I left Madeline at her house and went back to hotel to change and rest
before I will meet my son.
Madeline told me that she has a plan I was ecstatic. She said she will
bring Bryan to his favorite pizza shop tonight where we will have
dinner as a family first time. Then she said I could offer Bryan some
ice cream because that's what he loves to eat.
When I was a kid I used to love ice cream. Until now whatever Madeline
has informed me about Bryan I realized that he sounds a lot like me.
I smiled thinking about my son.
But I still couldn't understand why Laura didn't say anything? How she
pretend not to know anything about Bryan for six years?
Laura has already done so much to ruin my life but now I won't let her
ruin my future too.
I can't fathom for my life why she wants to meet me. Next week she and
Paul have trial in court and I need to be there too. But Laura
requested to meet me before trial and I don't know what she is
planning now.
I heard my cellphone rang and picked it up.
"Hello Matt. Anything new?". I asked him.
"Yeah. You need to come back as soon as possible". Matt said sounding worried.
"Why? Is there any problem?". I asked him.
"Laura gave me deadline. She said if you didn't came to meet her she
will .....". Matt stopped and took the deep breath.
"What it is Matt?". I asked him.
"Her lawyer informed me that she is pregnant". Matt said.
My heart dropped in the pit of my stomach I struggled to breathe. She
must be lying.
"Is there a chance that it's a lie?". I asked him.
"I don't think so. She went through the routine test under the police
custody. Her reports can't be fake". He said.
I massaged my head as the painful headache started to build.
"What do you suggest I do?". I asked Matt.
"I suggest you get the first flight back to Boston". He said.
"Okay. See you then". I said ending the call.
What am I going to tell Madeline?
If the truth will come out Madeline will be broken. And there is a
possibility the baby is not mine. She was with that Paul guy and it
might be his baby. After all they had been in a relationship for last
five years behind my back and the father of this baby could be him.
I called the airport and the only flight available for Boston today
will be leaving in an hour.
But I want to meet Bryan before leaving for Boston.
I called Madeline and she picked up on the second ring.
"Hello, sweetheart". I said.
"Hello Mr.Desperate". She said in a singsong voice.
"Mr.Desperate really?". I asked her in disbelief.
"You are calling after an hour of dropping me off at my house so why
shouldn't I call you Mr.Desperate?". She asked making me smile.
"Okay I get it. Actually I'm calling you to ask if I can meet Bryan
now". I asked her.
"Why? I still haven't talked to him about you because he is out with
my parents". Madeline said.
"Oh". I said .
"Brandon is there any problem". She asked me.
"Actually I need to go back to Boston today. I have a very important
meeting tomorrow and the last flight for Boston will leave in an
hour". I said.
She went silent for few minutes.
"Brandon, I don't want you to go but I understand that you've business
and people depend on you. So you can go". She said.
"Madeline, you know how much I want to meet Bryan again". I said. At
the end of the sentence my voice cracked.
"I know Brandon. Just promise me to come back soon". She said.
"I promise Maddy. This time when I'll come back I promise to never
leave you again ever". I said.
"I'll not let you leave again Brandon". She said in her sweet voice.
"Possessive much". I teased her and heard her musical laugh.
"Oh, I'm very possessive Brandon. You've no idea". She said trying to
sound sexy and I laughed.
Then we bid a goodbye and ended the call.
I packed my stuff and checked out from the hotel. I arrived at the
airport on time and successfully catch the flight.
When I landed in Boston my cellphone rang and it was from my dad.
"Hi, dad". I said picking up my bag from the scanning machine.
"Hello, son. When are you coming back?". Dad asked me.
"I'm back". I told him.
"You're back. You should have told me sooner I would have sent a
driver for you". He said making me smile.
"I called James and he is here to pick me up". I said.
"That's good. We'll wait for you for dinner". Dad said.
"Dad I'm going to my apartment". I said.
"Which apartment?". Dad asked me confused.
"My apartment. The one I've been living in for a year". I replied to my dad.
"Oh, I sold it". He said with the nervous laugh.
"What?". I yelled in shock catching people attention.
"You sold my apartment?". I asked him while making my way to the parking lot.
"Yes, I sold your apartment and bought a new single story house in
South Boston for you. You can shift there in few days". He said
casually.
I found James leaning on the car and make my way towards him. When saw
me he came running to me and took my bag from me.
James has been working as a chauffeur for my family for 30 years and
my father trust him a lot.
"Dad are you serious? Or you're joking again?". I asked him once again.
"I'm not joking, son. I suggest you come straight to home. Your mom
and I miss you". He said making me close my eyes.
I took the deep breath to calm my annoyance and said "Okay I'm coming
back to home".
Sometimes dad irritates me by doing extra ordinary things for us. He
loves me and I love him a lot but it doesn't mean he have a right to
make decisions for me.
I get it the apartment was under company's contract but still I have a
right to choose where I live, he can't just buy a house for me in the
neighborhood I grew up.
When I arrived at the house James parked the car and I got out taking
my bag with me.
I knocked at the door and Margaret the house keeper welcomed me inside.
My mom was sitting on the couch and dad wasn't in the sight.
"Mom". I said to catch her attention.
When she saw me she stood up from the couch and made her way towards me.
I hugged her tightly and smelled her hair that always have fragrance
of roses in them.
"I missed you so much". Mom said hugging me.
"I missed you too mom". I said kissing her cheeks.
"Your dad was really worried about you". My mom said pulling away from the hug.
"Why was he worried?". I asked her.
"Because you left so abruptly. He thought you might be in pain and
hurting. I had to stop him from following you to New York. He even
sold the apartment thinking that when you will come back the apartment
will remind you the bad memories". Mom said making me feel bad for
thinking that dad irritates me.
Dad came downstairs and saw me "Welcome back son". He said with open arms.
I hugged him.
"Thank you dad". I said pulling away from him.
"For what?" He asked me.
"For worrying about me". I said to him.
"You're turning weird with each day". He said and I laughed.
Then I went to my old room where I have spent my whole childhood and
teenage. I still love my old bed, my closet and the blue, black walls
with the pictures of Madeline and me hanging on it.
I shut the door and made my way to the closet to pick out my clothes
and then went to shower.
After shower and getting changed my father called me down for the
dinner. Elena was also in the dining room waiting for me.
"Hello baby sis". I said kissing her head then settling on the chair beside her.
She gave me the side hug and said "I'm not a baby sis. Stop calling me that".
I laughed and said "It's a revenge for calling me Brandy and
embarrassing me in front of all my friends".
She smiled evilly and said "You realize I can still call you Brandy in
front of your employees, friends and simply anywhere".
After hearing her I chocked on the water I was drinking.
"You're.... you're evil". I said coughing.
She smiled at me cheekily.
"Kids stop. Let's start a dinner". My dad said making me turn back to
Elena and narrowed my eyes at her.
The dinner went smoothly and after that I decided to take a stroll in
the garden outside my house.
I dialed Madeline's number knowing that she might be asleep and I'll
wake her up.
"Hello, Brandon". She said sleepily.
"Hi, did I wake you up?". I asked her.
"Ah no, yeah. I was trying to make Bryan sleep but I guess I fell
asleep with him too". She said.
Bryan name did something to my heart. I don't know why I just want to hug him.
"Can you send me your and his picture?". I asked her.
1 hour ago
John Mary Umana
"Any random picture?". She asked me little shock.
"Yeah any picture". I said.
"Okay I'll send you when we end the call". She said.
"Did you tell Bryan about me being his father?". I asked her.
"I'm actually waiting for you to return. I know he'll get very excited
and demand me to take to you". She said sadly.
"Oh that's fine. I can understand". I said but then I turned back and
my eyes landed on Elena.
Her mouth was open in a shock.
Dammit she heard me!
"Goodnight, I got a go". I said and ended the call.
Elena was still standing like a statue and staring at me with her mouth agape.
"Elena". I said.
"Pinch me Brandon". She asked me.
"Do it". She said.
I hesitantly pinched her on the arm and she yelled rubbing the spot
with her hands.
"You have a son and his name is Bryan?". She asked me.
"Yes, I have a son and his name is Bryan". I said massaging my head.
"Holy bananas! You have a son. My brother has a son that I didn't know
about". She yelled and I had to put a hand on her mouth to shut her
up.
"Elena shut up". I said making her nod her head then I pulled my hands
away she cursed in her own language.
"Freaking hell Brandon. How? When and where?". She asked and that's
when my cellphone beeped.
I took the look and it was an email from Madeline and opened it. There
were around ten pictures of Bryan from the day he was born till now.
My eyes become teary and I blinked the tears back.
His baby face was beautiful. Bryan looked so cute and in almost every
picture my boy has a big smile on his face making him look sweet.
Elena snatched the cellphone from my hands and stared at all the pictures.
"How old is he?". She asked me.
"Five". I said making her eyes widened.
"Holy Zingiberales!". She yelled.
"Dammit! What are you doing Elena? Do you want to wake up the whole
neighborhood?". I asked her making her shake her head.
"OMG! OMG! Brandon he is so cute. You hid him from us for five years?
How can you be so cruel? I always wanted to be aunt. Oh I already love
him". She said staring at the pictures in awe.
"I know he is really cute and I didn't hide him from you. I just found
out". I said.
"You just found out? What do you mean?", She asked me confused.
"I didn't know about him until a month ago". I told her.
"Brandon, who's the mother of your son?". She asked me.
"Madeline, the girl that was my best friend and love of my life". I mumbled.
"I'm going to faint, brother hold me". She said and I took the hold of her arm.
But she still fainted.
After my parents accident Elena was diagnosed with Vasovagal syncope
means whenever she is surprised or shock she will faint. It is a
harmless brain problem but when she faints there are chances of her
getting injured.
I put my cellphone in my sweatpants pocket then pick Elena in bridal style.
My parents wasn't in the sight so I made my way up to Elena's room and
laid her on her bed.
Although she is a college student, my parents didn't allow her and
Erin to leave the house. They wanted their twins to spend some more
time with them and I personally think they both never wants to leave
mom and dad.
I pulled the quilt over her body and placed a kiss on her temple.
"Goodnight". I whispered in her ear and shut the lights of her room.
I went back to my room and retrieving my cellphone from my pocket I
looked at Bryan pictures. He looked so innocent and mischievous.
Dreaming about him and Madeline I fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~xxxxxx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Madeline POV:
Brandon call woke me up and he sounded so sad.
After he ended the call I kept thinking about him.
I wish I could do something to make him meet Bryan.
Then I looked at my right where my son was sleeping soundly with my
arm underneath his head.
Whenever I fell asleep with him, he'll make my arm his pillow instead
of using the real one.
I pulled out my arm from under his head and realized it turned numb.
I sent the pictures of Bryan to Brandon but didn't received the reply.
He might be sleeping.
Then an idea popped in my head and I looked at the meeting schedule in
the calendar of my cellphone.
I emailed Penny to handle the meetings with Caleb. Then I booked two
seats for Boston tomorrow.
I guess it is time for my son to see where his parents belongs.
Thinking about tomorrow I fell asleep.
She surprised me by hugging me tightly.
"I missed you". She whispered in my ear.
I closed my eyes when the pleasurable smell of her perfume filled my senses.
"I missed you too. Although I have been away from you for a day but it
feels like centuries". I said pulling away from the hug.
"Bryan is here to meet you. He knows everything". She said smiling.
Her eyes were shining with the happiness.
"I'm so damn nervous". I mumbled in her ear.
"You shouldn't feel nervous. He is a cool kid". She said giving a
reassuring squeeze on my arm.
Bryan was staring at the earth globe geography ball that was sitting
on my work table.
I took the step forward and said "Hi, Bryan. How are you?".
His eyes snapped at me. I kneeled down in front of him.
He glanced at Madeline then back at me.
"I'm fine". He said.
There was no smile on his face and I felt my heart dropping.
"How was your journey?". I asked him.
"It was good. I watched movies in the flight". He replied.
"Oh that's nice. Can I hug you?". I blurted out.
Bryan stared at me for few seconds then took the step closer and said "No".
My eyes widened and Madeline narrowed her eyes at Bryan.
"I'm sorry. I...I just". My words jumbled up at his reaction.
Bryan doesn't want me to hug him means he doesn't like me.
"I want you to make a promise first". He said taking a step closer.
"Okay". I said.
"Promise me that you won't leave me again, dad". He said blinking his
eyes to stop the tears.
I felt my heart breaking.
I could never forgive myself for missing five years of my son's life.
"I promise you, Bryan. I promise you that I'll never leave you again".
I said and he launched himself in my arms.
I hugged him as tightly as possible for me without hurting him.
"I'm sorry Bryan for missing five years of your life". I said kissing his head.
His small hands that were thrown around my neck tightened.
"I love you Dad". He said making my heart swell with happiness.
"I love you too, son". I said.
"You both forgot me. I need a hug too". Madeline said making me and Bryan laugh.
I got up and picked Bryan in my arms then pulled Madeline in side hug.
Bryan threw his arms around my and Madeline neck but our heads bumped.
"Ouch". Madeline said rubbing her head.
Bryan giggled at us.
Madeline and I laughed staring at our small bundle of love giggling at us.
My eyes landed on the wall clock.
"What do you think about early dinner?". I asked to Madeline.
"Ice cream". Bryan said staring at me with cheeky smile.
Before I could answer him Madeline said "No buddy, no ice cream until
you have some dinner".
"Your mom is boss here buddy. We need to follow her rules". I said
putting him down on his feet.
Bryan pouted at my answer but modded his head.
"Let's go". I said to them.
I took them to the parking lot from the private elevator.
When Bryan, Madeline and I was settled in the car I started to drive.
"Brandon it's ice cream parlor". Madeline said.
"Yes and we are here to eat some ice cream". I said making Bryan jump
in excitement.
Madeline shook her head at me. We all stepped out from the car and
made our way to ice cream parlor.
Bryan smiled at me then holding my hand, he started to drag me inside
the ice cream parlor in excitement.
Madeline followed us with the beautiful smile on her gorgeous face.
I felt happy and complete staring at Madeline and my son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~xxxxxxx~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Madeline POV:
After eating ice cream Bryan demanded some fries and burger and
Brandon happily complied his every wish.
I was happy because two most important people of my life were happy and smiling.
Brandon took us to this new fast food restaurant where Bryan ordered
curly fries and double cheeseburger.
I always loved food so I didn't have any issue in ordering double
cheeseburger myself.
Brandon and I was sitting on the table waiting for our order to
prepare. Bryan was a good distance away from the table staring at the
fish aquarium and making cute faces to attract fishes.
"I love you for giving me such a smart and cute son". Brandon
whispered in my ear making me look at him.
"I love you too for loving Bryan and accepting him without making him
go through paternity test". I said.
Suddenly, Brandon face paled and he looked uncomfortable.
"No, I don't want any piece of paper to make me believe that Bryan is
my son. I know he is my son and I trust you Madeline". He said closing
his eyes for few seconds then opening them again.
He looked stressed and tense.
"Is everything alright? You look stressful". I said placing my hand his jaw.
He kissed my fingers and said "I'm fine, it's just work that I
neglected for weeks taking a toll on me".
I planted my lips on him when waiter cleared his throat making us jump apart.
"Your order, sir". The waiter said placing our food on the table.
Brandon glared at waiter while I tried to control my laugh.
"Hey Bryan food is here". I said making him look at me. Then he kissed
the aquarium and came running towards me.
I picked Bryan and told him to sit beside me. He was about to attack
his food when I placed the napkin on his lap.
Brandon asked Bryan about his school and he started sharing things with him.
When we were done eating the same waiter approached us again with the bill.
Brandon glared at the waiter making him uncomfortable.
"Brandon stop glaring at the poor waiter". I whispered in his ear.
"He interrupted us". Brandon said making me roll my eyes.
"If you will give this poor waiter a nice tip I'll give you a kiss". I
said making him rose his eyebrows.
He paid the bill and handed the nice tip to the waiter then turned to me.
"Mommy I want to pee". Bryan said.
I laughed at Brandon pouting face and took Bryan to the washroom. When
I came back we decided to leave the restaurant.
On the way back to the hotel Bryan fell asleep in the car.
When we arrived at the hotel Brandon didn't woke up Bryan and insisted
that he'll carry him to the room.
I unlocked the door of the suite and walked inside with Brandon following me.
"Where's Bryan room?". Brandon asked.
"Here". I said taking him to the room.
Brandon laid Bryan on the bed and he instantly snuggled up in his
pillows. He kissed Bryan forehead and mumbled a good night in his ear.
We both came out from Bryan's room and Brandon pulled me in a hug.
"Brandon what's the matter? Please tell me?". I asked him because I
could feel something was wrong and making him worried.
"I want you to promise me something Madeline". Brandon asked.
"What?". I asked him.
"Promise me that no matter what anyone will say, you'll always hear me
first". Brandon said.
"Okay, sir". I said winking at him.
He smirked at me and pressed me to his body making my breath hitch.
"Are we role-playing tonight?". He said taking my earlobe in his mouth.
"Brandon". I moaned his name when he started kissing on my collarbone.
My grip on his bicep tightened.
"You tortured me all day for one kiss". He said between nipping on my neck.
"I didn't..do...anything intentionally". I said placing my hand on his neck.
I pushed him on the wall behind him and captured his lips with mine.
He was letting me control the pace but as the pleasure intensified and
he changed the position. I found my back pressed on the wall while
Brandon took the control of the kiss.
His sweet tongue explored my mouth then he nibbled my lips making them swell.
My one hand was leisurely unbuttoning his shirt and the other one was
running up and down on his neck while he was busy in ravishing my
mouth.
He pulled away from me and placed his head on mine.
His breathing was rugged as well as mine.
"I'm glad you decided to come here to meet me". He said.
"Me too". I said taking the deep breaths.
My hand unbutton the last button of his shirt and then his chiseled
chest came into my view.
I ran my hand on his abs making him stiff under my touch.
"Madeline". He growled my name then putting his hand on my waist he
pressed himself on me.
"Do you want us to end up on bed tonight?". He asked me.
"Definitely". I said gazing in his eyes.
That's what all it took for Brandon to carry me to the room.
He put me on the bed then shut the door.
