The missing father of my child

Bleu's POV:

I sat on a long sofa while Daddy sat on the opposite sofa nf I was sitting on.

"Dad, you can't do this to me. I just got back.", I said in disbelief.

I just arrived from Bukidnon a few hours ago and then I had to put my two children to sleep just because Daddy was going to talk to me.

Imagine going back after being gone for 5 years and then you get a strange welcome back?

"You promised me that you won't complain as long as I follow your request 3 years ago.", he answered me.

I can't believe he told the truth and still remembered.

"I know, Dad. But I just arrived, that fast?"

He took a deep breath.

"I've talked about it with my partner even when you were still in Bukidnon. Just marry his son so you can help raise my grandchildren."

I was stunned by my senses. This is what he told me right after I got home, jusko.

It's not the first time that I've been set up to marry his friend's son, first I was set up with the eldest but then he got married, so now I'm set up with the youngest.

Me and my father made up after the huge fight that happened between us when I got pregnant. Why did we agree? His hard heart melted when I gave birth to Tobi, my youngest child.

I made a promise to him that I will do everything he wants just to grant me a wish, and that's the reason why he is teasing me now that he will meet next week his friend's son who is said to have just returned to the US we can get to know each other before proceeding with our engagement.

He told me that it would be good for our company and that I would have a partner in life. I don't know which telenovela I joined but I agreed because I was desperate at that time.

'What I asked him, 3 years ago... Is my eldest child.

It's to legally adopt Laine.

I promised to come back to get him and yes, I kept it. Kevin's parents are also old, his siblings can't watch Laine either because they can't agree with the child so I had to do something. I asked Dad to allow Laine to be my adopted daughter, he really didn't want to at first until he thought of the exchange for agreeing to my request.

We still visit Kevin's parents from time to time, I also visit Kevin with Laine and Tobi.

"Okay, okay. Just tell me where to meet him next week."

My plan is to make his partner's daughter a concubine, you know he doesn't want marriage either, right? If we both don't agree then it won't happen? I'm too old for this, I should have my own decisions, I'm only doing because I made a promise.

Let's change the subject because it's stressful to think about.

Me and my kids have our own place, everything is arranged before we get home. We just went straight to Dad's house because there are many things that need to be fixed in our house.

After Daddy and I finished talking, I went back upstairs to see my children. When I opened the room, I found Laine awake.

"What's wrong, darling? Why did you wake up?"

Laine can understand and can speak Tagalog by the way, she learned so fast.

I approached him and sat on the edge of the bed, he laid his head on my lap.

"Tobi is the one who sleeps mischievously, he hit my nose."

I laughed a little bit but I didn't show it because Laine is a curmudgeon, she would get annoyed right away hahaha.

"Sleep again, I know you're tired.", I said while parting his hair.

"Mom, why aren't you sleeping?"

I smiled.

"I will when you sleep back first."

He snorted.

"Okay.", he said softly with a yawn, he closed his eyes.

I looked at Tobi who was sound asleep.

He looks exactly like his father.

Right, I know who his father is.

Every day that he grows up I realize their resemblance.

Tobi was 2 years old when I realized that he was Zane's son. I've been fooled by that witch.

At that time, would I have been able to fight for Tobi's rights as Zane's son if my problems hadn't happened at the same time?

My children are still young but I made them aware of the truth right away because I don't want them to grow up with lies. I told Tobi that we broke up with his Father so it's not here, and Laine already knows what happened to Kevin.

They're both smart and mature for their very young age.

Tobi never once asked who and where his father was after I explained to him that Zane and I didn't work out.

Now I'm back here in Makati, I'm afraid of what will happen when Tobi and Zane meet, the world is small so I know that time will come.

To this day, I'm still thinking twice about telling Zane about Tobi because he already has a family and I'm getting married to a man I haven't met yet. What kind of messed up world am I living in?

When I noticed that Laine was sleeping soundly, I slowly lowered her head on the pillow so that I could stand up.

It was already afternoon when we got home and if I'm not mistaken it's already dark outside now, I have to prepare something to eat for these two because I know they'll be hungry when they wake up.

When I went to the kitchen, I found Manang Cynthia with two helpers that I didn't know, they were preparing dinner.

I approached Manang and hugged him from behind so he turned to me in surprise.

"How are you Manang?", I asked him with a smile.

He turned to me and hugged me.

"I thought you would ignore me.", he said in the middle of our hug.

"Why? Daddy talked to me immediately after I arrived, so I didn't approach you right away."

We let go of each other, he held me by both my arms and looked at me from head to toe.

"You've changed so much, you've gotten even better."

"Inherited hahaha"

Everyone will notice that hahaha

Manang told me that he would take care of dinner so I should rest first since I was really tired so I agreed.

I was about to go back to the room when my cell phone, which I had been holding, rang.

It's a good thing I brought it with me, I didn't keep it quiet, maybe Tobi and Laine woke up when I left it upstairs.

I answered the call with a frown when I saw Dave's name.

This guy, I texted him to come to my house because I got home earlier but there was no reply and then he will call now.

"Oh?", I answered the call.

I immediately put my cellphone away from my ear when I heard the loud ringing of the sound system coming from the other line.

Is he in the club again?

At the very beginning, I actually planned to marry the eldest son of his friend once I turned 21, they started planning it out when I was about to graduate, that's one of the reasons why he was so angry with me when he knew I was pregnant. Apparently, the eldest got married so I thought it wouldn't go on and then there is the youngest, that's an animal.

Let's change the subject because it's stressful to think about.

Is he in the club again?

"Hey! Where are you?"

[I'm on Zip8Open hahaha I just read your message.]

It was obvious from his voice that he was already drunk, so what? With Zip80pen? (read as zip-it-open-).

In that club...

"You broke up with your girlfriend again and you're there?"

Dave has a girlfriend, they have been together for 2 years. 2 years later separated situation, it's dizzying.

[I'm going to punish you, t-wait... Oh, lady hahaha I tripped hahaha]

Didn't even answer my question.

[I'll drive as fast as I can to get there quickly so don't worry... Where did I park my car? Wait...]

My eyes widened when he said,

"Hey! You're crazy! Don't move! Just stay put there, hey!"

[Go away! Why are you blocking the way? By the way!]

"Dave, don't make a mess!"

Before I could hear what would happen next on the other line, the call was cut off.

That's a stupid man.

It's not the first time that he got into a fight with someone in the club because of his drunkenness, it's a shame.

What should I do?

It's really a big perversion, jusko!

I ran upstairs to my room where Tobi and Laine were sleeping but I was slow and careful when I entered the room because my two children were fast asleep.

I took my car keys from the top of the side table of my bed and slowly left the room and then ran.

I went straight to the kitchen to tell Manang to text me immediately if my children woke up because I was going somewhere for a while.

After I got to the car and I drove my car straight away, while I was driving carefully, I called Dave's phone number but he didn't answer.

Last time when they had a fight, Dave went to Bukidnon and got drunk there, he got into a fight because of his drunkenness and then when I called his girlfriend he didn't answer.

I really don't like his girlfriend, but what can I do? He wants it.

Dave has not lost my side all these years, even though he is far away from Bukidnon, he always visits me there. He was also there when I gave birth to Tobi, that's why he was so jealous of me.

They fight a lot and I'm one of them, the only thing I don't know is what they fight every time Dave gets drunk.

I parked in front of the club.

I didn't go out right away, I looked outside from here in my car. There are a lot of people, nothing much has changed... Why am I nervous going inside? I didn't feel it when I was going here?

Before going out, I dialed Dave's girlfriend's number again but she still didn't answer, I dialed Dave's number and there was no response.

'When this man does something stupid again and I clean up his madness, he will really hate me.

When I came out, I suddenly looked at what I was wearing and then at what the people who entered the club were wearing, in my haste I didn't notice what I was wearing now, it's the same thing I was wearing when I got back here in the itch, it's just that.

I'm wearing a nude thin sleeveless top covered with a long brown coat, black skinny jeans and boots.

They will look at me because no doubt they will think I went to the wrong place.

They will look at me because no doubt they will think I went to the wrong place.

I didn't think about what other people would think, I was about to enter the club and on my way inside I bumped into something, I almost dropped my cellphone because I was calling Dave while on the way.

"What the.", I reacted angrily as I looked at the person who bumped into me, but he was just walking away as if he didn't bump into me.

It's like he's walking away and then it's like he's wiping his lips.

If you really look at it, there are many people who have a rude attitude, they have already collided and then an apology cannot be given.

I turned my attention back to the entrance of the club and put my cellphone back to my ear while listening to its ring on the other line.

Does that guy do it?

[hello]

A cold deep tone of voice answered the phone and I knew it wasn't Dave because he was already drunk when he called me earlier, and his voice isn't this deep.

It's a familiar voice.

"Hello? Who is it?", I asked and entered the club.

I walked around looking for Dave and I guessed right that he would stare at me, am I wearing that weird?

[Are you the girlfriend of the owner of this cellphone?]

Question when answering the call. I was curious as to why he asked that, so I answered yes.

[Can you get him? He kinda fought with my brother, it's not that serious since I just arrived in time.]

I scratched the back of my neck while looking around, trying to catch Dave.

I continued walking.

"I'm actually at the club right now to get him, where are you guys?"

I spoke a little loudly because we didn't understand each other because of the loudness of the sounds.

I didn't get an answer from him so I wondered, didn't he hear me?

"Hello? Where are you? I'm actually at the club right now to get him."

[Y-yeah, we're in a table close to the bar counter.]

Counter? Where is the counter?

The outside of the club is still the same, but when I entered earlier, a lot had changed, so I don't know where the bar counter is now.

"What are you wearing?", I asked.

[I'm like... Just wearing a white sweater right now...]

While he was saying that, I saw a man standing with his back talking on a cellphone, he's wearing a turtle neck white sweater.

"And a black pants?", I asked uncertainly while describing the color of the pants of the man I see wearing a sweater.

[Yeah, that's right. How did you know?]

Maybe it thought I was a fortune teller hahahah.

"I think I found you, I'm behind you."

A sweater? Inside the club? We both seem out of place hahah

I glared at him so he bowed down for a moment.

"Come on, fix your walk but I'm going to cut off your legs.", I said softly so that only he could hear, I looked back at Zane and he was looking at us.

Our eyes were staring but my gaze fell on his hand...

He's wearing his wedding ring.

"We're first, thank you.", I informed.

Before Dave and I left there, I looked into his eyes for the last time...

Those eyes... The look of his eyes... It looks just as the same as the day we have last seen each other, in front of that restaurant.

His eyes seem to say a lot.

I carefully supported Dave in my car and while I was putting him in the backseat, I looked at a car parked not far from my car, there was a man leaning there... I couldn't see his face but he was familiar I'm the one he's wearing... It's that guy who bumped into me without even apologizing.

I saw that he looked at my behavior so I nodded and got into my car.

I looked at Dave from behind and he knocked out again, where am I going to take him home?

I started my car and carefully drove out of the parking area, when I passed right in front of the club, Zane was right out of the club... Our eyes met.

I held my chest while holding the steering wheel with one hand, the strength of my heart beating...

It's the first time after years, I thought my heart would never beat like this again but I'm wrong... It started beating again just like before and just like before... It only beats for the same person.

Someone's POV:

I slowly entered my room but I immediately came to my senses when I saw Mama sitting on my bed, looking at me intently.

We fixed me up.

"Yes, Ma?", I asked.

"You're drunk again?"

I washed my face. I wanted to lie but his eyes were so sharp on me that I knew I had no way out.

"Just a little.", I said in a low voice.

He stood up and approached me.

"What's wrong with you? How old have you been and you're still playing around?! You're getting engaged next week! Can you wake up?"

I rolled my eyes out of annoyance and passed me, I was the one who sat on the bed.

"That's why I'm having fun while I still have my freedom. I'm getting engaged to a girl I don't know or haven't seen yet, what would that make me feel?"

After that, I'm informed that you have two children. Like what the h*ll is that? I don't even know how many years I will get married.

"Why are you acting out? We talked about this for a long time, you had the chance to decline but you agreed, right? You can't act like that when we can't cancel anymore!"

Yeah, right. Why did I agree? It's all because of you, Mom! I do everything for you even if I can't feel the mother's love that I desire and demand from you. I can do everything for you but you are only useful to me when it benefits you!

"Just let me have all the fun that I want, I'll stop after the engagement."

"You need to stop now! Maybe his family will hear something and ruin your engagement, you know that this engagement benefits our company a lot, right?"

Maybe hear something? What now? What about the things I heard about that girl? She literally has kids, who the fck even knows what she looks like?

I can date all the girls I want and then suddenly I have to settle for a single girl whose looks I don't know? Hell no!

"Yeah, whatever Mom. I can handle it myself, okay? I need to rest."

I didn't wait for him to answer, got up and went to the bathroom.

Look what mess I'm in, that dude was supposed to marry her. Sht goes down and now I'm marrying her instead tsk.

Look what mess I'm in, that dude was supposed to marry her. Sht goes down and now I'm marrying her instead tsk.

I was stunned. Tobi let go of my hug and looked at Laine.

"For me I only have one Dad. There's no Dad in the world that can be better than my Daddy Kevin."

"I-I want to have a Dad too..."

Third Person's POV:

"I-I want to have a Dad too... ", Tobi said softly playing with his fingers.

Surprised by the son's words, Bleu looked at Tobi.

"He doesn't have to be my real dad... I just want someone that I can call Dad..."

Dave looked at Bleu, and he saw the sadness in his friend's eyes so he immediately approached Laine.

Dave sat next to Laine and held her in his arms.

"Of course, your Daddy Kevin is the best out of all but let's give your soon-to-be father a chance, hmmm? He might not be as good as Kevin but give him a chance...", gently persuaded Dave to Laine.

Bleu stood up then picked up Tobi.

"Mom, I wan't a Dad...", she said crying when Bleu picked her up.

The older brother looked at Tobi. She and Tobi may not be blood related but Laine sees Tobi as his younger brother and she loves him as much as she does with her mom Bleu.

"Fine.", Laine said flatly while crossing her arms and looking away.

"But again... My dad Kevin is the best.", he added.

Dave and Bleu looked at each other, and Dave gave Bleu an assurance kind of smile.

Bleu sat next to Dave while Tobi was still being carried. It pulled Laine's hair.

"Thank you.", he said smiling to Laine.

Laine just looked at him for a moment then looked away again.

"I'll take care of it.", Dave whispered to Bleu, Bleu nodded.

"Baby, I'm leaving. Give mommy a kiss."

Bleu brought his cheek to Tobi's and he kissed his cheek, he lowered it and went straight to Dave.

"Laine? Mommy is leaving, won't you give mommy a kiss?"

Laine quickly kissed Bleu's cheek before acting sulky, Bleu smiled.

"I'll bring you guys pizza when I go home okay?"

Bleu said goodbye to the children again, he intended to let Manang Cynthia watch over him first, but it was a good thing that Dave came to visit because he knows that the children are a bit naughty and stubborn, especially for people who are not yet very... close, Dave is good because he can handle his children.

Using Bleu's car, he drove the car to where he would meet his fiancee.

Bleu's POV:

I was barely sweating when I found the address of the restaurant where we were going to meet, it was like an underground restaurant. When I entered it was like casual dining, there weren't many people because it was hidden... I remembered something.

I went straight to their comfort room because I don't want to look like a chick exposed to the sun and then sweating profusely, right? For now, I have fixed it and then this is what I will end up with.

My sweat dried quickly because the whole restaurant was air-conditioned, I retouched and fixed my hair. I smelled good, it's not because I smell bad, right? Just to make sure because I was sweating.

When I left, I went straight to the reserved table for the two of us. I was probably the first to arrive because there was no one at our reserved table, right? VIP is crazy, I'll have to wait.

I was impatiently waiting when suddenly a man who I think was about my age just entered. It's like he knows the people who work here because they're greeting each other.

He looked around and then stopped at me, are you looking?

He came to me smiling and sat in front of me, you know that? It's surprising because he's straight, is he the one I'm waiting for?

He came to me smiling and sat in front of me, you know that? It's surprising because he's straight, is he the one I'm waiting for?

"Maria?", he called me like a guess.

No, I don't seem to be waiting for him. I was even mistaken for Maria.

"No, I think you got the wrong person.", I told him.

He put his elbow on the table and acted thinking, I watched him with a frown.

"No... You're familiar... What's your name again... "

What is familiar? I don't even know him, is this a new modus operandi?

"Right!", he hit the table hard, it didn't even matter that other people in the restaurant looked at us because of what he did.

he taught me,

"Elizabeth! Right? I'm right hahaha", he said proudly.

"I'm not Elizabeth."

His smile disappeared and he frowned.

"Isn't it? Jessica?"

I shook my head.

"Ah! Loraine! Lora-"

"I'm waiting for someone, can you leave now? I don't know you."

He scratched the upper part of his eyebrow then stood up,

"Am I wrong? I seem to have seen you somewhere...", he said to himself almost whispering as he slowly left.

I shook my head. People's trips will increase now. Too bad, he's still handsome.

I took my cellphone from my purse, I looked for the number that Daddy gave me, which is my fiancee's number. Why is he taking so long? They should have at least given me a picture so I can recognize them right away.

While I was looking for the number, my eyes caught a pair of shoes in front of me so I looked up.

The guy earlier. Does he need anything else?

"Miss, now that I think of it... This is my table, I just went out for a while."

I'm still waiting, this table is already reserved. The same waiter even guided me here.

I ignored him and looked for the number again.

"Miss?"

When I saw the number, I dialed it immediately.

"Mis-"

"Look, stop messing around, okay? This i-"

I couldn't finish what I was going to say when I heard the sound of a cellphone and it was coming from the man's pocket.

I stood up while he took his phone from his pocket, we both looked at each other.

"It's you?", we asked each other at the same time.

He laughed and put the cellphone back in his pocket so I turned off the call and hung up my cellphone.

He looked at me from head to toe.

"You don't look like the one that I've been expecting to meet, not even the slightest."

I frowned.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

He shook his head then reached out his hand,

"Nothing. What's your name? I'm Zacharias Ford Silvius."

Zach's POV:

"What?", he asked me flatly while taking a bite of food.

I wasn't really expecting this one.

He has two children?

He has two children?

Other than i'm mesmerized that she turned out to be really pretty, she looks so familiar...

When I approached her earlier, it's all because I thought she was one of my ex-girlfriends, I didn't think she was the one I was waiting for.

"Do I look familiar to you?", I asked him.

He gasped in the air.

"I told you already, no."

Why is it ugly?

I am not familiar with him but he is very familiar with me. I'm really bad at this, especially since I've met tons of girls so it's hard to remember them all.

I gave up the thought that I knew him before because as he said he didn't know me. Maybe he just looks like someone.

We have more important things to talk about.

I was about to open my mouth when he suddenly spoke,

"You need to gain my kids' trust."

"Huh?"

He looked at me seriously.

"You have to get the insides of my two children."

Langya, I woke up just to find myself getting married with this woman and then an instant father to her two children who had nothing to do with my sperms.

It's nice to wash with hot water, maybe I'll wake up from this nightmare.

She's really pretty but men again why would I tie the knot with the same woman when there are so many other women around?

"You wanna hear something?", me

"What?"

"I think we won't work. I'll be good to your kids, let's get married and get a divorce after a year. What can you say?"

She looked at me sharply, she was thinking deeply.

"We can just tell our parents that we tried but it just didn't work.", I convinced.

He was still thinking hard.

"I mean, we don't even love each other and I don't believe what we see on TV that we will love each other eventually because I'm sure we won't...", I laugh as I say this

"... I'm not a one woman guy.", I continued.

At least I'm being honest with her.

Seriously, Zacharias Ford Silvius? Fold to the same woman? That's not possible, the crow needs to whiten before that happens and if that happens I will definitely change my name to Zacharias Ford Walang Silvi.

"After a year?", she asked to confirm and I nodded.

You agree, it should only be 1 month because how can I handle one year? But at the very least I have to endure, I'm doing this for Mok after all.

She heaved a sigh.

"Okay, but there's the thing...", she paused.

I looked straight at her eyes...

He smirked.

"Love, baby, sweetheart, darling... Daddy?"

I gasped for air.

"I mean your name is leech.", I said firmly.

His smile disappeared.

"It's a shame, I haven't even been attached to you yet, you called me a leech."

It's annoying. All the endearments he mentioned are only one person I remember.

"Seriously, what?"

"You really don't like Love? Daddy? What? One last chance.", he said jokingly so I glared at him, he just laughed at me.

"Just call me Zach."

Zach... Zach...

I'm more and more in love with him, why is Zach needed? I remember something again!

What's up today? I just want a peaceful day but everything just keeps reminding me of him!

I don't hate him ah? I just want to be able to move on totally!

"My name is short, Bleu."

"Bleu?"

"Yeah, why?"

He smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing, go ahead. Take care."

I was surprised because I thought he was about to enter the restaurant again but he was still leaning there where he was leaning.

"Go away.", I said

"You're the one who left, where did you park your car?"

It was as if he was in a hurry to get inside.

I pointed to my car parked just opposite the restaurant.

"A Bentley? Rich hahaha."

I just looked at him.

"Alright, be careful.", he just repeated what he said earlier and then turned his back on me to enter the restaurant again.

I followed him as he left.

I feel a mixture of concern. Am I doing it right? What if my children get attached to him? Just to find us getting divorced after one year....

I closed my eyes for a moment because of the stress and then went to my car to go home.

-----

Zane's POV:

It's been five years... Five years of longing. When I let go of him, I thought I would be okay because we were together for a while, but then those 4 months were the happiest days of my life.

Every day that passed I thought it was a step to gradually forget her but no, I still think of her. I wonder what she's doing, if she finally met the man who could be deserving of her love. I want to know if he is happy now because that's the only way I can be reassured.

In the entire five years of her sudden disappearance, I didn't hear a single word about her, she just disappeared like she never existed, just like a midsummer dream.

She stayed on my dreams so when I saw her again at the club I thought it was a dream again, but it was real, she's real.

All I could think at that time is that, is it true that the girl I've been wanting to see for a long time is right in front of me? She looked beautiful as ever, is it because she has a new love? I'm happy for her, I'm happy that she has found someone who will cherish her that I failed to do so.

"Daddy!"

I turned around on my back, a wide smile on my lips when I saw Shane running towards me, my daughter.

"Honey, be careful! You might trip!", Claire said worriedly following Shane.

I met Shane then picked him up.

"What did I tell you about running? Hmmm?"

"I forgot, the floor is not slippery, so it's okay."

I looked at Claire.

"You should have carried her here, you know her tendency to run. She fell last time and got hurt.", I said to Claire.

"I did, when I put it down, it suddenly ran."

I shook my head.

"Dad, haven't you finished cooking yet? I'm hungry."

My eyes widened, oh right! What I cook.

Here she is again, she doesn't want to lift Shane because he says he will get tangled in his clothes, her reasons is that the boy is big so there is no need to carry him all the time.

"Mom, cook for me too like Dad does."

"Yeah, sure baby. Next time."

I looked at what I was cooking. I learned cooking, I don't know why I did.

Zach's POV:

"Hi, Shane~", I was about to pick up Shane, Zane's son when Claire grabbed him from me.

"My son just finished eating."

If I stay away from Shane, I feel like I have a virus.

I looked at him for a moment before I smiled widely when I faced Shane who was lifting him up.

"Do you miss your handsome Uncle?"

Shane nodded repeatedly so I wanted to squeeze his soft, fat cheeks when Claire pulled back.

"You will be really missed, because you used to go to every woman's house."

I'm sorry, this girl hates me so much.

"Did you conceive out of a grudge? Trip strength... My brother, where?", I asked.

He made me suffer.

"He just left for work.", he replied flatly to me, I didn't catch it.

Just for your information right? Zane's family lives here, they don't have their own house. They're living with us because since Claire canceled her engagement with Zane, my Mom and Zane's Dad lost trust in her, so they didn't agree to bond.

Zane agreed even though Claire disagreed because Shane would be better watched at home since he and Claire both had jobs.

Me, I'm not always at home not because I'm at different women's houses, okay? Don't believe that Claire, the blade of the tongue says anything. I have my own condo, I'm there most of the time.

I'm looking for Zane because I'm going to vent my anger, as time goes by I'm getting more and more stressed by the fact that I'm about to be tied up instead of him being the one who should be in my place. Many girls have chosen me and then suddenly I have to stick to one?

"I advise you to stop playing around especially since you're getting engaged soon, poor fiancee."

That's what Mom said too.

"It's time for you to wake up."

I looked at him.

"If there's anyone here who's not sane, it's you.", I answered him, and before he could hit me with his high heels, I left after pinching Shane's cheek weakly, who didn't understand anything we were talking about. .

That's a waste, there's a lot to do and then I have to go home when what's the name of my fiancee again? Blue?

Well, I still have to go to his house to introduce him to his children. How can I tell those hoping to be my boyfriend that I'm an instant father? That's lettuce.

Bleu's POV:

I'm in the living room now, I've actually just finished packing because tomorrow we'll be moving into our house.

We should be leaving now, but someone messaged my tukmol saying that he is going to visit us today to introduce my children, so we postponed the move of my children tomorrow.

My children were playing with Dave and then he suddenly disappeared, Laine said she received a call so she went out for a while. I feel like that's funny, why doesn't he give time to his girlfriend, just Dave.

Zach's message was a while ago that he was on his way, I don't know where he is, maybe he got lost. My kids didn't know that I was going to introduce Zach today so they just played peacefully, especially Laine.

I frowned and looked at Dave when he was scratching his head as he entered the house.

"Go to mommy first, I'm almost done.", I handed Shane to Claire and Claire took it then put it down.

"You're old enough, you can't always be lifted. You're heavy.".

Here she is again, she doesn't want to lift Shane because he says he will get tangled in his clothes, her reasons is that the boy is big so there is no need to carry him all the time.

I frowned and looked at Dave when he was scratching his head as he entered the house.

"Oh?"

He looked for a moment at Laine and Tobi who were busy playing and then at me.

"I have to go, I have to go see what... Gianna."

Gianna, his girlfriend's name.

Maybe the two fought again.

"Why are you here instead of your girlfriend being with you."

"Yes, I'm going to go."

"If you fight and then you get drunk again, call me? I'll break the glass you drank on your head."

It was as if he was afraid of what I said.

"Why do you become more brutal as time goes on? I'm not going to drink anymore."

I will not drink, I will be fooled.

He approached Tobi and Laine, he said goodbye while tickling my two children. I don't know about him, I said he should be married because he loves children.

They were his girlfriend for 2 years, but I only saw him about five times? I'm facing his jowa, he seems to be angry with me.

He said goodbye to me after he said goodbye to my children, I stood up and told a maid to watch over Tobi and Laine first because I was going to take Dave outside.

"You're moving tomorrow, aren't you? I'll come to your house to help you fix it.", he said while opening the door of his car.

"Everything is okay, don't worry. You and your girlfriend will get along, especially since you are always fighting."

He scratched the back of his neck.

"Call me if you need some help"

I nodded.

"Be careful.", I said and he got into his car.

I was the one who opened the gate, it was a bit heavy because the gate of our house is big but it was enough.

I followed Dave's car leaving, I hadn't moved from where I was standing when I noticed an expensive car had just arrived and stopped in front of our gate.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at it, suddenly its window opened and a head suddenly peeked out,

"Zach?"

He looked at me with a wide smile.

Why did this tukmol take so long?

"Put your car in.", I said loudly, he gave me an okay sign and put his car inside.

I closed the gate when he entered completely, when I faced him I was surprised that he was behind me and handed me a bouquet of lilacs.

"W-what's that for?", I wondered.

Not only was she carrying a bouquet of lilacs, she was also holding a paper bag in her other hand that I didn't know what it contained.

"Sorry I took so long, I bought some foods for your kids, I passed a flower shop so I bought them for you."

I hesitated when I took the bouquet of flowers, was it lilac? Most of the time roses are those given by others.

I hesitated when I took the bouquet of flowers, was it lilac? Most of the time roses are those given by others.

"You don't have to but... Thank you."

I've never once received flowers before, this is the first time and it's not roses but lilacs.

He walked first then I followed.... Something seems wrong... Is this his house? Still walking ahead of me?

I just noticed that he is wearing it, very formal hahahaha

I walked ahead of him and when I passed him I gave him a look and then you know that? He's all smiles.

When we entered the house, my two children immediately looked at us, and stopped playing.

"Kids, sit down properly. I'm going to introduce someone."

Tobi sat down on the sofa excitedly while Laine looked at Zach but she also sat down on the sofa.

I brought Zach in front of them and Zach dropped what he was carrying on top of the mini table opposite the sofa.

"Who is he?", asked Laine with a sharp look at Zach.

Third Person's POV:

Bleu was nervous, Tobi looked innocently at the two of them and Zach while Laine looked at Zach with a bad look.

"I want to introduce to you guys, Zach. I'm marrying him.", Bleu said to his children with an awkward smile on his lips.

"So is he gonna be my Dad?"

Bleu looked at Zach because of his son's question, he thought that he and Zach should have practiced what to say or answer to his children.

"Yes baby.", Bleu answered the son.

"Can I call you Dad now?"

Bleu looked at Zach again, the young man smiled and nodded.

"Of course.", the young man answered with a smile.

Tobi's face lit up and his eyes sparkled.

He's just a child who wants a father figure that he can call Dad.

"What's your job?", Laine suddenly asked.

Zach was surprised by the boy's very straightforward question.

"I own restaurants, I sing... Stuffs like that."

Laine's ears perked up.

"You sing? Can you play the guitar?"

Zach gave Bleu a side eye, "you didn't even inform me that your son is as naughty as you are," Zach thought.

"Yeah, I do. I sing in clubs sometimes and yeah, I can play the guitar..."

"What other instruments?"

Zach swallowed, he felt like he was guilty and was caught by the police and that the police is asking him questions right now.

"Drums, recorder, electric guitar and I'm currently learning the piano."

Laine nodded.

"Am I in a job interview?", inside Zach's brain.

Laine looked at the paper bag lying on the mini table and Zach caught it.

"I don't know what you guys like so I kinda bought what I thought you'd like."

Zach took out the contents of the paper bag, it's basically just fries, burgers and smoothies.

"Can they have a burger and fries?", Zach asked Bleu who was just watching them.

"Yeah, you can.", Bleu answered him.

Bleu is quiet but she's actually observing Zach right now.

"That's great... Here...", Zach looked back at Tobi and Laine then gave them the food he bought.

Zach's POV:

"What's your name?", I asked the boy.

"Tobi!", answered me enthusiastically.

Toby? I remembered Zane, he should be here if Claire hadn't gotten pregnant! I'm probably in a club right now singing.

"How old are you Tobi?"

Tobi raised his hand and showed me five. I didn't disturb him after that because he was already eating the burger.

I looked at the girl, she looked like she was going to bite me, she looked at me badly and then she didn't move the burger I gave her.

Why did you agree? Isn't he burdened by Tobi?

"Baby, Tito Zach's clothes are dirty, you're down. Tito Zach needs to leave.", I scolded Tobi because I was the one who felt sorry for Zach.

Tobi listened to me and slowly got down behind Zach, Zach sat on the floor laughing.

"You're leaving?", my son asked Zach sadly.

He quickly became attached to Zach, it was scary when our one year deal ended.

Zach ruffled Tobi's hair.

"I'll visit often.", answered Tobi.

I stood up to pick up Tobi so Zach stood up as well while shaking his clothes.

"I can leave later though...", he said softly to me.

"They'll look like rags after that and they need an afternoon nap."

"Ahhh okay."

I led him outside while carrying Tobi and Laine followed who didn't speak again.

"I'm the first one, I'm a guest again?", he said softly to Tobi as I lifted him up.

"I'll bring a lot of tropicana next time.", he said to Laine.

He looked at me.

"I'm first.", he said goodbye to me, I nodded in response.

He looked at Laine and Tobi again before he turned around to get into his car.

"Daddy..."

Zach stopped and looked at Tobi in shock.

"Daddy...", it repeated.

Zach turned as if surprised too.

"Take care Dad.", Tobi said to Zach with a sweet smile on his lips.

A smile gradually formed on Zach's lips.

"I will.", he answered with a smile and got into his car.

As Dave left earlier, I just followed his departure car.

"My Dad Kevin is still better..."

I looked at Laine when she spoke,

"... But he's... He's okay."

I smiled.

Zach's POV:

I didn't notice that time, I was so happy playing with Tobi.

I'm the same way when I play with Shane when his witch mom isn't watching, they make me a vehicle but it's okay because I'm happy when I hear their loud laughter.

I was stunned when Tobi called me Daddy, this is how Zane feels when Shane calls him Daddy.

I wasn't allowed to call my Father as Dad when I was a child... He didn't want me to call him Papa because he believed I wasn't his son, that I was Mama's son by another man.

I think I understand how those kids feel, to have someone that they can call Father... Because I grew up without someone to call father.

I've never once imagined being a father, but I felt different when I heard Tobi call me Dad.

I have to work hard to win Laine's heart, she actually needs the affection of a father. Now, I'm curious who is the father of those two children... Like my father, how can they leave their children?

Dave's POV:

"Let's break up."

I washed my face.

"What's the problem, Gia? I'm already here, right?"

"I'm tired Dave! Okay? I'm tired!"

I held his arm,

"What else do you want?!"

He extended his arm to me.

"You! You're the one I want."

I frowned, did I just come here so we could fight again?

"I'm yours, right?"

"Yes, you're mine, but it's your heart or not! What am I? Rebound? Why are we prolonging this relationship? There's only one thing I want you to do but you can't do it!"

"I love you, isn't that enough for you?"

"If you love me, why don't you go shopping! Me or your best friend?! This is what we always fight about, right? Because you can't answer! I'm putting an end to this bullshit! Stay here if you choose me, leave the room if your best friend."

Why do I have to shop? I make him feel that I love him, I was already staying away from Bleu for him but what he wants is for me to end our friendship with Bleu.

"Why do you keep repeating yourself? I love you! Bleu has been my friend for years now! I can't end our friendship just because you're jealous of him!"

I tried to hold his hand but he kept it away from me.

"I don't trust your friend, it seems like he will kill you at any time!"

"What are you talking about? Bleu is not like that."

He pushed me hard,

"What is he? He's just using his children to flirt with you! This is your last chance Dave. It's me or that Bleu. Go shopping!"

"Babe, no need to get to gan-"

"GO SHOPPING!"

I sat down and covered my whole face.

"Are you staying here with me or you'll gonna leave?", he asked me sternly.

"In the count of three, go shopping."

I rested deeply.

"One-"

I stood up.

"Always be careful.", I finally said before I left his condo.

I just came into a realization, I can't date a girl who doesn't want to accept that I have a female friend, on top of that Bleu isn't just a friend... She's like a family to me, if she doesn't understand that there is nothing I can do.

In the two years we were together, I was never clingy to Bleu, there was a time when I stayed away from Bleu for him, but his jealousy was still there, he always wanted me to end our friendship with Bleu, I endured that because I knew there was I feel the same way about him, but ending Bleu's friendship just because he's jealous? I can't accept that anymore, especially when he sympathizes with Laine and Tobi, that was my last straw and I'm not tolerating that sht.

I may have liked her, she is important to me but no, she isn't allowed to talk sht about Bleu, Tobi and Laine.
