Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Night With My Ex's Father : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

"Good," she stated. "I don't trust that boy at all.""Are you okay, Theo?" she asked, directing her attention to him when she saw how deep in thought he was.He nodded. "All good, ma'am.""Great," she blurted, finishing up her last sip of tea. "Nina, can I borrow your car? I want to pay a visit to Callie's grandmother. I hear her arthritis is acting up again and I want to see if there's anything I can help with.""Sure, mama," I said. "Keys are next to the door.""Can we have a movie night?" she asked hopefully, standing up and I grinned at her."Of course."With one last kiss on the top of my head and a goodbye to Theo, my mother opened the front door and closed it behind her. It automatically locked after it shut, and I sighed as I pushed myself off the chair. Theo was staring at me when I rounded the table, letting myself straddle his inviting lap while making sure to be careful with the tattoo on my hip.He took my hands, giving me a multitude of kisses along my knuckles and finge

"You okay, baby?" I murmured, letting my fingertips stroke the curls away from her eyes. "Did you have a good shower?"Nina nodded, smiling at me lazily when she gave me a small kiss on my index finger. I grinned, unable to stop myself when she did it again and again, planting small and quick kisses all over my hands. My eyes softened, knowing that she was showing me affection the same way I did to her.It made me feel good inside, but I didn't think my heart could take it anymore. My chest felt heavy with emotion, and how much I cared for her scared me. Nina had the potential to wreck my life, but I couldn't do anything else but lie there and stare at her peaceful face with the thought of how I never wanted to lose her.Even if she could ruin me in a heartbeat.Nina didn't know how relieved I was that everything was okay between the two of us. She also didn't know how pissed I was about the entire Sidney situation. I tried not to make it obvious that I was filled with disgust and dis

I leaned against the edge of the counter, waiting for Nina to step out of the shower. She had been in there for a while, and I listened to the spray of water hit the tiles while I busied myself with bouncing my knee. I was nervous-the tiniest bit.But it intensified when the water stopped and the glass door slid open.My body went still. Why am I nervous? It was the thought that she might not like what I had spread out for her that had me feeling anxious. I took a deep breath in, glancing around the kitchen one more time to make sure everything was in place.Nina needed a little cheering up, and I had no problem doing that for her. From her favourite flowers to her favourite dish, I could only hope that she liked it. I really hoped she liked it.Am I doing too much? I questioned myself.When it came to Nina, I wanted her to be happy and satisfied. Most of all, I wanted her to feel loved. Yes, that was it. I needed her to know that my heart belonged to hers. Even if it just meant getti

"Oh my God," Nina whispered to herself, rushing out of her chair and down the hall. "I'm a mess."I opened my mouth-hoping to catch her attention, but she disappeared into the room and left no room for me to speak. I wanted to tell her that there was no need for her to fix herself up, but noises of cupboards and drawers opening and closing could be heard.I smiled as I approached the door, still reeling from Nina's words. I love you. There wasn't a thing in the world that made me happier. I wanted to hear her say it over and over again.My smile dropped the moment I remembered who was on the other side of the door. It morphed into a distasteful frown.What was she doing here? It was the last thing I expected. And the last thing I wanted. She was my mother, yes. But she had hurt me in ways I couldn't fathom and knowing that she was there was a reminder that I didn't need.I took a deep breath in, letting my hand rest on a handle. She knocked again, nearly shaking the doorframe with the

"Hi, baby," Theo's voice was soft, and gentle and all that I wanted after a long day of classes. I stepped aside to let him in, and I couldn't help but admire how good he looked in those glasses."I'm so happy to see you," I said softly, feeling relieved. I was tired but when Alice asked for an emergency babysitter, I couldn't resist. I was happy to."Why?" Theo said, gazing down at me. "Are you hungry?"I chuckled, nodding my head. "You got me.""Ah," he murmured, giving me a look as he set all the items down in the kitchen.I cradled Oliver in my arms, holding the bottle to his mouth. He drank as if he had never been fed before, and I scoffed a small laugh when he gasped for air and started drinking again. He held the bottle, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that he could keep his own bottle in place.I nodded in approval, sitting down as I let him enjoy his meal."You're so beautiful," Theo murmured, catching me off guard and I grinned at the compliment. He stood with his han
