His Baby Mama

Prologue?

THE CREEP😲

Damm it, why didn't I just remember to get the frosting when I was coming, and now the cake if half made and there's no frosting, how am I supposed to make a birthday cake for my child when there is no frosting.

Hitting my head i groaned out loud.

" Mum there's no problem, the cake is beautiful without any frosting, i don't like frostings any ways," my baby boy tried to make me feel better but I know deep down he was disappointed, the cake was not going to be ready in time for his fifth birthday tomorrow.

No!, I can't let my bundle of joy down, I shook my head and looked at the old clock hanging from the wall.

Nine fifteen it said.

It wasn't so late I can just buy it quickly and get back.

" Hold on baby, mummy is gonna get the blue frosting for you ok,? " I told hin noticing the sudden brighteness in his face.

I patted the huge curls on his head. Before going to get my purse from the living room where I threw it earlier.

I checked the purse and put my baby's cartoon before heading for the door.

I locked the door carefully after confirming all security devices where on. I left the house in a haste without properly checking my surroundings, not evening noticing the shadow that followed.

When she did, it was already too late.

*********

Chapter one

Leslie sat up groggily and sighed,

Mondays, lord did she dislikes Mondays.

But, a single mum's gotta do what a mum's gonna do.

She threw her legs out of the bed and shoved them harshly into her soft bunny slippers, she stumped her way to the bathroom to go about her morning business.

After taking care of herself she went to wake the little rascal. She got to his room and knocked. No one answered.

She knocked again,

Silence.

" Alex?" She called but no answer.

She opened the door and poked her head in to see no one in the room. She got in and closed the door behind her.

" Alex" she called again, this time she heard a gurgling sound from the bathroom, she opened the door to the bathroom but there was no one there,

She was about to move out of the room but something cut her eyes, something red.

She walked closer to the sink to see blood,

Blood

Just a drop though, nothing to worry about, but she turned again to the door to see drops of blood trailing to the shower.

" Alex,?" She called again

Badump, badump, badump

Her heart was going at sixty miles per hour.

She walked slowly and carefully following the blood trails to the shower, she could see the outline of a small body.

" Alex" her heart was in her mouth now.

She harshly threw the curtains aside only to see red hanging from the ceiling.

Alex had hung his red pj's in the bathroom.

Again

" ALEXXXX" She screamed, this boy would be the death of her,

She looked at the PJ again and noticed something.

What the.

" ALEX IF YOU DON'T GET HERE RIGHT NOW I WOULD SKIN YOU ALIVE" She screamed.

Alex ran into the room with a guilty face, his hands where covered in red substance.

Die.

" What did you do" she pointed at the cloth and then at his hand.

Alex smiled goofily showing his missing teeth.

" Umm, don't be mad" he started peeking at her, he held his hand and was twisting them.

" Uhu" she raised an eyebrow to stare at him.

" I saw this really cool tie and die pj's on YouTube and I tried to do mine and that happened " when he explained he raised his face and gave her his most pitiful face

She looked at him for a while then sighed, she didn't even know what to do to him at this time.

" Wash up and_ "

" Already done that" he said to he with an accusing expression, that was when she looked at him and saw that he was already in his uniform but his hands where red, she wandered how he wore his uniform with red hands.

" Oh, ok come have breakfast then" sh said and walked out living him behind.

" But what about _ " he held up his hands to show her his red hands.

Revenge time.

" I was not the one that asked you to do it" she said not looking back at him.

" But_"

" Your hands your problem" she interrupted again.

" But I can't go to school like this" he cried in agony pouting cutely, but unfortunately for him Leslie was not having any.

" Like I said, your hands, your problem" she laughed at his wronged face and headed to the kitchen.

"my reputation is ruined" he cried dramatically, Leslie laughed at him not minding him.

" Come on mum" he whines like a little girl, am sure he learnt that from his sissy classmates.

" Hey hey hey, your not going to change my mind with that whining of yours, put yourself together and man up" she commanded like a soldier, Alex dramatically clenched his hand, puffed out his chest and saluted

" Yes mum" he cried like a soldier, he stayed like that not moving until Leslie couldn't hold it any longer, she burst out laughter before motioning him to come closer so they could wash his hands.

The little rascal sure knows how to persuade his mother to do his bidding.

Leslie put the finishing touches around the house and drove off to his school, as they got closer to school Alex became increasingly quiet.

She stopped her car in the parking lot of the school, it was a really big school though. She turned to him and held his hands

" What's wrong?" She asked him quietly, Alex turned away from the imposing building and stared at his beautiful woman beside him with his gray eyes.

" Nothing" he said trying to smile but she was his mother after all

Leslie sighed and held his face between her palms, she kissed his forehead before looking at him with her equally grey ones.

" You know you can tell me anything, that is what am here for ok baby?" He nodded

" Ok, you can tell me when your ready, but I hope no one is treating you badly " she asked, he hesitated for a bit before shaking his head.

He was lying and she knew it.

She sighed again

" We would talk about it later ok? "

He nodded again before stretching to the door.

" What what what, not even a goodbye kiss for mummy" she pouted to show her disapproval.

Alex laughed and turned, he puckered his small round bow shaped lips and kissed his mother on her lips.

She smiled at him and waved him away, he got down from the car and watched his mother drive away.

He turned to the imposing building, he looked at it for a second before walking in with a sigh muttering

" Alright let's get another day over with".

Leslie drove away with a lot of things on her mind, Alex was not having a good time in school.

What could be the problem, she had to find out and eradicate any thing making her baby sad.

She stopped at a coffee shop and walked in not noticing the eyes following her all the way in.

Chapter 2

Desmond yawned after waking up feeling happy for no reason, he just knew that that day was going to be a good day for him.

He had an early morning meeting and something inside of him was telling him that it was going to go great.

He stood up from the bed and went to prepare for the meeting. He went into the bathroom after his morning activities which includes exercises to maintain his Adonis shape.

He went downstairs to his dinning room, he stopped and looked around the big house wandering when he would have little kids running around.

Having been raised in a big family he longed for company and noise, he wanted a wife and probably four kids.

He sighed and went into his kitchen to prepare a light breakfast, while having breakfast he got a funny text from his sister and chuckled.

He went through his Instagram and Facebook and liked pictures. He came across a selfie of a mother and son, he stared at the picture especially the woman for a long while before screenshot it.

In his gallery was an album of twenty five picture, only of the mother and son, his social media crush.

He envied her husband, such a woman was hard to find

Hold on.

He tapped her profile and went through all of her pictures but she had no pictures of her husband, he checked again and saw that her status was actually single.

A bright smile appeared on his face, he quickly sent a 'hi' to her inbox and waited.

After a while he did not get a message. With a thought to try later he went to wash his plate and got dressed.

On his way to the office he saw a familiar shop, a small cafe owned by his friend, he decided to stop by to say hi.

He walked and and went straight to the counter where a middle age lady was arranging her muffin.

He snatched one and bit into it earning a hit.

" You rascal, you never change," the woman grumbled giving his laughing figure a side eye before turning to the kitchen.

He hurriedly followed her to the back seeing that she had more at the back.

He ran out after a minute mouth filled with cookies and muffin that muffled his laughter as the middle age lady chased him out with a rag trying to swipe at him.

They where running around until suddenly a light chuckle stopped them in their track.

Desmond turned to the voice only for his heart to stop for a second. The cookie between his teeth fell to the ground as his jaw hung loose.

Standing before him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even more beautiful than her picture, she had a pretty smile and a nice grey eyes.

She smiled at them and greeted them but Desmond seems to be having a daydream.

A hit in the arm woke him up, the middle age lady whispered at him

" Keep staring at her like that and you would scare her away" she walked away to get more things.

Desmond snapped out of reverie and went to her, he grabbed an apron and wore it hiding his suit.

" Hi, what can get you I" he said nervously, he frowned and cleared his throat,

" I mean what can I get you" Desmond corrected

Leslie laughed happily at the handsome and funny man, sending the poor man's heart on over drive.

" Well I would like a cup of creamy coffee and some blue berry muffins please" she said but the young man was mesmerized by her smile.

She smiled again causing him to chuckle nervously.

" Umm, one cup of blue berry coffee and creamy muffins coming up" he hurriedly said before shuffling to the back leaving behind chuckling employees and Leslie.

Desmond went to the back closed the door and slapped himself on the head. He just totally embarrassed himself in front of his crush.

" What is wrong with you, you just totally embarrassed yourself in front of that beautiful lady, " the middle aged lady aunt Emily stated shaking her head at him

The other employees in the kitchen nodded giving him the " am sorry for you bro" look.

He sighed and went to make her other, he added extra cream, added extra blue berry muffin and then paid for it, he wrote a note and attached it to the bottom of the cup and gave the other to an employee before going out the back.

He did not want to disgrace himself more than he already did. He quietly drove to his office and arrived five minutes late.

" Hi good morning sir" he grumbled a good morning and passed not minding the bewildered employees.

He went to his office, threw himself on his chair and covered his face.

His door opened

" What's wrong" his best friend asked as he took a seat in front of him.

" I just saw Leslie Jones today" he started sighing again. He lightly hit his head again still feeling embarrassed.

" WHAT,!!" His best friend Lucas shouted in surprise, t

" Oh my God did you try talking to her was she pretty?" He bombarded him with question when hus friend refused to supply any other Intel.

" She is more prettier than I imagined" he sadly, he wouldn't be able to face her ever again.

" Wow, then why is your face like that, it's good news isn't it?" Lucas asked.

" I totally embarrassed myself in front of her,I said the things and Totally looked like a clown" he confessed before resting his head on his table.

They stayed quiet for a while, Lucas not knowing what to say and how to console his friend played with his pen.

A notification sound rang from Desmond phone, he raised his head and checked his phone.

A notification on Instagram

He opened his Instagram suddenly curious and saw that his message was replied.

He jumped up in Glee startling his friend.

" Oh my God she replied back" he said showing his friend the message

" Hi"

They fist bumped and smiled before Desmond proceeded to send another message.

Chapter 3

Leslie sat in her office staring at her phone, she never knew he followed her on Instagram. She tapped his profile picture and saw that it was a photo of the man she met earlier in an apron and no shirt on.

He looked hot like that, she suddenly started having female fantasies of both of them, realizing herself she slapped her face and shook her head, she was a mum now not a teenager.

She replied to his message, she looked at it for a second before stretching her phone to set it aside only for it to ding.

Notification

He replied within less than seconds of her sending it. She smiled at that.

He sent a "How are you" message with a smiley face, she giggled like a school girl before sending a "Am good, you?"

She was about to set the phone away before it dinged again.

" Am also very good, did you enjoy your coffee?" He asked, she relaxed in her chair and replied, she decided to tease him a bit.

" Umm, no really the coffee was too bland and hot" she complained, the person on the other side widened his eyes.

He knew he should have paid more attention to when Aunt Emily made her coffee, now he has gone and done nonsense.

He quickly typed a message

" Am very sorry, you can swing by and let me make you another on the house" he tapped his finger on the desk waiting patiently for her reply.

Leslie on the other side smiled at his cuteness.

" Am just kidding, the coffee was very nice thank you for the wonderful coffee, it made my day"

Desmond read the message and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait was she still coming by?

He typed again

"Since you liked the coffee maybe I could still make you some, on the house " he added the last statement on second thoughts.

He waited again before he received an 'ok' emoji.

He smiled and send another message.

" See you tomorrow then, have a nice day" he waited for her to reply and got a " you too" and a " thank you" before finally putting down his phone with a satisfied smile.

Leslie on the other hand put down her phone and went to work.

A few hours later, it was time to pick up Alex from his school. She packed up her bags before leaving the office.

She got to the garage and located her car. She got in and left the premises, she drove to Alex's school drumming her beautiful and we'll manicured fingers on her staring wheel.

She got to his school and parked her car where her parents parked theirs. She got down and ignored the stares making her way to the school.

She looked good in her custom-made skirt suit that was above her knees showing a little of her thighs.

She was a mum doesn't mean she didn't need to dress sexy even to work.

Alex's teacher Miss Nancy saw her first before calling on Alex who had a grumpy look on his face, he shot his teacher an irritated look, all this did not escape Leslie's hawk eyes which stayed on him since she stepped into the playground where the kids waited.

When he saw his mother his face brightened up, he stood up slowly and took his drawing book gently from a little girl by his side, said goodbye to his friends before making his way to his mother

" GoodbyeAlexx," his teacher said with a smile when he passed by her, he ignored her and went to his mother, he stood in front of her and smiled innocently, Leslie folded her hands across her chest and tapped her feet.

Alex sighed before turning back to his teacher who was watching him

" Bye" he murmured earning a bright smile from her, his face twisted in disgust before taking his mother's hand, and dragging her to her car.

"Alex that was not very nice" she started when they got to her car.

Alex turned his face away and shrugged his shoulders not caring.

Leslie sighed before starting the car.

Leslie drove straight home, she didn't have to go back to the office because she owned the firm.

She got into the house and parked her car, she turned to Alex wanting to say something only for him to jump out of the car not looking back at her

She watched him get into the house in silence before following. He did not stop he went straight to his room not wanting to talk to her.

Leslie sighed before doing the same, she came back down minutes later to prepare food.

Alex followed her to the kitchen, he helped her prepare the ingredients with a frown, he seems to be angry at his mother for a reason.

Leslie sighed again

" Alex" she called him. He stopped, pursed his small lips, and looked at her.

" Yes mummy" Leslie melted, he was just so cute. Leslie opened her arms and beckoned to him.

He walked to her and hugged her,

" Are you angry at mummy?" She asked, he shook his head in "no''

" Do you want to talk about it" he hesitated for a while.

" I don't want to talk about it," he said and tightens his hold on his mother.

She sighed again and kissed his head.

Sometimes it wasn't easy handling s growing child. She needed someone to talk to about it.

Her mind suddenly wandered to Desmond,

No, she just met him. But he would understand since he was a man.

Leslie made dinner thinking about who she would talk to. She did not have any close male friends only Desmond but she didn't even know him that well.

Leslie lay in bed thinking about what to do. She did not like her son keeping things from her he used to tell her everything before.

Leslie tossed and turned on the bed only sleeping in the wee hours in the morning.
