Seattle 2023

Sector 9

----------------------

"Dad? Where are you? Are you in the bathroom? No hiding outside remember!" asked the little two year old girl as she walked around the apartment with a water gun in her hand. Then from behind her a man snuck up and squirted her and she screamed. "Dad!!!" then giggled "You cheated!."

"Me?? I never cheat"

She gave him a serious look "You cheated when we played cards, when we played hide and seek, chess and remember when we played..."

"OK OK I get it so i helped myself win a little" he smiled at her and fluttered his eyelashes. She just gave him the serious look.

He sighed and just starred at her. "Dad! Your doing it again" she said and put her hands on her hips.

"I'm sorry honey you just looks so much like" she finished the sentence "like my mommy. I know I know"

His mood suddenly changed from happy to sad. "I think it's about your bedtime honey"

"Dad it's only 10pm. Please can i stay up with you??" she pouted her lip

"Don't give me that" he sighed "fine another 30 minutes then bed"

"Okie dokie "she smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Then there was a knock on the door

He went to see who it was at the door. "Oh hey Veronica"

"Sorry Logan honey i forgot my key" she gave him a kiss on the lips and the little girl screwed up her face." Yuck!" but said it so that they didn't hear.

Another little girl holding Veronicas hand asked "do i get one daddy??" her gave a slight smile and said "Oh how could i forget sorry Ashley" and he gave her a kiss on her forehead.

Logan looked around the apartment in search for the other little girl "Alex honey?? Mommy and Ashley are home."

All they heard in reply was "She's not my mommy and never will be!!" then the door slammed closed. Logan went to go and check on Alex but Veronica grabbed his arm and said "Logan honey I think I should talk to her you know girl to girl I've had the same problem with Ashley for the last 5 years of her life until know so i know what I'm doing. Ok?"

"Ok"he simply replied

Veronica opened the bedroom door and there sitting on the floor was Alex she closed the door behind her. She grabbed Alex's arm and turned her to face her "Now understand this Alex your father and I are getting married no matter what you do or say because he loves me and nothing and I mean nothing should change that! Do you understand Alex and when we get married the first thing I will do as Mrs Cale is send you little butt to the other side of the world to a boarding school where your daddy will forget that you even exist "she tightened her grip on Alex's arm and she whined "Your hurting me" Veronica grinned at her "I will do so much more if you screw this up for me and Ashley. Understand?" she whined again "Yes"

Veronica let go of her arm "I'm glad we understand each other "and she shut the door.

Alex climbed into her bed and started crying.

During the night

-------------------------

Alex got up out of her bed and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. She opened the fridge but there wasn't any more milk. Then she heard something from the lounge. "Whose there?" she said into the darkroom with a pan in her hand. There was no reply but she knew there was someone there.

The figure moved so fast across the room it was as fast as a cat. Alex ran to turn the light on to see who the intruder was. She gasped and smiled as big as she could and ran over to the intruder.

Logan came running out from his room. "Alex what are you doing?"

"I thought there was an intruder and there was and I caught her." She said pointing

Logan saw the intruder and smiled. "Welcome back. We missed you…………………"

To be continued……….

Wonder if you know who the intruder is.Tell me if you like it so far so i can see if i should continue this one.
