Chapter 48

Erica's POV

I woke up the next morning feeling very tired and hungry, didn't eat anything last night, I checked to see that Alex was still sleeping.

Poor child yesterday must have been hectic for him. I checked to see his temperature was fine as I pull the duvet to cover him more, the room was icy cold.

As I was about leaving the bed, I heard the door opened, Damian came in, carrying a tray of beacon, egg, cheese sandwich, jam donuts, yogurt and nice looking juicy apples. My stomach rumbled at its mere sight.

But, been that I am still angry from our little fight last, I pretended not to be interested in what he was carrying.

"Good morning" he said carefully placing the breakfast tray on the empty bed space before me.

"I figured you might be hungry so I woke up early to prepare you something, I wasn't sure of what you would like, so I pretty much just did a little of all these so I can still catch you in time on bed" He said, while he fixed his eyes on the tray.

I just sat down on the bed realizing how amazing this gorgeous, breathtaking, super fabulous this man before me is. I mean, I don't even deserve him. I found myself falling in love with him all over again, our eyes met and it said so many things our lips failed to say.

"Your breakfast is getting cold he said, bringing me back from my fantasy world. Honestly, I wasn't so sure at the moment which breakfast I wanted more, him or the contents of the tray before me.

I found myself getting sexually arouse but when my stomach starts groaning again, then I knew I needed the regular food before not this sex god before me.

"Thanks" I said, with my eyes fixed on the tray which seem a bit distant to me now after I sat up. As I was about bending over to carry the tray, he carried it and sat on the edge of the bed as our eyes locked for some Bollywood seconds.

He took a piece of the sliced apple and fed me with it, his finger brushing against my lips sent shivers all over my body, only if he knows how much I truly love him, but he is getting married to another and this breaks my heart.

"Are you guys having a staring contest" Alex said looking at both of with some kind of interest.

His voice jinxed Damian and I out of our trance as Damian almost spilled all the content of the tray he was carrying on the floor while putting the tray on the bed, but thankfully nothing fell.

"Good morning Alex" I said bringing my son closer to me while touching his hair.

"Wow you made donuts mum, thank you" he said taking one of the donuts and taking a deep bite from it. Alex likes his donuts, especially when it comes with a jam.

"I didn't make these Alex, he did" I said gesturing to Damian.

"Thank you Mr Damian, you rock!" Alex said excitedly with his mouthful.

"You are welcome" Damian said looking at the young lad.

"And how are you feeling this morning Alex" he asked.

"I'm fine thank you" Alex said paying little or no attention to Damian.

"I will be in my room if you guys need anything" he said, as he makes his way to the door.

"Thanks" I said which made him turn and smiled at me, after which he was out of the room, closing the door behind him.

"Your boyfriend is super nice mom" Alex said, while still munching on his donut.

I looked at the young man wondering if he truly understands what he is saying.

"Why do you say so?" I asked.

"Kim said her father always makes her mother breakfast in bed and that I too should learn how to make it" he said innocently which made me chuckle and laugh at the same time.

"When are we going back to our home?" he asked after some moment of silent.

I almost answered, this is home, at least for you.

"Soon" I said, as a million thoughts flooded through my mind. What happens now? Will he allow Alex to continue staying with me? Is he going go try to get Alex custody after he is married, or are we going to be co parent?

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said as I focused my attention on who is com in in.

The door opens and a middle aged woman probably in her late fifties came in, she needed not tell us who she was. The resemblance was nothing I have ever see.

"Hi Erica, my name is Cynthia and I am Damian's mother" She said with a warm infectious smile. I quickly stood up from the bed and found myself wrapping my hands around her for a warm hug.

"Nice to see you ma'am" I said, she smelled of beautiful sunset flower and had a peaceful aura around her. Damian had never really talked much about his mum, but from glance, one can tell she is a jolly good woman.

"Its good to finally meet you" she said

"Same here" I said, suddenly back to my shy mood, there was this peaceful aura that eluded from her.

"And you are Alex I suppose?" Cynthia said directing her attention to the little boy on the bed.

"Hi" Alex Said from his sitting position on the bed.

"Sorry I have to go now, just wanted to make a quick stop and say hello, hope to see more of you both" Cynthia said, smiling. With that she left the room.

I can't believe Damian told his mum about us, that's so touching I think.

"Mum let's go home" Alex said.

"Okay, just hold on, let me go check Damian so he knows we are leaving soon" I said.

He nodded his head and I smiled at him before exiting the room. I walked to the sitting room to see Damian lying down on a couch.

As I climb down the stairs, he turns his face to see that I was the one as he gets up to sit.

"I met your mum" I said, suddenly feeling nervous again.

"Yeah, she insisted on saying hi" before leaving he said.

"Leaving to where?" I questioned

"She runs an orphanage up town, so she spends more time there" He said

"I'm sorry about last night, I was selfish for not taking responsibility for my actions." He said, his voice genuine and calm.

"I'm sorry too, I should have told you about Alex from the onset" I said.

"Its alright, it feels good to know that we are both on the same page, so what do we do now?" He asked rubbing his hand over his hair.

"You have to introduce yourself to your son" I said

"But what if he doesn't like me" he asked.

"Trust me, he likes you already" I said with a chuckle, trying to look everywhere else but his blue sexy eyes.

"I want you both to stay with me" he said as his eyes searches for mine.

"What about Cassandra, your bride to be?" I asked, unable to hid my jealousy.

"She was never a threat and will never be a threat to you at all" he said as our both eyes met and held each other for some moment.

"You know, I thought I lost you all these years, I never knew you had a part of me with you all this while, you are strong and amazing.

Thank you for giving me the rare opportunity of been called a father" he said with a sexy baritone that made me blush sheepishly.

"I love you Erica and I really do wish there is more I can do to prove just how much I love you" he said moving closer to me and closing the distance and barrier between us.

His expensive cologne tingled my nose as his body was just a few inches from my body.

"I love you too" I heard myself say as both our lips crashed against each other in a battle for supremacy.

"What is going on here?" Cassandra questioned in anger.

We both sprang apart and I could feel my heart vibrate, as my eyes fell on the meanest looking face I have ever seen.
