Chasing Love

Ana

6 months later..

Today makes Dylan and I officially dating for six months straight. I had never been this happy in my life ever, even after my previous relationship with Justin. Dylan is such a sweetheart because he treats me like a queen. He asks me cheesy questions like "how was your day" or "did anything exciting happened today". We hung out as much as possible when we had time because Dylan started back working in the office about two months ago. He was on vacation because of his divorce. The man was traumatized with the majority of the drama with Dallas and how annoying she was.

However, speaking of pretty Miss run away. From what Dylan had told me, according to Dallas' mother she said, Dallas ran away with a new boyfriend to experience a new lifestyle and left their four-year-old daughter behind for Dylan to take care of her since Dallas' mother Dianna is ill momentarily and cannot watch her all by herself.

I despise the fact of how irresponsible that bitch can be of leaving her daughter behind who is only four. She's only fucking four! I need to stop stressing over her dumb decisions.

Lelia would not stop crying some nights because she wanted her mother when I'm left alone with her. Dylan and Lizzy both at work when I have an off day or come in early. I will comfort her all night long with her in my arms until she falls asleep with dried tears on her cheeks. I hate seeing her pain and Dylan too. Dylan's actions towards the situation concern me because he hated that Dallas would do that.

After a long day at work, I drove straight to Lelia's daycare to pick her up. I cut the ignition and hop out, locking my doors, before entering the double doors of the building. The lights were dim with smooth music filling the room. There were kids spread out all over the room.

I spotted one particular face that I was looking for; it was Lelia.

Oh, sweet and beautiful Lelia.

I greeted the caregiver and paid her. She thanks me and nodded as I quietly walked over to Lelia. There were light snores coming from her mouth. I grabbed her, putting her in my arms with her head on my right shoulder and her bag on my other. I unlocked the backseat car door and smoothly placed Lelia in her car seat and buckling her in quickly.

The ride home was short. I placed Lelia in Dylan's old room since we shared my room. I changed her into her pajamas and going to my room before changing into mine.

Lelia is currently living with us now until further notice. However, I love having Lelia here because one day I will like to have my own children one day but I will always treat Lelia like she's one of my own since her mother is doing a horrible job at it.

I scoffed walking out of my room to the living room. I turn on the television with the volume low not to wake up Lelia. Suddenly my phone started to vibrate. I was getting a call from Dylan.

"Hello?"

"Hey." He said.

"You just made it home?" He asks being the caring man he is. I nodded and forgot he could not see me. My dumb ass.

"Yes, and I picked up Lelia," I told him there was silence on the other end but it wasn't weird it was comfortable.

"I will be home at 11 because I'm working on a late case with the team." He notifies clearing his throat.

"Alright, cool. Thanks for telling me because I would have been worried sick if something happened to you." I smiled to myself, happy about my relationship with Dylan. It's been something I always dreamed about.

He laughs, "Ana there is nothing to worry about. Nothing will happen to me because I have confidence I myself and I have you and Lelia." I smiled at his honesty.

"I know, but I love you." There goes my stomach doing flips.

"I love you too, Ana but I have to go. Give Lelia a good night kiss for me will ya?"

"I will."

The next morning, I was awakened by the bed moving constantly. I opened one eye and I spotted a jumping Lelia hopping up and down on the bed with Dylan on my right.

"Five more minutes." He mumbles.

"No daddy." Lelia wines.
I giggled lightly as I finally had the urge to raise up.

Dylan raised up with me, only to grab Lelia and tickle her rapidly with giggles and laughs filling the room.
"Hey, you feel like eating pancakes with whip cream and fruit." He asks Lelia. She nods as he ran to her room with her.
"Let's go get you ready." He shouted childishly.
I guess it was my cue to get ready too. God, I love how great of a father he is to Lelia.

As a group me, Dylan, Lelia, Jonathan, and Elizabeth went to IHOP for breakfast. It was getting close to Easter which is in 6 more weeks. We discussed that we will pay Dylan and Lizzy's parents a visit with balloons and flowers. Also, Lelia can go Easter egg hunting which every child should experience.

Lelia fits in with other kids because she was wealthy she got to experience what other kids do at a young age like trick n' treating, Easter egg hunting, St. Patrick's national Green Day, Valentine's Day, and other activities.
Lelia is still a toddler kind of but enjoys every bit of it. Liz and Jonathan decided to do their wedding next year in early March. Liz has already said it; I am her maid of honor and Lelia is her flower girl. Liz is so excited.

Today is the day that Dylan meets Tyler, my older brother. Tyler and I have had our ups and downs and not the best sibling bond. After I went on tour, Tyler was so jealous of me because all the fame that I was getting but fortunately, he has manned up and followed his dream of being an actor in a tv series called Teen Wolf along with Lizzy's boyfriend. Tyler is best friends with Jonathan. They did everything together just how me and Lizzy's friendship is.
Speaking of my brother, where he was walking in the door taking a seat across from me. He had stylish black hair and blue eyes. His body is toned and muscular with sun-kissed skin.

"Dylan, meet my asshole of a brother, Tyler." I rolled my eyes playfully but smiled.

"Hello to you to Ana, and nice to meet you, Dylan." He smiles.
