Wild Baleigh love 2️⃣☑️

2. Please

This time I don't hesitate to move closer to him. His back is on me. Debating between opening my mouth and dragging him from the wall but I find myself wrapping my hands around his stomach slowly. His muscles tense under my touch but I tighten my arms as I rest my head on his back.

He doesn't fight me to it. We stay like that for some time as his laboured breaths become steady and his back muscles relax finally but he starts shaking. His whole body is vibrating.

"She... She was there." His voice comes out strained and my heart sinks at his broken voice. "She saw how I was broken as a kid. She saw what those kids at school did to me Kellane."

Is he crying? Oh my God no. The situation is getting out of hand. I feel my eyes wetting too but I take every ounce of bravery in me to steady myself. I unwrap one hand from his stomach and I rub it along his back slowly.

"She did nothing! NOTHING!" He shouts his body shaking much more and I can't keep my tears at bay any longer. "She should have said I was his son by then. Not now. I wanted to have someone who I can call mother so that those kids will stop humiliating me. She let me kill myself to self loathing. She made me leave you for manhattan. She made me hate all women on earth just because of one woman who I thought was my mother. Can this joke be any funnier? Now when I've finally moved on from it, okay almost move on, is when she comes out as my real mother. Can this be a joke please, I just..." He breaks into sobs. " I just want to forget." I turn him around to face me but the look on his face, I wasn't really prepared for it.

Anguish.

"I'm... I'm so so... Sorry." Despite my trembling voice, I find myself saying those words. I don't know what exactly happened but I can see the hurt on his face. I stand on my toes to wipe off the tears on his face with the both of my thumbs.

"I'm sorry son...I really am." Cassandra's small voice comes from my back.

" Don't fucking call me your son! I'm not!" Ballice barks his voice betraying his confidence.

" Cas please." I turn to her. "I know this is hard but please give him some time." I beg her with my eyes and she nods more tears streaming down her cheeks. "One more request please." I say stopping her on her tracks as she starts moving towards us. "Please find Jelton, tell him to make guests feel at home and also tell him that we'll be in shortly."

" And tell him to end the party!" Bally blurts startling us both. I turn to him and I look at him my eyes begging him as I shake my head. He keeps quiet his teary eyes getting lost in mine.

"Please tell him what I told you, I know Camille and Tiffany are around too. Tell them that I'll meet them shortly. You can also go ahead. Zila is waiting for you at our place." I say to her and she nods sadly disappearing into the house after drying her eyes and composing herself.

"Love." I turn to Ballice. He's giving me a blank look and tears are starting to dry on his handsome face. "I'm sorry you had to find it out this way."

" Were you really going to tell me?" He tilts his head sideways looking at me skeptically.

I keep quite for sometime and I nod. "Of course."

"I hate her, I hate Dad, I hate my life!" He exclaims frustratingly as fresh tears starts pooling out of his eyes.

He never cries that easily. This must be so hurting.

"I know the pain you're feeling right now but let's please go treat your knuckles, they're all bursted." I say softly guiding him to the deck.

" I don't want this party to---"

"Bally, we're having this party whether you like it or not. I worked hard for it. Both I and ca... Okay, right now you need this party more than you could think of. You need your friends." I say rubbing my thumbs lightly on his face.

" I only need you at this moment." He whispers shocking me with his words.

" And here I thought you didn't want me to come near you." I smile slightly at him and his lips twitches at the edge. " DON'T!" I mimick his voice from earlier. "DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME."

"I'm sorry." A small smile appears on his face. " I was---"

" I know." I cut him off wiping off his tears.

" But still..." He kicks the deck again with force and I hear the sound of snapping wood. "Do you know how it hurts to know that you are a child born out of a one time mistake?" He asks his voice cracking.

"I know."

" No! You know nothing Kellane! You don't! You've never been there!"

And here we go again.

" Will you please stop destroying things around. You've just cracked a fucking cemented wall, your knuckles are bursted. You know you can destroy me instead of hurting yourself." I know this is insane but I mean what I'm saying right now. I can't keep seeing him like this.

"Woman!" He swears under his breath. "Don't say that, I don't want to hurt you princess."

"I know you won't hurt me." I say in a small voice smiling up at him.

He's so tall and I bet he feels good towering over me.

" Let's get out of here, out of Hudson." He surprises me by his sudden outburst.

"Bally..."

"Please." He begs his eyes watering again.

How can I say no to that look?

" Okay we'll go but you've to promise me one thing."

" What is that? " He asks curiously.

" This party must take place first." I state looking at him intensely to gauge his reaction.

"Shit..." He rakes his fingers in his hair.

"If you don't want it to---"

"Okay, you win." He States throwing his hands in the air.

" Thanks." I wink at him my lips twitching. "I love you."

"God remind me again why I keep falling harder for this woman." He smiles weakly back at me as he pulls me into a tight embrace.

It's not just an embrace. It's communicating feelings that can not be let out by mouth at the moment. Like thanks for being here for me, thanks for loving me for me. It's also expressing all the emotions swirling inside of him all at once. Anger, hatred, frustration love, lust and others emotions I can't figure out.

"I Love you princess."
