Chapter Seven: Do you miss your mother?

Alex POV...

*Knock*

"Jasmine come in" I knew it was her, her little knocks betrayed her.

"Daddy" Jasmine stuck her head through the door. Of course she knew she got daddy mad that's why she knocked or didn't squeal or run in to give me a hug.

"you awake?"

Letting guilt do the punishment on her was my specialty.

"I'm sorry daddy" she slid a piece of hair behind her ears.

Guilt was really eating her up.

"Come to daddy" I tapped my lap and she walked over to me, squeezing her stuff teddy even more.

"Whose your mother?"

I knew wasn't supposed to be asking her that but I had to know what she felt cause we never had a conversation about her never having a woman in her life. She asked me just once and I told her she didn't have one and ever since then she never asked or tried to know more.

She chewed on her lips for a long time before spitting out.

"I don't have one" she locked her eyes with mine and for once I regretted putting her in this condition.

"what makes you think you don't have a mother?.... Baby don't you miss your mother sometimes?"

I was pushing my boundaries but I just had to know what she felt about this inwards, for God's sake how can a kid not cry or want her mother sometimes at least once in a while?.

"I do, but I also try not" she answered so innocently

"Why would you say that baby?"

"Because she doesn't want me, if she did she wouldn't have left me" she lowered her head and I hugged her tightly as I was moved to tears.

"Daddy, are you crying?" she tried to break hold from my arms but nope I was too strong.

"of course not, why would I?"

"I want ice-cream"

"promise me you won't get in anymore fights"

She was reluctant and only shrugged

"promise?"

"what do I do when they pick on me?"

"I know this sounds weird coming from me but report whatever is going on to your teacher okay?"

"Whattt????.....Daddy you taught me to fight back"

"I taught you to be Jasmine Black, a strong woman but some times you just have to let somethings go"

"I want ice-cream" she pouted

"a minute, I need to finish this up then Daddy will be all yours" I pecked her cheek.

"nooo I want nowww" she threw her teddy to the wall.

Here we go again, she was throwing one of her tantrums.

"Baby relax I'll ge_"

"Hey man" David walked in

"What's happening with our princess?" she walked over to my table.

"I want ice-creammmm" she got louder

I tried getting to my feet but she kept on wiggling her body,

"She wants Ice-cream" I managed to say between breaths

"Jasmine won't you say Hi to me?"

she paused for a second

"will you get me Ice-cream?"

"Uhmm of course"

"Good evening Uncle David" she jumped off me to her uncle.

"Wow" I said before laughing out loud

"can we go?" she tugged on his shirt

"Sure. Here are my keys, go wait in the car I'll be with you in a second"

"But_"

"you can have three scoops of Ice-cream"

"Deal" she snatched the keys and ran out of my study.

"give my five year old daughter three scoops of Ice-cream and I'll kill you"

"of course, you don't really think I'll give her three scoops of Ice-cream?....well that's by the way, what did you want to talk about?"

"Get the biggest and professional agencies on the line.....My baby needs a Nanny"
