The Mafia Boss has a dirty little secret. BxB

20 - both of you by my side

The next day.

He was right, I did wake up regretting something. But that something wasn't kissing him. No, if anything I wanted to feel his lips again. To feel like I finally found my missing piece. To feel the butterflies I felt when he told me he had feelings for me. To feel his face getting flustered because of me.

No, I regretted not telling him the truth. The things my instinct had screamed at me to tell him. That he wasn't an experiment and I wouldn't regret anything if it was with him.

Sure, I was confused about my feelings and I wanted to figure myself out. But he wasn't an experiment because an experiment is a test to to prove or disprove something. In this case prove if I was gay or if I was confused.

Either way he wasn't an experiment because at the end of the day no matter the outcome, whenever I was gay or just confused. That wouldn't change my feelings for him, nothing would change my feelings for him. That painful truth I had began to accept.

Even if I ended up being straight, I would never bring myself to toss him away. Because if I did I knew I would shatter my heart into millions of pieces.

I sighed and finally sat up in Liam's bed. I glanced over to my side and my face flushed almost admittedly at the sight.

Liam was all cuddled up in Tae's chest, who had an arm wrapped around him. Liam looked so peaceful sleeping next to him. It was safe to say Liam had become attached to Tae. Which is a bad thing in so many ways, one of them being his abandonment issues.

If I would have it my way, I would make sure Tae never left Liam's side. Even if things between us ended up going south, Tae would never leave. I would not let Liam lose another person.

I reached over and began caressing my son's soft hair. My gaze shifted and I looked at Tae. Earlier, he looked so uncomfortable around me. But now, he looked so peaceful and dare I say safe. I couldn't help but feel that yeah, he belonged right here with us.

I noticed a small cut on his lip. Had I done that to him? How many time had I unintentionally hurt him? And how many times did he keep his pain a secret ? I looked at his hair which I had the pleasure of pulling yesterday. I wanted to take my hand and run it through his hair, but Liam stirred. I quickly pulled away.

Liam's stirring caused Tae to open his eyes. Tae sat up and admittedly caught my eye. His cheeks turned red and I noticed Liam opening his eyes. He looked at Tae and then he looked at me. His eyes widened in surprise because he wasn't used to waking up to me in his bed. Sure, I slept with him but I usually woke up early to attend meetings. So I guess you can say, he was used to waking up to an empty bed.

Liam smiled a contagious smile, a smile that I wished to wake up to every morning.

" Morning!" I greeted and he ran towards me. I opened my arms and he threw his little arms around me.

I smiled and ruffled his hair, until his body stilled in my arms. He looked up and stared at me with this weird look in his eyes. He looked at Tae who nodded.

" Papa?" He asked and I hummed in response. He began to clench the hem of his shirt and he looked away from me. I wandered what was worrying him.

" I'll go with you to the restaurant, if you let mom come with us." He looked back at me and I saw the fear in his eyes. My eyebrows furrowed, was he still worried about disappointing me?

I shook my head. Liam didn't like going outside at all. I wouldn't let him force himself to do something he wasn't comfortable with, just to make me happy.

" I wasn't disappointed in you for not coming. I told you, you don't need to come. Your honesty and well being are more important to me. "

" No, but I want to go." He protested.

" Why?"

" It's boring." I couldn't help but laugh. I can imagine being stuck in the same place all the time to suck.

" What changed your mind?" He shyly blushed and looked at Tae. I smiled and followed his gaze.

' Thank you.' I mouthed, causing Tae to brightly smile. My heart fluttered and my cheeks tinted.

" Well, now I have both of you by my side. So i guess there's nothing to be afraid of." Liam stated with a huge grin.

This is a short chapter but I'm hoping Liam's adorableness makes up for it.

We're already on chapter 20, which is like more than halfway of the book. I was originally planning on 30 chapters but now I'm leaning more towards 40 chapter or somewhere in between.

Hope you enjoy the chapter. What do you think will happen in the next chapter ?

Hint : Your guess is probably and more than likely wrong 🙃❣️

Follow me on here I'm  trying to reach 900, I've been stuck on 800 for a long time now.
