Under His Moon

Chapter 5

HARPER'S POV

Finally reaching home early in the evening, I found Mrs. Debra reading to Mia in her room.

I stood by the doorway silently watching until Mrs. Debra finished. She stepped out and smiled at me.

"She was a bit fussy earlier, but she's better now." Mrs. Debra informed me,

"Thanks. I'll check up on her." I stated,

She grabbed her things and I bid her goodbye, closing the door behind her.

Letting out and deep breath, I went to my room and stripped out of my clothes.

After taking a quick shower, I threw on a large shirt and walked into Mia's room. I sat down on the rocking chair and watched as she slept.

I wasn't sure how long I spent there just in my thoughts, but at some point I managed to take myself to bed and fell asleep.

Morning.

The next morning I woke around nine which was kind of weird because Mia would be crying around six in the morning.

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and slowly walked out my room and towards Mia's room. Surprisingly she wasn't in her crib which had me completely confused.

"What... in the hell?" I asked aloud and looked around.

Maybe Mrs. Debra is here...

With that thought I walked into the kitchen not to find Mrs. Debra, but Zenith.

Both Mia and him sat at the table, him feeding her while she eagerly babbled at him.

"Zenith, what are you doing here? With my daughter no less?" I asked and they both looked over.

"I came to see that you'd be prepared for our date tonight. An elderly woman let me in and asked me to feed Mia while she delt with some things in the other room." He explained,

I nodded my head and just then Mrs. Debra walked in.

"Morning Harper. I hope you don't mind but I had this man feed Mia while I made some calls." She said with asked bright smile.

"No, it's fine." I shook my head and took a seat.

She placed a plate of food infront of me and poured a cup of coffee for Zenith.

"I made a reservation for you at a saloon and a dress will be brought here for you." Zenith stated firmly,

I opened my mouth to make some type of objection, but I simply shook my head and ate my breakfast.

"Next time ask me before doing all of that please." I stated,

I quickly finished and went to my room to get dressed. When I was done, I walked back downstairs and this time Zenith was in the living room talking to Mrs. Debra while Mia sat in Zenith's arms.

"Ok, I'm ready." I stated,

Zenith look up and nodded his head, getting up. I woke over to them and picked Mia up.

"I love you so much, baby." I cooed at her and kissed her cheek. She giggled and swung her chubby arms around.

Handing her back to mrs. Debra after a few more kisses, Zenith and I walked out.

He laid his hand on my lower back as we walked to the car and he held the door open for me.

Thanking him, I got in and waited as he got in and turned the car on.

The ride to the saloon was silent and I took the time to appreciate the city. Since weve arrived here, I haven't gotten to go siteseeing. Not long we pulled up to the saloon.
