I decided to walk down the street to the park to watch Kade.

"Ophf." I said as I fell to the ground. 1

"I am so sorry. I should watch where I am walking," I told the person I ran into.

"Elena, we really should stop meeting like this"

I looked up and there was Brian Matthews.

"I would rather we not meet again at all. Now if you will excuse me," I quickly walked around him.

3

"Now Elena, I know you don't mean that." Brian said as he grabbed my hand.

"Oh, I do." I yanked my hand back and kept walking.

"What did I do to make you hate me."

"You are just another guy. Just like the rest of them."

"I can show you I'm different if you give me a chance." Brian said stopping me again.

"No. Now Mr. Matthews I need to go see my son." 7

"You have a son?"

"Yes. Now if you will excuse me."

"Can I meet him?"

"No you cannot. Now let me..." I was cut off by

"Let me meet him and if he does not like me I will be out of your life for good." 1

I thought about that for a few minutes.

"Fine."

Brian smiled and kept walking beside me.

............

"His name is Kade by the way," I told Brian.

"Elena!" Kade said as he ran toward me.

"Hey Buddy. This is Brian and he wanted to meet you."

"Hi. I'm 4," Kade said to Brian holding up five fingers.

Brian slowly pushed one finger down, smiled, and said, "there you go."

Kade looked at his hand and then smiled.

"I like you. Want to play?" 4

"Sure," Brian said.

Kade grabbed his hand and pulled him to the playground.

...........

Brian's POV

1

Son? She seems too young to have a son.

"Do you like my sister?" Kade asked snapping me away from my thoughts.

2

"Sister?"

3

"Mommy and Daddy died. I don't remember them much but at least I still have Elena."

I looked at this kid in front of me. He was four years old and smarter than any four year old I had ever met.

"Can you get me some ice cream?"

I looked over at Elena. She was talking to an older woman. She was beautiful. Her brown hair was curled softly down to about the middle of her back. She had green eyes that changed to a dark blue. I had no idea how she didn't have a boyfriend. The older woman smiled and walked away.

4

"Let's ask your sister."

I walked over to Elena and said, "so your brother wants some ice cream. Is he allowed to have some?"

Elena looked at me. "He is my son in a way. I wasn't lying."

"I know. He told me. He is very smart for his age."

"They say I can't provide for him like other families could. They want to take him away from me." Elena said looking straight ahead.

Her eyes widened with shock. "Here I am telling this to a man I met yesterday. What am I thinking? I'm sorry. I really should be going."

I softly grabbed her hand, "how about that ice cream?" 1

...............

Kade, Elena and I walked to the closest ice cream stand. Kade and Elena ordered and she went to grab her purse.

"My treat," I said handing the money to the cashier.

"Why are you being so nice? I don't understand." Elena whispered as we walked away.

"You do not know me," I told her.

"Well Kade, it was a pleasure in meeting you but I need to get back to work."

"Really? Do you have to leave Brian?" Kade asked me quickly.

"I'm sorry buddy. I will see you again soon."

I walked over to Elena and whispered, "call if you want to know more about me."

3

I waved to Kade and walked away.

 

Elena's POV

How dare he walk away like that. This Brian Matthews is really getting on my nerves.

"Elena, I like him." Kade said.

If he brings Kade happiness that's all that matters. 2

"Good. I'm sure you will see him again."

Kade stood up and said he was ready to go.

"How was your day with Mrs. Smith?" I asked.

"Good I guess. I just wished you were home more."

"I know. Me too."

We finally arrived to our apartment. It wasn't much but it was a place to call home.

"Elena, I'm sleepy."

"Okay buddy. Let's go to bed."

I picked Kade up and took him to his room. I laid him down and he was already asleep. I kissed his forehead and walked into the living space.

The phone began to ring.

"Hello."

"Elena it's Brian. Can I please come and talk to you tonight?"

"Why should I say yes."

"I'm trying to do everything I can to make you see I am different but you still don't see it do you?"

"I'm sorry. I have had a ton of heartbreaks and I don't allow myself to get close to others." I mentally slapped myself for saying that. My mouth doesn't seem to shut around him. "Fine you can come over but don't expect much."

I gave him the address and hung up.

"I'm glad I just cleaned" 1

I asked motioning inside.She nodded softly opening the door wide enough for me to get in."You're house is lovely." I said looking over at her. Her nervousness was slowly fading away.

    It's so hard to let someone in. I haven't even known Brian for a week and I'm already "engaged" to him. You can't develop feelings for someone in that amount of time.3I look up and notice I have no idea where I am. I walk over to a table with a few photos on it. I gently pick one up and look at it. A man and woman that resemble Brian is in the picture. A younger Brian and a Brian look alike is between to two staring at a baby in the woman's arms.I study the picture for a moment and pick up another. Brian and the Brian look alike are smiling at the camera with a little girl sitting in the floor crying."I see you met Ben and Carly."The frame drops from my hand and scatters across the floor in several shards."Oh my gosh. Brian I'm so sorry," I say as I get down on my knees and begin to pick up the pieces.

We were quickly seated outside and a waitress took our order as soon as we sat down barely paying any attention to myself."And for you sir?" The waitress said batting her eyelashes at Brian.Brian said his order reading off the menu paying her no mind.1She walked away swaying her hips more than necessary."Everywhere we go someone tries to flirt with you," I tell Brian."Who is jealous now, Mrs. Winters?"1"Oh, I am not jealous. I am just stating the facts. However, you actually were extremely jealous of Jackson.""Jackson?" Brian said looking puzzled."The

    My eyes gently fluttered open to an empty spot beside me. I looked over at my alarm clock. It was 8:26. I knew Brian was already home from work and would want to talk with me. However, I'm not sure I want to talk with him right now. I stood up from my bed and stretched. I walked to Kade's room and seen him in Brian's arms. Brian was swaying back and forth as if he was putting Kade to sleep. I looked at the two of them with an awe. I never knew Brian was so good with children. Kade eventually fell asleep and Brian sat him into his bed, tucked him in, and placed a slight kiss on his forehead."I promise to give you and your sister the best life that I can," I heard him whisper as he pushed Kade's hair out of his eyes.Brian stood up and went to walk toward the door. I quickly walked back to my room and laid down on the bed. I'm not sure if I want to face Brian just yet. He is so confusing at times. One minute he is the perfect gu

    Fine, fine!" he rubbed his face, "whatever you want, just... don't do it." "Don't get involved in my life, and I will not get involved in yours." **** **** After Matt was dealt with, I felt much lighter. The next day was a Saturday. I woke up first, like usual. On most days, Irene slept in. She had admitted to me that for years, she could rarely afford to sleep in the mornings with the kind of work that she did. Now that she could work on her own time, she took full advantage of it. Thoughsleeping inwas a relative term. She would never stay in bed past eight thirty. I would make breakfast, and we'd have it together before joining our family in the tennis club. 2

    I see." I stepped closer until I could whisper in his ear, "I don't give a fuck about your excuses, Matt. We both know what's really happening here. But I'm not dealing with you tonight."I pushed past him towards Irene. I would deal with Matt properly, and by the time I was done with him, he would come begging for mercy.1Irene smiled and rose when I reached her. The interpreter looked more than relieved to be spared signing the two women's words. What kind of crap had they been spouting?The two women looked at me with wide eyes. They scrambled to their feet."Oh, Leo! I didn't know you were coming?" one of them said, her name was Elizabeth or Isabella or something like that.I gave her a look and wrapped Irene in a short hug. She might look calm and unaffected, but I knew her enough to read the anger in her face and body. She wa

    Leo"So, what do you think?" Lydia asked me as soon as I picked up my phone."About what?" I replied, motioning for Brandon to take the documents I just signed. He nodded and left the office, closing the door behind him. I turned my chair to look through the ground to ceiling glass behind my desk. The city below was busy.4"Ugh! I sent you a video of the venue five minutes ago!" Lydia said.I closed my eyes. "Lydia. You know neither Irene nor I care about the venue. We just want to get married.""You are going to be the death of me! I can't wait for Irene to come back!" she screamed and hung up.I sighed and checked the message she'd sent me. It was a video of yet another wedding venue. This one was outdoors, in what looked like a lush garden. Irene would like it.Except that, unlike

    Nathaniel held on for about a year, respecting Irene's mother's wishes to leave them alone. But then he started looking for them again. It was about the time his company faced difficulties. So Eve made him the offer to pull his company off the ground if he would drop all efforts of looking for his daughter. Nathaniel did. And that was why I would never get along with him. He had chosen his company over his child. I didn't care about his excuses. Nothing in the world would keep me from my child. 3 The man hadn't even had the guts to tell Irene the whole truth back when she asked why he didn't look for her. Nathaniel was a selfish bastard. 1 Sure, he was now present in Irene's life, trying to be a father to a daughter who'd been through more than he could imagine. I didn't care

Irene was sitting with the twins on a couch, engrossed in what seemed like a senseless conversation with the two toddlers. She was so good with them, it was no wonder Julianna worshipped the ground Irene walked on. Well, pretty much everyone did, really, not just Julianna.1Jayden, Grayson and I were standing by the french doors of the living room leading out to the garden. The weather was nice enough to keep them open."So, I heard Megan stopped by the exhibit," Jayden said. I made a face. Irene must have t

But I had decided I would get my life together, and the first step in doing that would be to face my past.I took a deep breath and nodded, "yes, I'll meet him."Leo hesitated for a moment.

    I had lunch with Julianna, then headed to the library. The coffee shop was only a ten minute walk from the center, so I walked there. It gave me time to think. What did I want to do with my life?The answer came immediately. I loved painting. If I could paint for the rest of my life, I would be the happiest person alive. But I also knew that it wasn't easy to make your name known enough in the art industry in order to make a living out of it. I did want to try, however.Which meant that I had to find a job to support myself, while at the same time working on getting my paintings out there.A job? Most well paying jobs require a college degree. With Julianna's payment for the mural and what Sophia paid me for the painting she commissioned, my bank account was no longer suffering.3When I reached the library, I went online, did some research, then some calc

    She grinned and propped her chin on her hand, "you're not going to tell me it's too dangerous."I rolled my eyes with a smile, 'now you're just being mean.'She laughed. The waiter arrived with menus and left. Irene wrinkled her nose at her menu."I have no idea what half these dishes are," she said. There was humor in her eyes. I relaxed.'What are you in the mood for?' I signed.She pondered over it for a moment, "I'm craving seafood."I scanned the menu, then signed, 'trust me?'She pretended to think about it with a deep sigh, "Maybe. But youarea good cook, so I'll just have to take my chances.""Alright, smarty pants," I said with a smile. Her sense of humor had gotten more... unrestricted recently. But only with me, and I loved it.Food arrived.

    Leo's eyes landed on Mrs. Braxton, he stopped beside me. I was now surrounded by three giant, over protective and angry men. I felt sorry for the hotel staff.8Two guards took a few steps back and stood behind the young employee. The poor guy spoke with a bobbing throat to Jayden, while Mrs. Braxton stood her ground. Her stubborn chin raised, but her features had gone from contemptuous to cordial when Leo and Jayden joined us.The only time I had seen Leo this mad was at Lydia's birthday party, when he punched that man, Matt. And just when I thought things had gotten blown way out of proportions, life proved me wrong. Nathaniel Braxton and his son, Vincent, walked up to us with matching frowns.Of course! Join the party!
