"Yeah, I know... I get it... ok, I'm going" Oliver said before ending the phone call and heading towards the living room.
I used my super speed to get rapidly to the living room and made my best to look normal. Oliver was in one of his visits to Central City, we were heatedly making out on my couch when my boyfriend's phone rang. I tried to persuade him of not answering and keep his attention on me, but he simply ignored me and exited the room to answer. He has been doing that a lot lately, making the pit in my stomach feel heavier each time.
"How's work?" I asked him, trying to sound as animated as possible, not showing my unease at his strange behavior.
"I need to go to do some things" he told me.
"Aha" I replied sadly.
"Are you ok Barry?" he asked me concerned.
"Yeah, totally fine..." I said softly, not meeting his eyes and trying to suppress the desires of running away from here or breaking down in tears in front of him "Just... just leave...".
"Barry, what's wrong baby?" he questioned me softly, putting a hand on my arm and trying to make me look at him.
"Stop it with the baby!" I demanded, pushing him away and looking at him betrayed "I don't want to be just another baby like those tons you have out there! I know that you are cheating on me! I just don't get it... don't you want me anymore? Am I not good enough?..." I felt tears running down my cheeks "Damn it!" I cursed angrily at showing how weak I was.
"Barry... Of course I want you, baby!" he exclaimed hurt that I would thought otherwise "And I am not cheating on you. The reason why I've been acting so strange is that... ok, let's just sit down and I'll explain everything for you" he told me. I hesitated a bit but ended up following his offer "While I was working a couple of months ago I discovered some secret deals my mother did, illegal deals. As Green Arrow I made sure that all of them were ruined... except of one. My mother had paid one million dollars to Samantha Clayton, a girl I had sex with while I was still dating Lauren, not one of the best moments in my life. The reason why my mother paid her so much was to stay silent and never tell anyone, especially me, that she had gotten pregnant by me".
"What?" I asked completely lost and heartbroken at the same time.
"I have a son Barry, his name is William and he lives in Central City" he explained to me more clearly.
"Why... why didn't you tell me?" I demanded to know, now not caring if I let my tears fall. I felt so betrayed... so used "You thought I wouldn't be a good father?... Or, you didn't want me to form part of that life with you. Is that, isn't it?".
"No! It's not that, baby" negated Oliver fiercely "I love you, you are my baby and I want to raise my son with you... but Samantha won't let me tell anyone. And if I do, she'll take William away from me. He doesn't even know I am his father" he tried to explain to me, desperate for me to understand and don't leave him. As always I couldn't win against those breathtaking blue eyes and crumpled against him. Oliver wrapped his arms protectively around my waist and sighed relived "Am I forgiven?".
"I understand why you had to lie to me, I can't stay angry at you for wanting to keep you son" I answered. Ollie almost collapsed above me in relief at my answer and his deep chuckled sent shivers down my spine "However," he tensed in expectation "I demand that you make this next Valentine unforgettable. Ok?" he began laughing against my ear relived "Can I... can I meet him?... Will?".
"I..." he tensed a bit but then sighed "Ok, come with me. Samantha is going to the park with Will, and he wanted me with him. You could come with me?" he offered me.
"I would love to" I replied cheerful.
He then guided me towards his motorcycle and drove towards the park. When we reached there I immediately knew who my boyfriend's son. He was small, blond, blue eyed and had the brightest smile.
"Oliver!" the little boy shouted happily and run towards my boyfriend, who lifted him from the ground and spun him around "You are here!".
"Of course, I am!" he replied smiling brightly, a true smile that I've only seen he flashes with me "Hey Will, would you like someone very important for me?" he asked the little boy who only nodded eagerly "Will, this is my boyfriend Barry. Barry this is my... this is William".
"Hi, William. How are you buddy?" I asked the little boy.
"Good. So you are both dating?" he asked us a bit confused.
"Yes, we are" Oliver replied, only from knowing him so much I was able to notice his nervousness.
"Cool! My best friend has two moms too" he said "Do you play soccer?" he asked me.
"I don't do sport" I replied "But... you could teach me".
"Ok" he said and hop off Ollie's arms, to then take my hand and drag me to where his ball is.
While playing with Will I was able to notice that Samantha and Ollie were having a fight, but that my boyfriend ended up winning at the end. I was so happy. Ollie wasn't cheating on me, I am going to help him raise his son...
"Wait a damn minute Allen!" exclaimed Eddie, interrupting my storytelling and snapping me out of my memory train.
"What?" I asked him a bit annoyed at being interrupted.
"What about Samantha Clayton? Isn't she angry at Queen? Will she take William away from both of you?" he shoot one question after the other one, not leaving me time to answer.
"Ha! I knew that the story would get your attention and stop hating Ollie" I exclaimed happily, with a victorious smile.
"Answer!" he ordered me.
"Ok" I sighed "But that will be a whole another story".
