Chapter 3
The boss smiled warmly at her, " yes, I know that these are Ichigo's favorites. "
"He really loves everything that is sweet." She then put the pastries inside the containers and then putting the containers in her bag. "Thanks again boss for giving me these pastries."
"No worries, it is getting late why don't I take you home."
"No, no it's okay. I can go by myself." She can't possible allow her kind boss to be her chauffeur and what will her son think if he saw her boss taking her home, she doesn't want him to jump to any conclusions.
"I don't take no as an answer and it will be dangerous for a young woman to go home alone late at night." Looking at her still hesitating he added, "It will give me a peace of mind if I know that you arrived home safely."
Seeing that her boss is determined to drive her home she reluctantly agreed.
With a victorious smile, he help her with the bag to a.s.sure that she will follow him to the car.
In a small apartment the father and son waited patiently for the young mother to arrive. While waiting they discussed the reason on why Damon is in the apartment.
"So to make it clear you'll introduce me as a father candidate?" Damon asked incredulously.
"Yup!"
That simple response made Damon doubt his decision. "I think it will scare your mom, why don't I introduce myself as a suitor?"
Ichigo eyed him like he was an idiot. "Is it not the same as a father candidate?"
Damon opened his mouth to answer but then he closed it again, 'is it really the same?'
Damon wanted to correct himself but he was interrupted by a sweet voice.
"Sweetheart come and look at what I brought home." Just like in manga and anime a beautiful woman entered the home
Damon was mesmerized by the beauty in front of him.
Noticing the bewitched look of his dad Ichigo smiled brightly. 'Mom is really awesome, dad is now under mom's spell.' Ichigo felt proud to have a wonderful mother. 'My plans will be sailing smoothly now that dad will cooperate nicely.'
Not noticing the man in the house, Hestia went straight to hug and kiss her son. She missed her little bundle of joy. Laughing from her mother's ticklish attack, Ichigo asked her mom's day at the bakery.
Hestia stopped tickling her son to answer but then she finally noticed the stranger seating next to them, a loud shriek was then heard from the entire apartment complex.
Recovering from shock, Hestia grabbed Ichigo and then she dashed towards the door leaving a complete perplexed Damon behind.
Snapping back from the shock, Damon followed the mother and son duo.
Seeing that they are now mostly safe, Hestia sat down on the swing while putting Ichigo on her lap. She was breathing heavily from running too far, her face is burning red and her sweat flows like a stream.
'Who on earth was that? Did I just saw a ghost? But he was too handsome to be one, or am I hallucinating again?'
Knowing the thoughts of his mother, Ichigo clarified that Damon is human. "Mom the guy you saw earlier is a human, not a ghost and he is definitely not just a figment of your imagination."
Not fully convince, Hestia shook her head in disagreement. "He is definitely not human, Ichigo how can there be such a handsome man, maybe he is a cyborg in disguise and he is here to conquer our planet."
Hearing a deep voice from behind, Hestia squeak like a little mouse. "Thanks for the compliment I guess but be rest a.s.sured I am a human being." Damon now knows where Ichigo's weirdness comes from.
"That's right mom, dad is really a human just like us but he is like a next level human." Damon chocked on his own saliva when he heard what Ichigo said about him. He felt proud but at the same time embara.s.sed. Damon heard almost all compliments about his looks but he never heard any absurd comments until now.
Feeling something isn't quite right about Ichigo's sentence she made him repeat what he said. Alas, Hestia just heard her son call a man his dad. Ichigo was very vocal in expressing how he wanted to have a father, she is not boasting but she have quite a few suitors and Ichigo was very polite with them but he never acknowledged them as his father figure and yet this man just did the impossible.
"How did you convince my son to call you his dad? Did you actually used hypnotism?" As a mother, she wants the best for her kid and if this man in anyway tricked Ichigo to accept him as a father expect all h.e.l.l to break loose.
Looking at this fierce young woman protecting her child awaken something inside him, he can't figure out what kind of feeling this woman is eliciting from him but all he knows is, it is a pleasant at the same time a scary feeling.
