Remnants Of Us

Touchdown

Farrah's POV

I am now trying to learn the basics of my new phone. Well not exactly mine but the company's. But I will still be getting it tho even after quitting. So hurrah to free phones.

It is a Blackberry, specifically designed for working purposes. I ditched my old flip phone.

Asher walked towards me thinking deeply. "Mommy, where is my daddy?"

I froze momentarily. I knew that question will be going out from his mouth but I didn't think about an answer.

"He is a very busy man"

"Why doesn't he come to my biwthdays and bwing me toys?" He asked with tears brimming on his beautiful orbs.

"Baby, don't cry. You are making mommy cry" Tears are already trying to spill out from my eyes. Asher was already looking for a father figure, but my pride is too high to give him that.

"Mommy, I hate daddy" He said while hugging me.

"Now that's wrong Asher" He should not hate Ryan. Ryan doesn't even know about Asher so it's unfair for Asher to hate him. "You should not hate your father"

Asher is still crying while hugging me tightly. "No mommy, I hate him because we awe cwying now because of him"

Carried my son and cradled him to sleep. "Don't hate him, Asher. You'll meet him soon"

I can hear my son's even breathing. I laid him down on his bed and kissed him on his forehead.

If he just trusted me, we would have been happy right now.

If he just believed.

Next day

I dropped Asher to the day car. The emotional talk that we had yesterday seem to have been forgotten on his mind.

The joys of being a kid. we should all try to be child-like not childish.

I drove to my workplace earlier than the usual to avoid Ryan at all cost. I may have told Asher that he will see his father soon, but not this kind of soon.

A realization washed over me. Does he even care about me?

I've been so silly devising plans so that I could avoid him at all cost and he probably doesn't care. Smart move Farrah.

I bumped into a hard thing. Am I that clumsy?

I looked up to see our CEO. Oh no, my ass is so screwed.

"I'm sorry Mr. Montgomery" I said as I bowed apologetically.

For working here for a year, this is the first time I have ever seen Sean Montgomery our CEO.

He chuckled and looked at me amusingly. He is handsome and hot. damn I would tap that, but my Asher is my first responsibility so no to guys. He has nice lips and eyes. WAIT!

Am I seriously checking him out. I can feel heat rising unto my cheeks and I slowly move out.

I felt a hand clutching my wrists. It's Mr. Montgomery.

"Hey no need to rush out. What is your name? I think it is fair that I know your name since you know mine" He said with that smile on his face.

"Farrah Levigne, sir" I said politely. "i think I should work now,sir"

I bowed at him and silently walked to the elevator. When I looked at his direction, he is still smiling at me. Or maybe it is just my imagination.

I went up and I can see my co workers fussing about something.

"Hiya" I greeted them.

"Hey Farrah, what are you going to wear for tomorrow's gala?" Courtney asked me.

Oh yeah. The gala. I totally forgot about that and now I am panicking.

"I forgot about that" I said as I clutched my hair. That is one important event. How can I forget that?

I just went full retard.

"I can lend you a dress" Ellaine said. My life savior.

I hugged Ellaine and thanked her profusely. She is like an angel sent to guide me.

The day went as it is.

I am now going out when I saw my ex fiancé going inside the building. I immediately retreated to a bathroom and waited for 5 minutes.

Asher is probably whining right now so I will try my very best to be a ninja. I can still see his personal assistant around. I walked faster safely, without being caught, I got out from the building.

I fetched Asher from the day care and he is telling me about the movie they watched. It was about The Lorax. I can tell that he really enjoyed it.

"Mommy ice cweam" He asked with his puppy dog eyes. It was irresistible.

"Okay but only two scoops"

We just walked to his favorite ice cream place. He ordered one scoop of vanilla and one scoop of chocolate, drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with chocolate chips. He ordered a big chocolate milk.

I am afraid that my baby boy will have a short route to diabetes.

After eating his treat he somehow drifted to sleep and I carried him to the car.

"Farrah?" I can hear a familiar voice calling me. oh no.

I walked faster to my car but he beat me to it.

There he is standing, Kyle, Ryan's best friend.

He looked at me and my son."We have been looking everywhere for you"

I backed up a little and bowed my head.

"Who is this little guy?" He asked while looking at Asher tenderly. He was thinking deeply when the thought came crashing down to him. "Is that Ryan's son?"

I gained my courage to speak. "What makes you think so?"

"He looks like Ryan on his baby pictures"

That is most definitely true. I've seen Ryan's baby pictures and he looks like Asher.

I looked at Kyle. "Please don't tell anyone about me being here or Asher" I begged. I don't want others to know the information about Asher from other person except me.

"I think Ryan should know about him" Kyle said. "He has been miserable these past years"

Yeah right miserable. Tell that to the marines. Is bed hopping miserable?

I'll play kind "Yeah he will know about Him when time comes"

Kyle went near me and touched Asher's head. That woke Asher up and looked at Kyle with his bright Blue eyes.

"Hi little boy what's your name?" Kyle asked with a smile on his face.

Asher just looked at him and after a few seconds he hugged me tightly.

"He's name is Asher and he is shy" I said with a light chuckle. Asher is the kind of kid that you have to get his trust before he will loosen up to you.

"Hi Asher, I'm your mommy's friend. My name is Kyle"

Asher's face is still buried in my neck.

"I'm sorry but you have to be close to him first before he will talk to you" I said while rubbing Asher's head. "Anyways he is tired and we have to do so bye Kyle"

He nodded and smiled at Asher. "But you better tell him. I will respect your favor, but he should know" Kyle said as he waved a goodbye.

So there we have it everyone. The third Chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it.
