Chapter 33

Danielle Lexington
I let Alan come everyday to see Oscar. We spent a lot of time together and I can see that Oscar really loves his dad. Alan really adores Oscar too and they're unseparatable.
Oscar spent time with Alan when I'm busy taking care of my dad. My dad got home after being in the hospital for 6 days. He recovered just fine and he's back home now. I'm planning to go back to Santorini in 2 days.
"Oscar! Granddad is here.." My dad announced himself to Oscar. Oscar ran from the garden to the living room with Alan behind him.
"Mr. Morgan." Alan greeted my dad and my dad gave a light nod at him. My dad hugged Oscar and Oscar giggled.
"I want cheesecake." Oscar said as he poked my dad's cheek.
"Oscar, granddad just got ou-"
"Let's go!" My dad cut me and I sighed.
"Dad.." I warned.
"Stay for dinner, Alan. We'll buy some dinner from the cheesecake factory." He said and he brought Oscar with him.
"Thank you, Mr. Morgan." Alan said and I turned to him smiling. My dad left with Oscar and I sat down on the sofa. I took out my dad's medicine and started to make a note for him.
"What are you doing?" Alan asked.
"Settling my dad's medicines." I said and Alan sat beside me.
"Danielle."
"Hmm?" I asked.
"I want to go to Santorini with you." He said and I stopped whatever I'm doing. I turned to him and I sat up straight.
"Don't you have.. work here?"
"I want to be with you and Oscar." These days, Alan really proved me and Oscar that he's serious. Everyone can see that he really loves Oscar and there's no denying that Oscar really need his dad.
"I want to be with you, Danielle. I can't stay away from you anymore, it will make me crazy." I smiled listening him saying that.
"You go to school again to be a pharmacist, you worked hard to get there and you want to leave it behind?" I asked.
"Maybe.. I can be a pharmacist there but if not.. I'll be fine. I still have big shares in Reyes Oil and some other things. I definitely will be okay without a job for a couple of months." He said and when I was about to say something.
"I will.. make sure Oscar gets anything you want. I will work hard and-"
"I'm not working either, Alan. My dad let me rest and it's been years since I'm not actively working. I mean I have money to live so you don't need to worry about that." I said and he was.. speechless.
"Okay but still I'm coming to Santorini with you." He said as he grabbed my hand begging.
"Please.."
"You can be here and I can come constantly to-"
"Danielle, I can't be separated with you anymore!" He bursted frsurated as he looked at me completely sad.
"Fine." I said and he smiled widely. He was slowly leaning his face to me and he kissed me slowly. I kissed him back and he pulled me closer.
"Thankyou." He said and I nodded. He hugged me tightly and helped me wrapping my legs around his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Thankyou so much." He said and I patted his back.
"You'll be my girlfriend right?" He asked and I released the hug.
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"I'm not the type who will get back with my ex." I said teasing him and he looked at me disbelief.
"But.."
"I wonder why you don't find someone else. I thought you're married already or maybe have a kid already." I said as I caressed his cheek.
"I tried but it's not working. None of them worked besides I invested my time more to look for you." He said as he hugged me again.
"Will you get back with me?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"Danielle.." He whined.
"You're my ex."
"So what do you want? Get married straight away? I don't mind." I looked at him disbelief. I never even think about marriage, I always think that I will only dedicate my life for Oscar.
"Married?"
"Yeah, you and me." He nodded.
"Let's take it slow, Alan." I said and he nodded.
"I'm going to bake cookies." I got off him and walked towards the kitchen. I started to take out all the ingredients and Alan walked into the kitchen.
I took the mixer out, some bowls and starting to pre-hear the oven. I turned to Alan and he's looking at me with those eyes.
"What?"
"You look so different."
"Different?"
"Yeah, back then.. you were so badass."
"Maybe because I'm a mom now. I wanna keep it lowkey." I said as I started cracking eggs to the bowl.
"I like the new version better."
"Liar." I said as I poured the flour into the bowl along with the sugar.
"I'm in my 30s, Danielle. I'm done playing around but.. if you decide to.. you know.." I looked at him disbelief and he scratched his head looking away.
"Sorry." He apologized and I chuckled.
"I'm a full time, mom. I have been concentrating more on Oscar than my appearance lately. He used to be a calm kid but he's been doing crazy these days." I said honestly as I turned on the mixer.
"You always look beautiful, Danielle. With or without makeup, I always love it."
"Nice try." I said pointing my finger at him.
"I'm serious.." He said and I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Oh.. I'm not letting you stay in the same house as us in Santorini, so you have to book a hotel or find a place on your own." I said as I added other ingredients.
"I can sleep on the sofa."
"No."
"Danielle."
"If you're not cooperating with me, I'm going to kick you away." I said seriously and looked straight at him.
"Okay.. that's a little.. scary."
"I'm letting you see Oscar everyday if you stay at the hotel or find a house that you can rent."
"Fine.. I'm doing it."
