The Plus-size and The Mute

Chapter 11🧡

"Oooo that looks good but yours definitely don't top mine." Eliza laughs.

Zyon laughs with her. Eliza had broken up her ice cream sandwiches to lay at the bottom and layered her Napoleon ice cream on top. After she had whipped cream layer on top with crumbled m&m's with a cherry on top. She had grabbed a few gummy bears to go onto the sides.

They go back into the movie room and say back down.

'I'm sorry but I feel like mine topped better. Also why the gummy bears? Do they not get hard?' Zyon writes.

"They do but I guess I like it that way. Have you not tried them in your ice cream?"

Zyon shakes his head no.

"Wanna try?"

He shrugs.

Eliza grabs her spoon and scoops some of her ice cream. Not thinking about grabbing his spoon in the process instead she puts it up to his lips. Zyon thought it was really good but the gummy bears were hard as a rock.

"Still hard?" Eliza says laughing.

'Yes I don't know how you eat them like that. It's bad enough they're hard already.' He writes.

"Don't do me Zyon. These are good."

"Soooo I was wondering Zyon what are you doing for Christmas?" Michelle asks him as she walks in the room.

Zyon shrugs his shoulders.

"How would you like to spend it with us?"

He nods his head but then remembers he has to be there on Christmas Eve around 12 in the morning they open their gifts. His facial expressions changes after.

"Would your parents mind? If so it's fine sweetie spend time with your family."

'I'll ask them and I'll let you know.' He writes.

"Okay good. Are you spending the night?"

'If you don't mind.'

"You know we don't mind. You're like a son to us, we love you."

'Really?'

"Yes really. We're family now never forget that."

He nods his head. Family? Was just stuck in his head. He was apart of a family now. He was happy. Happiness couldn't even explain it because someone or people rather considered him as family.

He gets up and hugs her. He usually doesn't let people touch him but these people he made exceptions to. He felt they were truly genuine to him and he has never met people like them before.

***********hours later***********

Everyone had left but before the unknown man left he ask his god sister in law did they know anything bout Zyon. They couldn't tell him much because they barely even knew themselves. (About to have a conversation between the God sister and her husband about Zyon)

"Babe I have a question."

"What's up?"

"Why did you ask about that boy Zyon?"

"I feel like I know him from somewhere. Don't you see it he resembles me a bit."

"Are you sure because anybody can look like anybody."

"He also looks like this woman I was messing around with before I met you. The thing is I also see my face in him too."

"Wait so you think you have a kid walking around here and she didn't tell you."

"Yes but I'm not too sure babe so don't think too much into it. After finding out she had a husband I left her ass. I didn't stop to think she was pregnant or anything it's been damn near 18 years since I seen her."

"If he is your son you missed out on so much."

"I know but I'll get to the bottom of it."

"That's good always trust your heart. Michelle told me a lots been going on with him. They're scared anything could happen to him that's why they keep him as close as they can."

"Hold on like abuse?"

"They think so. They seen so many bruises on him, how he jumps when coming into contact with people, and multiple things has had him in the nurses office. He's always starving if it wasn't for them he'd still be unhealthy skinny. They'd make sure he had food at home, and school. I told them I wouldn't say anything but if that's your son and you feel like y'all got some type of connection you deserve to know."

"Ight I'll get to the bottom of it." He says knowing that Zyon was most likely his son. What he couldn't understand why hide Zyon from him. There's a 50/50 chance that Zyon is his or her husbands.

********************

Zyon and Eliza were in her room laying on the bed in the dark.

"Zyon can I be honest with you?" Eliza asks.

Even though they were sitting in the dark she knew he was looking and listening.

"I always wondered what a relationship would be like. I see my parents relationship and my God auntie's and I always wanted love like theirs. Have you ever wondered what a relationship was like?"

Eliza felt him nod his head.

"I- Zyon don't judge me okay. Promise me so I know you'd never judge me." Eliza says and he holds up his pinky. They lock pinkies and kiss their thumbs.

"Okay Okay I'm going to be a hundred percent honest with you but I think I-"
