Chapter 69 69
Vanessa's POV
It was 9pm and Daisy was still energetic. Currently, Richard was giving her a piggy back ride seeing if it could tire her out. I was fighting back the sleep in my eyes
First, Joana and now, Daisy. The good thing is that Daisy is only staying for one night. Unlike Joana who stayed for a week. Gosh!
"My eyes are turning me!!" Daisy giggled. "Drop me down please!!!"
"Okay Princess" Richard dropped her down on the bed.
"Let's lay down. I love laying down between my mummy and daddy." She laid properly in the middle. I'm happy this is a king-size bed
"Really?" I tried to catch up with her before I doze off
"Yes. But I always wake up on my bed. It surprises me" She said, looking at the ceiling. "Turn off the light please"
"On it" Richard said, putting off the light
"Did mummy put my bed time story" Daisy asked
"Nope, I didn't find it when I looked" I answered
"Okay then. I'll tell you people about my school mates then" She said.
Oh goodness!
"Dai, how about we hear that over breakfast tomorrow" Richard said, connecting his Bluetooth to the speaker
"Why's that thing so loud?" Daisy sat up to look at the speaker
"Because it's a speaker. It's usually very loud" I clarified
"It can burst my eardrum?" She asked
"Yes baby" I nodded.
"But it's low now"
"Because uncle Richy doesn't want your eardrum to burst."
"Okay, it's time to sleep!" Richard laid on the bed.
"That's a baby song!" Daisy giggle
"It's also a princess song!" Richard said
"Go to sleep, little baby?"
"Yes?" Richard answered
"Why isn't it, little princess?"
"I'm hearing little princess though" I said
"Me too" Richard concurred
"No, that's not true" she shook her head.
"That's true"
"What's wrong with my ear then? Do I need to go for check up?"
"Yes!!!" Richard whisper yelled frustratedly.
Tell me about it
"My eyes are heavy." Daisy said weakly
The song is working!
"Shhh. Goodnight princess" I cooed
"Goodnight my favourite aunty and uncle" She sighed.
"Finally!!!!" Richard mouthed to me
"Finally" I whispered
"Wanna move her to the side?" Richard whispered
"That's not fair" I laughed
"Cock blocker" He whispered to the sleeping girl, making me laugh
"Goodnight babe"
"Goodnight cupcake" He said, dragging the duvet up our body.
"I'm so going to miss you two" Daisy smiled in my arms. She was currently sitting on my body while I braided her hair.
"I will miss you too" I said to her
"How about you uncle?" She called out to Richard who was busy with his phone.
"What is that princess?" He asked, dropping his phone
"Phones are going to spoil your eyes, Uncle. I was asking if you're going to miss me" She said
"Of course, baby!" He said, genuinely.
"I'm happy" She smiled. "Mummy!" She yelled, running to meet her mother.
I was serious when I said she was only staying for a night. Richard told me her mum was going to come get her this afternoon.
"Hi My Princess. I hope you disturbed Uncle" Sasha said to her daughter, picking her up.
"Yes mummy."
"Oh hey, Vee. I didn't know you'll be here. I'm sorry for the stress" Sasha said to me
"I know you thought I'd be dead by now but guess what? Your plan failed big sis" Richard mocked
"That you got lucky this once doesn't mean you'll be lucky next time and it also doesn't mean that I will stop trying." Sasha said. "Thank you so much Vee."
"It's nothing, Sasha. I really had a nice time with Daisy" I smiled.
"I made Uncle look like a princess!" Daisy announced
"Oh no, Daisy. You're supposed to be my person" Richard whispered.
"Show mummy the picture, Aunty Vee!" Daisy smiled.
"On it" I smiled, picking my phone and opening my gallery to show Sasha the picture I took
"Oh my goodness!" Sasha laughed. "Please send it to me!"
"No, no, no. It ends here" Richard took the phone from her immediately.
"Whatever. I should get going already. My husband is waiting for me somewhere" Sasha said, taking Daisy's bag from me.
"Daddy? Where's daddy?" Daisy asked, turning round to look for her dad
"We're going to meet him baby" Sasha said to her, walking out of the house. "Bye!"
"Bye Uncle and Aunty!" Daisy waved at us.
"Bye" I waved back at the cute child.
"Finally!" Richard said, pulling me into his body, making us crash into the couch.
"I know you've always wanted this moment" I laughed, sighing in content.
"I got something to show you babe" He tapped my ass lightly. I quickly got up so he could stand up.
He comes back with an envelope and stretches his hand to give it to me.
"What's that?" I eyed it suspiciously, taking it from him. "A visa to Paris?!" I yelled in awe
"This is me making up for the Valentine we couldn't celebrate, babe" He smiled
"Fuck! It's real babe" I squealed, standing to hug him tight
"You like it?" He asked
"I love it babe!" I smiled brightly, looking at the flight ticket. "This is really real!"
"It is, Cupcake" He smiled, sitting on the couch and pulling me into his body.
"When do we leave?" I asked
"In 2 days time" He said casually.
"In 2 days time?!!!!!" I yelled. "That's too sudden babe. I've not even packed. I can't pack in 2 days babe"
"Don't bother about those things. You know I don't like you stressing yourself. Our clothes are covered." He said, pecking my hair.
"What will I do without you?" I smiled at him
"Nothing at all" He said
"Shut up! That was a rhetorical question" I slapped his chest playfully.
"Still needed an answer" He laughed
"They usually don't need an answer" I smirked at him.
"I know, smart ass" He said biting my cheek playfully.
"Stop that, it's ticklish" I pushed him away playfully
"Are you rejecting your helper?" He smirked
"Me? How can I?" I played along. "Do I want my helper to dump me at the airport?" I laughed
"I'm glad you know what your helper is capable of doing" He said, smiling widely
"Who advised you to do this?"
"Are you saying I lack sense?" He frowned at me
"No! I'm just surprised that you came up with this" I said immediately, not wanting to sound rude
"I didn't give you anything both on New Year and Valentine so this is the least I can do. I know it's not enough but..."
"Stop right there! This is perfect!" I cooed, cupping his cheek.
"Kiss me" He said
"Why would I do that?" I laughed
"Because I asked" He held me tightly.
"Nope, I won't kiss you" I shook my head
"I tried asking nicely" He said, tickling me.
"Stop!!! Please" I said, laughing and swatting his hands away
"Kiss me"
"Fineee" I groaned, holding his hand to stop him from tickling me. I leaned in to give him a quick peck on the lips
"You're not serious" He said, continuing his attack on my ribs
"I'll kiss you well. Pleaseee" I begged, laughing vigorously.
This man.
