His Rosie

Chapter 1

"Mommy mommy wake up," my four-year-old says while jumping on my bed.

"Mom come on get up."

I continue to fake being asleep because this is my favorite part of my morning.

"Mom come on get up it's time for breakfast," she says before she lays down on me.

I grab Lilliana and flip us over now making me hover over her. I start tickling her and she starts laughing.

Her laugh is the best thing ever. Her laugh just makes my day so much better.

"Mom stop, I can't breathe," she says in between her giggles.

I stop tickling her and tell her to go to the kitchen and wait for me there. She tells me okay and I go and check my emails and also check to see what I have planned for the day.

Once I do all that I grab my MacBook and go to the kitchen so I can make Lilliana breakfast.

I get to the kitchen, and I see Lilliana sitting on the high stool at the island. How she got on the high stool all by herself, I have no idea.

"Hi, beautiful," I tell her

"Hi, mommy."

"What do you want for breakfast?" I ask her

"I want pancakes with orange juice."

"Okay sweetheart."

I go to the fridge and get the orange juice out then go get a cup from the cabinet and then pour the orange juice into the cup and give it to Lilliana. After I give her the orange juice. I start to get everything I need to make her pancakes and I start making them.

"Mom," Lilliana calls

I turn to her and say, "Yes Lilliana?"

"Can we go to the park today?"

"I'm sorry honey I wish we could, but I have to go

to work today I'm sorry sweetie." as soon as I finish my sentence she starts crying.

"Why do you have to work today mom can't you just stay home and spend time with me?" Lilliana says through her tears.

I go around the island and sit next to her I pick her up and place her on my lap and tell her "How about I cancel all my meetings and spend the day with you? How does that sound?" I ask her

Lilliana nods her head and her crying starts settling down, so I place her back on her stool and go back to making her pancakes.

Once her pancakes are done, I put them on a plate and give them to her. Her mood is back to how she was this morning.

We sit and eat breakfast and talk about anything and everything that a four-year-old can talk about. Once we finish, I tell her to start getting ready for the day. She likes to dress herself even though her outfit comes out to be weird and random, but she likes to be independent.

As I'm cleaning up the kitchen, I hear the doorbell go off I walk to the door and open the door to see none other than Zane Miller.

What the fuck is he doing here nobody comes to my house unless it's my best friends but everyone else isn't allowed because I don't trust people around Lilliana.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him

"I'm here because we have a meeting right now." "Umm no we don't. I canceled everything for the day and if we did would be meeting at my office, not at my house which brings me to my next question: how do you know where I live."

"I asked your assistant she gave it to me without a problem."

Note to self-fire my assistant.

"Okay well you can't be here, and I don't do business at my house so I will see you when you schedule a meeting with me at my office."

I go to close the door but before I can close the door Lilliana comes running to me and screaming my name. "Mommy look at the outfit I picked out."

She's wearing her Cinderella dress and heels with a

crown in her hair.
I bend down and take a good look at her and tell her

"You look, beautiful sweetie," I grab her hand and twirl her around causing her dress to poof out, and she giggles as I spin her around.

Once I'm done spinning her, she looks at the door and sees Zane I forgot he was even here, to be honest

"Who are you, stranger?" Lilliana asks

He bends down and says, "I'm Zane, what's your name princess?"

"I'm Lilliana. It's nice to meet you, Zanny." "It's nice to meet you too, princess."
I finally speak up and say "Lilliana sweetie, why

don't you go and play in your playroom. I'll come and get you when it's time to go to the park."

"Okay, mommy can I have a juice box though."

"Yes, honey, can you get it yourself, or do you need help?"

"I got it."

"Okay call me if you need help," I tell her, and she runs off to go get herself a juice box.

I turn back to Zane, and he just looks at me with some kind of expression that I can't decipher.

"You have a kid," He says in shock

"It would appear that way is there something I can help you with because you are taking up time that I could be using to spend time with my daughter."

"No, I'll set up a meeting with your assistant at your office like you asked."

"Okay then bye."

"Bye Rosie." He says before I close the door

I hope Zane keeps his distance, especially after the

way Lilliana took an instant liking to him.
