Chapter 37

„When are we going to see Dada?" Willa asked as she ran to her toy box.

„Dada!" Delphine clapped her hands.

„In a few days. Katie is going to come pick you up like always." She smiled at her.

„Can Daddy come here?" She asked with her sweet innocent voice.

Ann sighed, brushing her curls. „I'm sorry, baby, he can't. But look on the bright side - you've got to have two birthdays now!" She chuckled.

„I don't want two birthdays." She crossed her arms. „You said nothing will change!" She whined and started to cry.

„Come here." She picked her up, hugging her tight. „It's hard for me too, you know?"

„But you love Dada?" She asked, wiping her eyes.

She smiled lightly. „Yeah, I do."

„Okay." She nodded, but sadness was still visible on her face.

„Breakfast?" She said, pinching her nose.

„Yay!" Delphine yelled, tucking Ann's pants.

She brought them to the kitchen, where Josh was already starting on the pancakes.

„Do you need any help?" She smiled as she hugged him from behind.

„I'm good." He smiled back, leaning his head on hers. „Did you talk with Pri?"

„Why?" She frowned.

„Well you... you said you had an argument." He frowned lightly.

„Oh!" Ann widened her eyes, remembering her little lie from yesterday. „Yeah, not yet."

„What was it about anyway? You never fight."

„Oh, you know... Girl stuff. You won't understand." She chuckled nervously.

„Morning!" Just as if she was reading the room Pri walked in the house with a huge smile. „Hey, girl." She walked up to Ann and hugged her tight.

„Seriously?" She frowned, trying to save the situation. „You act like nothing happened?"

„Woah... what's happening?" She raised her hands in defense.

„You forgot about our fight yesterday?" Ann gave her a look that she instantly read.

„Oh... Yeah, well... I wanted to apologize."

„Well, maybe we should talk first." She crossed her arms.

„Okay... let's go talk. Josh, will you take a look at them? Thanks." Pri smiled as they walked outside.

He sighed and shook his head. „Girls..."

„What the fuck?" Pri frowned, closing the doors behind them.

„I'm sorry, I... I panicked yesterday and had to come up with the excuse that we had a fight, and-„

„Wait... an excuse for what?" She raised her eyebrow suspiciously.

„Okay..." Ann sighed, guiding her to sit down. „But please don't kill me."

„You watched the Grammys?" She asked with a soft smile.

„Yeah... Did you know about this?"

„We didn't. We knew he was going to attend, but had no idea he was going to perform. If we knew, we would give you a heads up." She rubbed her leg. „So what happened? You contacted him?"

„Yeah." Ann sighed, closing her eyes. „I don't know why, I wanted to delete the text right away, but it was too late. And then he... Well, look for yourself." She passed her her phone, opening the messages with Joe.
