Playing Cupid 💘. |COMPLETED✔️|

Chapter Twenty-two

Are we moving fast ,did he say that cause he felt obliged to or he actually wants me and Kayla to stay. How long will it take for him to realize taking care of a child is not as easy as he thinks it is. This means a huge responsibility and change, is he ready for that change.

"Chris ,l -" words can't even form right now cause my mind is clouded

"Kira if it's too much it's okay. I understand." He's back with that card again.

"Chris l would love to move in with you any time. I am just worried cause this will be a change for you and l certainly don't want you to play house with me. Kayla is a child, if you want to be in her life some parts of your may have to change like partying, getting drunk, being there when she needs you, play good cop or bad cop. Are you ready to let all that go. She's a child but she sees things like first thing that's going to click in her mind is are you going to be her daddy cause all her friends talk about how their parents love together. Are you ready to sacrifice, to let go of something's you love, are you ready to face what the world thinks about it you going to be drafted for the NFL soon. Having a girlfriend is okay but having a girlfriend with a baby is a whole different scenario. I don't want to have my hopes high only for them to be trashed back down. Wouldn't want that for Kayla she's still a baby to be undergoing such pain. I have said more than enough, talk to your mom ,friends they will help you see from my point of view. It's not about ability but responsibility when it comes to parenting."

I didn't even realise l was running out of air but l had to let him see what he's going to be facing. It's not as easy as cutting butter with a hot knife as some books, novels and movies portray them to be.

"So what are you saying." He asks after pregnant silence

"That you should think about it. Digest about it. Figure out what's more important and what's worth sacrificing. You are able but are some of your life goals and reality able to is the question."

I walk and place my hands on his cheek before l placed my lips on his, the kiss felt more like a goodbye kiss and my heart started to break slowly to this. It was short lived, the happiness was too short.

God let it not be like this.

The rest of the day was very dull, Kayla pretty much got the hang of the atmosphere cause she wasn't her usual loud self. He dropped us at the apartment ,before l got out of the car he took my hand to give me a long peck and said.

"Bye."

What was this bye for, was it for now or for the rest of the time or this that we having. I didn't want to face his eyes cause l fear l would get the answer l wasn't ready to face yet. The one summer break l thought would be memorable before we move further up in our lives but welllife always has a way of turning things around.

Kayla tried to brighten my day by being my personal entertainer trying to dance and try some stupid dances. This child is just too clever for her age if you ask me. We sealed the day with a repeat of our favourite animations zootopia and sing.

I woke up to Elena's FaceTime call didn't even realise it was close to noon but Kayla was still asleep in my arms, guess she's tired or she just missed the comfort of us sleeping whilst cuddling. Answering Elena's call l told her to hold as l put Kayla in bed, kissed her forehead and left the room.

"Kayla is still asleep. What else has changed her since l left." El asks shocked

"Nothing much missy. How's the weather that side." I ask

"The sun is different l mean the sun in New York hits differently you know. I still have a long way before l come back."

Three weeks ain't that long babes."

"It's like a century with the type of parents l have. Worse more protective brother. I even forgot how those rich people events feel like and now l have to attend them. What did l used to see in them."

I laugh at her remarks,sometimes l forget she comes from a well known name because of how humble and normal she acts and is generally.

"How are you though." Elena asks

I swear she's a psychic sometimes cause she knows the exact time to call when something happens.

"Don't you dare lie to me Kira Angelina Mansons."

"Ooh l am scared now she called me by my full name." I state to lighten the mood.

"I don't know if I am fine. I think l am but a part of me is slowly starting to pull away and die in me."

"What really happened. Cause Jose won't stop pestering me about what the hell happened." Elena says

"The reality of having a girlfriend with a baby and reality of it all. Parenting ain't easy." I plainly state

"It's not as easy as taking a walk in the park and l have watched it from you, never understood what they meant by parenting is hard but l saw it through you. All those decisions you make even when Kayla hates you for the rest of your life she will come to see you did it for her." She reasons.

"I just don't know if he's ready for it all, maybe now it is but what if in the long run. Is he ready to let go cause wouldn't want him to blame me for trapping and robbing him his deserved youth." I explain

"What are you going to do about it."

"I don't know."

"Had you fallen for him." El asks cautiously

"Very deep long back." I felt the stinging of tears threatening to fall as reality of being without him starts to slowly sink. And here again l face rejection and repeat the process of having to learn how to let go of someone, erases them as if they never existed.

Will l be able to do so this time.
