Unexpected Love

Chapter 26

Natasha up there 👆👆👆👆👆

I was about to turn to look at the person before a 5 year old beautiful looking girl ran up to my laps to sit,she was looking at me like a prized possession, touching my hair,face,lips, and everything,she hugged and kissed my cheeks countless times,she was really cute but this was creepy

"Sorry who are you..... I asked the little girl who couldn't stop looking at me

"My bad,my name is Sia Bells....
Sia Bells?
Okay Sia is my middle name but this girl here has my last name too,it can't be a coincidence right?

I looked back to face my worst nightmare and there he was looking glamorous and is it guilty?
"Daddy?........

"Pumpkin how are you,how have you been doing?.....he asked

"How I am doing?I guess you really needed to ask considering the fact that you left when I was 7,what do you want Matthew...... I asked him and I saw he was hurt cause I called him by his first name but I care less

"I want to apologise for everything.....

"Apologise? For what precisely?
The fact that you left?or the fact that I had to do odd jobs to sustain the home at 16?or the fact that mom drowned herself in bitterness and sadness or the fact that I had to act like a daddy to Daniel cause he was being bullied in school?or the fact that we went hungry to school for months,thanks to Liam for always sharing his food,or the fact that Daniel always cry for his daddy in  his sleep,what are you sorry for....... I said crying

"Im sorry baby.....he whispered

"Don't call me baby, you don't deserve us Matthew.... I said slamming my hands on the table,the whole restaurant became silent,Liam held my hand across the table,I already forgot they're there,Sia held me tightly with tears in her eyes, Marie was looking at me with pity and Xav was just there

I cleaned my eyes,took Sia from my laps and gently put her on the chair,i cleaned her teary cheeks before kissing her cheeks,,her father might  be an asshole but she isn't one,I stood up and left the restaurant not sparing any of them a glance, I begin to walk and walk till I was tired of walking,I decided to sit somewhere
I sat for minutes before a car settled at my front,I knew who it was already,Xavier came out and helped me into his car,he drove without saying a word and I really appreciated it

We got to his house and he made me sit down
"I'm not going to tell you not to cry babe,scream,yell,do something but don't keep it in.....he said before leaving and it was like a key to all my tears because I ended up crying,I screamed and cried for hours before I dozed off

I woke up in his room in a different cloth,I guess he changed me,I went in search of him and met him working on some files,I pulled his cheeks and sat on his laps

"Thank you......

"You wanna take about it now?.....he asked

"Yeah...
I was 7 and just got back from school happy cause my daddy was gonna carry me up and get me chocolates but I got home and met a different thing,I saw them argument,mom told me to rush off to my room but the last thing I heard was don't call me again before he left, Daniel was just 2
I asked Mom what happened but she brushed me off,she began to wander about not paying attention to us,blamed us for everything,I took care of Dan even though I was 7, I met Liam a year later who noticed everything,he began to share food with us,money and clothes but just Daniel could wear them,I was stuck to my old clothes
Daniel grew but he got bullied, always coming home with bruises yet mom never noticed cause she wasn't home,he became uptight,I decided to work to train us through school and other stuffs,I did jobs whenever Daniel was sleeping and get back an hour before he wakes up so we could go to school,this happened for years,I couldn't further when I finished high school cause Daniel was more important,we never grew up with a father's love or attention and now he comes to say he's sorry?

"I'm sorry Tash,I really am....he said hugging
Would you want to go back to school?

"I don't know honestly, I just want Daniel to.....

"This is bout you now babe not your brother, do you want to.....he asked again

"I'll let you know soon.....

"Okay....hungry?....

I nodded and he took me to the dinning table, I ate everything he cooked even though his food was a bit terrible but I didn't want him to feel bad,I cleaned up and  went to the room to sleep,I was about to doze off when I felt his presence close to me
He pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead,there's nothing more relaxing than being this close to the man you love

"I love you Xavier........ I said the words before sleeping
