My Little World

Chapter Nine

Tara's POV

The whole week was just stressful. I had so much work and everything seemed neverending to me. The whole time I was busy sorting the pending work, finalising some deals, finding a substitute for work and most importantly convincing my daughter.

I had no idea I'm raising such a stubborn girl. She wasn't ready to leave her friends and mostly Jessica and move. She had done everything in her three year old power to stop me from moving. No matter how much I tried to sweet talk her, she just wouldn't understand. It's difficult to make a child her age convince for something this complicated. All she cared about was leaving her friends and Jessica.

I finally convinced her with some stories and promises of new friends. I also told him Xavier is going to be there, which seemed to interest her. Although she still really doesn't understand why or what exactly does moving means, she's sad that she won't be seeing Jessica that often.

Now I'm heading home since I've some more packing left I entered and saw Jess and Emma watching television.

"Hey guys"

"Hello mommy" they both said in union.

I laughed "I'm going to change and come by and after that you my little baby off to bed and you my big girl, is going to help me pack"

"Okay mommy" they both said in union again.

I took a quick shower and changed into a baggy tshirt with booty shorts. I came out and see Jess sitting on the dining and eating. I sat next to her.

"Woah! You cooked Indian today?"

"Well yeah since its your last days and Emma likes it too. It's easier to feed her"

"I'm really going to miss you man"

"Yeah well ofcourse"

I put my spoon down and looked at her "I really haven't gotten a chance to talk to you about all this but are you okay? I mean you love Emma just as much as I do and even though she doesn't understand moving away properly, you do and you really haven't said anything."

"I didn't say anything because I'm trying my best to keep it together. Yes I'm going to miss Emma but more importantly I'm going to miss you. We've spend the most of our lives together and now knowing that you aren't going to be here is just depressing but I pushed you to do this because you deserve this and I want it for you."

I held her hand and gave it a squeeze "Thank you" I whispered

"Okay then. Let's get you packed now"

I laughed and got up. We washed the dishes and then went to my room to pack up the left overs. While we were packing my phone beeped. I went to see the person 'Xavier'. I frowned not knowing why would he message me.

Tomorrow is the date, remember?  I'll pick you up at 8. ;)
X.H

Although I replied I remember, but I didn't. I've been so busy this whole week that it slipped from my mind completely.

Also I think a part of me was trying to avoid this date. He is a kind of a person who can get under my skin and I don't want that to happen.

"You like him don't you? " Jess spoke breaking my trance

"Huh! No"

"You know you're a terrible liar" I rolled my eyes. "It's okay if you like him. He is likable"

"I know but I don't and I shouldn't considering everything."

"I get it okay? But you've taken so many responsibilities in such a young age that you've forgotten what living life means. You need to let it go sometimes. Enjoy yourself. Have fun. Make bad decisions about boys and get over it. Every person is not going to hurt you like he did."
