My Little Heart 💕 [COMPLETED]

Ming

I left Yo's apartment, blushing irrecovably. I cannot say for sure I wanted to do that, but it came as part of my response instantly.

I was just glad that Yo didn't smack me or something. I went home and went through the motions of showering, getting changed and was just flicking through the channels, unable to sleep though it was already 1am! I didn't have any work so I could afford to stay up but even if I did, I knew I would be unable to sleep that early, giving my mind kept floating back to that kiss.

I finally knocked out around 4am, sleeping on the couch. Around 9am, my phone rang. I woke up grumbling and realized it was Yo.

"Yo?"

"Sorry, did I wake you up? Are you busy?"

"It's.. its fine. What's up? Tell me."

"Nothing much. I got no work today and since Tak goes back to school next week, thought of bringing him out. Wanted to ask if you would like to"

"Yes. Yes and yes. I'm free. I will go shower and change now!"

Yo chuckled heartily on the phone as I interrupted him blatantly. We made plans and an hour later, I found myself outside his door, dressed in a t shirt, jeans and sneakers combo. Yo came out himself, dressed similarly with Tak spotting a twin look. I smiled at both boys and Tak bounded into my arms. I grabbed Tak into a hug and he leaned in to kiss me on my cheeks too! I smiled as I kissed him back. I turned to look at Yo who just smiled and continued locking up the door. We all turned to head towards the car and that's when, both mine and Yo's smiles dropped right off.

Standing in front of us was, "Daddy!! What are you doing here?"

I watched as Pha clocked me carrying Tak. I slowly put him down and Tak ran up to Pha who carried him with that charming smile of his.

"I happened to be on the way to work and thought of dropping in to see Tak. Didn't realise you had plans."

Yo nodded and just filled him in briefly. "Ming, didn't realize you were in town."

"I stay around here P. We are colleagues."

"Colleagues huh? That must be nice. I'm glad you two made up again too."

Though his words didn't seem like it was malicious, I couldn't help but wince feeling like Pha had just come between us just like 7 years ago. I watched as Pha spoke to Tak, cuddled and kissed him. Yo went over to take Tak and I couldn't help but wince briefly seeing the family unit though I knew it was anything but complete. What was I doing there?

Pha went off, not before bidding me goodbye. I nodded and waiied back in respect. Yo turned to me and asked if I was ready. I nodded and we left. I spent my time focusing and just playing with Tak and barely spoke to Yo. Maybe, maybe I shouldn't be so close to Yo. I don't know.

What if Pha wants to come back?

After all, they were both Tak's parents. What was I doing there?

Why did my heart fluster when I saw Pha? And I knew it wasn't directed at him. Rather I was worried that Yo would fall for him again.

I was quiet and on the way back home, Tak was asleep which meant our journey back was quiet. When we got to Yo's place, I tucked Tak in and then I came out, only to see Yo sitting quietly by the island.

"Thank you for inviting me."

"Okays. Are you leaving?"

I looked at Yo. My face changed instantly, knowing exactly what he meant with those words.

"If you are. Don't let me hold you back. Thank you."

"Yo..."

"It's ok. I figured. Since earlier when Pha was here. I could see it. Thanks though for being here for Tak."

I gripped my hands as I walked past him. I cast a glance towards him and he just looked down determinedly though I could see his ears turning red.

I walked about 2 more steps and then I turned to head straight back to Yo and pulled him by his arm. He stood up in surprise, barely holding onto me so that he wouldn't fall, his eyes opening big in surprise.

I grabbed him in a searing kiss that just ended up flushing his entire face, mine included.

"I cannot do this again. Being away from you. Seeing him flustered me. Not because I felt anything for him. I was more worried you would fall for him again. I was wondering what the fuck I was doing there when Tak had his both parents with him. I was worried I was going to lose you again."

I muttered in a fit of frustration, displacement, whatever you labeled these feelings. I just knew that if I didn't express myself clearly this time and picked the petty way out, I would lose Yo forever. And I couldn't. I didn't want to.

"And I don't want to lose you again. Not as Tak's father. My colleague. My friend. Or anyone more special to me than all that I have said. Seeing Pha scared me Yo."

Yo just looked at me stunned. I think he didn't expect me to just have a go like that. I didn't either. Just that, knowing Pha can just walk back into their lives like that just threw me off the curveball a bit.

"Just because he has the chance to walk back into our lives, doesn't mean he can. I made it very clear to Tak that Pha is his daddy but nothing can happen between  us again. Tak.... he loves you alot. He likes you alot. I know he doesn't say it but I know he wants you around in his life. Permanently. And the only reason I have been holding back is because I'm afraid. And I didn't know what would happen again. Most importantly I didn't know how you feel until yesterday and now.."

I looked at Yo who was definitely blushing, no doubt and that must have taken all of his courage to express that to me. I had a thousand things to reply back but all I did was hold onto him tightly sobbing away.

As I felt Yo's arms around me, I sobbed even harder. I didnt know what the future was holding for us but I knew right now, at this moment, I got my Yo back. My best friend. My special person.
