"Daddy who's this pretty lady?"

"I'll um...be right back". I tried to think of which way to go looking around. When I looked behind me Sara is already close to us and I stepped off.

"Akeilia". Michael called.

"What's wrong?" I heard Sara asked.

"I don't know. Let me-".

"Its alright I will talk to her".

"No its fine Sara, I'll do it".

"Stay with Jay Jay, he hadn't seen you for a while now". The pain in my chest keeps growing.

* * *

I can't stop myself from feeling upset. I even feel like I wanna cry. He didn't tell me that he got a kid.

When he said he'd met someone he wasn't joking. He lied to me again. He hadn't changed. He hadn't changed one bit!

I was so stupid to think different of him. The kid even resembles him, its no doubt that he's not the father.

I angrily kicked the water in the pool and hit the shoes that was beside me one side. Water usually calms me, but its not working. Hell! How is it suppose to work when I just found out that the man I love already has his heir and is also at the #1 rank of being the f*ck*ng biggest fat liar!

"Hey". I heard behind me.

She sit beside me and I look at her, waiting for her to say what she wants to and get the hell away from me. I don't wanna be rude with her though, she seems nice, so I'm just gonna keep my cool. Michael is the one I'm gonna kill!

"What happened back there?"

"Its nothing. . .I'm fine".

She smile.

"You can speak to me. Don't consider me a stranger". You are a stranger lady.

"I'm a young lady like you, we can talk to each other". I look at her for few seconds almost in tears. I'm fighting them back because I'm tired of crying.

"Its. . .its just that. I didn't know that he has a child. I'm just shocked that's all". Her eyes widen a bit, then back to normal.

"Oh I'm sorry. Maybe its because he's a bit ashamed of the past". She said looking at her lap.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"When Michael was going through some rough times in the past, he went to bed with an innocent girl, both of them were. They had sex without fully understanding the consequences. That little boy is the result. I'm sorry he didn't tell you this". The tears I was fighting back started flowing out.

"So. . .so where is his mother?"

"Uh well. . .I am". I think my heart just burst.

"Please don't tell him that I said anything to you. I don't wanna cause trouble". She said then got up.

"We weren't in love or anything like that. It just...happened. It'll be hard to accept but you'll have to live with it". She said before she left. She have the guts to come talk to me. Did she think that talking to me would've made me feel better? It only made me feel worst.

I began to sob and put my palms over my face crying my eyes out.

I can't believe this.

I can't stay here. I need to leave.

I dried my eyes as much as I could and stand.

Soon I'm at his room door and opened it. My heart leaped when I saw Sara and Jay Jay sitting beside him on the bed.

"Excuse me". Sara said. Michael stand looking at me with con. . .no its pity, not f*ck*ng concern. He doesn't care about my feelings.

I glare at Sara who just sadly looked at me before she left with Jay Jay who also sadly looked up at me.

I walked towards him and look straight in his lying eyes.

SMACK!

I know that Sara told me not to say anything, but I think he deserved that slap.

"Akeilia I'm sorry".

"Sorry for what Michael! Tell me, what the f*ck are you sorry for?"

"Akeilia just listen". I walked off searching for my car- f*ck I came in his car. My head is messed up. Tears streaming down my face.

"Akeilia calm down. Your wound". Yes it hurts like crazy right now, but not like the pain in my chest.

I walked up to him.

He caught my hand when I was about to slap him again. I need to vent this anger on him.

"I want you to avoid me!" His worried expression transferred to seriousness.

"Your not leaving this place. Whatsoever that's on your mind, we're gonna have to discuss it right here and now. You've been avoiding me for five years Akeilia! Five f*ck*ng years because of something we didn't resolve! . . .I'm not gonna spend another five years of my life miserable!"

"What about me Michael! I can't live like this! You keep lying to me! How do you expect me to trust you then!"

"What! You've been hiding something from me and now your accusing me of being a liar!" What?

"What!" I dragged my hand from his.

"I'm serious, avoid. me!" I pointed then start to move towards the door.

"Akeilia wait! You can't leave what about what happened today and its night for god sakes!"

I snapped my head back at him.

"What does it matter to you! You don't give a damn about me!"

"What?" He said and frown.

I turn around tired of his pretence. Tears keep streaming down my face and all I want to do is get rid of this pain in my chest. I hate it!

"Akeilia stop!" I won't. I'm going home. I can't be close to someone who betrayed me more than once. He probably kills me next.

"I care about you damn it! . . .because I LOVE YOU!" My heart leaped and suddenly the velocity of my feet slowed, then stopped.

"I've loved you for so long it hurts. It hurts because we keep fighting".

"We can't continue like this. I need us to work. I know that you haven't heard me say it before, but I love you Akeilia, and I wanna be with you". Oh my god.

"Every time I'm close to you, the speed of my heart elevates. For some reason I can feel you when your close. I feel so connected to you. I've never felt anything like this for any other". I turn around and our eyes met. He's now standing in front of me.

"I didn't made love to you five years back because I respected you and couldn't took advantage of you. The woman you caught me with in my office years ago was sent out because while she was doing what she was, I imagined it to be you but it wasn't, and I couldn't continue. I was stressed out but you wouldn't know it because I didn't talk about it. I helped you with your company because I wanted to and needed you to become something of yourself. I didn't just allow Lenoy to get fire because it would've ruined your reputation, its because I hate him for touching you and every other man that had...". I also remembered when Monique told me he yanked a handcuff off to come find me and I believed because I saw it. He didn't even told me what happened because he probably didn't want me to worry.

"I tried to talk to you so many times but you wouldn't allow me. I've tried many ways to have you, but you wouldn't let me in. I've lost you for too long Akeilia, today I almost lost you to death. . . .I won't lose you again. I can't. Please just talk to me". Tears are streaming down my face like a waterfall, and even more after he admitted his feelings for me.

I see tears in his eyes and I can't bear to see it. He look at me with hope and a tear escaped his eyes. I sob and touched his cheeks.

"I...l-love you too Michael". We simultaneously hug each other.

"Don't leave me again. . .please". He said and sniff.

"I won't. We'll work this out".

Give your thoughts about Michael and Akeilia?

I know that part of you is sad, but don't be.
