ANDREA POV
I got into the house only to see my mother in the kitchen.
She had a worried on her face and though she tired to mask it by giving me a smile,I know that she couldn’t do it.
“Hello Mom”I greeted
“How is work today?”she asked
“Work was kind of great”I said softly
“I heard from Mary that you met Jack again”she said as I sat on the empty chair beside her
“Yes I did”
“And?”
“And nothing, we went out for dinner and talked of old times,do you know that he has a son too?”I said
“A son?”
“Well not that the boy his is biological child, he adopted the kid “I said
“That’s so nice of him and speaking of kids, Mary has been feeling down,she hasn’t come out of her room,ever since she came back”My mom said and I sighed softly
“Why don’t you just tell her the truth, be honest with her and tell her why you don’t want her to dance”She said
“I doubt if Mary would under stand me “I said
“That’s the excuse you have been given ever since Mary could speak,I think you should talk to her, tell her why you don’t want her to dance, she will understand” she said
“Are you sure? Would it be right for me to tell her about her dad”I asked
“Do you think that because she keeps quiet, she isn’t interested in knowing who her father is?” She asked
“I would also want to know “I muttered in agreement
“Go now Andrea, go and make it up with your daughter”She said and slowly I stood up and went up stairs.
I got to Mary and knocked and when there was no response I walked into the room and found her sitting on the floor watching a dance video on her laptop.
I went towards her and sat down on the floor beside her
“I don’t want to fight with you mom, so please leave”she said
“But I want to talk to you”I said softly and she turned off the lap top
“Do you like dancing that much?”I asked
“Yes I do, do you even have to ask?”she said
“Why do you even hate dancing, Grand ma told me once that you like dancing”she asked quickly
“Yes I did, I once did but every thing change when I met your father”I said
“Are you going to tell me about him now?”she asked and I nodded.

JACK POV
I stood by the balcony of my pent house still thinking about today event.
I never thought that going to today audition will lead me to see Andrea again
Aging made her more pretty, I thought as I kept thinking about her.
“Is that mystery lady the reason why you are smiling dad?” James asked as he walked towards me
“How did you get in and what are you doing here?”I asked as I ruffled his hair
“Stop that dad! Am a grown up now”he said
“Well you can never be a grown to me”I said
“Well I have your keys, Remember you gave it to me to get away from my crazy fans and also I came here to ask about the girl you asked me to take home earlier”he said
“Who? Mary! What do you want to know about her?”I asked
“Who is she and who was that lady with you?” He asked
“She is Andrea, Andrea Blake”I said
“What category does she fit in, your ex,your mistress or just a friend,I doubt if she will just be a friend”James said
“She was my first love and still is” I said
“Oh no! Your first what? Don’t tell me that the great Jack Cruise had been Inlove once”
“Stop messing with me”I said and he laughed
“Fine then, tell me, you said she is your first love, why did you break up with her in the past?”
“I never broke up with her”
“Then you two lost contact right?”
“No, I never dated her then”
“What?”
“You see she was Inlove with some one else,I was just a friend to her “I said softly
“You must have been heart broken?”
“I was and when I thought that there was a chance,that I could make her love me, she just left with out a word. For the past sixteen years am just seeing her again”I said
“Is she married or what?”
“She is a single mother ”
“So that means Mary doesn’t have a father”James asked
“Yeah, Andrea have been both her father and mother for the past sixteen years”
“Maybe that is why she is so cool”James said suddenly
“Who are you talking about?”
“Am talking about Mary, you know she intrigues me and I will like to know more about her”he said
” Don’t go messing around with Mary, am thinking of getting back with her mom”I said
“Am not messing around with her, I mean it this time dad, she treated me differently you know, I think I like her, how about we woo them both together?”
“Forget it James, I don’t trust you and so stay away from Mary”
“But dad!”
“Have you been accepted at Jupiter high, you need to continue your schooling”I said changing the topic.
“Why do I have to finish school, other idols like myself aren’t doing that dad”
“When you can’t rely on music,you need some thing to fall back on and so get your self enrolled or I would be force to interfere and you wouldn’t like it”I said
“Fine then,I will do as you say, you love ruining my mood, am off to my flat”he said as he left the room.
I was heading to the bath room when I got a call
?”Hello Jenny”
?”It’s just that I forgot to tell you some thing “my secretary said quickly
?”Are you calling to tell me that I have more schedules to meet up with?”I asked
?”Well some thing like that”she replied
?”Then shoot, it’s my punishment for missing work today”I said
?”Well the receptionist told me that some one was asking of you earlier”
?”Who?”
?”He said his name is Max Winston, he said if we told you his name you will surely know who it is”
?”Max! Did she see him or did he call?”I asked wanting to confirm if it was him
?”According to her, he was here accompanied with his wife,a certain Rose”She said
It’s him, its surely him but why! Why did he come back,I thought
?”What should we do sir,He said he wants to speak to you and that he will be coming tomorrow to see you” she said
?”Free up an hour of my schedule and tell him to meet me at that time”I said
?”Okay sir, good night”she said and i cut the call.
Why the hell is Max back and why does he want to see me.
Andrea never told him about his child but am sure that if he knows the truth,he will want to be with Mary and that alone will hinder my plan of getting close to Andrea.
I will have to talk to him tomorrow and keep him from seeing Andrea.

ANDREA POV
“He did all that?”Mary asked as I ended the story
“Yes he did, I never wanted you to know but you had to know about it some day”
“Do you want to know what his name is?”I added when she kept quiet
“I don’t want to, if he could leave you with out bothering to come back then i also don’t want to know about him, I would have preferred being in the dark” she said and I hugged her
“Are you sure that you don’t want to know”
“He hurt you mom and if any one hurt you, they hurt me too and people who hurt me,I discard them and so he is discarded already, don’t think about it again mom”she said comforting me
“Mother was right, you are now a grown up”I said
“Did you just know that”she replied giving me a smile.
“You can do the dancing if you want, I won’t stop you again”I said
“Really Mom?”she asked
“Yes and also if you want to enrol for your senior high, you can do that at Jupiter high, I know that you want to go there but you just couldn’t tell me about it”
“Oh mom you are the best!I love you so much”she said hugging me tight and I hugged her back
I do hope that am making the right decision, I thought as she kept showering me with ksses.
