His new addiction

"Neilaaa," Isabella handed over the ice cream to Xavier and bent down quickly to pick her up. "My baby," she kissed her chubby cheeks while moving towards the sitting benches and the baby giggled. 

Xavier followed them, dislike obvious on his face. He let his eyes hover over the little kids which were now stopped and looking at the two newcomers as if they were the most interesting thing left in the world.

"Hello babies," Isabella smiled and waved her hand at them. 

"Heyoooo," came a united reply with waves of little hands. Some of them smiled at him too and he immediately looked away. The sweet gesture was too much for him. 

He didn't like sweets. 

"Bho ish bee Lella?" The little girl gestured at him with her little finger from over her shoulder. 

"He is a friend Neila, say hi," She told her while pinching her cheeks and sat down on one of the benches. The other kids resumed their activities.
