She hates me now!

Once I left the gym, I took a quick shower. My bones were sore from hitting the punching bag for hours. Sleep eluded me all through the night and the best way to let go of the memory lurking behind the door of my brain was to hit the gym or find. someone to beat up.

As I walked down the stairs, I could hear Reina giggling. That sound was my second favorite in the world. She was laughing. at something or maybe someone was telling her a joke. I was curious to know what was getting her all happy so early in the morning. By the time I got to the foot of the stairs, I realized it was her and Nibbles. They were both laughing at something Nibbles was playing on her phone. Reina was dressed already in school uniform, ready to leave.

“Good morning, Uncle D.” Reina was first to spot me. The light it her eyes shone brightly and a large smile graced her lips. I’ll never understand how a child can be so happy to see someone they just met. She would definitely be the end of me if Nibbles doesn’t. Her smile was the same as that of Nibbles.

“Good morning, Reina. Slept well?”

“Perfect,” She answered, throwing the heart sign she just made with her fingers at me.

“New word?” I hummed. She pointed to the screen of the device Nibbles was holding. So I guessed that was where the new word was coming from.

Reina’s brilliance and intelligence were astonishing. She never stopped yearning to learn new words.

“Mama, Uncle D is here,” Reina touched Nibble’s face so she could look up at me but she didn’t. I knew she was very well aware of my presence, what transpired between us last night caused a bigger rift and I was all over my head trying to find a way to bring us even closer than before.

“Morning, Nibbles,” I decided to acknowledge her first. She lifted up her head for the first time that day and our eyes met but it didn’t last for more than a second. She looked away again and focused on the device.

I’d never been jealous of an innate object but I wished I was that device. I wished she looked at me with so much a well. *ck! I fisted my palm and gritted my teeth. I almost turned into a puddle when she looked at me the second eyes locked in for a few seconds. Her eyes reminded me of almonds and honey. Calm, attractive, and *ucking beau could stare at her all year long and not get tired of those beautiful eyes.

“Hmm,” She hummed.
