##Chapter 27

Hugh Mikhail



My heart was pounding. Diana closed her eyes and putting her hand to her face to hide her tears, sobbed. I felt more screwed than I already was, I wanted to hug her and tell her that everything would be fine, but nothing was that easy.

Charlie showed signs that he was going to wake up, but I gently rocked him and cuddled him back to sleep. When I looked over at Diana, she was looking at us with tears in her eyes.

— I'm sorry you went through all this, I'm sorry about your dad too. she finally said after a while.

"I feel it too..." I whispered looking into his eyes.

- Do you know how hard I tried to try to forget you? To try to live without yourself having a living memory identical to you? He referred to our son.

"Let me fix everything, please."

“I was happy with Caleb. I finally manage to give him a chance after so long stuck with you even though you are distant and then you reappear and...' She paused briefly, looking lost. “I need some time to absorb all of this.

“I'm here and I don't intend to go anywhere unless you want me to. Let me make up for lost time, I promise you won't regret it. I ask you.

"Can you give me some time to think?" he asked me, wiping his face.

"I'll wait as long as it takes for you to be mine again." The corner of her lips turned up in a slight smile, but then she tried to get serious, very quickly .

“Well… it's late. She held out her arms for me to hand her the baby.

"Can I put him in his crib?" I asked and even hesitating she allowed it.

We got up from the sofa in silence and then Diana led me to a colorful and very well arranged room, Charlie's little room. It had a crib that turned into a bed, several stuffed animals drawn on the walls , and a built-in wardrobe.

I gave my son a long kiss and put him in his crib, missing him before I even walked out the doors. My head was in doubt, what if even after knowing my reasons she didn't want to be with me? If I still preferred Caleb because I loved him and didn't feel anything for me anymore?

— So that's it... I'll be right there. I said without moving.

I did not want to go.

"So yeah ..." she said looking at my mouth.

Neither of us wanted to distance ourselves, it was evident in our gazes. I looked back at her full lips, how I missed that mouth. In fact, I missed everything about her, her body, the heat, her legs wrapped around me as I drove deep inside her.

My cock suddenly throbbed.

"Do you want dinner?" she scratched her head as she asked.

- Clear. I set off fireworks inside.

He would never pass up an opportunity to spend more time with her.

"Just don't try anything or I'll kick you out of here."

"I promise not to try anything you don't want to." Which isn't to say I can't think of trying. I winked at her.

“I almost forgot that you're a jerk who likes to make small sexual jokes.

“You used to like it.

- Who said?

his face said.

- Behave yourself! — he warned me — Let's eat. —we walked into the small but splendid kitchen.

A few minutes later, I helped myself to a plate full of pasta with stuffed meatballs. It was so delicious that we barely spoke a word over the course of dinner.

- You did that? I asked when I was done.

— Yes, I looked up the recipe on the internet. It is bad? she asked worriedly.

"On the contrary, it's very tasty." I ran my tongue over my lips.

I noticed her get restless all of a sudden. When she was done, I made a point of doing the dishes, just like she did when she was at my house.

"Thank you so much for inviting me to dinner." It had been a few days since I had eaten real food.

- You are welcome. I felt like she wanted to say something else. She was quite agitated as she led me to the door.

- Good night sleep well. - I dared to pull her waist and kiss her cheek in a long way.

Her body shuddered, I pressed my fingers a little more on her skin, I didn't want to let her go, I wanted to kiss her lips, love every bit of that perfect body. The proximity made my cock tighten inside my pants, driven by arousal, I dared to plant another kiss on her cheek.

Diana gasped. I knew she was feeling the same as I was, it made me sure that I still had an effect on her, that she too wanted and wanted me.

"Hugh..." He whispered my name pleadingly. But he didn't leave my arms, made no effort to stop me.

"Let me kiss you, princess." I murmured , touching the smooth skin of her sweet-smelling neck with my lips.

Ah, that vanilla scent!

Diana purred like a sly cat, she wanted me to continue but wouldn't dare to ask, on the contrary, she would ask me to stop even her body telling me not to.

"No…" She got the words out with difficulty.

- Why not?

- I don't want.

— Your skin, your body, your eyes, your heart tell me something else. - I squeezed her waist more by gluing our bodies in order to make her show my erection.

Even at the risk of getting a nice slap in the face after that, I turned her towards the closed door and claimed her lips at once. I grabbed her hands and pinned her arms above her head as I forced my tongue into her mouth.

She moaned with pleasure allowing my kiss, I kept kissing her madly, killing my longing, devouring her wildly. To my surprise, she reciprocated, with surrender, with desire, with lust and passion.

- No! he suddenly exclaimed, pushing me away. “I'm with Caleb, I can't betray him. I already cheated! What the hell! Why did you kiss me?

“You wanted this as much as I did. I backed away giving her space.

“Just go away. Will soon. Please..." he pleaded pushing me against the door, I immediately opened it and left.

I got home without even realizing it, I was guided by some force majeure. My thoughts were confused, I was upset and angry. Crap! I shouldn't have kissed her, we were starting to understand each other and like an idiot I couldn't resist .

That night I didn't sleep. The next day I took the same route to work as usual, already looking forward to the best part of my day, which was picking up my son and spending the afternoon with him.



- Good morning my friend. I heard Hunter's voice echo. I looked back and almost fell in fright when I saw Rick following him .

— Rick?! I exclaimed in bewilderment.

- I don't believe! Fuck, what a coincidence. He chuckled, hugging him and patting him on the back .

- Do you know each other? Hunter asked.

- Yes! We shared the same cell for two years. — he could talk so smoothly about it.

— So I'm going to have the two best fighters/trainers in the country, because you, Rick, go back to your personal post today and Hugh continues to train the guys . — I was still confused, they noticed that and then started to explain.

- We are brothers. I ended up being released for good behavior all of a sudden , I didn't even think it would be possible anymore.

“Yeah, that idiot got caught with drugs and guns, spent nearly ten years in prison.

— You never told me why you were there, you just said you had been tricked. - I spoke.

“And he was. He was so into a skirt tail that the bitch tricked him right into delivering guns and hard drugs in a stolen car, said it was stuff from his move to a friend's house and the sucker ended up getting caught.

"Fuck off, motherfucker." Who has never been crazy about a woman who throws the first stone. - Rick said and punched his brother's arm who laughed.

"Damn, I'm glad you're here."

"Now it's time to lift your head and move on." His strength amazed me .

I considered myself a strong man for everything I'd been through, but at that point in the championship I didn't know if being optimistic would do anything. I was almost… giving up on her.

- Now let's work. Mikhail, the event is next weekend, don't forget. — I nodded and started to prepare things while the staff did not arrive.

When it was one o'clock in the afternoon, I had already fulfilled the entire agenda, there was no one else for the afternoon period. I spoke with Rick who was leaving, would stop by the house and then pick up Charlie with Chelsea. The thought of always having to take him in someone else's hands made me sad, maybe a weekend away would be good for me to clear my head.

“Rick, it was really nice to see you. I need to chat with you.

— It could be right now, I'm leaving too, where are you going? Shall we drink something?

— I can't drink now, I'm going to get my son.

- Son?!

"Damn right, you didn't know." In fact, I didn't even know... It's a complicated story, let's go get him with me and I'll explain everything to you on the way.

- Beauty.

I decided to take a shower in the gym locker room, then I went towards Diana's store, on the way I told Rick everything, I felt a weight coming off my shoulders, lately I felt so alone when I wasn't with Charlie and having someone to vent to it was very good.

“You're fucked. While I'm glad you took my advice and sought her out, after everything you've told me, I can only give you one more piece of advice. Listen. You need to go talk to her tonight. Say how you feel at once, no bullshit. Let her know you're not going to be after her forever, you need to live your life if she doesn't want anything to do with you. Time is precious, you will always have your child, but women, there are a lot of special ones out there too.

I pondered his words and couldn't say anything about it, deep down he was right and that's exactly what I would do. As much as I told Diana I would wait as long as it took, I wouldn't have been willing to do that if she'd already given up on me. If your intention was to be with Caleb, then I really needed to know so I wasn't expecting something that wasn't going to happen.

It was one thing to get her forgiveness. It was another to make her give me another chance, leaving a guy who supposedly made her happy and was there for her when I wasn't. I had decided that we would have a final conversation about the two of us, even if the outcome of it ended up crushing my heart.

Ten minutes later we were at the reception of the store and to my surprise or confusion, Chelsea wasn't there waiting for me as usual with my baby in her arms. There was no one at the reception, I waited for another five minutes until the elevator opened and a brunette woman with green eyes got out of it with my boy in her arms.

“Hi, I'm assuming that's Charlie's dad, the damn Viking who broke my friend's heart. I widened my eyes in such petulance.

— Or, or, or pretty, except that my friend had his reasons. Rick spoke.

- And who are you? I asked her, picking up Charlie and showering him with kisses.



— My name is Ramona, I've been friends with Diana since she got on a jet in tears. I swallowed hard. "What about that big guy over there?" Is it your bodyguard?

“I don't need a fucking bodyguard. I said irritably.

“I'm his friend, Rick. Great pleasure. — was it just me or was Rick trying to flirt with Ramona's beast?

"I already got what I came for." Let's go. I called his attention.

But they seemed to be staring at each other in silence and not listening to anything I was saying.

"Rick!" I called louder.

“Oh, of course, of course. Let's go.

I went home looking forward to nightfall. Now that I already knew Diana's home address, I wasn't going to deliver my son to any damn store, I was going to hand it over to her, to her door and there we would decide if there was still a chance for the two of us.
