Cloud Nine

01

The music gets louder and the screams of the drunk women escalates as well. Taking another sip of my drink I continue to dance with the intoxicated girl grinding against me.

"Let's go upstairs!" She yelled over the music as she was now up straight and looking me in the eyes. "Okay!" I responded as I lead her up to my room.

-
I woke up with a massive headache and to the sound of someone ringing my bell. Looking over my shoulder the girl from last night was gone.

Don't I feel cheap.

Throwing my legs over the bed I pulled my body up only to have pain rush to my head. "Bad idea!" I groaned holding my head.

I decided on getting medicine first, but the bell rang again making that process faster than I wanted it to.

Walking down the stairs I opened the door. "What?" I growled with my eyes barely open. Looking around I didn't see anyone but I felt some body pulling on my shorts.

Looking down I saw a little boy about three or four looking up at me. "Where's your mum?" I asked kindly as I kneeled down to his height.

He slowly pointed at the road. "She left you here? What kind of a mother does that to their child." I stood up opening the door a little wider to allow him in.

"Come on I'll help you get in touch with her again." I smiled at the little lad as he walked in with a bag on his back.

"Whoa...." He said as he looked around the place. But shortly after he pulled a face of disgust. Frowning I looked in the direction he was.

"Sorry about that, I forgot to clean up a little bit." I walked quickly to the hall picking up any trash and cups then moving to the lounge and doing the same before throwing them away.

Walking back into the lounge he has already made himself at home. He was cuddled into the sofa watching toons on the television.

"How old are you?" I questioned. He turned my way holding up three fingers. "Um.. What's your name?" I asked.

"Leo." He replied. So he does talk. "My mummy said this is yours." Leo said handing me a note.

A little confused I took the note from his hands.

Dear Louis,

Hey it's Collene I know it's been a while but I'm writing this note because I wanted to bring Leo to you. I know it's unexpected but I really wanted to him to know and bond with his father I hope you will treat him the way he needs to be.

My son?!

He's allergic to peanuts and can't eat candy everyday. Have fun with him please.

Sincerely,
       Collene

On the back of the note was his schedule and her number if I ever needed anything. "Will you be okay for a few minutes Leo?" I asked getting nothing but a nod in response.

Stepping outside I dialled the number on back pressing the phone to my ear and waiting for an answer.

One ring, nothing. Two rings, nothing. Sighing I was ready to hang up until I heard her voice.

"Hello?" Collene answered.

"Hey it's Louis."

"Louis! How's Leo? Are you two having fun-"

"What do you mean he's my son?!" I yelled cutting her off. "Just that." She stated. "It sounds crazy, but it only made sense." She continued.

Being quiet I let her finish. "You were the last person I had sex with Louis."

"You were a one night stand!" I said frustrated. "A one night stand that happened more than once." She sighed.

As much as I hate hearing this she has a point. "Are you sure I was the last one?" I asked a little bit calmer.

"Yes Louis."

"He even looks like you. Can you just put your stubbornness aside for one minute and bond with him. He needs this." Collene said sounding sad.

"Why couldn't you just keep him?" I asked.

"Because he needs his father, just man up Louis. Please."

"I don't know how to raise a kid. I can barely even keep myself in check. What makes you think I can raise a three year old?" I argued.

"You figure that out. It was nice talking to you. Bye Louis." Collene responded sounding rather upset than she did before.

As the phone hung up I stuck it back in my pocket. I walked back into the house and sat beside Leo.

Taking in a deep breath I started a conversation with him, "Do you know who I am?" I question the toddler?

"No." He shook his head never letting his focus leave the toons playing on the screen.

"I'm your dad mate." I smiled placing my hand on his hair rubbing circles with my thumb. "Really!?" He smiled up at me.

Seeing him smile made me feel some weird way but I liked it.
