235: GoodBye!

                      "Daddy, your phone is ringing," 

Rose Was busy at the table doing his assignment. Davids was in the kitchen making dinner for both of them. One thing she always makes sure she does is to be home early and make supper for Rose and her. She had promised Abiah to do everything, provide a parental figure to him. Right now she was busy stirring food and Rose was stamping his little feet running to the kitchen and handing her the phone. 

"Put it on loudspeaker, my hands are dirty," told Davids.

Rose slide the phone and placed it in his hands and waited for Davids to start talking.

"Hello asshole," shouted Davids. 

Looking at Rose, she regretted saying that word. They had agreed to avoid using any F words and abusive words. She knew this will end up with her buying something for Rose as an apology. She wiped her hands and left the food to cook, picked up the phone from Rose, directed him back to the table where he placed the book in front of him and asked him to complete his assignment.

"Is someone trying to avoid me? You haven't called or said anything about the project.  Have you decided to take someone else?" Came the voice. 

The base was alluring to the ears and the huskiness could be felt but Davids was used to Damien's new voice. Damien changed a lot. He hit the gym and made sure he had a well-built body to lure girls into his trap. He always told Davids that he doesn't want to love anymore and he is tired of that. Davids didn't blame him.  She blamed the fact that the girl he loved fucked him over and over. 

"Come on man, the deal is still there, I wanted to ask you we meet up and have lunch while we talk about it. I need a good advertising agency and not some stupid dick heads to do the work, you get me?" Asked Davids. 

"Seriously, don't act like I am doing that for the first time, I have my own media house, an advertising agency, what else would I do if not to make sure I stay on top of the list and be the amazing man always?" Asked Damien.

Davids chuckled. He knew Damien would never let him down, not once and never. 

Damien was now the owner of Dream Media. The media hours has its television station that airs news, and other important things. One thing that made Davids fall in love with the company and how Damien runs it was the fact that they don't talk gossip and they are ready to make amends for all the problems and all the gossip. If they hear about gossip that is going to destroy a certain person, they investigate and make sure everyone gets a fair chance. That's why Davids invested in it. 

Apart from that, Damien had an advertising agency and his media was a big entertainment industry, talking business, politics through to entertainment.  

"Okay, should we meet tomorrow for my decision or should I get someplace good for us to enjoy ourselves?" Asked Davids. 

"Don't worry, lunch will be good and then, you can meet baby girl, or let's say the woman I am chilling out with. " 

"Fuck you man, just be serious for once, I hope she behaves unless you want my baby boy to start questioning her over and over about some stupid things." 

There was a silence before Damien could clear his throat. 

"Just be there, asshole!" Damien shouted and ended the call. 

Placing his phone on the table, he saw Rose's fingers held up. 

"What now?" Asked Jake looking at her.

"You know what, stop playing dumb daddy," said Rose focused on his assignment.

"Okay, what about I take you to lunch tomorrow, you are going to meet my buddy Damien," Davids said. 

Rose smiled and placed his pencil on the table, putting his hands on his chin. He always did that when he wants to make a decision first before saying something.

"What do you think I will benefit from this lunch?" 

Davids had always reminded him to get something from a meeting. Even if it's a one-minute meeting, he has to get something from it. Right now, she was smiling hearing what Rose was asking. 

"Lots of things, you might get an opportunity to model for some big company from there and I know that is going to be amazing," said Davids. 

"Modelling? Ugh, I hate standing and posing, but I don't mind being one hell of a cute, handsome looking gentleman on the cover of kids' magazine."

Davids knew he had a place for sure, Rose can get an opportunity for the cover magazine. Though she was not planning on paying for his way, she wanted his determination to place him up the ladder. He has the looks, the bangs and the cute cat eyes.  

"You know very well, I am not going to pat money to get you on top, right?" 

"That's called corruption and I am against it, I will fight my way to the top if given an opportunity," said Rose. 

"Okay, let's set our table for supper, I bet you are hungry now," said Davids and Rose placed his books aside moving to the dining table. 

"Do you think, our table will ever be full of people? Like other kids with me at the table?" Asked Rose and that got Davids thinking.

"Hey come on, that is a story for another day, okay?" 

Davids didn't want to dwell on that, so he had to change the subject. 

They were having, meat steak, salad and some milk but Davids had a glass of wine in front of her.

"Aren't we going to pray?" Asked Davids when she saw Rose looking at the food and picking the fork.

"Sorry."

"So how was school today?" Asked Davids.

"Normal, nothing important, but the two kids are still messing things for me like they want to be the first to get a meal even when they are behind me, they have this elder cousin of theirs who makes sure that they are treated right and they get whatever they need, do you think I need to slap them?" 

Davids chuckled at Rose's complaint. She knew, bullying was common but it was not fair for someone to jump over and get the food first before him if he was in front of the line.

"Next time they do that, move forward and tell them to stop acting like useless Mongolia and act like human beings." 

"Are you sure, their cousin might hit me you know," said Rose.

"Are you afraid? Face his cousin and tell him to fuck off or you will report him to your father, right?"

Rose gave Davids a high five. He didn't know if he will do that, but he hoped it helps.

"How was your day though?" Asked Rose.

"Well for starters, I had an amazing meeting, met some new investors and then secondly, I did some new interior design. Then met with your uncle, Brian, took some lunch then waited for the evening and picked you up."

"You seem to be having an amazing day, unlike mine where I am stuck with books every day and children who are crying every second because of something that I don't know about."

Davids knew how Rose hated people who are boring in front of him. She doesn't know how to make sure that he gets one good team for him. Most of the time when she is free, she takes him along for some business meetings and lunch gatherings. That's the only way he can enjoy his free time. They play video games and listen to Ted talk which is unlike a child of his age but much to Davids Surprise, Rose loves all that. If you tell him to go and play with his friend or children his age, he will shrug it and stay behind.

"That'd why I want you to come with me tomorrow," said Davids.

"That's nice, I hope your buddy is not boring and goofy, like that businessman whom we met and all he did was look at you with bored eyes," said Rose chuckling.

"What about staying with grandPa?" Asked Davids.

Most of the time her father had offered to babysit Rise while she was away in business.

"Trust me, if I get a chance to stay with him for a month, I might be the next Elon Musk. I mean, grandpa is diverse, he is not only focused on politics, but he also shows you how to do things, he invited you to attend and give your opinion and he took my opinion of going to Jamaican because they have cool coconut juice and isn't that just amazing. Then grandma, fashion, new items in the market. With her, I know I will be wearing different types of clothing for every occasion and won't miss to suit up or even miss a large and I will never be colour blind, but uncle Brian, all he does is gossip, trust me you need to have him checked, he doesn't have anything to talk about apart from the type of men who kissed him and took him for a date and thru never end, who he ever settle down?"

Davids was dying of laughter right now and couldn't even finish her meal. It's like Rose was this good storyteller and at the Sam time a good comedian. 

"Okay, I will make sure I don't take you to him again, maybe grandpa will be your good friend," said Davids.

"I don't mind being with Brian, I get free treats, last time we went to Cardi B's house and I got a chance to hang out with the kids so make sure next time you are allowing him to babysit me, he is either going to Drake's or Kim Kardashian's."

David's nodded to that.

Once they were done with their dinner, Davids had to check Rose's homework to make sure he has done everything. 

"Okay big boy, check question seven, it's blank," said Davids as she checked her schedule.

"Done, it's time to sleep now," claimed Rose and Davids led her to his bedroom. 

"Okay, anything you want us to do before we sleep?" Asked Davids.

Rose hated reading romance stories and all they did was look at a new development or go through their diaries and that's it.

"Maybe tell me something good about your buddy," said Rose.

Davids quickly looked at his Instagram and showed it to Rose. 

"Uhm, he is cool, maybe I will enjoy being with him," said Rose. 

It didn't take long before he drifted to sleep, Davids kissed his forehead and covered him properly. 

One thing about Rose, is he is a calm sleeper, he doesn't turn, even when Davids wakes up to check on him, he is always still and sleeping calmly.

Davids walked to her room and the first thing she did was take a look at the letter that they had retrieved from Daniella's room.

She was not sure whether to open it or not. She was afraid of what she will get inside. Will there be a piece of good or bad news? 

She decided against the idea of leaving it lying and opened it. 

"GOODBYE!"
