Xavier's pov

I'm playing in my room with Layla , we are playing toys like every time 

Papa's downstairs with his visitors . I wished papa spend time with me 

But he has visitors right now and It's okay ! we have one more day 

"Layla" 

"Hmm?" She said looking at me

" What did you like for gift when you were my age?" I asked 

"Probably American doll , why?" She said looking confused 

I looked down and playing with the toy

"No way  you have a crush" She said giggling 

"Laylaaaaa" I whined

"My baby has a crush on a girl" She said smiling 

I looked at her and rolled my eyes

"I'm not a baby!" 

"Well you're my baby" She said while hugging me

"So who's she ?" She asked and I looked down as my cheeks went red

"G-Grace" I mumbled 

"Her name is what? I can't hear you" She said  laughing 

"Laylaaaaa"

"O-Okay Jesus you're cute" She said cupping my cheeks

"She must be a cut-

A knock at the door we turned around and there this strange lady

"Hey" She said  smiling and coming in looking around

"Hello " I answered quietly 

I know papa said to not talk to any of visitors but it's rude to greet back

"Hi, how may I help you?" Layla asked 

"Oh nothing you can just go. I'm staying with this little kiddo" She said ruffling Xavier's hair

"I-I don't know . His father asked me to watch over him" Layla said raising an eyebrow

" Well I'm here to stay with him while they all talk about business " The lady said 

"And we gonna have fun right Xavier ?" She said smiling

"Y-Yeah "I mumbled 

"You heard him . have a good night" I said pointing to the door

She sighed and left

Great now the next step

"You bring out your toys and come out in 5 mins okay ? I will go to bathroom and come and get you" She smiled while standing up

"Why" Papa said I can't come out why he would let me out? but

She said they're talking about work and she must be bored 

I'm not gonna be mean and say no that's rude

" Cause we're playing outside buddy in backyard and watch stars" She said smiling

"Really?" That was me and mama always doing that . I missed it 

"Yeah of course now go on get your toys" She said leaving my room

I collected my toys and got out of my room closing it

I turned around and saw papa with the nice lady

Papa looks tired he has this black thing under his eyes and his eyes are red

Were papa crying? what happened to papa?
