Contracted Story, Don’t Plagiarize It.
{Ann And Words}
Andrew POV
It’s normal for a lady to act that way. Not up to twenty four hours and a lot has happened. After having a night with her. I have been so busy doing a lot of work, I couldn’t search but coming back home at this moment is still the same thing. I’m still busy as before, if busier than usual. I stepped on the accelerator while driving the highway. Zoey call came through and I parked my car on the side.
“How was it? ” She asked over the phone.
“It was not well..” I mumbled, hoping I could trust her.
“Oh my gosh! Did she say hurtful words? ” She asked with a worried voice.
“No… Of course not. ” I smiled, scratching my head.
“But you said it wasn’t fine… Did she send you out? ” She asked and coughed over the phone.
“Sorry… I uttered the word sorry to her cough earlier.
“Thank you. ” She appreciated it and started coughing again….
“I told her some words and it pissed her off. ” I mumbled,,, rubbing my nose.
“Words??… Would you like to share it? ” She asked., ” And I’m sure she looks serious wherever she is?
“I don’t think I will be able to. Don’t worry,,, I only confess about something… ”
She laughed and cleared her throat after laughing to her satisfaction.
“She’s going to come around, don’t worry.. ” She said and ended the call. My phone beeped in notification on the ended call.
“Hufffff… ” I breathed out from my mouth and ignited the engine,,, hitting the highway back.
“I just hope she comes around, just like how she said. ” I mumbled while my speed limit just hit 60.
Zoey POV
I walked Ann to her room while Camila and Nova went to their room. I blush hard when I remember Calvin will be home tomorrow. I just prepared his favorite. I decided to give Ann the room I prepared for my lost baby. The room has stickers on the wall,,, baby stickers and all the rest. Ann has been silent since I took her for a retouch and spa.
Cali words came to my head but I tried to reason why an innocent girl like her would be a trap. She’s too innocent for such. Ignoring her words, I watch Ann’s perplexed facial expression..
“Do you like it? ” I asked and she nodded, shining her white set of milk teeth.
“Mommy.. ” She called and said…. The word…. I don’t know how I felt when she called me mommy. Gosh, I have been watery lately…
“Can you call me that again? ” I asked and crouched down in front of her.
“Mommy… Mommy. Mommy,,, mmmy. ” She called, playing with her hair…
“Do you have another mommy apart from me? ” I decided to ask since I’m alone with her.
“No… I used to sleep in front of the supermarket overnight but they’re not friendly like you. They call me bad luck… Bad luck to their sales… I don’t know my mommy, I don’t have a mommy. ” She mumbled with teary eyes and I couldn’t believe she went through that. I hugged her and she sniffed in through her nose… I patted her hair and tucked them behind her ear when I broke the hug.
“The two girls don’t like —”
“Of course not! ” I love you darling… I checked the time and it’s exactly 7pm. I should make dinner.
“Are you going somewhere? ” She asked worriedly and quickly took my hand into hers.
“No… I want to make dinner, would you like to make it with me? ” I decided to ask and she nodded her head so fast. Is she eager to see me cook or what?
“Those vendors said I’m smelling around their restaurant… I want to watch you cooking. Please. ” She claps her hands together…. Those small hands and fingers.
“Of course… ” I uttered and she stood on her feet instantly. We took the stairs and headed to the kitchen, since downstairs was just the living room, kitchen and dining area. I met Nova and Camila in the kitchen, laughing to themselves… They were probably having a conversation before I came in with Ann .
They stopped when they noticed my presence,,, I traced where their eyes direction was,,,, and it was on Ann… She tighten the grip in fear. I walk past them, they are probably making rice and veggies… I sit Ann on the counter that is tall to my waistline.
“What does she want to eat? ” Camila asked but I was about to reply when Ann did the reply.
“I love cookies. ” She replied, looking happy.
“Those are junk, not healthy foods. ” Nova laughed and I shot her a deadly glare.
“I eat cookies from the trash can almost everyday… ” She said as I looked away.
“Seriously. ” Nova found herself asking such and she nodded.
“Will you cook healthy food for me? ” Ann asked but she got no response.
“She doesn’t love me, mommy… ” She pouted….
“How old are you? ” Nova asked. She ignored Ann’s question. Why is she asking for her age when she can’t make her healthy food tonight?
“I don’t know. ” Ann replied, looking at what Nova was cooking…
“Mommy will make an omelet for you, huh… “I uttered and she nodded. All through my cooking, Ann was just singing with her tiny voice.
Camila, Nova and I chatted while cooking but the omelet was done faster than theirs. I walk Ann to the dining table to have her dinner. A knock on the door pulled me out of thoughts. I stare at Ann before heading to the door. The knock came again.
“Get the door sis.. ” Camila’s voice came from the kitchen.
“I’m about to… ” I shouted and pressed down the door handle….
“Good Evening Mrs Zoey Simon… I’m officer Ben and my partner here is detective Laura… ”
“How may I help you please? ” I asked with a shaking mind.
“We are sorry ma’am, but we are here to arrest you…. “
