River’s POV
5 Years Later
“Mommy, mommy are you up, “Nathan yelled, stomping to my room as I peeled my eyes open slowly to see him climbing on my bed,“Come on mommy I want to go to Jacobs.“He yelled, jumping on my bed until I grabbed him and began to tickle him in his abdominal area as he giggled uncontrollably. Its where he was most ticklish and I loved to mess with him.
“Mama stop.“He said, as his ocean blue eyes glistened with laughter.
He reminded me so much of his father it scared me.
“Alright Nate let James fix you breakfast and I will go change.“I cooed, placing multiple kisses on his cheek. Two years ago I got promoted to the CEO of ‘Garcia’ clothing line and since then I saved for this six bedroom flat. One room for each family member plus an extra.
My Mom and Aiden went to New York because Aiden got into an Academy for High School.
Though expensive the Academy ensures the cost of tuition will be around fifteen thousand so he decided to go because he says he did not want to depend on me for every move and I was saddened by the fact he thought it was only my money but I was happy for him in the long run.After all, everything I have been working towards was for him, Nate and Mom.
“Mi Bebe Como estas.My baby how are you.”A voice said from a short distance, and directly from the accent, I knew it was Mateo.Mateo loved to teach Nate Spanish since we had Italian and Spanish descent in us.My grandmother was completely Spanish so he knew the language like the back of his hand.
“Estoy muy bein(I’m very good),” Nate replied, as Mateo grabbed him and smuggled a couple of kisses because he hated when Mateo kissed him multiple times even though I do it all the time.Why I had no idea. Maybe he’s like his uncle it takes away his masculinity at four.
After I finished my morning routine, I opened my walk-in closet and began rummaging through finally decided on a designer, white flower patterned, pink and gray mid-high pencil skirt, a white designer blouse, nude colored heels and a Dolce nude colored clutch.
I stole one last glance at my reflection than I grabbed my phone, wallet, lip gloss and shoved them in the bag walking out to the kitchen where Mateo and Nate were sitting at the table eating
“Come on let’s go you guys,” I said, smiling as they all gave me a blank stare.
“Are you not going to eat,” James asked, placing an extra plate on the table.James was like a best friend to me, he helped me raise Nate, took care of the house and still had time at the end of the day to hear my never-ending troubles.
“No thank you I will eat at the office.“I smiled warmly as Mateo and Nate gave me a death stare.
“What?“I chuckled glaring there way.
“Cariño (Sweetie) you have to eat it is not healthy most importantly I do not want you to shoo away the employees.We both know you get quite feisty when you’re hungry.“He murmured chuckling along with Nate.
“SÌ Mama please eat even if its something small.“He begged, blowing on his hair so it wouldn’t get in his way.
“Fine I will grab a piece of toast with jam and coffee is that fine, my nosey family.“I finally said caving in as smirks formed on each of there faces.
I scarfed down the toast, took a few sips of coffee than grabbed my car keys.
“Come on, Jacob is waiting,“I yell for Nate as he jumps off the chair, washes his hands and heads my way.
" Amor(Love) I will not be here the next two days because our company in New York has to sign a contract with H&M in Turkey but I will be here for the fashion show I promise.I know you have been working hard on the final touches judging by your restless nights.“He assures and I smile.I was glad he trusted me with the company in San Fransisco, it meant a lot.
