I never wanted to offend anyone from my previous post, but I needed to get it out. Nevertheless, I am sorry.

Is he daddy?

"Mwumma, where we gowing?" Sam asked, tugging my hand.

"It's a surprise." I was not kidding when I said it, that was a different thing that it was a surprise even for me. It was almost ten and with every passing minute, I was getting more and more anxious. My nerves were all over the place and I was hyperventilating.

Just then, the doorbell rang and I almost dropped the glass of water from my hand. I quickly put it on the counter and rubbed my hands against the thighs nervously, before going towards the door and opening it slowly.

The sight before me was breath taking.

A gasp escaped my mouth and my breathing hitched taking in his sight. For the first time till now, he was actually wearing something other than formal. The blue button down shirt and denims with black shoes made him look younger than usual. Muscles were bulging out of his t-shirt and I could almost see his abs from under the t-shirt. To say that he was looking handsome would be an understatement.

He was looking drop- dead fine.

I averted my gaze away from his face and just hoped that he didn't see me eyeing him. To my luck, he was not, but he was instead eyeing something or rather someone. Someone who was small and was currently holding my finger. Someone who was looking at him with the same curiosity as his.

And that someone was Sam.

"I hope you don't mind me bringing Sam along." I asked, fidgeting with the hem of my t-shirt and that was when his eyes snapped towards me, taking me all in. His eyes raked up and down my body and I shifted from foot to foot. Blush was back on my cheeks along with the butterflies in my tummy.

After few minutes of awkwardness, he finally spoke, "Not at all."

I passed him a small smile and replied, "Thank you."

"Shall we get going then?" He asked and I nodded my head, answering, "Yes."

We walked towards his car and he opened the passenger seat for me and I melted instantly at his sweet gesture. I pulled Sam on my lap once I was sitted and he closed the door right after. Once he was sat in the driver seat, he put the key into ignition and the car roared to life.

The entire ride to wherever we were going was silent. He kept on giving me side glances all these while and I tried to ignore the blush that was forming on my cheeks from his stare as much as I could. I didn't know why his stare or his touch affected me so much, but it just did and there was nothing that I could do to not feel how he was making me feel.

One thing was clear, that I felt something for him or he was making me feel something, either way, I was falling deep, way too deep for my liking. My body almost instantly react to all his touches, his presence, his stare and his voice.

Oh, that voice.

"Mwumma?" Sam asked, gaining both of ours attention.

"Yes, baby?"

"Who is the uncwle?" He asked, pointing towards Mr. Steele as he started coughing.

"Momma work with him, baby." I replied and he curiously stared at him with his big, hazel eyes, while nodding, nevertheless.

Twenty minutes later, we were standing outside a park and a smile instantly came across my face and when I heard a loud squeal from a certain cutie pie, I realised that I was not the only one who was excited.

"I hope you don't mind here. I just thought it's a good place to get your mind off everything."

"I love parks! Thank you." I said, with a wide smile spread across my face. It has been a long time since I had visited a park and I was more than excited to swing.

Don't judge me, I love swings.

"Mwumma, les go!" I laughed at him and nodded my head, as we started walking inside the park.

My eyes roamed around the surrounding and a blissful smile spread on my face when I looked at a family sitting far under a tree, laughing and clapping. Oh, how I wish I had my own family like that too.

I looked down at Sam who was running towards the swing and I instantly started walking towards him, not wanting him to get hurt. There were two swings at this area of the park which were both occupied. A couple was standing near it as their kids swung high up in the air.

Sam was looking intently at the siblings and I instantly felt bad for him. He needed someone by his side to play with him, a brother or a sister, a sibling with whom he could play all day, but all he has got are adults who are so busy with their lives that they cannot spend enough time with him.

He was a really wonderful kid and I was so proud to call him my son. He has never troubled me in a way where I would want to pull my hair out. All he needed were his toys and me, but unfortunately, I couldn't provide him with the latter one enough.

A squeeze on my shoulder brought me out of the trance and I turned my head to find Mr. Steele smiling at me. If his hand on my shoulder was already not enough, he had to go and give me that amazing smile of his and make my heart overwhelmed. Just then, the couple standing across us, spoke up, "Aww, Jeff just look at them. Aren't they adorable?"

Jeff nodded his head, "Ofcourse, the do and you both have a lovely kid too."

"Uh, no—" I started to clear all their misunderstandings when Mr. Steele beat me to it, "Thank you, you both have got a wonderful family as well."

"And humble too, it's so rare to find young couples with manners. It was good meeting you." The woman said, to which Mr. Steele nodded his head and politely smiled at him.

"Dad, Cam is hitting me!" One of their kids complained and Jeff shook his head, giving them both a fatherly stare.

"Cam, stop hitting your brother." He scolded.

"But dad, he called me an idiot!" Cam complained, to which his mom replied that earned him a straight face from Jeff, "He isn't lying, though."

"We shall get going now. Hope to see you soon." Jeff said.

"Definitely." I said, waving at him to which he waved back before walking away with their kids.

"Mwumma?" Sam called, raising his hands.

"Yes baby?"

"Help."

"Ofcourse." I let out a small laugh and hold him up before settling him on the swing and pushing it slightly.

"Mwumma, fast!" He yelled, enthusiastically.

"No fast swinging. Do you want to fall?"

"But, mwumma—"

"No buts, now stop whining."

"Let him swing high, babe." Mr. Steele spoke from behind me. His closeness instantly made me stiff and the hair on my back stood up. His hands were resting on my waist making my heart go crazy. He was being cosy in public, something that he had never done before. Anyone could see us, click a photo and make a perfect headline for tomorrow's newspaper— He was a billionaire for goodness sake!

"Mr. Steele—"

"Aaron." He whispered.

"Aaron, w-we are in public." I spoke, pushing him away slightly.

"Fuck, my name sounds so perfect coming out of your mouth." My cheeks went red instantly and I turned around to push him away, but the closeness between us made my heartbeats faster.

"You are not allowed to call me Mr. Steele anymore, understood?" I nodded my head and bit my lip in nervousness. His eyes turned red and he pulled me closer making me gasp. Just when he was about to smash his lips upon mine, I pushed him hard and pulled away from him.

"What the fu—" I put my hand on his mouth to stop him from cussing.

"There's a kid around here, behave." My eyes went wide when I realised what I had done and I quickly pulled my hand away from his mouth; so quickly like it had been burnt.

"So hot." He whispered ever so slightly that I am sure I had missed it, if I had not been standing so close.

"Mwumma?" His little voice spoke, making both of our attention drawn towards him.

"Let's swing high up in the air, champ!" He said, emphasizing on high while looking at me.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you are not pushing him high! He might fall, get hurt, start crying, no, I don't give you permission to do that." I retorted.

"Nothing is going to happen to him, right champ?" He said, looking at him and he nodded his head rather too excitedly with a wide grin plastered on his face.

"Aaron, please—"

"Trust me, babe. I'll protect him, just like how I will always protect you." There was something hidden behind those words, but I didn't know what. With every passing second, he was making me fall more and more for him and I had to do something to stop it before I end up hurting myself.

"Hold on tight, champ. Here we go." Aaron screamed and I turned away, shutting my eyes, not wanting to see anything. My heart was already beating fast as it was.

More than ten minutes later, they stopped and I took a deep breath of relief. My heart was pounding so fast hearing him scream, I didn't care if it was out of pure joy, he could have fell and that was what which was making me angry.

"Oh, come on, babe, don't be so uptight." Aaron spoke and I looked at him angrily before lashing out on him, "Don't be so uptight?! of course, I am going to be uptight, he is my son we are talking about. He had never swing so high in his life and he is just three for lord's sake! Do you know what would have happen if he would have fell? Of course not, why would you care? It's not like he is your son—" A warm pair of lips effectively shut me up, as he kissed me aggressively. He pulled me closer by fisting my hair and bit my lip as if he was punishing me.

The kiss ended as soon as it started and before I could say or do anything, he whispered angrily, "Don't you ever say that again. If you are mine, then he is mine too." And just like that, he pulled away from me, walking towards Sam and giving him a piggy back ride.

So much for not kissing me without my permission, sigh.

We walked towards a bench and took a seat there, with Sam on my lap. It had been a good few minutes and we were just sitting there doing nothing, when Sam asked something, making both of our eyes go wide,

"Mwumma, is he daddy?"
