Alex🖤
Few days passed and it has been the best days of my life as I got to bond with Nicole both in her little space and big self.
Dad is returning home tonight meaning I won't be able to care for her anytime but still I can do so in her room or mine and it is not even like dad is around 24/7.
Nicole didn't also love the idea when I told her she can't just go into little space with our dad around. That made me happy because it means that she enjoys being with me and me taking care of her.
Even if he doesn't know about our relationship, I don't think he would react well to Nicole's little nature.
We got ready for school and went down for breakfast.
"Morning Daisy." Nicole said taking her seat. I also smiled at Daisy as she greeted us.
Daisy is like a mother to me. My biological mother is just a lady that loves to live her life without any burden and by burden I meant me.
Which is why I live mainly with dad and she comes to visit once in a blue moon.
We ate breakfast of very fluffy pancakes with maple syrup. Nicole ate to her satisfaction eating almost five pancakes.
"Want me to drop you off?" I asked Nicole when we finished eating.
"No, thank you. Jessica wants to hang out so I will be the one driving." She replied.
"You did not tell me about that." I said and she smiled sheepishly. "Sorry daddy, skipped my mind." She replied.
"Okay, but make sure you text me after school so I know where you are." I told her
"Okey dokey." She grinned.
We left to the garage and I escorted her to a yellow Jaguar F-type.
I still remember how happy Nicole was when dad and I brought her out to the garage after dinner.
Kissing her forehead, I got into the car and we drove out of the garage one after another.
On campus, I met Owen and Simone beside Owen's car.
"Morning boo." Simone said and I rolled my eyes.
"Morning Simone, what has gotten into you this morning?" I questioned her overly excited behavior.
"Nothing, just decided to be extra happy today." She smiled.
"So, Nicole, huh. Or should I call her Baby girl." Owen said wiggling his brows.
"She is my baby girl, only I can call her that." I told him.
"Ooh, over protective already." Simone laughed.
After the playful banter with Simone and Owen, I watched them head to their first class, their laughter fading into the distance. The morning was bright, the campus buzzing with the energy of students ready to tackle another day of learning. But my thoughts were with Nicole, wondering how her day would go hanging out with Jessica after school.
The day passed in a blur of lectures, notes, and the occasional glance at my phone, waiting for any message from Nicole. Despite the busy schedule, she was always at the back of my mind, a constant, comforting presence.
As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, I hurriedly packed my things, eager to hear from Nicole. True to her word, my phone buzzed with a message from her: "Done with school! Heading out with Jessica now. I'll text you later. 😊"
I replied with a simple, "Have fun, be safe," and pocketed my phone. Though I wished I could spend more time with her, seeing Nicole happy and enjoying her day was enough to ease the pang of separation.
The drive home was uneventful, and upon arriving, I was greeted by the familiar sight of my father's car in the driveway. His return brought a mix of emotions; happiness at having him home, but also a twinge of regret that Nicole and I would have to be more cautious about expressing our dynamic openly.
"Dad's home," I murmured to myself as I entered the house, finding him in the living room, going through the mail.
"Alex, there you are. How was school?" he asked, looking up with a smile.
"It was good. How was your trip?" I replied, sitting down across from him.
"Productive, as always. But I'm glad to be back. How's Nicole? Haven't seen her around today," he inquired, his tone casual.
"She's out with a friend. Jessica, I think," I answered, keeping my tone neutral.
"Ah, good for her. It's important to have friends," Dad commented before returning his attention to the pile of letters and bills.
The evening passed with dinner and light conversation, but my mind was elsewhere, counting down the minutes until Nicole would text me again. Eventually, my phone lit up, a message from Nicole bringing a smile to my face: "Heading home now. Today was so much fun! Miss you. 💖"
The next day, Nicole and I managed to steal a few moments together in the morning, our time even more precious with Dad's presence in the house. I played video games while Nicole sat with me busy being creative as she sketched different designs in her sketchbook. I noticed the book was almost finished and made a mental reminder to get her a new one. Along with some coloring books she could use when in little space.
"Daddy, do you like this one?" Nicole asked showing a dress she just finished designing.
It looked like an evening gown, it was a floor-length gown with a form fitting bodice and asymmetrical neckline. She also drew the back design that showed that the gown was completely backless and had few flower designs with some drawings that looked like stones.
The skirt of the gown looked so full and it flared out giving the slit a hiding style.
"This is so beautiful baby, my baby girl is so talented." I kissed her forehead still looking at the drawing. She closed her sketch book and opened another.
This one contained all the drawing she makes whenever she is in little space.
She picked her crayon and got busy drawing and soon she was already in her little space giggling to herself as she drew with her favourite pacifier in her mouth.
I stopped playing and looked at her. "What are you doing, baby?" I asked.
"I'm drawing the beech, daddy." she said around the pacifier in her mouth. "Beach, baby girl. Can I see it?" I asked leaning in to take a look.
She say up holding the drawing to her chest. "Nuh uh, daddy. Why I am done." She said.
"Okay, let me go get some snacks. You want something?"
"Skittles and chocolate, daddy." She said paying attention to her work.
"That is too much sugar, pick one." I told her.
"Okay, daddy. Chocolate, no I want chocolate sandwich." She was referring to the sandwich that had chocolate spread in it.
"No problem, princess. I will be right back." With that, I left the room.
I went down to the kitchen, no one else was in and I got to work.
Taking out the pack of already sliced bread, I took out six slices and placed them on the counter, then took out the chocolate spread. After making sure, the spread was enough on the slices.
I put two slices on each other making three sandwiches then cut them into equal triangles.
For a treat, I added a bar of her favourite chocolate and her sippy cup was filled with orange juice.
After that, I took a bag of salt and pepper chips for myself with a bottle of juice.
With all our snacks intact, I walked out of the kitchen walking back up to the game room where we were relaxing.
As I walked in, my baby girl looked up and smiled when she noticed all the items on the tray in my hands.
She helped me arrange the snacks on a blanket we had purposely left there to use whenever we want to eat to prevent messing around.
By the time we finished, she was full and ready to sleep. I placed aside the plates and cups and she cuddled into arms sitting on my laps.
"Daddy?" She called sleepily.
"Do you want anything, baby girl?" I asked looking at her face.
She nodded yawning. "Paccy."
I took her pacifier and put it in her mouth, clipping the rope to her clothes so she would not lose it.
And she fell asleep.
