Sitting at the table eating spaghetti, I can’t help but to glare over at Dimitri. Who has a cocky smirk on his face.
I can’t believe I give in to him!
Now I have to go on a date with him tonight!
Although it was worth not missing this amazing spaghetti Mary made. It honestly taste like the spaghetti you get from a really expansive restaurant. You know the kind that adds something to the spaghetti that makes it taste a thousands times better.
Even Sadie likes it and she has been picky with food lately.
I can’t help but laugh a little watching her glare at Liam because he isn’t feeding her fast enough.
She has spaghetti sauce all over her little face, chin, onies, and hands.
” You chopped up the noodles really small before giving her that right?” I asked Liam.
I am still trying to get use to Sadie eating food, but I can’t help but to worry sometimes about her choking on certain things.
” Yes, I chopped up the noodles real tiny. Dimitri even had to look at it before letting me feed her. He already a bossy and overprotective dad.” Liam tells me.
That’s not surprising to be honest.
” So, why couldn’t everyone else make dinner?” I ask Liam.
Rex, Lev, and Kir all said they had something to do but never said what it was. While all the boys went off somewhere.
” They all had stuff to do.” Dimitri answers flatly.
I guess that is the only explanation I am getting.
I stab my fork into the center of my plate full of spaghetti, and give the fork a little twirl to wrap the spaghetti around my fork, before bringing the fork to my mouth.
The second it hits my tongue it has my taste buds exploding on contact all over again and I am only half way done eating. ” You have to show me how you make food taste so good!” I tell Mary. Who was sitting next to Liam and Sadie.
I watch Mary’s face turn bright red, ” I can show you anytime you want. Although I don’t think I make it any different than anyone else.” She tells me honestly.
” I can’t even make spaghetti this good.” I tell her with my mouth full of food.
” Yeah, she burned spaghetti to the pot last time she made it.” Lucia adds causing Dimitri and Liam to burst into laughter.
I laugh and choke on my food a little as I swallow, ” Give me a break! That was the first time I ever made Spaghetti and I was only fourteen!.”
” I remember that! We had to throw away a pot because spaghetti was melted to the bottom!” Liam says laughing causing Sadie to laugh and clap her hands together.
” I didn’t know I had to stir it every once in awhile to make sure it didn’t stick. I never made spaghetti before.” I say defending myself.
No one was mad at me, but Dimitri and Rex didn’t let me help in the kitchen after that.
” I have gotten a lot better at cooking.” I inform them.
When I moved in with dad there where nights he never came home, or was out late with his slutty girlfriend. So, I had to figure out how to cook on my own. Not that I am complaining about it. I did need to learn to cook on my own anyway. It just would have been nice to have someone teach me. I burned a lot of my food and had to throw away probably eight or nine pots and pans.
Speaking of my dad I kinda wonder how he is doing. I haven’t spoken or seen him since I paid back all the money he owed.
It really hurt my feeling leaving the way he did. He hasn’t even met his granddaughter and whenever I tried to call his cellphone. It says the number has been disconnected. He could be dead for all I know.
I do miss my dad, but he is also a shitty person. Things just weren’t the same after he divorced mom. All he did was drink, gamble, and have sex with any women he could.
” If you have gotten better at cooking. You should prove it by making dinner or lunch sometime.” Liam tells me.
I smile, ” Fine, I will. Anyone have any objections to that?” I ask looking around the table.
” Just give me a heads up before you cook. So I have the people on posion control on standby.” Lucia tells me with a smirk.
I roll my eyes, ” Whatever.” I say with a smile as I feel my cellphone vibrate in my pocket.
I set my fork down on my plate and pull my cellphone out of my pocket. Looking at my phone I notice an unknown number pop up under my text messages. I click on the message the unknown number sent and look at it.
No way!
It’s dad…
Text message: “Hey sweetie, it is me your father. I know that we haven’t talked in awhile, but I kinda need money. I owe a bunch of money to the owner of this casino. I need you to bring nineteen million dollars to the Coyote casino at nine o’clock tonight.”
Are you fucking serious!
I haven’t heard from him since I had to bail him out the last time. Now he has the nerve to message me for more money!
~ TEXT MESSAGES ~
Amara: “I haven’t heard from you in a year and six months. How did you even get my number?”
Dad: “Your mother gave it to me. So, can you get the money for me? I kinda owe a lot of money.”
Amara: “I don’t have that kind of money, dad. So, no I can’t help you out.”
Dad: “That’s fine. All you have to do is show up.”
Amara: “You said that you needed money by nine o’clock. How would that suddenly change into me just having to show up?”
~ TEXT MESSAGES OVER ~
Something seems off about that whole situation.
” You okay?” Liam asked me
I look up at him to realize him and Lucia are staring at me. While Mary and Sadie are no longer at the table.
” Where is Mary, Dimitri, and Sadie?” I question without answering them.
” Sadie needed a bath. So I asked Mary to give her a bath.” Dimitri says causing his breath to hit the side on my neck.
I jump from how close he is and watch as he takes my phone out from my hands.
” Hey!” I say in protest as I try to take my phone back.
I fail miserably because he just holds the phone up over his head and reads the text messages. I try standing on my tiptoes to grab it back, but he is six feet tall with bulging muscles. While I am just five feet tall with tiny muscles that I got from lifting patients all day. While he goes to gym and lifts weights that weigh more than I do. Kinda makes it impossible to take anything from him.
” Dimitri! Give me back my phone!” I snap at him.
After a few seconds he hands me back my phone.
” Looks like our date night will have to be rescheduled for tomorrow night.” Dimitri tells me.
I have a bad feeling about this.
” No! If you are going to that casino I am coming with you!” I snap at him.
” No, you are staying here!” He snaps back at me.
” He is my father Dimitri!”
” He clearly doesn’t care that you are his daughter. Since he is using you to clear his debt. He wants you to show up to have sex with the owner to clear his debt. He is trying to whore you out! Which isn’t happening!” Dimitri snaps at me and starts walking away.
” I am still coming with you!” I snap back as I run after him.
I knew him wanting me to show up without any money was suspicious. To think my own father would try to trick me into showing up to meet him at the Coyote casino.
