Adopted Without a Sin

Chapter Twenty-Nine

They finally got to the hotel and got out of the car. Lafayette had been trying her best not to cry. She hates crying, especially in front of people. "Kitten comes here," Misha told her and Lafayette did as told.

Misha wrapped his arms around his daughter and brought her into a hug. "I love you, every piece of you," Misha said, kissing the top of her head. "I love you too dad," Lafayette told her father, hugging him back. Lafayette sniffles and choked up on trying not to cry.

"It's ok baby, it's ok. You can cry, I got you." Misha reassured her. Lafayette broke and started to cry heavily, head up against Misha's chest. Misha held her close and stroke her hair gently. "It was scary dad." Lafayette cried out softly, voice cracking slightly. "I know, I know. I got you now, it'll be ok, I promise you." Misha said in a gentle voice.

"It was too much, I hate it! I hate it!" Lafayette spoke up a little. That hit Misha hard and he felt he was going to tear up. His little kitten is crying and sad, making him feel the same way. Pain. Everything was just painful.

Up in the room in the hotel, Lafayette curled up on her bed in a ball. Misha came and sat on the bed beside her and moved the hair out of her face, mascara smeared around her eyes. "Let's get you cleaned up. Briana gave me some makeup remover wipes before we left." Misha said.

Lafayette sat up and looked him, her green eyes surrounded by a bloodshot red color. Misha takes a wipe from the thing and gently and easily removed some make-up off of Lafayette's face. "I could do it, dad," Lafayette told Misha. "I got it kitten," Misha said, wiping a bit more make-up off her face. "I just want you to know, that you always have me if you need to talk to somebody," Misha told her. "Ok." Lafayette sniffles.

After the make-up was all off, it was almost 2 in the morning. "Whoa. You need to sleep. Go brush your teeth and go to bed." Misha told Lafayette. Lafayette nodded and headed towards the bathroom. Misha watched her as she did.

Misha really does love her and wants the best for her. He doesn't want Lafayette crying, he doesn't like it, he doesn't like anybody crying. Lafayette, to him, was special in a good way. Never has he met a kid like Lafayette and glad to have her as a child of his.

(I am so freaking scared because when I went to the bathroom, I turned off the lights while the other lights were off and I said, 'Hello darkness my old friend' and I stayed still. I HEARD SOMETHING MOVE!)
