My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



Montez was just a child. What would he know? How could she have asked him that?

Yesseca quickly said, "Montez, just pretend I didn't say that. I shouldn't have asked you that,"

Montez was quiet.

Just then, a woman's gentle voice called out, "Montez, something's happened in class. Can you come out for a moment?"

Qiana was standing at the door of the dance hall.

Montez was surprised. "What is it, Ms. Qiana?"

Qiana gently called him over, "Come over here,"

Yesseca, who was still embarrassed, said, "Montez, you should go back to your class. I should go,"

Qiana then said, "It's nothing much, he'll be back shortly. Please wait for a moment, Miss Cowell,"

Montez added, "Don't leave yet, Yesseca. Wait for me. Ms. Qiana gave me some delicious chocolate today. I'll bring some for you later,"

Qiana had given him some chocolate that morning. It was very delicious. Montez only ate half of it and placed the other half in his school bag. He was going to finish the rest of it when he

got home.

Now that Yesseca was here, he was definitely going to share it with her.

Seeing how excited Montez was, she could only comply.

Qiana brought Montez back to the classroom.

It wasn't a big deal. Montez's pile of blocks had been knocked down by another child.

Montez waved his hand magnanimously. "It's fine, Ms. Qiana. I won't get into a fight with these children."

Qiana laughed, "You're a kid yourself,"

Montez said seriously, "Although I am the same age as them, I am much more mature than them. I'm very different, Ms. Qiana,"

Having said that, Montez went to his school bag and took out his half- eaten chocolate bar. "I'm going to share this with Yesseca. Ms. Qiana, you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course not." Qiana smiled warmly and said, "I brought that for you, so you can share it with anyone you want, ok?" Qiana then asked casually, "Is there a reason why she came to see you?"

"It's no big deal," Montez replied. "She came to see me because she was thinking about me." "Oh, I see. I thought she was here to ask you for something, because I noticed she looked quite anxious on her way in," Qiana mentioned casually.

Montez stopped and thought about what Qiana had just said.

"Yesseca did ask me a very strange question."

"Oh, tell me about it." Qiana had a gentle expression on her face.

She already knew what the question was, because when Yesseca and Montez were talking inside the hall, she was listening behind the door and heard everything.

"Yesseca asked me if there were a lot of women around daddy, and if he was nice to all of them." Montez's large, black eyes widened. "Why did Yesseca ask me this question?"

Qiana thought about it for a moment before lightly patting Montez's head. "Montez, it looks like your daddy is going to become your rival in love." Montez was stunned.

Although he was still a child, he was very smart. However, when Qiana mentioned this, he felt incredibly hurt.

Montez was about to cry. "Ms. Qiana, there's no way. How could Yesseca ever like daddy? Daddy is an old man. Yesseca adores me, and she doesn't like daddy. That would be impossible."

Qiana knelt down and said, "Montez, I didn't say that was true. Maybe she's just thinking about it. After all, your daddy is very handsome and tall. When your dad came to pick you up last time, all the little girls in the kindergarten said that your daddy was very good-looking. You just didn't notice,"

Montez recalled that incident.

The last time Tremaine came to the kindergarten to pick him up, the little girls in the class were very surprised to see him. The very next day, they came up to him to ask about his daddy's star sign and his birth date. There was even a little girl who said that when she grew up she would become his stepmother.

Montez was shocked to hear her say that.

He felt that all those little girls were being very superficial. What was there to love about his daddy anyway? He was nothing but a grumpy monster, but now Yesseca was acting the same way.

Montez began to panic.

He looked at Qiana and said, "Ms. Qiana, what should I do? I can't let daddy steal Yesseca from me. Daddy is so fierce and old, he will bully her all the time. Only I can take good care of her,"

Qiana patted Montez's head, "Don't worry. I'll think

of something for you."

Yesseca waited in the dance room for quite some time, but Montez still hadn't returned. As she was about to head over to his classroom to find him, he suddenly returned.

Montez was holding his half- eaten bar of chocolate in his hand. He looked very dissapointed.

As he looked at Yesseca, he handed the chocolate in his hand to Yesseca. "Here, have some chocolate Yesseca. You can have the other half of my chocolate bar."

Yesseca put the chocolate bar away. "Thank you, Montez."

"You're welcome." Montez smiled at her.

The smile was obviously a forced one. He looked like he wanted to cry.

Yesseca looked at him quietly.

She asked, "Montez, are you ok? You don't look very happy to be here. What happened?"

Montez pursed his lips. "Some clumsy kid knocked over my building blocks."

Yesseca laughed, "I see, that's alright. Since you like playing with those blocks, I'll build something with you next time,"

"Really?" Montez asked.

Yesseca nodded. "Of course."

Montez's usual happy and energetic self returned in that split-second.

He then said, "Yesseca, you asked me earlier if my daddy had a lot of women around him,"

Yesseca's heart skipped a beat.

She said dryly, "I... I just thought I'd ask in passing. Don't take it so seriously, and please don't tell your daddy,"

"I won't tell daddy." Montez suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Yesseca, I'll tell you a secret,"

"Oh."

"Come closer."

Yesseca knelt down and placed her ear close to Montez's lips.

Montez then said, "Yesseca, the truth is, my daddy is a playboy,"

Yesseca held her breath.

Montez continued, "He keeps a lot of

women company. I've seen him call them very often and watch him send messages to many, many women. He also called them his

sweethearts,"

Yesseca's heart sank.

She trembled. "Montez, is this true?"Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Montez added, "To be very frank, my daddy is a playboy. Women shouldn't fall in love with my daddy, it never ends well for those who do,"

Yesseca felt her heart fall apart.

It was shattered into a million pieces.

She struggled to stand up.

Her face turned pale. "Montez, I have to go. I need to go to work. Have fun in kindergarten."

"Yesseca, Yesseca..." Montez called after her.

Yesseca pretended not to have heard him and rushed away. Montez was about to chase after her when Qiana suddenly held him back. She had appeared out of nowhere.
