The King, His Queen, and Princess

2.

I stand there flustered for a couple more seconds before someone calls my name. I groaned before picking up the receipt from their table and something told me to check the back and when I did I gasped. It was a number. His number.

Call me, you look like you're a good fuck. :)

917-556-7008

I growled loudly before crumpling the small paper. I just wanted to throw the paper out but then I thought about it.

Yes. I want to save his number.

I take out my phone quickly and type in his number into my contacts.

'Stranger' is the name I chose for him.

I roll my eyes before stuffing my phone into my back pocket. I walk over to the next table to take their orders.

"Momma!" Alessa yells as she tackles me into a hug. I came to pick her up at her babysitter's house and I could tell she was happy.

"Hi, baby!" I say before hugging her back and kissing her head. I pull back and stand to my full height. A scowl rose to my face when I saw what my daughter had become.

Her braid was destroyed. Her shirt was stained all over the place and her pants were ripped on the knees.

"Mhm. Did you have recess today?" I ask as I cross my arms over my chest.

"I'm sorry, Momma. We were playing tag and I tripped," She pouted and my lips twitched upwards. I was trying so hard not to cave in and to stay mad at her but have you seen her?

"Okay, baby I forgive you," I cave in and she giggles before wrapping her arms around my legs. I picked her up and we walked to our car.

"Do you want to get burgers?"

"Yes!" She screeches with happiness. I sit her down in her car seat and then walk to the driver's seat. As soon as I turned on the car, the radio came blasting on causing both of us to jump.

"Wow, Momma were you having a concert in here before?" She giggles and I laugh.

"Maybe," I answer her adorable question and make my way to our favorite burger place. I drove into the drive-thru and I ordered 2 cheeseburger meals. My baby may be mini but she can surely eat.

"Thank you, Momma," Alessa says after I say our order into the speaker. I smile at her through the rear-view mirror. I drive up to the first window and the first thing that comes into sight is a young boy who instantly smiles when seeing me. I smile back before handing him a twenty-dollar bill. I watch as his eyes trail down to my cleavage that has formed because of my top. I frowned before snapping my fingers.

"My face is up here sweetheart," I say and his eyes snap back to my face causing him to flush. He gives me my change and I scoff and drive on to the next window. They pass me my food and I thank them and ask for lots of BBQ sauce because I love it. Our drive home was full of music and laughter as she pointed out how random people were acting strangely in the streets. Reason 10000 why I want to get her out of this area. I parked in our usual parking spot and then grabbed the food. I shut off the car and opened my door. I slung my purse over my shoulder and then helped Alessa out of her car seat.

Together we walk to our apartment. I unlock the door and we step in together. She ran to the kitchen area as I closed and locked the door.

"Hold on Pumpkin, we have to wash our hands," She nods before shrugging her backpack off and running to the bathroom. We wash our hands and then make our way back to the kitchen table.

"Thank you again, Momma," She said and I smiled.

"You're welcome, Pumpkin,"

While we ate, she told me stories about what she did at school today and how her day was amazing. She told me about how she made slime in science class. It is truly such a satisfying feeling knowing your kid loves school.

"How was your day, Momma?" She asks and I hum before swallowing some of my drink.

"Well, I had an amazing day," I say and she gives me the sweetest smile.

I met this sexy guy who looked familiar but it was hard to decipher where I knew him from.

"I'm happy that you did, Momma," She says as she jumps off her seat and throws away the rest of her garbage. She runs off to the living room to start her homework I suppose. I sit down next to her on the floor and make sure to correct her mistakes and help her with problems she doesn't understand.

After she was done, we walked to the bathroom and got ready to take a bath. The reason we have to take baths together is that the water supply is not enough for both of us. I turn on the water and help her take off her stained clothes. She gets into the bath and plops down as the water rises slowly. I take off my clothes as well and sit in the bathtub with her. I take the rest of the braid out for her and let her long dirty blonde hair fall loosely. I get the small container we use and fill it with water. I pour the water over her head. She giggles before leaning against me.

"I'm tired, Momma," She whispers and I chuckle.

"Okay, just let me wash your hair also you have to wash your body as I taught you. Then you can go to bed." I say and she nods and sits back up. I grab the bottle of shampoo that is on the side of the tub and squirt some in my hand. I wash her hair three times and then wash it out. I grab the conditioner and rub it into her hair. I clip it up and then she stands to wash her body with our dove body wash. I taught her to grab her underwear soap it up and then use it as a sponge. Kills two birds with one stone.

)))

I stepped out of the tub by myself because after I unknotted Alessa's hair she ran off to the room. I brush my teeth and then I moisturize my body. I put on deodorant and hair products in my hair. I walked out of the bathroom and smiled when I saw Alessa cuddled up with her teddy bear on the bed. I laugh softly and change into some boy shorts and an oversized T-shirt.

I turned off the lights and then got under the covers. I hugged a passed-out Alessa to my chest as I closed my eyes and prepared myself for a night of well-deserved beauty sleep.

The only issue is... When I close my eyes all I can see are his silver eyes and I swear they are exactly like Alessandro's deep silver eyes. In fact, Alessandro is one of the only men I have ever met in my life with such beautiful and intense eyes. There are so many secrets, emotions, and even pain behind those beautiful eyes. 

Seeing that man today has awakened so many feelings that I try so hard to subdue. I'm a woman with womanly needs but I have hope that one day we will be reunited. Until then my body is off limits to any person that is not him and if I have to be celibate for the rest of my life then so be it. 

If we are meant to meet again we most definitely will...
