Kataleya

I'm not feeling well, at all.

I never thought I would feel bad about not getting some kind of attention from a certain person. Okay, maybe he's right to not want to talk to me after our...fight two days ago but at least notice me. At least let me know that you know I exist! I feel completely empty without his eyes on me.

God, I'm so deep in now.

Did I go too far? It was not meant to lead to misunderstandings between us but I wanted and still want to know who this woman was and what she had done to him.

But at the same time, I still have no right to know. We're nothing official and God, I haven't even confessed my feelings to him. He doesn't even know about Aiden so why does he have to tell me about Jade?

I'm such an idiot...I probably ruined our thing — if we even had one.

"Kit Kat! You're coming to my kindergarten Christmas party!" Kiara exclaims and runs out of her room, dressed as a reindeer. My lips stretch into a big smile at the sight of her beauty. Her emerald puffy dress reaches to her knees and matches nicely with her silver, sparkly baby heels and sparkly earrings.

The dress has a small open back with dark green details on the mesh sleeves. The medium sized silk bow attached down her back makes Kiara look absolutely adorable. And I can't forget to talk about the silver reindeer ears tiara on her curly head.

"Kiara baby, you can't just say that to her without asking if she can come." Says the dark and warm voice that I longed to hear. My eyes snap to his figure and my mouth drops open as I see him in an emerald colored suit which makes his honey eyes stand out even more than usual. I feel my lungs stop working and my cheeks get hot from staring at him.

He is so beautiful.

I'm forced to close my mouth as I'm afraid drool will drip down the corner of my lips. His eyes hold many emotions, but above all disappointment. Disappointment for me. It hurts my heart and I quickly look at Kiara before the coming tears form in my eyes.

"Do you want me to come along?" I ask surprised, avoiding his eyes. Kiara turns to look at her father with his arms crossed and a sour pout on his face as she nods. I see him rocking on his feet back and forth before he stands firmly and clears his throat to speak.

"All the children's families come to the party to see them sing, but Kiara would love to have you there. You've become so close that you're like family to her." He tells me and my heart warms even if I wished for him to say: You're kind of like family to us.

Both Kiara and I giggle as I twirl her like a princess while taking pictures of her. I also take pictures of her as she poses beautifully by the magical Christmas tree Londyn set up. I show her the pictures I plan to post on my story and while she is distracted I look up at her dad and quickly notice his beautiful little smile and faint pink cheeks. His eyes widen in panic when he notices that I've caught him and turns his head to the side making me smile harder.

Cute

I shake my head at his cuteness before opening my mouth to ask my next question.

"I'll gladly come, as long as you're okay with it." I say and he nods in understanding as he walks towards us and still sits right next to me on the gray couch.

"No, You can come.. I've put your dress in your room so you don't have to think about choosing. We're leaving in forty-five minutes." He explains as he takes out his mobile phone and takes pictures of his beautiful daughter. I rush to "my" room which is the guest room that I always sleep in when I stay the night with them and my stomach fills with butterflies when I zip up the cover of the dress.
