??: ”Uhhg my love was so short'
??: ”She perfect just like him, look at the kids, that's what good genes look like”
?? ”Why is God so cruel”
?? ”Well, back to depression”
Theodore and his perfect little family continue their journey going from one shop to the other. Theodore was now sitting outside a changing room with Rose and Chloe. About a second later Charlotte came out wearing an off the shoulder black lace dress with white lining underneath. A gold belt around the waist and black high heels with her soft long black hair down.
”So, how do I look” Said Charlotte as she gave a quick twirl.
”Wow so pretty” Said Rose
”Mommy is super pretty,” Said Chloe
Theodore was at a loss but eventually, with a vacant stare he said ”Beautiful”
Charlotte was taken back by his sincere praise, so she gave a shy giggle and said ”Hehe Thanks. Um I got a suit here that matches well with it to do you wanna try it”
Theodore only nods and leaves to try it out. A minute later Theodore comes out wearing a black double-breasted suit that had polished gold buŧŧons. On the inside was a white lace shirt that hung loosely over his trousers instead of tucked in like regular suites. His trousers were also black. It was both sophisticated and casual.
All the women in the shop stopped and stared before quickly taking a picture. Theodor had long gotten used to this so he didn't mind and said ”What you think”
”Daddy is the Coolest” Said Rose while Chloe nodded her little head
”You could wear rags and still look good” Said Charlotte with a light blush
”Aunty Charlotte should stand next to daddy. Daddy can I have your phone? I want to take a picture” Said Rose as she gave Chloe a nod to encourage Charlotte.
”Come on Mommy stand here. . . No closer” Said Chloe giving a gentle shove to Charlotte causing her to fall into Theodore's ċhėst.
”Daddy should have his arms around Aunty Charlotte” Said Rose while moving Theodore's left arm around Charlotte's waist.
The two little girls gave a thumbs up to each other and stood on the chair taking a photo. They then sat down quietly watching in anticipation. Theodore stood with a blond beauty in his arms looking down into her rich chocolate brown eyes as she stared back up into his endless sky blue eyes. Two beautiful people lost in their own world, appreciating what laid with within the other party's eyes.
”It appears our kids are trying to tell us something” Said Charlotte with a whisper
”I think they're trying to set us up together but. . . ” Theodore whispered
”But what, don't try to hide that you don't feel something between us,” Said Charlotte with a cold stare.
*Sigh* ”You're right I do like you but I'm not sure if I'm ready, I've spent the last year or so being a father. What I'm saying is I'm not sure if I have time to satisfy you while still being a father” Said Theodore disappointed
”What about me, I have a daughter as well so that's not a good enough excuse. And who said anything about an abandoning your fatherly duties” Said Charlotte with a tad bit of anger in her voice.
”Your right I don't have an excuse, I'm just not particularly good at couple stuff but I guess I could learn to with some hands-on experience,” Said Theodore with a cheeky smile while pulling into a strong hug.
”Good” Said Charlotte as she rested her head on his ċhėst.
They were still in their own little fantasy not the least bit conscious of the surrounding people who had stopped and listen to their quiet confession. After their confession, the surrounding audience for some reason clapped.
Rose and Chloe clearly had a victorious smile on their faces and gave each a big high five to celebrate.
”We did it, Chloe, now we're sisters,” Said Rose proudly
”Hmm hmm Sisters,” Said Chloe with her head bobbing
