This afternoon, Savannah had brought Amara to buy her some candies for saving. Janette since she wanted some refreshment, decided to come along with both of them.
Amara looked excited as she walked and kept on scanning at the pack of candies in front of her, still couldn't decide which candy she would take home.Janette followed after the little girl, in her mouth she was eating a small candy she had bought earlier. Savannah wasn't far from them, scanning the pancake that was displayed near the glass of the shop. She wanted to buy one for them tonight.Savannah's eyes immediately fell on a beautiful cake that was decorated with strawberry and chocolate. No doubt that Grandma would like them as she loved chocolate very much.Savannah called the shopkeeper and asked her to wrap the cake. As she waited, Savannah immediately went to search for Amara and Janette. God knows how many candies they had brought after they were left for almost half aIt was Saturday, and Savannah was called by Mr. Hernandez to come to the office. She had enjoyed her time with Amara, but Mr. Hernandez interrupted them, needing her in the office for today's presentation.She had forgotten that she got that schedule, luckily, there was someone to remind her of that. On Saturday, employees were still supposed to come to work, but they could leave in the afternoon.Savannah readied herself. After she had a bath, she began to change into formal attire and apply some light make up.As she walked out of her bedroom, she immediately was greeted by the rare sight of Brandon holding Carrick. The grey cat seemed reluctant to be near him but didn't attempt to claw or bite him.Janette with Carrie was another story, she had tried to hold the cat down, but the little feral cat was trying to bite and get away from her hold."What are you two doing?" Savannah asked, noticing Amara who was sitting near Brando
Two weeks had gone so fast. Mr. Hernandez and Savannah also got along so great during that time, even they had some meals together with Charlie while bringing Amara and Adrian together. Savannah was also getting used to calling him Lucas outside the work already.The two kids also got along better, of course, Savannah often caught them giggling while whispering to each other's ear happily. It was as if they were in their own world. Amara only got a few friends back home, so she had none around her age here. The same goes for Adrian, he only got friends whenever the kids from relatives visited.It was Sunday, meaning a free day for Savannah. Grandma was in a nursing home nearby, volunteering to take care of elders as she loved talking with them. Savannah didn't mind, Janette would be the one dropping her off at the place before she went with her friends. She would pick her up later if Grandma had called.Some knocking on the door pulled Savannah
Grandma had called from the nursing home, not to ask her granddaughters to pick her up, but to inform that she wanted to spend the night there. It wasn't a rarity though before Savannah and Janette came, Grandma was a bit lonely that she often sleeping there.She knew the owner, of course, it was one of her closest friend in high school. So, their friendship had been going on for a long time.This time, Grandma got an urgent matter to help a sick patient. A female worker was excused due to her sister giving birth in a hospital.It was almost night time. Janette also said that she was having a sleepover at Brandon's place to help his mom preparing a birthday party for one of Brandon's little stepbrother.So, it was just going to be Savannah and Amara alone in the house. That was until Adrian suggested that he wanted a sleepover. Lucas was horrified at the idea, as tomorrow they still got a pile of works on their table, also, he didn't feel comfor
Brandon and Janette had a trip from their school to some museum for a few days. This is resulting in Amara having a bad mood as she didn't have someone to play with at home. Grandma took her time to accompany her of course, though it wasn't enough.Right now, she was scrunching her face adorably, hands crossed at her chest as she stared at nothing particular in front of her.Savannah smiled at her, approaching the little girl with a phone in her hand. "Janette wants to speak to you, Sweetheart."Amara narrowed her eyes more. Nonetheless, she took the phone from Savannah's hand and began facing the older Easton."Hey, cutie." Janette began, smiling at the little girl through the phone screen as she noticed her bad mood. "Are you alright?"Amara just nodded, pouting more. This made Janette want to make her feel better. "Nah, don't pout like that.""I will buy you something when we got back," Janette reassured the slightly chu
After three months passed, Charlie had gotten better with his throat. He could speak so fluently already. The tremendous development made people around him happy since turned out, he was quite a funny man.He helped Lucas a lot with his work. Though he had gotten shelter and food from Lucas's home, Charlie still getting paid for his job as a receptionist. At first, he refused, but after some coaxing and persuading from Lucas, he finally agreed.He wouldn't say it for loud, but Charlie had already made a place in Lucas's life. He was like a father to him.As for Adrian, he would often seek for Charlie's presence. He was like the little boy's babysitter. Lucas had tried to search for the perfect babysitter, all of them were women. Most end up getting fired or quitting by themselves.Those babysitters used the opportunity just to be close to him, that's why. Most of them couldn't be patient with Adrian's rambunctious actions that they often s
Another month passed so quickly that Savannah didn't realize it. They had gotten closer, so much closer for colleagues. The kids had been enrolled in kindergarten together.It's like a routine for them, Charlie picking up the two from school at lunch and dropped them off at Savannah's house, or sometimes they stayed near Charlie's side, so the two wouldn't disturb any employees.This time, they stayed in the office. Savannah and Lucas had eaten lunch together as they entered the door of the building. The kids immediately run towards the two, making them let go of their clasped hands to catch the five years old.Savannah's face turned a bit red as she realized that they were still holding their hands together till the walk to the office. She nearly fell due to her being a little anemic, and Lucas had insisted to keep her on her feet by holding their hands together.It was also the first time she had seen him being a little nervous. He was r
They were sleeping on the rooftop. Dimmed light emanating from around them, creating a comfortable atmosphere as they gazed at the marvelous stars in the night.It's was very late, almost midnight. So, no wonder that Savannah and Lucas were the only two people awake right now. Charlie had been dead asleep in front of the television as soon as they finished the dinner. The delicious dinner was made by Charlie himself who cooked almost as good as a professional chef.The two kids, Amara and Adrian were sleeping near the two adults, joining them in stargazing, but fell asleep afterward, as soon as the warm blanket wrapped around their bodies.They were huddling together above a pretty wide mattress that Lucas had dragged with Adrian earlier. The silence was comfortable among the four. Savannah and Amara were in one blanket together, the older female was lovingly stroking Amara's hair.Lucas glanced briefly at the brown-haired woman, then he s
Lucas was in so much self-doubt after last night's confession. He couldn't sleep, his mind was filled with a lot of thoughts that kept on haunting him. Savannah was fast asleep with Amara in her embrace, Adrian beside the little girl.Amara, was she really her daughter? The question made him watched the two like a creep the entire night. He admitted that they got some similarities, the same color of eyes and hair. But, were those enough to prove that she was really her biological daughter?As much as Lucas wanted to deny it, they did act like mother and child in front of him. There was a little, faint hope in his chest that maybe Amara was adopted, and that those physical similarities were just a mere coincidence. He could just hope.Lucas wanted to ask the woman directly, but he wasn't so sure about that himself. Judged from the way she unnoticeably tried to hide the fact that Amara was her daughter and the condition where she unconsciously revealed
