Wing Of Change
Chapter 54

It was an awkward drive with Sandra seating in the passenger seat while dressed like a two penny stripper waiting by the side walk.

“Why do you have to go out dressed in this manner?” Frank had to ask out loud and earning himself an eye roll.

“In what manner?”

He couldn’t help but sigh in deeply.

“Look am not judging you okay? Am just trying to understand why you have to go out like this”

“How i choose to dress is non of your business and if you are tired of giving me a ride, just drop me after the next turn and you two can be on your way without having to deal with my presence any further” she snapped back at him and just continued chatting with her phone.

Only God knows who she was texting.

Frank would want nothing more than to get rid of her no doubt but he couldn’t excuse the fact that she was the mother of his kid and also worry about how her attitude would affect the little boy.

Frank couldn’t help but think, this might not be the first time.

“Do you do this often? Or today is the first?” He asked with a raised brow.

Frank was having a really hard time keeping his voice down as he repeatedly check the rearview mirror to make sure Daniel was doing okay back there while trying to keep his eyes on the road as well.

“What are you talking about?” Her brow raised at his insinuations.

“I don’t care what you do with your life because it’s non of my concern. What I do care about is our son! And it’s obvious you don’t care about him enough or you won’t be dressed like this”

“Pull over”

Frank only scoffed at her request as he continued to speed along.

“I said pull over right now before I do it myself” she threatened eyeing the hand brake dangerously.

“You wouldn’t dare” Frank had uttered in a low threatening voice after realizing where her eyes were fixed.

“Have it your way then”

She reached for the handle seating between them and it had the car coming to a screeching end before stopping abruptly.

“Are you crazy?” His hand was raised and ready to smack her hard but had to hold back.

She could be insane for all she knows.

“You are the one who is crazy and I have had enough of your judgemental attitude tonight”

She turned to Daniel and flashed him a little smile.

“I will see you soon okay Danny baby?”

“Okay mommy”

Her head snapped back at Frank with a murderous glare.

“If I see as much of a stretch on my son this time around. I will make sure that thing you call your girlfriend get twice of it” she warned.

She pulled the door open and stepped out and began to hurry away towards the eatery.

“Sandra! Come back here” Frank called as he chased after her.

She was almost at the door when he caught up with her and grabbed her by the arm before spinning her around to face him.

“What was that you just said to me back there about my girlfriend?”

“I just told you to keep my son safe that’s all” she snickered.

Frank was about to let go of her arm before she slipped and caught hold of his instead and while making sure she steadied herself properly, she reach back up and lock lips with him catching him completely off guard.

Frank had gone completely stiff as he stood with wide eyes and before he could snap out of it and push her away. He heard someone calling out his name.

Frank looked around and found Aria standing at the entrance with tears pooling in her eyes.

“Aria?” Her name escaping his mouth in a whisper.

“What, what are you doing here?”

He saw her lips part but no word made it out. And just about then, Henry walked out of the eatery about the same time with two foodie bags and stood beside her when he noticed the state she was in.

“Are you okay?” He heard him ask Aria but she gave no reply as her eyes were completely fixed on Frank.

Henry only had to follow the direction of her eyes to know what had gotten her in that mood.

“Did you call him?” Henry had asked in shock.

Aria gave no reply still which only prompted Frank to say his next word.

“Of course. I should have guessed. Your f*****g next door neighbour is here too. Why am I not surprised”

Frank scoffed at the turn of event which only triggered Aria to respond in anger.

“Not as surprised as I was seeing you lock lips with another woman. Oh let me rephrase that, your ex fiancée and the mother of your son” she countered back getting more angry with each passing second.

“No no no_ I didn’t lock lips with her. She did it” he quickly replied in his defense pointing his index at Sandra who only shrugged at his words when all eyes turned at her.

“You know what? Henry and I were just leaving so carry on”

Aria was about to walk past him but was pulled back by Frank’s hand holding onto her.

He took a deep breath to steadied his mind and a bit of his anger too before speaking to her again in a more calm voice.

“If you are going home then I will take you so we can talk about what you thought you saw earlier”

“No you won’t! I mean you can’t force her even though she is your girlfriend” Henry had to butt in before she could.

“You stay out of this because it’s none of your business”

Aria only pulled back her hands not too gently as she stepped away from Frank and fell back beside Henry.

“No! Henry is taking me” she threw a nasty glare at Sandra who was still planted beside Frank before adding..

“You take her”

She turned and hurried away leaving Frank to call after her.

“You should run after her you know? That guy might just win her over before she gets home”

Frank heard Sandra’s taunting words beside him as he turned and grab her arm not too gently.

“Are you happy now?”

“Don’t blame me okay? Is not my fault if she doesn’t believe you”

“This isn’t over you hear me?” He growled as he let go of her arm and just walked away.

“I’m sure it just got started”

Frank thought she heard her call after him as he hurried back to his car to replace Daniel sleeping again. He needed to talk to Aria as well as take Daniel home.

If only she had accepted to ride with him earlier.

Frank could only cuss at the fact that she went with Henry and not him as he took off towards his house instead
