AM DYING ANITA

While Dean was busy with his emotions and the spy at school, Anita, was looking at two August visitors Mrand Mrs Cole, well Mrs Cole was Adline by name. She did well enough to offer them a seat and a glass of water. The three sat staring at themselves,  smirking and sipping water from the glass , the August visitors could notice how She stared at them in return they smiled .

"You two know you don't owe me anything right?"  Anita broke the silence

"I know Anieta.." Mr Cole said

"It's Anita Cole.... A-N-I-T-A!" she interrupted

"Okay Auhnita"

"British, here I was thinking you were Americans" Anita rolled her eyes

"Oh yea we are British, living in America but here for so many reasons"Adline smirked

"Anita, please I want to be part of my son's life, you know he doesn't deserve to live like a Bastard"Mr Cole said

"Watch your tongue Mr Cole , don't call my son a Bastard , we used a condom that night,you are not even sure he is yours" Anita clicks tongue

"Oh..already ran a DNA test on him;Mr Cole laughed

"It's funny to you abi?"

"Look Anita, According to the way the story goes, my husband had affair only for a night with you,not like you were lovers, I can't imagine how you felt finding out you were pregnant, giving birth to the child and realizing it's my husband's baby, you didn't stop at that, you took care of him for seventeen years. But the truth is no one hurt the other, I was the only one hurt, probably my kids too, but I want the kid to know his father, I want him to know he has a great man for a biological father, please" Adline pleaded

"Am not the problem here" Anita paused

"You and I know one-day the boy will look for his father in the process of trying to find out who he is, and get twisted in your past.when you try to find yourself,you don't know how the world runs when it comes to you trying to find out who you are, the boy will suffer Anita" Adline sighed

A horn was heard at the door.  Anita swallowed hard,He son was back firm school, a bad timing for her. she stood by the window looking confused like she had messed with timing or something. she should have called Jerry to give him a clue at least ,but what was the use ? They barely spoke to each other since after the incident and He only muttered to pick Dean from school.

Dean bashed into the house all red by the eye bags and swollen face, His mother knew that look she had seen it when he cried or had a temper run . Jerry followed from behind like a muscled body guard with a DJ Khaled shaved style beard, He shut the door afterwards. When Dean saw the visitors seated, paused for a while then gave a smirk and crooked chuckle,  no one had to tell him who the man was. He sucked his lips ignoring the worried look on his mother's face, she had come so close to him, held his chin and looked into his eyes she gestures to Jerry who in response shrugged.

"Hi!" Adline waved to call a little attention

"Oh sorry" Anita rescutated

"Mr Cole, Ma'am Adline, meet the him and hmm...my " Anita introduced

"Fiance ...and your fiance" Jerry smirked

"Yea, my fiance and my son" Anita smiled

"Hi Dad" Dean thought

"Shit!crazy in the head"Dean spoke out loud

"You okay?" Adline asked

" Yea ma'am..." He said

"My bad ,Dean meet Mr...."

"Yea!...hi Mr Cole" Dean stretch out his hands for a handshake,a little hesitation and excitement Mr Cole responded

"Humph...did you get into a fight or what?" Anita cleared her throat

"NOT really a fight máá" Dean heaved a sigh

"It wasn't serious, just a car incident.." Jerry raised a brow, Anita frowned at the Coles

"Someone pissed me off, lucky my máá didn't raise a gangster" Dean said as He headed to his room

"I raised a good boy" Anita smiled hard

"Are you British?" Dean turned to ask...Adline poute

"Alright then , am off" He added

"Wash up love, will see you when am done"

Leaving the adults Dean felt weird, He couldn't tell if He was excited or nervous,  probably anxious... Did he just meet with his father?, no one needed to tell him it was his father, He had done some investigating as well from his mother's drawers . He entered his room,headed straight to the bathroom to have a look at himself in the mirror. Of course, He had plans to look for His old man,  probably in the future but at the moment he wasn't sure if he wanted to know more about the old man his mother barely talked about.

Dean moved closer to the Mirror, paused and began to feel his skin, He was always called the White boy at most intervals especially at school,

"they're both pale skinned" Dean said to himself

While her son had his mind questioning him ,Anita, had to clear things up with the visitors, Her son needed her

"I know it's a hard decision for you to make Anita"Adline clicked tongue

"no,you are not getting anywhere near him, He is my son, I bore him, and I did everything I had to do to keep him alive for seventeen years,and am still going to do more" Anita assured

"look, We not taking him away, am not taking him away from you, I just know he doesn't deserve to live without knowing his father" said Mr Cole

"My son already has a father" Anita crooked

"he does?" Jerry asked observing himself

"Please, Anita!, I can't die like a this..knowing I have a child who barely knows me, he is my responsibility, he needs to know his father."Mr Cole begged

"I have watched my son from afar, I need to meet him close by , maybe hear him call me Dad or father or papa" Cole paused

"Illegitimate son"

"illegitimate or not... He is still my Goddam son!!"Mr Cole gritted, trying to hold back a little roar

"What?, you want to yell at my face?!" Anita stood

"Don't, please don't honey"  Adline shook head

" I have few fucking months to live!!! am not a bad father, I messed up as a husband too...but at the end of the day, I love my family...and that boy is my family...am dieing Anita!!! am sick!!!!!"  Mr Cole gritted, Adline made efforts to calm. she didn't need to because the silence settled it.
