"In the end you were destined in my eyes."
-Pablo Neruda
MATTHEO RIDDLE
I opened my eyes immediately when I felt the bed lowering.
«Little star» I mumbled.
In front of me there was my daughter, Madison, holding her stuffed dolphin.
«Hi daddy» she said and she curled up against me.
I clasped my arms around her little body and closed my eyes.
«What's wrong, little star? Did you have a bad dream?» I asked and she nodded against my chest.
I left her a kiss on the forehead and I held her tightly.
Madison was four years old, and she slept a few rooms away.
Sometimes I stayed with her in her little bed until she fell asleep but since a few months she slept alone with the light on.
I stretched and I grumbled.
I hated getting up from the bed or simply leaving Madison.
«Let's go to have breakfast little star, or we are going to be late» I said and she got up from bed and she ran towards the kitchen.
I sat up on the bed and I ran an hand through my hair and I looked at the alarm clock to my right.
Shit I was late and I had to take Mads to Daphne's again, since she was taking her and Scorpius to school.
I got up from the bed and went to the kitchen where Madison was already sit.
I left her a kiss on her hair and I took the juice placing it on the table. Then I cut two pieces of cake that we had prepared the day before.
I wasn't so good at cooking but I had to keep a four-year-old girl busy on a rainy day.
And then Madison had so much fun, and that was enough for me. I didn't care that the cake wasn't perfect for the best baker in the world to taste.
I sat across from Madison and we started eating. She looked up at me with her big brown eyes.
«Tell me, little star» I said.
«Can you braid my hair?» she asked me.
«Little star, we are already late, I will ask Daphne if she can braid your hair» I answered and she looked down.
This little girl knows how to make me feel guilty.
«Well thinking about it, we have some time» I said and she immediately looked at me with a big smile.
«Yee!» she raised her little arms and she climbed down the chair to hug me.
I took her in my arms and I held her on tight.
«So let's do this, now we go to choose what to wear, then we dress very fast and I make you braids» I told her.
«Come on» I said holding her.
