“Okay then Mr. Ash’ Mila giggle and placed him on his feet. “Here you go.”
Ash walks the few steps left to reach me and hugs my legs. “Lek go, mama.” His big blue eyes stare up at me and I melt.
My baby was so beautiful even though he didn’t want to be considered a baby anymore since he always pouts when we do call him such.
“My mom’s gonna skin your asses alive for being late yet again. Ria shorts while entering the living room. She quickly wraps her black ink tresses in a ponytail
Her tatted arms were one of the first things you notice about her and well, the vulgar words she uses often. She wasn’t too hard to point out from the crowd.
I quickly covered Ash’s ears even though he had already heard and glared at Ria. “Dammit, Ria. How many times must I tell you no cursing in front of Ash!” I snapped.
She winces and shrugs. “Oops, I always forget okay?”
I glared at her and uncovered Ash’s ears.
“Riri say bad word mama.” He pointed at Ria who smiles at all of us sheepishly.
Lifting her hands up in exaggeration, she puffs out. “Hey at least he knows it’s a bad word. Anyway don’t you guys have somewhere to be?!” She shooed us, gesturing with her hands for us to head to the door. “Girl we pay more than half the rent here, don’t shoo us out of our own apartment,” Mila says sassily as she picks up her bag.
Ria rolls her eyes knowing Mila was only joking….kind of. “God, I can’t wait for this peace and quiet when you two leave.”
“Three of us ass- I mean dinglebat.” Mila snorted, walking around the couch before I could throw something at her.
“I excluded Ash because he at least I can handle. You two annoy the living hell out of me. Now shoo. Be gone. Bye.” Ria shooed us again. “Love you too bish
“What?” Mila gulped when I sent her an annoyed glare.
“Bish as in the beach get it?” She asked sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and picked up Ash. Grabbing a hold of my bag in the other, I turn to Ria.
I looked at her, narrowing my eyes. “Hey, at least clean the apartment while we’re not here?”
She scoffs but nods. That alone told me she would not even touch the broom. Much less look at it.
‘I have a shoot at two thirty today. If I’m not home when you two get back the key is where we usually hide it.” She says.
Ria was an upcoming model. This season has been generous to her and she’s been getting more and more opportunities to do photoshoots lately
Both Mila and i nodded. We said our goodbyes and walked out of the apartment. We took the stairs. We always take the stairs.
We were convinced the elevator was possessed and it didn’t help the fact that this was a shitty apartment building where unconventional things happened quite often
For example, last night the lights suddenly went out and only came back on a couple of hours later. So you see, we didn’t want to get stuck in an elevator for hours
Ash buries his face in the crook of my neck as I walked down the endless stairs. He hated anything to do with heights.
His little alins squeeze around my neck lightly, almost suffocating me actually. But I don’t tell him to loosen his arms.
I hold then closer to mne, kissing his head and whispering soothing words about how he was going to be okay and how we were almost out,
He nods, snugging closer to me even more smiled
I wouldn’t vade thus for myting else in the world. He was my ute
“Hmpth.” I let out as I struggled to unbuckle the straps securing Ash in his car seat.
I sighed in relief when I finally got him out. I grabbed his bag with all his necessary things and hurried into the daycare center.
This was the hardest part. The part where I leave him for hours and not being able to see his face.
I try to reassure my heart that we would reunite again soon. When I drop him off, I was reluctant to let go. I crouched to his level and pepper him with kisses, loving the fresh scent of coconut on him. “Mommy will miss you my little Ash bug,” I whispered, pressing my lips to his forehead as I try to relax my heart.
“Lah woo, mama.” He said, not being able to pronounce the word love and you properly. It still melts my heart and I squeeze his little figure to me.
This little boy was my entire world.
“I love you so much, Ash. To the stars, to the entire universe.”
“Didn’t want to let go?” Mila smiled turning to face me when I entered. I closed the door and buckled myself securely.
“No,” I admitted. She knew how hard it was for me to part ways with Ashton even if it is just for a little bit.
“Figured as such.” She laughs lightly as my old car roars to life.
Sophie’s pov
I parked on the side of the curb, my old car coming to a stop with a loud screech and a shud der.
“Dammit.” I snarled as I jab at the seatbelt to free myself.
Mila burst into fits of laughter as she watches me struggle with the seatbelt.
“Ha ha. Of course you’re all giddy and amused because at least you’re not stuck.” I groaned, jamming my fingers on the red release button on the seatbelt.
Mila taps her hand on the dashboard. “Mary is really about to give up on us.” She snorted.
I bought that car when I knew I needed my own transportation to bring Ash around. It was al ready old and looked ready to collapse, but it was at a reasonable price and that was all I could budget. It did the job anyway, even though half the time it’s a struggle to get out or startit.
“You’d think that naming her Mary she’d be lucky.” Thuffed, rejoicing silently when the release button finally works.
I was already contemplating if to grab a hold of the scissors I had in the compartment and just snip the entire seatbelt around me.
Mila giggled and then suddenly goes silent. “Uh oh.”
I snapped my head to her in confusion. “What?”
She nudged her chin slightly at the opening of the diner where I could see Ressa, Mila’s aunt and also Ria’s mom, bounding over here. Her black hair wipes behind her.
“Oh shit.” I winced when she knocks her knuckles on the passenger’s window. Mila rolls the glass down and it makes an awful screeching sound.
Ressa’s dark glaring eyes are more visible now as the dirty glass goes lower. “You two are late.” She snaps. “I’m here running this thing on my own. You know how busy this shit gets in the morning.”
“You know we have to drop off Ash first at daycare Ressa. We’re here now.” I said while look ing at the road behind me to be sure that a car wasn’t coming. When it was clear I opened the car quickly and got out.
“Oh right. How’s that little bugger? I haven’t seen him in a while.” Ressa chuckled, “I miss his cute face. You have to bring him here more often Soph, he attracts me more customers.”
“Leave it to you to still talk about getting more customers. You’re a living bank aunty Ressa.” Mila snorted as she got out of the car. The door screeches when she closes it.
Ressa scoffs. “If I was a bank child I’d already own a mansion. You don’t see mansion print ed on my forehead now do you?”
“I don’t see stick up the ass printed on your forehead either, but you sure walk like you have one.” Mila retorted with a laugh.
I snorted out a giggle when Ressa sent Mila a death stare that had her throwing her hands on her knees and laughing even louder.
were significa “Just get inside you two.” She grumbles, walking away from us. My eyes fall to her legs.
kali pertama. “Hmmm. What do you know? She actually walks like she has one lodged up there.” I joked, siihen making Mila laugh even more.
Ressa opened back the door and the little bell chimes. “Any time now you two!”
