Stephanie POV
Three weeks have passed and Paul didn't stop home for any of them, his work fell hard on him, so I've been taking care of everything all by myself, at the first days it was hard to manage but now I'm a pro at it, I don't have to clean everyday because the house doesn't get dusty that fast, I need to clean the kitchen floor a lot because of the dog running around, but I have to admit, he's really cute, now the baby is a full time job, and I'm loving him so much, I wish I'll have a child like this one, he behaves so well.
It's currently midnight or past that, and I'm on my way to the kitchen to prepare something to wat before I go to bed, Paul said he would be tomorrow by the morning here, he's really anxious to see his son, he never got so many days apart from him, but everyday we do facetime wherever he can due to the time zones he's on, and Adam is starting to know his daddy on the phone as well.
When I was about to enter the kitchen door, I heard the front door trying to be opened and I got scared straight away, ok… the house has alarm, I have a phone who I will call the police, and I have a baby at home I have to protect… lord help me!
Then I just hear the door slam straight behind and I just got steady like a rock, my thoughts were that it was a thief and he had a gun and who knows what more.
But when I saw the man entering, he smiled at me.
"Hi Stephanie!" It's Paul?! He said he would come tomorrow.
"You scared me to death! I thought I was about to be robbed" My body relaxed after he was approaching me.
"Yeah I'm sorry about not warning but I could come in a flight tonight, next time I'll warn you for sure and that lock needs to be changed, it's being a pain in the ass lately " When he was in front of me I really saw him closely and my mind was just thinking, how hot does he look on that pilot suit, I have a weakness for suits in any kind but that one adjusts so good on his muscular body, the lights are dim that's why I wasn't watching him that well from far away.
"Let me take your luggage upstairs, you must be tired" I had to take off my eyes of him for a second, I don't want to think I'm into him when I'm not, but I'm into that fetish of mine.
"No need, they heavy, I'll carry them, I'm going to eat something, do you want something? Airplane food is crap!"
"Well, I was going to the kitchen to pick on something because Adam jus fell asleep, so, I'll accept the offer" He smiled and put the luggage on a corner and we entered the kitchen, he turned on the lights and immediately James was all over us, I swear this dog never seems to sleep, whenever I go to the kitchen he's always all over me when he's in it
"He's always like this when I come here, such a joy" He picked him up and started to pat him.
"Oh, he's such a good boy, my company in many days and nights"
I went to the fridge and took out my yogurt and crème cheese to put on some crackers.
"I do believe, I had a dog back on my parents' house, I loved that dog, till I had to come here and how many times I cried over him" I pulled out a plate and put everything on it so I could eat properly.
"They're our best friends… I need to talk to you about these past weeks that I didn't want to say on the phone because I don't trust any other place than my house, it's been driving me crazy" He sounds desperate for sure, I put my plate on the kitchen island and sat down while I was watching him doing his snack but he still was talking.
"You know I'm here to listen and help so bring it on"
"As I thought it's hard to work with her, because she goes and gives me food at the cabin, she tries to flirt with me still, at the hotels we stayed, she would come to my door and try to convince me all of this was mistake and she made a wrong move about calling a lawyer straight away when I'm so happy in a way that she did it, that's why it's been taking so long the divorce, she put the papers on hold in hope to get back together, and I want to make that head of hers understand that there's nothing more here, she's been sending me naked pictures and dirty messages even!"
"Either she's crazy or dumb, or even both" Meanwhile he finished preparing his food and sat in front of me on the other side of the island.
"Let's take option 3, both. And like this wasn't enough already, some girl of the work knows I'm in this situation and wants to jump on me, and she's on of Wendy's best friends there!" I understand his position, but here's a good opportunity to forget the wife for a while.
"Would you like to have something with that lady? Or you still feel desire for your still wife?" He looked at me like I'm some kind of crazy woman.
"No and no, they can both go to somewhere else and choose another guy to do it, I just want my peace for now and focus on my son, when my body and heart starts to fail I'll go somewhere and try to meet someone" He feels like me when I ended everything, that's why three years passed and I'm still single.
"I understand you, now you just deal with it and do the best for you and your child, and focus on your work above it all"
"You know? You're a great adviser, I'm glad you're close to me, I think you're the most normal person I have in my life"
"I still have my flaws, but probably…" He laughed and took one more bite of his bread.
"Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment with Adam, routine checkup, so if you want to go out while we out as well be my guest, so you can have a time for yourself as well, you deserve it after these weeks" He recognizes my job, that's nice, not like those rich bosses that don't give a fuck about employees.
"I appreciate it, I'll definitely will take that offer up, I can use some free time" As much as I like this I need my time, I'm not used to be in charge of something but my own things but at the same time it's a good exercise for the future.
"Well I'm finished here, I'm going to rest and give a big kiss to my son that I miss so very much, if you want you can stay here" He left the table but I'm finished anyways so I'll just go along with him.
"I'll go too, today the mister wanted a lot of attention, so I barely cleaned the house, so tomorrow I'll manage everything better after having a bit of time for myself" I stood up from the chair and put the plate on the dishwasher.
"Yes, you can manage things your way on your job, as long as it's done in the end of the month" This boss is a really cool one, better than my last one for sure.
"I won't let you down, don't worry" He smiled at me and we both went out of the kitchen and said good night to the four-leg little demon.
We went upstairs and he asked me permission to go and take Adam of my room to his, which of course I did, because one it's his son, and two, while he's home he's going to be the one taking care of him but I'll help, but only if he needs, or in an emergency.
"So, see you tomorrow morning, or any time of the day, now it's easy to find you" Paul said lowly as he was holding Adam on his arms to bring him to his room.
"That's right, have a good night!" We both went our ways and I fell on my bad as a rock falling into the ocean, tomorrow I'm thinking going out with my dearly friend Ethan id he's available, I miss him so much, we text each other often but it's not the same as being with the person face to face, he works on a travel agency and he's a success there, I confess I had a crush on him before, but then I understood this would be only friendship after we kissed sometimes and it was awkward so it was a sign it was just a friendship, this was before my abusive ex.
Paul POV
If feels good going out with my son, currently I'm in the waiting room of the clinic, and I see all this couples with their babies and I'm the only one alone, it's sad but it's the best choice right now.
"Adam Levesque, door 2 please" The doctor called and I picked up the carrier and headed to the office.
"Hello there Paul, how are you buddy?" Let's say Josh he's a friend of mine for a long time as well, we all got succeed on life, and there's some I still need to present all the way.
"Everything's fine Josh, I'm here with the little one, 3-month appointment" I shook his hand and placed the carrier on the floor, Adam is awake but really peaceful looking at the toys he has hanging on the carrier.
"No wife today?" He said while he was reaching for Adam to untangle him from his place, Josh is the doctor that saw him born, well he took it out from Wendy, so he's family not only because he's a longtime friend.
"No and never more" He has Adam on his arms and looked at me shocked.
"What happened? You two seemed so in love"
"Well we were, or I think we were, she said ugly things about Adam and confessed a few things that are unforgiven" I better not remember them because I get pissed off really quick.
"It must be really bad then, because you're not easy to get your feathers ruffled"
"Let's not talk about that" He understood my point and changed subject.
"Let's see this boy here, he's so big! What are you feeding him? Something to make trees grow?"
"No, my poor baby, but I've noticed that as well, his clothes are getting so small, he's with almost 5 months clothes now" He put Adam on the baby scale and started to undress him to his diaper so he could weight him, but then Adam started crying to the lack of clothes.
"No wonder… he's 13.5 lbs! What's up Adam? You don't like to feel the cold? Who likes isn't it true?" He heighted him as well and started to feel his heart beat and everything else.
"Paul, you have a healthy baby here, for my calculations he's going to be as big as you or close" He was dressing him by now while I was beside them, he handed me a crying Adam, I took him on my arms and minutes later he calmed down, he senses my smell and knows my embrace, I believe it's his comfort zone.
"I try my best with him" And I looked at Adam thinking how lucky I am to have him in my life and how I'll do my best to raise him without a mom.
Josh sat down on his chair and motion me to sit down in front of him.
"How's your work? How can you manage it with him? If you want, I can give you the number of my nephew nanny, she's great, and hot!" Josh is that type of friend that is on his 30's but still thinks he's 20.
"It's been a great comeback, I've been away for 15 days and I appreciate it J, but I have a nanny already, she cleans around as well, I hired it before all this happened, she's been my savior, believe me" He eyed me that dirty look, I know what he's thinking.
"If you don't keep her, I'll do, tell me about her" See? And he doesn't even know her, he's a total player.
"Really? When are you going to grow up?" He smirked and leaned on his chair.
"When I feel like I have to, till there I'm just going to fool around"
"Yeah but Stephanie is not that kind of person for what I know" She said she was good on her own, so there's no need to set her up with anyone, it's not my business.
"Stephanie hum? Stephanie what?" Please tell me he doesn't know her… because lately everyone that I know it seems to know her as well.
"McMahon"
"I know that chick! She used to work on the bakery downtown!" This is ridiculous… I'm the only one that didn't know her…
"Yes, she did, and it's incredible how all the people I know, know her too"
"The world Is small bro, man… that one is so hot, you have an airplane home, I would give a leg to get a piece of that woman" This is getting gross, a friend of mine pinning over my housekeeper.
"I bet you would…"
"Let me go there a day of this week, I want to meet her properly, it's a good time, you could help me out!" He's dreaming.
"No way! I don't want to be part of your fantasy"
"C'mon man… if you don't want her, I do! A woman like that shouldn't be wasted, and she's fresh meat, I can tell"
"Respect her, she's none of the hoes you dump after a one-night stand, she has standards and she deserve to be respected, she's not what you think she is" He raised his hands defeated.
"Calm down tiger… You don't need to protect her that way… I see… you fell over her already"
"Not! I'm on a process of getting divorced, and I have a child to take care of, I don't have time for relationships, but for what she's been to me and my family she deserves full respect" In the end it's true, I would hate to know that she was used when I think she deserves all the good things in this world.
"If you say so… in that case take this" He opened one of his drawers and pulled out something.
"And why would I use this?" He dropped on the table a bottle of strawberry flavored lube.
"If you don't have the real deal, this is the closest to that feeling, believe me, it makes wonders" I looked at the tube and my head started to think, it's been some weeks with none, and I'm kind of an active guy, I like to have my weekly activity at least two days a week, so why not?
"Thanks, I'm sure it will be fine" I took the bottle and put it on the baby bag, I don't need no one to see me carrying a bottle of lubricant.
"Well I have an appointment next; it was a great pleasure to see you and that little guy" I put Adam on the carrier and buckled him up all safe.
"Thanks, you too, get better of that head of yours" He shook my hand instead of hugging, my other hand was holding the carrier already.
"You know me… always the same, but I won't lose hope on making you a visit" I can see a nightmare coming.
"Be careful on what you do" He assured me It was fine and I left, I just hope he doesn't go crazy over this.
Arthur was waiting for me outside because I want to be besides my son on car rides and since I have a driver, I don't need to drive myself.
My thoughts were to go home but the day is so bright and I miss walking around the suburbs, I was such a happy kid there.
"Arthur, leave me on the suburbs please, I'm going to do a walk with Adam, to catch some good weather"
"Yes sir" He started the car and here we go.
"Arthur can I ask you something?" He's a loyal man and wise, I like to talk to him about problems and I know he won't tell a soul.
"Of course, sir"
"What would on my situation?" He looked at me through the mirror.
"How so sir?"
"Being a single parent, a busy one, should I try to get a mother figure for Adam?"
"I advise you Sir, to follow the heart, and honestly I think Adam has one mother figure already"
"You mean Stephanie?"
"Yes, Miss. Stephanie is a great woman let me tell you Sir, all the times she would go shopping I would go with her to help her as you asked me to, and you can see the love she has for your son, she's really gentle and caring" He knows more than me because he's been spending more time with her than me.
"I can't date Stephanie, she would never want me, I have a son already, my life is a mess right now, my ex is a maniac, my work takes so many days out of town, who wants to live with someone like this?"
"You will never know until you ask her, but then again Sir, only if the heart tells you that she's the one"
"Yes of course" Badly he knows Wendy's still sending me shit, I can't block her because we still need to finalize the divorce.
"But Sir, if you find someone that's not Miss. Stephanie, don't keep her out of little Adam's life, she loves him too much"
"Never! She's been helping me so much; she has a part on his life already" For sure this conversation gave me more understanding on how I should proceed from now one.
"We're here Sir" He parked on the main street and I got out of the car, Arthur as well, he took out the baby car of the trunk and I took the carrier out of the car belt seat.
"Thank you so much Arthur" I attached the carried to the baby car, I put the cover so Adam wouldn't catch much sun.
"I'll be waiting for your call; I'll be wondering around" I let him go and I started to stroll around the streets.
I breathed this fresh air, this known smell, the smell of childhood, when I would pass with my parents on the bakery, the fresh bread and cakes they would buy for me and my sister, the gambling shops that my dad would buy his scratch cards, so many memories.
I passed by some other stores where I stopped by to show my son, some owners are old other's not so much, and they know me since a little boy, so now seeing the little boy has now a little boy it's emotional for them, but of course I get proud to listen them saying Adam is such a beautiful boy, that got my side.
Adam is enjoying this walk, he's all happy inside and babbling, but I'm getting hungry so I decided to stop by my favorite bakery.
I entered the bakery and Mrs. Hannah was at the balcony talking to a client, she runs the business with her husband Mr. Harry, I waited near the wall so she could finish the client, and she didn't saw me yet.
I was looking around and the bakery is full of people, this place was always a busy one and I see it still is, but my eyes particularly spotted a woman that's with her back against me.
Stephanie.
How in the world we end in the same place, knowing the same people? This is starting to get scary, but I saw she is with a guy, holding hands, and I can see him laughing, her I can't see but I guess she's too, and somehow that got me, I felt like shit in that moment, did she lied when she said she didn't want anyone? Or was trying to cover the fact she has a boyfriend? But for what reason? And why I'm feeling like someone stole something from me?
"Paul?! Is that you?!" My head was interrupted by Mrs. Hannah talking, I snapped my head her and I saw that smiled on her face.
"The one and only" I walked to the balcony pushing the car and smiled at her.
"How long we don't see you around! Don't tell me it's your baby already?" I took the protector behind the carrier so she could see him.
"Yes, my boy with 3 months, time flies by"
"He's so beautiful, that furry blond hair, totally you! Tell me! What would you like to eat? I still have those cakes you used to like so much" Oh she still has them! After all these years.
"Oh yes! Give me two of those!"
"Sit, sit! I'll go meet you right away" When I was about to sit down Adam started to cry, oh no…
"What's up buddy? You hungry too?" I'm trying to be discrete so Stephanie doesn't see me but I think that backfired.
"Paul! You're here?!" Stephanie said from two tables away the balcony.
"Yes, it's me, how did you know his crying?" Well I headed to her, I don't want to be rude and ignore her, now that she saw me.
"Oh, c'mon I spend my whole day with him, I know his crying from miles away" I put the car next to the table so he was on her level.
"It's his time to eat so… I'll leave you enjoying your time, see you soon" I was about to leave she put her hand on the car for me to stop and accidentally her hand fell on top of mine and I seriously felt electricity running through my body.
"No, stay here with us, there's table for one more and a little one" She sided over and I sat besides her, well this is awkward.
"Well let me introduce you two, Paul this is Ethan, and Ethan this is Paul" I shook the boy's hand while the other was pushing the car back and forth so I could calm Adam down, I wanted to wait for my food but I guess he can't wait, I don't blame him, he doesn't eat since lunch.
I took him out of the carrier, trying to calm him down, while I reached over to his bag to take out the bottle of milk.
"Here you have Paul! You're favorites and that so delicious hot chocolate" Mrs. Hannah put the food and drink in front of me, and now everything is going to get cold, it's these times I needed a present mother to my child, so we could divide between the two of us.
"Thank you so much" She smiled at me and then she asked the question that everyone does.
"Are you two friends?"
"Yes, we are Hannah, I work for Paul, remember the job I said I got? It's on his house" Of course they know each other, it would be weird if they didn't.
"That's so fantastic, very lucky you two!" And she left to the balcony again because there's more clients waiting.
"I can feed him, you need to eat as well, we already finish, I can help" Well I'm not turning down her offer, I'm really starving.
"I would appreciate it, I'm really hungry" I handed him to her, and the bottle.
"Hi handsome, missed me?" She talked to him and out of nowhere the cries turned into babbling, I don't know how she does it honestly.
"I think he did Steph" That Ethan guy spoke and smiled to her, I don't like him already.
"He was just missing me, he can't pass by without me anymore" and she elbowed me, she's so confident of herself sometimes, that I truly get happy that she feels comfortable around me.
"I'm starting to see that more and more" I said taking a bite of this delicious cake.
Stephanie ended up feed Adam up, and I was taking on her sight, trying to see what Arthur was saying to me about them two, and he wasn't wrong at all, I can see the love they have for each other, the way Adam looks at her, and the way she's with him, pure love I would describe.
"Steph we should get one, what do you think?" And I shocked up on a sip of hot chocolate, that guy is really her boyfriend?
"Paul! Are you ok?!" I could hear the concern on her voice, and I gave her a thumbs up, it was just the moment.
"Ethan don't be crazy… our time passed long ago and you know it" She said as she put the bottle on top of the table and put Adam on the position to burp giving gentle taps on his back, so they are an ex couple?
"I know but maybe we could change that… You know it was awkward by then, but now we are older and single, we could give it a try" I can't believe he's having this conversation with her like I'm not existing ever.
"We can talk about this later Ethan, right now it's not a good time" she sounded calm, so… they ex boyfriends… but he wants to go back to her, he's a smart guy at least, she's her!
"Fine by me" He leaned back smiling.
"How was the appointment? If I may know?" She does care.
"It was all fine, the doctor says he's really good how he is, all healthy" She smiled to me and started to play with him.
"See Adam? You're going to turn out a heart breaker" and he giggled to her, is he really understanding what she's saying?
"Like his dad" I threw this joke and Ethan somehow got offended.
"Look who is big as his ego" This kid pushing his luck.
"Look Pal, I don't know you from anywhere, so you shouldn't judge me as I don't do the same to you" Stephanie was quiet and just listening.
"Why would you? Have you seen me? Nothing compared to you" He's a blondish guy with green eyes, would say a little less tall than me, and I can see he's toned, and he seems two years older than Stephanie, I don't know where he's more than me.
"Kid, I don't know what you're trying to say, but you should have more respect for people older than you" I'm glad I was finished with food already, because I'm out of here as soon as I call Arthur to pick me up, I don't want to go further with this conversation, if not, everything will end up with him in some hospital bed, I need to control this fury that I've been feeling lately.
"Ok! Guys! Stop please, Ethan this is my boss, be more respectful" She saw me angry before, and I'm sure she doesn't want to see me again, she knows it ain't pretty.
"I don't like smart guys, just that…" I was about to answer him but Stephanie grab my arm to not say anything, for her sake I didn't and pulled out my phone to text Arthur, I don't need him to hear this mess.
"He was just making a joke… what's up with you?" Well Arthur texted he was here in 10, so let's start to pack everything.
"So… I'm get going, I'll let you both be alone, I'm sorry in first place I came over" I took Adam out of Stephanie without any warning and she had a hurt look on her face, and for the fuss that Adam did I could tell he felt the same, but right now I'm to pissed to care about anything, but I'll make sure to apologize to Stephanie later when we both home.
I put Adam on the carrier and buckled him, next I picked up the bottle that's empty and opened his bag, when I saw the lube there…. I totally forgot I had put it there, I shoved the bottle as quickly as I could and zipped the bag, so no one would catch my drift.
"You don't need to apologize, I do! He's not like that, don't you Ethan?" she looked at him with a stern look.
The guy shrugged his shoulders and I just think he's a lost case, I'm not used to hang out with this type of immature people.
"Well I'm going, you two take care" I got up and left without wanting to hear anything more.
"Thank you, Mrs. Hannah! Send my regards to Mr. Harry, I'll be back as soon as I can so we can have a little chat time"
"Of course, Paul, come back as much as you want, it was great to see you!" I paid my bill and got out.
Outside Arthur was waiting for me already, he got out of the car as soon as he saw me, I unattached the carrier to the baby car, and I entered the car with Adam while Arthur was folding the baby car to put on in the trunk.
"I hope you had a good walk with baby Adam Sir" he said when he sat on the wheel, and I was finishing buckle the carrier to the seat.
"Yes it was such a great throw back in time, I have to do this often, everyone liked to see the little guy" I'm not even going to acknowledge the fact that I found Stephanie and that crazy kid, I don't know why she even is friend with him, he look away out of league in every aspect.
"Where would you like to go next?"
"Home, I want to go home, I'm not used to this routine and I feel mellow already" it's a lie, I'm fine, but this unplanned meeting screwed my head up, I really need to blow some steam off, maybe it's what it's missing, I'm not this explosive daily.
Arthur started the car and we are on our way, I hope Adam falls asleep during the ride, so when I arrive everything is more peaceful and I really can take this pressure off me.
Luckily Adam fell asleep on the ride home, he was the one tired for sure, so I just laid him on his crib not covering him because it's too warm in this house and outside, honestly I striped him to his diaper because he was sweating, someone is going to have a good bath later.
I undress myself from my shirt and shorts as well and spread all my self on the bed, and started to touch myself through my boxers.
I closed my eyes and started to imagine some random naked woman on my mind, but nothing was causing a reaction, so I tried another thing, something that I didn't for years, I picked up my phone and searched for porn, I don't know what I even like anymore, I just searched some random stuff, till I found some videos of a young girl taking in with a older man and that got me, that got me good!
I removed my boxers because it was starting to get painful having them, now my full hard on sprang free and I started to jack myself slowly, I know my son is besides the other side of the bed, but his crib has protection on the side so I feel safer so he won't understand nothing in case he wakes up.
I feel so weird doing this, but it's feeling good at the same time, I can feel myself wonder to the other sides, but suddenly my head was filled with images of Stephanie and that innocent way of her, and how that wakes up something in me, the way she swings those hips of her, that way of her being so sweet and caring, oh how good she is…
Wait! I can't fantasize about my housekeeper, it's wrong in every way, I think everyone is putting this into my head and now I'm getting it good, but I can't deny it's feeling awesome thinking about her, fuck the porn!
I put myself on my knees on the bed, went to the baby bag near my bed and took out the lube, I squeezed it into my hand and kept jerking off and it feels so moist, just like a women's privates, I kept on my knees and speeded up my pace, and my mind never left the thought of her, her perfect lips, that ass of hers, it's bringing me down to the edge, and I swear I could hear her sweet voice calling my name, it's really hot the thought of her on top of me riding me and moaning my name.
I'm so on the edge, two more strokes and I'm there.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" I opened my eyes, I didn't even notice that I had them closed, and saw her at the door with a mortified look on her face but the only thing I did was Cumming looking at her eyes.
Oh shit, she was really calling me and I thought it was my fantasy, what she might be thinking of me right now.
She closed the door behind her as quickly as she could after her shock and I feel bad for this now, the woman that I was fantasize about just caught me in the act, well let's get dressed to find her and tell her it's fine, because honestly I don't regret it, it was quite hot for me her seeing me.
No, I really need professional help, I think…
