Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Little Sam rooted in his place with a pale face as Katherine never yelled at him after his birth. His eyes filled with tears. 

On hearing Katherine's yelling, Martin came to her room in no time. He was startled to see her angry face then he noticed the bracelet lying on the floor but not damaged.

" Kathie … Are you out of your mind? Why are you shouting at the little one? " Martin interrupted and picked Sam in his arms as he started walking properly for the last two days due to Thomas treatment.

Then he continued, "I have been observing you for a few weeks, you are looking disturbed. If you are not in proper state, I could have spend time with him"

He left the room with Sam in his arms. Little Sam placed his hands around Martin's neck. He took into his room and placed him on his lap. 

" Little champ...don't be sad. We will play together…" Martin said to make him feel better.

" Uncle Martin, Is that thing so precious to me that Mumma shouted at me?" Little Sam asked him innocently.

Katherine heard his question standing outside Martin's room. She felt immense pain in her heart to hurt his son. 

" No...dear. She was upset about something. So she showed her anger on you. Do you know ...the person shows anger on their loved ones. As your Mumma loves you so much she shouted at you. " He explained to Martin.

Katherine left for her room silently. 

….

A few minutes later, she prepared his favorite food for lunch for Sam and went to feed him by taking a plate of food to Martin's room. But Little Sam refused to eat the food which she took to him. 

" I am sorry...please eat this food. I will never shout at you" Katherine pleaded him. Martin also pleaded to eat food.

Finally, Little Sam ate the food she prepared for him. When she was leaving the room, Little Sam stopped her and asked, " Mumma ….Do my Daddy left us as you shouted at him?" 

She never prepared to answer this sort of question to Sam. Without giving a reply, she left the place with tears in her eyes. She didn't come out of the room and slept while weeping. 

Around 4 in the afternoon, Ruby returned from her friend's house. She saw Katherine sleeping on the bed. She doesn't want to disturb her as it was rare she used to sleep in the daytime. 

She checked the time and thought to get ready. She had been trying to think of something to wear since she woke up that morning. She had to go out, pretend to be excited about dinner, and not be scared off. Steven was the one to pick up Ruby for dinner. It was a dinner date. One that wasn't planned by her. She was happy to go on the date with him even if it was for just one night.

She was wearing a simple and sexy pink dress that she swore she saw on one of the fashion shows on tv, it was a little long in the bottom for a certain body's shape, but it still looked good on her.

Just in time, she got a call from Steveb. He informed that he was waiting for her out of her house.

Ruby's head was pounding as she walked out of the house. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. The night was about to begin. She had to be calm to start with. She couldn't go in there with her head thrown back and her heart racing.

The night was going to be okay.

She was about to turn the corner when she heard a voice. It sounded like Steven's. She looked up and saw him and she was taken back by how handsome he looked in a black suit. He looked so tall. He seemed to tower above her simply by standing there. He was so handsome she couldn't help but blush. She blushed when she saw his smile too.

They both looked at each other for a moment but Steven broke the silent eye contact first. He walked over to the car. He opened the door for her. She got in, feeling a little awkward but she forced herself to smile at him. She was so nervous she had to concentrate on her own hands. She couldn't, however, take her eyes off of him.

The ride was quiet for a few moments, they both stared at each other for a few more seconds. Then Steven spoke, "Nice outfit. You look very beautiful." His voice sounded cultured, educated, the same voice he used to talk to her on the phone.

"Th-thank you," She stuttered, her hands started to shake. 

"Where are we going ?" she asked.

"The place where I would get my dinner always," he replied.

"Oh," Ruby said, suddenly feeling a little bit less nervous.

They both fell silent for a few moments. Then she spoke again. 

"Is this place?" She asked. "This looks so cute!" Ruby's eyes were wandering as she spoke.

Steven chuckled.

 "Yes, this is the place where we can view the city in the night light. I like open space restaurants with fresh air and the food is also delicious, ``he answered. She was surprised at how he sounded genuine.

"It's fantastic," Ruby said, trying to smile.

They both looked at each other again, this time Ruby was the one to break eye contact first. She looked down at her hands, at her nails, trying to distract herself. She tried to stop looking up but she couldn't.

"Are you feeling cold?" Steven asked. He took a step forward. He was now standing very close to her. He had his arm around her shoulder.

Ruby could feel the warmth of his body and she could feel something else. She was feeling incredibly attracted to him.. She was too embarrassed to tell him that at the moment.
