Being the King of Pop's Daughter (sequel to Adopted by my Idol)

Chapter 36

Lucy's POV;
I finished packing Hartlyn's bag and I place it by the front door then I help her put her coat on.

"Right, you'll be a good girl for Daddy ok?" I speak as I stand back up

"I will" she smiles and I open the door "Daddy" she cheers running and jumping into Omer's arms

"Hey Princess" he smiles and kisses her cheek

"There's medicine in there she has to take before bed" I say handing the bag to him

"Why?"

"She had an ear infection, it's all gone now but she needs to keep taking it for the next few days"

"You didn't tell me"

"It's nothing major, I didn't realise I had to tell you straight away instead of now. You can't talk cause you didn't tell me that she fell over and cut her knee last week until you brought her home"

I lean in and kiss Hartlyn "see you tomorrow sweetie, I love you"

"Love you too" she waves and I go inside

I close the door and take a deep breath not letting the tears escape.

Omer's POV;
I put Hartlyn in the car and walk over to my side, before I get in I take a look at the door and sigh. I can't go any longer, next week will be our wedding anniversary and I'm not missing it. I made a vow, she's my life and I was an idiot to believe the article with no photos to prove it.

"Daddy"

"Yeah?" I ask and look at Hartlyn in the mirror quickly before looking back at the road.

"Why don't you live at home anymore? I miss you"

"I miss you too"

"Mommy gets upset when you're not here"

"She does?"

"Every night I hear her crying on the phone to Grandaddy"

That breaks my heart. I haven't slept much myself since I left but the thought of Lucy not sleeping worries me. I bet she's not eating properly either. I pull up at McDonald's and help Hartlyn out the car.

"What do you want sweetie?"

"Chicken burger with a strawberry milkshake please" she smiles

I nod ok and place our order. As soon as we sit down she does the usual; dig around the box for the toy.

"I finally got it, I've been hoping for this one for ages"

"Don't Mommy get one too to help your chances of getting them all?" I smile handing her my toy, yes I got a kiss meal don't judge.

"Mommy don't get them anymore cause when we go she isn't hungry so she just gets that orange and passion fruit frappy thing"

"Frappé" I correct, I bet earlier that she isn't eating properly? I was right

Lucy's POV;
I finish drinking my drink then I put the glass in the sink, the house is tidy so I officially have nothing to do. Dad has took the kids out today so I can't go there. I get a text off Lauren and I smile. She's made my day and is coming around.

20mins later
"Hey" I smile letting her in

"Hey" she smiles back "something has changed in here"

"New couches?"

"No, well yeah but that isn't it"

"Then I don't know what you're on about"

"Ah ha, there" she smiles pointing to the fireplace. There's a photo of me and Omer at prom as King and Queen with our crowns either side of the frame.

"They got moved there ages ago" I smile "what do you want to drink" I ask walking off to the kitchen

"One of those smoothies you always buy" she laughs following me

I pour some into two glasses handing her one

"So how have you been?"

"Good I guess. Omer got funny cause I didn't tell him about Hartlyn having an ear infection"

"You know he misses you too"

"Did I say I miss him?"

"You can't fool me Luce, I can see the hurt in your eyes. The way you looked at the prom photo. He came around ours last night to give Jordan that Xbox game back. He didn't shut up about you, he's thinking of so many ways to get you back. You can hate him as much as you say but your heart won't let you hate him and you can't hate him as much as he hates himself. Jordan said talking to him was like being back at school when there was rumours of him getting off with other girls"

I stare at her not knowing what to say, she has a point. I say I hate him but I don't. I force myself to say it. She hands me a tissue and hugs me.

"Don't let the media break you guys"

I hug her back and burst out into tears "I miss him, I want him back Lauren. He's my life, it's so hard without him here. The dogs have been playing up again, Hartlyn and her questions of why he isn't here. I can't do it, I need my husband"

"He wants you too, it's going to be ok I promise. When he drops Hartlyn off tomorrow talk to him ok?"

"Ok" I say pulling away and wiping my eyes

"How about we spend the day watching John Travolta?" She smiles

"I can't believe you're still obsessed with him" I laugh as we go to the living room again and put Grease on first.

"He's hot, you was obsessed with him too remember" she laughs

"He was good looking with long hair in Pulp Fiction."

"He's good looking with any hair. Now shush it's starting"

We both shut up and get comfortable as the movie starts
