Not Good Enough Part 2: Enough Yet? ~A Diggy Simmons Love Story~

{Chapter 8...Delusional}

Daniel. . . .

I pulled up my pants then gave her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled at me then rested her head back on the pillow. "I love you." I whispered in her ear. "I love you too." I smiled then walked out the door. I had an hour to get to work so I had to put some pep in my step.

"Wait daddy!" I turned my head and saw Ava running up to me. "What's wrong princess?"

"You didn't give me my kiss." she said with a frown on her face. I got down on my knee so that I was eye level with her. I got so busy with Aubrey that I forgot to give Ava her kiss this morning. I pulled her close then gave her a big kiss on the cheek. She giggled then wrapped her arms around me for a hug. "You okay now babe?" I asked. She smiled then nodded.

"I'm sorry I forgot, A."

"It's okay daddy, have fun at work." she pecked my cheek then disappeared. I chuckled then got back up on my feet. I walked out the house.

(55 Minuets Later)

"Alright, have a nice day sir." I said to the man as I handed him his dry cleaning. The next person stepped forward. "How can I hel-" I stopped talking when I realized who it was I was speaking with. "Daniel? You work here?" she asked. I nodded. "What do you want?"

"I'm here for Mrs. Watson's dress, she's going to a banquet tonight."

"Is Mr. Watson going too?" she slowly shook her head then bit down on her lip. I knew what she was thinking and it made me sick. I went over to the finished clothes machine then pushed the button and waited for her dress to come down the line. Mrs. Watson's dress was long and white and wrapped in plastic clear covering to keep it safe from dirt. I grabbed it then handed it to to Vanessa.

"The mistress doing the wife's chores." I said to myself. She shrugged then took the dress without a care in the world. "Doesn't it bother you that your seeing a married man?" she smirked then shook her head. "Nope; in fact, I really enjoy it." she confessed. "What could you possibly enjoy from this?" she chuckled. "Daniel, this is only the first stage...in due time, I'll be the new Mrs. Watson."

"Wait, do you think he's leaving her for you?" she eagerly shook her head and smiled. I shook my head in disbelief. "You have to be delusional to think he'd ever leave his wife, daughter, and life to start something new with the help." she looked me dead in the eye then her little smirk started to fade away. I could tell I hurt her feelings, but she deserves to know the truth. Things like this always happen. Rich man meets a young girl and ends up messing around behind his wife's back. Young girl falls in love then when the wife finds out, the young girl is dropped like a bad habit. Although she thought her and her rich man were going to be together forever.

I smirked at her reaction then rang up the cost for the dress. "$34.50 please." she scowled then slammed a $50 dollar bill on the counter. She stormed out.

"You don't want your change?!?"

Aubrey. . . .

"No, shut up! I'm done speaking to you! And why the hell would you call me this early in the morning?" I asked Devin through the phone. "I'm sorry, but I needed to talk to you."

"I told you that I didn't want to talk to you ever again!" I yelled. "I also told you to stop sending me money, but you won't do that either." I crossed my arms over my chest then sat down on the couch. "Listen, I have to tell you something about dad." he said. "I don't care about anything you have to say anymore, especially when you say it's about MY father."

"Woah, he's my dad too."

"No he isn't! Like my mother isn't your mother and I'm not your sister." the other end got quiet. I sighed. "Is that how you feel?" he asked quietly. "Devin, I-"

"Save it. When I found you guys, I thought I had a second chance at family considering that I wasn't lucky like you to have one." he confessed. "I've honestly grew to love you like I knew you guys forever, but I guess it doesn't matter to you how I feel." he hung up the phone. I laid down on the bed and just began to think. I felt horrible for what I said. Devin was my bother and he had been through a lot. He needs family the most right now and when he's trying to help me...all I do is bring him down.I always wished for a brother or sister and now that I have one, I'm a terrible sibling.

"Mommy! Someone's at the door!" Ava yelled while running in to the bedroom. I got up then walked down the hall to the front door. I opened it to see Kim standing on the other side. "Hey!" I shouted then pulled her in to a hug.

"Hey girly, I missed you."

"I missed you too." I stepped to the side and let her come inside. "Auntie Kim!" cheered Ava as she ran up her her. Kim picked her up then kissed her on the cheek. "Hey cutie pie, you being a good girl for your mommy and daddy?" she giggled then nodded. Kim put her down then we watched her walk off. "I haven't seen you in a while, how are you and Troy?" I asked.

"We are wonderful."

Troy is this new guy Kim has been seeing. She says she really loves him, but I knew she was a lot happier with Ethan. They both were a lot happier. When Ethan left for college, Kim got really paranoid about who he was with all the time so they decided to end it. I don't think they ended on good terms.

"What brings you here?" I asked. "I came to give you this." she said then looked through her purse for something. A manilla envelope came out and I instantly knew what it was. She handed it to me. She got up from the couch. "I can't stay for long because Troy and I are meeting up somewhere."

"Wait, what is this?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know, it has your name and info on the outside." she stated. "But for some reason it was in my mailbox."

"Um, okay, thanks Kim."

She let herself out and I opened the envelope. The money was in there, just like I suspected. I just wonder which one of Devin's boys put this in her mailbox. I took it in to the bedroom then slid it in the drawer. I needed to take a nap and forget about today.
