Knightly Taking what she said into consideration and the way she reacted to our situation , the probabilities are more than just a little high . I open up the app on my phone and scroll up the video of the little boy playing the quitar . I didn't get a good look at him at the airport because everything happened so fast and I was a little in awe about all of her . She looks amazing . The little pink outfit she was wearing hugged her body astonishingly . And the hair looks good . It frames her face into a perfect heart shape . I have to know . I open up the messages and text our manager . Me : I need the number of the new CEO of Royal Threads . Her name is Phoebe Altaha . Josh : U kno her ? Me . Yes . Josh : Give me a sec My heart starts to race again . Josh : best I can do is set up an appointment for Wednesday afternoon . Me : Fuck it . I'll take it . Josh : can I ask y ? u nvr ask 4 ( shit emoji) . Me : I'll tell u aftr I tlk to her Josh : 10-4 I screenshot the picture of the little boy and send it to my mom with no context . It doesn't take long for her to call me . " Who is that , carbon ? " she asks . " What did you do ? " " Oh , so I've been calling you for three days now and I send you a post of a kid and you ' re free ? " I scoff . " Como chingas , Knight , " she says playfully . " Sorry , I've been busy , " " I have the credit card bill to confirm that , " I laugh . " Como estas , chamaco enfadoso ? " " I'm okay . I'm home now . For a while . Fel is pregnant , " " Al fin , " she all but screams . " I am so happy for Rip . He's a good kid . No como mi chamaco cabrop " No network available now . Please check your network roogit : " I love you too , mom , moogi. now is Dad ! " He's your dad . He's on vacation , segun . Ya sabes como son los gringos . Will you be visiting soon ? When did you get here and why didn't you tell us you were coming ? " 1/4 " I've literally been calling you for three days , " I shake my head . " I would have gone home if I thought you were there . I'm here at Rip's place , " " Oh , pobrecito mi nino . Como sufre en Rip's two million dollar mansion , " she mocks me . " Pendejo . Thirty - two year old man child , " " This counts as verbal abuse , lady , " " this counts as vErBaL aBuSe , " she continues . " What you can't be alone in your own house or what ? " " Mom ," I groan . " Okay . Okay , I'll have your room cleaned in the morning . You could come home by yourself . You know that ? You don't need to be with your friends every single day . Get out of that routine . Clear your head , Mijo . You need this break . You've been on that bus for twelve years , Knight ," " Why does every conversation we have end like this ? " I sigh . " I worry about you . You're my baby , " " What have you been busy with , lady ? " " Vanessa and her new granddaughter ," she boasts . Vanessa is our former leading betal female . " Esta hermosa , " she says dramatically . " De quien is el nino , Knight ? " The new CEO of Royal Threads , " " Tiene tus ojos , " she says calmly . " You got something to tell me ?" " Maybe . Maybe not . I'm kind of freaking out , " " From the start , hijo , " " I met this girl at the BnB apartments when we started the Striker Tour . We spent the night together and this morning I ran into her and her two kids . The article says they're five and it fits the timeline , " " It doesn't necessarily mean they're yours , Knight . You know girls like that- " " No , she wasn't like that , " " You don't know that , mijo . You spent one night with her . Es todo . Hasta que hables con ella , get it out of your head ," " Look at the picture , Ma , and tell me you're not thinking about it , " " Pos si . I'm thinking about it , " she confirms . " Son dos ? " " Yeah , a little girl and the little boy , " " Aver la nina ? " I open the app up and find a picture of the two little kids and send it to her . " That's them , " " Wow ," she says pensively . " If they are yours , ya le gane a la Vanessa . I have two grandkids , " " Mom , " I laugh . " And if they are yours , Knight ? Que vas aser ? Is she human ? " " She is . I don't know , but I have to know . I mean it's a big coincidence , " You'd think she'd try to contact you right away . You were just starting six years ago , mijo . Pero ya estabas arriba , " " Like I said . I don't think she was the kind of girl that went around doing what we did , " Well , she did it with you . Come home . We'll figure this out , " " I'll see you in the morning , " " I found her on Twitter , " she sings . " Oh ," she says like she's been caught off guard . " She ' s a mean girl ," " A mean girl ? " " Si . She got a kid kicked out of school in France when he tried to steal the little boy's lunch . He scratched him . The mom said a bunch of racist shit to them for being American and she immediately pulled both of them out of school a week ago . She involved her lawyers ," she laughs . " They titled it Fashion Ikon met with discrimination against her son by a French Private school . The other says , Private School under scrutiny for discrimination against Phoebe Altaha and her son Aizen ," " That sounds provoked ," " At least she doesn't sound boring , " she laughs . " Your dad would have shut the entire school down the next day ." " Dad did shut the school down when Coach Estrada punched me in the face , " " Carbon , " she scoffs . " Don't get me mad . I'm on vacation , " " You should be mad , " " I already know you , Knight . You have your daddy's ugly fucking temper . You hide it better , pero eres igualito . Esta nina made a choice . A choice that benefited all of you . want you to think about that before you go in there accusing her of shit . All things considered , you can't blame her for it . " You're Knightly Blake . She doesn't know you . She knows what everyone else knows . You can't go in there like you own everything the way you usually do . She'll fight you . Orita son sus hijos de ella . You're just some guy she slept with when she was a stupid kid . Don't fuck this up , son . Listen to her . Si ? " " Yeah , " " Okay . Let me know if you need me . I'm on vacation , but I'm still your mama ," " Okay , ma . Gracias , " " Don't . Pinche no sabo cabron ," she groans and I swear I can see her rolling her eyes as dramatically as possible . " You're kind of forgetting you raised me , " I laugh . " Oh . So this is my fault ? Vas a ver estupido , she bites out . " I'll see you later , Ma , " " Bendiciones , mijo , she says . " Freddy ! " she shouts . " Your son fucked up! " " Mom ! " I call out but she hangs up . Telling my mom the truth feels like a guaranteed answer because even if Phoebe tells me I'm not their father for whatever reason she's convinced herself I didn't need to be a part of this . My mom will figure out the truth whatever means . Especially if she involves my father . My dad is all about family and even if we don't get involved , she's going to be a part of our family if they are mine . We have to know and we have to make sure no one gets that information . 4M
