sorry for the late updates
i had to deal the my exams and other things.
**************
Terror, my nightly terrors
Nightmares of those dark times in my life has hunted me for the past 6 years, i have tried medication and therapy but nothing works i guess i will just have to live with it for the rest of my life.
"Papa papa wake up I'm hungry"
really again..... seriously i'm going to have to sit down and teach Charlie on how to let daddy sleep in
"Papa wake up or i gonna be late for school"
Oh s**t today is Monday now i know why Garfield hates Mondays
"Alright pup now go brush your teeth and pick out your clothes and i will come make breakfast for us"
"Ok daddy"
I guess i have to get up now.
After my shower, i went to bathe charlie and now it's time to pick out my clothes so i walk to my closet to see what i have
"Ummm.....what to wear oh i think i will go with the blue tshirt and black jeans and besides blue is a great colour, nice"
and i just realized that I'm talking to myself out loud
"Alright pup what do you want for breakfast" please be simple
"I want pancakes with your homemade batter and honey" but but i wanted to make a lazy breakfast.
"Ok pup, do you want sliced fruit too" i know i digging myself a deeper grave *sigh* the things i do for this child
"Yes daddy"
After breakfast, we arrived at Charlie's school
"Hey pup, you know that i love you and would do any thing for you right"
"Yes papa i know"
"Good now for the sake of your safety i had put your phone in one of the hidden pockets in your backpack"
"Ok"
"I have already incripted my phone and office number so you can reach me on any of them ok"
"Ok daddy"
"So see any weird thing or person just anything out of the ordinary you run, hide then you call ok"
"Ok daddy but papa i know that you work and that is why you are never around, i know that and i am not mad at you for that, i understand"
"I know pup but that is not enough reason to neglect you" i said, i know that what we are talking about is making pup sad but i need to know that he can protect himself when i am not there and that i will never neglect him, he is my only family
"Papa i need to go inside"
"Alright you can but do you need me to Walk you inside"
"Papa we are standing just outside the door"
"Oh sorry.....hey look me in the eyes, you know i love you right"
"I know daddy bye" he starts to run inside
"Bye" i don't know if i am the only parent who enjoys see there child run.
"Hello" Miss Smith said to me before i had the chance to run.....ugh she been hitting on me every time she sees me and that is every day.
"Good morning Miss Smith"
"Good morning David and i have told you to stop calling me that, call me Selina"
"Umm i don't think i like that, i want us to be professional for the sake of my son" can't she just take a hike already
"Oh about Charlie, he is a good boy but his needs a another parent, a female like me that can fill in the role of a mother, don't you think"
"What! No i didn't think so, your job is to teach my son in school and nothing else so please don't cross your boundaries again or else i wouldn't only warn you"
"O Ok sir, I'm sorry"
"Whatever"
Jesus, some people
This is the height of it, every time I come to drop or pick charlie from school, i get harassed
Even when i take Charlie out just for the sake of it, i get harassed, why?
With a pissed mood, i get into my car and drive home for some alone time.
Few minutes later i arrived home and the first thing I need to do is clean Charlie's room, i know when i say alone some will be thinking about Netflix and chill but no, my alone time is cleaning and going laundry, i know crazy right.
I cleaned Charlie's room first and let me tell you for someone who likes to do everything by himselfselves, his room sure is a mess and it took a lot of time but i did it. I also clean the basement with is a NORMAL name for my weapon's room and after that i cleaned the rest of the house and i am proud to say that my house is now sprinkling and smells like bleach.
The time was 10 pm when i decided to actually Netflix and chill but that's when my phone rang
"Mr cater, who am i speaking to"
"Mr cater, this is Mr Jerald and i am Mr Cole's assistant"
Shit work calls "yes, what can i do for you Mr Jerald"
"Nothing for me but something for Mr Cole, he needs your presence in his office immediately"
I thought i was off work today, so much for wanting to spend time with Charlie
"Umm Sir are you still there"
Awkward, i am such an awkward person "yes i am and i will report to his office at 12pm, is that ok"
"Yes it is perfect, thank you for your time Mr cater"
"No problem and if that's all... Good bye Mr Jerald"
"Good bye"
Uhmm....i need to get ready and i also hope this impromptu meeting is not going to affect mine and Charlie's relationship by driving us more apart and making my son think that he can't approach his father.....well damn that was deep even for me.
I turned off the television and up the stairs to my room to start a bath. In the bathroom, i added my favorite bath bomb and Axe bathing soap into my already waiting warm or like hot water, i got down to my bathing suit and got into the bathtub.
I never really have the strength to prepare a bath for myself because i am an overthinker, i overthinking even the smallest of things and i always tend to avoid thinking of my past or what i am going to tell Charlie when ask of him Mom and because i always come home late and stressed that i just eat dinner and have a hot shower then i fly onto my bed with will lead to the end of my day.
After about 40minutes in the tub, i was ready to get out and i did actually get out, i walk to my closet to pick out something presentable not to over the top but classic at the same time, i don't want to look like someone who just wants to be a stay at home dad which in reality is what i want to be..... crazy right.
I picked out a navy blue suit with a Rolex watch and a pure leather shoe....what can i say i like looking good and kind expensive since i was derived of it when i was young and besides i have the money.
I checked the alarms, sensors and locked my house and went down to the garage to pick me a car that will befit my dressing and style
A Range Rover, a black Range Rover to be precised
What can i say, i am a simple guy ok
I got and drove myself to Mr Cole's office, it was 11:50pm, i was 10 minutes early which was good because men like Mr Cole are never late or on time. s**t i'm nervous but i have got to get going.
I rode the elevator up to the 30th floor, men like Mr Cole like having a floor to themselves why, no one knows
I see an office desk in front of the door that says Mr Marcus Cole "hello i am here for my 12 pm meeting with Mr Cole" i said to what i presumed was a secretary
"Ah yes Mr Cater, your are early nice; you can go in now, he is waiting"
"Ok thank you" the one thing on my mind now is try not to get fired oh and hope this meeting is done before Charlie is out from school.
*Knock*
"Come in" i heard
I opened the door and stepped in and to be honest i wish i didn't, infact i wished that i didn't answer that phone call at all
