ð¹Cassandra's POVð¹
"Are you ready yet?" Xavier yelled from downstairs.
"Two more minutes!" I yelled back.
"You've been saying that for the last hour!"
I hadn't even dressed yet. We were going for dinner at Charles's and Elizabeth's house.
I had no idea what or how I should dress plus most of my dresses couldn't fit me anymore.
I spent ten minutes trying to find something to wear then forty minutes crying about how fat I was.
"Cassie, we really have to go now." He yelled again.
I took a shoe from my closet then walked out of my room. I stood on top of the staircase as I saw Xavier looking at his watch.
I then throw the shoe at him but missed after nearly hitting his head.
"What was that for?" He asked looking at me in shook.
"You yell at me again and I won't miss." I said before speed walking to my room.
I finally found a dress to wear hidden in the back of my closest. When I brought it last week I thought it was too big but now it's the perfect fit.
I walked downstairs as Xavier stared at me tapping his foot.
"I was beginning to think you died in there." He said smirking at me.
"You know what? I'm going to go back to chance my dress." I lied.
I turned around wanting to see his reaction.
"Please no, you look gorgeous in that." He said stopping me in my tracks.
"Really?" I asked turning around.
"Yes," he answered nodding his head.
"So, I don't look like a fat pregnant pig?" I asked.
"Of cause not, now let's go." He said.
I followed him to the car. He made sure to buckle my seat belt for me.
As we arrived at the house, we were welcomed in by Charles.
"Please come in," he said.
His hair looked a mess and his shirt not properly buttoned.
We entered the house as the aroma of home made food hit my noise.
"I'm so glad you here!" Elizabeth said walking towards us.
Behind her was a little girl holding onto her leg staring at me.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
She hid herself behind Elizabeth.
"Come on, don't be shy." Elizabeth said to her.
She slowly stood away from Elizabeth, her eyes fixed on me.
She had the most beautiful blue eyes.
"My name is Ellie." She answered shyly, her hands behind her back.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Cassie." I said. "How old are you?" I asked.
She showed me five fingers.
"Dinner is served madam." One of the maids said.
We all walked to the dining room.
Xavier and I took a seat next to each other while Charles and Elizabeth sat on the opposite side.
"Come on Ellie, it's time to eat." Charles yelled.
"No!" She yelled back playing with her doll house.
"She said no," Charles said defeatedly to Elizabeth.
"She can't just do what ever she wants!" Elizabeth yelled at Charles.
Charles exhaled defeatedly then stood up and picked Ellie up. As he picked her up she was kicking her legs in protest yelling at Charles.
Charles placed her in her chair. She pouted her lips then folded her arms glaring at Elizabeth.
I laughed at her reaction, she was so cute.
"Boys can't be this hard to raise, right?" Xavier said.
"Probably worse," Charles answered.
The food was dished out to us before we all began eating.
"Ellie my baby please eat," Elizabeth said to her.
Ellie still had her lips pouted and arms folded refusing to eat.
"No!" She yelled shaking her head.
"Do you want me to put chilly in your mouth." Elizabeth threatened.
After that, she started eating. Only eating when she saw her mother was looking.
"So when is your baby's due date Cassie?" Elizabeth asked.
"I'm not sure of the exact date but three months from now." I answered.
"Better start sleeping now, you won't be getting any later," Charles said directed at Xavier.
After we all finished eating the maids came to clean up the table.
"Charles, you need to put Ellie to bed. I already bathed her." Elizabeth said.
Charles stood up then picked Ellie up from her chair.
"You should take Xavier with you, he might learn a thing or two." She said.
Xavier looked at me, his eyes saying 'please no'. I smiled at him instead.
Xavier went to Ellie's room with Charles while Elizabeth and I went to the living room.
<<<<<<<<
Xavier's POV
"It's time for bed," Charles said to Ellie.
"No, I want to play." She answered jumping up and down in the bed.
"Fine, but just for ten minutes otherwise your mother will kill me." Charles said to her.
I took a seat on the edge of Ellie's bed.
Ellie ran to her cupboard then took out a small bag.
"What are you doing with that, you know you can't go to bed with makeup on." Charles said.
"No daddy, I'm going to put it on you." She said shaking her head.
I chuckled.
"No," Charles answered firmly.
"Please," she said.
"No," he repeated.
"Or else I'll tell mom you took me to a strip club." She threatened.
I laughed at Charles's reaction. He was staring at her still processing her words.
"Are you threatening me?" He asked her.
"Maybe," she answered blinking her eyes.
"Your took your five-year-old daughter to a strip club." I said laughing.
"I was looking for my stupid brother. I couldn't leave her with anyone else." He said.
Ellie was glaring at him in a challenging manner.
"Is that what your uncle teaches you when ever he visits!" He asked her.
"He told me not to take you seriously and that everything you say is a joke, just like your face." She said to him.
I continued to laugh.
"She's truly your child " I said in between laughs.
"Now sit down, I want to do your nails. Or else I'll tell mom you said she's a crazy woman."
"How many threats do you have?" He asked her.
"A lot," she answered, not breaking eye contact.
Charles sat down defeatedly. Ellie was the most manipulative five-year-old I've ever met. She's too smart for her age.
Ellie started painting Charles's toe nails pink.
I couldn't stop laughing.
He was still looking at her in disbelief.
I couldn't believe she just did that. I would have taken a picture but my phone was in the car.
"Now, come on. It's your turn " she said to me.
"No!" I yelled.
"I want to do your cheeks. I won't put a lot on."
"You don't play that joke on me, you do that to your father." I said trying to put it in the nicest way possible.
"It's not a joke, your entire existence is a joke." She said.
Charles chuckled.
"Why are you so mean?" I said to her.
"Fine, I won't do anything to your face."
"Nature already did it's worst," Charles muttered.
She got onto the bed then stood behind me. I suddenly felt a pull on my hair.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I want to tie your hair." She said.
I realized she wasn't going to give up. Why are women so difficult?
Now it was Charles turn to laugh at me.
I pray I never have any girls.
Without any warning she sprinkled something on my face. I coughed as the particles spread all over my face.
I rubbed my face with my hands to see that they were covered in pink.
"It's all off now," Charles said.
"Xavier I want to go home!" Cassie yelled from downstairs.
I stood up then nodded at Charles wishing him good luck.
Ellie waved me good bye a huge smile on her face.
Cassie was already waiting for me by the car.
Elizabeth looked at me in disbelief as I walked out.
"What happened to your face," Cassie laughed.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I mean, it's usually ugly but this looks hideous." She said continuing to laugh.
I shook my head at her then looked at my reflection in the cars ray view mirror.
She had a point, my whole face was pink and the ribbons Ellie tied my hair with were still there. I had forgotten about the ribbons. I shouldn't have believed Charles when he said all of the pink powder was off my face.
I pulled the ribbons out of my hair. Cassie offered me some wet wipes and tissues from her purse. She couldn't stop laughing.
"We never having girls," I said as I drove out of the driveway.
Cassie slapped me on my hand.
She kept mocking me through out the drive. I hadn't seen her this care free in awhile.
"Today was fun," she said as she walked out of the car.
"Yah," I replied sarcastically as I caught up with her.
She stopped in her tracks as soon as she noticed I was staring at her.
"Good night," I whispered placing a kiss on her forehead. I walked into the house living her speechless.
