chapter 9- uncle doofus

Alia
It's been a few days since I started feeling better. Thank god Ms. Rosie was here. She helped me take care of Sofie and clean my house while I was under the weather.

Thank god for her.

After a while, I'd come to my senses and figured I should probably call Mr. Douchebag to thank him. I didn't want to, but I had to suck my pride up.

I asked Ms. Rosie for this number and dialed. As I expected, a deep, broody voice picked up.

"Grey"

"Hi Grey, it's Aila, the girl who was sick and whose life you basically saved.

"Can I help you?" I rolled my eyes. "I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done." I told him.

"It's nothing."

I guess he's a man of many words.

"Ok well I hope you have a great day." I told him, not knowing how to end the conversation.

"Thanks" he said as he hung up.

Well that went well. I shrugged my shoulders and then went about my day.
...

Grey

I yawned as I entered Ro's penthouse.

"Morning" he muttered as he began to whip up breakfast. As I walked in, I already grab an extra plate for me. We had one of those friendships where both of us could just walk into each other's places and be at home.

"GOOD MORNING UNCLE DOOFUS." a loud voice yelled.

I turned around and Charlotte ran into my arms and gave me a hug. I hugged her back and brushed a few pieces of stray hair from her face.

"Morning, Char."

"I'm mad at you." she said in a fake upset tone.

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What did I do?"

"You stood me up yesterday. We were supposed to go on a driving lesson, dude." she said as if she was talking to a toddler.

I shook my head. "Im sorry Char. Something came up and I ended up having to make a house call."

That caught the attention of Ronan.

"A house call? Who are you? Dr Hank Lawson? Since when do you make house calls?" Ro laughed out uncontrollably.

"A few days ago I bumped into a mom and a daughter. I ended up patching them up and then I met the daughter one day who told me her mom was sick. One thing led to another and suddenly I went back to primary care." I told them with a shrug.

"No way"

"Seriously?"

Both of them looked at me with shocked expressions.

"And soon, they both lived happily ever after." Charlotte said with a huge smile.

Ronan started laughing uncontrollably.

He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at me intently. "Mhm, and this girl... is she pretty?" He asked me seeming interested.

I scoffed. "Is she pretty? Sure. But she's a royal pain in the ass. One sassy gal."

"Grey and mystery girl sitting in a tree.....k-I-s-s-I-n-g." Charlotte said out in a sing-songy voice with a huge smile.

"Guys I'm serious, nothing is happening between us. I'm pretty sure I'll probably never see her again."

"The world works in mysterious ways." he smirked.

"Oh cut the bullshit." I told him as I rolled my eyes with a small smile.

We all sat down to have breakfast. Of course, it was healthier than one of those healthy moms who only made their kids eat fruits and veggies.

Since Charlotte joined our family, he always made sure to cook healthy meals. It's comical really. Before he wouldn't care what he ate. Now, god forbid we have a pancake for breakfast.

"What the fuck is this, Ro?" I asked him as I saw a brown looking piece of dough on my plate.

"A multigrain, lactose- free, nutritious pancake." He said proudly looking like a kid who just won the science fair.

Charlotte and I looked at each other in disgust. "Hey char?"

"Yeah."

"How about I make it up to you for standing you up yesterday and we go get some donuts."

"Sounds like a plan." she nodded.

Ronan rolled his eyes. "As doctors, we should be eating a healthy and nutritious meal. Don't you know breakfast is the most important part of the day?"

"Who are you, Bill Nye? Haven't you ever heard doctors make the worst patients?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.

"Ok fine, you're a lost cause, but I will be making sure my daughter eats healthy. God forbid anything happens to her because she eats a shit ton of sugar with you."

"Oh puh-lease. Like id let anything happen to her." I told him as I rolled my eyes back.

He scoffed. "You're right. You're worst than me."

"Uh huh."

"Okay fine, go get you're donuts, just bring me
Back one please."

"Will do" I winked to him.
