2581 Words
Nikolai Martelli POV I just got home from a business trip... I'm missing Micah... I've been gone for two weeks, the boys been attached to me... He refuses to smile or talk to anyone not even Aurora or Quinn... He talks to Alyssa Aurora and Quinn's daughter... its about 12 p.m when I landed in LA I wonder if the preschool would have an issue with me taking him home early... to be honest I've never fetched my son from school before maybe I should surprise the little guy... "Home sir?" "No George... To Micah's school" He nods, George has been the family driver for years... He normally drives Aurora because we don't trust her driving... I didn't feel like driving so I asked him to fetch me... I had a business meeting in New York so I didn't feel like driving I wanted to relax and spend some time with my son... I love the boy, he is a carbon copy of me, he lives everything I do and hates everything I hate... The boy believes vegetables are a disease... I've also noticed he is afraid you'll shout him if he does anything wrong, he'll also get scared of loud noises, he refuses to sleep in his own room... I've had to cut my late nights short and come home every night to tuck my son in... On Saturday's I take him somewhere anywhere even if its just shopping... he loves it... I've been teaching him little things like cooking, he loves being in the kitchen with me even if its just to wash the vegetables... What I think the cutest thing in the world is, he makes sure Alyssa is okay, he protects her like she's his little sister because she calls him big brother... I love the little girl she reminds me so much of her mother... We pull up at the school and to be honest I have no idea where his class is or who his teacher is... I never have the time to ask him about school and he never speaks about school... So I phone Rory... "Niki!" Aurora always answers the phone that way "Hey I'm at Micah's school I was wondering if you could tell me where's his class, I want to take him out for the day" "That's awfully nice of you... His classroom is right up front, the blue door..." "Thanks sister in law" "Bye Niki, enjoy" "Thanks" She hangs up... I walk to the classroom with blue door, the door was open, the teacher was behind her desk... She was Looking at something behind the desk... I scanned the room for Micah... He was sitting in the front row working on something writing... He doesn't look very happy... I just wish I could know what Bella did to break my little boy down so he could be like a normal 4 year old, who is carefree... Aurora has recommended therapy... I'm starting to consider it... I knock on the door... The teacher looks at me wide eyed that's new... She's a looker that's for sure... But she's got an innocence to her, I can't destroy that... She deserves a guy who wants a relationship and who would come home every night... I can barely be there for my son we obviously has issues I can't give her the commitment she needs... That's if she even wants a guy like me... A girl like her is obviously taken... "Hello how may I help you?" She asks startling me I didn't see her walk up to me... "I'm here to pick up my son" I say trying to stay cool... I haven't felt this way since Isabella "Who is your son?" Seriously its not obvious? The kid looks exactly like me if he wasn't so short he could pass as my twin... "Micah Martelli" "His your son?" No his my clone of course his my son... I just nod, honestly if I said anything right now it would be 100% sarcastic... it's because I'm tired and I've barely slept in two weeks because I had to video call Micah every night just so he could fall asleep and wake up seeing me... "I thought the family that picks him up..." I see, She thinks Q and Rory is his parents, Okay I get that I barely have time for Micah but his my son and no one can take him away from me... "My brother and sister in law?" I ask "Oh..." I follow her line of sight... Micah is Looking at us wide eyed... The boys eyes are filled with excitement... I love that seeing me makes him happy... I can't believe I didn't want to see him two years ago... I was going through a rough time, my brother was in a car accident and nearly died and Isabella told me Micah had cancer and he needed money for the treatments and I gave her the money, refusing to see him... After I gave her the money she disappeared and I found out Micah was never sick... I had missed the opportunity to see my son two years ago because I couldn't deal with having to lose him and I still lost him... Until 6 months ago on Alyssa's birthday, Micah showed up on our door step with a letter from Bella saying he was my son and that I should never look for her and to take care of our son... I've looked for her, I found out she went to New Jersey with a guy and he was a drug addict that made me stop Looking I don't want drugs anywhere near my family I kept the evidence and Also Q has been keeping track of her incase she tries to take him away from me... He wants to be with me... I knew she must done something to him when Micah made me pinky promise him that I'll never leave him... sometimes I wish I could take his pain away... "I can't just hand him over you do understand that right?" She says I nod in understanding because the school thought Aurora was his mother and Quinn was his father... "Can I speak to Micah" I ask needing to speak to my little boy I missed him and thinking about the things Bella must have done to him was getting to me mentally. I call Micah over in Italian... like I said I've been teaching him "Micah vieni papà ti porterà in un posto divertente" [Micah Come Daddy will take you somewhere fun] Micah smiles and starts to pack his bag... And runs to me I hug him... I've never loved someone as much as I love this little guy... "I love you buddy" I whisper in his ear "What did you say to him? You need to teach Micah to speak English" I look at this woman who is called Miss Taylor... What does she mean Micah can't speak English??? "What do you mean? Micah speaks English" I look at her she has frown on her face... Then it clicks... Micah has been using her as entertainment, he wants her to think he doesn't understand English to get out having to answer questions... I actually wanted to laugh... It took everything in me to keep it in... Because its someone I would have done at school if Aurora wasn't in all of classes and she would have snitched on me "Micah have you been making your teacher think you can't speak English?" I ask him Micah lowers his head and nods... I thought so... My son is hanging out too much with actors, Rory and Q are bad influences on my son "Ragazzo sciocco" [Silly boy] I say laughing and shaking my head... I know not to scold Micah to hard he is still afraid of shouting and I'm not going to add to my sons mental issues... "I'm sorry... I've been teaching my son Italian and his been trying to act all Italian not wanting to speak English..." I say hoping she won't shout him "Little boy say sorry to your teacher" I say "Mi dispiace, signorina Taylor" [I'm sorry Miss Taylor] I know his boy wants to continue with his act... But its not happening "English" I say sternly "I'm sorry Miss Taylor" Micah says almost a whisper The teacher walks away "Micah you are here to learn, daddy can't be here everyday for you, to teach you so you have to listen to your teacher okay?" I make my voice as soft as I can not wanting to scare him and also to teach him right from wrong... "Sorry papa... I won't do it again... please don't send me away" That just broke my heart him thinking I'll send him away because of that "ragazzo sciocco" I say "la nonna e il nonno vengono a trovarci" [Grandma and grandpa is coming to visit] "I don't know that one..." He says almost ashamed... Like I'm gonna beat him... I want to strangle Isabella what the hell has she done to my son "Grandma and grandpa is coming to visit... Don't worry its okay... You don't have to be sad... Look at Rory and Alyssa can't speak Italian and its okay..." Micah smiles and nods... A woman walks in... "Nick..." She says as she walked in I look up and see Natalia Isabella's old roommate "Natalie..." I nod "What's wrong Miss Taylor?" Natalia asks her "This man says his Macah's father but I can't release Micah without proof" Natalia nods and looks at Micah and I "You have a son?" She asks "Yes... Natalie meet Micah Martelli, Isabella and my son" "She still around?" I look at The teacher and Natalia gets the message and nods... I saw the teacher was distracted with her own thoughts "Natalia I need you to add Isabella to the blacklist I don't want her near Micah please, she's gotten mixed up in drugs and I'm scared what she'll do to my son..." She Nods... "Thank you" "So you can leave with him... take care of yourself and your son Nick" I nod. "Miss Taylor" She says The teacher seems out of it... No wonder it was so easy for a 4 year old to fool her she's out of it... "Miss Taylor..." "Miss Taylor it's okay for Mr Martelli to take Micah his the father" She nods... "Bye Miss Taylor" I say with my signature wink She blushes aww ain't she the cutest fairy I've ever seen... Micah and I went to a park near our house and we were playing on the swings, and had races he was laughing and running around... The boy was precious. "Papa" I was sitting on a bench out of breath he was still running around... I looked and he had a kitten in his hands... I walk up to him and bend so I could meet him at his height or at least close to it.. "Papa hold it" he hands me the kitten... "It's a pretty gattina..." I say... [Female Kitten] "No Gattino" Micah says shaking his head... [Male kitten] I look it was a Gattino [Male Kitten]... not Gattina[Female kitten] I nod... "Come let's leave the kitten here we have to head home... Alyssa must miss you..." Micah looked disappointed but nod... "papà prometto di proteggere Alyssa" [Daddy I promise to protect Alyssa] Micah says seriously Micah is an Angel... I love this boy not because he was named after my dead brother but because he is a part of me, but he is a strong boy his strong for his age and he has been through so much and his only four, Micah is never disrespectful, he'll do what ever you ask him to no matter what his busy with he never throws a tantrum, the only thing is Micah gets night terrors and is afraid of the dark so he has to sleep with the light on... We found out the hard way on the first night so I've been adjusting to sleeping with the light on... I don't mind because his my son and I'll do anything for him... I pick up Micah and we walk home... On the way home... Micah fell asleep... I had to knock because I couldn't reach my keys because Micah was laying on the side where my keys were... Aurora opened... I mouthed a thank you... Because Alyssa was asleep in her arms as well... I went up to my room to put Micah down... Once my son was in bed I took a shower... I was sweaty and I wasn't feeling it... It was starting to get dark so I put the light on... And got dressed... I put a white T-shirt and a dark blue jean I just ran my fingers through my hair... I gave my son a kiss... I wouldn't be home late... I won't be sleeping with a girl either... I'm just going to the club for drinks with a couple of friends for a few hours... hopefully Micah sleeps till I get back... But he has an Ipad if he does wake up he knows to call me and I'll come home... I went out I walked into Q... he just got home "Heading out?" He asked I nodded... "I'll be back in a few hours...Micah is sleeping" He nods... My brother knows I am not the same guy I was 6 months ago... Yes i still sleep around but I keep it out of the media I need to be a good influence on my son... I get into George's car he'll be driving me and fetching me, since I'll be drinking... When I get to the club I walk to the bar... And I notice a familiar brunet... "Miss Taylor" I say in her ear so she could hear me... The music was kinda loud down here She just nods and looks at her drink... "This is the last place I would ever think you would be" I say trying to make conversation She still wasn't paying attention to me... I would normally get annoyed if a did this but I found it cute how she was struggling to ignore... "Fata" [Fairy] Ahh finally she looks at me "What does that mean?" She asks... "It means fairy" I say "Come with me" I say half asking half an order "To where? I promise if you try anything I'll castrate you" That made me laugh it reminded of a kitty "Such a feisty Gattina aren't you?" She glares at me "We'll just go up to the VIP area you'll be fine, I promise not to try anything" I lead her to the VIP After ordering my drink... Martin walks up to us eye-f*****g Miss Taylor... And I feel possessive over her I pull her to me and put my arm around her shoulders... "Nikolai, Ah who's the beautiful lady with you?" Martin asks "Questa è Madison, la mia ragazza" [This is Madison my girlfriend] And he stood there wide eyed...He knew I saw him eyeing her... And it pissed me off, his freaking lucky I didn't knock him out... I went to sit on the sofa with Madison. "What did you tell him?" She whispers in my ear... Her warm breath on my ear was a damn turn on and she doesn't even know it... Damn woman... This going to be a long night...
