Chapter 72

Lisa Hughes

“What if I say yes? It has been hours already, but those words kept replaying in my head as I smiled like a teenager who just had her first love. The feeling was magical, it was hard to believe that Nick and I started dating as of today.

“You look happy today. Did something special happen?” I almost jumped out of my skin when Ella’s little voice drew my attention, and I jolted back to reality only to find her standing in front of me while hugging her teddy bear tightly to herself, her little cute eyes piercing into mine suspiciously

“Did you say something?”

“Something special must’ve happened. You are not the type to be this happy. The aunt Lisa I know is not always a cheerful person,” I frowned deeply as watched her drag her legs to sit beside me on the couch.

“I’m a cheerful person,” I retorted, and she scoffed.

“I’ll just pretend you are,” She waved her hand in the air dramatically, and I scoffed

“Where’s Dad, by the way? He’s supposed to be back by now,” She looked at me with concern.

Your Dad is an adult, and he’ll return home when he’s free, ok?” I patted her hair briefly as I forced a smile at her, I was in such a happy mood tonight that I didn’t want anything to ruin this for me, I didn’t want to get distracted by anything other than the thought of Nick.

“You are so mean,” She huffed as she stood up then glared at me and finally walked off. I breathed out in relief once she was out of sight.

“Finally! She’s off,” I tucked my hair behind my ear then reached for my phone and unlocked it. I exchanged numbers with Nick earlier although I haven’t saved it yet..
