Chapter 45

The two of you are taking a bath now and I am sitting here on the stairs. There is no children's pool here so I need someone to watch over and hold my child because this swimming pool is so deep, Elizabeth still can't swim.

They're not that far from me but it's like I'm not here because they don't pay attention to me or even look at me but even so I'm still happy to see them both. Xander seems to be teaching Elizabeth to swim, they both look cute so I can't help but smile.

It disappeared immediately to see that there were women here staring at Xander and as if they were admiring him, in their gaze it was as if they were undressing Xander!

"Tang*na, maybe they can't do anything in life!" I couldn’t help but promise and hit the water.

I will shoot this man approaching me. "Hi miss--"

"F**k off!" Irritate my promise.

"The snout!" The man said leaving at once. Tsk, I'm afraid I'll chase him, I don't know him.

Never mind, I don’t care if I look ridiculous because of the experession of my face right now. Kainis naman kase! What did they think of Xander? Lechon that can be eaten like that ?! If you can stare, it looks like Xander is a huge dish!

"You've been frowning before, what's wrong?" I was suddenly awakened by that voice. I looked in front of me and here now is Xander staring at me.

"A-Ah, I'm not frowning." Why are you suddenly nervous Elyse!

Just relax, no one will bite you here as in nothing unless they are zombies or horny chos!

I noticed that Elizabeth was not next to her so I was surprised. "Wait, where's my son?" I averted my eyes, hoping you'd hit.

"Just go to the bathroom, it'll come back too." I breathed a sigh of relief at his answer.

"What? You can't really take a bath?" He asked.

"No, I have a wound on my arm so look at those, you really want to eat it." At the same time, the three women who were still staring at him and the evil look on my face the other day simply pointed out.

I frowned when he suddenly laughed.

"What's funny Xander?" I asked him a serious question and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Nothing, you're just cute when you frown."

What? Cute? I?!

I swallowed hard and tried to calm myself before I spoke. "A-All right, I'll just go to Elizabeth first." I promise I will stand together.

"Wait," I was surprised when he took my hand and pulled, I was even more surprised that I was completely wet in the water.

"Xander! Look what you did oh, you read that bandage!" I don refer to the bandage on my arm.

He didn't speak he just laughed so I quickly pulled his hair.

He's holding my waist now, I don't know if I'm going to punch him because he's chansing on me or I'm going to punch myself because of what I'm thinking right now.

"Daddy Xander is here with me-- are you going to kiss my Mommy??!" I was shocked to see Elizabeth standing on the side.

I pushed Xander hard and because of that I sat down on the stairs again.

"Come on Mommy, you don't need to push Daddy Xander like that. It won't change anything, I already saw--"

"Saw what??" We once asked.

"Saw you and Daddy Xander so close ... you know what I mean." It laughed softly as if thrilled.

"You know what Elizabeth just come here, we're not done yet right?" She smiled at Xander and lifted him up.

I looked at the woman approaching us now. "Hello! Ma'am and sir, maybe you want me to take a picture of you three, you're having fun as a family, maybe you just want to?" He asked us with a smile.

I noticed the camera he was holding so that's probably what he will use to take another picture of us.

"Mommy family picture daw!" The joy is evident in my son's voice.

"But we're not family--" I cut off my words because of Xander.

"Yeah, sure." He said that's why I couldn't lie down.

I felt his hand wrapped around my waist and gently pulled me closer to him. It was cold here in the pool before but why did it suddenly get hot, especially my cheek.

"One, two, three ... smile!" The woman said so I smiled widely. He cli-nicked it a few times so make sure we don't have just one picture on the camera.

"Thank you ma'am, sir! Please enjoy your stay here at the hotel. By the way, your son's cuteness is inherited from sir."

I don't know if I'm going to laugh or be weird at what he said. I would have liked to tell him that Xander is not my son's father but it's tiring to explain so I won't bother answering now. He's not part of my life and even more so I'm not his mama or maybe jowa to explain what.

"Thanks a lot." I just said then bowed to him. The woman left and I don't know why I breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

"I think I inherited you Daddy Xander!" Laughing Elizabeth said.

"Yeah, we look alike." They both giggle with laughter, they look like crazy my god!

"Mommy tell me, will Daddy Xander and I look alike?" They are both staring at me now and it seems like they are waiting for my answer to my son's question.

"Uhm

..."

"No, the distance of your face sweetie."

"How far is it, I'm just close to Daddy Xander." Philosophical child really at any time, here I am.

"Maybe you're teaching my son that?" I asked her.

"Pointed? What do you mean?"

Does he still want me to speak English? Nakakaasar ah, nasa pinas tayo pero panay ang english nya!

"No, I said you're handsome." At the same time I struggled with him.

"Yieeee Mommy he's g-handsome to Daddy Xander!" This is my son's teasing. The forehead furrowed.

"Sweetie just a joke, okay."

"So, you mean that I'm not handsome at all?" Wait, he might think I'm a lalaitera, I didn't say he was ugly, did I? I didn’t say that.

"H-Ha? Eh, what the heck... you're handsome of course I didn't say you're ugly." We're friends, so there's no malice in me saying that he's handsome, that I made him handsome.

"And you are beautiful." It seems like it's very nice that he said no.

I scratched my nose and bit my lower lip to keep from smiling. I tried to avert my eyes, disgusting because he was staring at me now.

What the heck? Is that just a friend? Or is there something? Otherwise I think hayst, if you're not really asexual I'll think you like me Xander.

"Mommy what happen? What happened to your arm?" I stopped at Elizabeth's question. I immediately covered my arm with my hair.

I sneezed before speaking. "No sweetie, it's just a small wound."

When we finished taking a bath, we went back to the bedroom and after getting dressed, we ate.

"What kind of car do we have?" I asked as we walked out.

It's afternoon now and we'll probably arrive at his house in the evening. It's also close to 4 pm so we can really stand it, especially if it's traffic.

"A car," was his only answer. Elizabeth and I just followed her, surprised because we were going to the yellow car, she put our things in the backseat and opened the door for us.

Wait? What is this? Where's the car... it's already broken in his car but the tires are flat and-- the mess!

Is this his car again? Does he have a new car? How many cars does he have? ' I had a series of questions in my mind.

I suddenly woke up when he spoke.

"Elyse? Come in, it's raining oh, we need to go home quickly."

Although I was still a little confused, I didn't go inside. I noticed that Elizabeth was sitting in the backseat.

"Sweetie are you okay there?" I asked and he smiled at me.

"Yes, Mommy."

I also smiled at him back.

"Wear a seatbelt Elizabeth." I said and he followed what I said.

"You also wear a seatbelt Mommy, then you also Daddy Xander." I laughed because we weren't wearing seatbelts yet. I'm wearing a seatbelt and so is Xander.

He started the car, I looked at him and he was just looking at the road seriously.

I took a deep breath. I just turned my eyes outside first. I frowned when I saw a man standing in a tree, he looked at me and smiled. Suddenly my body hair stood on end.

"She's creepy." I can't help but say.

"Who?" I turned my gaze to Xander.

"Ah, what if there's a man standing in a tree, he looked at me and smiled. That smile was a bit scary, like the creepy one when he smiled."

"Are you sure he's looking at you?"

I frowned at his question. It's as if he's pretending that maybe I'm just feeling that the man is looking at me!

"Yeah, I'm not assuming Xander. I'm pretty sure he's looking at me."

"He must be crazy then." I looked at him annoyed because of what he said.

"Just look at me, you're crazy right away? You're serious, it's like you're saying that only crazy people will like me!"

"No, you're wrong. It's just crazy not to like something like that ..." I would have been thrilled but there was more to say.

"... you stupid."

"I hope it's okay, you added more. Tang*nang gagu." I whispered at the end and it looks like he still heard it because we were really close to each other.

"Make sure I don't hear when you tell me gagu." I should have lowered my voice even more so that he wouldn't really hear.

"I'm sorry Sir Xander."

I said and glared at sys.

"I told you not to call me Sir Xander again, do you want to end our friendship right now hmm?" He asked as he looked at me.

Gabe, I just called him sir!

"Just a joke, tsk." I crossed my arms and stared at him. I glanced at Elizabeth and saw that she was just using her cellphone. He's on a headset, maybe he's listening to music or maybe the radio?

I approached Xander and whispered.

"Is your cellphone holding my son?"

"It's her phone, I bought it for her."

Its answer that amazes me a lot.

"What? Why ??" I should be the one to buy that for my son because I am the mother and I promised Elizabeth that I would buy him.

"Because I want ...?" He asked for an answer.

I would have asked if my son asked for it, it's a good thing I didn't ask because I was thinking wrong.

I couldn't help but smile as I stared at him. "Thank you so much Xander, thank you all."

"You're welcome." It said and even messed up my hair.

A few minutes later I noticed that my son was asleep in the backseat, it was good that he was wearing a seatbelt.

"Whose car is this?" Suddenly I asked him.

"It's mine, I can just buy it and it's too bad it won't break right away."

I'm right, it's with him and it's just a new purchase. But where did he get the purchase map? That's really my number question, where did he get to buy a cellphone, a car and the hotel payment? The only problem is that he doesn't have a job, he just stays at his house as if he's just locked up.

"It's okay with the car you left on the road, isn't it? It's just okay so it's new again." I said and he didn't even speak.

We were probably quiet for about five minutes so I decided to talk again.

I was hesitant to ask this question that was on my mind. "May ... do you have a job Xander?"
