🔆RIC POV🔆
I was kind of scared that Aaliyah got hurt while I went out or something, but nothing bad happened. Her eyes were red from crying but she smiled and bit her lips to keep them from quivering and blinked her eyes to get rid of the blur.
“What exactly happened?” I asked
“Nothing” she typed, shaking her head sideways
I studied her intently. In that moment I was certain I saw something in her eyes – something akin to remorse.
I Kissed her on the head and hair showing her affection and protectiveness, indicating a close emotional bond. ‘I’m here for you” I whispered in her ear
“Do you need anything?” I inquired. I brushed her hair back over her shoulders, stroking the soft curly hair with one hand and she shook her head
I looked through my suit Jacket and pulled out my wallet. When she stared up at me, I was pulling a card from my wallet and gave it to her
“If you intend to go shopping with me but I’m busy, always use the credit card to do Home Shopping and order goods online” I told her
She stretched her arms across my broad chest and hugged me. I made my way to the bathroom and then strolled to the closet which was jam-packed with new and designer clothes. I put on my pajamas, I was so tired that I did nothing but lying in bed.
My phone rang as I closed my eyes, I grudgingly picked it up and spoke with Dad and Ria for a few minutes. Dropping the phone on the beside table, I turned to see tears on Aaliyah’s face. So I cupped her face and wiped a tear with my thumb
“What’s the matter crybaby?” I quizzed. I was already used to her being extremely sensitive and quick to burst into tears
“I miss my parents” She texted me.
I enfolded her in an affectionate hug, closing her eyes, she melted into my embrace. She was breathing okay but sometimes I heard a hiccup noise. So I handed her ice-cold water to sip.
Under my soothing, she fell asleep quickly. When I pulled the covers over her, she stretched out and fell asleep again.
Nearly an hour later, I was aroused from my nap by the doorbell as it buzzed loudly. I hurried to answer the doorbell and opened the door. Two ladies were coming in with shopping bags full of luxury goods.
I locked the door and began to check all the bags. Trendy designer watches, top designer wears and shoes. Then I saw a love card and picked it up
“It’s not the things you say, but the things you do that mean the most to me. Thank you for being so absolutely wonderful” I looked up from the card and smiled
I was totally amazed. I loved her brilliance and generous heart. I leaned down and kissed her on the head
Willingly, I brought out another card and put it inside her purse because she made me feel special and I was assured that I had a space in her heart and also part of her life
