Chapter 127 - 124 (1/2)

Rose had come in three days back to New York and everyday stood outside Xavier's school waiting for him to come to school. She would wait to just get a glimpse of Xavier and would be happy with that.

First day Julius came to drop the boys, second day EJ came and today it was Ermanno.

Rose was standing near the play ground in the entrance of the school and didn't notice Ermanno approach her.

”Rose” called Ermanno and Rose stood frozen in her place.

She slowly turned and looked at Ermanno.

Ermanno was so happy to see Rose that all he wanted was to hug her tight and kiss those beautiful juicy lips.

He was smiling with all the happiness but suddenly stopped after realisation hit him.

”Rose what are doing here near Xavier's school?” Asked Ermanno.

Rose had tears in her eyes seeing Ermanno after so many years but was hurt that his prospect for her had not changed even after so much time had passed.

”I-i came to New York few days back to meet Thomas and his son. I won't be staying for long or be attending Caleb's birthday party or intended to meet Xavier and definitely didn't intend to take him or anything. I just wanted to see him. Now that I have seen him. I don't want anything more” said Rose.

Ermanno looked towards where Xavier was playing and saw Xavier and few of his friends looking at him.

Ermanno smiled and looked back at Rose and said ”would you like to meet him?”

Rose had wide eyes listening to what Ermanno said.

”I don't want to confuse him” said Rose.

”He is old enough to understand our situation” said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Xavier's direction and said ”I would love too. Oh wait, do I look okay?”

Ermanno smiled and said ”you look as usual. Ugly”

Rose narrowed her eyes at Ermanno and though it had been 4 years Ermanno had seen Rose, she still looked adorable. Just like the first day he met her, thought Ermanno.

Ermanno entered the gate with Rose.

Only parents of the students were allowed in the school gate.

Ermanno told the guard that Rose was Xavier's mother and the guard was aware of who Ermanno was so he let them in.

Xavier saw them approach and his friends and classmates gathered around him.

Ermanno looked at all the kids and said ”hey guys. I heard you tease my son saying that he doesn't have a mother, right?”

All the kids looked around and mummers start.

A teacher appears close to them and smiled at Ermanno.

Ermanno smiles at the teacher and says ”I was just introducing Xavier's mother to everyone”

Xavi had open mouth looking at Rose.

Rose looked at Xavier and smiled.

Xavier had seen Rose's picture in Ermanno's room and Sabrina had given him Rose's picture to keep.

Sabrina didn't want Xavier to not recognise Rose when he met her.

Sabrina would tell him about Rose many times during his bedtime story.

”You are so beautiful” said Romeo.

Rose smiled.

”Where have you been?” Asked Raffaele.

”It's a secret but I can tell you if you don't tell it to anyone else.” Said Ermanno squatting down.
