Dangerous Illusion

"I don't take you as a breakfast in bed kind of man" i hit his shoulder playfully

"I'm not" he shrugs

Raising my eyebrows at him.

"I'm eating with you because i figured you would want a day to just be-" he stops and looks up at me.

"Thank you i appreciate it" leaning forward and kiss his cheek.

Don't ask me why i did that but i needed to thank him on a deeper level than just words.

His shocked eyes met mine for a minute.

"Your welcome baby"

"So i have a question, but i don't want to ruin our good morning"

"What's the question?"

"It's about your mother?"

He turns his body more towards me.

"I knew this was coming. Go ahead and ask Emma" he sighs.

I don't want to make his mood go sour, so i need to watch my words carefully.

"You said she was alive?"

"She is. She actually is going to be coming stay with us and be warned, she wants to meet you"

"Meet me"?

" Yeah" he shrugs his shoulders as if it's not a big deal.

"I can't wait to meet her then" i smile up at him.

"You don't want to ask so I'll just tell you the story"

"You don't have to, it's none of my business"

"My father brought my father as a sex slave, he needed a wife in order to take over my grandparents business. He married her on the outside but on the inside she was nothing but his whore. She would try to escape but each time he caught her and punished her. It got worse after i was born. He would use me against her. She wouldn't leave me alone with my father, so she stopped trying to run away. When i turned 16 my father shot her in front of me after i killed his mistress. I found out she had been poisoning my mom, making her sick. He made a mistake. He didn't check to see if my mom was dead. Our bulter at the time, who is still my bulter to this day helped me save her. Other than me, his the only one that knows where my mothers was. I couldn't take the chance of my father finding her again."

"Your bulter?"

"He was in love with her. If i thought i couldn't trust him with this secret he would be dead" he tells me without emotions.

"I feel bad for him.. going all this time without the women he loves..."

"It's been hard on him, he drinks alot which is why you have barley seen him around since you been here"

I think that's enough for now. I don't want to push him. I'm still afraid of him on some level.

"Thanks for tell me Callen, I can't wait to meet your mother"

"I haven't seen her in 9 years..."

"When does she arrive?"

"Tonight"

Okay.. I'm going to do something nice for her and him both. I don't owe him anything but he did save me from his father and for that alone I'm thankful.

"I'm going to plan something.."

"Plan what?" He looks at me confused.

"A party"

"Emma-"

"No.. Please. Let me. It won't be anything huge, just a nice dinner, and maybe a few decorations." i look at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Okay but please don't over do it okay. My mother has been stressed and i don't want to push her"

" I promise. Lucca will be happy to meet his grandmother, I'm going to make tonight perfect for them both"
