LOVING THE REJECTED BILLIONAIRE

We all walk to the dining area and have our dinner like the happy beautiful family that we are going to be. Angel’s appetite quite skyrocketed today. Ooh, I love her. I love them.

I, on this other hand, I feel like a number one. The luckiest woman on earth for having these two beautiful souls in my life. I feel like I own the entire world. Love is really sweet. I can’t wait to have this beast of mine all to myself so that I show him just how much I appreciate this. Ooh, I am itching for that.

Andy offers to clean the dishes after we are done eating that burnt offering of a roast chicken he prepared for us. I don’t blame him at all. We drew all our attention to the crucial matter a while ago and we solely forgot about everything else, including the chicken that was cooking in the oven. Since it was too late when we resolved the matter and the fact that it was past Angel’s bedtime, we decided to eat the chicken just the way it was but most of it went to waste. It was sweet, if only it didn’t burn.

So here I am, whizzing an old lullaby to Angel because today she has decided to abandon her room for the very first time since I came here and spend the night on my bed. How I love this! So, I now have a responsibility over a young girl as a mother? I hope I will play that role well. I can’t afford to disappoint her not Andy. I lay her gently on the bed, and I get under the covers beside her, admiring her beauty for a minute. She looks like a real doll. She really is an adorable doll.

“I am so jealous, just so you know.” Andy speaks, locking the door.

I hope he knows he can’t sleep here tonight, but I think that sense hasn’t knocked in his head yet.

“And I hope you know that you have no reason to be.” I say, as he lies on the other side of Angel. This picture of the three of us this way looks so adorable. It’s so lovely, but Angel can’t see us together like this.

I don’t know where she got that crazy idea of asking her father to make me her mommy. As if she knows what that title really entails. Huh, this kid though! We have been so keen on our romantic affair. I am sure she hasn’t seen or heard anything.

“You think so?” He runs his hand through Angel’s hair. “It seems like my daughter now loves someone else more than me. I feel like my daughter wants you more than me. It’s like…””That’s not true, Andy.” I cut him off, and we both lie with our elbows, facing each other, our daughter separating our bodies. “I can never take your place in Angel’s life, not even in a million years to come. She might be longing to have a mother, which is natural, but trust me, this girl knows perfectly well who has been there for her since the beginning. The person who dedicated his entire life solely to her, and that’s her daddy. She loves you more than you know, Andy.” He moves his free hand to caress my cheek. I get a hold of it, and give it a soft kiss on the palm. “We both are going to look after her. We are going to continue taking good care of her as you have always done. And, hey, I will hold you to that promise you made to her back there, okay?””I am never breaking it, that I assure you. Thank you, for coming into our lives.””No, Andy. Thank you, for accepting me into your lives. This is a huge responsibility you have bestowed on me, but I promise not to fail. She is our daughter now.””I have complete faith in you.”

That’s scattered all my senses. I was holding back for so long, and since the little girl is fast asleep now, I thought, why not steal a kiss or two before I chase him to his room? I can’t wait to see him throwing tantrums when I do that.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I peck my lips once, and I hold his chin and kiss deepen the beautiful kiss, but our romantic moment gets cut as soon as it starts.

“What’s that, daddy?”

Huh! Wasn’t she asleep? We pull away fast, looking at Angel as she rubs her eyes gently.

“Nothing, princess. I just came to say goodnight to you, baby. Weren’t you asleep?” Good thing Andy is quick to react because I think I swallowed my tongue. Or perhaps I forgot it inside his mouth.

“I was, but your voices were too loud, daddy. You woke me up.”Shit! Does that mean she not only heard our conversation, but the clicking sound of our lips too? Oh, my, goodness! How inconsiderate of us. Thank God I didn’t moan, and that we were not yet in the mood for naughty talks. Jeez!

“I am so sorry for that, okay. I will just leave you to sleep.” He pecks her forehead. “Goodnight, princess. I love you.” Before he puts his feet on the floor, she grabs his hand.

“No, daddy. Sleep with us. Sleep here.”

Oh, no!

I look at Andy, and he throws me a glance too. That devilish grin isn’t in any way innocent at all. I hope he is not considering his daughter’s request. He shifts his glance to his daughter who is still holding his hand, coercing him to stay. He looks at me again, and I shake my head. He winks, then turns to his daughter.

“Anything for my baby.”

I guessed he was quipping, but just like that, he tucks himself under the duvet, resting his head comfortably on my bed, his hand pulling me to them so that we are shielded by it. I switch off the lights, and we drown to sleep like the beautiful family that we are?

This will be my best night ever!
