Story Of My Life ✔

The Voice

I wake up to someone peppering my face with kisses. I open one eye and see Ivan smiling down at me. And then he attacks my sides, tickling me. I squeal and squirm, trying to get away from him. Ivan laughs and eventually stops.

"Good morning my reina." Ivan said, pulling me into his side. It was his new nickname for me.

"Good morning my rey." I replied back and Ivan grinned. It was my new nickname for him. Ans yes, you all heard that. Skylar Ryan is learning Spanish. Rey means king. Reina means queen. Ivan pulled us up, we got dressed, and then he took us downstairs, to the kitchen. I put my hair in a messy bun and sat on the counter as Ivan made us some food.

Ivan handed me a cheese omelet and then I chowed down on it. It tasted amazing. "That was amazing." I commented and Ivan smiled.

"Thanks, babe." Ivan replied and I giggled. Once we finished, we lounged on the couch. Mocha ran down the stairs and right to our feet.

"Baby, please tell me you aren't going to leave me." Ivan said out of the blue while we were petting Mocha.

I gave him the look. "I could never leave you. I love you too much for that." I told him and Ivan burst out into a grin. After talking for awhile, we all decided to go on a walk. I grabbed Mocha's leash and attached it to her collar.

We began walking to the park. We sat down on a bench and Mocha jumped in Ivan's lap. We held hands and watched the little kids run around.

Two seven years olds, obviously twins, came up to us. They had curly red hair and blue eyes. "Can you come play with us miss?" The girl asked and I smiled.

"Sure, I'm Skylar." I said as I stood up after giving Ivan a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm Emily and that's Ethan." Emily told me and I nodded. "Let's go the slides!" I laughed and let her pull me to the slides. It took him awhile, but Ethan eventually warmed up to me. We were all having fun, I liked these kids. But then a tall, buff looking guy came up to us.

"Ethan, Emily, come here." The guy said.

"Daddy! We made a new friend!" Emily squealed, jumping into the man's arms. Must be their dad.

"Is that so?!" The guys said and Emily and Ethan both nodded super fast. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jacob Miller. Thank you for entertaining my kids." I smiled.

"It was no problem. I enjoyed playing with them. Skylar, Skylar Ryan." I replied and shook hands with Jacob. And he froze while shaking my hand. His eyes widen.

"Ryan? As in Collin Ryan?!" The man questioned and I nodded slowly, unsure.

"Yah, he's my Dad? Do you know him?" Jacob laughed.

"Do I know him. Yes I know that little twerp. We used to be best buds in high school." Jacob told me and I smiled. Now that I think about it, Dad had mentioned a Jacob sometimes and I believe I've met him once or twice. "How is the old man anyway?!" I sighed.

"He went MIA two weeks ago." I said and Jacob looked sad.

"Im sorry to hear that. He was a great man and a great person. Let me know if anything comes up." I nodded. We talked a little longer and Jacob asked if I could watch his kids sometime. I agreed and we exchanged numbers. But as we were saying our goodbyes, a voice spoke.

"Jake? Sky-Bear?" The voice asked. I froze. So did Jacob.

-Hey guys! I just want to give a shout out to my best friend, MissJakePaul. She has an amazing book and you should maybe check it out if you want! If it wasn't for her, this book wouldn't be here!
