Simon Cowell's Daughter

Chapter 21: Simon's Apology

Ariel POV:

I woke up to the sun shining through the window. Groaning, I covered my face with a pillow. A few seconds later I got up from my bed, put on my Tweety Bird slippers and leave my room.

When I make it down to the kitchen, I saw Simon cooking different types of food and still cooking many more.

" Why is there so much food? Do we have company coming over?" I sit down on the chair. Simon turn around and gives me a small smile.

"Actually I cooked all of this for you. I don't really know what you like to eat for breakfast. So... I cooked a little bit of everything that we have." Simon tells me scratching the back of his neck.

"You already know that I'm not that picky. So I'll pretty much eat anything." He nods and turns back to the stove, continuing to cook the bacon. I didn't touch anything ..yet. I just continued to watch Simon cook. When he finished cooking the bacon, he puts it on a plate and sets it down on the table.

"I'm sorry about everything yesterday." Just as he apologized I looked straight at him. "It wasn't right of me to judge Ryder at all. I shouldn't have listened to what other people say. I should have got to know him myself." He sat down next to me and sighed.

"I forgive you but it's not just me that you need to apologize to." Telling him the truth.

"I know. I promise when Ryder comes to visit next time. I will make it right with him as well." Simon gives me a huge kiss on the cheek. I wore a disgust expression on my face feeling his slobbery kiss on my cheek and wiped it away with my hand. He laughs and continues to cook the food on the stove.

Just as I was filling my plate with food I hear the doorbell ring.

"Can you check who that is?" Simon asks me.

I groan , pulling myself up from my seat and went to go open the door. When I opened the door, I saw Ryder standing in front of me.

"Hey Ryder. What are you doing here?" I curiously ask him.

"Your dad invited me here. I don't know why but he wanted to see me. By the way I love your Tweety Bird pajamas and matching slippers." Ryder gives a teasing smile. I can feel my cheeks heating up and turning red.

"Shut up. Are you going to come in or should I close the door on your face." I said getting ready to shut the door.

"Nononono... I'm coming in. Sheesh someone got something up her butt." Ryder says getting in. I stifk out my tongue and he did the same.

After our childish fight, Ryder and I decided to head to the kitchen. "Woah. Look at all of this food" Ryder says all amazed. He grabs a plate and starts to fill it up with food.

"He eats just as much as Niall. If we keep inviting him here, we won't have any food left." Simon jokes. I laughed with Simon and agreed. I sit next to him and started to eat what was on my plate.

Twenty minutes later all of the boys woke up and entered the kitchen. "Good morning Sleeping Beauties. Had a nice sleep." I tease them.

They all sat down and started to put food on their plates. Niall sat right next to me and Zayn decided to sit next Ryder. Everybody was in their own little conversation.

Simon POV:

After eating breakfast I ask Ryder to follow me to my office.

"Here have a seat Ryder." He slowly goes to one the chairs and sits down. I can tell that he was uncomfortable and nervous .

"The reason why I asked you to come here is because I wanted to apologize for how I acted yesterday. I was out of line."

Ryder looks up right at me. Giving me more of a shocked expression.
