@NiyaWonderland - wanted to see Noah and Eri's hangout
-----
Noah's pov:
Now, i didn't really believe that Erivina would be an actual handful than how Michael makes it out to be, plus i was only doing this because if i could get along with his daughter, i have a higher chance with actually staying with him this time.

I knew we'd probably stay together regardless but i know Michael's self sabotaging stages, i just wanted him to know I'm not leaving him no matter what.

He'd left at around two pm with Elias, who practically so excited he was jumping off the walls, i prayed Michael could somehow deal with his hyperness.

I didn't really know what Eri wanted to do yet, she doesn't speak as often you'd expect a nine year old too, the most she'd spoken to me was like nine words, she only really speaks when necessary, but when she's upset, she'll speak for decades.

She was playing quietly in the living
room, the tv on but it was basically just background noise, she was busy using her lipgloss machine, coming over to me every few minutes to make me try her next scented lip gloss even though really, they all just smelt intoxicatingly sweet.

"Where's daddy?" she looks up at me, her curly hair sticking to her face, i had to be very careful with her hair apparently because today Michael refreshed it for the week, she wears something called a bonnet when he can get her too, to make the curls last longer.

"He's gone out with Elias, it's just you and me, sweet girl." i smiled, taking my laptop off my lap and placing it on the sofa.

"I want, pizza, daddy hasn't given me pizza." she pouts, poking her finger in her purple lip gloss before spreading the jelly looking thing over her plump lips till they looked more oily than shiny.

"Is he supposed to give you pizza now? I don't think i have any in the fridge." i get up

"Every Friday!" she jumps

"Okay, how about this, would you wanna go out for pizza?"

"Hmm, okay." she pondered for a while

"We don't have to if you don't want to, i can just order it here."

"Noo, i wanna go to, i dunno." she tilts her head in confusion as i laughed, nodding as i help her into her shoes and a coat, making sure to take her headphones and her tablet with me just incase she does get a little anxious.

"What's that?" we also ended up in town, so i was secretly praying to bump into Michael because i missed him already.

"That's a movie theatre." i look down at her as she holds onto my index finger, she looks at the blue building for a while.

"We can go after if you like." i offer

"Frozen two." her eyes glimmer with excitement as i agree, we head into the pizza place and i let her pick out a pizza, already knowing she hates certain toppings from the textures.

Now, I'd gotten lucky because the entire time we ate she actually started talking about whatever she wanted, her toys, everything.

She'd actually gone on pretty well, i even reminded her a few times that she shouldn't be afraid to tell me if she doesn't want to do anything because i didn't want to force her but she insisted.

It was only the ending of the movie when she started to kinda begin her tantrum, she kept making some noises as i silently got her back into the car.

"I want my daddy." she huffs, folding her arms.

"I know, he'll be back soon, i promise." i look at her through the car mirror
