Fallen for my step mom

Uneasy before my son

CRINA POV.

“Thank you so much.” I appreciated the compliment that he had just given me. But along that I was also being appreciative for the fact that he had done the saving of my life for him.

The next few minutes there was nothing that was said between the two of us. Julius opened his mouth several times to say something but at the end of it nothing seemed to come out of his mouth. It was either he did not have the words to say or perhaps he thoughts that the words he had were not good enough to be said out .

“I think I will be going.” He finally said standing up from the spot that he had sat before. Suddenly , I could see that he had become a bit un easy though I had no idea why he was like that . we had actually be speaking freely and then turned out that way .

He did not give me time to say anything more as he wished me a good day and then got out of the room in one swift . I was left so puzzled for sure still contemplating at why he had just left just like that .

As I was still lost in that , my son came in .

“Mom, are you okay ?” he asked me clear concern in his voice . Of course just as it has been all this time, he has always been able to read my mind and came to knew that I had something that was actually disturbing me.

“No son , it is okay . I don’t have anything disturbing me.” I lied to him . But then even if I did not lie to him , what was I going to tell him? I also did not know why Julius went just like that .

“okay mom. You know your health is the best thing that I value .”He said soothingly and then put his hand on my arm- it was actually in a way that is not the usual way . I felt a sensation full of confusion just like that time when he kissed me while I was in my office .

I just wished that nothing like that resurfaces again. I just wished that all that happened between us never happened at all.

“Okay , I think I need to rest a bit .” I lied to him . What I wanted was that he got his hand away from my shoulder as he had began caressing me . I was injured and in pain but I was conscious of the slightest bit.

“Oh , mom . I will help me .” he stood immediately and turned around helping to cover me. The truth was I did not really want to sleep but I was happy that he had lost contact with me. I had actually wanted to do this from the moment he got hold of my hand.

“Let me go and check everything that is proceeding with the doctor. I promise I will not be long .” he informed me and then kissed my forehead before getting out of the room. The moment he got out of the room, I felt relaxed.

It was strange how the presence of my son was making me more awkward with each time that the two of us were close together. What was I going to do with how things were moving . What exactly was going to happen the moment I get discharged from hospital?

Was Ryder going to start over with the romance that he tried to show me or he was actually going to act like nothing ever happened and once again we be like the mother and son like the last nineteen years though he is not my biological son.

I contemplated about so many things that had happened in my life the last couple of years. I wondered what could have happened if my husband did not leave me.

Maybe I could have given birth to kids and the two of us could be very happy .

Ryder could be having siblings . In short our family could have been a big and happy one but all that is in my dreams and I am so sure none of them will ever happen again. I mean, it has been so many years since my husband left and up to this point I have never seen him at all.

I continued to contemplate about all that until I drifted into sleep as well as a genuine smile forming on my face. It had been some time since I got a genuine smile on my face.

Thanks so much for reading my books. I am a bit not okay so the chapters are coming out in bits .
