Nanny Dearest

Chapter Seventy Six Go Be Safe

"It's not much but it's a start." I smile walking in the apartment holding the key tight. "We can put the tv here and have a glass table, ou wont a rug look nice." I smile looking back seeing Lyanna drag her feel looking around the empty apartment.

"Empty." She said laying against the wall holding her bookbag. In her hand not looking impressed.

"Well yeah." I walked over. "We have to get the furniture" I said leaning against the wall next to her while the both of us look at the small window.

"Are we sleeping on the floor?" She asked and I rub the back of my neck keeping a smile on my face.

"Until we get a bed but it should only take a couple of days." I said trying to bring a smile to her face, she's too young to be grumpy. 

"I want to go back home, grandma has a bed and food we are not fit to live alone." Lyanna said and I was about to speak but she quickly spoke.

"I'm 13 year old who's living in an apartment with nothing in it? What are we eating tonight?" She asked and I felt a little defeated because she fully right. I do have enough money save for us to eat this week but other than that I know I can get us on our feet by next week especially if pushing for more hours but then again a 13 year old can live in theses conditions. I felt my eyes burn a little as I blink a couple times so I wont cry.

"Okay." I said pushing myself off from the wall, I fix my face pushing my ill expression away giving her a warm one. "Come on we have to walk back though if you get tired I'll give you a piggyback ride." I giggle a little, Lyanna just stare at me with a dead expression.

Damn do she ever smile. 

"Are you staying if we go back." I watch her walk over and I gave her a small smile.

"No, I bought this to live in Lyanna. I'm a grown up now I have do things on my own." I smile proudly trying my best to put a smile on her face.

"You're always a grown up." She rolled her eyes and I frown. We stood there awkwardly as I glance at her seeing that her nails was painted, it hit a memory because I move from the door opening one of my hall closet getting a small box opening the top. I heard Lyanna small steps makes it's way towards me as I gave her twenty five dollars because I know she hates when I hold her money.

She wants to seem responsible so it's close letting her hold her own money and pay for things herself.

"Why do I need Twenty five dollars?" She asked and I show her my hands.

"Don't you think I need a fill in?" I asked her and she look at my nails and nod her head.

"Yeah they're ugly now my guy." Lyanna bluntly said and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't you wanna get your nails done too?" I asked her and her blank expression became a happy.

"Yes yes yes, please Marya that's like the only thing I lived for." She exaggerated and giggle watching her move to give me a hug.

"Okay leave your book bag here and we can go." I said putting the rest of the money in my pocket as we walk out the apartment. 

"Marya I never ask-

"No let's talk about Ly since I constantly put you in harm's way let's talk about it. Since mom do all good for you and can keep you from getting hurt." I folded my arms. 

"How many fucking times do I got to repeat myself I never fucking asked you to-

"Who the fuck was gonna step up then!?" I quickly cut her.

"Grandma took us in that all we ever needed." She pointed out and I facepalm.

"Everyone practically lived at her house ain't no way in hell she could take care of all of us let alone our ignorant ass Uncle who didn't want to raise a mother fucking pink-

"I'm done, we're getting off topic anyway I wanted you here so you can understand my side and so how apologize for assuming spreading my legs for anybody." Lyanna voice was shaky wearing a stress look on her face. I watched her look around for a bit before looking back at. I closed my eye taking a deep breath gathering what I want to say.

"I'm going to stop, I am sorry for making assumptions knowing that you have now told me twice you haven't done anything." I said looking at her and she started to relax a little as I picked up my phone texting Ruslan to come pick me up before placing my phone back down. "I am also sorry for putting you in harm's way, you and the baby and from the looks of it you are pretty stressed which is not good for neither you or the child so the last and final thing I will be demanding you to do is go home." I looked out the window to see that it was starting to rain a bit outside, it felt like ten minutes as we sat here in our own thoughts. 

"You sending me home?" She asked and I nod my head.

"Halston will go with you without an heart beat, if I can't look after you I know he will." I said in all honesty.

"Are you coming back?" She asked and I cross my leg keeping my attention at the window.

"Yeah."

"When?" She asked a follow up question. 

"None of your concern." I said and it became quiet again. 

"I don't want to go if your no-

"We live there, Lyanna I'm not your mom I always come back." I said hearing my phone buzz and I grab it getting up to pushed my chair in I move a little towards Lyanna giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, studying her face she didn't show interest. "I love you." I told her standing waiting for her to say it back.

"Love you too." She whispered and I turn on my heels walking out the shop heading towards the fan seeing that it was already held open while Ruslan was leaning back smoking on a cigar. I smile getting in as the driver closed it before getting back in his seat.

"How was it?" He asked blowing smoke out the window.

"Did you everyone started drinking?" I asked him avoiding questions.

"Yeah and one of the guys think I'm bluffing about you when we was playing Spades. So it's going to be fun showing you off today." He said and I lean my head on his shoulder feeling his arm rest behind me.

"Ou sounds like fun."
