The Runaway Lover by Kyzyl Mhy (beach read book .TXT) 📕

Chapter Twenty 

“Mommy, when are we going back to Daddy’s house?” Yohann asked in the middle of storytime.  

“I’m not sure, love...” Tina sweetly replied. “... maybe I can bring you to play with daddy during weekends.” She said as she caressed her son’s hair. 

The little boy then nodded and gave his mom a small smile as he tugged the sheets to cover his body. Tina smiled and kissed the boy’s head. It has been a long weekend for the both of them, and at last, they’re finally back at her brother’s house. 

Felix was completely against the idea of being separated from the two of them, that is why he and Tina got into a heated argument which caused them to end up in bed. He was successful with his plan to make them stay until the weekend, but he still could not persuade Tina to stay and live with him. 

“When are we going to live with him?” He added. 

Tina paused for a moment and looked at her son. She slightly bit her lip as she remembered the argument after she woke up naked next to Felix. 

A few hours ago... 

“Hmmm...” Tina woke up when she felt that someone was playing with the strands of her hair. She then slowly opened her eyes only to be immediately greeted by Felix’s gorgeous face. 

Her eyes widen in surprise as she quickly sat up and moved away from him which caused her to end on the floor along with the sheets. 

“W-What did you do to me?!” She hysterically asked as she covered her body using the sheets.  

She had just woken up, so her brain was still trying to process what had happened. Realizing that she was naked and her clothes did not help. The only thing that was running in her mind right now is the thought that all of these things were a part of Felix’s plan. 

“You bastard! You tricked me into sleeping with you!” She cursed him as she stood up and started throwing anything she could reach towards Felix’s direction. 

Luckily, Felix was quick to block the things and find cover. He somehow found himself laughing because of Tina’s sudden outbursts. He did not expect that things would turn out this way. 

He continued to hide himself behind the pillow until Tina finally calmed down. After getting worked up, memories started flooding in her thoughts, she finally was able to sort out the story and reasons as to why she was with him. 

Her cheeks burned when she realized that it was the other way around – it was her who fed herself to Felix, and that no foul play has taken place. She was ashamed, but she would not admit that she was wrong. 

“Are you done?” Felix asked as he peeked. 

“I hate you!” Tina scoffed, then Felix chuckled. 

“Really?” He laughed. “As far as I remember, you loved every bit of me.” He teased. 

Tina’s cheeks blushed harder. “Pervert!” 

She then stood up and composed herself. “What happened between us means nothing.” She spoke. “...and it won’t ever be happening again.” She added. 

“We were both just consumed by lust, and nothing more!” 

Felix’s brows furrowed as he looked and listened to her words. “I don’t believe you.” He contradicted. “It was more than just lust.” 

Tina breathed out and chuckled. “We’re both matured and healthy adults... sleeping around is just normal.” She smiled. 

“Casual sex...” Felix spoke with his cold voice. “Is that what you’re trying to say?” He asked. 

“Y-Yes!” Tina nodded.  

“Casual sex! It’s not new to me, I have had a couple!” She added to save her pride. 

She did not want Felix to assume that what happened was something special, so she resorted to telling lies to save her pride. Felix’s eyes darkened and his jaw clenched as he thought about Tina’s words. Suddenly his brain started visualizing pictures of another guy touching Tina. 

“F*ck!” He cursed.  

“That is not true.” 

Tina then turned her head to look at him, to see his reaction. His ego was clearly wounded by her words, and she could feel tension and darkness in the atmosphere.  

“It is,” she said, fueling his anger. 

Felix was probably thinking about her in a bad way, maybe perhaps calling her names in his thoughts, but she did not care. A part of her wants to apologize and just take back every word that she said, but the other part of her won – the part of her which told her that this was the perfect opportunity to push him away and end things with him so he won’t chase her again. 

That’s right! Men hate it when you tell them that you’re sleeping with someone else! She said in her thoughts. 

- 

“Good morning, love...” Tina smilingly greeted her son who had just woken up from his sleep. 

After getting a shower and dressing herself, she then went to wake her son up for breakfast.  

“Gooowd... Mor..ning, mommy.” Yohann yawned and greeted back as he sat up and cling to his mother's neck for a hug. 

“Did you sleep well?” She asked as she combed his hair using her fingers. 

“Yes, mommy...” Yohann politely nodded in reply. “Where were you, last night mommy?” He innocently asked. 

Tina smiled and as she pinched her son’s cheeks, “Shall we eat breakfast now?” She asked to change the topic. 

Then they headed to the dining hall to eat breakfast. Felix joined them, but her barely touched the food, he just drank coffee and fixed his attention on his phone. It was obvious that he wasn’t in his usual mood, but he still managed to entertain his son and answer his little questions. Tina on the other hand remained silent as she felt guilty. 

She then cleared her throat before she spoke. “Yohann and I are going home.”  

Felix coldly gazed at her. “Okay.” He coldly said before once again shifting his attention to their son. 

She was a little taken aback because of the coldness in his voice, she was a little bothered for she knew that she was at fault, but she chose to set it aside.
