Alexa's Pov

Truth is he is being really nice yet really impassive. One minute, I find myself gathering courage to confess my changing feelings and another I am ready to slap him again, punch him or even kick him. He ordered us a dinner too and tried to talk to Austin. I was surprised to see him looking at Austin, then huffing and finally apologizing to a babbling baby.

"I am sorry for such mess. You have endured more than a baby should..." Blaze mumbled. At that Austin started blowing raspberries and Blaze frowned at him.

"He is spiting on me." Blaze whined and I couldn't hide my grin any longer

"You certainly deserve it." I assured mockingly

"He is a mama's boy for sure." Blaze mocked back eyeing his phone for the twentieth time

"He does not have a dad so he sure is a mama's boy." I blamed and silence echoed as my only answer.

Blaze went back to his phone, while I picked Aussie and started to read him a book. The annoying sounds of huffs and puffs played in matter of five minutes. Blaze has been doing so for long and I just couldn't handle it any longer. His reactions to her were breaking my cool facade and if I don't move away from him this night will certainly end with a fight or a rejected confession.

"Goodnight" I declared standing up and to my surprise Blaze mimicked me.

"But it is way too early for sleep." He groaned "you used to say that you are a night owl." he reminded

"I am tired" I lied displaying no emotions whatsoever

"You couldn't be. You took a long nap." he fired back

"Okay, I just don't want to sit here while you huff and puff about her." I finally acknowledged to him

"She is not picking up, that's it." He mumbled looking at the floor

"Well, I certainly do not care. I had enough drama for the day and wish you would keep your endeavors with her to your own self alone." I warned not wanting my heart to break again.

"You were cool with my endeavors before. They are one of our marriage deal's clauses." He fired back at me while his icy eyes connected with my brown ones.

"Let's just say that I am tired of all of this." I confessed and started marching to my own room with my idiotic husband following my lead.

"I did nothing wrong Alexa. You cannot be mad at me just because I want to meet Cynthia. She and I have a lot to talk about." he yelled managing to enter my room before the door closed

"I can never be mad at you. However, you can get angry and force kisses onto me." I sneered at him as I placed Austin on my bed

"I didn't force them." He argued walking closer to me

"One more step and I would kick you out." I threatened

"You kissed me back each time feverishly if I may say." He replied and an evil smirk was drawn on his lips.

"whatever sails your boat" I said in a dismissive manner trying to send him away

"Alexa, seriously you have to understand that Cynthia is important not just to me but also to Austin." He announced after a moment of uncomfortable silence

"Austin?" I kind of spat my possessive side now kicking in " Listen here Blaze, you maybe his biological father but Austin is my son. Just because you discovered that you are his dad hours ago does not give you the right to decide what's best for him. Cynthia brought him to the orphanage willingly. She and you , both, had no place for him neither in heart nor in life. You could have gone all your life not knowing him and your dear Cynthia was more than welling to sign all her rights to contact him off...She basically gave the title of being his mother, the second she signed those papers. You mister, cannot drag Austin into your game of seducing Cynthia back to you. He is only a little boy and having a two biological parents who hate him and won't even hold him can damage him forever...He deserve love and warmth...You , though, can go and beg all you want for your Cynthia. You deserve each other." I said seething with clear anger. With my last word out there, I finally faced Blaze. I am shorter than him but now I don't feel intimidated. I will forever stand tall and strong for Austin no matter what!

"That was hot..." was Blaze's only comment and stupidly those three words made me blush. God dammit, I wanted to prove a point and not to act like a silly girl with w crush.

"Shut it, Blaze! I mean each word. You may go and fight for Cynthia but don't bring Austin into your messes." I fired again but Blaze's gaze once again drifted to my lips and a shiver ran through me. I hate him and his effects on me.

"If I kiss you now would it forced and out of anger?" he questioned as his hands suddenly sneaked around my waist bringing me as humanly close as possible to him

"Blaze..." I spoke feeling unexpectedly out of breath. He started like always leaning down to meet my lips and my mind screamed to stop him but my body craved his lips more than anything...One more second and we would be locked in a lingering hot kiss again...One

"My phone!" Blaze cried hearing his phone ring and his breaths hit my face then sudden cold air enveloped me as he ran to his phone.

"Cynthia, please listen..." he started to plead with her and I did the one thing that could save my heart from breaking fully. I slammed the door harshly hoping that Blaze would get some kind of message but regretted my deed as soon Austin started crying

"I am so sorry Aussie. I am just a bit mad at him. He just left me there and went to pick up. I ran away but he followed me. I wanted distance to forget about these stupid feelings that I am having for him but no, he had to play hero and come to find us...Then Cynthia. This is way more dramatic than anything I had to go through before..." I apologized rocking Austin to sleep " I need to either confess to him or get a divorce." I mumbled to myself

"Lexi" My door opened again without my approval and Blaze stood smiling like a cherish cat

"Out" I hushed meanly at him hugging the sleepy figure of Austin

"I am sorry about the kiss. I just have good news. Cynthia agreed I am meeting her tomorrow." He said with the widest smile I have seen on his face all day.

"out" I repeated again feeling my heart finally shattering

"She said that you are welcome to join us and bring Austin." He offered ignoring me and I felt like throwing my pillow on him, does he enjoy my torture?

"I am meeting Théo tomorrow and you are welcome to join us." I fired back wiping that wide smile off of his face completely

"Why are you meeting him again?" Blaze hushed angrily as I laid Austin down

"Because I owe him a cup of coffee. He also wants to check on me and Aussie." I dared him seeing his eyes darkening a bit

"You are fine , both of you, he has nothing to check on." Blaze murmured getting closer to my bed

"We will let him decide that" I replied grabbing a near by book and continuing to read where I left it the last time.

"I am coming with you." He finally uttered making me laugh a little

"What about your beloved Cynthia?" I fired back and yet again silence invaded my room.

"Can't you go out with him another day?" He questioned freezing at the edge of my bed

"Can't you go out with her another day?" I questioned but preferring to say "never" on the inside

"She and I have a lot of things to fix." he argued back

"He and I have a lot of things to discover." I reasoned back

"Dammit, Alexa." He roared at me

"don't let the door hit you on the way out" I coldly answered his swearing and ignored him till he went out still huffing and puffing.
