last night" he said.

"Ryan? As in my son Ryan?" I asked.

"Yes as in your son Ryan. He called me threatening me to stop talking to you" he said.

"Are you sure it was him?" I asked.

"Positive! I was a little shocked he called me but to call and threatened me is a little much" he said.

"Wow! I can't believe he did that!" I said.

"I mean I didn't take his threat to heart. He's a kid" he said.

"Right little do you know" I mumbled.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing! I'll talk to him when he gets home from school" I said. Not sure how to even feel about Ryan calling Ron and threatening him. Sounds like Ryan though but I thought we had this conversation before. "I don't want to get the kid in trouble or anything" he said.

"I wouldn't say he's in trouble... but he's going to get talked to" I said .

"Okay, hope everything is well" he said.

"Yeah Everything is good. Can't complain" I said.

"Good, I'm happy to hear that. But I have to go pick up my girlfriend from work" he said.

"Yeah sure... thanks for letting me know" I said.

"No problem, have a good day. Gia" he ended the call. The whole day I was tying to figure out how to even bring this about. Ryan came through the door and I stood there "we need to talk".

"About what? I just started school! I know I'm not in trouble already" he whined.

"Ron called me today and told me you called him threatening him last night" I said. Ryan raised his brow "me? I never called anyone".

"Ryan! Come on... we all know how you felt about Ron speaking to me. So why did you call him?" I asked.

"Mom I didn't call anyone. I went to bed early last night. Ask Kai" he said.

"So why would he say you called him then?" I asked.

"How the hell am I supposed to know. He's your friend! You tell me!" He said.

"Ryan... if you called him then just admit to it. Didn't dad tell you to stay away from harming anyone else?!" Ryan stood there "I didn't call him. I swear! I may have killed two people but I didn't call your friend and threaten him. That's not style. That's an amateur. And I'm a pro. Who has time for games when you can get straight to the point?".  Kai came running in and stopped "what happened?".

"Mom claims I called Ron last night" Kai turned to me "Ryan was sleeping by like eight last night".

"See? Told you. Your friend is lying!" He said. Looking at Kai who was bouncing glances from me to Ryan. "We'll talk about this later" I said. Both boys jetted to their rooms. Looking at the clock I was late picking up Salem.
