One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 85: Let's be us again

~~~Look at me I'm way past pride. Isn't there something that we can try to be us again? Even if it takes a while, I'll wait right here until I see that smile that says we're us again. Baby, what would I do? I can't imagine life without you. Let's be us again...~~~ -Lonestar-

"Yes, my princess, it is." Luke was the one who answered the question and I just brushed my hair in frustration.

"Yehey! Thank you, daddy, for coming here and mommy for letting daddy come with us." She got up from her father's lap and came to me to hug me and kiss me on both cheeks.

"Don't mention it, baby." I winked at her, trying to smile so that she wouldn't notice the real reaction I was hiding inside. "I just love you more than all the things in the world."

"I love you too, mommy."

And she repeated the same action to her father.

After eating our lunch in the park, I started packing the things and putting them in our bag.

"It's coffee time!"

I heard Cali scream as she picked up the empty box of pizza and some mess on the blanket, but I continued with what I was doing.

I just stopped for a moment when Luke suddenly knelt in front of me and helped me clean the blanket.

"You can come with me in the car, Sam. I'll also drive you guys home if you want. I'll just call my driver to take your car to your parents' house.

He was about to stand up and get his phone, but I stopped him.

"Thanks for the offer, but no! I mean, I brought my car and you can just follow us to the coffee shop if you want." "But Sam---"

I turned my attention back to the blanket.

"Or if you want I'll call my driver to take my car home and I'll drive your car to the coffee shop, how's that?" "Luke---"

"We will be riding in one car, daddy?"

And before I could even open my mouth again,
