DELVINI started to pull on the weaves of my blazer as I waited for him. I had been told that Steve would be out shortly about half an hour ago. It was beginning to piss me off, I hated waiting for people especially when I have a bunch of other things to do.I stood up in haste with the intention of going upstairs to look for him. I didn’t want to invade his privacy or anything but I just had to. Time was precious.On my way upstairs, I felt a pair of tiny hands envelope my legs. “Un-cle.” I heard a familiar voice mumble, making me shift my attention to below me. I realized it was the little boy from weeks ago, Dennis.In the state of surprise, I lifted him up so I could stare directly at him. “How are you doing today Dennis?”“He is doing perfectly fine as you can see.” I heard her cheeky voice from behind me. I knew it was her just by her cinnamon scent. I turned back to see her beautiful face as Dennis tried to force his fingers in my mouth. She was frowning, her hands at akimbo. S
LAURA I was devastated, I was confused at the moment. I didn't know what to do, how was I going to deal with Delvin? How could he comes back now after five years? I turned to Dennis and squatted over to his level.“I don't want to see you with this man again, Dennis,” I said in a hard tone, I cared less about what might happen in the future if Dennis ever found out that Delvin was his father. All I cared about, right now, was to make sure Delvin didn't get close to Dennis.“But why mommy?” Dennis asked, I stole a glance at Delvin who was standing behind us. He didn't seem ready to leave.“He's a bad person son, and you know bad people hurt innocent people. So, you have to stay away from him or else he will hurt you,” I warned sternly. Delvin grabbed my wrist as he gave me a hard glare.“What the hell are you saying to the little boy, Laura?” He yelled, “How can you say such a thing to-”“Let go of me, you bad man!” I yelled and pushed him away.“I'm surprised at your behavior Laura,”
LAURAI snapped my eyes open, only to shut it almost immediately because of the ray of light that flooded the room.I counted ten in my head before I slowly opened my eyes.It took a few minutes for my eyes to adapt to the lighting and when it did, I sat up on my son's bed.The previous night, instead of sleeping in my room, I decided to spend my night with Dennis.Last night was one that I wouldn't forget in a hurry.Devin's appearance was posing a big threat to my mental health and to my overall well-being.Wrapping my hand around Dennis' waist, I pulled him close then began to cuddle him.I brought my head down to his, then planted a soft kiss on it.My action made him turn in his sleep, but didn't wake up.“Why did you come back?” I asked in my head as Devin's face flashed in my head.I shook my head to toss the thought away, but it was no use.Devin's picture was stamped in my memory.“With Devin reappearing, things won't be as it were before. A lot of things are going to change
LAURA The wind went through the room in what looked to be a perfect interlude.Lights wound around the wooden frames of the window letting in the breeze.It looked like a perfect morning but it was far from it, as a matter of fact the morning was far from perfect, I couldn't explain it but the thought that delvin was back in a way was tormenting my mind.I tossed and turned on the bed, but it could only be so comfortable having been his thoughts were not heavily in mind. However, I had a way of dealing with this…Unease drifted through my body like a kindled fire with no smoke and I did all I could to get it off my chest.I could hear the sound of people around but it looked like I was completely alone. It was so quiet I could hear my heart beating in my chest.I took another glance at the window lost in thought and buried so deep .The thought left a stain that permanently warmed my skin.It might be unpleasant speaking to him, but it was too easy to look in hisdirection once
DELVIN POVI was beyond pissed as I stormed towards my car in the garage.When Laura and Dennis came around earlier, I was in the garage and unknowingly to them, I had listened to every bit of their conversation.Tired of eavesdropping on their conversation, I decided to go to the garden, pending the time Laura would leave.I didn't want to walk up to Steve while she was around because she was going to create a sense which I was not prepared for.On my way to the garden, my eyes met with that of Dennis, who was munching a chocolate bar and staring at me with a grin.He was about to alert Laura and Steve when I placed my fingers across my lips.He got the hint, and he made a motion of mouth zipping, which I chuckled at.He must have learned it from Laura because she always did that.As I was about to leave, he stole away from the living room without anyone noticing, and together we went to the garden where we had a swell time before Laura came by.When our eyes met earlier, I could see
DELVIN POV I sat down in my study and kept on reading the papers even if I had something on my mind.I was disturbed by why Laura was being too difficult and why she won’t let me have my child. I don’t want another man to fill my shoes most especially when that man was Steve.I hated him so damn much and her leaving me for Steve was enough for her to make me deal with but this was too much for me to overlook.I knew she was going to end up doing something stupid and I suspected it was all going to be Steve’s idea. I wanted to take it up because Mike told me not to do anything so I won’t end up making the matter further complicated than it already should be.But I still wanted the child and she knew it was my child but she didn’t want me touching him. I remember when he ran to me and the resemblance was so obvious.His little hands and warm body made me so comfortable even if it was so short lived. She really had to walk in and take him away from me.It was like the baby knew that I w
LAURAI knew this couldn’t be all because what did I expect from Delvin anyways. He just bribed the judge anyways because I had such solid points.No matter what the court said I still didn’t want that animal near my son. I knew he would eventually teach him how to like him, a mannerless human being and I didn’t want that.Delvin was just big but he had the man of a teenager as he made so many decisions without thinking about it.I didn’t want my child to grow up to hit a woman, I want him to treat them fairly and know the difference between power and stupidity unlike his father.I regret ever giving birth to him because he doesn’t have anything to be a father. I spent so much money just to make sure we take this up to the court and they would be able to tell us to stay away.I wanted him far away from my son even though I still had his custody. I didn’t want Delvin to be part of my new family and I didn’t want him in the picture at all even as Dennis father:I knew how fond Dennis wa
STEVEThe recent occurrence had been heavy in my mind, in a way I could see everything as a huge blow to what I had planned out already.All I had left for that belief that Laura would keep her word on insisting that she had nothing else to do with him again.Try all we could it is difficult keeping a man who have his heart settled on something away, even more so that this man was an AlphaI couldn't help it, I couldn't help the feeling I was having, neither could I stop it.Already, the issue on ground had been putting a big weight between Delvin and myself, this was one of those days I wished my sister was still around as she would be able to think her way out of this.I spoke to her occasionally over the phone and she seemed to have just one word on her lips…I told you soMuch as I would admit to myself that she had foreseen all of this happening, it couldn't change the fact that I could turn back the hands of time. All of this looked certain like it was meant to happen and as it
