CHAPTER 28

ANGEL'S CLOSET

I woke up because of the noise coming from a phone. I groaned when I felt my body ache. I feel so sore down there. I tried to open my one eye trying to find out where my ringing phone is. When I saw it on the bedside table I immediately took it.

I answered the phone and put it beside my ears. I closed my eyes again because I felt so very sleepy.

“Oh my goodness! Angel Kate! Where the hell are you?” I heard the voice of my Mom crying and panicking making my eyes dilated.

Mom? Why is she crying? My whole spirit woke up because of Mommy's cry.

"Oh my god, Angel! I'm so worried. Where are you sweetie? Please tell me you're safe and you didn't leave us again...” her voice broke

“Stop overacting. You're daughter is fine. She already knows what she's doing." I heard Daddy's voice trying to calm the panicking Mommy.

I feel so very sleepy.

“I can't calm down! What if she's not fine? What if he decides to leave again?! I'm scared...”

My heart ached because of what Mommy said. Even if he didn't tell me, I know he was very affected by my leaving even if he didn't tell me.

"M-Mom calm down. I'm safe.” I softly muttered.

I heard the relief gasp of my Mom on the other line.

"Angel! I know that you're already old and capable of handling yourself very well. But are you really trying to kill me?” cried Mommy on the other line.

I snorted and looked at the clock on the bedside table. I saw that it was eleven o'clock in the morning. I pursed my lips and roamed my eyes around Keegan's room. Where is he?

"I'm s-sorry Mom. Sorry if I didn't inform you. I went to the club last night. Get drunk. But I'm safe. You both don't have to worry. I can handle myself very well. I'm sorry for making you both worried.”

I don't want to hide anything from my parents. I smiled as I looked at the ring on my hand. I'm really in a reality. I'm not in a fucking dream.

"No... You can't just tell me not to be worried." I felt like something was blocking my throat because of Mommy's broken voice

"M-Mom... dad... I'm really safe. I'm here at my fiance's condo." I closed my eyes tightly because I couldn't move even if I was nervous. I want to say where I am so that their worries and fears go away.

I heard the other line go quiet before Mommy screamed.

"God gracious! Don't joke right now Angel Kate! You just got home and now you're telling me that you slept in your fiance's condo?! You didn't even tell me that you have a boyfriend! And now you're going to shock us that you have a fiance already?! Are you kidding? It's not funny!” Mommy was shouting from the other line.

There is still panic in her voice.

I bit my lower lip and sighed. I looked at my ring tenderly. Still can't believe it. Things happen so fast.

"I'm really telling the truth Mom. don't worry I will introduce him to you and Dad. I can't go home later. We're going to meet his sister."

I stopped talking when I heard Mommy sobbing.

"Make sure you go home, huh? I want to meet your fiance too." you already met him six years ago I mentally stated. I wonder if they will familiarize Keegan? I bet not.

Keegan has changed a lot, especially in his body.

I nodded and smiled “I'm sorry Mom... I'll promise I'll be safe and I will go home safe. I love you and Dad,”

"We love you too sweetie. Come home safe to us.” Daddy said in a stern voice on the other line.

I had just finished calling my parents when the cell phone rang again with a new incoming call. my eyes glimmer when I saw who's calling me. My son...

“Mimi!” He welcomed me cheerfully, causing me to smile

"I miss you already Mimi..." he mumbled sweetly. I felt my heart soften.

“I miss you too Guardian. Don't you give your Daddy a headache? are you a good boy to your Daddy?”

"I'm a good boy Mimi. Daddy and I had a movie marathon last night. We watched Avengers.” I could feel the joy in his voice as he spoke.

"Mimi can I see you today? I just missed you. Can we have lunch together? Please...”

I smiled because of my son's shy voice.

"You don't have to say please son, We'll eat lunch together. Which restaurant is that?" I asked while getting out of bed.

"Hey! Thank you so much Mimi! I'll text you the address and the name of the restaurant Mi. I love you! Daddy and I are going there. I'll hang up now Mi. See you there.”

I smiled and shook my head because I couldn't believe that Guardian was growing so fast. I will give him whatever he wants. Even if it's hard, I'll force myself to give it to him. That's how I love him.

I saw a paper on a table. I immediately took it and read it.

"Hi, I'm sorry if you'll wake up without me by your side. There is just a little problem in the precinct. My presence is really needed. I don't want to leave you while you're still sleeping but I have my duty to do. Text me, when you're awake. I love you, Francisco.”

I felt my cheeks heated while reading the note. I love you more Keegan. I typed a message to say that I was awake but when I saw that it wasn't even sent, my forehead suddenly frowned.

The heck? Am I fully loaded? When I looked at the messages. I'm already expired! How is it now? I need to text Keegan!

When my eyes caught what time it was. I immediately panicked and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower. While in the shower, I suddenly slapped my forehead because I realized that I didn't have any clothes on! angel you are stupid!

Maybe your child is already at the restaurant! What should I do? What will I wear? Is it Keegan's clothes? Shit! I messed my hair out of annoyance. I don't want to say no to my son. If he says he needs me, I should be there for him. so I forgot that I was in Keegan's condo and I had no clothes on!

If I just wear my dress again last night? Maybe it's not too dirty or smelly. Right! I rushed out of the bathroom and immediately looked for my dress on the couch or on the small table but I couldn't find it. Where did Keegan put my dress?

I don't even have underwear! Shit Angel! Don't let your child down! I tell you! I entered Keegan's walk in closet. I'm nervous that he might scold me. But I don't have a choice! Maybe I can see a small dress of hers and a pair of pants, that's fine. I'll just borrow one of his boxer shorts.

My lips suddenly parted when I saw a door. There is a name written on the door. My jaw dropped at what I saw.

Angel's Closet.

I don't want to assume but my heart started to beat frantically inside my chest. The door is color sky blue. I was staring at the door in disbelief. What is this? Is it a closet too? Because of my damn curiosity. I tried to turn the door knob. Keegan I'm sorry...

I was surprised because it wasn't locked! I opened it all the way but I couldn't see anything because it was dark. I looked for the light switch and immediately turned it on. I blinked my eyes when light illuminated the whole room.

My jaw suddenly gaped because of amazement! Wow! My eyes literally widened in so much shock when I roamed my eyes around the entire walk in closet. Too many clothes! all contained in a glass cabinet. I can clearly see different kinds of sky blue dresses.

The heck Keegan? Who is this for? I don't want to assume again but my favorite color in high school days is sky blue! Is this a coincidence? Or is this really for me! My jaw dropped and my lips parted because I couldn't believe what I witnessed.

This fucking walk in closet looks so fucking expensive! Even the dresses, shirts and underwear! Oh my God?! I was amazed at what I witnessed.

But when I remembered my son, I suddenly panicked. I'll be back right after Guardian and I meet. I'll tour myself here later! Right now I have to get dressed to leave.

I quickly chose a sky blue laptop and sky blue mini skirt. I wear a white fancy sandals that made my eyes twinkle. Terrible! I can't believe he can afford so many things now. I cried because of joy. Not because I saw an expensive closet. But because for Keegan. All the things he couldn't buy before. He bought it now.

I know he really worked hard for this kind of lifestyle. I'm just so proud of him.

"Mimi, here!" The smile on my lips widened when I heard Guardian's voice. Why does it feel like a year that I haven't seen him? When in fact its just one night he's not with my side.

Maybe I'm just changing? Who can you get used to right away? since Guardian came to this world I have been with him. There wasn't a night we didn't sleep next to each other. It's just the first time. So I'm not very good at it. But what can I do?

I have to accept that I can't hold Guardian against his real father. I was the one who raised him, I know I can't lock him up in my life. I'm trying to accept this reality...

But I will never forget my promise to Villia. My son just called that he needed me. Whatever I do I leave it for him. I will go to him immediately to make him feel that he is very important in my life.

"He was looking for you last night. You are always the one he kisses. I'm with you but I'm always thinking about you. I know I have no right to be hurt because you are what he considers his Mama. maybe he's not used to it yet. He already missed you even if it's only one night since the both of you separated." Xane laughed a little

I smiled at him. I don't see any envy in his eyes. The smile on him is genuine. I watched as he arranged the orders on the table.

"Daddy's telling the truth Mimi... I miss you right away. I thought I was a big boy, but not yet." Guardian snorted causing me to laugh softly.

He's so cute whenever he pouted his lips.

"You just want a kiss from Mimi," I chuckled and kissed his cheeks. He smiled and hugged my waist.

"I love you, my Mimi forever."

“Aw... My Guardian is so sweet... I love you so much too. Remember that, hmm?” I whispered to my son and placed a kiss on the top of his head.

Xane smiled suddenly so I looked at him. He's busy watching us while smiling. When our eyes met I smiled at him. I know he's going to be a good father to my son. he just really needs time and time to be with and get to know Guardian completely.

They're just starting. They have so many years to spend.

Guardian is not difficult to tame. Just give it a pack of potchi and it will immediately come to you.

Because I wasn't hungry, I didn't realize that I had eaten more. I stopped and looked at the father and son. Guardian's mats were curious as they watched me.

"Are you that hungry Mimi? Didn't you have breakfast?" Guardian asked curiously

I blinked and smiled. what should I answer? That I was so tired because of the hot incident between Keegan and I? My cheeks suddenly got hot because what happened happened.

"Actually, I just woke up when you called. Mimi doesn't want to let you down. Mimi loves you remember?” I asked my son softly.

My son cheekily nodded his head.

"I know that Mi! I love you too. Mimi, you should eat more. I don't want you to starve yourself. You're making me worried.” Guardian said weakly and added more food to my plate.

I hope if you'll grow older. You will not change. Stay sweet to me my guardian angel.

I looked in front when Xane presented a glass of pineapple juice.

"Thank you," I muttered and sipped on the straw.

I was suddenly taken aback because he didn't take his eyes off of me. His curious eyes landed on my neck. I raised an eyebrow at him to ask what the problem was.

He titled his head a bit and watched me more. His lips then lifted for an amused smirk. What is his problem?
