THEA'S POV:
CLOTHES? Check. TOYS? Check. BOOKS? Check. CRAYONS? Check. SHOES? Check. GUMMIES? Check. FRUIT LOOPS? Double Check. ROSE? No Check.
"Where is Rose?" I yelled from the bedroom.
"She is still asleep!" Emric replied and leaned a shoulder at the bedroom door. I groaned and scratched my head, ticking stuff that had been packed.
"All right! I'll wake her up and you" I pointed the pen at him. "Get the car ready. We need to be on the road in the next twenty minutes." I informed him as I shoved the list and pen into this chest and stomped out into the living room.
"Mia, wake up hon." I tickled Rose's belly and armpits as she squeezed and giggled in her sleep. "I know all your ticklish spots," I said in a monster voice and continued tickling her.
"She's been pretending to be asleep for an hour now," Emric said as he settled on the couch, next to Rose. He caressed her hair. "Honeybug, wakey wakey," he said in his baby voice. Aww! He is so adorable.
"Rosey, come on, we're going on the trip," I said, tickling her feet. She giggled and slowly snaked her arms into Emric's arms. She thinks we don't know that she's pretending.
"Who wants to go for a walk?" Emric whispered to her.
"ME!!" Immediately, she sat up, wiggled her waist, and did her happy dance. "Wic, I want french fries after the walk." She demanded him and he chuckled as he swayed her in his arms.
"Anything for my honeybug, now go, get change." He put her down on her feet.
"Mommy, let's go and change." Rose tucked on my sweatshirt. Her hair was like a bird's nest and her arms were covered in temporary tattoos.
"Yeah, go ahead and choose your dress. I'm coming." I kissed her cheeks and she left jumping like a kangaroo.
"Okay— french fries?" I swiftly turned back to Emric.
"I couldn't say no to her" He apologetically smile. I scoffed, not believing that my daughter fooled him.
"Emric doesn't go on her cute pretty face," I warned him as I got up, tightening my bun. "She is smart and naughty."
"Like mother, like daughter," he muttered under his breath, but I heard him. I raised my brow giving him a chance to say sorry, but he ended up laughing. "Chill, bestie, I'll get the car ready and load this stuff." he winked and rushed out of the door.
I stood there, glaring at him until he disappeared. What was I even thinking when I called him 'bestie'? He has been teasing me at every opportunity he finds. He annoys me because he knows I won't yell at him if calls me bestie.
"Mommy, help me" Rose yelled. I huffed and put my regrets aside and helped her.
Once she was changed, I checked everything again and locked the apartment as we both walked to Emric's car. I made Rose wear her purple winter jacket and woolen cap. It was the end of November and the temperature dropped dramatically.
"Let's go!" Once I buckled her up in the car seat, I sat in the passenger seat and fastened my seatbelt.
"Wear your jacket, please" Emric eyed the jacket and back at me. I tried to plead with eyes as I shook my head as no and he waited, tapping on the steering wheel for me to wear it. I sighed in defeat and wore it. Sometimes he can be impossible. He calls me stubborn, but he hasn't seen himself from my point of view.
