He quickly runs over to me, giggling with his arms open.
“Careful Ash,” Mila shout as he nearly trips over the rug.
My heart jumps and I quickly meet him halfway before he manages to trip again.
When he’s in my arms, I hold him close and buried my nose in his hair.
He smells so good.
He smells like coconut.
SILI “I love you bug,” I whispered kissing his hair.
He giggles, throwing his arms around my neck.
He may be the exact replica of his father, but Ash was going to be better than Aiden.
And I was going to make sure of it.
“Woah.
What happened to you? You look like poop?” Mila asked, removing the scrunchie in her hair.
“Bad day.” I sighed heavily while picking up Ash even though he protested.
He was still my baby whether he liked it or not.
Mila winced.
“Didn’t go well?”
I shook my head no.
“Bernard didn’t accept the resignation letter.”
Mila looks confused.
“What? Why? Did you not tell him why you wanted to quit?”
I shook my head, hugging Ash to me.
God, I love my little bug.
“No.
I couldn’t exactly tell him my kid’s father was his boss and I was uncomfortable with working in the same building with him. Besides, it wouldn’t matter, I don’t think he’d accept it anyway.” I sighed, rubbing my palm on Ashton’s back.
“And why the hell not? If you want to quit, then he should let you.
It’s absurd that he’s not accepting the resignation letter.” Mila flung her hands out comically.
I tear my gaze away from her and wince.” It’s not exactly him who’s not accepting the resignation letter.
It’s Aiden.”
Mila’s eyes widen.
“Aiden!? I thought he didn’t remember you?” I gave out a little snort.
“That’s what I thought until I went to his office with the intent of shoving the letter down his throat.”
Mila looked at me in amusement and snorted.
“What?” I asked her.
“Oh nothing.
But shoving a letter down his throat? Where is my best friend that condemns these kinds of things?” She asked in blatant amusement.
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
“Well did you shove it down his throat? Or at least tell him a piece of your mind?” She asked.
I cringe.
“No I didn’t shove it down his throat, but I did try to give him a piece of my mind,” I admitted.
I did try, until Aiden kissed me and everything just flew out of the window.
Mila looks at me fixedly, searching my eyes for answers.
“So, then, what happened when you did?” I rip my gaze from hers and settle them on the white wall.
It looks like it needs a fresh coat of paint.
I can feel the heat of a blush crawling up my neck to settle in my cheeks and knew I must look as bright as a fire truck right now.
“Oh, you didn’t…
did you….” Mila trailed off in confusion before her tone turned into accusation.
“Oh my God! You did!” She blasted loudly.
I wince, covering Ash’s ears at her loud tone.
“Mila, too loud!” I hissed.
She cringed but approaches me and Ash with wide confused and questioning gaze.
“You naughty girl.
You slept with him?” I winced, still covering Ash’s ears.
He didn’t need to hear about his mommy sleeping with his daddy.
“Well?” Mila asked impatiently.
I nodded while wincing.
“Yes.”
Mila looks stunned.
“Well, I knew this would happen eventually but not so soon!” She giggles but when she sees that I hadn’t joined her, her brows furrowed.
“But why aren’t you happy about it? I mean I’m not a fan of Aiden, especially with all the crap he put you through in high school, but now you three can be a family I snorted, my voice sad as I cut her off. “When we were done, he told me I was a mistake.
Also said I was still easy.” Mila’s face switched to anger and hatred.
