Chapter 34 Random Conversations
Mariko's POV
I was blown away by Maddie. I haven't had that incredible s^x in a long time. I want more of her, she drives me crazy. As I wanted to leave the bedroom to clean myself in the bathroom, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Daddy!" Bella called out from the other side of the door.
"Sh^t!" I muttered under my breath. I turned around and looked at Maddie. Her eyes were huge and she quickly stood up from the bed as I went over to her where my boxer brief and t-shirt were. We both got dressed in a hurry as Bella continued to knock frantically on my bedroom door. "I must've woken her up," I said, as we were both dressed now, and I walked towards the door.
I opened it and I was met with sad blue eyes. I crouched, "I heard daddy scream and I thought you got hurt," she said.
I held my laugh back. "I'm okay, Maddie and I were just playing around."
"Okay," she said.
"Let's go back to your bedroom," I stood up and I took her little hand in mine and I walked into her bedroom. I let go of her hand and she got into bed. "Are you okay now?" I asked as I tucked her in.
"Yes, daddy. You sounded like you really got hurt. I don't want to see you hurt or lose you," she replied.
I smiled, she was very smart. "I won't go anywhere and I didn't get hurt." I reassured her.
"I love you, daddy"
"I love you more than anything," I said as I leaned over her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Dream sweet," I said as I stood up straight and then I gave Mr. Fluffy for her to keep. I walked out of her bedroom and back into mine where Maddie was. "I'm sorry about that."
"Its okay, its bound to happen when you are not quiet," she chuckled softly.
I grinned, "I couldn't help it. You bring that out of me. It was very good," I said as I took my t-shirt off and I gave it to her, "You would want to sleep in something comfortable." I said, as she looked confused.
She took it from me, "Thank you," she smiled.
She got undressed. "Are you hungry?" I asked.
Shrugging, she replied, "I guess so," she smiled.
"I will heat up some left over dinner," I said, and then I left the bedroom.
After I set the plates on the kitchen table, Maddie joined me. I watched her as she took a seat. She is the most beautiful woman in my life. My erection strained against my boxer brief and I looked away from her and continued to dish dinner on our plates. I might just have to go for round two tonight if she wants to.
"How is Bella?" she asked.
"She is fine, she was only worried about me. She is my little girl, so she tends to care more about me than her mom. I have always been the parent that was around more often besides work. I would tend to her needs and I did the same for Bradley too, but I don't know...he really is not the kid that I had raised. My parents raised me well and I always wanted to do the same for mine, but I don't know where I went wrong with that. I guess Amber was the one who hurt him emotionally when he was growing up. I tried to be positive with him." I sat down beside her on the barstool. "We would have arguments. That is when Bradley would hear everything that she would say, especially about Bradley being conceived, she didn't want him. She wanted to be free, and I guess that was my mistake in marrying someone like her. I never thought that we would end up here. Now, my kid is turning out to be a piece of sh^t, which disappoints me." I said, looking down at my dinner in front of me.
"If this helps, you are a great father, and if we wanted to have kids, which won't happen, I know that you are capable of love, care and everything that a parent does for their kids. I look at you and all you have is love for them. I have no doubt that even if Bradley is a piece of sh^t, you still love him, you won't turn him away from your love. You are there to guide even if they don't want to take that guidance or advice, as long as you remain the same person that you are inside," I looked at her. My heart swelled with the words that she had spoken.
"I love you," I replied.
She smiled, "I love you too."
Maddie's POV
Mariko and I finished dinner and then we went to the bedroom. I was exhausted after that love-making, and I don't think that I would have strength for another round. I do feel bad about what he is going through with Bradley. I know that it breaks his heart that his son is that way. Perhaps I could try to talk some sense into Bradley, if that will help. Maybe he would listen to me. But here is the problem, he is friends with my ex.
I got into bed and then Mariko climbed in after me. I was lying on my back and he was on his side with one arm resting over my flat belly. "Have you thought about moving in?" he asked.
The room was dark besides the moonlight that was shining through the window. I placed my hand on his. "I am still thinking about it. It's just...I have things that I want to see to before officially taking that step. My mother left for New York because my father was released from prison and...he isn't a good man because of the things that he has done, so I need to make sure that my mother is okay and maybe I can meet my father and get to know him as a person. I don't know when that will be but...I think that I need to see him in order to make the right decision about having him in my life or not. If he had changed or not. I don't know him at all besides what he had done in the past. I don't know if he even wants to see me," I said.
"Well, I hope that, after that, you can make your official decision. I don't want to wait too long, especially to marry you," he said softly.
"Maybe we can get married in a year because, right now, there are many things that are going on. My studies, work, my mother and my father and who knows what else" I sighed.
"Everything will work out and regarding your father...I will be here for you when you need me. If you go and see your dad, then I will go with you and stand outside the door to give you both privacy if that is what you want. I won't let anything happen to you. When dating me, we are a team. I don't want to live without my better half, which is you."
"You are really a great man and a great father. I wish that I had that with mine," I let out a breath.
"Maybe you will. That is if he had changed."
"Yeah, on a different topic. I still needed to give the dress to Bella but it is still in Miranda's office, and I came here not knowing that I would be sleeping over. I also have a little tiara for her." I smiled.
"She will love it, and she won't be taking it off. That is how she is when she loves clothes. She is my everything and she is the only special little person that I love so much that I would do anything to make her happy. I know I have to be strict when she is a teenager and boys that she will set her eyes on. She is the best thing that has happened to me since marrying Amber. She is a breath of fresh air in my life. It was a surprise when Amber fell pregnant with her and when I found out that we were having a girl, I was over the moon," he said.
All of a sudden, I wondered what it would be like if it was me that fell pregnant and gave him a little daughter whom he loved. I snapped out of my thoughts because it would never happen. I also do not want kids. So I'm glad that he has kids with someone else already. "You could always give her a puppy when she is a little older and if we move into a bigger place," I shrugged.
"That sounds like a plan. But let us leave that for the near future. I still can't believe that she wants a baby sister. I hate to disappoint her, but it's a no for me. Just make sure that you never miss a shot, because I am serious when I say that I do not want anymore kids."
I smiled because it was the same thing that we wanted and also did not want. At least there will be no fighting about that because we both know what we want. I am happy with it and most of all, I am happy to have him and Bella in my life.
