Calanthe's pov
So apparently my daughter is here along with my grandfather and yes I am happy my baby is here but what if he finds out about her?
You know you need to tell him, Larry said focusing on his laptop.
I will but not right now everything is fucked up right now.
Girl, Larry faced me, if he finds out without you telling him right now it's going to be more than fucked up and you know that.
Alright, I will tell him, jeez chill Larry.
Larry scoffed and kept working.
Mommmy, a tiny voice called out as I looked to see my daughter running to me.
Hey baby, how are you?
My daughter stopped in front of me and started crying.
What's wrong baby, I asked as I went to meet her.
I missed you so much, my daughter said.
And I missed you too, honey and I hugged her.
Dont leave me alone next time ok?? She said putting her pinky finger out
Alright mama, I won't I said as I locked my pinky finger with her pinky finger.
Won't you greet your favorite uncle, Larry said crouching to Liliana level.
She laughed and hugged Larry.
Dont you miss me, Larry asked.
I missed you, my daughter replied.
The morning went by and it was noon, I spent the morning with my daughter and when I was about to leave she cried but I assured her I was coming home and she should stay with my grandfather.
Larry and I got to the office and then we did the work and everything.
You have a business dinner this evening, Larry said as he was clearing the desk.
With who? I asked also clearing my desk.
Larry looked at me and instantly I knew who.
How come? I asked.
Fuck I thought I told you, Larry said.
No, you didn't tell me anything.
Ok, so it's just dinner with the fishers and the blacks thats all.
What about others? I asked.
Lion and Zoey are on their honey moon with what I heard and then west and Reila will not be attending.
Ok, it's just dinner, I thought to myself.
Getting to the restaurant the dinner was talking place the whole family were there.
Are you sure it's just a business dinner, I asked Larry.
I don't think I know anymore, Larry replied.
I sat down and Larry sat beside me.
Calanthe, Mrs black began, how are you ?
I am good ma, I replied her.
I looked up and he was staring at me.
The waiter collected our orders and left, few minutes later came back with our orders.
So my order is onion sauce with beef and mashed potatoes.
Umhhh, you don't eat onions my dear, Mrs black said, let me get them to change the orders for you, she raised her hands to get the waiters attention
Noo, it's fine, I actually do eat onions now.
Since when, Mr black said.
You don't eat onions, my father said.
I do eat onions now, I went to a craving faze and Larry was eating onion rings and I ate it and fell in love with onion dish.
Really? Mr black said and I just smiled.
I was actually pregnant when I started loving onions, Liliana made me fall in love with onion dish, I thought to my self.
Did you know your grandfather is in L.A right now, my father asked.
Yes, he is currently staying with me right now, I replied.
And you didn't say anything when you walked in?, he said again.
I didn't reply him and drank my water.
And besides it's a family dinner, what is he doing here, my grandmother said pointing her knife at Larry.
Larry is family, I asked and I thought it was a business dinner, if I had known it was a so called family dinner I wouldn't have come.
The whole table went quiet after my utterance.
You do hold a grudge for so long don't you, Blosdom said her first words for the night.
And the bird speaks, I replied her.
Can you guys stop it, it's just a nice dinner ok, Mrs black said.
Sorry aunt , sorry ma, I and blossom said at the same time .
