To the stars that listened and to the dreams that were answered ✨

I let him believe they were fake tears. If he knew they were real I'll probably not hear the last of it.

"Aren't you going to the office anymore ?" Suddenly realizing he had left the office to come get me.

"Well ,if it wasn't for you I'll still be there",he starts.

     I knew he was going to say something like this but I wasn't vexed at all. I'm so happy that he didn't fire Monsieur Jacque and nothing will change this mood.

   "I'm not ,I'll work from home."

    "Alright ,I'll be downstairs"

    "Good,cause I don't need any distractions."

I give him a sly smile,he furrows his left eyebrow in confusion. I just smile the more, obviously I'm his worst distraction and I know that. He shakes his head in further confusion .

        I don't say anything, I leave the room.

I need to go apologise to Monsieur Jacque,I mentally note.

     Going down the stairs I hear a little voice scream my name; "Khloe!!"

Before I could brace myself I'm attacked by Mia's bone cracking hug.

"How are you my princessa?"

"I'm fine. Glad I'm done with all my assignments. I thought I'll never finish.....",she closes her eyes and makes a funny gesture.

        I laugh, "well I'm glad you are done with that at least we have more time for ourselves".

"Yaay! Where's mama?"

"I guess she's in the kitchen, let's check" . I walk into the kitchen and see three unfamiliar faces.

"Mama!",Mia runs to hug her grandma. The three other girls say hi to me and I just wave back at them with a smile.

" These are Pepper, Ashley,and Kenzie"

"Nice to meet y'all. I'm Khloe." They were beautiful girls probably around my age except Pepper she seemed younger and she looks more cheerful,she's been smiling ever since.

"By the way they help around the house and also prepare the meals.

  " There are other maids when we are about to have celebrations, but these are the main. Will be good if you make them your aquintances."

"Well we'll get along just fine", I hope.

"Mia come look at what I got you",I say feeling uncomfortable,I would have shown her later but then ...

"Hey Uncle Durango",she goes over to his bed and gives him a brief hug.

"How are you baby?"

"Fine"

"Well I'm quite busy at the moment,I'll definitely see you before you leave."

"So how do you see this?", I bring out a pink plaid flair skirt.

"Omigoddddd I love it so much. Always wanted one of these.",she gushes ."And it's Louis Vuitton",she squeals when she's the label."thank you so much. I'll wear this first day of high school"

"I was hoping. It comes with this white turtle neck though. I saw this beautiful black gown and I thought you'll love it."

"There are more",she gasps.

"Yeah ,and these hoodies. That's all I wasn't really sure of your size and taste."

"I'll text you my sizes"

I laugh out loud, Mia is such a character. I laughed so loud Durango peeped at me,then rolled his eyes.

"Yeah you do just that"

******

"Bonsieur Monsieur Jacque"

"Hey mademoiselle", someone seemed happy to see me ,I thought it would be the opposite.

"Merci beaucoup",why was he telling me thank you this all my fault. I couldn't help but feel worse.

"Im actually here to apologise to you. This is all my fault, I'm so sorry for pulling that stunt."

He smiled at me in a fatherly manner. "I understand you would like some freedom. Your actions reminded of my twins so free spirited ,trust me they love their freedom. Your still young you know?. I shouldn't be mad at you."

"But I almost made you lose your job".

I couldn't comprehend the niceness he was showing me right now. I feel so terrible God.

"And your the same reason why I didn't lose it. Trust me if it wasn't for you I'd be out of here. No one has ever made Durango change his mind before now, your some special girl. I'm glad he chose you "

For a moment I was speechless, I could only utter "Thank you".

"I pray I get to Know you better and not just the cunny side of you", he says with a boyish grin.

I giggle," you sure will."
