Avani & Anthony: Parents

anthony's pov

"babe, i love you." avani says as she kisses my lips before leaving our bedroom.

"wait!" i call for her to come back. "yes?" she walks back into the doorway. "one more?" i ask cutely. she rolls her eyes. "fine, but quick." she's a sucker. avani walks back over to the bed and lays a quick kiss on my lips again. "hey, longer." i say. her and i both lean in and our lips crash and i quickly deepen the kiss. before we know it avani is on top of me and we are making out.

she pulls away. "sorry ant, when i get back i am all yours." she winks as she climbs off of me. i sigh. "bye i love you, have fun with the kids. text me." avani blows me a kiss then leaves our bedroom.

"drive safe!" i yell to her, she's headed to a work trip for modeling. she's going to new york city. i'm excited for avani. i think this will be good for her, especially to get a little break from the kids. she loves them but they can be a lot sometimes.

"daddy." atlas comes storming into my room. "why did mommy leave?" she begins to pout. "addy mom is going away for a few days for work." i respond. "but i wanted her to stayyyy." atlas throws herself to the floor and begins to cry. i unwillingly get out of bed and take care of my daughter. i grab atlas and hold her in my arm.

"calm down." i say in a stern tone. she stills cries and flails her body. "atlas. no more tears." i say in my parent voice. yes i have a parent voice, i'm not necessarily proud of it but i have one. she finally begins to stop. "do you need to go back to bed?" i ask her. she nods while laying her head on my shoulder. at least she's honest. i carry atlas back to her bed and tuck her in.

once atlas is back asleep, i walk out to the living room. i am sitting with teddy and watching some tv.

as i am mid way into my show, i get a text from josh. what does he want? i think. josh and i kinda had a falling out a few years ago and haven't really talked much since.

josh - bro, what's going on with you and avani?

what the fuck? is all that is streaming through my mind. we literally were fine this morning. i go to respond to josh.

anthony - what the fuck you mean? she left this morning for a work trip in nyc

josh - damn, well you and her are being talked about right now. just wanted to check in with you.

anthony - where posted it?

josh - *article link*

anthony - thanks, but we are doing good so this is wrong

i click on the article and read how avani and i have both been seen out recently without each other and how apparently i have been seen with a new lady? wtf. i scroll and see a paparazzi picture of my new manager and i. i hate social media sometimes.

i immediately send the article to avani and send a pissed faced emoji then send her a little rant. she's probably on a flight right now and doesn't even know what is going on. i wish i was with her right now.

"dad." adrian walks out of his room. "hey little dude." i respond while putting away my phone. i need to focus on my kids. he hugs me.

"what are we doing today?" he asks. "well the weather looks rainy and gloomy so how about we stay home and maybe we can have a movie day?" i try to plan with him. "yes! oh and don't forget lee and i have soccer practice today." adrian reminds me. "oh yes, at 12 and 1. so we will bring food and chill there for a little." i respond. he nods.

i check the time as i begin to make breakfast. it's already 10. the girls are clearly sleeping in today. i make a bowl of fruit and toast for adrian. i also prepare some for the girls and myself.
