265 CHAPTER 265: I LIKE HIM, TOO

''Sometimes there is no next time, no time-outs, no second chances; sometimes its now or never.''

It was definitely a tiring yet enjoying day and Mira had already fallen asleep in the arms of her new daddy. They did a lot of family outdoor games and activities that needed both parent's participation. And who would ever thought that they indeed look like a compete happy family.

As for Max, he became the teacher's assistant for that day. He also served as the family's photographer and took a lot of photos.

The day ended filled with smiles. But though the other's went home, Mira coerced with her dad to stay at that place for a while. Alex couldn't do anything but agree. Ethan also agreed since that place was known to be a good location to view the starry night sky. Who knows they'll also witness a falling star?

They were sitting together under their tent while their gaze is on the beautiful starry sky. Words alone can't express the momentarily atmosphere, it was too beautiful to behold.

'' It's beautiful.'' The woman uttered while her eyes was on the horizon.

'' definitely.'' The man replied. Mira on the other hand, fell asleep while leaning on his father's leg, the man caressing his hair and it became the child's lullaby.

'' Thank you...'' she muttered.

'' for what?''

'' For this... '' she glance at him. '' For everything.'' She smiled.

'' I should be the one to say thank you.''

'' Eh? For what?'' She creased her brow.

'' For giving me the chance to be with you both.'' He smiled. ''This is more than what I have asked for.''

''Eh?''

Ethan inch a little closer. Then a little bit closer...

'' Alex, thank you...'' he whispered. The woman could feel his minty breath inching closer and closer.

'' Ethan...''

'' Alex... I can't take this anymore... I...I like you...'' he muttered as he lovingly traces the woman's lips with his fingers. ''Áh, no.. that's not right... I don't like you, in fact, I love you.'' He brushed his lips on hers.

'' E-Ethan...'' she can't think straight. She doesn't know what to say. Did he hear him right? Or was she just imagining things that he heard the man wrong? '' E-Ethan... I-I.....''

She couldn't say anything since the man had captured her lips. He was kissing her lovingly and passionately. His lips... it's teasing hers so she parted it to give him full access.

It's hot, fierce, steamy and... and... dang! She couldn't resist it anymore therefore, she responded on the man's advances.

And under the bright starry sky, one can see two souls connected with each other, sharing an intimate and pasionate moment.

Unknown to them, Max had been taking photos secretly and had sent it to someone oversee.

Ethan laid the little girl on the small bed after Alex fixed her bedside. As soon as she was comfortable, Alex went to the kitchen and brewed some coffee, Ethan followed.

'' Want some coffee?'' The woman offered.

'' sure.'' He replied and sat on the table opposite her.

She was silently brewing the coffee while Ethan kept on watching her calm composure. After a few minutes, she served him a cup of hot coffee, while she had her tea.

''But I don't think you'll be able to sleep once you finish this.'' She smiled.

'' It's okay. I don't think I'll be able to sleep either since I'll surely be thinking of you.'' He nonchalantly replied.

Alex suddenly cough after being choked by either her saliva or the tea that she was about to drink.

''E-excuse me...'' she wiped her mouth. Then the man suddenly stared at her. His blue eyes was seemingly trying to communicate something but his mind appears to be hesitating. She couldn't bear his intense gaze therefore she averted her eyes by looking at the tea in her hand.

'' E-Ethan... about what happened earlier...'' she was breaking.

'' I mean it. I mean every words I said. When I said I love you, I really do.'' He interrupted. He was sincerely looking at the woman who was still staring at her cup of tea.

She sadly closed her eyes, looks like she was thinking about something. She's hesitating!

'' I know this may be too fast for you... But Alex believe me... I've had this feelings for you since then. I had and will always be -----''

'' Ethan!'' She exclaimed. '' Enough... please stop it. I don't want to hear more. Please.''

'' Alex..'' he creased his brow. '' But why?''

She couldn't speak.

'' Alex, It's not because you don't have any feelings towards me, right?'' He inquired. '' or tell me, tell me that you don't feel the same way like I do!''

Still, the woman isn't responding.

The man sighed. ''But I can wait if your not yet ready. I can wait no matter how long---''

''Don't! Cause nothing will change even if you wait for eternity.'' She dejectedly uttered.

''What do you mean?''

'' Clement...''

The man pathetically laid back. ''You love him?'' He wanted to know. But the woman didn't give a her direct answer. She went silent all of a sudden. Sadness could be seen from her eyes.

'' I understand.'' Then Ethan slowly stood up. '' I'm going. Thanks for the coffee.'' Then he exited the room not looking back.

The woman wanted to see him off but the atmosphere isn't just right. Dang! That was painful! Her heart... she could feel the throbbing pain. Why? Seeing how frustrated the man was, she feels the same way too. And she couldn't say she doesn't like him. Perhaps, she had fallen in love with him!

She had only realized it this day when she saw how the man doted her child, vice-versa. The way how he gives time for Mira, that's what she wanted to see the most. But she can't possibly desert Clement, right?

Meanwhile, as soon as Ethan exited the woman's apartment, he immediately took out his phone and called his detective friend.

'' I need his data not before morning.'' He clenched his fist while he dash to his car.

He saw how the woman couldn't answer his questions earlier. Whatever Alex and Clement has is not something romantic like what they feels towards each other. What they have isn't love, maybe that man Clement love her but it must have been a one-sided love.

He knew Alex likes him too. He can tell and he had felt it whenever they became intimate with each other. Aisha's heart is still beating strong within her. Her mind might have forgotten his face and their memories together but her heart didn't! He strongly believes it.

As for Alex, as soon as she stopped shedding tears, she slowly stood up and took the cup that Ethan used. he didn't even finished half of it. She was about to take it to the sink when she suddenly jerked. She was surprise to see the little girl standing in daze while looking at her with a seemingly mournful eyes.

Wait,how long had she been standing there? She didn't notice her! Did she possibly hear their conversation?

''Mira? How long have you been standing there?'' She uttered worriedly as she walk towards her. She knelt to meet the child's gaze.

''Mom, are you crying?'' The little kid traces her mother's eyes.

The woman shook her head. ''No baby... something went inside my eyes a while ago that's why mom's eyes turned like this.''

The little girl scowled. She knew her mother was lying.

'' You're a bad lier mom.'' She snorted as she folds her arms criticisingly.

'' Eh?'' She suddenly chuckled. Her baby does know her very well.

'' Do you like my daddy Ethan?'' She blurted out of nowhere. There eyes were staring at each other.

'' S-sweetheart...''

''Mommy.'' The little kid cupped her cheeks with her tiny warm hands. She appears to be a mature adult who was trying to comfort her desolate mother. '' Its okay if you like my daddy Ethan... I like him too.'' She innocently smile.

'' I like daddy Clement too, but I like my daddy Ethan even better.''
