A big man in suit opened the car door for me, I hopped down happily. Nana stood at the entrance waiting for me with her hands open. As I reached her, she lifted me off the floor, putting me in her arms, and she carried me into the house.
"How was the park?" She asked as she walked inside.
"It was borinnnng!" I dragged the last words to express my point.
"Boring how?"
"The other kids didn't want to play with me. The big guys in suits scared them away," I hid my face in her neck as I mumbled, "I hate those guys in suits."
"No, you shouldn't say that! They were hired for your protection,"
"Where's mom?" I changed the topic, as I looked around.
Nana led me kitchen, setting me on the kitchen island she replied, "Erm...no."
"I knew it! Mommy doesn't want to see me right? That's why she's never around. Mommy doesn't love me anymore, but," I smiled. "It's fine. I love mommy very much, my love is enough for both of us. Don't think so too?"
"That's where you're very wrong. Your mommy loves you so very much and that's why she's never around. Mommy's always busy for you, she's busy working so she can provide the necessary things to keep you comfortable and happy. Mommy loves so much, that's why she going buy you plenty princesses gowns and she--"
"I don't want princess gowns! I want mommy!" I half-shouted, Nana eyes widened in surprise.
"I'm sorry. I just..." A tear dropped. "Ever since Grandma passed away, ever since we moved to this new house, mommy's never around, she's always busy. And I've just been feeling really lonely, I just miss her so much," By this time, I was already crying. "I'm sorry Nana but why is it so hard to be with mommy?"
She crouched down, facing me she wiped my tears with her sleeve, "Oh honey, don't cry. If you keep on crying like this, you'll also make me cry,"
"I'm sorry," I apologized again, but the tears kept coming.
"No need to apologise honey. It's perfectly normal to feel lonely and at your age it must be so hard to cope it. I apopogise on your mom's behalf, but I'm gonna promise you one thing now,"
"I promise I'll make your mom come see you, I'll drag her from wherever she is back home, so don't cry okay?"
"Really?" I inquired with excitement.
"Yes really, so give me a smile okay?" She held my wet cheeks in her hands, "Give me your brightest smile!"
I gave her a big grin instead. "That's my Vanessa." She said as she patted my head.
"I'm going to make dinner now, you go wash up and come down. I'm going to prepare your favourite for dinner,"
"Really?" I jumped down the island.
"Yes! Now shoo!" She drove me out of the kitchen.
I smiled and skipped happily to my room, passing the corridor, I noticed a door opened a slightly. I peeked in, and mommy was there, she was in there, sitting behind a desk making a phone call.
My smile instantly dropped. Nana you liar!

"Ah! What's this? Remembering such unpleasant memories at the very beginning of the day," I mumbled. I sat up, "My head hurts. Geez!"
Placing a hand on my head, I scanned the room, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong? What's this sense of unfamiliarity?"
My questions were answered as I soon noticed the naked body next to mine. "Huh?!"
I touched myself, "I'm naked too? Why?"
Before I could wrap the my head around everything, the body adjusted his position. At the newly acquired position, his face was bright as day.
"Alex? Why is Alex here?" I thought to myself. "But he's naked and I'm naked so...does that mean?"
"No way!" I shook my head. "No, no, no. But he's naked, and I'm also naked. What do naked people do?"
As reality sunk in, I grabbed the sheets to my body and screamed, "Nooooooo!"
