The Escort Man's

SWEET

Rivera was enveloping Oscar and Peter, both asleep, when Jesslyn went into the room.

"Peter did not want to escape from the Oscar earlier," Rivera told Jesslyn.

"Are you still going, Miss Rivera?" Jesslyn asked as she looked at Rivera.

"Yes. But maybe the day after tomorrow, waiting for Peter's condition to be healthy," Rivera replied.

"Why?" Ask Jesslyn again.

"Because Peter and I have to go, Jess! I already told you my reason the other day, so don't ask again!" Rivera answered, turning his face away.

"Then what if Peter doesn't want to leave or move out of here?" Jesslyn asked again which immediately made Rivera look at the ten-year-old girl.

"Whatchu mean? Peter doesn't even know anything!"

"Indeed right! But it could be Peter's pain tonight because he doesn't want you to move out of here, Miss Rivera!"

"Don't you see Peter's closeness to Oscar. Peter didn't even want to get out of Oscar's arms. Then what happens if you take him away?" Jesslyn's cross momentarily made Rivera speechless.

"Peter will get used to it later!" Rivera answered at last who remained stubborn.

"By the way Peter and I have no reason to stay here, Jess-"

"What if that reason was me!"

"And Oscar was so close to Peter. Oscar has promised Paul to always look after you and Peter, Miss Rivera! So let Oscar run that Paul mandate!" Sergey Jesslyn followed stubbornly.

"Oscar has done really well over the last few months and I'm very grateful!"

"But now let me and Peter go and start our own lives because" Rivera did not continue his sentence and the woman's voice seemed choked.

"Because what?" Ask Jesslyn curiously.

"You don't want to be Mom for me anymore? Or you won't let Peter feel the affection of a Dad from Oscar."

"Of course I want to!" Sergeh Rivera fast.

"I'd also like to give Peter a complete family like you've always wanted, Jess!"

"Then why do you still want to leave and not choose to stay here with me and Oscar?" Jesslyn asked, her eyes already glazed over.

"Because I can't stay with a man without any ties. I open that kind of woman!" Rivera answered almost without a sound. The woman came out of the room, leaving Jesslyn with tears in her eyes. But Jesslyn wiped it off quickly, and the girl looked at Oscar who seemed to be sleeping while hugging Peter.

"You should've listened to all that, Osh!" Jesslyn was upset at Oscar who didn't even move a bit .

Basic sucks!

The sleepyhead!

Insensitive!

Jesslyn finally came out of the room, and closed the door.

A moment of silence in the room, before Oscar finally opened his eyes.

"I heard it all" murmured Oscar as he rubbed Peter's still-sleeping cheek.

"I heard it all, Jess!" Repeated Oscar again who has changed to look fixed on Peter's face.

"Hi, Champ! You mind if I become Dad for you?

****

"Where are you taking Peter, Jess?" Rivera asked as Jesslyn pushed Peter's pram into the porch. Peter is healthy and happy again. And Rivera remained on his decision to go to his hometown. Tomorrow Rivera and Peter are leaving.

"Just take a walk!" Jesslyn answered along with Oscar who had just arrived home, after the man had finished taking the students home.

"Hi, Peter!" Oscar greeted Peter and took the baby for a little chat.

"You're late to go home!" Jesslyn rebuked Oscar with Jesslyn's infuriating tone.

"I have business," replied Oscar reasoned.

"What business?" Ask Jesslyn kepo.

"Said you were taking Peter for a walk?" Instead of answering Jesslyn's question, Oscar switched the conversation. Princess Oscar was clucking.

"Let's go for a walk, Peter!" Invite Jesslyn to finally push back Peter's baby carriage and pass from the face of Oscar. While Oscar continued to enter the house, and greeted Rivera who had arranged some of his luggage near the door.

"Yes!"

"Just be prepared so that tomorrow no one is left behind" Rivera explained without a single look at Oscar.

"You sure you want to really go, Rivera?" Ask Oscar again who is still in his place.

"Yes! It's been my decision, Oscar!" Rivera replied, staring firmly at Oscar. For a while, Oscar and Rivera's gazes clashed with each other. The two just kept quiet, until without Rivera noticing, Oscar had suddenly clasped his hand.

"Don't go and stay here, Rivera!" pinta Oscar suddenly clasped Rivera's hand.

Rivera tries to get his hands off Oscar's. But it seemed like the man was stubborn and did not want to let go of Rivera's hand.

"What do you mean say that?" Rivera did not understand. But instead of answering Rivera's question, Oscar bent one leg, then knelt in front of Rivera. The man also took out something from his pants pocket that resembled a.....

The ring?

"I'm not a good guy. My past is so shameful and perhaps disgusting."

"But I promised myself I'd start to change. I promised Paul I'd always take care of you and Peter-"

"You did it!" Rivera.

"No! Listen to me first!" Oscar took a deep breath and reassembled the suddenly messy words in his head.

"Jess wants a family and you want to give a family to Peter. You already think of Jess as your daughter and I already think of Peter as my son. So why don't we just get married and become parents to Jess and Peter?" Oscar stared fixedly at Rivera.

"Marriage isn't that simple, Osh! Not just because you want us to be parents to you, Jess and Peter, and then we can get married"

"I know!" Sela Oscar fast.

"Marriage needs love" continued Oscar who remained fixedly staring at Rivera.

"And I've fallen in love with you, Rivera!" Oscar said with a real face.

"I've fallen in love with you" repeated Oscar once more as if to reassure Rivera.

"Will you marry me, Rivera Oliver?" Said Oscar who finally threw the proposal sentence to a woman.

Rivera covered his mouth with a palm and felt disbelief because in the end, Oscar completely violated his own principles and beliefs regarding marriage.

"You want to marry me and be my wife, right?" Ask Oscar again who is still waiting for answers from Rivera.

Rivera did not answer a word. But the woman's nod of the head was more than enough for Oscar to instantly wrap the ring around Rivera's ring finger.

The first ring that Oscar bought from his own sweat and now he gives to an extraordinary woman, who has made him fall in love.

Oscar stood up again, and his hand held Rivera's hand.

"Yes" said Rivera, who finally answered Oscar's proposal. The woman was finally able to reopen her voice after she was at a loss for words.

"You want to marry me, Rivera Oliver?" Oscar repeated his proposal

"Yes!" Rivera replied slightly blushing.

Oscar immediately cupped Rivera's face, then fused his lips with Rivera's lips, until a deheman shocked them both.

Jesslyn was standing in the doorway holding Peter.

"Sweet proposal" praised Jesslyn who apparently witnessed the moment of Oscar's proposal to Rivera earlier.

"Congrat, Dad!" Jesslyn said next as she stared deeply at Oscar who instantly scooped the girl into his arms.

Oscar is at a loss for words when he hears Jesslyn calling herself Dad.

Yep!

Oscar is Dad from Jesslyn and Peter now.
