The next morning, Arabella woke up to a piece of funky kid music and she could hear Adam's cute voice.
If she was not mistaken, Adam was singing accompanied by the beat.
She thought she was just dreaming as she slowly opened her eyes.
To her shock, she was inside a car.
She was lying in the passenger seat slightly reclined and the first thing her eyes landed on was the stereo of the car where the energetic music came from.
Then her eyes drifted to the man who was driving the car.
She quickly jumped onto her seat as she fixed herself.
Bill Sky was handsomely driving the car wearing his black ray ban.
Cool and sexy with his hair dropped down covering his forehead.
She wanted to take her time looking at her good morning view but her mind was in a panic trying to think why she was inside his car after last night.
"Mommy, your awake! Good morning my beautiful mom." Adam's enthusiastic voice was like an alarm clock.
She suddenly snapped back to her senses.
Bill looked at her and even though she could not see his eyes, she felt his gaze permeating all over her.
It made her feel conscious about herself.
She quickly looked at herself as the question in her mind was left unanswered.
She still couldn't think why she got inside his car.
In an instant, her eyes widened in shock.
She was just wearing her pajamas from last night.
A simple long-sleeve shirt partnered with its long pants printed with a bugs bunny character.
It was the only conservative pajamas inside her closet in the mansion.
She didn't even know who both that stuff.
The only thing she knew was there was one big closet there for all woman's stuff and Adam said it was all for her.
All things inside were new.
It was always a girl's instinct to detect something used and unused.
Just to avoid the awkwardness and him, she looked at the back to see Adam.
With an immediate smile, "Good morning honey!" She greeted Adam in a cheerful voice. "Baby...can you tell me where are we going?" She then asked controlling her panic attack. Adam was wearing a yellow tee and white shorts. He was also wearing his square-shaped black sunglasses and a bucket hat looking so gorgeous.
The father and the son were exceedingly handsome.
"Mommy, dad said we are going on vacation," Adam answered her excitedly.
"Oh,". She mumbled looking at herself. The two men were too handsome and dressed gorgeously but she was wearing her pajamas. Clenching her fists, she could only think of one thing. This was Bill's doing. Surely, he did it on purpose for her to be the laughing stock. It seemed Bill Sky had no plan to stop pestering him. " Where, baby?" This question was for Adam but she looked at Bill already killing him in her mind.
"We are going to the west, mom," Adam answered cheerfully.
He was securely fastened to his seatbelt while his head was moving up and down dancing to the tune inside the car.
Upon hearing Adam, she then remembered something.
Looking at Bill frowning and mocking.
Today, Bill was driving to Ginger's house in the west.
It was a long drive but Bill was very determined to drive there.
It seemed he was going to introduce Adam to Ginger's family.
With her thought, she felt a bit nuisance.
She could feel a pang in her heart.
Could it be she was jealous that her son would be introduced to another woman?
But what about her? What was Bill planning for her? Is he going to introduce her as Adam's nanny?
She heard that Bill was going to meet Ginger's father, Is Bill going to ask for Ginger's hand today?
Arabella heaved a deep sigh trying to calm herself.
Why did she feel so bad about it? She should be screaming in happiness right now since Bill Sky would no longer be in her life so soon.
Arabella leaned on the headrest trying to maintain her sanity.
The music was very lively but she could not absorb the vibe from it.
Her eyes looked at the long winding road.
It was clear and had no obstacles around it.
Trees were few and the sun was shining brightly.
Her eyes focused on the concrete road as her mind brought her to last night's event.
"Tell me if it was a lie." After Bill kissed her passionately, he spoke. His eyes were proving and his tone carried a subtle seriousness.
Her heartbeat stopped. Her lips could still taste the delectable intimacy they shared. It brought her to the night when they first met in the bar. When she kissed him then he deepened the kiss and didn't let her go. She could feel his intense desire, the longingness, hunger, and excitement through his lips.
Gosh!
She wanted more...
But no!
"Hah!" Arabella released a cracking mockery. "Ha!ha!ha!" She could not help it.
She laughed insulting him.
Why did she have to let her feelings ruin her again?
Bill Sky would never love her.
Bill Sky knows no love.
If there was someone who would hurt her, it would not be Bill Sky but herself.
It was because she already knew how terrible this man was but if she still let herself fall to this man, it was already her to blame.
"Mr. Sky. I'm tired already. Goodnight." Badly wanting to avoid him and kill her crazy feelings from his kiss, Arabella quickly added in a lazy tone.
She had to end this night otherwise she could not promise if she could still hold her guard.
Bill was too hot and alluring to handle.
His charm could easily bewitch her.
His kiss could make her out of control.
Then she quickly stood up and raised her hand to the butler who was waiting in a distance.
She signaled to Adam's tent.
The butler quickly lifted the sleeping Adam then they left. Arabella stopped in the middle and turned around to face the man who was still sitting on the couch with a blank expression.
"I wish you luck in your business trip to the west." She added meaningfully. Her tone carried sarcasm then she left.
On that night, she slept in Adam's room.
"Can you stop the car? I want to use a bathroom." Arabella suddenly sounded to the man who was focused on the road.
It seemed there was so much she needed to know and Bill should do the explaining.
He could not just drag her with him to Ginger's house.
She wanted to protest but she could not say it in front of Adam.
Bill turned to her. "In the next gasoline station." He uttered briefly and calmly then went back to focus on the road.
After hearing him, Arabella heaved a deep sigh trying to calm herself.
This man's arrogance was getting her nerves.
As promised, Bill stopped at the next gasoline station.
Adam quickly loosened his seatbelt and said, "Mommy, I'm going to use the restroom too."
