MasukZANDER CALIX'S POV š
–
After Harrison and Nathalie left, I waited for five minutes before calling the contact number of one of my cousins, Izaiah Ezekiel Watson.
[“Calix?”] he asked, questioningly on the other line.
“It’s me, Ezekiel.” I confirmed. “I didn’t know you had my personal contact number.”
NATHALIEāS POV š-After Tyler and I finished exchanging our usual text messages, I replied to Averyās messages.'Sorry Ave, if I only texted this morning. Xander and I are fine, donāt worry. Iām also sorry if you postponed your return in Florida because of me. I think I can meet you tomorrow.'She replied, 'You donāt have to apologize. At least I have a reason to stay longer in this president suite. HAHAHAHA. My flight to Barcelona is in four days, so I still have plenty of time.'I replied, 'Thanks, Ave.' then I put my phone down on the bed-side.I sprayed alcohol on my hand first then gently woke Xander up.āMy little one, wake up. Itās breakfast time.āI gently patted his arm.āMy little one, itās time for us to eat.āāMommy?āāItās me, My litte one.āHe opened his eyes. He was still blinking and then rubbed his eyes.āOops, my little one,ā I gently hold both of his wrists. āYou canāt do that.ā I said, but I wasnāt sure.Iām not sure if he can wipe his eyes without having washed
NATHALIE’S POV š-Right as I walked back into the living area, Harrison had sat there, toweling his wet hair.“This is more tiring than I expected.”Besides the kitchen, he cleaned the entire living room, except where Calix slept.After that, he took a shower and used Calix’s clothes.“Here, I prepared something for you.” I put down the chicken sandwich and orange juice. “Sorry this is all I can offer for you.” then sat down.He took the chicken sandwich and his eyes widened at the first bite.“Why? Is the filling spoiled?”Harrison shook his head then drank and swallowed, “It just surprised me how identical this filling is to Auntie Margaret’s. You got exactly the taste of her special recipe.”“Actually, it took me a while to get the same taste as that spread…” and then I told him h
NATHALIE’S POV š–As I opened the front door, Harrison fixed his gaze on my face, my cheek.“F*cking b*llsh*t! Why is your face that flushed, and what’s this damn wound on your way lips?” His eyes dropped for a moment before he demanded furiously once more. “How come your neck is so red, as if…! Was it Calix who hurt you like this? Where is that son of a bitch? I’m going to f*cking k*ll him!”“Harrison, take it easy with what you say. Someone might hear you,” I reminded him.“I’m going to show them exactly what I’ll do to that damn bastard! Where is that fvcking jerk?!”I didn’t argue anymore and my earthly body was tired.“Come in first.” I said then he entered. &l
NATHALIE’S POV š–Fear took hold of me so completely I stayed rooted in place.He snatched up the chair he’d just tossed down and bashed it against the fridge.“Calix!” I cried out, torn between alarm and dread.I ran for the kitchen, but the moment I reached the door and gripped the handle, I stood rooted to the spot once more.Calix kicked the ruined chair away and grabbed a new one.I’ve seen him like this before... but this is the first time I’ve seen it personally.Shoving aside my uneasy feelings and fear, I went inside the kitchen.“Calix!”Slamming the chair made me leap with fright and surprise.He dropped the broken chair and turned toward me.
NATHALIEāS POV šāāMommy, is Uncle not going to sleep with us?āāHe will, little one. Maybe heāll come here later.āāWhy later, Mommy? Mommy⦠is Uncle mad at me? āCause I didnāt say yes to him to sleep in the middle?āāNo, little one. Your Uncle Zander isnāt mad at you.āāMommy, he didnāt play with me earlier, and he didnāt eat with us either. I think heās mad at me.āāNo, my little oner. The reason isā¦ā I pondered a kind explanation my child could understand.āYour Uncle Zander is having diarrhea. He doesnāt want you to smell his fart.āMy son giggled with laughter. āHis fart must be stinky.āāYes, little one. Uncle Zander doesnāt want you to smell his fart.āMy son giggled again.āClose your eyes now, little one, sleep well⦠so youāll grow tall before you know it.āāYes, mommy. Good night.āāGood night, my little one.āāMommy, I canāt say good night to Uncle.āāIāll tell him you said good night to him.āāThank you, mommy! I love you.āāI love you too, my little one.āThen my son hu
NATHALIE’S POV š–“What did you just call me? Did you finally get all your memories back?” I asked, barely breathing.He grinned and explained to me how he found out about Brianna’s name.He’s gone to great lengths to hide Brianna; even his cousin hasn’t the slightest notion of anything.“He hasn’t investigats my parents or Veronica yet, because I don’t want them to suspect that I’m looking for answers about what happened between us back then,” he continued. “Harrison and Wallace? I left them out of this. They don’t even have anything to say about me to begin with. They’re furious at me for reasons I don’t understand.”I understand what Harrison and Mr. Wallace are going through.I also don’t blame them for being mad at Calix. Yet they didn’t allow it to damage their friendship.
