Ray's pov

Adeya and I have been getting to know each other more. She has been telling me about her friends, what she likes about them. Her favourite colour. A lot of information, but I'm glad. I feel like I know her a lot more now. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I know it's Isabelle, because other than her no one has this number, I didn't even give my P.A this number as I didn't want any disturbance, as for work emergencies, I put Oscar in charge.
Since it's Isabelle, I know she wants to speak with Adey so I just hand the phone over to her
Ade:"hello mama"
Ade:"I'm fine mama, how're you?"
Ade:"yes mama. Mashed potatoes and steak mama. It was yummy!"
My little girl sure does love her food. I wonder what Isabelle is doing now apart from speaking with Adey. Will she ask of me?
Ade:"its okay mama, I'm not mad."
Adey is tapping my lap, more like swatting my lap. She tells me Isabelle wants to speak with me. I'm so glad she cares. I know she does.
R:"hello"
I:"hey Good day"
R:"how're you?"
I:"I'm good. Just wanted to erm say hi. How's it going with Adey? Did she give you any trouble?"
R:"oh thanks. Very well. Oh no she's been a complete angel."
I:"oh okay then. See you tomorrow then. Bye.
R:" yeah. Bye"
It was a brief conversation but it was something. Better than nothing.

**few hours later**
After that call we've had a lot of fun activities. Adey and I just finished our tea party. I never knew this day will come that I'll be one of the dad's on the Internet attending tea parties with their daughters, with Teddy bears and plush toys as part of the guests. Adey said she wants a dog and I had to convince her to wait till she's a bit older. I couldn't promise her anything as I don't know isabelle's stand on pets. Adey was giving me puppy eyes and that's when I realised this little girl has me wrapped round her little fingers. I don't know how to say no to her. I mean all she had to do yesterday was look up at me with her  doe grey eyes that look like mine, I couldn't even say no to her request. Even yesterday night when she wanted to braid my hair I couldn't say no. Even with the tugging and pulling my hair, It still felt good.
R:"hey princess what do you want to do now?"
Adey:"I want to ride the ferris-wheel and carousel."
R:"okay then. Let's grab your coat"
We get to the fair and its packed with kids and their parents. Adey is so excited and hyper. I can't keep up. We've been on so many rides. A lot of cotton candy. Isabelle is going to kill me.
R:"sweetie no more candy, okay"
Ade:"but papa..."
R:"no buts sweetie. You're going to get cavities and your mama is going to whoop my butt if you do"
She starts laughing. I guess she knows her mum would.
As I'm waiting for Adey to get her face paint. A blonde walks up to me
Blonde:"hello"
R:"hello"
Blonde:"is that your kid?"
R:"yes that's my daughter... Can I help you with anything."
Blonde:"erm here's my card. Give me a call, we can meet up for lunch or dinner sometime"
R:"no thank you. I'm not interested"
Blonde:"oh oh right. No problem."
Did she just wink at me? Well sorry girls my heart belongs to one, no two people. I have just three women in my life altogether, my mum, Isabelle and Adeya. I'm more than content. Isabelle must be getting ready for that stupid date! If only there was a way to stop her! If that idiot does as much as hold her hand I'll cut it off. For that I have to know who he is first right? I don't want to spy on her date or have her followed. That will be intruding in her privacy and will just ruin any chance I have.
Ade:"papa how do I look"
R:"even prettier"
Ade:"prettier than moana?"
R:"way prettier Princess"
She squeals. I'm happy when she's happy. I'm a dad! I didn't expect to be this good at this dad thing. I thought it will be hard, but Adeya makes it super easy.
We're back home and I ordered some spaghetti bolognaise, I noticed Adeya likes it a lot. She didn't finish her food?, that's new.
R:"didn't you like your food?"
Ade:"i liked it but I think I'm stuffed."
R:"are you sure?"
She nods. I pile up the dishes, so they're in one place not scattered all over the place. That's a trait I picked up from Isabelle. Adeya and I watch one of her favourite cartoons, again. I've watched this show so much I think I know it word for word.
