Toma una Foto (A Prince Royce Fan Fiction)

Chapter 14-Si El Mundo Fuera Mio Se Lo Daria

"I don't know how to even thank you enough.", said Adrienne. "Even though I probably thanked you a million times already."

"Its completely fine. Trust me. I had nothing to do tonight. My only plans were to play some video games, eat and maybe sleep." I said with a laugh. "Plus, you guys are great company anyway."

We both glanced over at Marylin who was busy quietly eating her cinnamon roll and taking sips of hot chocolate as she drew a picture. Adrienne smiled. "God, i've missed her."

"I can see why. She's such a well behaved kid."

"I'm so glad you know about her now. Its nice not to have to keep my own child a secret. And you took it pretty well."

"Yeah, it must be a huge weight off your shoulders...how did Omar take it?"

She shrugged. "He was pretty understanding too.", she said, taking a sip of her drink. "But can you promise me you wont tell any of the other guys...especially..."

"Especially who?", I asked even though I was ninety-nine point nine percent sure she meant Antonio.

"No one. I just don't want anyone else knowing for now."

I nodded. "I completly understand, Adrienne. You have my-" I was cut off when my phone rang. "Im sorry." I said apologetically.

"Its fine. You can take it.", she said. Her smile.

I smiled back and went out to take the call. It was Dre.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Royce. I, uh, dont mean to drop another bomb on you so sudden but me, Serg and the team were talkin' and... you kinda have to make an appearance."

"Oh, no thats fine. Where at? Jersey? Philly?"

Dre coughed. "No... uh...try Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic."

Damn, that was unexpected. "Oh...well, thats sudden but ...okay. When exactly?"

"The week after Thanksgiving. But Im glad you can make it. Its good press. I gotta go now but I'll see you and Adrienne then."

"Wait wh-"

He hung up.

Shit.

Now I had to throw another curveball at Adrienne. I slowly walked back into the Starbucks, where Adrienne was showing Marylin how to draw a cat.

Adrienne's smile faded when she looked up and saw me. "Is everything okay?", she asked.

"Oh, yeah. Todo está bien.", I lied, forcing a smile.

"Mommy, I'm tired.", said Marilyn suddenly.

Adrienne checked the time. "Yeah, it is getting kinda late."

"Well, Vamos. The Mercedes awaits.", I said, as if on cue.

Adrienne gave a greatful smile as she gathered up thier stuff.

"I had a great day today, Mommy.", said Marilyn, placing her small hand in Adrienne's.

Adrienne looked down and smiled at her daughter. "Not as great as mine was.", she said. And I could tell she meant every word.

And thanks to me, I had to break that up again.

*Adrienne's POV*

Royce pulled up to the front of the apartment.

"Thank you so much.", I said one more time. "I promise this wont happen again. Tomorrow she'll be in day care and I'll actually be able to get a full workday in."

Royce smiled halfheartedly. "Its okay. I actually had a nice time with you guys Just remember to go to the office tomorrow and I'll pick you up from there later." His mind seemed like it was somewhere else.

"Are you sure you're okay?", I asked.

"yeah...its just...I got alot on my mind at the moment."

"Oh...alright." I looked back at Marylin who looked like she was on the verge of falling asleep. "Well, we should get going now." I got out of the car and got Marylin out.

"I'll see ya tomorrow, Adrienne.", called Royce.

"Yeah. See you then."

Marylin and I made out my way inside and I heard him drive off in the distance.

I quickly helped Marylin get changed and wash up for bed.

"Just get comfortable, mi'ja. Im sorry that I'm not in a nicer place." It felt weird apologizing to a three year old about that but she was my daughter and I felt like she deserved better.

"It's okay...", she said sleepily. "Goodnight. I love you."

"I love you too, sweetheart."

And with that she fell asleep.

it's funny. When I first got pregnant, I had no idea how I could begin to love someone so much. But now I knew.

And I felt horrible that my daughter was sleeping on a blowup matress in a studio apartment. I dont know exactly why but at that moment, I started to cry.

I would give anything just to make sure she had all she needed and more. Even if that meant we had to be apart again.
