Chapter 171: Opening up to him
Mia's POV
I raced up the curved stairway, my feet jumping over two steps before the other. When I got to Flynn's room, I almost stormed inside.
However, I was able to control myself and landed a knock on the door. Aaron was the one who responded to me.
His hands had toys groomed in them and he let out a broader smile.
"Hey cutie, can I see your dad?" I requested, tensed and scared. I wasn't settled.
He opened the door widely and I could see Flynn by the window making a call, his one hand stuffed inside his pocket.
When he shoved his gaze to look at me, my heart stopped.
I swallowed hard and clenched my fist. I should definitely stop, he belongs to someone now and the least I can do is betray my friend.
I grimanced and gestured to him if we could talk. He nodded and strolled towards the balcony in his room.
I hurriedly got in as Aaron had returned to the bed to play with his toys.
My feet moved me to where he was, leaning on the rail of the balcony, Aaron was a distance away but his eyes were on his son while his lips moved.
At the balcony, there was a round table with a flower vase placed on it and two chairs facing each other.
The call was intense and I had to take a seat to await him. Once he was done, he moved to sit down on the second.
"Yes Mia?" He began in a warm voice that melts my heart. My fingertips went cold and I couldn't breath properly again.
I'd believe it's because of the ghost I'm seeing lately. Even at the hospital, it was Caleb I saw but I doubt because I couldn't fathom for the scenarios playing in my head.
Only Flynn would have to confirm if I am still sane or not. If he went over to that cafe, he must have caught sight of Caleb too.
"W-well about the cafe down the street"
He suddenly scoffed leaning his back on the chair and then crossed his legs.
"Are you crazy over it? I can get it ordered for you everyday if you wish..."
"No!" I cut in and then closed my eyes swiftly while inhaling softly.
"Did you find anything unusual? Like you saw someone you think you shouldn't have seen?" I questioned with probbing eyes at him and he shrugged his shoulders, looking puzzled.
"Is there something unusual that I should notice?" He asked back and cold flushes down my spine.
How do I say this? He might think I'm insane. The way he was sounding and his expression proves he had no idea of what I was saying.
Probably, I was hallucinating and I should bring up Caleb when these two were experiencing happiness.
I placed my hands on the table, my eyes danced in my sockets as they moved to and fro.
Grief held me and I was lost in thoughts, I only jolt back when Flynn knocked the table with his knuckles.
I threw my weary eyes at him.
"No it's just that, I've been seeing things lately, maybe I need to see a therapist" I joked letting out a queer laughter.
He heaved softly and then held my hands cross the table, his eyes searches mine and my heart jolt into my throat.
"Is it something you want to share? I might not be perfect in consoling but I can help"
He looked so concerned and I was tempted to speak to him. He wouldn't tell amaris but what if it ruins his happiness?
"Are you sure you won't call me crazy?" I said in between my teeth while drawing my hands away from his grip.
I placed them on my thighs and then swallowed as this wasn't going in alignment of what I planned exactly.
I thought I had buried every emotions I had for him since he ended up with amaris but his touch was still something I couldn't get rid of.
"Promise" he whispers with a wink at me and I nodded, hesitating for a while. His eyes dragged me all over my face, waiting for my response.
"Well don't freak out it's about..."
"There you are!" Amaris called with a bright smile.
"Did I interrupt something important?" She furthers, drew closer to Flynn and kissed him mildly on the cheek.
He kissed her palm and her cheeks flushes red. They look so happy today and I just hope it's not what I think.
Earlier, that delivery guy was sent by the supposed Caleb, I had to beat him up to make him confess to me on who the sender was.
"Not really, I was about leaving" i responded with a dull look and she scoffed at me.
Hastily, I stood up, still trembling. It's a good thing she's here, that way I wouldn't have to tell Flynn, not now.
They have Aaron to worry about. Flynn and I locked eyes. He was just staring at me and I felt I was in a trap with that look.
"It is, I can see the tension between you two, I just came to inform you to check out the cake, I'm stepping out with Aaron"
"Really?" Flynn muttered shifting his gaze to her.
"Yeah, Davis and his wife are leaving today and we want to bide them bye" she reported in a flamboyant tone.
"I'd take Aaron over there, you need to rest, amaris..."
"Com'on Flynn, you also came back from a trip and if Mia is talking to you, it's definitely about revenge over someone" she said in a teasing tone and I scoffed.
"Gotcha" she added and then blew a kiss at Flynn. She was in a haste and I wish to come along with her too.
"Don't miss me too much and catch that idiot that's making her all stressed out" she concluded, rubbed my back gently and walked away.
I lowered my eyes on the table, breathing hard and then returned my gaze at Flynn. He had suddenly stood up and paced towards me.
He pushed the table aside and created a path where he could squeeze himself between me and the table.
I lost my breath staring into his intense gaze.
"So what's this about?" He furthers in a deep accusatory tone.
"Well it's..."
"Sex" he suddenly mutters and I furrowed my gaze at him. I didn't know what to think because he just jumped into conclusions.
Does he think of me as a whore? That's my past life.
"What!" I exclaimed growing annoyed by his conclusion but I brushed aside that and just pressed on.
"It's about..."
"I'd give you just that Mia..." He lean his face forward, his finger run through my cheeks as a devious smile escaped his lips.
"I want to fuck you Mia"
