"Mommy! A bug bit me!" she complained.
"Austin do you mind?" I ask. He stays frozen, not moving. His eyes glued to Nalini.
"Let me see, sweetie," I say. She shows me her hand where a small bump id beginning to form.
I kissed it better and said, "It'll be fine, it's just a mosquito bite. It noting too dangerous," I say sweetly in my mother tone.
"Thank you mommy," she says with that adorable voice. "I'm sorry for coming in," she apologized.
"It's okay; just don't let it happen again, okay?" I ask. You could never stay mad at this child.
"Okay." She said walking out the door. I smiled to myself and closed it behind her, when I turned around, Austin was looking intently at me. I jumped, I had forgotten he was even there.
"Mommy?! You're a mother!?" he asks shocked.
"Y-Y-Yes," I stuttered
His eyes narrowed at me studying me, watching my every facial expression.
"When?" he asked simply, but angrily. Why was he angry? He doesn't care for me anymore
"Going to answer that?" he asked rudely
"Nine years ago," I breathed out
"With who?" he asked again, watching me intently
I froze. I couldn't answer this. Lie to his face? After all these years, I still can't. This is impossible to hide. It's obvious. Her eyes, her looks. It's the genes. Any father, even unknown, could recognise, especially someone like Austin, his child. I realise he needs, or more like wants an answer. He walks over to the door after scoffing at me.
His hands are on the door knob, when I say, "Dallas'"
"What?" he asks as though he didn't hear right, but we both know he did, but wanted to confirm his ears weren't playing tricks on him.
"Her father is Dallas," I say again my voice steady.
"Well, then were is he?" he asks harshly turning around to face me now. Staring at me dangerously.
"I told you, I'm divorced."
"Why? Because he's an asshole who can't take take of his woman or child?" he asks stiffly.
I was angry now. Sure I was divorced with him, but Austin has no right to say this. He doesn't know anything about Dallas and Nalini. He know nothing at all
"He's been more of a father than you'll ever be!" I yell before I notice the words that slipped out of my mouth.
I know it's short, but was it worth a review, fav or follow?
