The two were still seated in that position with different thoughts running through their minds, unaware of the fact that the time was already far spent. It was the beeping of Malcolm’s phone that jerked them back to reality.Malcolm sighed as he pressed the receive button, “where are you papa?” Came Liam’s scared voice, “you left me alone with this Aunty and you didn’t tell me anything and where is mama?”“Sorry son, I am with mama and we are coming okay?”“Be fast,” his son retorted and disconnected the call.“I am sorry for ruining your father and son day” Aurora immediately apologized and stood up from where she was sitting. She was a bit tall so his shirt was barely covering her thighs.“Are you really sure you are okay?You can take the day off if you are not feeling good, I will just tell Liam that something urgent came up” his voice was filled with concern and care.For a moment, aura didn’t reply. The fact that he was showing concern towards her was something she didn’t know s
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: THE SPARK III
The drive back home was a quiet one and aura felt guilty about it. If she didn’t go to meet Bigfoot then Angeline wouldn’t have had the time to talk to Liam who was seated and sulking by her side.Malcolm who was driving would occasionally glance at them through the rear mirror but he would not say anything, thankfully Angeline left in her own car.“Will you like some ice cream?” Aura asked, trying to release the tension in the car but the little boy ignored her and continued staring out of the window.“Liam, you don’t ignore when an elder is talking to you” Malcolm said from the front seat, his eyes glancing at them for a split second before turning back to the road ahead.“Then you shouldn’t lie to your dying son either” Liam screamed at the top of his voice in anger and that was when Malcolm pressed his leg hard on the break and the car came to a sudden stop by the road.“Be careful sir, there is a child in the car” Aurora warned.Coming down from the driver’s seat, Malcolm walked
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: FEELINGS
After standing on her porch for a while, Aurora finally sighed and walked back into the house. Both father and son were two unique personalities and she just didn’t know how to handle them at times. The son was a pure joy to her and the father was just a different kind of person she just couldn’t pinpoint but the love that existed between the two of them could rarely be seen in other families especially hers.When she entered the room, she met them both sitting on the ground and they were saying something and laughing hard about it. She found it hard that the almighty Malcolm Hart was sitting on the floor.“Isn’t the couch big enough to contain the two of you?” She asked and they both turned to her direction smiling.“Mama, what took you so long?” Liam squealed in his father’s arms, “papa was just telling me about the first day he met you and it is really hilarious” he added smiling and aura raised her brows at the two of them. What lie did Malcolm tell the child now?“What did papa t
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?
The two sat in that position not moving, they could both feel the creepy feelings in their hearts and bodies. Aurora, for the first time noticed the man beside her had a pretty dimple on his face.“Your dimple looks pretty” she said unknowingly and the smile on his face widened, that was when she realized what she said and her hands flew to her mouth, “that was not supposed to come out of my mouth” she added and Malcolm smiled the more. He found her cute.“What are you looking at?” She asked again when he was not saying anything but instead he just kept looking and aura was beginning to feel uncomfortable, “say something” she added.“You look pretty, I can now fully see why Liam was obsessed with you” he replied casually.“What do you mean?”“Your eyes make you look different”“Hmm” Aurora cleared her throat awkwardly, “thank you” she added almost inaudibly but Malcolm heard her.The two of them became quiet as the time passed by slowly, different thoughts and emotions running throug
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: IGNITION.
Even as he pushed her away, Angeline smiled and advanced towards him again. Even if he was acting tough with her, she knew for a fact that deep inside of him he still felt something for her.“Why are you pushing me away?” She asked as she came face to face with him.“Just leave” Malcolm gritted as he turned and faced the world. A conflict was going on in his mind and he needed to clear it out. Why the hell did that lady appear in his memory?And she looked so innocent.“What are you thinking so intently about?” Angeline asked again, this time she came to stand beside him and she looked very pretty under the moonlight, “are you thinking of that nurse?” She inquired further and Malcolm was taken aback, how did she know?Angeline smiled, “I am right I see, so she is the one now?”“What do you mean?”“You are a man of standard Malcolm, why will you settle for a plain Jane?”As the words left her mouth, an image of aurora appeared in Malcolm’s mind again and unknowingly he gave a laugh.“Pl
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE: IGNITION II
As soon as they entered the house, Liam jumped in front of the television to watch his favorite cartoon channel while Aurora found her way to the kitchen with some of the bags of groceries while Malcolm was behind her with the heavy ones.“Thank you” she said sincerely as he dropped them on the cabinet.“Why don’t you get changed and I will get started on the food”Aura’s mouth hung open in awe and confusion, why was this man showing her different sides of him lately?Now he will cook?“You cook?” She asked with another level of confusion on her face and Malcolm chuckled when he saw her.“Not really, just that your brother’s favorite happens to be my specialty. I heard what you said you were going to cook for him”“Why?” Aurora couldn’t hold herself anymore, she had to ask.“Let’s just say I want to make up for all the insults and mean things I have said to you”“Hmm, I see but you don’t have to though. I didn’t take any of it to heart”He could see the sincerity in her voice and for
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY SIX: I WANT YOU BACK.
“Welcome boss” his assistant greeted as Malcolm sauntered into the office, he had a grim look on his face and everyone around was weary of him. How dare the Portuguese tell him what to do?“They should be in the conference room in thirty minutes” Malcolm ordered and went into the condo in his office to have a bath.Thirty minutes later, dressed in a pair of casual buttoned shirt and pants he was seated in front of three Portuguese men and their translator was at the table between them.“I thought we had an agreement so why the sudden change of plans?” He asked after a while.“Pensamos que seria melhor ter a reunião hoje, já que viemos à cidade. Lamentamos quaisquer inconvenientes causados” one of the men said and Malcolm had to listen to the translator before he nodded. He could hear a little bit of Portuguese though.“So what do you badly want to discuss?” He asked again and he could see the three of them make eye contact and one adjusting his suit to talk.“Nosso chefe decidiu que as
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN: PAIN.
“Papa” Liam squealed excitedly as his father entered the house.“What’s up champ?” Malcolm asked as his lips curved up in a smile and he picked his son from the floor, then he noticed the ambiance in the room. “What happened?” He asked but instead aura faked a smile.“We were just having fun, that’s all”“Did Angeline say something to you?”This time, his voice didn’t sound gentle at all. Did that lady come to threaten her?“She was threatening my sister and saying hurtful things” Ryan said after a while and Aurora prodded him but ignored her and faced Malcolm again.“She told my sister that she wanted her family back and she should stay away”Malcolm sighed as he massaged the space between his brows, what the hell was wrong with ladies?“Did that Aunty say something bad to you mama?” Liam asked but instead she smiled at him.“It’s nothing Baby” aura added and turned to Malcolm who had a grim look on his face, “you don’t have say anything to her” she warned“We will head out now” h
