Sudden Change

Chapter 4

Courtney POV

My eyes fluttered open when I felt someone is laying beside me. It was Zayne.

I look at the clock that hanging on the wall just to found out It's only 1:48 am.

I'm on the couch in the living room.
My heart pounder fast for a second but it went back to normal beat when I saw Shayne laying on the floor beside the couch with Zayne's blanket covering him.

He's here.

I adjust myself and stare at the ceiling.

So I fell asleep after that sudden burst out.
Should I regret now because I didn't hold back my emotion?

I look back beside me.

Zayne is sleeping on my side facing me while his free arm is on top of Shayne's hand that's on Zayne's waist.

I carefully try to stand up but I guess it woken him up, he sleepily open his eyes.

"Where are you going mom?" He ask.

I lay on my side to face him.

"I'm going to my room, come with me." I told him but he shake his head no before shutting his eyes.

"But I just came heeere."

"Why did you come here."

"I went to your room.... But you're not there... So I came here... and I'm happy to see you and Uncle Shayne here..... I thought he already left but he didn't. I still want to play with him."

I look at him, I clearly see him fighting back his sleep.
I caress his cheek.

"You can sleep baby."

"You won't leave?"

I kissed his forehead.

"I won't"

He moves down his head, so now my chin is on the top of his head. I saw Shayne still sleeping.

"Zayne?"

"Hmmm?"

"Tomorrow, mommy will tell you something."

He just nod and just a couple minutes after, he already asleep.

I stare blankly on the wall.

Tomorrow, my life will change again.
Shayne will be in my son's life.
Zayne will know who is his father.
It won't be just me and Zayne anymore.
Shayne will be on the frame.

I close my eyes wanting to fall asleep again and I put my hand on Zayne's side, I didn't notice Shayne hand is close to mine until he put his hand  on top of mine.

I'm about to pull my hand but he hold my hand.

I take a look on him thinking he's awake but he's not.

I sigh and let him hold my hand.

He wouldn't know that this happen.

I close my eyes and just a minute, I started to drift asleep.

His hand is still the same.
It so warm, and comforting.

~~~~~~

I was woken up and there's no one in the living room.

Where's Zayne?

I felt relieved when I heard a laughter from the kitchen. I fold the blanket before I went there.
