see that one coming. Okay." He then grinned, "I don't think I've ever met a stripper."
Zach laughed, still nervous but feeling slightly better. "I needed the money for Archer and me. I used to dance there when I was younger, or whenever I needed some cash. My friends own the club, so I can dance for half a shift. It's the same with Adam, he lets me work only mornings."
"I can see that. Do you like dancing?"
"Oh yeah, I love it. Always have. I even love the club, and the people. But it keeps me away from Archer and if I didn't need the money I would quit. It's good that he sleeps most of the time that I'm away, but I still leave him in tears every night I have to work."
"Hey, hey. He's a happy kid. Sure, he cried when I first met him, but essentially he's a happy child. He adores you, and is naturally curious. I'm sure he misses you, and doesn't like to be apart from you, but there are plenty of parents who work the whole day and only see their kids for maybe an hour. You're doing the best you can, and he is happy for it."
"Thanks. I just… I never expected to do this on my own." Zach sighed, rubbing at his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Sorry, that kind of slipped out. I really don't want to drown you with too much drama."
"It's not drama. It's your life, and I'm interested. You can read everything about me online while I have to ask about anything I want to know."
"Yes, there's a lot about you out there."
"Oh," Noah pointed his finger at Zach, only for it to be grabbed by Archer a moment later. Still, Noah, said his piece of mind, "We'll talk about that right after you tell me about your drama, sweetcheeks."
"Fine. I was in a relationship for a long time. Austin was older than me and I honestly thought we would spend our lives together." Zach smirked, "Yeah, everyone thinks like that when they're in love. He was older, more experienced. He said he was ready for a family. I wasn't. I felt too young and inexperienced. But Austin wanted a family, so we found a surrogate, spent all our savings and gave our sperm. Jacking off in a bottle. It still makes me fucking laugh. By the time she was pregnant, I got excited. I felt him kick, saw the ultrasound. Archer was a living being. I don't think I'd ever been as excited as I was the first time I heard his heartbeat. It was bigger than life. I swear." Zach looked up at Noah, who smiled at him, so sweetly. "Anyway, by the time he was born I couldn't have been happier. And he was such a good child, still is. Rarely ever fusses. But Austin couldn't do it. Said he couldn't stand the crying, how being a father wasn't for him. Some such bullshit. Here I am swearing again." Zach laughed.
"Yeah, I hear it's a no no with kids."
"They pick up words so quickly. A friend of mine liked to say c-o-c-k-s-u-c-k-e-r a lot. It was her thing you know. So of course, that was the word her daughter first learned. She didn't say mom, or dad, she said c-o-c-k." Zach spelled the words.
Noah laughed, making Archer giggle with him as he played with Noah's green painted fingernails.
"So Austin left and here we are. He's mine. Not that it's hard to tell now, but at the time I was so angry and scared that Austin would change his mind, take him away from me. I did a test. So he's my son. Only mine." Zach leaned over and kissed Archer's black hair.
"That is a sad story. But then again it isn't. You're happy with your son. You deserve better than that j-a-c-k-a-s-s anyway."
Zach smirked at Noah's spelling, but the words warmed him up.
"So what gossip did you hear about me? Tell me only nice things." Noah stretched out on the blanket, propping his head on his hand only to have Archer slap him since it was convenient.
"Archer!" Zach raised his voice, and the little guy turned, looking at him with vulnerable eyes.
"Hitting is bad. No hitting, Archer." Noah said calmly but more serious than was his usual tone and took the little hand kissing the palm.
"I watched videos of your concerts. You're amazing. I
