CHAPTER 10

Sir James was leaning outside of his car. He looked so handsome and so sexy, like a professional model, a celebrity. He looks so gorgeous, and he's so serious. And his car, very beautiful, looks really expensive, awesome. He immediately opened the passenger seat and let us in. I still carried my child. The interior are very nice, and the scent. The smell of car freshener mixed to his manly scent.
He immediately turned to the driver's seat. And He told me to fasten the seatbelt. I also immediately gave our address. I just put my son in my lap and hugged him.
"Mama I'm sleepy, can I sleep in your arms?" He asked with his husky voice. Really sleepy.
"Of course baby you can, mama will hug you." I hug him and kiss him in the head. And I whispered to him "I love you" and I put his head on my left chest. Then I hummed for him.
He fell asleep immediately. I could feel a gaze and stared at Shawn and me. I was just looking out the window. The feeling was already there again.
"Have we met before? Or Are you one of my fling?" I just heard him ask.
"NO." Was my only answer to him. I did not even look at him. Although I was surprised by his questions.
"Are you sure?" He asked me again and looked at him, he was still looking at me with doubt in his eyes.
"YES, only Shawn's father became my man. No one before and no one after no one else. Only him. And we just met only recently." I answered him and I leaned my head in the headrest and closed my eyes. Just to avoid talking with him.
Cause I'm not really comfortable talking with him. I really feel nervous. But I did not realize and I also fell asleep.
I just woke up when I felt the weak pat and shake on my shoulder.
"Hey, Miss Alcantara, wake up! We're already here. Alcantara, hey! Wake up!" He said irritably.
"Mmmm" I was even surprised to hear his voice. I suddenly realized "I also fell asleep, sorry" I was ashamed to apologise to him.
"Have we just arrived?" I asked him. I felt a mixture of shame and fear.
"It's Already twenty minutes since we arrived." He smirked at me when he said it. "HUH?!" I looked at him in shock. And suddenly I was able to sit up.
"T-That l-long? W-Why didn't you wake me up right away?" I stuttered and told him. Really embarrassing. What will he think of us? We just got along.
He just looked at me intently. "How long have we arrived, I have been waking you up for that long too." He still seems irritated. "You thought you were still in your room, Tsk." I felt heat running on my cheek. I really feel ashamed.
"Sorry again Sir, I didn't mean to fall asleep. I'm sorry. And thank you for bringing us her, again Sorry." I apologized to him again and I quickly opened the door. To get out right away.
I adjusted my son and placed his head on my shoulder. And I got out of his car. I compose myself to walk smoothly towards my small and low gate. It is difficult to walk on high heels with a heavy load.
I also had a hard time getting the key from my bag, to open it and to enter. "Let me" I was surprised when someone suddenly spoke behind me. He took my bag and was looking for the key.
But I suddenly felt like I was electrocuted. When his arm touched my arm. Even though he was still wearing clothes. But the heat was like a fire. Scorching.
I also noticed he was suddenly taken aback. And stared at me. 'Did He feel that too? The spark.' We also spent a few seconds in that position. I was the first to regain sight.
But later on I just heard the rattle of the open gate. I would have taken the key from him but he went straight to the door and checked it as well. He even opened it wide so we could get in. "Thank you." I said softly to him.
He just nodded at me. I brought my son straight to our room and laid him on the bed. I took off his shoes and covered him with the blanket. 
Before I step out of our room I also switch on the ceiling fan. To make him comfortable and have a nice sleep.
When I got out of the room, I saw him still standing in the middle of our living room looking like he was checking around.
"You may sit down first Sir, amm would you like something to drink Sir, juice, water ---" "coffee would do for me." I offered him a drink but he did not let me finish. "Black or with cramier, sir?" I asked him again. "The last one." He said and sat down as well.
I immediately went to the kitchen and took two cups and coffee and cramier. I took it to the living room afterwards, and I laid two cups of coffee on the center table. And I pushed in front of him what was for him.
"Thank you." He said to me while sipping the coffee. I just smiled at him. And I drank mine too.
We both just kept quiet while having coffee. No one speaks, we just feel the same. But I also felt his gaze and stared at me. I can feel it even though I am not looking at him.
He got up immediately after he ran out of coffee and said goodbye. I thank him again. And I took him to the exit so I could lock our gate.
I immediately went inside the house and washed the cups we used for coffee.
I also cleaned my body before going to bed.
My son is sound asleep. I feel so exhausted by what happened earlier. That scene was really tiring and stressful. They really look like father and son. The way he stares at me, so does Shawn. The smell of him was very familiar to me. 'OH MY GOD!!! Can't he be like that??? That is not possible.'
I suddenly got up to what I remembered. That man Scent six years ago was so good, I feel I still smell it till now, when I smell the scent of Sir James! I grabbed my chest, as if it would explode with the excessive force of its rot. My heart beat was very fast.
I suddenly felt weak. I just hugged my sleeping son. And trying to get some sleep. It's already midnight, and I'm still awake. It will be two o'clock in the morning when I feel sleepy.
