CHAPTER 12

"Oh! Don't be a shy hija." I heard my mom tell her.
"I told you not to kiss, not to hug, not to touch and not to come near her. She's off limits and she's mine. I told you that." I was stunned and turned to the speaker. The evil way he looks at Mike. He even pulled her mom away from him.
'Good for you Mike.' As I just thought. Mike burst out  laughing. 
"So possessive kid, there is a strain." The madman even looked at me.
"Shawn!?" She was obviously shy as she said to her son. And she just pulled him out.
"All right, we're leaving." She said goodbye to my companions. Then I followed them. She first went through her colleagues to say goodbye. I was standing there behind her.
"Good evening Sir." They greeted me and I just nodded to them. 
"Let's go." I told her. And walk outside. To my car.
I was leaning on my car when I saw them walking towards me. She carried him. I can't take my eyes off on her. What happened to me, I don't know. I open the door on the passenger's side for them to get in.
"Mama I'm sleepy, can I sleep in your arms?" I heard her son Shawn asked his mom with his husky voice. And he really looks so sleepy.
"Of course baby you can, mama will hug you." I saw her hug him and kiss him in the head. And she whispered to him, "I love you." And she put his head on her left chest. Then I heard her hum for him too.
It was as if my heart was being caressed by the scene I witnessed right now. What a perfect scene of a mother and son. I want to hug them too , I want to join them.
Later on, I saw him asleep. 
"Have we met before, or you're one of my fling?" I couldn't help but ask her.
"NO" She immediately answered. Obviously she was surprised by my question.
"Are you sure?" I'm not satisfied with her answer, I have this feeling. 
"YES, only Shawn's father became my man. No one before and no one after no one else. Only him. And we only met once." I was suddenly depressed by her answer.
Then I saw her closing her eyes like she wanted to sleep. Later on, she also fell asleep. I do not understand the feelings I felt right now while looking at them. Something strange.
I want to lock them in my arms. I can't help myself, I take out my phone and take pictures of them. I couldn't help but smile and caress the child's head.
Suddenly my chest throbbed when I touched him. I was just surprised when I felt like my cheek was wet. I was crying. I heaved a deep sigh and shook my head. And concentrate on driving.
A few more moments and we arrived at the address she said. She was still asleep, I also stared at her for a while. She is really beautiful and She looks so fragile.
"Hey, Miss Alcantara woke up! We're already here. Alcantara, hey! Wake up!" I can't resist looking at her. And I hate myself. I want to kiss and hug her. Before I forget myself I decided to wake her up already.
"Mmmm" She opened her eyes "I also fell asleep, sorry." She apologized to me shyly.
"Have we just arrived?" She asked me.
"It's Already twenty minutes past since we arrived." I smirked when I said it to her. 
"HUH?!" She looked at me in shock. And suddenly she adjusted her seat.
"T-That l-long? W-Why didn't you wake me up right away?" She was still stunned, her voice. But she looks so  cute.
I looked at her and something came to mind. "If how long have we arrived, I had been waking you up that long too." And I told her. "You thought you were still in your room. Tsk'' I saw her cheeks become red.
"Sorry again Sir, I didn't mean to fall asleep. I'm sorry. And, thank you again for bringing us here again sorry." She said to me, As she opened the door. And step out.
"Let me." I offered myself when I saw her having a hard time finding her key. The gate of the house was small and low.
I stiffened and I looked at her as I felt an electricity flow through my body as my arm touched her arm too. Did she feel the same? I saw her stiffened too.
"Thank you." She said softly when I opened the small gate for them and let them in. She attempted to take the key from me, but I walked straight to the door to open it wide.
When we got inside the house, she immediately entered the room. Their room maybe.
The place was so tiny, but it's neat and clean. There's two rooms, bedrooms I guess. The kitchen connected to the living room. And there's another door next to the kitchen. 
There are not many things in the living room and kitchen.
I was checking the whole area when she got out of that room. "You may sit down first Sir, amm would you like something to drink Sir, juice, water ---" as she offered me "coffee would be fine." I cut her off from what she said. "Black or with cramier, sir?" She asked me again.
"The last one." I said.
She immediately went to the kitchen. And when she comes back she's carrying two cups of coffee. And she placed one cup in front of me.
"Thank you." She just shyly smiled at what I said.
We both just kept quiet while having coffee. I can't help but glance at her. She just bowed her head. I still want to stay but it's already late at night and I already run out of my coffee.
So I got up and said goodbye, and thank her again. She come with me outside. A few minutes after she entered the house, I was still staring at the surroundings of the house.
A few more moments before I decided to leave. Along the way, I still can't forget the mother and son. Especially the child. He really looks like my mini me. The way he moves, the way he talks, and the way he looks. Like all of mine,' I need to find it out.'
When I got to my pad I immediately went to the mini bar and got some wine and an ice cube. I took them to the living room. After a few glasses of wine I decided to enter my room and I needed to take a cold shower.
I was lying on my bed, but I'm still awake. 'Who really are you, Shakeera? Why do I have this feeling that you become part of the past? If you're one of my fling, why can't I even remember you? But that's impossible to be forgotten if you were, with that face you have? Your looks, really impossible. Or maybe one of those girls who turned my one night stand? F**k s**t! WHO ARE YOU!? SHAKEERA! WHO REALLY ARE YOU? But if you're not one of them, are there so many that I can't remember you? How come? Or were you that girl six years ago? Ahh!'
I just pulled my hair out in annoyance. I turned side by side of my bed to get sleep but still I can't sleep.
It is almost morning before I fall asleep.
*****
"Mama, Papa!" He called us as he ran closer to where we took our seat.
We were at the park sitting on the lying blanket. It was so fun to watch Shawn playing with the other kids.
"Be Careful buddy you might stumble!" I told him. He immediately worshiped us with his mother's hug. "Hmm it feels good."
"I love you papa, I love you mama." He said to us and kissed our cheeks. When he reached us.
"I love you too son."
*****
"Huh!" And even in my sleep the mother and son I saw in my dream. My dream seems real.
