I looked at the woman who sat in front of me and looked at her as if she was some type of foreign creature who has yet to be discovered by the world
There was no way! This woman hadn't even resembled me in any way I mean yeah she could have possibly been another child of henry but like she didn't even look like him for that matter now don't get me wrong the woman was gorgeous she was drop-dead gorgeous if she was saying who she really said she was then Henry must have left my mother for a damn supermodel cause again I say she had no type of resemblance to the man so I could only assume this woman was adopted or strongly took after her mother
Strongly!
"Earth to heaven?" She called out to me this time snapping her fingers in my face
I broke out of my trance like a bucket of ice water had just been spilled over my head I quickly realized what the hell was going on and gained composer of myself "I-I'm sorry ma'am I have no idea what you're talking about" I said bringing to make my way back over to the counter
"Your-your heaven Bandari, right?"
Well yeah duh I was thankful it was my mother's last name and not my father's but how she got that information still confused me did Henry tell her anything?
You know what it didn't matter cause I didn't want anything to do with this woman or her family "I'm sorry love, I think you have me mistaken for someone else I'm heaven McCain" yeah I lied but technically it was half the truth If somewhere in the future hunter did decide to take me as his bride I mean he did say he loved me
But as of right now I'm sticking to assumptions
"Oh," the woman said looking down confused "are-are you sure? I was sure tha—"
"It's what it says on my birth certificate" I shrugged looking away from her awkwardly
It amazed me how fluently I was able to lie and so smoothly
"Well this is embarrassing, I'm so sorry for wasting your time miss, I will take a coffee on the go through for all the trouble I've caused you"
I almost felt sorry for the girl and how flustered she looked to think she'd been wrong but I couldn't afford the luxury of easing her worries and coming out clean when I said I wanted nothing to do with the family I truly meant it and This situation made no difference to how I still felt
"I'll be right back with your coffee," I said not bothering to hear if she had anything else to say
I reached the counter and told the cook in the back to prepare a coffee once I was finished with that I continued to tend to my other customers wanting to forget about that random encounter with that woman but I couldn't get her out of my head for the love of god
For some strange reason, I had felt a strong pang of guilt building up in my chest as my day went forward and it only got worse with every passing minute
I shouldn't be feeling guilty, I don't think it's fair for me to feel this way it isn't fair it's not like I did anything wrong she's the one who had her father in her life I didn't
But now that I do think about it after meeting Henry it couldn't have been easy to have a father like him still thinking about our encounter he gave major narcissistic vibes and seemed to be a very critical man which was ironic based on the little choices I know he's made in his life already but even after meeting him I could tell Henry leaving my mother could have probably been the best thing he could have done for us witch I now could probably look at as a blessing in disguise
But what If our blessing in disguises just became another person's burden?
I guess that would be why I felt the way I did now huh,
"Babe? What's wrong? your unusually quiet, usually I'd be the one sitting here listening to you ramble on and on about your day even if it's about you simply just picking up an apple out of a basket you saw on the table" hunter said with a little chuckle on his end of the phone.
We were on face time right now with him laying beside me while I had my phone propped up to face me on a second pillow I set out for him to lay my phone on
Corny? Whatever it was the closest thing I could have at the moment to say he was beside me
"I'm sorry, I guess I've just got a lot on my mind that I've been dealing with today and it's like I want to tell you about it but then again I don't cause I don't know how to approach the conversation with you but I'm still processing my self you know......gosh you must think I sound so stupid right now I'm sorry it's ju—-"
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey heaven baby slow down alright from the way you sound right now I can tell your days already been having you feeling a bit overwhelmed but just because you can't process yourself doesn't mean anybody should make you feel stupid about it that doesn't mean I think your stupid, okay so don't use that word when you're referring to yourself I don't like it also don't apologize to me for something you don't have to feel sorry for if you don't feel like talking about it don't I won't force you to unless you're ready okay?"
This man was literally the sweetest and best thing that could have ever happened to me I swear in the end at times like this I was so glad I was persistent on perusing him and not giving up even when he did his damn near hardest to resist me
Hunter was the literal definition of when you know it's a good thing don't give up on it
At first, I can admit it was pure lust from the start but as I said with a man like hunter I find it hard you could know him as well as you do and not fall in love with him
It'd have to be impossible
"Your right," I said taking up my phone from the pillow and giving hunter an entire view of my cheesing face which I could assume would have caused him to cheese back at me just as hard "you see this right here," I said pointing at my still smiling lips
"Yeah? What about those beautiful lips darling"
I giggled unable to contain it in anymore
"Nobody is ever going to make me smile like this the way that you do nor will they ever bring the same effect out of me the way that you do I can promise you that for the rest of this life hunter Michael McCain, god I fucking love you and when you come back I can't wait to show you exactly how much"
"I love you too baby," hunter said breathing out a low breath and it just felt as if we were just staring into the screens of our phones for what felt like an eternity but I didn't mind one bit at all until I heard a familiar voice in his background
"Who are you on the phone with man? Is that Stacy?"
Dammit heath
"What!? Why would I be on the phone with Stacey?
"I heard you say I love you, if it's not Stacey let me see who it is then cause now I'm really curious"
And that's my cue to go
I quickly hung up the phone before heath could get a view of me and out the obvious two abs two together
Damn I never realized just how nosey heath actually was
Huh I guess like father like son
What do you think is heavens next move?
Was it appropriate for krista to show up the way she did? How ya feelin bout that?
And now we know where Jonathan get his entitlement from huh 😒
But I thought that moment between heaven and hunter was really sweet 😻
