A/N: So SORRY. I'll let you read now... Enjoy!
My eyes shot open, some sort of shock woke me up from such a beautiful dream. We were in the beach; Me, Takumi and Charles, laughing and playing. I close my eyes, desperately trying to get back to that dream, and then I feel it again.
"Geez". I reach out and I finally find the morning spoiler. My phone has been ringing endlessly. Who could possibly call me at…? I focus my eyes on the upper corner of my phone, and, IT'S 10 IN THE MORNING! I can't believe I over slept! I'm not wasting any minute. Without really thinking, I scramble down off the bed and hurriedly leave the room.
As I twist the door knob, I pause. Realization hits me; I'm not in my house. I remember now…Takumi…hotel… Pajama's…Charles. Charles! My feet come in contact with the cold marble floor on the step out the room but I ignore it, despite my shivering body under a silk night gown.
In the middle of the living room, I hear laughing and voices, I stop at my tracks. I'm positive that these were the voices in my dream/. I walk closer the fit of giggles. I lean on the door frame and stare at my son and Takumi, laughing over the breakfast table. They suddenly fall silent, and I wonder why.
Charles turns his head away from Takumi and he follows the direction of Takumi's eyes.
"Mommy!" Charles' shrieks with eyes full of glow as he spots me.
"Morning Charles" I smile at him genuinely.
Takumi stands from his chair, like those gentlemen from the 18th century. I want to laugh at his formality but I decide against it.
"How was your sleep?" He asks, taking a full glance on my body. I blush furious red. The way he looks at me makes me feel…bare.
"I'm in a night gown. Last time I checked, I slept in my long gown. Care to explain?" I say, in a serious tone.
"You molested me" The words come out from him so bluntly. I feel my fist clench.
"I WHAT?!" I scream at the top of my voice. I can't believe that in front of my son, he dares accuse me of, what was his term? Molesting him?!
"Ooohh…Mommy did something baad." Charles says out loud as if my hand was caught in the cookie jar.
"I. Did. Not. Do. Anything. Bad" I state firmly, crossing my arms. I narrow my eyes and look at the both of them.
"You guys are ganging up on me, aren't you?" I accuse them now. Their 2 against 1 game is not fair.
"But you bullied daddy, and bullies are baaaaaaad" Charles tells me while he shakes his head.
"Hey! I thought you were on my side!" I point out.
Takumi had a goofy smile when I shot him a glance.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SMILING AT?" I shout, my temperature rising.
"He called me 'daddy'" He says this and my eyes widen at the realization.
I look at Charles for answers, but his little eyes became just so lonely.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I sit beside him, placing my arms around his shoulders.
Takumi worriedly looks at Charles then at me.
"I want to bike with daddy" He pouts sadly. I never could resist frowning that sad face.
But all of a sudden my heart stops when it comes to me that he was referring to Igarashi.
Igarashi has been his dad for his whole life and I can't take that away. They were supposed to go biking today, after lunch.
"Wait a sec" I stand up from the breakfast table and rush back to my room. Takumi follows me quickly and eyes me like a hawk as I lift the pillows and the sheets off the bed.
I find my phone and look at all my missed calls. I left the party without a word! He must be worried sick. I speed dial his number and he picks up immediately.
"Tora!" I could feel Takumi's eyes burn at my back, and a part of me doesn't want to look at his reaction.
"I'm sorry but something came up…were okay…he's safe with me… TV? Why? What's up?... what?!" I scream loudly over the phone. I pick up the remote on the side table and turn the TV on. Takumi faces the TV as well.
"Oh, dear." I drop my phone, paralyzed by what I'm seeing. I stare at the TV wide-jaw not believing what on earth.
NEWS TODAY: WALKER INC. CEO, REVEALS THE EMPIRE'S NEXT HEIR.
There was a photo of Charles sleeping in Takumi's protective arms. It looked like a perfect Father-son moment. But my attention all comes down to Charles, my little boy.
"Hell!" Takumi yells. My body freezes, I never saw him so mad.
He exits the room fuming in anger. I run to go after him back in the breakfast table with Charles.
Without stopping, he snatches his phone lying on the table.
"I'M NOT PAYING YOU TO SIT AROUND AND SLEEP! GO DO SOMETHING, NOW! OR YOU COULD PACK YOUR THINGS AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!"
I wince at his anger going out of hand. Charles gets down from his seat and runs to me, clutching my leg tightly.
"Is he mad at me?" He says, worried if he did something wrong. I shake my head saying 'no'. I find Takumi looking at us; he unleashed a side of him I only saw once or twice before. It was safe to say he was already calmed down but I never though I would see him this furious.
He comes closer to us and Charles hides behind my leg. I see the hurt in Takumi's eyes, it's not his fault. Takumi kneels down to Charles level to talk to him.
"I'm sorry, someone I hired did not do his job and now daddy feels so scared because of this stupid person." He explained to Charles, trying to coax him
"DADDY SAID A BAD WORD!" He gasps, looking up at me and pointing to Takumi.
I earn a confused look from him.
"S-t-u-p-i-d is a bad word" I spell it to Takumi, clearing up his confusion.
He grins smugly at me then looks sternly to Charles.
"Let me tell you about mommy's vocabulary back in Seika as your bedtime story later, okay?"
Shi-. No way. There's no way he would even dare to pollute my baby's mind.
Charles nods vigorously.
"Once you do, I'm…I'm…" I challenge him, but nothing really comes to mind.
"At lost for words, my dear wife?" He says, with an eyebrow rising.
"I-" An elevator 'ping' cuts me off. We all pause and look towards the elevator. Curious eyes wait for the doors to reveal whose inside. My heart leaps out of place when it opens. There, walked out THE WALKER CHAIRMAN- Takumi's powerful grandfather together with his wife.
