Is he mine
Ian's pov:
I start walking to my home but stopped to see the little boy playing football on the same ground where I used to play. This is the same ground where I first time encountered my girl.
There are two well-suited men, looking at their clothes and activeness anyone can say that they are his bodyguards.
I moved toward the sitting area and made myself comfortable on the stair chair.
The little boy has an encaustic smile on his face and looks like he is obsessed with football because the heavy rain isn't affecting the little boy at all.
Suddenly, one of the guards picked up the baby boy in his arms and started taking him to the car.
The little boy crying and screaming, telling his guards that he wants to play more but the Guards aren't listening to him.
I didn't stop the guards, because the weather is too bad and if the little boy keeps playing in the bad weather he might fall sick.
I got up and start walking once again to my home... God knows what I'll do all alone at home...?
After 15 minutes:
I reached home but was stunned to see the same car in front of the house in which the guards had taken the little boy with them.
I stepped into the home and witnessed pillows, show pieces, a remote, and other things shattered on the floor.
"What the hell...?" I said and move to my room because there were loads of noise coming out of my room.
I stepped into my room and notice the same little boy lying half naked on the bed under my quilt.
"What the hell are you doing here...?" I almost yelled at the little boy and the poor boy got scared to see me...
Wait! What? Scared? I instantly touched my face and realized that I am still wearing the mask over my face.
I was about to remove the mask from my face but suddenly the little boy started screaming, staring at me.
Suddenly two guards stepped into my room and started staring at me from top to bottom, one guard pulled out his gun and I instantly raised my hands in the air in a surrendering manner, before I explain that this is my house the other guy hit me on my face so hard.
"f**k!" I cursed and fell to the bed.
The little boy instantly got up from the bed and jumped down, Before the bulky guy hits me again and make my fine minced, I instantly removed my mask from my face and look at both the guards with anger.
"This is my f*****g home, ( I hit the mattress with my palm) and this bed belongs to me..." Seeing my face both the guards got stunned and the little boy, well he is staring at me with wide-open eyes and mouth as if he had seen an angel in front of my eyes.
I don't know why but seeing the Little boy's smile, my heart started beating so fast and my mind started feeling some old connection with him.
Soon I laughed at my thoughts, I can't have any old connection with this little boy because he is too tiny and I haven't shown my face in this town for the past six years.
"Ian... The Ian! The football king! " the little guy screamed in enthusiasm, he slowly and carefully moved toward me and was about to touch me with his finger but he stopped and raised his head to look into my eyes.
"Can... Can I touch you...?" He asked,
I don't know why but my cold heart melted to hear his innocent question. I instantly bend down and picked him up in my arms.
A loud shocking gasp escape from that little guy's mouth but he instantly put his palm on his mouth,
Seeing his action I frowned,
"You are real?" the little guy asked and I only nodded his head, then that little guy touched my eye but a painful moan escape out of my mouth.
"sorry! sorry! sorry!" he said so innocently, hearing his words all my pain vanished into thin air.
the little guy once again put his mouth on his mouth, " why did you put your palm on your mouth...?" I asked because he is putting his palm over his mouth in my style.
"I don't want to stink near you, I just ate a garlic chicken sandwich..." Hearing his words, memory flesh In my mind.
Flashback:
Vinni was sitting so close to me, no matter how hard I try to remove my gaze from her but it was next to impossible for me to ignore her.
"If you are done staring at me can we go for lunch...?" She asked, and I got stunned, Well, I wasn't expecting this from her.
Damn! It means she was all the time aware that I have been staring at her like a lunatic.
I regained my composure and look into her eyes with confidence...
"I only have my lunch with my childhood friends..." Hearing my words, she made a sad face.
Fuck you! You i***t, she, herself was offering you to have food with her, and if you refused.
I was about to hold her hand but she stopped and twirled to look at me with her beautiful eyes, Damn! Her innocent eyes... I am feeling a thousand-watt current dancing in my body.
"If I befriend your friends then would you like to have lunch with me...?" She asked directly, there was no uneasiness, uncomfortable, or awkwardness on her face.
"You have to be friends with me before you can be friends with them..." I told her,
Hearing my words, she started playing with her fingers, I don't know why but I grabbed her palms and she once again started looking at me...
God! What should I say to her now? If she complains to Peter he'll kill me for grabbing his sister's hand.
"Don't play with your fingers it's irritating..." I made excuse and putting a huge stone on my chest left her hand
"I... I thought we are already friends... Peter said you are his best friend and if you are Peter's friend it means you are my friend too..." Hearing her words, my heart starts bouncing in my chest in pure joy...
"Oh really?" I asked and she innocently nodded her head,
"But you have to do me a favor to be friends with me..." I said,
"What favor...?" She asked,
"I lost my cat, so after school, you have to help me to find my cat..." I said pulling my hand out and she instantly shook her hand with me.
"I'll help you, I promise...!" She said,
"There are few more conditions...?" I added, and once again her beautiful smile vanish from her face.
"You have to seat with me every day
( she showed me thumbs up)
You have to company me in my football matches and practice games too!
( once again she showed thumbs up to me with a smile)
You have to share everything with me like your food, homework, cycle, etc, etc... ( she nodded again in agreement)
And you have to listen to all my words, " she once again nodded her head.
I pulled her for a hug and she also wrapped her arms around me with a smile,
I grabbed her palm and she started staring at my grip on her palm, then she looked into my eyes, " We are friends right..." She nodded,
"So friends hold each other's hand..." I said and dragged her to the canteen area.
Everyone was staring at me and Vinni, and why won't they, after all in a day she has become so popular in our school?
Damn! Her skin is feeling so soft and her palm fitted perfectly in my palm as if it was made only for me.
All my friends got so happy to see Vinni with me, they all were aware of her and Peter also informed all of us to treat her well because she is so precious to him.
Vinni was already aware of all my friends because a few days back we all went to drop Vinni at her home.
Vinni said hello to everyone and in just 10 minutes, she dissolved with us as salt dissolves in water.
We all started eating our lunch, Vinni was sitting close to me so I instantly put my palm on my lips.
Seeing my action, Vinni started staring at me, " What happened...?" She asked but hearing her question everyone started staring at me and soon they all started making teasing sounds.
Of course, they all understand that I like Vinni,
Vinni looked at my friends then she stare at me with a questioning gaze.
"My mouth is stinking and I don't want to smell faul near you..." Hearing my words, she blushes and started staring at her lap.
Flashback end:
She was in love with me, even since the moment she had seen me...
"Nick..." Charlie called, hearing Dad's words, the little boy instantly twirled hugging my neck tightly, " Grandpa Charlie..." He screamed in pure joy and enthusiasm.
I also twirled to look at my father, who is looking a little stunned but didn't say anything to me and turned all his attention to little boy Nick,
"Grandpa see how is at your home... Ian (he was making cute shocking faces) the footballer Ian..." The Little Boy yelled,
Dad didn't say anything but he smiled looking at Nick in the same way how he used to see me.
"Don't you want to come to your Grandpa..." Nick made a sad face as if he don't want to leave me but seeing his eyes I can say that he loves Dad so much.
"Can you please, put me down...." The little boy said, after kissing him I put him down, and little Nick instantly run toward Dad,
Without saying anything to me Dad walked out with Nick,
Strange** I said and moved to the washroom to clean myself,
After five minutes when I walked into the living room, I found Dad feeding little Theo chicken tacos with My favorite burger which nick was enjoying too much, playing with my childhood football PlayStation game...
"Woo, so this is the guy who is using all my things, my tree house, and my games too, " I said to Dad and he once again made a tensed face.
What the hell? What's wrong with Dad? Why he is behaving so Damn? Strange,
I twirled to the kitchen counter and witnessed a burger, then I noticed Nick's bodyguards who are also looking so worried.
I picked the burger and stuffed my mouth with it, then I moved to my Dad and sat in front of him. The little boy was looking at me with a curious gaze and a happy gaze.
"So, because of this little guy you never missed me!" I said to Dad in a little hurt tone
Dad removed his gaze from Nick and looked into my eyes, there was a pain in his eyes, so much pain that I stopped eating and started feeling bad.
The atmosphere got tensed, I tried to say sorry to Dad but unfortunately, no words came out of my mouth,
Fuck! I should think before saying such things to Dad, I have hurt him and I can see that through his eyes.
It was me who left him and now I am behaving like he is at fault.
"Grandpa do you know Mr. Ian...?!" The curious little boy asked Dad, but Dad kept his mouth shut, and once again tried to feed him tacos but little Nick pushed his hand.
"Let's click the pictures with him, I'll show them to my Dad, Mom, and my school friends, they all will be shocked and happy to know that I have met Mr. Ian the footballer..." Little Nick excitedly told my father but my father was too silent.
Little Nick got up from Dad's lap and moved to me, " Can I click some pictures with you..." He asked politely,
Damn! The little boy is too cute and his tone is so soft like a melodious lullaby.
I instantly picked the little boy in my arms and kissed his cheeks, I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and clicked so many pictures with him, I kissed his cheeks and tickled him to hear his soothing giggling sound.
The little guy is such a bubbly and lively person, playing with him I am feeling like I am playing with myself.
"What's wrong with you Dad? Why are you looking so tensed?" Hearing my words, a loud astounded gasp escape out of little Nick's mouth and he started looking at me and Dad with wide-open eyes and mouth.
"Dad! " little Nick said, then looked into my eyes, " My grandpa is your Dad...?" He asked, with a cute startled expression, seeing his reactions I pulled his cheeks and nodded my head with a smile.
"You never told me Mr. Ian is your son Grandpa...?" The little guy asked, but Dad has no reply,
I raised my brow at Dad but he is looking so lost, I was about to open my mouth and ask him what is wrong with me, but suddenly I heard the melodious sound of my love.
"Nick..." I instantly moved to the main door and witnessed Vinni standing there with horrified expressions,
Horrified expressions? But why she is horrified? What's wrong with her...
"Mom! " hearing the word Mom from Nick's mouth, the ground slipped under my feet, and my entire body got rigid, I felt as if someone has leave me in the Atlantic Ocean without clothes, and my eyes opened wide and my heart almost stopped beating.
I turn my gaze from Vinni and started staring at the little boy who is staring at Vinni with a giant smile.
"How...? H..." I was trying hard to speak but no words came out of my mouth, I felt as if something stuck into my throat,
"Nick come to Muma baby..." Vinni said to little Nick, opening her arms but the little Guy wrapped his arm around me, I also protectively wrapped my arms around him.
"Why do you take him here?" Vinni yelled at the guards,
"Sorry, Ma'am..." The guard said,
"Vinni Relax...!" Dad said to her, but looking at her restless face she won't get relax easily.
She closed her eyes and took deep breaths,
"Ian isn't going anywhere Nick, come to grandpa, I'll take you out..." dad said,
Little Nick raised his head from my neck and twirled to look at Dad in my arms.
"Can't I stay longer with him, you know I am his huge fan...!" The little guy said, with innocent pleading expressions.
Dad and Vinni were about to say no but I cut them off, " Of course, you can, " I said, kissing Nick's soft cheeks.
Seeing my affection toward little Nick, Vinni is getting restless, I once again remove my gaze from him and look at the baby, who is biting his finger and looking at me with dreamy expressions.
"What's your full name, little boy...?" I asked,
"You can't ask such questions to my son...?" Vinni yelled at me then looked at little Nick,
"And you come to me, or else next time I'll not let you step out of your room..." She yelled at the little kid, the little boy got scared and tightened his fist on my body.
"He is a kid..." I said to her in a stern tone,
"Give my baby back to me..." She said, looking into my eyes with deadly expressions, but I ignored her and turned my gaze back on little Nick.
"Hy little boy you haven't told me your name!" I said,
The little boy started biting his finger with a shy expression, seeing his cute actions my heart started throbbing in my chest,
"Nicholas..."
I looked at Vinni but she was looking very uneasy.
"Is he mine?" I asked
But instead of giving me a reply, she glared at me,
Outraged! Offended! Stunned! Mad! Happy!
I slowly and carefully made the baby stand on his feet, his mother,
She moved to Nick and picked him up in her arms...
I can feel her stare at me but right now I am not in my sense, I sat on the couch like a dead body and put my palm on my face.
"I am leaving Dad! " she said and moved to the exit door but I have no guts to look at her,
Once she left with little Nick and her guards, Dad closed the door and moved to the kitchen to prepare coffee
Nicolas! We had planned to name our baby Nicolas because it was my brother's name who had died after his birth.
I pulled my, own hair in anger and frustration then rubbed my palm over my face to calm myself. I tilted my head and look at my Dad who just put coffee for me on the table.
"He is my son!
He is my baby! I am a father ( I wiped the sweat that formed on my lower and upper lips and then licked my lips) he is my blood..." I mumbled, looking at Dad but he didn't say anything.
Dad's behavior made me extremely angry, " How could you do this to me Dad?
I am a father and you didn't inform me about my son?
For the last six years, for last six f*****g years you are keeping this truth from me,
( Dad is still silently so in anger I throw the coffee mug on the floor)
Were you taking revenge on me..." Hearing my last night, Dad looked into my eyes,
"So you were taking revenge from me by keeping the truth of my son from me because I left you without telling you anything..." I said but instead of a reply, I felt a hard sting on my cheek
I put my palm on my cheek, my cheek is throbbing in pain,
Dad grabbed my collar and pulled me close to him, I can feel his harsh breath on my face, he is looking in rage, and looking at me as if he'll swallow me alive. I have never seen so much anger in his eyes before, the heat of anger radiating from his body.
