My eyes flattered open. I slowly took in my bright room as the sun washed my walls in a beautiful shade of yellow. I dragged myself out of my bed and reached over my night stand and grabbed my phone. I answered a few emails then put on a white t-shirt and grey sweats. I ran my hand through my messy hair trying to tame it and look more presentable. Until I caught myself.

What the fuck I'm I doing?

Why should I care how I look just cause the kid is around. I took a deep breath. Why the fuck I'm I so nervous? I shook my head and held my head high and walked out of my bedroom. I made my way down stairs and I was met by a sight of a shirtless, apron wearing kid. I didn't even know I had those. He was busy cooking I don't think he heard me walk in. I mean how could he when he had earbuds in singing look after you by the fray very very loudly. I fold my arms across my chest and lean on the door way waiting for him to notice me.

I watch him. He looks so carefree and so happy to be here. My heart flattered a bit but I paid no mind to it. I watched as his small frame moved around looking for things I'm sure I don't have in the pantries. He turned around and I swear he literally jumped shrieking. I laughed. He took off his earbuds and glared at me.

"How long have you been watching me pervert?" He complained playfully.

"Just before you started shouting the chorus," I chuckled.

His face turned fifty shades redder. I chuckled. I made my way to the coffee maker and made some coffee. I didn't have to go to work today I had already submitted my work all that was left was for the client to call and say what design they wanted and then we'd go from there.

My eyes wondered back to the kid standing in front of me humming happily. Some part of me couldn't believe that I had my fated. I just assumed that I'd just grow old alone and eventually die. I mean it didn't sound like a pleasant plan but it was my choice now look at me playing house with a kid seven years younger than me who believes in the cupid's gaze so much that he actually saved his virginity for me. That's actually kind of sweet. I smiled a little.

What the fuck is this kid doing to me? I'm fucking I smiling!

"Where's my baby?" A voice rang though my house.

Shit. Nick you ass hole.

The kid looked at me confused before my mother walked in all dolled up. She was wearing a checked chanel suit with red lipstick and her hair was in a bun. She barely looked like a mum, having me young and all. She found my father when she was fifteen and they had me not long after. I mean they were both from well off families but just because you found your fated doesn't men you can just do stupid shit like have a kid so young.

"Don't be rude come hug your mother." She pouted cutely. I got up from my bar stool and went to her leaning down hugging her. I got my father's height. I pulled away and her eyes landed on the kid.

"You must be my baby's fated, come and give me a hug you're family now too"

I watched as Alex walk mickly towards my mother almost tripping making me laugh earning a gleare from my mother.  She pulled  him into a bone crushing hug before pulling him to the living room probably to interrogate him. I turned off the stove and followed them.

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner my dear, some people don't tell their mothers anything or even bother to call to check on this old lady to see how she's doing." She cried which made Alex worried but I knew this woman was faking it.

"Don't be so dramatic mum." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not! I can't believe I had to find out this wonderful news from Nick instead of you my only son." She exclaimed the crying forgotten, see dramatic.

"It's okay Mrs Carson, I'm so glad to finally meet you, I'm Alex." He smiled cutely.

"No need for formalities, call me mum I told you we are family now, and anyway, I know your name and almost everything about you."

"Stolker much," I mumbled.

"What? I got excited and I just had to know everything about him. He's actually cuter in person. " she pinched his cheek as poor Alex turned red at the compliment.

"What are you doing here anyway, I heard you went to Paris or something," I said sitting across from them.

"Well I came back to meet this guy right here and to invite you to dinner."

"No thank you." I said in a monotonous manner. Okay I know what you're thinking, but it's not like I don't want to be with my family she's just inviting me over for dinner which is code for a party my mum threw with everyone she knows attending so she can show off the kid. I didn't want that type if attention  mostly knowing that we weren't going to be together for long. It's just six months and I'll be back to my life. I really don't want to answer to people when they ask me where the kid is. It's bad enough that my mum knows him now. I'm gonna kill Nick.  I know he told her about him to make it hard for me to just leave the kid when this is all over.

"I won't take no for an answer! You're coming to dinner or else and bring Alex with you and that's final and don't you dare be late." She glared at me and I gulped, damn this woman can be sacary sometimes. "Now I have to go meet your father." With one hug from Alex and a kiss in the cheek for me she left.

Fucking hell.
