LIE TO ME

11. New feelings

                     Martha's p.o.v

I turned to the other side with a smile across my face.

 Where I was laying felt so warm and very comfortable.

 I opened my eyes lazily then yawned.

My smile instantly faded when I felt an arm on my waist tighten. I quickly tensed then slowly turned back again and came face to face with Sonny.

He was calmly staring into my eyes without a word.

My heart instantly picked up as I swallowed hard.

My gosh, what was wrong with me. All this time I had been living with him, there was never a day I had thought of him as sexy or handsome. But for some reason, now I could see clearly that he really was very handsome and sexy.

How was I to react around him?. 

After his confession yesterday, my perspective about him completely changed and my body was now reacting to his every touch and gaze.

My cheeks were badly heating up but no matter what, I couldn't look elsewhere. It's as if I was in a binding trance that forced me to submit only to him and give in to whatever the feeling inside me was.

"Morning." He whispered huskily.

Fuck he was sexy. Even his husky voice gave me shivers!. Was I blind all this time, or was I just acting blind. I couldn't pretend anymore. I smiled then whispered. "Morning."

After having dinner with Tom and Sonny. I wanted to sleep in the spare bedroom, but for some reason, I found myself in Sonny's room and what was so damn surprising, was how he acted. It was like he was expecting me to come back and lay beside him.

The door opened with a loud bang startling me and Tom quickly walked in with a bright smile across his face. I sat upright and extended my hands towards him.

He happily got on the bed and hugged me 

"Morning mother." He whispered.

"Morning big boy," I answered back while rubbing his back gently.

It was like a beautiful fairytale dream having him in my arms and right next to me.

He pulled back and looked at Sonny who was still laying down facing us happily with a smile.

"Get up Dad, get up now!" Tom whined while shaking him slightly.

"Damn it, nooo." Sonny whispered playfully then sat upright with a low groan.

"I'm up okay." He answered lazily.

"You promised to take me out for bike riding remember?" He asked as Sonny scratched his head.

"Did I?" He asked softly.

"Yes you did, Dad you didn't forget did you?" Tom asked sadly.

"Well...I wanted to go to work, but I guess missing out a day wouldn't hurt. We will go bike riding instead." He said seriously.

Tom waved his hand In the air cheerfully then stopped when he looked at me.

"Is Mother coming too?" He asked as Sonny looked at me.

I kissed Tom's forehead lightly then nodded.

"Of course, why not?. Missing out a day from work wouldn't kill." I answered.

"I love you guys," Tom screamed on top of his voice while moving up and down. 

"So where are you taking us?" I asked Sonny softly.

"Taking you?" He asked back with a chuckle.

"Nowhere yet. You see, our son and I have no clue or idea how some people ride bicycles." He said surprising me.

The fact that he was saying our son so easily, felt kind of nice. 

"Damn it. For real?" I asked on top of my voice.

"Yes. Do you know how to ride a bicycle?" Sonny asked seriously.

"Why do I feel like I'll regret over saying the truth?" I asked under my breath.

"Martha, you do right?" He asked again.

"Yes, I do," I answered with a low sigh.

"That's great, then you can teach the both of us." He said calmly.

"What!. No way." I answered in disbelief.

"Mother please," Tom whispered with a sad expression on his face.

"Fine," I answered giving in.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me out of bed as I willingly let him.

"Come on mother, hurry." He said as we rushed downstairs and outside.

 Sonny was right behind us.

I glanced at him giving him a murderous look. 

"What?" He mouthed out the words.

How dare he walks out of the house with nothing on but a short. His sexy, mouth-watering abs were on full display for the bitchy Dorcus.

"Go and dress up." I mouthed back.

"But why?" He asked seriously.

"Just go and do it!" I exclaimed.

He frowned then turned and slowly went back in.

"Son, how about we first brush our teeth. Take a bath and eat?. Moreover, I don't see any bicycles around." I said softly trying to convince him to give up on his idea.

"The bicycles are right behind the house." He said then continued dragging me.

When we reached where two bicycles were parked, I was astonished. I would have sworn that there weren't any bicycles in our compound.

"Where the hell did they come from?" I asked loudly.

"They have always been here for as long as I can remember," Sonny answered behind me.

I quickly turned and faced him. He was in another pair of shorts this time and a white sweatshirt.

"I guess I was the blind one then," I said in a low tone.

"Yeah, now let's get started," Sonny said cheerfully then went and grabbed one bicycle.

"What's the first step teacher?" He asked teasingly.

"The first step Is to get on sir," I answered.

He quickly pushed the bicycle to where I was and got on with one of his feet still on the ground balancing his pose.

"I'm on." He said.

"Yes. But put both of your feet on the bike peddle." I instructed while I grabbed the front of the bike to help him balance.

I clearly had no idea what I was doing. I no longer remembered how I had learned to ride a bicycle. Nor had I ever trained anyone before.

"I can't believe I'm training the both of you," I complained as I pushed the bicycle ahead then gasped loudly when he tried to navigate it but failed terribly and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Dad!" Tom called in fear then quickly ran to his side.

I too wasted no time in following behind.

Sonny groaned loudly then sat upright. I moved closer and knelt down beside him, his knees were slightly bruised but his hand was bleeding, he had a small cut there.

"I'm fine." He said simply.

"No, you are not!. Tom quickly go and get the first aid kit in the house, ask Dorcus to give it to you." I said as he quickly got up and rushed back to the house.

"How can you be fine when you are bleeding." I whispered softly then slowly began to massage his fingers to see if he was in any discomfort.

"You will be alright," I said in assurance.

"With your touch, I'm sure I will be okay." He answered softly.

I froze for a second then slowly looked him in the eyes. His words were simple. Yet they made me so happy.

"Allow me to thank you for this nice massage." He said softly then lifted his other hand and pressed it on my cheek gently.

I swallowed hard and stayed still as he slowly leaned in 

"Sir are you okay?. Little Tom told me what had happened and I came here rushing." Dorcus said as she quickly approached us with the first aid kit in her hand.

I was furious, yes at the dumb b***h who had ruined our moment. It was now clear that she was doing s**t deliberately.

I was about to stand up when Sonny grabbed my hand and pulled me down on his lap.

I wanted to yell at him when he crushed his lips against mine in a rough kiss. 

I wanted to push him away. I really did, but sadly I couldn't find the strength to do so. I powerlessly gave in and kissed him back shamelessly.

 My hands went around his shoulders as I closed the space between us to feel his amazing firm built pressed against my body. His hand moved from my hand to my waist. Pulling me closer than I already was.

A loud gasp immediately made me pull back. Sonny smirked proudly then dropped his hand.

Why the hell did I kiss him back?. Why?. That was all that went in my mind.

"Thank you for the massage." He said softly.

I quickly stood up and cleared my throat then turned and faced Dorcus.

"I just wanted to see if everything was...fine. And if you needed anything besides the first aid kit." She said as I quickly walked back into the house with a rapid beating heart.

I went upstairs and straight into a spare bedroom.

Once it was closed, I touched my slightly swollen lips in shock.

I was crazy!. I wasn't in my right mind. Was I dropping my guard down and forgetting my plans?.

No, Sonny made me go through a tough time. It was about to be the last time, now that I had my son. I was going to find a way to leave with him by my side. All that Tom needed was persuasion, I wasn't going to involve Sonny in anything or get attached to him.
