CHAPTER XX CLYDE He woke up finding that Samantha woke up before him. Clyde took his phone on top of the side bed drawer 8:30 am. What the heck? He never woke up past seven before. Hell, he can’t even remember the last time he woke up that late. Being a businessman means you need to wake up early before the sun even goes up. He immediately went into the bathroom to do his thing and brush his teeth. He washed his face and looked himself in the mirror. When he was satisified, he exited the bathroom and went downstairs. It’s suspiciously quiet. “Babe?”, he called out when he reached the bottom. No answer. “Samantha? Samuel?”, he called out again. Nothing. He started walking, searching. No one is in the living room where he usually see his son playing. He went straight to the kitchen. Maybe they’re having breakfast, right? But no sign in the kitchen as well. Clyde started to get worried. He ran for the stairs and headed straight to his son bedroom only to
CHAPTER XXI SAMANTHA Damn it, Samantha! Relax! You’ll gonna be fine! Samantha could not even remember how many times she told that to herself since she started getting ready until now that Clyde is already driving. It’s just a birthday party! Nothing could go wrong, right? “How far is the venue again?” she asked. “The venue is in my parents’ house. Almost 45mins.” “Wait. Your parents’ house? Does that means your mom and dad are gonna be there?!” she asked, somehow regretting she even agreed to this. “Yes. And my youngest sister,” he answered still focused on driving. “You did NOT tell me about that!” He gave her a glimpse. “Does it matter?” “Does it matter?! Of course it matters! I am about to meet your entire family!” she exclaimed. “And?” Yes, Samantha. And? “I mean, you could have told me before hand.” He smiled. “It’s fine, babe. They’re nice people.” “Oh yeah? So what happened to you?” He gave her a short laugh, “hey! That’s not fair! I’m nice, too, right buddy?” an
SAMANTHA “Why aren’t you drinking?” “Are you kidding me? It’s a children’s party,” Samantha responded. “I know. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a shot. Have fun and enjoy,” said Kylie.&nbs
SAMANTHA Samantha slowly lifts her head, mentally denying that her greatest fear had caught up with her. Silently praying that the ground will suddenly open and swallow her whole, with her son. She lifts her head only to be caught by the bluest eyes she’d ever seen. It was like those eyes are trying to ask her something and accusing her at the same time.Something that was far more different from the last time those eyes landed on hers. “You know him, mom?”, her thoughts were interrupted by her son’s voice. She was about to answer him when the host of the party talked and asked everyone to gather around the birthday girl and sing Happy Birthday. Samantha grabs her son and took the chance to escape as they got swamped with the crowd and went for the exit, almost running without even bothering a glance back. “Are w
CLYDE Clyde got up and turned to face her. “You will tell him who I am, Samantha. And that’s not a request.” “I will. But I need more time –“ “You already had four years!”, he exclaims. He saw a tear drop from her right eye. “Will you please stop yelling? He could hear us,” she pleaded. “I will do anything I wa
CLYDE So, this is where you live, huh? He looked at the house across the street where he decided to park his car. The house is two storey. With his experience as a hotelier, he’s guessing there are only two rooms in it. It has a landscaped tiny garden in front and a garage that would fit a car. He saw her car parked. He glanced at his wristwatch and checked the time. It’s 6:55 in the morning.He recalled how he got to the department store after he finally get to have her address. He grabbed every toy not knowing what his son might like. Are they awake? He wondered as he watched the front door opened. A middle aged woman walked out holding what seems to be a garbage bag. He watched as she carefully dumped it inside the garbage can right in front of his car. The woman seemed to notice him as she
SAMANTHA Fuck! My head hurts like hell. What in the world happened? She silently asked herself without bothering to open up her eyes. She then remembered everything that happened the day before. With that thought in her mind, she opened her eyes in an instant.Shit! We got to get out of here. Before he finds out where we at, we need to go. It’s a good thing that they just recently renewed their passport. We can go anywhere. Anywhere is fine as long as it’s far from him. He will find us out eventually, but all we need to do is keep running.She got up with a decision in her head. She went straight to the bathroom. As she was about to brush her teeth, she looked at h
CLYDE Clyde couldn’t help but shake his head at Samantha’s reaction. It was priceless. The first thought that came to his mind when he saw her emerged into that living room is, Jesus Christ! She’s a Goddess.There she was, looking shocked and confused and beautiful. Her hair was tussled like she did not even bother combing it, looked perfect with all that curls at the bottom. Her glorious body, that he can perfectly see beneath that thin shirt she got on was like begging and waiting for his touch. Her parted lips, tiny pointed nose and her green pair of eyes matched with all those thick lashes, just perfect. He actually wondered how he was able to control himself not to take her right there and then. But she’s right. He’s here for his son. The goal is to be known by his son as his fath
