We kept looking at each other. Daniel looked haggard. His jet black hair was tousled and he hadn't shaved. His grey eyes were restless and he was wearing a white tank top with a black trouser and he was bare footed. But even under his haggardly appearance, he was still good looking as ever.
"Can I come in?," I didn't wait for him to answer because he was still dazed, I let myself in.
The room was a little scattered but somewhat deluxe. Books were stacked up in a corner and I spotted papers piled up behind the stack of books.
"So you read?," I questioned.
"Yes. I'm in college," He said still holding Chloe. But I noticed that he was holding her with so much care. "Are you in college?," he asked.
"How do you expect me to be in—No", I said grimly and somewhat angrily.
"I'm so sorry," he said softly.
"It's okay," I said then sat down. Daniel sat down opposite me and held Chloe to himself.
"Charlotte you've changed," Daniel observed.
"How?"
"Uhmmm….your hair….the color. And it's also more massive. And you're more curvy and more shapely than ever and...you stoutened a lot."
I looked at him sharply.
"I'm not trying to mean it in a smutty or rude way. Well, you're really beautiful. More ravishing than before, you're the prettiest girl I've ever seen," Daniel said.
"I don't like your sincerity but I get it," I chipped in.
"Look Charlotte, I'm really really sorry for what I did to you. I tried contacting you that I'm sorry but your phone number wasn't reachable. I really am sorry. Forgive me please Charlotte," Daniel pleaded me genuinely.
"It's okay Daniel. I forgive you. The past is in the past. So let's move on," I said and felt a lump in my throat. I couldn't hold it. I burst out crying.
"No, don't cry Charlotte. I really am sorry for causing you pain," Daniel said then sat next to me and pacified me.
"I'm okay," I said as I got hold of myself.
"What should I do Charlotte? Should I marry you, accept the baby and—"
"No," I snapped. "Don't do any of that. I can't spoil your future with that".
"But I am the one to blame", Daniel said.
"Don't blame yourself, okay?", I assured him which made him relax.
"You sleep with girls right?," I asked him rather unconsciously.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me".
"I was a bitch before and I'm still a bitch now," Daniel said.
"I didn't come here for you to claim Chloe that she is yours, although she is yours though", I said.
"Her name is Chloe?"
"I came here to tell you. To let you know how stupid you were in the past and to let you know that I've forgiven you," I said then smiled.
"Thanks. Wait—Not the stupid part but the fact that you've forgiven me," Daniel innocently said.
"Oh. Okay." I said. "Well, I gotta go".
"You're leaving…..well, okay. I actually have a babe with hot pants that I'm waiting for." Daniel foolishly spoke.
"What??," I said surprised.
"Yeah. Her name is Sasha. I picked her up from April's brothel. My personal hook up. More like my girlfriend," Daniel mentioned.
"Oh…Kay", I drew out then carried out baby from him and reached the door when Daniel said, "urr….Do you need any thing? Like water, drink or food?"
"I'm okay, thanks", I smiled lightly. "And your babe would be waiting for you though….remember?".
"Yeah, right!" Daniel nervously said running his fingers through his hair.
"Unless you've got hot pants. You do. You're the sexiest, most shapely and most voluptuous, prettiest girl I've ever seen", Daniel said sweetly.
"Liar", I teased them looked at Chloe.
"She looks a lot like you".
Daniel smiled. "Goodbye Charlotte. Sorry once again and pls take care of Chloe".
And when I looked into his eyes, I lovingly noticed the extreme care and love he had for Chloe which made me happy.
I smiled and I and Daniel were extremely surprised when I hugged him warmly. It took Daniel some seconds to hug me back then his naughty hands landed on my waist close to my Fanny. We stayed like that for some seconds.
"Naughty you….", I said as I pulled his hands away from my waist and smiled and left the apartment and the building.
