36 Family Of Three ? (1/2)
”Don't be silly daddy, it was only a day since we last saw each other”
Nathan laughed and pinched her cheeks
”You are really smart”
”Of course I am, I am 3 and half after all”
her tiny voice caught the attention of everyone in the diner.
The stared at the handsome man and the beautiful woman and the cute girl in between
it was obvious they were a family, some people were taking pictures secretly.
”It seems everyone is staring at us” Nathan said smiling, he could vaguely guess what they were thinking
”Nah.....I think they are staring at Ella, she is just too adorable ”
Shola's phone rang when Nathan was about to reply
she stared at the text and her eyes were now wide open
”Crap!, crap!” Shola quickly got up and grabbed her purse,
”What is it?”
”Uh....I have to get back to the studio, I'll call Joanna to pick up Ella” Shola said as she grabbed her phone and dialed the number
”No need Sholana, I'll take care of her till you're done with work”
Shola looked at Nathan and hesitated for a while before she nodded
Nathan smiled but soon he started receiving long lists
”She shouldn't eat more than one ice cream a day, her body can't handle too much sugar
she has to drink at least 3 glasses of water till I arrive
and you have to give her these pills at exactly 3pm
in case I close late she can stay at your place
you should make sure she doesn't come in contact with grapes, she's allergic to them
and....
As much as Nathan would hate to admit it, taking care of a child was hard, he memorized everything Shola said while looking at her in admiration.
”Do you understand? ”
Nathan nodded ”Yes ma'am”
Shola felt a burning sensation on her face, se almost forgot what it felt like when Nathan told her those words
”I.....I have to go now, here's my number and the address to my studio, if anything serious comes up, call me or just bring Ella over”
”Hmm”
”Bye bye mommy” Ella said waving her tiny hands
”Bye honey”
Shola knew deep down that she was scared of leaving Ella with Nathan but part of her trusted him.
She was his daughter anyways, they deserve some alone time together.
Shola got into her car and drove off.
