Chapter 145 KISS MY FIST

FIRA’S POV

The weeks had quickly passed. Ember was crying every night, so Pyro needed to go join us in sleeping. That was the only thing that could make her silent and sleep peacefully. He was inside our room every night. I also locked the door during my bath at night. There were times that I heard the doorknob rotating. I just shouted at him to get lost. He was chuckling outside. I could feel the old Pyro again. He was always smiling as if his world was full of colors.

Most of the time, Princess Ziraya was bothering me, but I was just ignoring her. She would never be me in Pyro’s heart. One day, I saw the Rainbow Sisters. I almost laughed when their faces pale as they bump into me. They thought I would seek the guard and slash them. For their information, no matter what position I had now, my mother molded me into a better person, treating people with morals despite how bad or good they were to me. I was satisfied that they were not bullying me. However, behind those eyes. I was aware that they saying bad things to me.

One morning, I went to the old house of Janus. Nothing changed. Only the spider and its web had seen. I was crying so hard. I did not know what to do. Luckily, Pyro came and joined me in my grief. He remained taking an action to find his body, so we could bury him on the ground, with the proper grave.

When freedom day arrived, Ember was super excited. She was jumping while wearing her Princess pink gown. Like what Pyro promised to her, we would go to the city. I could feel complete of us. On the other hand, Janus never left my head.

He is still the second man in my heart.

“King Fire!” Ember pointed at the big red-pink stuff toy that was on a display in one of the stores. She was happily walking towards it.

“Can you not call me King Fire?” Pyro whispered into her little cute ear.

“Then, what? Papa?” I smiled grew on my lips as Ember whispered back to him. Since they were always together, little by little, they were look-alike.

“That’s great. Call me Papa, okay?” Pyro gestured an ‘okay’ sign on his finger.

“Okay.” Ember imitated what he did.

Pyro messed her hair. “Good girl.” Then, his arm wrapped on my shoulder. I looked up at him in a side direction and slowly removed his arm.

Ember gazed at us with confusion in her eyes. “Mama, do you like King Fire?”

Pyro burst out chuckling. He was the one who answered her. “She likes me so bad! Grr!” She choked her waistline that was why she laughed noisily.

We walked to the store and examined the huge teddy bear. Ember was very happy. She even kissed Pyro on his cheek and jumped over and over again while hugging the toy. She stared at the red-pink stuff toy and then looked at the blue one. Suddenly, she realized something. “Papa, is that blue, a man?”

“I don’t think so? Maybe?” Pyro grabbed the other one. “Why? Do you want this, too?”

“Can I change this with that blue bear?” She was pouting her lips. She kissed the pink-red toy and gave it back to Pyro. “Sorry, I need a boy.”

“We can buy this both? If you want?” Pyro was giving her the two bears, but she resisted. “Why?”

“Papa Janus said, we couldn’t choose two things at one time. Be mindful. We can’t get all that we want, so pick wisely.” She grabbed the blue bear, causing Pyro to startle.

“That will not compatible with this toy, Little one. It’s just an object.” She messed her hair.

“But still valuable.” She answered.

I had a fake smile when Pyro looked at me. Janus told her every single thing she needed. She was listening to it carefully and applying it in actuality. She was a good daughter to him. I did not wonder if until now, she loved him and he would never ease inside her heart.

“From now on, you’ll be my buddy. Your name is Papa Janus.” She talked to the blue bear.

I could see the pain in Pyro’s eyes. He was not talking, but I felt that he was blaming me for not giving him an opportunity to be a father to her.

“So I’ll not cry at night.” Ember embraced the teddy bear. She was preventing her eyes to produce tears.

“Okay! Let’s go with the ice cream area!” Pyro tried to be energetic even though that was not his attitude. He brought us to the Candy and Ice Cream Station, ordered chocolate, strawberry, and mango ice cream.

We sat on the bench. Ember was in our middle, licking the chocolate ice cream while watching the kids on the playground. “Mama, after this.” She raised the ice cream. “Can I join the kid?”

“Yes, of course.” I wiped her lips using the table napkin.

“Yehey!” She licked the ice cream as fast as he could. We were laughing at her. Then, when she was done, she hugged the bear, placed it on Pyro’s lap. “Papa, take care of my Papa Janus. Thank you!” She kissed Pyro on the cheek before running and joining the kids.

The silence between us was deafening. I just licked the mango ice cream while he was doing the same thing to his strawberry ice cream. I cracked the silence when I talked.

“Sorry.” I bit my lips, looked down, and tightened the grip on my food.

“For what?” He said with a furrow on his forehead.

“For making Janus replace as Ember’s father. She should know you, but I can’t take back her knowledge about her father.”

Pyro traveled a little distance between us. He let out a harsh air before speaking. “I’m not mad at you for doing that. Janus molded her into a cute adorable kind kid. By her stories about him, I concluded, he treated her right.”

“Absolutely.” I talked proudly of what Janus did for our daughter. “Before he died, he punished Omegas because they spread a rumor about Ember; about her unreal daughter.”

“He did that?” Pyro did not believe in my words. “I witnessed how he hurt you when you were pregnant.”

“That’s he was to me because he knew I couldn’t love him the way I love you.”

“Damn. You love me?” Pyro formed a smile.

“Stay away from us, you freak!”

Our attention went to the kids. There was a little girl pushing Ember hard, the reason why she laid on the floor. Ember was gritting with madness. She stood up, marched towards her, and punched her face. “Kiss my fist!”
