AURORA CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:THE BLOOM II
It was already past seven in the morning when Malcolm entered his son’s room with a tray of breakfast for his son and the sight that greeted him made a feeling rise in his body. Liam was sleeping in the arms of Aurora and they both looked good together.A smile unknowingly appeared on his lips but he quickly masked it up, women were not to be trusted and this one was not an exception.On the other hand, Aurora could feel a pair of eyes staring back at her even in her sleep and she slowly opened her eyes to find out she was right, Malcolm was standing there having a tray of food with him.“Good morning” she greeted and slowly climbed down from the bed to avoid waking the little boy who was still fast asleep.“I thought he was already awake that is why I decided to bring breakfast” he didn’t even know why he was trying to explain himself to her.“He slept late last night so that is why he seem to be sleeping in, he woke up at night and I had to read him a story”“Okay” came Malcolm’s si
AURORA CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: THE BLOOM III
“Pretty aunt is still here?” Liam squealed, smiling at the woman who just entered the room.“Can I come along Liam? I would really like to spend some time with you and everyone here” Angeline added, still smiling.“Can she come, papa?” He asked, turning to his father who raised his brows in anger.“It is father and son day Liam, you already allowed mama to come so why do you want to invite a stranger?”Angeline’s heart broke into a thousand pieces when Malcolm tagged her a stranger to her son.“But I like her too,” Liam pouted.“No son, she can come later and that is final” he said as a matter of fact before staring daggers at Angeline, how he hated the sight of this woman.“You know what?” Aura spoke for the first time, “I remember that i have an urgent work I need to take care of, you three can go”She didn’t want to be the killjoy of the family even if her heart was broken that she wouldn’t get to spend enough time for Liam again, she already grew to love the boy so much and it pai
AURORA CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE SPARK I
The two of them were having the best time of their lives when Malcolm reached where they were, part of him was happy that his son was having the best time of his life but part of him hated the fact that Angeline was back in their lives.“Come and join us papa” his son screamed happily and ran towards his papa, the smile on his face was genuine and Malcolm wished it would be there forever.“He looks really happy,you should join us” Aura spoke as she walked to them, she also had a smile on her face and Malcolm wanted to compliment the smile but the beeping of her phone stopped him, “excuse me” she mouthed and walked a few feet away.“Mum”she answered immediately she pressed the receive button, “I am at work now, I will call you when I get home” she added hoping she would be let off the hook but the woman on the other end would hear nothing of it.“You haven’t sent us money in a while now, aura, are you trying to neglect your family?” Her mother screamed and she had to remove the phone f
AURORA CHAPTER TWENTY: THE SPARK II
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
