242: TIMES LIKE THIS

ARIEL’S POV

“So great, Janice. We’re seriously doing this.” I crossed my arms, looking at Janice. She was firm with this whole Luke stuff, and it was really crazy.

“I don’t see why you keep on saying no, Ariel. Janice coming to my house is not actually a bad idea,” Luke vocalized.

“I didn’t say it was a bad idea.”

“Oh really?” He raised an eyebrow.

“Yes,” I replied.

“Then tell me why you don’t want my daughter coming to our house.”

“Our daughter.”

“Still the same thing.”

“Nah, I remember you using that shit against me a couple of times.”

“Well, it’s terrible when you say it.”

“Oh, please, shut up.” I rolled my eyes.

Luke carried Janice in his arms. “Oh, my beloved. It’s time for Daddy to take you home.”

“Hold on, you’re seriously taking her to your house?”

“Yeah, that’s what she wants. Who am I to say no?”

“Janice. You would want many toys, books, and other things.”

“I just want to spend time with my dad,” Janice told me.

I left the car, but Luke didn’t; he was making a phone call.
