New Life : A Second Chance 691 Dealing With The Problem

Kyle and Sayuri continued to discuss the matter over the night. They knew that it would Kyle Junior would inevitably be hurt, and hurt badly. The only question was, how to deal with the hurt?

The next morning, when Junior was coming out of dreamland, he felt that the bed he was on was rather lumpy. Yet, for some strange reason, it was quite comfortable. Slowly blinking his eyes open, he gasped and quickly clasp his lips tightly together.

He was sleeping on his father.

They were still on the sofa, though this time, his father was lying down while he was sprawled on his father's chest, and had used the crook of the arm as a pillow.

"You're awake?" came his voice from above.

Junior slowly looked up, to see him looking down on him kindly.

He felt ashamed.

Last night, he had actually thrown a tantrum upon seeing the cozy apartment. An apartment for a nice, small family. There was even a bedroom for a child, which hit Junior quite badly.

His dream of his father getting back together with his mother shattered then and he was very upset. He had always tried to be a big boy, like what his grandpa told him to be. To take care of his mother but he had utterly failed this time.

Junior nodded.

Kyle patted the boy on the back and slowly got up, cradling him a bit until he got to his feet. 

"Go and wash up," Kyle instructed, "Your change of clothes and toiletries are all in the bathroom."

Junior didn't answer and went to do as instructed.

Inside the bathroom, he saw a T-s.h.i.+rt, underwear, and pants. There was also a small-size toothbrush, obviously for him. A step-stool at the sink, as well as one at the toilet. There were anti-slip mats all over.

Tears started forming on Junior's eyes and his chest felt painful. 

He knew that these things were placed here for him. He had been to other people's houses before and it had always been difficult for him since everything was adult size. When he thought about it, it had already been here when he came over last night and used the toilet.

But he had been too upset to notice.

He had felt like he was an outsider, and an unwanted child. All his life, he had been looking forward to meeting his father. His mother always told him about his father and how great he was.

He would get his mother to read the Financial Magazine that detailed his father's life to him every night. He would watch John Wick 4 over and over again, and got his mother to tell him how they met. 

It was his ultimate dream to be just like his father. 

So, to have him say he wasn't made him upset. To follow him home, made him happy. To see that there was no place for him in this house, made him upset. The roller-coaster of emotions got too much for him.

However, finding that he had slept on his father the whole night made him content and happy beyond belief.

Perhaps, he wasn't unwanted?

Junior quickly stepped on the step-stool and started brus.h.i.+ng his teeth.

Sayuri watched as Kyle stretched, getting the kinks out after sleeping on the sofa. He was s.h.i.+rtless and she could see his muscles rippling as he moved. She turned to look away, her face slightly red.

No matter how long it had been, or how often she had seen (and touched) it, that sight never failed to turn her on. This 'no-s.e.x' rule was as hard on her as it was on him. She walked to the kitchen, shaking her head.

Kyle watched her go and sat down on the sofa. His morning wood was as troublesome as it always was and seeing her in the morning made it doubly so. With her sleepy eyes and bed hair, she looked so enticing and s.e.xy. Kyle groaned softly, hitting himself on the head.

If it wasn't for the fact that only Sayuri triggered him like this, he would be thinking he had a s.e.x addiction. He found his thoughts would often be filled with a certain someone, in a certain position, in various locations … he shook his head.

Maybe he really did need some help. This couldn't be normal.

Yet, when Samantha had come bouncing over to him, offering herself and her two watermelons at him, he hadn't been attracted or affected at all. Even if he did agree that he wouldn't sleep around, it shouldn't mean that he couldn't get attracted to other girls, right?

Was he abnormal after all? This was too difficult for him to understand so he did what he always did. 

Ignored it.

Other than having to work hard at resisting, it wasn't much of a problem and it didn't affect anyone else. So he pushed it to the back of his mind and concentrated on what was the real issue here.

Handling Kyle Jr.

The first thing he and Sayuri agreed upon was to make him understand, and feel, that he was loved. Kids who were adopted, or when their parents separated, tend to feel that it was their fault. That is, they were not loved and abandoned, or it's because of them that one parent would go away. 

From their conversations with Junior, they could tell that Junior did not have any of those negative feelings. Other than this lie that both had been under, Samantha had raised the boy very well. The sense of 'not being loved' wasn't there and Samantha constantly a.s.sured him that Kyle loved him - he just didn't know about him. 

Thus, they had to tread carefully when revealing the truth. 

Derek would be coming by later to start the ball rolling. The first thing to reveal was that Samantha was sick. 

Kyle was not looking forward to that.
