Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

I looked at my son, smiling when I saw that he was willing to talk to me.

Katherine was quiet as she walked inside the kitchen. She didn’t say a word at all. Instead, she just stood in by the door, her arms crossed over her chest.

“Do you enjoy the school that you go to? Your mom told me that you enjoyed it.” I asked, looking at my son. He nodded, smiling at me as he did.

“Yes! I love my school very

much. We have a lot of friends there. My teachers are very kind, and we do a lot of math there.” Ashton said, and I smiled.

“Do you like math?” I asked, and he nodded. It was something that he had in common with his mother. She was a person that loved math a lot, it was something that she often did when she was sitting alone. She was smart in her own way and it was something that attracted me to her.

“I love math. I play these games a lot, and mama always plays with me. The winner gets an extra cookie when she makes them.” Ashton said, and I smiled.

Katherine put her hands on my shoulders, gently massaging them. I put a hand on hers, smiling when I looked back at her. She shook her head, and I raised an eyebrow at her. Her eyes held a warning glance, and I rolled mine before turning my attention to my son.

“Do you like math?” He asked. I smiled and shook my head.

“No, I don’t. Your mom was always good at it. She helped me a lot in the past when it came to counting things with work.” I said, and Katherine sucked in a harsh breath. “I am guessing that you are a lot like her.”

“Yes!” He said, and I nodded. He took another bite out of his sandwich before looking at where his mother was sitting. The way she left told me that she was hurt. She didn’t voice it out, but I understood how she felt. It was a mutual feeling. “Why did mommy go?”

“Mama went to answer her phone.” Alaria said, entering the kitchen. I knew that she would

be listening. She wouldn’t be leaving her son alone with me like this. I would have been surprised if she did.

She kissed the crown of his head, letting her lips linger there before she pulled away. “You hardly ate, baby.”

“I’m not very hungry, mama.” He said, and Alaria nodded.

“But you need to eat, sweetheart. How are you going to grow big and strong? And considering the fact that it is only half a sandwich, I don’t think that it is too big to finish.” She said, and he smiled. “Can mama take a bite? This would help you finish yours.”

“Okay!” He said, and Alaria smiled as he extended the sandwich to her mouth. She took a bite out of it and handed it to him, watching as he finished the rest of it. I kept my eyes on her for a second, watching as Ashton ate before I got up.

I put my plate inside the sink, Matilda, one of the maids, walked toward it to wash.

I nodded at Alaria, choosing not to say a word as I walked out. Katherine followed, her eyes. as cold as ice as she looked at me.

I went to walk to the stairs but she wrapped her hand around my wrist, stopping me. I let out a low growl, turning to face her and she shook her head.

“First you kiss her, then this.” She said, her eyes meeting mine. I frowned and I shook my head in question. “I saw you, before you try to deny it; I know what I am speaking about.”

“Your point is, Katherine?” I asked, and she frowned. Her eyes darkened, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“You don’t even regret nor are you trying to explain things?” She asked, scoffing when she saw my cold attitude.

“You know for fact that the two of us…”

my

“I am loyal to you, and you go on ahead kissing other women?” She asked, and I shook head as I grabbed her arm, guiding her to the guests bathroom. She looked me dead in the eye as I turned the water faucet on, and I shook my head in question.

“You really are foolish, aren’t you?” I asked, and her eyes widened. “You went on ahead and told Alonso about what Alaria called him. Don’t you think that it would stick in his head? I was trying to fix things and at least wrap her around my finger. The last thing that I am going to need right now is for you to mess with me after YOU made the mistake.”

you are

“I made the mistake? It was you who told me to keep my son away from her. Now blaming me?” She asked, and I shook my head. The woman wasn’t a bright one, that was something that I realized years ago. But then again, after being with a woman who was naturally smart, whether it was intellectually or socially: I knew that my standards would be high.

“Had you been Alaria, I wouldn’t have had to explain myself to you.” I said, and the woman frowned. Her eyes hardened, and I shook my head. “You know where I found them before I kissed her? Why I had to fucking do it?”

She didn’t respond, and I scoffed.

“Her and Alonso are on good sides. The woman took what you told him to her advantage. She explained her side and he believes in her. The worst part is, she is right about it. She was just smarter in using her words.” I said, taking a step back. “And I think that it is something that you are going to need to learn.”

I turned the water faucet off before turning to leave the bathroom. Her chest rose and fell and I looked down at her stomach. “I really am curious about how things would have been had you not been carrying this baby. But I am sure that you know…

“I can abort the baby if that’s what you want.” She said, stopping me. I kept my hand on the door handle, shocked of what she was saying. “If you don’t want me in your life; fine. The two of us can go for abortion. But this is the last time that I am going to allow you to try and taunt me with the baby.”

She walked past me, her body brushing against my own as she walked out of the bathroom.

“You have a day to make up your mind.” She said, looking down at her feet. “We can either

go

check for the ultrasound or I can request for abortion pills. The choice will be yours, Alpha Enzo…”
