Sweet Temptation (B×B) [Book 3 of the Tantalizing Love Series]

Chapter 6

"Thank you buddy but it's alright. Why don't you choose something for yourself?" He nodded before putting the packet of hot chocolate back before grabbing two boxes of strawberry biscuits on sale and handling it over to the cashier quickly along with his money.

"Let's go back shall we?" I carried him up while he wrapped his arms around my neck securely. I was walking extra carefully as the ground was filled with snow and extremely slippery.

"What's your name bud?" I asked after a few minutes. His warm breath against my neck felt comforting as it provided me with a little warmth from the cold.

"I'm Caydon. You?" He says openly as he stared at me interested.

"Hi Caydon, I'm Matthew." His eyes flew open as he peered at me with amazement.

"Really?! I'm Matthew too!"

"Oh? I thought you said that you're Caydon?"

"Yeah. I'm Caydon Matthew Valentine. My dad calls me Matt but the rest calls me Caydon."

"Oh! I see. That's a very nice name." He blushed lightly, burying his face into my neck.

"Thank you Matty." He beamed widely as he cupped my cheeks with his little hands after removing his woolen gloves. So warm. "Aren't you cold? You're not wearing a jacket. Daddy says that we must wear a jacket when it's snowing."

"I don't have one Cade. But you're keeping me warm so I don't need one." He furrowed his eyebrows adorably as he thought hard about something.

"I'll ask my daddy to buy you one! I can't keep you warm if you leave me so you'll need a jacket."

"It's alright Cade. Oh, we're here. That's Mrs Day right?" I pointed towards the flustered looking Mrs Day as Caydon nodded eagerly. Putting him down gently, he dashed towards Mrs Day, wrapping his arms around her legs, giving her a scare.

"Oh my goodness! You're back Caydon! Are you hurt? Did any bad guy try to take you away?" She asked concerned as she brushed off the imaginary dust off him.

"I'm okay Mrs Day! Matty brought me back!"

"Thank goodness! I was close to calling your father. Thank you young lad." She thank me profusely as Caydon walked back to me.

"Thank you for bringing me back Matty. This is for you." He handed me one of the boxed biscuits which he bought just now.

"It's alright Cade-"

"Please take it Matty. Pleaseeee?" He gave me the puppy eyes, making me groan in defeat at his adorability. 

"Okay...Thanks Cade." Bending down, I opened my arms to him which he gladly ran into.

"You're welcome. You'll see me next time?" He questions hesitantly as he buried his head into the crook of my neck.

"Yeah, I will." He smiled brightly before walking back to Mrs Day.

"Bye Matty!"

"Bye Cade." He waved wildly before walking into his childcare with Mrs Day by his side.

I wish I can have a son like him one day...That's if if I can ever get to fall in love at the first place...
