I pushed the bushes aside, and there sat a skinny young boy, maybe a toddler, with matted curly dark brown hair, hollow cheeks, and rags for clothes.
I froze in shock until I finally found the words to say, "Hello, my name's Cleo. . . what's yours?" I spoke as softly and calmly as possible.
He blinked his pretty grey eyes at me. "Mateo."

Would you take him in? Help him find his parents?

He turns me around; one hand lands in my hair and the other is enveloped around me. He pulls me into him, so tight my breath bounces back from his clothes, and I can feel his rapidly beating heart. "God, I thought I almost lost you," he breathes into my hair. He backs his head away, about to place his lips on mine, but I turn away. "Blood" I say. He sighs. And pulls me back into him. ________________________________________________________________ Ever since then, this is how it has been between us: he will pay me unexpected visits at the office and in my home, I will get unexpected flowers delivered to my office and unexpected gifts. This has been going on for months now and I don't know how to feel. The first month of the deliveries and gestures just made me livid and resentful because where was they when I needed them and where was he when I needed him. ____________________________________________________________________________ It's hard for him to do, just feel. But with Awa that's all he wanted to do. Raising her hand and placing it gently on his cheek, slowly pulling him towards hers, slowly but surely their lips connected.

Smoke and Mirrors | Book 1
Ezra was raised to be safe. Stay quiet. Stay close. Don't ask questions. But safety has its limits-and Ezra is starting to feel every one of them. As memories begin to blur with reality and the world opens just enough to make him question everything, Ezra finds himself caught between what he's been taught and what he's beginning to feel. Brent has always been just outside that world-steady, patient, and impossible to ignore. And the closer Ezra lets him in, the harder it becomes to hold everything else together. Because some cages don't look like cages until you try to leave. And what happens when the place that kept you safe... is the reason you were never free?![Xisuma's Parrotsitting [HermitSteal AU]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/339164713-256-k226388.jpg)

Lost And Found (4 Shots) ✔️
"Lost Friends To Lovers" Dad told me real love happens once and when it does, never hide your feelings. Too bad, he told me late. I held them and lost her. Until I found her again. Blue-eyed, brown hair. That dimple on the right cheek, it hasn't changed much. Well, she hasn't changed much either. I can feel her body exuding the same warmth as the old times, her innocence still shining bright like it used to. This little surprise is racing my heart even when she is far from me...wait? Far? With her eyes busy finding something in her handbag, she is coming toward me. Me. Is my back erecting? What is she doing here? In a school? Is she my son's teacher? I find myself curious now. But then, she takes a seat beside me and smiles at the teacher. I can not help but wonder. Is she a parent too? Short StoryComplete
