gan's POV
I wanted to enjoy the family day as my son did, but how can I enjoy knowing Gael is still there? And I don't have peace of mind knowing he could ruin our day at any mont because jealousy consud him, and I don't know how to make him leave. We can't sit down far away from our son, and Ashton and I should join them at the table, and I can't stop myself from worrying as I looked at him carrying Axel on his lap.
How could he be insensitive? Gael knew I was in love with Ashton, yet he still wanted to have . I felt so glad Axel got off from Gael's lap, and he ca to his father. And as I watched Ashton having Axel on his lap made feel so happy, and I couldn't express the happiness that I felt as I looked at them, and I felt my body shiver when I saw the angry expression on Gael's face.
He was glaring at Ashton, and I wanted him to go ho. He should be happy for all of us, and I realized maybe it is about ti to end our friendship if he couldn't accept that Ashton will always be part of who I am.
"Ashton, you should co and play with us," I said the mont the host of the activity called the parents to join their kids to play the obstacle race, and the team who will get the lesser ti will automatically win the ga; I was horrified when Gael walk ahead of us towards the field.
"g, you should go and bring Axel; I can join you on the next ga; you can't tell Gael to back out now, I am sure he will get angry again, and he will not listen to any reason. And we don't know what he will do because I could tell his mind was clouded with jealousy." Ashton said while looking at Gael, and I couldn't disagree with him because I knew he had a point.
"Okay," I responded as I held Axel's hand, and I could see the excitent on our son's face, but his face fell when Ashton released his hand, and his father got down on his knees and faced him.
"Axel, you should play the first ga with your mom and your uncle Gael because they will disqualify us if I join you since the chanics of the ga would be parents and child; if I go there, you will have two daddy's," Ashton said, and Axel smiled at his father.
"Okay, dad, don't worry, I will do my best to win this ga so that you will be proud of ." He responded; Ashton bead at him as he ruffled Axel's hair.
"You have to rember, Axel, win or lose, I will always be proud of you, son." He declared, and Ashton kissed Axel's cheek, and I pulled our son with even if I wanted to be with Ashton, but I had to be with Axel.
The ga started, and it was fun, and I could feel the adrenaline rush, and I felt so nervous when it was Axel's turn to run. Still, I am impressed by my son's strategy, and he is fast, and I rembered his father. When I raised my head, I could see the proud look on Ashton's face, and I felt so happy the mont we finished ahead of everyone, and I was stunned when Gael hugged , and he pulled Axel to join us in a group hug.
I could feel my face pale as I realized what would be Ashton's reaction, and when I looked at our table, I only found Alice, and he was no longer there, and I couldn't take it anymore. I brought Axel with to our table, and I told Alice I would be having a word with Gael.
"Gael, I think it is better if you will go now. I feel so disappointed with you that you never listened to when I told you to go ho and take care of your bruises." I said right away the mont we were alone, and this ti I spoke with him near the parking lot, which is closer to the school's entrance, I will never make the sa mistake again; being alone with Gael in a room would not be a good idea.
"I am sorry, gan, I just wanted to be there for your son, and I know that I upset you, but I don't want trouble. I know that I hurt you because I injured Ashton, but to tell you honestly, I don't intend to hurt the man you love." He responded.
"But I couldn't stop myself because I felt so hurt and betrayed by you. I love you so much, gan, and I don't want to lose you. I am hurting, and I can't explain the pain I feel right now. And watching you being so intimate with each other is making crazy." He added, and I was stunned by his words.
"Gael, you know from the very start that I am in love with Ashton, and it never changed even how many years I have been hiding away from him. There is no mont in my life that I have forgotten about him," I said.
"And I am sorry if I could never love you back, but you have to listen to ; if you want us to remain friends, you have to respect my decision. And you should be the one who will feel happy for that I am now with Ashton." I added even if I felt so nervous, I had to do this, so he would stop with what he was doing to himself.
"I don't want to end our friendship, Gael, but you are scaring ; you are no longer the man I used to know. I don't want to feel scared when I am with you. And I don't like what I am feeling right now, and you should leave, Gael; if you still want to be your friend, then I hope you will listen to ." I added, and I could see the pain and anger on his face.
"I am sorry, I know I invited you to attend this family day without knowing you will cause trouble. My son invited his father. I didn't have any idea that Ashton would co, but you know, he is my boyfriend and Axel's father, and I apologize for saying this. Still, we are not in any romantic relationship, Gael, and you don't have the right to get jealous." I continued.
"If you continue to act that way, then I don't have a choice but to end our friendship. I can't serve two masters at the sa ti." I said, and his face fell.
"I am sorry, g, please don't end our friendship. I will go ho now, but you have to promise , nothing will change between us. You are too important to , and I can't lose you, gan." He said, and I could see the sincerity on his face, and I slowly nodded my head.
"Of course, you are also one of the important persons in my life, Gael, and your friendship ans a lot to ," I said, and he hugged , and I felt so glad it was only a quick hug, and I smiled at him, and I walked him to his car.
I released a sigh of relief when Gael drove away from the school parking lot, and I felt relieved when I saw Ashton's car; it ans he didn't leave the school. I searched around the area, and I smiled when I found him in the garden facing the fountain, he looked so handso, and I slowly walked towards him. And together, we walked back towards the venue of the family day.
I felt so glad the activity ended successfully; Alice went ho to her house, and we drove away from the school grounds feeling so happy, and we couldn't hide the smiles on our faces even if we were all exhausted from the gas. I smiled as I found out our little boy was sleeping in the back seat.
"Thank you, Ashton," I said as we were both lying on my bed after we tucked our son in bed, and this ti we didn't read him bedti stories since he felt so sleepy after eating our dinner.
"For what, gan?" He asked.
"For staying the night and for being so understanding," I replied.
"I already told you, g, I will do everything for
you and our son, and even if it will hurt . I know no matter how you will get angry with Gael, you can't just drive him away, and I respect that, and thank you that you asked him to leave instead of ." He responded while he cupped my face.
"Do you think I will do that for the second ti? I will never go the sa road again. I was miserable the first ti you clashed with Gael because I asked you to leave instead of telling him the truth." I declared.
"I could say I wasn't proud of my decision during that ti, Ashton, I was confused, and I didn't know how to tell Gael about us, and I admit I was a coward that I didn't fight for you that day. And I thought maybe you weren't serious, and you will hurt again, and I am afraid to lose Gael's friendship because of the debt of gratitude I owe him, but I realized I helped him with his career, and I am the person who was behind every success of his music." I added.
"Ashton, I am sorry; I allow Gael to sing the song I dedicated for you. I was hurt, and I hated you that ti; I was so young and so confused about what to do with my life; being pregnant at eighteen without a partner was so hard." I continued, and he put his finger on my lips.
"You don't need to say sorry, g. Besides, I know every song you created was for ." He said with a wide grin on his face.
"You are conceited, but I admit, yes, every ti I compose a new song, I can't stop thinking about my love for you, Ashton," I responded, and he pulled closer to him, and he captured my lips and made so breathless, and I felt so happy that I am in his arms.
