Mine

Chapter Five

Luisa's POV

“He knows!” I screamed. I was in my mother's apartment with Jenny and my mother.   I couldn't find it in me to sit down ever since his visit.  There was something in his look that screamed he knew.   I was pacing.

“Can you sit down?   You are making me feel dizzy.” Mum said.

I ignored her trying to find a solution, "Maybe I should leave the city?"

"Or maybe he has no idea.  You are just giving yourself unnecessary problems." Jenny rolled her eyes.  

I stopped to face her, "You should have seen his look.  He is obviously up to something."

My mother sighed, she seemed tired because that was the only thing we had been discussing ever since I arrived at her place.  "What if he had no idea and you are blowing this out of proportion."

I was certain.   No, not sure, but my instinct was mostly right. 

"What if you tell him and nothing happened?  I still believed he had the right to know." Mum said. 

He had the right or not.  I couldn't care about that.  The only thing is how to save myself and Chris. 

"How about I leave the city?  He wouldn't know, right?  He wouldn't have any idea where we are." I was rumbling.  I held Jenny's hand.  She looked doubtful.  "I am sorry, Jenny, but I can't continue working in that house with my son at risk. I will go back to my grandmother."

"And?"

I looked at my mother, "And nothing."

She shook her head.  "What about your dreams?  You are giving up again.  I thought you were ready to charge forward.   I thought you were ready to move on with your life but a small challenge and you are running back into your hole.  You are not even sure he knows or even wants the baby." She stood up.  "Jenny, talk to your friend." She left the room.

I sighed. 

Jenny was staring at her like she grew two heads.  "I think you are overthinking this.  I know you have no idea who he was.  I have been working with him for a long time and he may look strict but he is actually not that bad.  I don't think he will separate a child from his mother.   And I think he likes you."

She wasn't getting me.  

"I think you are confused, Jenny.   He doesn't like me.   He just wants to use and dump me.   He is not the marrying type."

Jenny sighed, "I don't know about that but you shouldn't put your life on hold again."

Why can't anyone get that this is not about me?

"Okay.  What if I stay in the city but find another work and change my house?"

Jenny shook her head, "You are only being paranoid.   Just because they look alike doesn't make him his son automatically.   He wouldn't know."

Maybe that's true. 

"You sure?"

She nodded.  "Don't lose a good opportunity because of your fears?"

I sighed and then went to pick Chris up.   "It's just that he is the most important person to me and I don't want to lose him."

Jenny stretched her hand to carry him but he cried.   He doesn't let strangers carry him but he allows Kingston to carry him.   Was it blood? 

"Chris, it's aunt Jenny. '' she cooed but he swatted her hand away.  " I won't buy you chocolate."

At the mention of chocolate, his head swipes in her direction observing her hands.  When he saw nothing, he turned back to me. 

"He ignores people just like his father too," She joked. 

I rolled my eyes, "Don't mention father in his presence?  He might start questioning me."

"Then find him another father.  Let's go clubbing tonight, the way we used to."

"Not interested."

Her eyes were wide, "Why?"

I pointed at Chris, "I have responsibility."

"Your mother is there for you.  The only way to forget a man is to find another man."

"I am not planning to forget or have a man in my life.  I am satisfied with this boy."

"I don't care.  You are going clubbing with me tonight."

I could only grumble.  But with my mother's support that I need some fun in my life, I was dragged to the club against my wish. It was the same club I had met Kingston and that brought goosebumps to my skin.   

"Look at you shivering.  You need to get laid, babe."

She pulled me inside.  The noise from the music made me shrink back before I adjusted my ears to it.   This was the lifestyle I loved.   I loved clubbing, grinding and throwing my cares to the wind.  But with Chris in my life, I preferred staying at home and spending the day with him. 

"Babes, mingle." She was already shaking her hips.    The dress they made me wear was so short that I had to be pulling it down.  

"I really don't want to be here," I screamed because of the music volume. 

"You will get used to it back.  You are getting a man tonight."

She pulled us to the middle of the dance floor and started dancing.  I felt guys grinding their dicks to my bum. 

"You see, still the life of the party," she said then added as an afterthought "You will be fine."

She left me alone to get drinks at the bar.  I was enjoying myself and throwing my cares to the wind just like in the past.   I haven't had a drink yet but I already felt drunk on the dance floor.  I was also grinding my ass to my partner now.  He looked handsome;  he was tall, and had full lips but not as handsome as someone I know. 

"You sexy," he said.   

I nodded, maybe I do need to get laid.  

"Should we get a drink?"

I rolled my eyes, "I know what you are getting at.  Let's just get a room directly."

"Straightforward," He smirked. 

He started pulling me out of the dancefloor.   I was chuckling that was when I saw him.  I wasn't expecting him there.  He was glaring at the guy behind me.  The guy I was ready to take to bed without any idea of his name. 

"Do you know him?" He whispered to my ears. 

I nodded because my throat felt dry at that moment.    

"You…" he pointed at the guy. "Leave.  She is mine."
