Chapter 46

Damian's POV

I checked to see that the time is 8:01pm, and she was no where in sight. I was getting nervous, I didn't plan on going to her house without her authorization.

But what if she does not come?

Just then, I heard the car pull up in the drive way. I tried to look as bossy as possible so she doesn't go all tough with me. But God I was glad she came, I had to change my decision of us meeting at the hotel.

I wanted her to come meet me at home, so I can tell her my own side of the story. I also didn't want to anything thing for the media to dwell on, it has been very difficult keeping my life as private as I could.

She walked into the sitting room, I stood up to face her, and God she was looking very beautiful in her body fitted blue jeans and white chiffon ruffled top she had on, her hair styled into a bun.

She looked ravishing.

"You look beautiful" I said, after some moment of awkward silence. It amazing how I am still fond of her after all these years, I always feel complete whenever I am around her.

If someone had told me back then in school before I met Erica, that I will be hooked up to one girl, irrespective of the distance and lack of communication I would had have a good laugh.

But here I was, getting all nervous for a girl every time I set my eyes on her, nearly a decade later.

Not just any girl though, my girl.

"Please sit down" I said pleadingly.

Even though, my eyes did more of the pleading, she took a seat, with her legs crossed and hands folded. She looked so innocent just like I have always know her to be.

"We need to talk and iron out our differences" I said looking at her straight in the eye.

"What does it matter now" I heard her mumbled under her breath.

"It matters a lot to me, I hate the fact you have never given me the opportunity to tell you about what happened that night, you just drew your own conclusions" I said looking at her while she fondles her fingers.

"Even if you don't want me anymore, it is only fair you hear my own side of why I left you that night" I said calmly.

Erica's POV

I felt bad after listening to all that Damian had to say, I should never have judged him the way I did. I was so engrossed in my own grieve that I failed to realize he might actually going through a tough phase himself.

I don't know what I would or what I would have done, if I should loose any of my parent.

"I'm sorry" I said as tears flowed down freely from my eyes. Wishing I had known all that he went through. It must have been really tough on him, been an only child and all.

"Don't say you are sorry, you had your reasons for been angry with me which I truly understands. I wish I did more in finding you" his voice sweet and apologetic.

"oh my God, I was so selfish" I said sobbing, as my heart ached in pains.

"No you were not, you were just been human, anyone could get upset, especially when they are kept in the dark and I am so sorry for not explaining the situation of things to you earlier. He said wiping the tears of my face with his face towel.

God I love this man!

"Where is Sophia now?" I asked.

"I haven't set my eyes on her since that night I left you guys together, she had moved her and her mothers things out of the house before I came back" he said, a bit of anger evidence in his voice.

I gently placed my hand on his, as our eyes locked and instinctively my head tinted to his till our lips met each other in a happy reunion.

Just then his phone rang, he gets up and walked to where he kept it to answered the call.

"Hello?"

"What?"

"No, I don't think so"

While answering the call, I noticed he was looking at me while he spoke to the caller, when he was done, he looked really disturbed.

"What is it?" I asked getting uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me.

"You have a son? He asked in a surprise state.

Even though I felt he was going to know about our son sooner or later, what I wasn't expecting, is to be taken completely off guard. I wasn't sure of how to respond as I nodded my head in affirmation to his question.

I watched as he ran his hand through his head with a worried look on his face.

"I'm sorry for not telling you earlier" I said and would have said more, but the door opened and two men in suits and dark shade walked in.

Why do people wears shades at night?

Damian excused himself to go talk with the gentlemen, I could hardly hear what they were saying as they spoke in a hush hush tone. I started feeling uncomfortable when they randomly just take a peak at me.

I checked the time to see that it was already past ten. I started getting restless because I had promised the baby sitter I got for Alex, that I will be back home latest ten.

As soon as he finished discussing with the men, they left. He walked back to where I was seated, his mood unpredicted.

"I have to start going back home" I said as I stood up.

Even though I would want to know what he has going with him, I suddenly had this intense desire of going home to be with my little boy.

He looked at me, and asked "do you trust me?" I was completely thrown off guard as to why he would ask me such a question out of the blues.

"Of course I trust you" I said, looking him with a questioning stare as to why he was looking restless.

"You have to spend the night here" he said.

"No I can't, I promised Alex baby sitter I will be back before ten" I said trying to pick my purse and my phone that was on the chair.

"Alex, that's your boy's name?" he asked.

Yeah, I answered nodding my nodding at same time.

"please I really have to go, okay?" I said trying to walk passed him.

"I will go and get him" he said still blocking my way.

" okay, that means I will have to call his baby sitter so she can release him to you" I said as I opened my purse and brought out my phone.

I dialed the house number, it rang but no one answered it, I tried again still no answer.

"That's strange, she usually answer the call anytime I call" I said looking at a now confused looking Damian.

"They are not at home" he said looking at me,

"What do you mean they are not home? If they are not at home, then where are they?" I asked, looking at him to talk to me, because it was obvious from his expressions that he knew more about their whereabout than he is letting me in.

"They have been kidnapped" he said and I felt my heart stop.
