Back like I never left

The nanny was extremely upset by what had just happened. I tried to see if I could pacify her, but she wasn't in the mood to listen to anything I wanted to say.

She seemed angrier than I was, so I went to my room, where my clothes had already been arranged in the wardrobe. The nanny never slacked when it came to work.

"Gena, please wait. I'll get you something to eat and drink," she said, and then headed back into the kitchen. I stayed in my room until she returned a few minutes later with a bowl of pasta and a glass of wine.

"Here you go," she said, placing it on the table in my room.

"Thank you," I replied and immediately got off the bed to grab my food. As I was about to eat, I noticed the nanny staring at me intently.

"Why are you staring?" I asked.

"Nothing. I'm just happy to see you. I hope you are happy to see me too," she said as she put her hand on my head and gently patted it before leaving my room.

I finally had some time to myself. After eating my meal, I went down to the kitchen. I placed the tray in the sink and walked away, not expecting to see anyone. However, I saw Dad approaching me with his guards.

"Gena! You agreed to come back?" he asked, standing in one spot and staring at me.

"Hello, Dad! Yes, and It's been a while," I said, walking forward and hugging him.

"Yes, it has been," Dad replied, in an emotional state of mind.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I've been well, but I have missed you so much," he said, his hand caressing my face as he looked at me with teary eyes. We sat down on the couch and started catching up with each other as Sophia carried Dad's bags into his room.

I started to think that Dad missed me. I could sense that he felt guilty for leaving me with my aunt and never stopping to look at me. A whole year made me understand that the world was no longer as dangerous as it used to be.

Dad didn't let me leave his side the entire day. He wanted to know how I lived my life with my aunt, and trust me, I told him everything except the fact that I had a boyfriend, someone who loved me and was human.

It was already evening, and after dinner, I went back to my room. The nanny came in afterward.

"But why do you like to stress yourself?" I asked, getting off the bed and helping her carry the warm milk she brought for me to the table.

"Would you blame me?" she replied, holding my hand and kissing it. "I have missed you so much," she said genuinely.

"I have missed you too, nanny," I said, pushing her hair away from her shoulders and resting my head on them.

"Don't worry, I'm back now, and I bet you'll spoil me even more than before, right?" I teased.

"Yes, baby! Prepare to be spoiled by me," she said, stroking her hand through my hair as she arranged it.

"I love you, nanny," I expressed.

"I love you too, baby," she replied immediately.
