seventy-one.

present.

Emily sighed as she sat on the private jet that Leo organised for them. to say that they were all exhausted , was an understatement.

Delfi plopped herself next to Junior while the adults were on the other side and Emily got flashbacks of their trip to Rosarío. she really missed her mom today.

the flight attendant reminded them of the rules and they all buckled themselves in. "have you talked to Ethan yet?" Junior asked and unlocked his phone once they were in the sky.

Emily just nodded her head. "yes , he's super happy. he wants us to go to a game of his" Emily spoke and rubbed her eyes. "really? I'd love to go" Junior spoke and Delfi agreed , causing Emily to nod her head.

"i'l tell him once we get there. for now , i'm just super tired. I could sleep for days" Emily said and groaned. she watched as Junior put an arm around Delfi and mugged them.

nonetheless , she took out her purple iphone and snapped a quick picture before adding it to her Instagram story and tagging them both. they were so cute together.

Emily looked around to see Anto and Sofi talking while Luis was talking to Benjamin and Mateo.
Leo was just on his phone , scrolling through it and Emily decided to unbuckle herself and walk over to him.

his legs was stretched out infront of him on the long seat and he had a white blanket on him that jusy seem so cozy and warm.

"can i lay?" Emily saod , catching Leo's attention. the footballer smiled and put his phone down before opening the blanket and let her lay beside him. the girl wrapped her arms around her father and pulled the blanket to under her chin.

"this is so warm , i just want to sleep" she spoke and he stroked her hair. "then sleep. we won't bother you" he said and Emily then smiled.

"you'll turn 15 in November , right?" he asked and Emily nodded her head. "what do you wabt to do?" he asked and Emily shrugged.

"nothing too major. it doesn't have to be something big. just being with you guys , Delfi and Junior is enough" she said and he smiled at her and hugged her close to him.

the father-daughter love was something Leo never thought he'd have because he only has three boys. and even though he loves his boys tremendously , there's just something about a father's love for his daughter and vice versa.

Emily snuggled into her father and felt so cozy that she wanted to sleep right then and there. "Anto , do you have a sleeping mask?" Emily turned and asked her stepmom who nodded her head with a smile.

she got out a plastic bag from her travel bag and handed Emily a silk Chanel sleeping mask. Emily took it and pulled it over her head before looking at Leo.

"you don't mind if i take a nap , right? just wake me up if i get heavy" she said and he waved her off. "just go to sleep. you know i won't mind. I just want to keep you close to nme as possible" he said and kissed her forehead.

Emily pulled the sleeping mask on her eyes and felt content as sleep took over her body.

••••

Emily felt someone nudge her shoulder and calling out her name softly. the girl furrowed her brows and was awoken to darkness , only to realise she had the sleeping mask on.

taking it off , she rubbed her eyes to clear her eye sight and turned her head to find her father looking at her. "we're here , come on wake up"

Emily sat up straight and stretched herself. Delfi and Junior was getting ready for the take off while Anto just played with Ciro.
