”Because I bought the tickets for us? I mean if you’d honestly rather be somewhere else, you can leave. No ones keeping you here..”
{ ♡ };; “No, I mean…I like being here because you wanted me to come with you but… I don’t know, I mean you know that I get bored easily with that kind of stuff.”
“But they can Zoe, because Mia is in no way mine.” he stated and let out a little huff, now he was just tired. Of everything. His arms wrapped around her but the other stayed put on her face, eyes fluttering closed as he decided that he was just going to sleep. Because maybe, just maybe if he knocked out then he would wake up in some alternate universe where everything was in place, perfect, not complete shit as it is now.
{ ♡ };; Sighing quietly, Zoe closed her eyes. “Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”, she whispered, her arms caressing his bare skin. She soon noticed that the boy wanted to sleep, and so she didn’t even say anything anymore. Yes, Mia wasn’t really his but still, she didn’t think that they could be so cruel and take the little girl out of her comfort zone just to give her to her mom where she almost never was and probably would have a messed up life. They just couldn’t do that.
”No I’ve just been calling you Zoe, but the fact that you’re around as much as you are and the things you do fill in the motherly role and she’s rather pissed about that.” he muttered into the pillows, a low sigh leaving his lips as he rolled onto his back. His shoulders shrugged. “They gave her to me because she allowed them too. Because she knows she has a fucking hold on me and she loved to tug and pull and fuck with my life as much as she wants.” he stated as his hands moved over his face. “I don’t know, I really don’t.”
{ ♡ };; “But they can’t take Mia away from you again. She’s too used to you and not to her mother I mean, she doesn’t even know her. I’m sure they’d realize that.”, she muttered, snuggling up to the boy, just to be closer to Elijah in this situation. She knew that it wasn’t easy for him but he had to go through this now. All Zoe actually could do was try to keep his mind of these stupid thoughts and make him smile and also, try not to be around Mia as much as she used to. It was really for the best. “Don’t worry babe, I’m sure you can keep her.”
“Or her lawyer could use against me. Attempting to say that I’m allowing Mia to replace her real mother with a fake one and how I’ve already done that by replacing her real father with a fake one and how I’m not telling her the truth.” he muttered as he rolled over, his head burying into the pillows. That was definitely a mood killer, by far. Because now all he could think about was way to make his case, ways to keep the daughter he’d come to know. Fuck.
{ ♡ };; “You’re not telling her I’m her mom, are you? I’m aunt Zoe. I think she’s allowed to think that I’m her aunt.”, Zoe simply replied, biting down on her lower lip. Zoe quickly slipped under the covers as she noticed that the mood was seriously killed by now. But it didn’t matter, having sex wasn’t everything; Zoe was happy if she could only be with him, no matter what they were doing. “I don’t think they’d take her away from you. You’re a way better parent than they could ever be and anyone can easily see that. There’s a reason why they willingly gave Mia to you and not to some foster parents.”
His arms circled around that tiny waist of hers, thumbs moving easily along her pale flesh as his tongue swept over his lips. His lips then pressed to her forehead and he chuckled, his shoulders shrugging. “You’ve gotten to busy for me, running your little errands for your boss.” he whined out, lesser lip pushing further to show that cute little pout that he used to mock Mia when she was upset, nearly always resulting in a giggle.
{ ♡ };; “Mhm, I know. And when I have time Mia’s awake so I can’t really come over since…we don’t want her to get too used to me. Though that might be another point for the lawyer to why they’d let you have her.”, Zoe muttered, but quickly regretting it. This was not the time to talk about this. “But let’s not talk about this right now. I wanna enjoy the time we have together right now.”, she whispered, placing little kisses on his neck and then also on his chest. “I love you.”, she whispered, lifting her head and smiling at the boy.
