Wing Of Change
Chapter 53

Ever since the incident that happened with Daniel, Sandra has made sure to keep her son away from anything that has to do with Aria. She was either around to keep an eye on him or she won’t let him close to her at all.

Frank on the other hand was starting to have this growing need to be with Daniel and for that reason, He too was starting to spend time with Sandra without even realizing it.

Frank has somehow managed to get her to agree to allow him have Daniel over at his place at least once or twice in a week.

After closing from work that Friday. He decided to dropped by at Sandra’s apartment to pick Daniel just as he had promised.

He has been there a few times so he knows the route by heart. The door was wide open when he arrived and after knocking with no reply, he let himself in.

The living room look pretty disorganized with toys littered all around on the floor and trailing to the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

Very typical.. He thought to himself as he even ran over some by mistake.

He decided to pick them up to avoid stepping on another while calling out to Sandra.

“Hellooo? Sandra? Daniel?Anyone home?” He called even louder.

He got no reply and after another whole minute of waiting_he took out his cellphone and dialled her number only to have it ringing from the next sofa.

Sandra’s phone was there so she was definitely home as well.

But where is Daniel…

He caught sight of the photo frames hanging on the wall as he walked towards the one with Daniel when he was an infant. The little boy was smiling back at him as he stood staring at the frame with a smile of his own.

Daniel looked not older than a month or two with chubby cheeks and deep brown orbs for eyes.

He was a cute little kid.

His mom was right. Daniel looked just like him when he was at his age.

He felt a sting in his heart and knew what was causing it. He remembered how his father was with him when he was just a boy and couldn’t believe he almost missed that part of his son’s life.

His consolation was in the fact that_he was there now and he was going to make it work as a good father should even if it’s to spend little time with him whenever he can. He will make it work still.

Frank was so lost in thought that he didn’t realized Sandra had walked into the living room and was now watching him as well.

“I didn’t hear you come in, how long have you been waiting?”

The sound of her voice jolted Frank a little as he turned around to face her only to realize the petty state she was in.

Half naked if he was to define it…

She had just one towel that barely covered half her length hanging loosely around her curvaceous body with droplets of water still dripping down her fair skin.

“Not long ago. The door was open so I let myself in” he gestured towards the door as he explained calmly not paying attention to those slender legs of hers.

“I was in the shower” she uttered in a nonchalant way before walking around to grab her phone from the sofa while making sure to put extra effort to swaying her h**s.

“I figured you were” replied Frank as his eyes darted from her and wandered a bit before settling on her face.

“Where is Daniel? Am here to get him as promised”

“Daniel is sleeping” she said simply.

“I will just have to carry him without waking him up” he reasoned.

She answered with a careless shrug.

“Do make yourself at home while I go put some clothes on and get his bag pack”

Frank made his way to the opposite sofa after throwing her a quick glare of course.

She would have done that sooner.

***

Sandra took a while to get ready as she took more than thirty minutes to get everything ready as well as getting Daniel to wake up.

Daniel was happy to see his father when he finally did and saw him seating over there with a contagious smile that proves that he was really there.

“Dad?” He asked in disbelief while taking slow steps towards his direction.

“Hey Daniel”

Frank reached for the little boy who was still rubbing the dizziness from his eyes as he took slow steps towards him.

“Yes buddy”

“You came to pick me?”

“Uhm-mm..i already talked to your mom so you are spending the weekend with me”

“Yes…yes!”

“Good…as soon as your mom comes out with your bag pack,we will be on our way”

“Okay”

Daniel ran back into the room leaving Frank to stare after him.

He fish for his phone from his inner breast pocket and punch the only number that was on speed dial as he waited for response.

He only spoke with Aria in the morning and up until that moment she hasn’t message him as usual as he was beginning to wonder what she could be up to as he sat there waiting.

Frank redialled her line a few times but she still wasn’t picking up and just about then, Sandra came out looking like a night stripper.

She was dressed in a ripped black jean and a see through chiffon top that barely covered her belly button.

“I’m going to follow you two so you can drop me off at the mall. My car has been malfunctioning since morning so I can’t risk it”

She explained before Frank could ask her where she was headed and dressed like that.

“Dressed like that?”

“Dressed like how?” She countered back looking back at herself. And very much ready to fight whatever comes out of his mouth next.

Frank only shrugged in reply as he turned to pick up Daniel’s bag from the floor before guiding him towards the door.
