Chapter 51

Dante was becoming unbearable!

From whisking Hayley away at the most random times during the day to partake in what ever activity or random doings to inviting himself to our meal times especially breakfast which was now a full on daily event unlike before.

His newest doing that had got me increasingly furious had been when he had come in the way of what ever plans Hayley and I would make. Hayley, being the observant child that she was, would insist that she wanted to do what we initially had planned but I knew better. In the end I would shrug it off like it didn’t sting a little and send her of with Dante and she was immediately thrilled to go with him.

Her entire face would light up at any given second that Dante would enter any room and I liked that she was finally

competing with me to be the favourite parent.

It had taken a few days for me to tell her about who Dante really was to her but I finally got to it. It was one night after dinner where we both were in pajamas and the night was a chilly one. Over two cups of hot cocoa and 3 mini marshmallows, I carefully explained to her that Dante was her father.

Naturally, she had questions which ranged from why I hadn’t told her to her asking if that was the reason she and Dante shared the same eye and hair colour. Ultimately, she had taken it well and I guess I expected that seeing as she was already so obsessed with him. She hadn’t called him dad or anything like that yet but she did refrain from calling him by his first name which posed a small amusing issue when she wanted his attention.

I let out a heavy breath as I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hands before kicking my legs over the side of the bed and finally starting my morning. I knew that Hayley was awake since I had heard. her shuffle about in her room a moment ago.

It was a Saturday which meant that there was no rush to do a thing and I intended on having a full day with Hayley myself since Dante hadn’t called any plans with her yet.

I threw on a silk robe over my shorts and tank top before sl*pping on my grey sl*ppers and leaving my room. It was just then that Hayley exited her room bringing us both to face each other in the hall way.

“Good morning, Hayley.” I smiled at her and she giggled still wearing her white pajamas with small pink hearts all over it.

“Morning, mama. We left our rooms and the same time.” She pointed out and I nodded.

“We did. Are you hungry?” Just as I posed the question, her stomach growled as if getting to a response before her.

That had caused the both of us to laugh at that before I motioned in the direction of the kitchen with a nudge of my head.

“Let’s get some breakfast going.” She beamed at the words and began heading down the hallway and the stair case.

“Can I help do some thing?” She asked and I nodded as I stood in front of the open fridge to get eggs, milk, some fruit, and whatever else I needed for breakfast pancakes.
