Chapter 0291

I was in the kitchen contemplating what to do about the Emma issue. Travis left a few

hours ago after he basically begged the entire time. It was now four, and I expected Noah

to come home anytime now. Rowan would be home at five or six, so I still had time to

think.

Emma and I never really saw eye–to–eye. Mostly because I was jealous she had the guy I

wanted. She used to mainly ignore me and behave like I didn’t exist. The only time she

was violent and hostile towards

me was after she found out Rowan and I slept together.

I don’t blame her, though. I would have reacted in the same manner. So I’ve never really

held a grudge for the way she treated me after she found out the truth. This new Emma,

though, is different. I honestly don’t understand if her heartbreak drove her to become this

way or if something else happened along the way. 2

Travis, on the other hand, has always been hostile. His snide remarks and his angry and

disgusted gazes,

not to mention how he would literally go out of his way to emotionally hurt me.

All these make me question whether I should help him or not. I mean, does he even have

any right to ask

this of me? And would it be cruel or selfish of me if I didn’t talk to Rowan on their behalf?

It’s not like I

owe them anything in any case.

A frustrated scream, followed by a loud bang, pulls me from my thoughts. I get down from

the bar stool,

leaving my half–eaten bowl of ice cream, and rush to the living room.

I’m surprised to find Noah, who looked as if he was about to murder someone.

and frustration.

“What is it, my love?” I ask gently while approaching him cautiously. “What’s got you so

angry?”

He looks up at me. I see the fire burning behind grey eyes that are similar to his dad. Noah

is chilled, and

nothing ever fazes the boy. So whatever made him angry must be pretty significant.

“It’s that girl again!” he yells and starts pacing.

“What girl?”

“Sierral

He shouts her name as if it were something vile and disgusting. Like he couldn’t even

stand the taste of it on his l*ps.

The girl who left you a note?”

He nods his head.

“Okay so what did she did this time?” I ask curiously.

Whoever this girl is, I have to hand it to her. She was able to ruffle my boy’s feather. That’s

accomplishment.

Pink taints his cheek as he mumbles some words.

“You’ve got to speak up, Noah. I didn’t get a word you said”

He inhales sharply before saying. “She said that one day she’s going to marry me and that

we’ll have lots

of babies.”

I swear I try to keep all seriousness and any amusement from reflecting on my face, but

it’s a damn losing

battle.

“Mom!” He stares daggers at me. “This isn’t funny.”

“I’m sorry, Noah.” I pull him to me, but he resists my embrace.

“I’m guessing you don’t like her?”

“Of course not. I find her really annoying; in fact, I hate her,” he pauses. “If I ever marry

someone, then it’ll be someone like you. Classy, elegant, and beautiful. Someone really

smart. Not a girl who finds mud and

bugs interesting.”

I just stare at him, noticing the stubborn glint in his eyes. Noah was going to be a force to

be reckoned with when he grows. I mean, damn, he’s only ten and already knows what he

wants in life and his wife.

“Did you talk to her like I told you?”

“Yes, but she wouldn’t listen.”

I honestly didn’t know how to handle the situation. Aside from annoying him, Sierra didn’t

seem like she

was causing any harm.

“First of all, you shouldn’t hate on anyb*dy…“.

But she…”

No, buts, Noah” I scold him. “I’ve already told you this multiple times. Hating someone

takes a lot of

energy which would have been used in doing something productive.”

Reluctantly, he nods his head.

“Second of all, she probably just has a crush on you. It’s normal for both boys and girls to

have crushes on each other; it shouldn’t worry you because crushes fade after some time,

especially as you grow older, so don’t let it get to you. If it becomes too much, just talk to

your teacher about it, okay?”

Well, I hope that I am right and that it’s just a stupid crush. If it’s something else,

something like what I felt for Rowan at that age, then the girl will be in serious trouble. I

know firsthand what unrequited love feels

like. It hurts like a motherF***ing bitch.

“Qkay, Mom,” he says after a while. This time, more calmly.

I hug him. “Okay, now go change out of your uniform.”

“Thank you, Mom,” he says, k*ssing my cheek. “You always make me feel better.”

With that, he takes his bag and runs upstairs, just as the door opens and Rowan walks in.

“What are you doing, kneeling on the floor?” He looks puzzled as he stares at me.

“You’re home early.”

“Yeah…I decided to come finish the rest of my work at home,” he replies. “You still haven’t

answered my

question.”

“Oh, I was having a talk with Noah. Looks like there is a girl who has a crush on him and

won’t leave him alone, though according to him, he doesn’t like her much.”

I expected a lot of things from Rowan. What I didn’t expect was him pulling me up from

the ground and

k*ssing the daylight out of me.

When he finally pulls away, he is grinning while I’m doing all I can to recover from the

scorching k*ss.

“It reminds me of us. How you were always up in my space and following me around. I

used to hate it back then, and it drove me F***ing insane, but now I can’t get enough of

you… Maybe our son has met his

soulmate.”

I just smiled, not saying a word. He gives me a peck before telling me that he’ll be in his

office. He leaves,

and I’m left standing in the middle of the living room, my heart in a tight fist.

Rowan is right. This is how we began.

My only prayer is that, for Sierra’s sake, what she feels is nothing more than a crush,

because I couldn’t

bear it if history repeated itself with our son and a girl was hurt in the process like I was.
