Once in the café, everyone’s eyes were on them, on Lennon to be exact, the famous actor and idol, who every girl dream of dating him and becoming his wife, but why is he with a woman and a child? Is it his wife and son? That’s a big scoop!
The family of three didn’t notice the eyes following them, but Maya sure did notice someone taking a picture of them, making her uncomfortable and tightly hold Noah’s hand as she told him to look down. She didn’t tell anything to Lennon, letting him order them their food, waiting to tell him when they sit down, without anyone around.
As soon as the waitress left, who kept glancing at them even after she left, Maya gestured Lennon to come closer and told him about the others looking at them and taking pictures.
“Is one of us famous?” Lennon whispered to her, as Noah was happily looking at his parents, without interrupting them, he enjoyed listening to them and being a part of the family, they never spent time together so he doesn't want to ruin this moment by talking or making them angry. “How would I know? Oh wait, I found a phone earlier.” Maya said, remembering the phone she found when looking for money, she didn’t know if it was supposed to be hers or his, because the lock screen is a generic photo that comes with the phone. “There is a code.” Maya held the phone in her hand, disappointed that it needed a password.
“I know a trick, give it to me.” Lennon said and Maya handed him the phone, without any second thoughts and while he tried to open it, Maya played with Noah.
Maya showed Noah a couple of magic tricks, she learned online and he was really impressed by them, clapping every time with a cute smile, making it hard for Maya not to give him kisses; their fun time was cut short, because the food arrived.
“Lennon, just leave it and eat.” Maya said, glancing at Lennon who still had the phone in his hands and haven’t touched the food at all. He didn’t listen to her at all, so she got back to feeding Noah.
“I got it! I opened it.” Lennon excited voice rang in the crowed café. "Good job!" Maya exclaimed in happiness, but her happiness soon died down, when she heard Lennon's stomach rumble loudly.
“Okay, now put it down and eat. I will look into it.” Maya said and Lennon agreed, since he was pretty hungry. Maya asked Noah if he could eat the rest by himself, after he nodded, she patted his head and took the phone in one hand and ate with the other one, while occasionally giving Noah side glances to make sure, he doesn’t need any help.
The phone contained several phone numbers, but she couldn’t call any of them since she doesn’t know what to say, nothing was useful in the phone, other than it has internet connection, meaning she can google the both of them and see if they are indeed famous. She wrote her name first, hoping that nothing comes out and nothing did, she was so glad because being famous is a burden she doesn’t want to carry.
By googling Lennon’s name, yes, his real name in his last life, if her name stayed the same, of course Lennon will as well, with the last name she found on the file, she got a lot of results, but the big two words were the one that left an impact on her, making her choke and cough loudly.
Lennon handed her a cup of water and asked if she was okay, while Noah got up on the seat and tried to help, by patting her back.
“I am okay, just something got stuck in my throat.” Maya drank the water, her cough getting less aggressive.
“Did I help mama?” Noah asked, hoping he was able to help, even a little bit, wanting to be useful to his mother and get her to like him more, by proving he is totally useless, as she used to say.
“Yes, baby, you made me feel so much better.” Maya kissed his cheek, then told him to get back to eating; as she pulled Lennon by the collar of his shirt, close to her, a bit too close, since their faces were inches away from each other, but that didn’t matter, what mattered is what she found out.
“I would like some personal space.” Lennon said, trying to push his face away from Maya, but she didn’t let him, because she didn’t want Noah to hear them since she is going to say bad words. “Fuck your personal space, this is more important, you are the one who is famous, you are an actor and a singer, do you know what that means?” She whispered to him, glancing a Noah, to make sure he didn't hear her, luckily he wasn't, he was enjoying his food and living in his own world. “I am rich and famous?” Lennon didn’t know what was wrong with being famous, other than getting chased around by random people, like two girls who have been trying to approach them for the past half hour.
“No, it means we are in big trouble because you are supposedly single.” Maya’s life flashed before her eyes, when she read that he has no spouse or children. “And?” Lennon asked, still not getting the problem, everyone has their own secrets that they don’t want to share, what’s so bad about hiding a wife and a son. “You never see the news, do you know when a celebrity is with someone? Shit gets wild. And because you are handsome, most of your fans must be girls so double trouble and we have a child, so triple double.” Maya wanted to kill that Nova thing, right this instance, why couldn’t he tell them these things? Forgetting by that, the files laying on their night stand.
“What do we do now?” Lennon asked, still trying to get some personal space and finally getting it, when Maya noticed how suspicious they looked and the cameras pointed at them. “Run and wait for someone to call you, because you must have a mana.....” Speak of the devil and he will show up, that’s exactly what happened, well not exactly, nobody showed up but someone called, the phone they have rang and the caller id is husband’s manager. They now know the owner of the phon
Lennon got the location to the company, he is working under, from the internet, and as he parked the car, he looked for the entrance when he suddenly heard someone bang on the car’s window, it was a girl, screaming at him for cheating on her, making him realize that news ran faster than electricity, so the news about his wife and son is already out, and made him also think that he had a girlfriend, that he didn’t know about and lied to, while in fact the girl was merely a fan, who felt entitled to Lennon, as if she owned him and he was her boyfriend. As he was about to step out of the car and apologize to her for apparently cheating on her; two men in a black suit walked up to the car, and told the lady to step away before they use force
Lennon theory came out to be true, because as soon as Noah woke up, he sleepily rubbed his eyes and told Maya he was hungry, while requesting a hug, by extending his arms towards her. She picked him up and gave him a kiss, she walked to the kitchen, where she left her phone and purse, that she have been going through for quite a while now, since Noah was asleep. "What did you like to eat?" Maya asked, she already searched the internet for any close by takeout restaurant and their are plenty of them. "Burger!" Noah said with enthusiasm, throwing his hands in the air, his eyes lighting up, remembering how delicious his friends made it sound.
Noah ended up sleeping, after a few minutes of her singing, she kissed his head and carried him, to her and Lennon bedroom, since she didn't know any other rooms and didn't want to bother him by her moving around, as she already bothered him by carrying him. As she walked down the stairs, she saw Lennon struggling at the door, with a million of bags in his hands, so she quickly went to help and criticize his technique of carrying things. "Why not carry them one by one?" "Because there are a lot and I am tired, you try getting screamed at by five old men and angry middle aged woman, then chased around by girls for forty minutes." Lenno
After their emotional moment, Lennon decide to cheer up the mood, by telling his wife and son he bought a board-game, that they can play right now; Noah excitedly jumped on his bed, then got carried away by Lennon on his back, downstairs while Maya followed behind them with equal cheerfulness. Playing together, gave them so much laughter and fun, excluding the few times Lennon and Maya fought, calling each other cheaters when the other wins, while Noah was having the best time of his life. At one point, Maya had enough and got up, acting irritated and fuming with angry, while in reality, she only got up to leave room for Noah to play and for her to make dinner, since it's 8 pm.
Two months and a half later, Maya was making breakfast for Lennon and Noah, while the both of them were sleeping together, in Noah's room; time passed quickly, quicker than Maya thought, these two past months have been fun, Noah is a sweet boy and is really helpful all the time, he makes hard for her to take care of him, but she can notice the difference between that day and today, he smiles more and has a bright auto around him, he also gained a lot of weight, he is no longer like a stick, he is slowly transforming to a cute panda and she full support that, since for her, chubby kids are the best kids. Everything has been normal these past few weeks, if you exclude their morning routine, Lennon occasional odd behaviors and the death threats she has been getting from 'fans', who didn't believ
While on the road, they occasionally stopped to get a snack, thinking that it will have no harm on the mission; not knowing, this mere act of his, will be the cause of proving Maya's innocence and getting her out of the problem, they will create, to drag her down. Maya's luck that day was through the roof, thanks to something or someone called Nova, because Lennon's call went through and the phone was answered, giving him access to find her, but it was too late when he did. The person arranging everything, glanced at his phone, looking at the clock, 'it's time for her to wake.' He thought as he looked at the camera, whe
She did as told, slowly walking through the hallways, noticing the clock pointing at 12 am, she didn't notice three hours passing, but guess it happens when your head is empty and you have no thoughts, whatsoever. "How did you get me out?" Maya whispered to Lennon, as they walked out of the police station. He didn't respond, he only bowed to two people waiting at the door and told her to do the same. "It's nothing, we are glad to help." A woman said with a smile, then walked away with her partner. "Let's go." Lennon held her
