Pleasuring the Maid novel Chapter 35

***Ray***

'What the fuck! ' Ava swore.

'Oh fuck! ' Bry swore too.

'Language kids! ' mum scolded.

'Let them be Ren, they have a right to swear. ' Dad interrupted.

'Oh please. ' Mum scoffed, rolling her eyes.

'First of all, don't roll your eyes mum, you look hideous and second, like dad said, I'm shocked so I'm allowed to swear.

'So you're literally my uncle? ' Ava suddenly asked, her face void of any emotion.

The only thing telling was her puffy eyes from having cried earlier.

'Yes Ava. ' Dad confirmed.

'No wonder you've been treating her like your daughter. ' I finaly spoke.

'Makes sense now. ' Bry backed me up.

'I still don't understand, I've lived my life knowing that I had only one uncle and now...You know what? I'm not even surprised. ' Ava spoke slowly, as if trying to understand what she was saying.

'Wait, is my dad really dead? ' Ava suddenly asked?

'Of all the questions you could have asked, you decided to ask that one? ' Way for Bry to be blunt as always.

'I'll tell you a story honey but first we are going to grab something to eat. Then we will sit somewhere, just the two of us. '

'Don't call her honey, that's my name for her. ' Mum chastised.

'Oh come on mum, quit it. She's his niece. ' I teased her.

'Thanks for telling me the shocking news. ' Mum laced her statement with sarcasm.

'Hun, Reynard will tell you everything you need to know about your dad.' Eve paused.

'I wish you wouldn't call him that though. ' She mumbled the last part, but judging from Ava's set of eyes on her, she heard it loud and clear.

'Mum. ' Ava walked towards her mothers bed.

'I will never want anything to do with a man who separated us. Things would have been obviously different in my life had you have been here. ' She placed her small hand on her mums equally small one.

'But I have a right to know what kind of a person he was. It's only for closure, nothing more. ' She paused again, swallowing saliva audibly.

'I want to mend my relationship with you, I want to spend time with you, get to know you more. Learn gradually how to call you 'mum'. But for me to do that, I have to get to know first the kind of past you have.

I have to know every single detail about what forced us to stay apart. Sadly the man who fathered me is all apart of it. So relax, nothings going to change. '

Ava squeezed her mum shoulder carefully, a sign of assurance in what she had just said.

I admit that confession was heartfelt, should have been private if you ask me. After a few minutes, Ava and my dad left, each one of them lost on their own thoughts.

'We have been in this room for an hour now. What is taking them so long? You would think a story takes only a few minutes. ' Bryson complained, pacing around like a caged animal.

'Shut up and sit down Bryson, I'm going to get sick watching you pace. ' Mum shot back.

'Oh come on mum, are you seriously not tired of waiting for them? Not to mention how hungry I fucking am. ' Bry threw his hands up in exasparation.

'Quit complaining about petty things. I never raised you to be an impatient man acting like a 12 year old kid. ' Mum spoke back again.

'Raised me? ' Bryson stopped pacing, pinning his glare onto mum.

'Are you kidding me? You never raised me or Ray for that matter. '

'Speak for yourself Bryson. ' I warned him.

'Please stop, it has not come to this. ' Mum begged.

'Stop? are you seriously asking me to stop? ' Bryson scoffed.

'You were not there when I needed you the most. You knew about what happened, you should have come back. Instead you chose your bestfriends child over my own safety and sanity.'
