Noah looked at Valeria, wondering what was keeping her."Valeria." He called and Valeria flinched."What's wrong? Who's calling?" He asked.Valeria turned to face him."Ergon."Now Noah understands why she didn't get the phone."Let's go son, I guess we've had enough swimming for now," Noah stated with a smile.Fred shook his head."No papa, I still want to swim for a little bit longer, please papa, please." Fred pleaded with a cute pout."Now how could I ever refuse you, son," Noah said, and Fred cheered."Thank you papa." He said, hugging Noah tightly. "But since you're let to learn how to swim by yourself, your mama will come help you while I go take a call, is that okay?" He asked. Fred nodded."Valeria, please come stay with Fred, he still wants to swim.""Okay," Valeria replied, then she went back to the pool.She took Fred from Noah.Noah placed a kiss on Fred's forehead before swimming to the edge of the pool and then he got out.He went to where he kept his phone on a chair
Valeria couldn't tell if he was upset or not, he simply left without saying anything."It's all for his good," she muttered to herself."Now I'll have to look for the room Fred is in." She said.She sighed, then she went upstairs.****Next day.....Valeria was still sleeping when her phone began to ring. She groaned in her sleep, then she stretched her hand and took her phone from the bedside table and answered the call still with her eyes closed."Hello." "Valeria, good morning, you and Fred didn't return yesterday." She heard Shantel's voice and that sobered her.She hurriedly sat up."Shantel," she called."Yes, Val, it's me. What happened? You guys didn't come home yesterday." "Err...yes Shantel, well you see, Fred wanted to stay here and you know I can't refuse him, but we'll be coming home today." Valeria said and she heard Shantel sigh from the other end."Okay, take care, and kiss Fred for me, I miss the little man so much already." Shantel said and Valeria smiled."I will,
Valeria managed to hold Fred tightly so as to prevent him from falling."Adrianna!!" Noah thundered.He held Adrianna's hand tightly and pulled her away from Valeria.Noah landed two slaps on Adrianna's cheek."How dare you hurt my woman!!" He growled.Adrianna couldn't believe what Noah had said and neither could Valeria.Adrianna's eyes were beginning to get watery. She placed a palm on her right cheek. Noah had slapped her so hard and it hurt like hell. She was too stunned to say anything.Fred's bottom lip began to tremble as he watched the drama unfold and soon he began to cry.Fred's tears only fueled Noah's anger. He felt like hitting Adrianna again but he couldn't repeat what he did in front of Fred."Take Fred inside Valeria," he ordered, not taking his gaze off Adrianna, who was still speechless.Valeria stood rooted to the spot, she was still in shock."Now!!" Noah barked. She flinched.She swallowed nothing, then she hurriedly left."Shh....enough honey, mama is here, tha
Valeria wanted to give in to the kiss but questions are still left unanswered.She forcefully pushed him away."Enough!!""Now this is the problem, Noah, you just think all problems can be solved through sex. You keep confusing me!""Valeria. What are you saying? I don't understand.""I just can't bring myself to do anything with you, not when I don't even know my place. What kind of relationship is this? What are we? Am I just your sex toy? Your baby mama? What am I to you, Noah?""A lady showed up here and claimed you as hers. I don't even understand Noah. Sometimes I think you're only with me because of sex or maybe Fred.""If sex is the reason, then please Noah, I don't want anything to do with you, I won't let you use me and then get my heart broken again. I know this all started with a deal but I'm willing to work my ass out to pay you for what I owe you. And if this is because of Fred, then you should know I have no problem with you seeing him. You can come see him anytime you
"Papa me too, me too," Fred whined when he saw this and this made Valeria and Noah laugh.Noah went to Shantel and he kissed Fred on his forehead.Fred held Noah's face with both hands and also kissed his cheek."Thank you son." Noah said with a bright smile.Shantel stood there feeling so confused as to what was happening."Will you come again papa?" Fred asked in a sad voice."Of course, son, I'll come over tomorrow. You know I can't stay away from my little prince," Noah replied. Fred chuckled."Do come over, papa," Fred said once more."I will baby." Noah went back to Valeria."I'll see you tomorrow," he said. Valeria nodded.They both stared at each other for sometime. Noah felt like kissing her again and doing so much more, but he couldn't do that in the presence of Fred."Stop staring at me and leave already," Valeria chuckled."I'm going to miss both of you." Noah sighed."I wish we could all live together, Val, isn't that possible?" He said softly.Valeria didn't have an ans
Next day....Valeria woke to the sound of her phone ringing.She groaned as she placed a hand on her forehead."Who could be calling this early morning," she muttered.She took her phone from the bedside table and when she saw who it was, she immediately sat up.It was Noah who was calling.Valeria had yet to answer the call but she was already blushing so hard and her heart was racing.She cleared her throat, then she answered the call."Hello," She uttered softly."Hey baby, good morning." Noah's morning voice was sounding so deep and sexy, it gave Valeria a tingling feeling down there."Good morning." She replied shyly."Did I wake you up? Hope I didn't.""No no, you know I'm not a late sleeper, I was up already." She lied."What about Fred? Still sleeping, I guess.""Yup, you know him, he's just like you," Valeria said, and she heard Noah chuckle from the other end."Yes, I know, he's like me, but I pray he won't be like me in some aspect. You know what I mean."Valeria understoo
"You're saying all this just because you found a new bitch, isn't it," Adrianna yelled.Noah balled his fist in rage."I've told you before, Adrianna. Mind how you speak about her, she's not a fucking slut like you!!" Noah spat."Oh I see, how good she is in bed that she already has you wrapped around her damn fingers, huh? How good is she? Is she even better than me? She's nothing compared to me. If she's the lady I saw the other day, then you're so crazy, Noah, you're crazy for being with a wretched lowlife lady and what's with the baby, huh? Don't tell me she has a kid for you." Adrianna scoffed."Don't test my patience Adrianna, I'm warning you, don't say anything bad about my child and Fiancee," Noah yelled with gritted teeth.Adrianna squinted her eyes at Noah."Fi what? Fiancee? You must be kidding me," She hissed."Quit joking around and open the damn gate Noah, we fucking need to talk!""We can just go in and settle things, just like how we used to before" Adrianna said softl
Noah's car pulled up in front of Valeria's apartment.He got out and went to her doorstep, then he knocked on the door.He waited a while before someone came to answer it.The door opened, revealing Shantel."Noah? You?" She called in surprise."Yes Shantel, good morning, you seem surprised to see me here. What happened?" Noah questioned with a smile."I mean, I wasn't expecting you to be here this early," she said."Oh, well, here I am." Shantel looked inside to be sure no one was there yet. Valeria was upstairs with Fred and she needed to talk to Noah quickly, but she wouldn't want Valeria to hear it.She went out and shut the door, all to the surprise of Noah.She folded her hands to her chest and looked at Noah with a straight face.Noah cleared his throat nervously, he didn't understand her sudden change of behavior and the look on her face told him that she was about to say something serious."What's wrong, Shantel? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?
