A/N: Thanks for ALL the reviews and follows and favorites! Please, do enjoy!
It's been a week since the big announcement came blasting through TV, tabloids, magazines, newspaper, everywhere! The hotel's Royal suite has been home ever since. Fresh beddings everyday, room service, and exclusive pool- I feel like a freakin' princess.
I snuggle comfortably closer to Takumi, wrapping my arm around his waist while my head rests on his toned chest. I could stay like this forever. He's breathing syncs perfectly with mine like a sweet lullaby. Is this a dream? I lift my head up to look at him, calmly sleeping.
Well, if this is a dream, don't wake me up.
As if on cue, a soft knock breaks through my thoughts. It's 7am which means time for Charles to eat breakfast. Carefully, I untangle myself from Takumi trying not to wake him up. I tiptoe my way to the door and open it ever so slightly.
"Morning Mommy!" Charles beams as he jumps cheerfully.
"Why so happy?" I say as I pick him up and carry him towards the Dining room.
"Daddy called me up this morning" he says proudly. And I'm rather confused.
"Daddy's sleeping Charles" I state as a matter of fact. Takumi came in late at night because of an emergency meeting. Usually he wakes up at this time and go off to work at 8am but I just don't have the heart to wake him.
"Silly mommy, Daddy Tora of course!" Charles tells me. I almost drop him. A heart attack is what this boy would give me.
"When- When did Tora call?" I ask.
He scrambled down as I place him on his feet. He runs to his room and comes back with that phone. I have to tell people to stop spoiling him. He hands me his iPhone- a gift from Tora. I check the record and looks like they talked pretty long. 1 hour, 23 minutes and 2 seconds to be exact.
" So... What did you talk about?" I ask curiously as I reach for his Cheerios.
"Ice cream!" He shouts from his chair.
"Okay, Ice cream... What else?" I must know. I haven't even thought about what to tell Tora when I see him!
"Good morning" Takumi comes in Pajamas and sits down beside Charles in the elegant dining set of wooden chairs.
"Morning daddy!"
I rush to get Cereal bowls and milk and set the kiddie breakfast for both of my boys. Takumi loves them for some reason.
I take my seat and watch them eat.
"You should eat Misaki" Takumi says as he looks up at me.
"I'm not hungry"
"Mommy did not eat dinner!" Charles tells.
Great. Just what I needed.
"Really, I'm not hungry guys"
"What do I need to do for you to eat?" Takumi sighs in frustration.
"Feed her daddy! When she doesn't wanna eat, Daddy Tora would order her favorite then spoon feed mommy!"
I feel my blood draining as I go livid. I silently wait for Takumi to react. Charles, innocent as ever, busily munches up his breakfast.
For a moment, a millisecond, he freezes in place.
"Excuse me. I have a meeting at 8:30." Takumi says as he gracefully stands from his seat and leaves the room.
Damn. He's mad. I mean, he can't get mad forever, right?
Tora was there when he wasn't. He became Charles' father figure when I can't answer for him. He can't freakin' blame me for that.
I clean up the dishes. I couldn't bear entering the room to face Takumi. If he's angry, fine. But for his information, I won't beg for his forgiveness for spending time with Tora.
Soon, Takumi emerges from our room all ready for work.
" Bye Daddy!" Charles kisses his dad. Crisp and neat suit- CEO Takumi is here. No one ever sees him as the sweet husband at work. He's all bossy and strict.
I hear the grand door close. What?! I turn to confirm he already left. I cross my arms and stare at the door. He's gonna come back any second now. Any second. 18 seconds has passed.
" Fine! Don't kiss me good-bye! Ignore me all you want!" I shout at the closed door. Charles looks up from his coloring book to face me.
" Mom, who are you taking to?"
" The door! Because apparently, daddy left me." I say sarcastically. I don't mean to vent my anger on the door nor on my Charles. But I can't believe Takumi is acting like a damn child!
All of a sudden my phone rings from the couch.
"I'll get it!" Charles races me to the couch and beats me to it.
"Slow mommy" He tells me as he hands me my phone.
My little boy. I tackle him and tickle his sides. His giggles fill the room with happy vibes. I love this boy.
"Okay, okay mommy! I... Give... Up" He says in between laughters.
I sit up and cuddle my boy as I answer my phone.
" Hello"
"Helloooo?" Charles says playfully as he places his mouth near my phone.
"Charles," I whine like a kid.
"Was that Charles?" The other end asks. That familiar voice. Damn!
I freeze in place. What would I do?
"Are you busy?" He asks me.
"Nope. Not really. Why?" I ask curiously.
"Meet me at the airport?" He asks. He sounds so hopeful. How could I reject?
"Okay, I'll tell Charles" I say without thinking.
Tora hangs up the phone. I stare at Charles watching spongebob. Takumi isn't going to like this.
