A LIAR AT THE ALTAR SEASON 2: CHAPTER 1 – 10
? Chapter 10?
“Cassie?”
I froze.
I increased the grip on my phone, he didn’t have the right to call me that anymore. How did he find me? The anger I had kept locked up deep inside me for years burst open, I tried not to let the rage control me since I was in a public place.
Should I ignore him because of what happened three years ago or turn to him and act like old friends? It’s been three years, it was better to act like I was over what happened and also act like it never happened. I had to show him, I was stronger and independent.
“Chloe.”
He called this time around, I chose the latter.
I forced a smile and turned around. He looked taller, that was the first thing I noticed.
He was in red gym shorts, black trainers and white tank-top that was soaked with sweat. Sweat dripped down his tanned arms, his blonde hair was full now, few strands glued to his forehead from the sweat.
“Tristan?” I tried to sound surprised, but it sounded so fake.
“Hi.”
I said, moving stylishly to cover Kayden. I hope whatever he wanted to say won’t take long.
In a situation like this, what do you do when the father of your baby was just five feet away from the baby he didn’t know existed?
He just stared at my face not saying anything for a while, his eyes were on my short hair.
“You cut…your hair,” he said with a look I couldn’t read.
“Yes,” I said in a monotone.
His house was far from here, why would he come all the way here for a run? Why today? More reasons I couldn’t trust Adrian.
“How have you been?”
His words sounded strained like he wasn’t sure of what to say.
“What do you want, Tristan?” I couldn’t stop the anger surging through my veins.
“Mommy!”
Wrong timing baby, please keep playing with the puppy.
Kayden ran to me and hugged my legs giggling, I smiled at him and looked at Tristan. He was staring at Kayden with raised brows, his eyes drifted to me, the question was already written on his face.
“You have a son?”
“Yeah, I’m married.”
The words left my mouth before I could stop them. He looked speechless for some seconds and hurt.
“That’s….that’s nice.”
He stuttered taking a glance at Kayden while I tucked my hands behind my dark jeans before he notices my bare fingers, I had no ring to go with my lie.
I got uncomfortable with the way he was staring at him, Kayden stared back and for a moment it felt like they were connecting in a way I couldn’t tell.
“Uhm…we were just leaving.”
I said making him divert his eyes back to me.
“It’s a hot day, how about we go get some drinks and ice cream for the little man?”
He asked and squatted to be on the same eye level with Kayden.
“Seriously Tristan? I just told you I’m married and you wanna have drinks together?”
“I heard you, I wanted to know how you’ve been doing.”
“Didn’t Adrian fill you in already? Stay away from me Tristan, I don’t care what you are here for. If you dare come anywhere close to me and my baby, I’m going to the cops to place a restraining order on you.”
I said trying not to raise my voice.
“I guess I’m too late.”
He said to me almost in a whisper.
He squat to be on the eye level with Kayden, didn’t he hear anything I said.
“Be a good kid,” He ruffled Kayden’s hair and stood up.
“Bye, Chloe.”
He winked at Kayden making him giggle, he smiled at me and fixed his Airpods and jogged away from us.
