Hunter's p.o.v
"Wakey wakey" a tiny voice whispers into my ears and it echoed straight
in my mind till I felt it was a part of my dreams.
" Upty Doo.. the sun is shining" she whispers again and then I agree it
wasn't actually a dream but a full blown realistic voice.
" Rise and shiiiiiiiiiiiine"
I groaned and turned around so I was laying on my back. Slowly and
grudgingly opening my eyes till I met with bright blue ones that shined
like a midnight star.
" You're up early" I chuckled and sat up straight and ran my hand
through her hair to smoothen out it's roughness from her nights rest.
" Mommy would soon wake up and she'll not see me in bed" the small girl
pouted but her eyes held more mischief than she was letting on.
" So.... Do you want to go back to the room?" I asked with a smirk and
she responded with a smirk also which literally surprised me.
I'd say this girl and I were alike in so many ways evil.
" I wanna play hide and seek with momma" her voice dropped to a minimum
and I was beginning to wonder if her night stay in my presence rubbed
off some cunning nature under her skin.
Hide and seek indeed.
" Fine, what's the time?" I stretched out to my bedside table and took
my watch.
" Five twenty two. Let's sleep a little longer don't you think" I
continued as I placed the watch back safely.
With a short giggle, she cuddled up to my chest again and squeezed her
eyes shut.
I personally know she wouldn't be able to get some more sleep because of
the plan she has in store.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I had assumed, we got no sleep at all.
She was still resting on my chest with her eyes glowing and a heavy
smile on her lips.
So rather,the little girl and I spent the little time we had talking
about how she wants to be when she grows up.
She's seriously the most ambitious kid I've ever seen.
" Then I'll put on some heels like the ones mommy wears. They'll all be
black. With a black T-shirt, a black trouser, then I'll wear rings on
three fingers. Here here and here" she gladly said as she pointed out
the tiny phalanges that she'd place the ring on.
I laughed at her loveliness. I was really a douchebag by not liking
this girl from the start. She's so adorable.
" With time Louie. You wouldn't even know when you'll begin to live it"
I patted her flowing hair gently as I let out some contributions but
mostly listened.
It's actually the truth. Some years ago I used to be that high school
boy who ruled the land with a lot of drugs, women and money.
Now I'm someone who's trying to stay alive from what I created in the
past.
How time flies.
"I wanna become an artist just like you" she looked up at me and smiled
widely.
It got me laughing again and I had to ask " who says I'm an artist?"
" Durh... See your walls! They're amaaaaaaziiiiiing!!" She drew out and
I've never had such a laughing fit before in my life.
" I'm not an artist sweetie, I'm a business man"
" Business man?" Her brows creased " what kind of business?"
" Hmm.. how do I explain this? Do you know Brooks and Shields?"
" Brooks and Sheeds?"
" No love. Shields."
" Of course I know it! That thing is written on all mommy's books and
she tells me any book with Brooks and uhmm... Shields I shouldn't use
them for my drawings" she huffed.
I really couldn't stop myself from laughing once again.
" Well that's my business. I own Brooks and Shields"
She gasped and jumped into a sitting position.
" You're the reason I can't draw on more books" then she literally
glared at me.
I chuckled and followed her position by sitting up too. Then I picked
her up and placed her in my lap.
" I'm sorry" I whispered when I leaned into her ear.
" Fine" her arms came crossed and she pouted and me.
" Boop" I softly pinched her nose bridge to initiate a little play so
she'd get out of her amusing foul mood.
And it worked because she laughed.
"Mr Hunter what's your favorite color?" She grabbed two of my fingers
and twisted them into a cross.
" Hmm.. I think black. What about you?" I asked back.
" Mine too!"
I chuckled again and raised my two arms not far from her face to
receive a double high five.
" Okay, okay. What about your favorite food?" She asked when she placed
her small palms in my respectively larger ones.
" I don't have any. But blue cupcakes are delicious"
" Aaaaaahhhh!!!! You stole my food!" She laughed so hard at that, she
had to clutch her belly to avoid throwing up.
" I like banana smoothies or milkshakes or any banana drink" she
continues with a smile still etched on her lips.
" Aww.. I don't really like bananas" they've never been one of my
favorites.
" It's okay. We can still be friends if you don't. Boop" she repeated my
actions by gently pinching the bridge of my nose and I laughed at it.
" Louisa how old are you?" I began straightening up her hair as I looked
up to the clock in my room.
It's high time she got ready for school. Six fifteen.
" I'm five! One two three four five" she indicated whilst counting her
fingers.
Five? She looks so small.
I think she's lying about that.
" Your mommy told you that you're five?" I wanted to confirm
" Yes she did" with a wide grin plastered on her face.
Maybe that's why Iris is hiding her father. Possibly a high school
fling.
" Okay. Now we have to-" a knock interrupted our discussion but it was
followed by iris's terrified voice talking to someone.
" Come in" I called out and Louisa couldn't keep her growing smile at
Bay.
" I'm so sorry for disturbing you Hunter but have you seen Louisa I've
be-" her eyes literally became as large as saucers when she sighted the
girl she was looking for on my lap.
Iris was still in her pyjama shirt and shorts and her hair was as
disheveled as it could ever be.
I could only imagine what thoughts had crossed her mind on Louisa's
where abouts.
Edward stood directly behind her as the door was opened and his
expression too was priceless.
" Mommy!! You've found me!" Louisa shouted then scurried off the bed to
go hug her mother.
" F-found you?" If I could tell by the way her face looked ghostly, I
would say she believes we're all from Candy Land.
" Yeah.. she was playing hide and seek and decided to hide in here" I
shrugged.
" Uh.. I see. Uhm... Okay, well. Thanks." She picked up the little girl
and carried her out of the room.
I decided it was also time to get ready for work.
So I got up from the bed and walked straight into the bathroom.
Surprisingly, I miss the little girl already and she just left.
