—Part XXI—

Clint's POV

I took the pill and went to take a shower. My memory is a little fuzzy from drinking too much so I don't quite remember what happened last night. Did I got home by myself or someone was there? "Argh, thinking about it makes my head hurts more. I needed coffee. " I blurted as I finish up my shower and get ready for work. As I was heading towards the kitchen I heard voices.

"I need to tell him the truth Kian..... Is he still crying?...... I know, I know..... I'll be home... Hmm, I need to talk to his Dad... Yeah, okay.... Yes, I will..... Hmm.... I love you too.... " I frowned and stayed at her back, she went back to cooking breakfast. God knows how much I wanted to hug her while she cooks, how much I wanted to shower her with kisses. Damn. I need to get hold of myself

"What are you doing here? " I heard her gasped and she accidentally touched the frying pan. "OH FCK! Shit. " She frowned at me and headed straight to the tap to wash off the pain. She heave a sigh. "I'm sorry I startled you. " She looks at me intently. "Oh you should be. I cooked you breakfast and left you tylenol for your hangover. Does your head still hurts? " She turned off the fire and move closer to me.

I tried to move away but I got trapped in the island counters. "W-what.. yes.. I'm good.. " I look away before I could do anything to harm her again. "Something happened last night. You should take responsibility. " I frowned at her, is that why I am not in my yesterday's clothes? Fck.. are you serious? I did it again? "Good thing you didn't flee this time huh? " What the fck am I saying?! I should apologize—

My eyes widen when she rest her head on my chest, I can feel her shake and I can hear her faint sobs. "I'm sorry.. for leaving, for ruining everything.. Lenny told me all about it. " Then she look at me in the eye and I couldn't help but look back. "It's nothing, don't be sorry. It's my fault. You should go home to your husband and child. " Her eyes widen when she heard me.

"What the freaking shit are you talking about Clint James Thompson?! I told you everything last night!? " She moved away from me and take off her apron then threw it on me. "What! I can't remember! " She shakes her head.

"Fine.. whatever.. Do you have work today? " I am now facing her back as she prepared our food and set up the table. I was just there watching her and I couldn't help but think that it would be great to have her as my wife. I could kiss her anytime, anywhere. I could touch her and feel her. It would be too great.

"What are you daydreaming about C? Let's eat or you'll be late for work. I know you're busy expanding your business and dealing with those business partners. I'll make you a cup of coffee, you sit down first. " I seated as she instructed and look at the food she made. Toasted bread, fried rice, hotdogs, eggs and bacon. She places the cup of coffee on the table and sit in front of me.

"Eat C.. I need to go after this or he'll come here. " Who? Her husband? "How long have you been married to that guy? I've seen him at the airport too. " She rolled her eyes. "Shut up and eat or I'll force you. " I pouted and started eating and whispered "As if you're not forcing me now. " She looked at me seriously.

"Do you know how much courage it takes for me to stay here after last night? Why do you keep mentioning other people when it's obviously just the two of us here? " I sighed and look back at her.

"Then why didn't you go? Like how you disappeared 5 years ago D? " She slammed the table and lean towards me. "Because I need to tell you the truth! Because you deserve to know! " What truth is she talking about? "What are you talking about D? What truth? "

"About Blake.. " Blake again, is that really her child? Was she married once and then went home after the divorce? "Tell me then. I knew the reason why you left but I wanna know about Blake. " she went silent for awhile. "Blake is 5 years old. "

I nodded "I know that too, he told me when we were at the airport. What else? " I continue eating as I waited for her to start talking again. "You don't get it do you? 5 years ago, I was fucked by someone who doesn't even remember anything after he's been drunk. Then I had Blake. Get it? " I nodded again, I don't know where this talk is going, My head hurts.

"Okay.. so who's that jerk—wait.. what? Are you telling me—" a loud knock at the door cut me up. D went to open it but I followed. "What are you doing here.... Kian? " she blurted surprisedly. Psh Kian again. "MOMA! Don't leave me for that guy!? I will behave myself!! " Blake hugged D and cried so loudly. "Shhh, it's okay. Nobody is leaving you. Mommy's never leaving you. Stop crying now. " She hugged him too and stand there watching.

"Sorry Deb, I couldn't handle his tantrums, I'm never good with kids you know. " Then Kian look at me. "Hey bro.. Are you happy now? Am I disturbing your family reunion? I should go Deb. Bye Little Hero~ " but Blake ignored him and glared at me. "What are you looking at kid? " He's still glaring at me.

I can see D smirking at me. "Don't kid me! You're trying to steal my mommy away from me!! " Ha! This kid is courageous. "Hey kid! I was first in your mom's life! So technically, she's mine. " D blush and look away. What was I thinking? Saying that all of the sudden. "Momaaa!! "

"Sshhh, it's okay. Nobody is stealing mommy from you. Haven't you been curious about daddy? " Blake stopped crying and stared at D, I too stared at her. "Yes moma.. what about daddy? " D looked at me and hold Blake's hand then they both move closer to where I am standing. I don't know how to act, I don't know what to say.

Is he really mine? Is this familiarity real? "Blake, meet your Daddy.. Clint James Thompson. C, this is our child Blake Ross. " She smiled at me but her eyes are shining with visible tears. She told me I deserve to know the truth, she told me about it but I was still surprised. It feels good, seeing her and Blake smiling at me.

"Daddy? " I lowered myself down to his level and smile but tears couldn't help but roll down. "Blake.. my son.. " he moved closer to me and cups both of my cheeks. "D-don't...cry.. daddy. " I hugged him tightly. "Daddy is not crying. Daddy is just happy. Blake.. " Blake hugged me with his small hands too, it's tight and warm. This is my child with the girl I've been in love with.

"Can I join the hug? I'm envious. " Blake and I stared at each other and looked at D who was brushing off her tears. "Hey son, should we include mommy to the hug? " To my surprise Blake shake his head. "Moma has been full of my hugs daddy, she just want to hug you too. " Then we both laugh. "HEY! So unfair! " But in the end, we let D join the hug and the crying and smiling.








And in the end, I couldn't go to work even if D force me to go. "I own the company, they'll be fine if I'll spend this day with my loved ones. " And I kiss both of their heads. D pouts, "You're just making excuses. " while Blake agreed with his mom. I hugged them both and said "This is enough excuse not to go to work today. " That said we stayed at home, watched movies and made popcorns. Blake fell asleep on my chest.

And I felt D's head resting on my shoulder. "I didn't regret any of this C.. I purple you to the moon and back. " I nodded and tightens my hug on her. "I purple you to the moon and back. " Then she look at me. "How did you know about that though? "

"It was a long time ago, the girl I love told me those words when she thought I was too drunk that night I rest my head on her shoulder and pretended to fall asleep. I have been loving that girl and when she told me what that means, I knew back then that I'll be marrying her and make a happy family with her. Guess the happy family came true first, the marrying her comes next. "
