Chapter 23: Chance?
After that meeting, Diego kept on asking me how it is. I didn't tell him that I met Travis.
"I think she agreed about the wedding gowns I showed her. Maybe she'll schedule another meeting," I said, and he nodded.
I went back to my laptop while he was cooking. I wasn't sure if Stacy really knew about that meeting, but since Diego told me that she was the one who emailed him, I didn't have to think much about it.
He went to the living room to check for David while I received a call coming from Via.
"Ma'am, Mr. Adam is asking about you. I told him that you went for a business meeting out of town, but he kept on calling," She said, and I know that Mr Adam will bother him.
"Don't entertain him. What is his problem?! That Man is getting on my nerves!" I rolled my eyes, and I could see Via's expression wince.
"Maam-" she didn't continue talking when someone grabbed the phone in her hand.
It was Mr. Adam.
"Sir-" he cut me off. And he looked mad.
"I heard what you said!" He shouted while his face was too close to the camera. I can even see from here that he's sweating.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Mr. Adam," Via tried to get the phone from Mr. Adam but he didn't let her and kept on saying nonsense words. And he is now angry.
"You don't have the right to talk to her like that! This is my first and last warning. If you ever dare to talk to her I will not hesitate to kill you!" Diego firmly said. He suddenly appeared and was angry when he heard Mr. Adam talking dirty. I saw Mr. Adam's expression and he was scared. He ended the call and I turned to look at Diego.
"You don't have to deal with him. "I told him but he just looked at me seriously.
"I can't bear that man's words towards you. Just tell Via to never let him enter the company." He sounds irritated because of him.
"I will; let's eat. Stop frowning, it doesn't suit you" I laughed when he just rolled his eyes.
"Stop laughing, if I saw that man, he would be a dead meat" he said and walked away to get David in the living room.
I just shook my head. Diego is one of the reasons why some guys are scared of getting near to me. Only those brave ones but they can't take too long because of Diego.
"Mommy, Daddy, Uncle, did you say you were talking earlier to a monkey?" I bit my lower lips to stop myself from laughing.
"He also said that he had big eyes and ugly teeth." I looked at Diego but he just looked away.
"Calling someone that name is bad, okay? It was just one of my clients. Diego is just joking with you." I touch his head and kiss him on his chicks.
"You're always kissing me on my chicks, and you always forget to do the same to Daddy Diego," he said, and I saw Diego smirk.
"Daddy Diego is not a baby like you anymore. He's grown up, " I explained to him while Diego held my son's shoulder, which made him look at him.
"But Daddy Diego said you are his baby" I wanted to hit Diego so hard but he just acted like he didn't hear what my son said.
"Let's just eat, don't listen to him " I whispered the last words to him. I even caught Diego asking what I told him but I glared at him.
We started eating and David kept on asking about different things. And I know Diego taught him about it.
After we were done, I decided to wash the dishes while they were baking cookies, David's favourite.
"Look, Daddy Uncle!" David Excitedly said, pointing at the cookies he made. Diego went closer to him, and they both gave a high-five. "Why don't you put on some hair?" he said, laughing, and looked at me. I glared at him because I knew what he meant.
"Like this? But it looks like a
person's head now" he complained to Diego. But Diego helped him. And whispered something to his ears. They both laughed and looked at me. glared at them while they were pointing at me.
"That's your mom," Diego said laughing. I approached them closer to look at the cookies they had made.
"Diego! "I glared at him and grabbed the ladle that made him run.
"Come back here!" I run after him while David is laughing at us.
"David made it, not me!" He shouted, laughing, and I looked at David. He shook his head, and I ran closer to him, which made him run towards Diego, and they both laughed.
"Both of you!" I pointed the ladle to them and they ran through the living room.
"Faster!" I heard Diego say while David was trying to open the door.
We ended up outside playing. We even forget the cookies they were cooking.
After Diego placed David in our room we went back to the kitchen.
"He's tired, he's already asleep," he said while fixing our mess.
"Thank you," I smiled at him; he faced me and looked straight into my eyes.
"Anything for the both of you Jasmine," he said and held my hand.
I know he admits he already loves me, and I'm happy that he's being a father to my son even though it's not his responsibility.
It's fine for guys like him nowadays.
And I'm so lucky that he never left
me by my side, even when David
was Born. They have a strong bond, and my son treated him as his father.
"I don't know what to do without you by my side." I smiled at him, and I could see how happy he was that he was with us.
He's the man that every woman dreams of. And I hope that I can accept him.
"Please, let me show you how much I love you and David. Give me a chance Jaz. I will prove to you that I deserve you"
