I Don’t Want To Be A Wife!

Threat

“Get away from me.” Layla kicked the man, who approached her, in the nuts and glared at him, while he struggled to stay up, with his lower region in pain.

“You…” The man was about to punch Layla, who had a cold expression on her face, ready to take it, when another man walked in and told the other to go out.

“Are you the master everyone is talking about?” Layla said mockingly, when she noticed that the man did as told and didn’t even attempt to dispute him.

“Yes and you are that bastard’s sister.”

“Which one? I have two.” Layla sarcastically replied, earring her a slap from the man, that only got her to smile, with drops of blood spilling from the corner of her lips.

“I will inform you that I hate people with an attitude, so you better get rid of it if you want to keep your life.”

“Oh you are threatening me?”

“Yes I am.”

“Then let me do the same. I don’t know who you might think you are, or your parents or whatever mafia or bullshit you have backing you up, but I am sure you know what my last name is right? Who my family is? And I advise you, if you value your life, to keep this joke short or you will regret it deeply.”

The next morning, they woke up to every news channel covering the matter, talking about her being Lennon's friends and how disgusting she is for what she did; everyone thought she was in prison because of last night, thinking that nobody came to her rescue, not even Lennon.

Noah didn't know about the whole matter and they wanted to keep it that way, so as soon as he woke up, they turned off the tv and acted like nothing happened. They don't want to expose him to another world of prison and accusions, he is too young for that, even though he will be four in a week.

They found out about his birthday when they searched for birth certificates, it was a miracle and they are thankful they did before it came; they were planning a big party for him and invite all of his friends, but now they doubt they will be able to do that, with dozens of news reporters surrounding their house and every person in the city knowing about this matter, including Noah's friends parents.

"We are leaving." Lennon said, getting up from his chair, while Noah and Maya were still eating their breakfast.

"Leaving? Where to?" Maya got up, following him to the staircase, as he stood on the top stair and she was in the last.

"The location of my next movie, we are staying there until this dies down and we can explain everything, I will go talk to the company, please tell Noah for me." Lennon said, taking another step to his room, the guest room, where his phone is.

"How do you take decisions in two minutes?!" Maya said in a loud voice, shocked at how fast Lennon thought of that, they woke up like an hour ago and he already has a plan? It's a good plan, but damn, that happened quicker than a car trying to make it before the lights are red.

"Mama?" Noah titled his head, looking at his mother with confusion, not knowing what's happening around him.

"We are going on a holiday." Maya responded, with a big smile, walking towards Noah.

"What about school?" Noah asked, putting down his fork, he finished eating.

"You can take a break, we will tell them about it." Maya responded, since she has one of the teachers phone number.

"Where are we going?" Noah asked, as he remembered that his birthday is next week and thought they were taking a holiday because of that.

"I don't know, but papa does, why don't we go and ask him?" Maya asked, lifting Noah from the chair, to carry him, as he nodded cheerfully.

Once she was upstairs, she put Noah down because her back was screaming for her to do so, ever since Noah got more weight, it has been hard to carry him, but it's favorite activity after playing board games with her and Lennon, so she can't stop; today though, she couldn't so she told her to hold her hand instead and walk a certain way, telling him it's the way to walk to papa's room to get answers and he believed her.

Maya reached the door and knocked, calling out for him. "Len...." before she could finish, he came out of the room and kissed her lips out of the blue, then carried Noah and celebrated with him, that they are going to Hawaii for two months.

'Was that an accident?' Maya thought to herself, as Lennon didn't seem bothered by it or talk about it, he was dancing with Noah while she was standing in her place, wondering if he kissed her or did she imagine it. She didn't want to think about it, she pushed the matter behind her back, deciding to think of it as an accident.

It was an accident and it wasn't at the same time, Lennon did it because he was excited and all, but also because he was tempted by her confused look, standing at the door, staring at him with wide pupils, wearing his shirt and looking so cute; he knows that he shouldn't have done it, but he couldn't contain himself; he ran away by playing with Noah, while she looked like she is questioning his existence, it was funny, but he should apologize to her later.

"Go get ready, I will help Noah pack his stuff." Lennon told her, as he sneaked another kiss on the cheek with Noah, then ran away with Noah to his room.

"I feel like there are two children in this house." Maya said to herself, rubbing her cheek and feeling the heat, coming from it.

After packing everything and getting downstairs, Maya and Noah got ready while Lennon, who was already ready, called the one who will help them, get out of the house, Lennon's friends, the friendships he made a month ago, came in handy, sooner than he thought.

The plan was to distract the reporters at the door; who still haven't left, they have been standing there for two hours straight; to get them away, they have to give them another news report and that was what Lennon and his buddies were planning on.

Actually, it wasn't something only Lennon is benefiting from but also two of his friends, who had the best scoop ever, they are in a relationship; they have been wanting to come out to the public for weeks but didn't know how, so when Lennon called, asking them for advice, it took them some time to think about it and decide they will do it; two birds with one stone.

"Thank you guys so much." Lennon said, hugging each of them, after opening the front door for them, while reporters were snapping pictures of them.

"No problem." Jun said, who was friend number one in the squad, Lennon created.

"I just needed to perfect excuse to do it, to convince Mr.there is no need to do it." John said, glancing at his partner, who avoided eye contact; it wasn't that he wasn't ready, he just didn't want to ruin his boyfriend's reputation, even though he told him, it won't, he still a bit hesitant.

"Where is your kid and wife?" Daniel, the fourth and last member of the friend group asked, not seeing anyone in the house other than Lennon.

"Oh, they are upstairs. Maya! We are going right now!" Lennon shouted, to get Maya's attention, which he did; as minutes later, she came down with Noah in her hand.

"So cute!" Daniel exclaimed, looking at Noah and his adorable small face.

"He looks so much like you." Hui, the third and the partner said, staring at Noah then glancing at Lennon.

"I know, we are lucky nobody saw him when the rumor sparked or else they would have found out about him." Lennon responded, with a smile, a sMaya and Noah got closer.

"Who are they mama?" Noah asked Maya, in a small voice, a bit scared of the four men standing in front of them.

"They are papa's friends." Maya said, still not believing Lennon made four friends in a month, while she still doesn't even know the neighbors.

"Should we get going?" Jun asked, thinking it's time to start the plan.

"Of course." John responded, holding his boyfriend's hand and getting out of the house; the first step of the plan.
