Sure, let me just take… I mean right now!! he yelled which frightened the little girl. Sure, let go, I walked slowly behind him feeling that I had done something wrong, he noticed how slow I was walking, he held my wrist and pushed me in. “What was that?” he asked when we got into his office.

“What was what?” You tell her you are her mother, he said getting irritated. You didn’t say anything when she asked so I thought… “you thought what?” That I would marry you and make you her mother uh, you think you deserve to be her mother or even my wife, you seem to forget what you are doing in my house, all this is signed but that doesn’t give you the right to tell my daughter to call you mother he said through gritted teeth squeezing my hand tight. Stop, you are hurting me, he quickly let go of my hand.

I don’t know what your problem is but don’t you ever talk to me like that again, you also forget that you actually need my help as well, so stop trying to think you can control me and am sorry for trying to be a mother to your daughter, I promise I will stay away from her, that is not what I… I closed the door on him. Tobias came running to ask what happened since I am sure they all heard us yelling at each other but I was just too angry, “not now dude” he immediately stopped when I glared at him and walked away. I noticed the little girl getting sad but I was too angry to comfort her.

I felt guilty for avoiding the little angel, I just don’t want to confuse her. She might think I hate her. This is all her father’s fault. Have been coming home late and going to work earlier than expected so as not to bump into her. Every weekend, I make sure I am with my brother and I return on Sunday evening when she is asleep or I just stay in the hospital until Monday and go to work.

Unfortunately, today I wasn’t so lucky, she waited for me to get back. I tried to walk past her, thinking she was asleep with the way she was laying down on the couch, not until I heard her say “did I do something bad mommy” she caught me.

I turned and saw her cute little face which broke my heart and made me feel guilty. How can I avoid such a sweet little girl, “do you not like me mommy?” she spoke again when she saw how silent I was. No, no sweetie I don’t hate you, mommy has just been so busy, come and give mommy a hug, I notice her frowning face turn into a huge grin when she hugged me, I have missed this little girl so much. “Why are you still awake dear? Is your daddy not home yet?” “No, daddy is never at home, and neither are you too, so I thought if I did not sleep early and stay awake until you got back then you would tuck me to bed.” Oh baby, why don’t you just sleep in my room tonight, we can have a sleepover, really! Do you mean it? I can sleep on your bed every day? Sure, I watched her running upstairs heading to my room. I followed her, tucked her in and sang to her. She fell asleep immediately. The little angel must have been very tired.

The next day

I didn’t go to work today, I slept in and we both woke up late. The butler knocked on my door and told me breakfast was ready. When I woke Isadora up, I found out her name is Honey Bella Isadora, so I called her Isa which no one did, not even her father. We took our bath, I helped her get dressed, we went down and lifted her and placed her on my lap. I ignored him, filling my plate and giving a bite to Isa. I could feel eyes on me but I ignored him. After breakfast, I turned on the television and watched Frozen. I got a message from the hospital, “honey I will be going now… I will be back ok? I kissed her cheeks.”

“Will you come back?” I live here, Isa, I promise I will be back soon. I tried to convince her and she looked at me with a pout. Why don’t you take her with you? Really, can I go daddy? You can go if that is okay with Arya they both look at me, sure why not. I picked Isadora up, hurried and strapped her in thinking her father would sit with her. I sat in front waiting for the driver to get in, only for me to see Lucas opening the car and sitting there with the keys in his hand, busy strapping in the seat belt.

“um, what are you doing” why are you here, go sit with Isa while we wait for your driver. Don’t worry, I will be the one driving Frank is on break today. I started feeling scared “do you know how to drive” yes, how hard can it be, I just need to put the keys here and we start moving. We heard someone knocking, Lucas tried to find a way to whine down the glass, can drive my ass I chuckled. I pressed it and saw Tobias “need help” yes please, he pulled Lucas out “go sit with the kid, driving is for grownups” that cracked me but I held it in. you are a lifesaver T I kissed his cheek when he got on. “No worries girl, I got you” I smiled. I do know how to drive Lucas grumbled at the back, “it’s okay daddy, you can sit with me while the grownups drive”

Where did you hear that word “uncle T just said it she rolled her eyes at him, that’s what everyone says now. Who told you that, I got curious, uncle T said so, we all looked at him. You need to stop teaching her all these words Lucas said, what she is not a child, is she not like nine or something, am six uncle T. Wow, you are so tall, I wonder where she got that from, oh yes, from your sexy sister Becca. “Daddy has a sexy sister?” yes, he does and she is hot as fuck, I hit Tobias on his head, ouch what was that for. Language T a child is here you know. “Dad, what does fuck means” Lucas got paled. Well, it means, Tobias tried to explain, I covered his mouth thank goodness we are in the parking lot already. It is a bad word honey, don’t ever say it. I opened the door for her, what is wrong with it she is nine you know. Tobias the child is six, oh I forgot, sorry, he smiles sheepishly.
