1083 Unexpected visitor

Ria could only sigh in frustration as she watched Zach and Edison play with breakfast. Not because she did not like what she was observing but because of some different reason.

Then, why was she disappointed? If anybody was interested, because nothing happened. Damn! Just when it was getting somewhere. Bang! They had to stop. She was unable to fulfill her wild and sexy fantasy.

What happened? Edison happened.

Sarah knocked on her door and dropped Edison home. Of course, she was happy to see her son, but she could not help but feel the desperation of feeling his arms wrapped around her body.

“Breakfast is almost ready. Go wash your hands.” Ria announced to the two boys in her living room, watching an early kiddie show on the screen.

Hastily, Zach encouraged Edison to run to the kitchen while he turned off the television and followed closely behind. Then, they both washed their hands before settling on the kitchen table.

Soon, she served their meal on the table and placed the dirty pans on the sink. When she returned, the two were already playing a game. Zach had positioned the two eggs she cooked, side by side, on the plate and took two slices of bacon, cutting them into long strips.

Then, he put some of them on the top of the plate, making it look like hair. Then, he drew the lips using ketchup, the mayonnaise as the nose, and some mustards as eyebrows for the eggs that served as eyes.

“You see, this is fun.” He expressed, chuckling with her son, who seemed to enjoy what he showed him. “You see the face.” Pointing to his masterpiece.

.....

It did look pleasing as she watched the two interact with each other. She guessed whatever fantasy she had would have to wait until they could find their moment alone again.

But she had seen him looking at her with those blazing eyes. She could tell that he was as frustrated as she was. He had not lost his desire. It was still brewing underneath his smiles.

“Fun,” Her son said, imitating him again. “Do more.” Edison urged him, amused by their little game.

For now, she had to be a caring and devoted mother. Not the sexy siren, if she could even call herself that, remembering her sexy lingerie. Anyway, she missed her son and would make time for him.

“No more. We should not be playing with our foods since they are not toys.” She suddenly sounded like the nun that sometimes fed them when she was young, remembering her short time at the orphanage.

She would have loved to stay there because the nuns were very kind, but the orphanage had to shut down because of the lack of funds if she remembered correctly. But she was so young then that she hardly remembered the details.



To make the story short, she had to bounce from one foster care to another. Sometimes, she just blamed herself for her terrible luck. Anyway, she still worked hard every chance she got.

She was not the most intelligent student, but she worked twice as hard, knowing it was her only ticket out of her impoverished situation. Then, finally, she earned a scholarship to one top league university.

Then, the rest was history.

“I am sorry.” Suddenly, Zach felt guilty for starting the activity. “I was just trying to help.” He added, still looking very apologetic.

She could not help but find it adorable how he pouted his lips and made those puppy eyes that could melt a freezing heart. Suddenly, she realized that her son was also doing the same thing.

“Just eat your breakfast.” How could she even be mad at that scene? It was like they were bonding faster than she imagined.

She did not expect that Zach would manage to stay with her son for more than five minutes. And not just that. He seemed comfortable handling a toddler like him. He looked natural.

Or he was just good at acting.

“Come on, Edi, we need to finish this before the monster comes to take it away.” Zach playfully said to her son, who appeared mesmerized with him as he nodded in agreement.

Zach quickly divided the food into three plates. Just a few for Edison and an equal portion between her and him. Then, he asked her to join them at the table.

“Am I the monster in this story?” She suddenly asked, thinking if he was referring to her as the one who would take their food.

She took one piece of the shredded bacon strip and put it inside her mouth. It was still delicious whether they had torn it into pieces. Then, she grabbed a slice of bread to go with it.

“Of course not. You are the fairy that will feed us. Right, Edison?” Zach urged the child to agree with him. “Now, open your mouth.” He instructed her son.

It gave her no choice but to feed them while simultaneously feeding herself. But it was fun to see her son smile from ear to ear as if he was proud that he was eating his food.

But eventually, she had to stop after doing it twice. “Now, the fairy wants you to eat by yourself and try not to make a mess. Can you do that?” She took the bread knife and acted like she was carrying a wand, twirling it around the food.

Her son gladly agreed, believing the story that Zach had concocted. “Uhmm?” He appeared to be thinking as he looked at his plate. Then, he nodded again.

It had been a fun-filled breakfast that she had never imagined she would spend with Zach in it. She had a great breakfast with her son before, but nothing like this.

Then, it was time to clean the kitchen and bathtime for Edison. Zach offered to handle the kitchen while she busied herself with caring for her son. She believed she could manage that since she was feeling so much better.



“You are a good boy,” Ria told her son as he patted him on the head while she rinsed the shampoo on his head. “Tell me, do you like Zach?”

She had to know because Edison was the most important person in her life. His opinion mattered to her in every decision she made. She doubted she could continue with this relationship, even though she was totally into Zach if his son did not like him.

But so far, all evidence indicated that her son adored the man cleaning up in her kitchen. And Zach seemed to like him very much too. At least, that was her observation.

“Zachy is fun,” Edison answered enthusiastically, giggling as he played with the water.

She guessed that was a good enough answer for now. They only saw each other a few times. Many things could still happen as they continued with this relationship. She only hoped it was all good things.

“Do you like him to come over again?” She could not help but wish that her son would say yes.

She believed she liked Edison more than she cared to admit. But it was too early to tell whether she was falling for him or had fallen in love already. She did not want to dwell too much on it and put a label on their relationship.

She was afraid that she might drive him away if she acted rashly. She knew that getting into a relationship was hard enough, but putting a kid in between made it more impossible.

“Hmmm...” He seemed to be thinking of his answer, which only made her more anxious. “I like a toy.” He answered her.

That did not make sense to her since his answer was far from her question. But anyway, her son was still learning how to communicate. Soon, he will understand more things.

“Ok.” She answered him, thinking he would like her to buy her a new toy. “I will bring you to the toy shop next weekend.” She promised him. It was a reward for his best behavior while she was away.

And, of course, it was a way for her to absolve herself from her guilt. She felt she had been away from her son for too long and neglected his needs. Although, she knew it was not her intention in the first place. Still, she felt the need to make it up to him.

“Ok.” He smiled happily at her as she grabbed the towel to dry him. Then, they returned to his bedroom and put on his clothes for the day.

He looked very handsome. Fortunately, he got only a few traces of his father’s features. Mostly, Edison looked more like her. Or, she would be staring at the man she had hated all her life.

“Aren’t you handsome today?” She smiled at him as she finished buttoning up his shirt.

“Zachy... handsome too,” Edison interjected as she combed his hair into place.

“Yes, he is.” She answered. She was not going to deny that and lie to her son. She also found him very handsome.

“I think you are ready.” She said as he pulled her son back to the living room where Zach was already waiting. But he was not alone as she stared at their visitor sitting on the couch.

What was he doing here? She mentally asked in surprise and shock as she stopped on her track while her eyes looked at the man talking with Zach.

On the other hand, her son continued to walk toward Zach and her unexpected visitor.
