In Debt

"Mary please stop staring at me."

She snorts and looks at me tsking.

"So you and Mr.Ottava..."

I groan refusing to look into her eyes.

"What about Mr.Ottava?" I ask innocently.

She roll her eyes, "you are so blushing."

"Look I'm not sure about...well anything," I look at Eva. "I'll tell you more later."

She nods and sets down the cart of food before winking at me and walking away. I get up and walk down the steps joining Eva on the ground. She's playing with some of her toys that Anthony got her for christmas.

"Your birthday is coming up."

She smiles at, "yup and-and Anthony tolled me he'll take me somewhere." She pushes her stray curls away from her face.

I fix her ponytail staring at her in amusement. "he said he'll take you somewhere?"

She nods handing me a doll, "yea he said it's a surprise."

I smile lightly. I didn't even know he knew her birthday. He surprises me often. Eva hangs out with Anthony way more than Rhett. In fact Eva never hangs out with Rhett. He's a busy man but it's werid that he dosen't talk to Eva.

"Fluff ball hahah." Eva laughs pointing at my dog.

My eyes widen as I see fluffball dig in the flowers a big hole forming. "Fluffball! No bad dog.'"

I get up and pick the dog up as it escapes and runs to Eva licking her face and getting dirt on her clothes. I nod my head as Eva laughs petting the dog.

I look at the ground. I'll fill up the hole after we eat. I look up as one of the guards come over and bends down but I hold up my hand.

"No it's ok I'll fix it after I eat but thank you." The guard nods at me and goes back to his original spot.

I walk over to the gazebo and lift Eva up. I set her on the chair as she kicks her legs back and forth.

"Let's see..ohh yummy some sandwiches."

I cut her sandwich in half and hand it to her as she bites into it hungrily.

I take my sandwich and start munching onto it.

"Would you like something else?"

Me and Eva jump in our chairs as Rhett joins us.

"Oh Rhett goodness you scared us."

He smiles at me before sitting down on the chair.

"Are you having fun out here?" He asks Eva and she nods quietly as she eats. She looks down at her swinging feet and I place my head on my hand and stare at her.

I glance at Rhett and raise my eyebrows saying 'hey what you expect"

He sits there uncomfortable as we eat until Eva raises her voice.

"Leslie when's Anthony coming back? He promised to play toys with me." She pouts and reaches for her cup.

I hand it to her. "umm Eva Anthony will be back soon right Rhett?"

I glance at Rhett as he stares at the table before his silver eyes look up, "yea soon.."

"O okey." Eva says frowning and taking a sip of her juice.

I let out a sigh pushing my food away. Now seeing how Rhett and Eva aren't close at all makes me sad. Rhett is the one I'm with not Anthony. It seems as if Anthony is way more in my life.
