"Tito Steph...do you miss tita Tricia a lot?" Jamie looked at Stephen curiously. He was at their apartment having a drink with Nat.
"I do. Although not as much as your daddy missing Aika." Stephen tossed the ball over to Nat.
"How much do you miss tita Tricia? This much?" Jamie spread her arms wide.
"A little more than this..." Stephen playfully held both of Jamie's arms and extended it without hurting her.
"How much do you miss ninang, Daddy? More than this?" Jamie turned to Nat, her arms in the same position.
"About this much..." Nat spread Jamie's arms slightly further.
"Look here, Jamie. I'm sending this to your titas..." Stephen snapped a picture of the adorable girl and sent it to Tricia immediately.
ang cute na <3 tell my little sweetie that we miss her!
paano naman ako? i miss you too :")
you have kuya to keep you company :)
"Doc's right, you have me..." Nat held up his can of beer, chuckling at Tricia's reply.
"And me too!" Jamie held up her glass of milk.
"When's Ms Carlos moving out?" Stephen lowered his voice.
"I told her to take her time...but now that Mum has left and Aika is coming back soon..." Nat sighed. When Alice left yesterday, there was no more "third party" left in the house.
"Oof...sounds complex..." Stephen sighed.
"Tell me about it...I honestly don't think it's a good idea to have Aly stay here but I can't just kick her out like that..." Nat puffed his cheeks, confused at what to do.
"Can you not offer her a room in one of your hotels? Or stay with her parents? And if her ex is unpredictable, she could apply for a restraining order just in case." Stephen suggested.
"I offered her the hotel room, she turned it down. She didn't want to implicate her parents. As for the restraining order, I don't think he's a threat at the moment..." Nat pursed his lips.
"Well, all I know is that I wouldn't drag it out if I were you..." Stephen took a sip of his beer.
"Mummy!" Jamie ran to Aly as she entered the house.
"Hi baby...Sorry, I had to settle something at work today." Aly explained why she was gone for the whole day.
"Alls good. Oh, this is Stephen, Tricia's boyfriend." Nat noticed Aly staring at Stephen.
"Nice to meet you, Ms Carlos." Stephen offered a handshake, which Aly took.
"Nice to meet you too, Stephen. I shan't disturb you guys, I'll put Jamie to bed tonight." Aly smiled.
