Chapter 57

Sky took his bike to the park; he gazed around and spotted several boys with their fists up and naturally, one of them was Colby. Sky didn't know if he should be mad or proud. He chose the latter and made his way toward the boys. He took of his helmet and held it in his left hand. A man came up to the kids and pulled what looked to be his son away and slapt Colby to the floor, « Don"t play with his kind! Can"t you see his barcode? » the father yelled. The boy cringed and Colby got up angrily. Sky quickly made his way to his son, arriving behind him.

« Don"t give me that look, you freak! » the father yelled at Colby. It was only then that he spotted the man with the bleached hair and the biker helmet in his hand; but it was the look in the tall man's eyes that made the man squirm, but he stood his ground. « You got a problem ? » the man asked Sky.

Colby looked up and spotted his father. He was lightly surprised, but before his father had supposedly died, he's told him he'd be back. Colby had trusted his father. Colby looked back at the man with the beerbelly who'd slapped him across the face.

« You just his my son. » Sky stated.

« You"re not his father. I saw the news, the kid"s father is dead. » the man sneered. But as he looked more closly at the strong man who's presence demanded attention, he saw features the boy had, the little freak.

Sky took a step closer and sneered at the simple minded human, « He"s my son and if you ever lay a hand on him again you"ll be sorry. » Sky realised that he was the center of attention of a small crowd, one that was mainly of children and their parents. He turned around to leave, « Come on Cole. » he said.

Colby took one last look at the boy who was his friend, « Bye. » he sajd and walked away. He caught up to his father and walked beside him, trying to keep up with the long strides his father was taking. When they had reached the bike, Sky turned around and looked down at his son and glared at the mark the man had left on his son's face. « You alright? »

Colby shrugged it off, « I coulda taken care of myself. »

Sky grinned, « Sure you could have. »

« I could of. » Colby insisted.

« You will when I"m done with you. » Sky vowed.

Colby frowned up at his father, « You gonna teach me to fight? »

« I"ll teach you how to protect yourself and to fight. » Sky answered his son.

« Where were ya? » Colby asked, changing the subject.

« Around. » Sky answered. Colby nodded, not asking about the vague answer.

« Did you go see mommy, cause she"s always cryin. » Colby said.

« Ya, I went to see her. » Sky answered, « I came to pick you up. »

Colby looked at the bike, « Can I drive? »

Sky shuckled, « Not today son, but soon. » Sky picked his son up and planted him on the bike. He put the helmet on him and realised it was way to big. He took if off and placed it on his head instead. He climbed on behind Colby and revved th motor. Colby placed his hands on the handle bars. Sky took off doing a cat walk. He could hear Colby laughing and it made him smile. They arrived at his mothers house in record time. Haley was standing outside and spotted Sky doing a cat walk before the bike came to a stop. Sky saw the furious look on her face and realised he'd done something wrong, what? he had no idea.

« Colby, get of that bike right now! » she yelled and then turned her anger on Sky, « And you, what in the world were yo thinking? You don"t put a little boy on a bike like that, without a helmet, might I add! and on top of that you"re pulling stunts with my son on a bike! »

Sky squirmed, and wondered how she could make him feal two inches tall. « Sorry. » Sky mumbled.

Tears appeared. « Shit. » Sky swore and swung his leg off the bike and went to her, « Haley, please, don"t cry. » he took her in his arms and he felt immense relief to have her snuggled against him. She held on tight, « I couldn"t bare to lose him. » she whispered.

Sky realised he felt the same way.

« I"m sorry, honey, I really am. » he kissed her forhead and breathed in her hair.

Teary eyes looked up at him; he was caught in her gaze and felt himself lean forward and capture her lips with his. He just pressed himself against her at first, but then he increased the pressure and her lips opened, letting him roam the inside of her mouth his his tong. God, did it ever feal right and he felt it in the pit of his gut. He kissed her with everything he had and she did the same, Both of them were breathing hard when he pulled away. She looked up at him, her eyes glazed with passion. « Jesus. » he managed.

Haley looked around and spotted Colby looking up at them with a frown on his face. « Yuk. » he said, turned around and ran into the house.

Haley turned red, Sky was grinning. « Glad that hasn"t gone away. » Sky said, referring to the attraction they had for each other. She turned redder.
