STACEY

I sat by the sea side, staring at the vast water that spread about beneath it with all thoughts running in my mind.

To say I loved the job would be a lie, I hated it yet with no other options, I had no choice but take it, at least it was better than the other ones I had.

" Stacey!!!," Edna called, running towards m, a wide smile spread on my lips as I watched her run to me with a huge smile on her face.

i wanted to give her everything beautiful in the world, but the truth was that I was incapable of doing so, there was so much I couldn't do. I myself was nothing beautiful, neither have I ever had or experienced anything beautiful.

" Be careful or you might fall," I shouted, standing to my feet.

" Don't worry, I won't ," she mumbled, as her body collided with mine, she hugged my neck.

" Are you alright?," I couldn't help but ask, she shook her head.

" i'm good, thank you, thank you do much, "

" What for?"

" Bringing me here,I know you've been busy but you still managed to bring me here,i'm so happy Sta," She released me and kissed my cheek to which I chuckled.

" Alright, I am happy you are happy," She had always wanted to visit the beach but I had been to busy working to do so.

Now that I lost my Job, I decided to fulfill her wish the next day.

" Let's go play by the water," i said, running towards the water.

" wait for me!!!," Edna ran after me.

I splashed some water on her before she could get any closer." Ahhh," she quickly ran to the other side and splashed me some water.

We played with the water for hours until we were exhausted, to exhausted to even lift our bodies, we stayed until nighttime then we left for home.

Edna fell asleep as soon as we got into the Taxi while me on the other hand couldn't get a wink of sleep at the thought of tomorrow.

The end of the month, the day I have dreaded since I turned seventeen, and like any other end of the month there was no excape from the dreadful day.

I layed Edna gently on the bed and layed beside her, it was just 7:30 yet I was exhausted.

If it were any other day, I would be busy working my ass of at the restaurant till 2:00 at midnight.

Before I forgot, I took if her black dress and boots then I changed her into her Wednesday night dress then I layed behind her hugging her to myself.

" Goodnight," I whispered, kissing her forehead.

" Bye ," I smiled with a wave of my hands.

" bye," Edna said softly then she ran to join her mates walking into the school gate.

As I stood there and watched her back, memories of the first day she went to kindergarten rushed back to me, to imagine she was this grown and beautiful.

" is she your daughter?," A woman asked behind me and I quickly wiped my tear. When did I start crying?,

" sort of," I replied, looking at the woman dressed in a white bodycon gown adorning her figures like they were made for it.

The Woman smiled," you look too young to be a mother,"

" I know," I said, there was no need explaining myself to the lady, she smiled with her plump pink lips as her almond hazel eyes scrutinized me.
