Chapter 6 Green Stuff

I don't like green stuff! It's not yummy."

You'd think Lily was the one to say that, but no. It was Rose, and I couldn't help but find it adorable when she was scowling at the slice of pizza in her hands with a little pout forming on her mouth.

"You can take the peppers off, Angel. Here let me show you." I say as I reach for her slice. Her eyes burn in to my hands as I carefully pick the green toppings out from her slice...and right into my mouth. Her mouth dropped in shock.

"You ate my food! I don't like you anymore! I liked you because you have me a rainbow cookie, but now I don't because you are my food." Her eyes started to fill with tears, and I was about to speak when Lily walked over to her.

Putting a comforting hand on Rose's shoulder, she says, "It's okay, Wosie. Gween food is yucky. Daddy ate yucky for you. Isn't that wight, Daddy?" She looks up at me for confirmation. I merely nod, still astounded as to how mature my Princess sounded, even if she couldn't pronounce the letter 'r' properly.

Rosie seemed satisfied with the reassurance she received from a 2 year old and wiped her tears, before putting Lily on her lap. "I like you," she says to me, "but I like my princess more!" And just like that they started laughing together.

Normally if someone called Princess, their princess, I would object. However, when Rose said it, it sounded so natural, as if she was meant to come into our lives.

At that moment, Thomas walked out of the guest room from the bathroom. He raised his eyebrow at me, and when I shrugged he shrugged back, as if he also thought that we had some really weird families.

It was about 9pm when both of the energetic girls fell asleep on the sofa with the Spongebob SquarePants theme tune playing from the TV.

No. They weren't watching the show. They were replaying the theme tune over and over again. They never got bored of it until finally they fell asleep.

Thomas and I couldn't be more relieved.

I took Lily up to her bedroom and tucked her in with a kiss on her forehead. "I love you, Princess. Sweet dreams." As I went to leave the room I heard a little mumble, "Love you too, Daddy." My daughter always brought a smile to my face.

Leaving the door slightly open, I walked back down to see a very sleepy Rose leaning on Thomas. "Bye bye, Damy." She says as she sees me walk in to the living room.

I walk towards her and take her face in my hands. I lean down and place a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Bye, Angel. You'll come to see us soon, right?" She nodded, completely worn out from the day.

After saying goodbye to Thomas and getting Rose's phone number off him, they walked slowly towards his car that was parked next to one of my cars in the garage. They got into the car and with one last wave, they were off.

The next morning, after dropping Lily off to her 'Momma's house, along with all the ingredients I bought her, I left to go to work.

Today, we would be filming the scene where the heroine would get into an accident and the hero would show how he was really sad about it. Now, me being the hero meant that would be my job. That's how you know I'm an excellent actor.

"Yo, Donovan! When do we start recording today?" I ask and we do the guy hug thing.

It doesn't have a name, alright?

Mark doesn't seem to be very happy today. It's kind of expected since I saw Diva's baby blue car parked outside. Letting out a frustrated sigh he tells me, "Well, we were meant to start in ten minutes but Melanie decided she needs to have a last minute facial. Like now. And so, we're running off schedule."

"I feel you, bro. I mean, I have to act like I'm in love with her." He rolls his eyes at my usual complaints and walks away, most likely muttering under his breath about how annoying I am. As usual. "What?" I call after him, "it's true!" But he was already gone.

After we finally finished recording the excruciatingly long scene, I went back to my dressing room. I changed into a white T-shirt and black jeans and a leather coat. Just as I picked up my phone, it vibrated. I got a text. Opening it I realised that it was from Rose. The smile on my face could split it in half.
