Daddy's Love

It's his birthday. That's the first thought that comes to my mind when I wake up. Carol is still sleeping peacefully beside me. I check my phone. 7 missed calls, 23 messages.

I shed a tear or two before I compose myself back again. Should I look at the messages? No. I shouldn't. Fuck you, Grey. But it's his birthday.

"Morning Daddy...." Carol stretches and yawns waking up beside me.

"Good morning, love." I kiss her.

"Why am I here?"

"Because I wasn't able to fall asleep by myself last night." I tell her, honestly.

She considers me for a minute.

"daddy, can I wish.... "

"Absolutely, not." I tell her, my mood taking a sudden plunge.

"Why don't you go to Zack's place for a playdate today? You haven't been there since a.... since a long time!"

She doesn't say anything. I pick her up and dress her quickly after giving her a bath. I leave her in her room for sometime to see if Matt is available for a playdate today and will Zack be able to pick her up.

Carol's pov

Something really bad has happened. I don't know what but it's really bad. Never before was I asked not to talk to uncle Grey. He has been my go-to person whenever daddy refuses me something or is mad at me. I love him so much.! Why did they have to fight? Also, Ana. She is so small. I wonder how is she coping up. I decide to quickly write a note for uncle Christian and slip it under his door while going over to Zack's place.

If daddy comes to know I won't be sitting for a while. Or forever. But it's a chance I am willing to take. I hope uncle Zack doesn't tell on me. He is not as cool as uncle Grey but he is not bad either.

I write a note before daddy comes back.

Uncle Grey,

I love you and Ana so much. I miss you both. It's your birthday today and Ana and I had made a cake and a card. I cannot give that to you now. But I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday. Daddy got you a present too. He got you a mini house that you had designed when you first became an architect. Please don't fight anymore.

We will celebrate your birthday when you and daddy make up again, Ok? Don't be sad today!

I love you bucket loads. And Ana too.

Love,

Carol.

P. S: Please can you NOT tell daddy about this note? He will give me the belt if he knows.

I quickly write the note and hide it in my princess purse. Daddy comes a good ten minutes after I am done. There was no need to get so worked up but I better be safe. I don't want the belt. "Ready Princess?" Daddy asks.

What can I say? Do I have an option?

He picks me up and takes me downstairs. Fifteen minutes later uncle Zack comes to pick me up. Thankfully he allows me to drop the note without asking much. I hope that he doesn't tell daddy anything. He promised me he won't, but I am still scared thinking about the belt.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
