The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

Family? Am I part of the family, I went back to my room, laid on my bed thinking about being part of the family, I don’t know when I slept off but I woke up when I felt warmth on my face, I opened my eyes I saw it was sunrays, I checked my time, goodness I overslept again, after dragging myself to the bathroom, I freshen up, I have nothing doing today other than spending my time watching film with Isa until I remembered the date, which made me blush because he said it was a family day, shaking all the negative thought off, I went downstairs only to meet with silence, where was everyone, not until I heard Isa screaming Elsa that I ran to the small theatre that was in the house that I never knew about, not until he showed us last week when we kept singing and disturbing him in the sitting room.

I shook my head, went to the kitchen and made breakfast for myself, then I heard Isa little feet coming closer “mama, you are up,”

Yes I am, “why didn’t you wake me” I asked still munching on my toast bread.

Uncle T told me not to wake you up, that you needed to rest, I had so much fun with Uncle T and Becca, “where are they?” She took my second toast and eat it while pointing, I went to check why they haven’t come up yet, wow, they were kissing, I quickly left not wanting them to notice me, I went back to the kitchen and continued munching on my food while Lucas came down, he walked close to me and held my cheek lightly, I looked at him and my breath hitched, he was looking at my cheek and smoothing it with his thumb, he then looked at my face, I gulped when I felt his thumb close to my lips, I closed my eyes at the sensation I felt from his simple touch, he cleared his throat, t-there was something on your cheek, “umm oh,” not knowing what to say.

“Daddy, are we still going to see the animals? I want to see a lion so I can roar like Simba,” he looked at her confused, “who is Simba?” He asked, causing Isa to giggle “silly, he is the lion king, mama I want to be like Simba when I grow up” you mean you want to have paws and run on all four and…

Smack! shit you need to stop hitting me Tobias said. Not when you refer my daughter to an animal, well she does want to be one.

Uncle is silly, I want to be princess mama, you’re my princess Lucas answered her by picking her up and tickling her while we watched in awe.

What? Why are you looking at me like that, nothing we answered, so who’s ready to see some animals Rebecca asked me! We all yelled.

Today was funny, with Tobias scared and us watching in fascination, I noticed Lucas hand shaking when we got to the reptiles side both him and Tobias stayed back but my little girl wasn’t scared at all Rebecca called them P****y and Isa heard it when we got back to where they were waiting for us that was the first thing she said “you are all p****y” Tobias broke down laughing oh my god I love this kid, while I and Lucas glared at Becca knowing fully well the word came from her mouth.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Mama did I say a bad word again” yes baby, it a bad word, don’t say it again okay, ok mama can we go and get ice-cream now, we will, if you promise not to say that word again, I promise mama, am sorry for saying that, now can we go get ice-cream, she dragged me not before saying

“you are never babysitting her” I pointed at both Tobias and Rebecca, such bad influence I whispered the last part. You know we can hear you, and am not a bad influence Tobias is, like hell I am, we both know i’m not, keep saying that to yourself.

I can’t believe you are scared of snakes, I said and laughed remembering how pale he was when he saw one, I thought you were not scared of it, how did you prank Tobias if you are scared of it, I didn’t set the prank, I paid someone to do it, we kept walking I was holding Isa right hand while he was holding the left hand, we looked like a happy family but we are definitely not a family.

I looked back and saw Tobias trying to get Rebecca’s attention but she was not giving in, she must have regret kissing him, once she’s gone, I’ll be the one consoling him again, this is so much hard, why the hell will you kiss him if you don’t want to be with him, I seriously need to talk some senses into her, she can’t keep doing this to my friend, she needs to pick who she likes.

During dinner I noticed Tobias sour mood, he didn’t speak much, whenever he stared at Becca he became sad, I need to talk to her, after dinner Becca excused herself while I went to freshen up and put Isa to sleep, it took me two hours before she fell asleep, she was just so happy about our family outing, it was the first time Lucas got involved and didn’t leave for any silly meetings of his, he even took pictures with Isa, made silly faces as well, couldn’t believe he could do that, thought his face was too stiff for him to do that, since he hardly smile and when he does it wasn’t a full smile that reaches his eyes and the smirks he gives was always evil.

“Mama I had fun today, did you see daddy’s face?” He looked like a clown. Where did you learn that word, uncle T called daddy a clown, oh, I see. She started calling Lucas daddy this morning. Rebecca drilled it into her yesterday when she kept saying papa while Becca kept saying daddy to correct her. She likes it when she gets corrected by Becca but when I try doing the same thing she gets angry.

“Am happy you had fun baby,” I kissed her cheek. Can we go out again but just me, you and daddy, if I say yes will you sleep? She nods, alright I’ll talk to your father about it and don’t tell Tobias about it so he won’t come with us, now go to sleep, while I read to you.

“Mama no story tonight, am a big girl now,” aunt Becca said stories are for babies and am not a baby she huffed crossing her arms.

I laughed. She looks so cute. Alright, my big baby, no story. How about a lullaby? Or did your favorite aunt say something about that as well? No, I didn’t tell her about it. I like when you sing to me mama, alright lay down. I ran my hand through her hair and kept humming, she fell asleep.

Now, I need to talk to Becca, I closed Isa room door gently not to wake her up and went straight to Becca’s room, I knocked and went in, she was making a video call, I guess with her fiancée since the person on the phone kept calling her baby and she was smiling a little by what he was saying she looks happy, I waited until she was done, can we talk, she sigh if this is about Tobias, I don’t want to hear it, nothing will happen between us, I don’t do little boys and he is definitely not my type, sorry to disappoint you but I don’t like him like that, when she finish saying it we heard the door open, fuck! I whispered….
