Chapter 28: Entangled Part I

Chapter 28: Entangled Part I

****Abigail's POV****

"Hello, dad?" I answered, balancing my phone between my ear and shoulder as I continued unpacking my boxes.

"Sweetie, are Celeste and you doing okay?"

"Yeah, dad. Thanks. It's a lot easier now that Maria came along with us. It's such a huge relief." I stated as I folded Celeste's purple Disney top and placed it on her stack of clothes.

My father couldn't bear the idea of just sending Celeste and me on our own to London and the idea of keeping Celeste in some nursery or under the care of some foreign nanny until I came back from university irked his very being. So he asked our nanny who had been with Celeste ever since she was born to come along with us and offered her a very huge raise that was difficult to reject. Now I had Maria to rely on while I was here.

"Don't you worry, dear. You'll be fine there. When do classes begin?"

"They begin from tomorrow, dad. I'm really excited to start my course." I beamed after I was done unpacking the last box. Phew, that was hard.

"Of course you're." He chuckled.

I smiled while watching Maria coo Celeste to sleep.

"How's my granddaughter? I miss her already." He whined.

"She's fast asleep right now. Really thankful for that, though. All hell breaks loose once she's up." I chuckled nervously.

"You were a lot like her back when you were a baby." He commented.

"I must've been such a pain in the ass."

He chuckled softly and then his tone got serious.

"Abigail, I want to wish you luck to get your relationship back to normal with Aaron. I don't want to hate the boy and all I wish for is your happiness..."

I sighed softly as I guessed what was coming.

"But if the boy isn't ready to be a father, don't force Celeste onto him. Let him take his time to digest the situation. This news is going to shake him to his very core and don't throw it on him like a bomb. Settle down there and work on your relationship with him, clear things out and when you feel the time is right, have the both of them introduced." He advised, cautiously, fearing I would get ticked off.

"Yeah, dad. That's exactly what I was planning on doing. Don't want him to run away, you know?" I chuckled nervously but let out a panicky breath since I couldn't doubt the chances of that happening.

"Don't you worry, child. It'll all be okay. And sweetie, just one last thing. Don't hate me for this." He pleaded.

"What is it, dad?"

"Try not getting caught by the media. It's not like I'm not happy where you're at right now but I don't want gossip erupting at this moment."

I tried not to roll my eyes. "Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

After saying our goodbyes, I hung up and informed Maria I had to go to the grocery store to get food and other basic necessities for our small apartment at Kensington High Street. Our apartment was called Kensington 103-125 and we lived in 114. We had landed in London late last night. It felt really nice to come back to the place I was born and brought up till the age of 5! It was a beautiful yet chilly Sunday morning here and I wanted to get things bought before the weather got too chilly. I also had Uni to attend the next day at Oxford. The course I had chosen was Diploma Art Design and Media level 1 and it had been almost a week since the beginning of the semester. I was way too excited to start with the course since I had always been passionate about art!
