Chaptertwo

Two hours passed, Liam hasn't returned for the meeting."Are you waiting for my dad?" I took heed of a child's voice, I turned back to see a little boy clutching a ball in his hand, he had curly hair and brown colored eyes.

"Hello child,  yes, I am! Do you know where he is?" he walked closer to me, "I think he must be in his room, should I call him?".  He said.

I shook my head disliking his idea, "don't call him, I'll wait" I smiled.

"Okay! While waiting, do you wish to play football with me?". He threw away the ball at me, riding out of the room.

"Hold on champ"

He snatched me outside, aiming to catch the ball, "what are you waiting for! Toss the ball". His voice attained his father's attention, as he caught a glimpse of us playing from his room window.

We both played to a notch I forgot I had an interview with his father, I swirled back to see the same person I thought of, standing behind with his arms folded together.

Holy moly, father of all, I am in deep trouble.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me" he gets provoked.

"Yes sir! But I only wanted to play football with champ here". I answered back.

Liam whirls to the side and saw the boy I called champ, he looked at me and said, "you mean Andres! My son".

"Yes Sir, your son" I duplicated back his words to him, and he detonates a weak smile right back.

The smile he had on made me perplexed, he veers his back. "Walk with me". He says.

I walked rearward as we step back into the house.

Liam's switched on his serious face, we quietly walked without altering a word to me, he rumbled a particular song, shaking his head, finally, he repaid his attention to me, "I am sorry for taking much of your time! I had to take care of some pending issues" we continued walking.

"Yes sir! So can we proceed with the interview?". I said idling for his response,  he halts reading the look on my face, "there is no need for the interview! I have gotten what I wanted". He announces

"Gotten what you wanted? I don't think I understand what you mean by that?". Liam ran a check on me before answering back, "now let me break it down for you, the whole reason is to find someone that would be able to take care of my son when I am not around, and for the past three weeks, you're the only person my son, took a liking too, that beats it all!".

"Hmm!" I shook my head understanding his words.

An hour later, he ambled with me to the front door, he pushed it open and turned to me, "thank you and welcome to my family, so! Tomorrow I'll be expecting you".

"Yeah" I rode past him, wearing a smile.

10:09 pm

I got back home tired and reeking of alcohol, urgh! My head continued spinning, it felt like the whole world was crumbling down on me, and I needed to have a rest, I couldn't think of anything else.
