They were all done having breakfast.Valeria and Shantel were in the kitchen doing the dishes while Noah and Fred were in the living room watching a cartoon which was suggested by Fred.Fred sat on Noah's lap, his head was on his chest, he was so comfortable in that position and Noah couldn't stop smiling.He felt so proud to have his son seated on his lap."Fred." He called."Yes papa," Fred answered, not taking his eyes off the television.The word papa made Noah's heart leap with joy each time Fred calls him papa and now he thinks it's only right to tell Fred that he truly is his father."Won't you pay any attention to your papa? Papa has something to say," Noah said with a smile."But papa, I might miss the interesting part," Fred whined."You don't have to worry, we can always watch it again and we can even watch it with you mama next time.""Really?" Fred asked, his attention still on the TV."Yes, so can I turn it off now?" Noah asked, and Fred sighed."Okay papa, you can turn
Noah chuckled softly."Come on son, I'll teach you how to swim." Noah said with a smile."I know you're a big boy, but in some cases you still need someone to help you."Fred definitely loves acting more mature for his age."Thank you papa," Fred said.Noah got into the pool, then he held his hands wide open."Come, son." Fred swallowed, he wanted to go to Noah but he was still scared.Noah saw the fear in his eyes."You don't have to be scared of anything, I'm here for you and I won't let anything happen to you. Do you trust your papa?" Noah asked.Fred looked at Noah for sometime, then he nodded."Good, now come to me." Noah said.Fred slowly bent down and he wrapped his little arms tightly around Noah's neck, almost chocking him.Noah couldn't help but laugh."You don't have to be scared, you can let go of me slowly and let's swim." Noah said."It's cold papa," Fred complained."I know, but it's still refreshing, isn't it? and you know it's sunny." Valeria sat watching them with
Noah looked at Valeria, wondering what was keeping her."Valeria." He called and Valeria flinched."What's wrong? Who's calling?" He asked.Valeria turned to face him."Ergon."Now Noah understands why she didn't get the phone."Let's go son, I guess we've had enough swimming for now," Noah stated with a smile.Fred shook his head."No papa, I still want to swim for a little bit longer, please papa, please." Fred pleaded with a cute pout."Now how could I ever refuse you, son," Noah said, and Fred cheered."Thank you papa." He said, hugging Noah tightly. "But since you're let to learn how to swim by yourself, your mama will come help you while I go take a call, is that okay?" He asked. Fred nodded."Valeria, please come stay with Fred, he still wants to swim.""Okay," Valeria replied, then she went back to the pool.She took Fred from Noah.Noah placed a kiss on Fred's forehead before swimming to the edge of the pool and then he got out.He went to where he kept his phone on a chair
Valeria couldn't tell if he was upset or not, he simply left without saying anything."It's all for his good," she muttered to herself."Now I'll have to look for the room Fred is in." She said.She sighed, then she went upstairs.****Next day.....Valeria was still sleeping when her phone began to ring. She groaned in her sleep, then she stretched her hand and took her phone from the bedside table and answered the call still with her eyes closed."Hello." "Valeria, good morning, you and Fred didn't return yesterday." She heard Shantel's voice and that sobered her.She hurriedly sat up."Shantel," she called."Yes, Val, it's me. What happened? You guys didn't come home yesterday." "Err...yes Shantel, well you see, Fred wanted to stay here and you know I can't refuse him, but we'll be coming home today." Valeria said and she heard Shantel sigh from the other end."Okay, take care, and kiss Fred for me, I miss the little man so much already." Shantel said and Valeria smiled."I will,
Valeria managed to hold Fred tightly so as to prevent him from falling."Adrianna!!" Noah thundered.He held Adrianna's hand tightly and pulled her away from Valeria.Noah landed two slaps on Adrianna's cheek."How dare you hurt my woman!!" He growled.Adrianna couldn't believe what Noah had said and neither could Valeria.Adrianna's eyes were beginning to get watery. She placed a palm on her right cheek. Noah had slapped her so hard and it hurt like hell. She was too stunned to say anything.Fred's bottom lip began to tremble as he watched the drama unfold and soon he began to cry.Fred's tears only fueled Noah's anger. He felt like hitting Adrianna again but he couldn't repeat what he did in front of Fred."Take Fred inside Valeria," he ordered, not taking his gaze off Adrianna, who was still speechless.Valeria stood rooted to the spot, she was still in shock."Now!!" Noah barked. She flinched.She swallowed nothing, then she hurriedly left."Shh....enough honey, mama is here, tha
Valeria wanted to give in to the kiss but questions are still left unanswered.She forcefully pushed him away."Enough!!""Now this is the problem, Noah, you just think all problems can be solved through sex. You keep confusing me!""Valeria. What are you saying? I don't understand.""I just can't bring myself to do anything with you, not when I don't even know my place. What kind of relationship is this? What are we? Am I just your sex toy? Your baby mama? What am I to you, Noah?""A lady showed up here and claimed you as hers. I don't even understand Noah. Sometimes I think you're only with me because of sex or maybe Fred.""If sex is the reason, then please Noah, I don't want anything to do with you, I won't let you use me and then get my heart broken again. I know this all started with a deal but I'm willing to work my ass out to pay you for what I owe you. And if this is because of Fred, then you should know I have no problem with you seeing him. You can come see him anytime you
"Papa me too, me too," Fred whined when he saw this and this made Valeria and Noah laugh.Noah went to Shantel and he kissed Fred on his forehead.Fred held Noah's face with both hands and also kissed his cheek."Thank you son." Noah said with a bright smile.Shantel stood there feeling so confused as to what was happening."Will you come again papa?" Fred asked in a sad voice."Of course, son, I'll come over tomorrow. You know I can't stay away from my little prince," Noah replied. Fred chuckled."Do come over, papa," Fred said once more."I will baby." Noah went back to Valeria."I'll see you tomorrow," he said. Valeria nodded.They both stared at each other for sometime. Noah felt like kissing her again and doing so much more, but he couldn't do that in the presence of Fred."Stop staring at me and leave already," Valeria chuckled."I'm going to miss both of you." Noah sighed."I wish we could all live together, Val, isn't that possible?" He said softly.Valeria didn't have an ans
Next day....Valeria woke to the sound of her phone ringing.She groaned as she placed a hand on her forehead."Who could be calling this early morning," she muttered.She took her phone from the bedside table and when she saw who it was, she immediately sat up.It was Noah who was calling.Valeria had yet to answer the call but she was already blushing so hard and her heart was racing.She cleared her throat, then she answered the call."Hello," She uttered softly."Hey baby, good morning." Noah's morning voice was sounding so deep and sexy, it gave Valeria a tingling feeling down there."Good morning." She replied shyly."Did I wake you up? Hope I didn't.""No no, you know I'm not a late sleeper, I was up already." She lied."What about Fred? Still sleeping, I guess.""Yup, you know him, he's just like you," Valeria said, and she heard Noah chuckle from the other end."Yes, I know, he's like me, but I pray he won't be like me in some aspect. You know what I mean."Valeria understoo
As much as she was dying to turn around, she tried as much as possible not to turn around. She didn't want him to see her, she wasn't even prepared to meet him. "Hello, Noah, you came?..." Valeria took a quick glance at her mom, who was smiling with all of her sparkling teeth in the open. Valeria wished she could actually shake her head, seeing her mom act like a child at that very moment in time. She must have called Noah, she did it!""Dad! You're here!" A happy Fred ran towards them at full speed. Valeria's heart began to beat even more. She wondered if coming to the beach was all her imagination. Maybe she was peacefully sleeping in her bed while dreaming of what might happen just in case she went to the beach. That must be it.Well, she didn't care what was happening there right now, but she really needed to wake up from her dream as soon as possible before things took a different turn. Valeria immediately shut her eyes tight and opened them, hoping to find herself, but she
*********Three months later...."Mom! Mom! Let's go out to the beach, I heard it's way cool at the beach!" Fred tried to pull Valeria off the bed, but she wasn't going to get up, not even if the world came crashing at that very moment."Not today, please. Let me be Fred, I promise I'll take you there some other time.""But mom...that's what you said last month, and the last two weeks," Fred complained."Come on Fred, mummy isn't in the mood to go out now. If you really want to go to the beach, I can take you there, you know.""Really, grandma?" "Yes, of course, my grandson.""Come on ma, you still aren't strong enough yet, I don't want you falling sick again," Valeria stated, sitting up straight on her bed. "I know, but I also learnt that it would really help me a lot if I could go out more often.""That's for sure mom, don't worry, when I'm feeling a little better, I'll take you both, is that okay?" Fred heaved a long deep sigh and nodded his head. "Okay, mom," with that he left
Valeria woke up the next morning, feeling her body ache like crazy. She turned and slowly opened her eyes, only to be met by a pair of blue eyes, staring down at her with an expression she could best describe as longing. "Oh my goodness!" Valeria jolted up to a sitting position the moment she noticed it was Noah. "Hey, what's wrong?" Noah asked with a smile on his face. "Good morning love," Noah said, giving her a beautiful smile that immediately made her heart skip instantly. She looked down at herself only to see that she was stark naked. Immediately, she grabbed the bed sheets and pulled them up to cover herself immediately. "What, don't tell me you feel shy now, not after the wild sex we had last night," Noah said in amusement.Valeria shut her eyes and bit her bottom lip. She knew she was going to regret it. The worst part of everything was the fact that she had let herself sleep until the next morning. She could see the rays of the sun reflecting on the room. "Hey, don't b
"Aaaaaa.." Valeria moaned each time she felt it hitting at the right place. She wrapped her hands firmly around his waist as he moved into her, ramming her with full force. He filled her to the brim and rocked her loop hole. She can't remember when she last had it, but at that very moment, she knew this was something she had missed. Their sex was so familiar and what she wanted. She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist as he continued to push in and out of her. "Arrghh, this is what I missed, tell me you don't want it," Mish said as he began to slow down but never stopped what he was doing. "I...I...don't stop please..." Valeria pleaded, that seemed to have fueled his hunger as he began to hit and rode her like a horse. "Arrrgh!!! Yes! Yes! Don't stop..."Noah increased his pace even more. They'd been going for an hour but the need was intoxicating. She didn't want him to stop, and neither did he want to stop either. "Valeria, you have no idea how much I wanted to make love
Just as she tried to step away from him, she tripped and was about to fall to the ground. Right at that very moment, strong arms held her firmly on her waist and pulled her up, but unfortunately, she landed on his chest. She stared down at his rosy pink nipples. Valeria quickly gulped down whatever it was that clogged her throat. How could this happen to her? This was a terrible temptation and she would be a goner if she didn't escape from him at that very moment. "M..Mr Noah, can-""Why are you acting so nervous around me Valeria?" Noah asked, cutting her off. Brandy? The smell from his mouth was brandy. Does this mean Noah has been drinking? She quickly took her gaze up at him, only to be met with a pair of blue eyes, they seemed dark and dreamy at the same time. "Noah, I think you're drunk. Why don't you go back to bed?"Noah lowered his gaze on her, while still holding on tightly to her waist. "Valeria, you want to know why I'm this drunk, right? What if I tell you it's be
Valeria stared at the bright room from her room window. It was dark and the moon was beautifully shinning in the night sky, giving its light to the earth. At that moment, she wished she was the moon, and no one could reach her, even though they could see her. She wished all of what she was experiencing was all a bad dream which she would have to wake up from. It is too complicated for this to be real. She was having the best life ever. How come the life she lived turned out to be a lie just like that? She had said she wasn't going to cry, but at that moment, she couldn't help herself. Tears clogged her eyes and threatened to fall off. What exactly was she supposed to do at a time like this?She slowly shut her eyes and the tears she had been holding back came pouring out of her eyes freely. She quickly placed her hands on her lips and sobbed uncontrollably. It was hard to take in, her life was a terrible mess. She can't remember anything because she was being fed the wrong medic
Noah balled his hands in a fist. Ergon wasn't just a drug addict and a liar, but a despicable scumbag as well. How dare he do this to Valeria? How the hell was this him showing her he loved her? Ergon had never been deserving of Valeria's love from the very beginning. He knew it. This was the worst thing Ergon had ever done. He watched Valeria walk lazily back to the hospital room. He needed to talk to her, else they wouldn't have enough time to talk anymore. He quickened his steps so he could get to her immediately. "Valeria, I want us to talk about the-""Let's not talk about anything for now, Mr Noah. I just want to be alone," she quickly interrupted him and walked quickly to the room. Noah heaved a long sigh of frustration. Things were getting from bad to worse right there in his very presence, and there was nothing he could do. How did things get complicated in the twinkle of an eye? Noah thought about Ergon and what he had done. There was no way in hells name he would allo
While Mrs Shiella and Fred were having fun with their drawing, Valeria made an excuse for wanting to go to the restroom and immediately exited the room. She looked around hoping to find the doctor's office. "Looking for someone?" The familiar voice asked. Valeria quickly turned around and saw Noah. He was putting on grey coloured joggers and a hooded cardigan. That was her first time seeing him dress that way, she guessed. He looked quite different and that gave him some sort of cool appearance.He walked towards her with his hands in his pockets, and his expression, relaxed, unlike before when he looked quite disturbed and restless. "I..uhm," Valeria became short of words at that very moment. "I'm looking for the doctor," she blurted out. She believed she didn't have to hide that from him. "Did you bring it?""Bring...what?""The medicine," Noah said, as if he was so sure that was what she wanted to see the doctor for. She shook her head while staring at him. "You're so sure
Valeria immediately hid the phone underneath the pillow before hurrying to open the door. "Hey, my love, I'm sorry for keeping you, I was having a nap," Valeria lied. "I'm so sorry for disturbing you, love. I just got a little break and decided to come see you. I missed you so much. Ergon walked over to where she stood and pulled her into his arms. "And I missed you too, darling," Valeria replied, wrapping her hands around him as well. "I could tell. By the time I'm done with what I'm doing, I promise that you will be the happiest person.""Huh? Really?" "Of course, my love.""May I know what you're working on?" Valeria asked. "Nah....if I told you now, it would no longer be a surprise, don't you think?""Hmm, that's true." Valeria suddenly perceived a sweet smell on Ergon's shirt. That was unusual. Ergon wasn't a man who cared about perfumes, and to top it all, it wasn't just a man's perfume, but a woman's. If there was one thing she could point out about a cheating man, it w
