Chapter 45
Erica's POV
"Mum you are late" said Alex, as I rush over to where he was seated with the other students.
I rushed down after waking up thirty minutes passed Alex closing time, Damian was still sleeping when I left as I didn't want to wake him up.
I more or less just sneaked out, I didn't know how I was going to face him after what happened between the both of us.
"I'm so sorry M's Patrick" I said to the teacher who was still waiting for late comer parents to come pick up their wards. She just smiled at me while she sat back down with the remaining students who their facial expressions varies.
"I'm sorry Alex, I was caught up with work in the office" I said, as I walked with him back to my car. I felt bad for totaling forgetting the fact that I was suppose to pick him up from school.
I opened the car door and we both went inside. All this while, he was uncomfortably quiet.
"Hey, Alex I said I was sorry. I promise to always make it on time from now on" I said, looking at the young man who looked disturbed.
"Do you have a boyfriend now?" He asked staring at me in the eye.
"Boyfriend? Alex, Where do you get all these stuff from? first you have a girlfriend, and now you are asking if I have a boyfriend? Is all these Kim?" I asked, I can't believe that I am sounding like a mother in law looking for any opportunity to call out her daughter in law.
"No, its Tricia that said her mum always forgets to pick her up whenever she has a new boyfriend, and when the mum eventually comes, she will look all messed up with different injuries like the one you have on your neck" he said strapping on his seatbelt while my hand instinctively moved to the spot Damian had nimble on.
I tried to hid my embarrassment and look normal. While trying to carefully pick my next words, or better put, lies.
Alex, come on, If I have a boyfriend you will be the first to know, I am sorry for coming late to pick you up" I said with a calm tone with the hope that it conveys how deeply sorry I was for not been there on time to pick, like what sort of mother would forget her child at school.
My phone started ringing, I picked the phone to see that it was an unknown number calling.
Seriously Cassandra or Damian are the last set of people I wish to speak to, considering the obvious. I took a deep breath as I answered the call.
"Hello" I said.
"Hi Erica, so sorry I couldn't call you earlier, can we move the shopping to tomorrow perhaps? Cassandra said with a bright and cheerful tune, making my heart pound a million times over.
"But I got a message from you earlier to com...." My voice died down after realizing that Damian may have used her phone with her consent.
"Its okay, tomorrow is fine by me" I said trying to hid the nervousness and guilt that filled up my entire body.
"You are such a sweetheart, talk to you in the morning then, bye" she said and hanged up the call.
As soon as the call ended, my mind drifted to what happened between myself and Damian, I felt bad for not been able to control myself.
Like what was I thinking?
I don't seem to think straight when I'm with him, I found myself reminiscing on how great the sex was and how wonderful it felt to have had an over the top orgasm.
I can't be thinking of him in that way, I am his bride to be bridesmaid.
J.... ust then, a message popped on my screen, I opened to see that its from an unknown number.
I want to see you tonight at the same hotel. My driver will be picking you up. You don't wanna know what I'm capable of, should you fail to show up. Be here at exactly 8pm.
Damian.
This is so annoying,the fact that he thinks he still owns me and can order me around like his little puppet makes, if he thinks I will come running to him like a lost puppy, then he is in for a shocker.
Is he trying to turn me into his booty call or something?
"Mum!" Alex screamed jinxing me out of my thoughts and making me aware that we were almost hit by another car.
I'm sorry" I shouted, so the other driver could hear me, after which I drove off, trying to avoid Alex prying eyes.
"it was totally my fault, I got a little distracted and I'm sorry Alex I said giving him a side look.

Erica's POV
"Is that a limousine in front of our house" Alex asked as we drove closer to our home.
Omg!
I can't believe he actually sent one of his drivers to come wait on me.
I checked the time to see that it was 3pm. I rolled my eyes as I park my car and before I could speak with Alex to wait for me in the car, he was already running towards the limo.
Kids and fancy cars though.
ugh!
I walked towards the limo as the driver came down and walked up to me.
"I'm so sorry ma, you were not suppose to notice I am here, Mr Anderson asked that I wait for you so I can bring you to him by 7:45pm" he said in a professional manner which made me look at him in a weird manner.
like how was I not suppose to see a limo packed in my property.
"Go tell him I'm not coming" I said, to the driver.
"Ma, that was what I was afraid of, please he insisted that if you don't come with me, I should not bother coming back to work for him and I really need this job. I have six kids and my wife is pregnant with the seventh" he said.
Wait,what! Seven kids in this hard economy and here I am complaining about one child.
"Then sell the limo, and make a run for it" I said dramatically.
"I haven't thought about that yet" the driver said looking lost in thoughts.
Is he actually thinking about selling the car?
"But you know these cars are tracked and I will be caught in no time" he said looking at me. That means the dumb ass has actually contemplated on selling the car, how can he not see that I was only joking.
"Where is the other driver, and how do I know he sent you? I asked getting irritated with the fact that he actually took my silly joke serious.
"He is on leave ma'am" he said with a smile, obliviously he had sensed my displeasure and wants to act all nice.
"please sir can I have a ride in your limo" Alex asked with a pleading tune.
"But of course, hop in" the driver said, his Italian accent he tries so much to hid evidence in his voice.
He opened the door to the limo as Alex hopped in happily.
I watched my son feeling on top of the world as he checks out the interior of the car. his excitement got me into a bad spot, but I tried not to let the emotions over take me, only if Alex knew his father own the car he is begging to take a ride in.
"Okay I will come with you, but if you ever speak of seeing this little boy with me to your boss or anyone, I will personally see to it that you are fired" I said in a threatening tone.
"Yes ma'am! The driver snorted back mimicking a military salute.
"Alex come on, let's go get you something to eat" I said pulling Alex out of the car.
