Zai

Zai's POV

Danielle Indyrah Sunru Ambrosini.

DISA.

Her new nickname from me. Disa

My little Disa you're going to love me for I am your daddy and I love you already.

I said in my head as I stood behind the door.

"Try me Ri. You won't be here for--"

I heard behind the door. It swung open and I saw the love of my life standing there in all her glory and beauty. I love everything about her. Her chocolate skin, her hazel eyes, her hour glass shape, the way she looks good in any color. The way she spoke to everyone except me. The light in her eyes. The way they changed color. Everything about her made me soft. I hated being soft but if it was her or Disa I'm okay with it.

"--long."

Her voice became soft and I knew I still had that effect on her. I still have a chance with my love. Our love.

"Rae"

I called out to her but she was frozen.

"Hello Rae'Elle"

"Manolo."

Just when I thought I had a chance she used my first name she's never done that. But it did sound good coming from her full lips.

"Come in"

She stepped aside for me to walk in: I really wanted to catch up with her and ask why she hurt me so bad that day but I really wanted to meet my daughter.

"DANIELLE!" Rae yelled. She sounded like she was in trouble. She used to do that to me. I miss that too.

"Coming mommy!" She is just like her mother in this instance. That's when it happened. She ran to the middle of the door frame looked to her left and her jaw dropped when she saw me. She ran towards me but stopped at Rae's leg and held on for dear life. Rae knelt down to Disa's height and they whispered to eachother for a few seconds and she stepped from behind Rae.

"Hello Zai. I'm Danielle. It's very nice to meet you." She stuck her hand out for me to shake and spoke very professionally. I took her hand in my own. It would take 7 of her tiny ones to make my big one.

"Hello bella ragazza. I'm your papa." I kissed her hand and she blushed. My beautiful baby girl. I missed so much of her life. She's turning 5. That's too long that I've been away from her.

"Are you coming to my party? It's today." She told me.

"Why yes I am my principessa. This is for you." I handed her the gift and Rae looked at her.

"Mommy can I open the gift..."

"When it's time. Go put it with the rest."

"But momma it's from papa. He's different please mama plea-"

"Go Nielle go. Just open it." She said knowing she can't get past that face.

She'd do the same with me when I wanted something.

"Rae...you haven't changed one bit. You still look beautiful as ever.

She puts her hands under her chin, palm down with her eyes closed and mouth in a grin and says "well Zai you know what they say...black don't crack. Or melanin ain't fading so ain't no sense in waiting."
