SINGLE DAD
<p><br></p><p>???? Babysitting His Crazy Kids ????</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>???? Episode 3 ????</p><p><br></p><p>???? DAVID ????</p><p><br></p><p>The moment Janie screamed my name, I knew there was trouble. I led Kay to where they were.</p><p><br></p><p>“Yes Janie” I drawled.</p><p><br></p><p>“Dad how come she knows your name? I thought mom was the only person who knew it… And your best friend Mark.”</p><p><br></p><p>OMG! She’s so childish.</p><p><br></p><p>“Can you stop acting childish Janie?”</p><p><br></p><p>“I am a child dad..” she retorted, with a furrowed brow.</p><p><br></p><p>“But you don’t act like one. A good child would always wait for explanatons before jumping into conclusions.</p><p><br></p><p>This lady here is with me cause I made her loose her money and worse, I ruined her dress”</p><p>I paused as my kids focused on the stained dress. Realizing what they never noticed in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>“She isn’t my girlfriend okay, and we don’t know each other. We just met today. I was supposed to take her shopping for a new dress in replacement of the one I ruined but she insisted I come pick you guys first.</p><p><br></p><p>Isn’t that enough to thank her for.</p><p>I think that’s enough to show her respect.”</p><p><br></p><p>I added. Looking so disappointed at their behavior.</p><p><br></p><p>“It’s okay Mr David. You’re making them feel bad.” The lady which funny enough I don’t know her name spoke on their behalf.when she saw the faces of my kids.</p><p><br></p><p>“Now say sorry to her kids.” I ruffled my hair.. looking frustrated.</p><p><br></p><p>“Let’s just go home..” janietta grumbled out Walking over to the side of my car.</p><p><br></p><p>I stared at her reaction and didn’t even know what to say.</p><p>I turned, facing the two. Noel and kay</p><p><br></p><p>“You two say sorry to her” I formed a straight face At them.</p><p><br></p><p>“I’m hungry ????” Noel rolled out. Walking out of my sight.</p><p><br></p><p>This is so crazy… Correcting my kids is one thing they don’t find okay.. they suddenly become upset and not happy with me for scolding them.</p><p><br></p><p>Great. Just Great!</p><p><br></p><p>“Sorry…” Kayla smiled at the lady.</p><p><br></p><p>“It’s okay sweetie.. what’s your name?” She asked. Squatting to my little girl’s height.</p><p><br></p><p>“Kayla… And yours?”</p><p><br></p><p>Yeah, one question I forgot to ask her at the very first place.</p><p><br></p><p>“Rosiana”</p><p><br></p><p>“You’re pretty Rosiana” my baby remarked.</p><p><br></p><p>True. Absolutely true. She isn’t just pretty. She’s physically endowed with beautiful features.</p><p><br></p><p>“And you’re beautiful..” she complimented Kayla who giggled In excitement as she ran to meet her siblings.</p><p><br></p><p>‘omg! Janietta..she just said I’m beautiful”</p><p><br></p><p>Hahaha! I love my baby girl so much.</p><p><br></p><p>“Dad! Come open your car. I wanna go home” janietta called out.</p><p><br></p><p>“…and eat” Noel seconded.</p><p><br></p><p>“Let’s go please.. ” I spoke out to Rosiana and she nodded.</p><p><br></p><p>I used the key control to unlock the doors of the car before hopping in.</p><p><br></p><p>Janietta quickly sat on the front seat beside me.. leaving Rosiana standing outside.</p><p><br></p><p>“Get down Janie.. join your siblings at the back..”</p><p><br></p><p>“But dad…</p><p><br></p><p>“No questions.. Rosiana wants to seat here”.. I hushed her.</p><p><br></p><p>She angrily mumbled some words before stepping down.</p><p><br></p><p>“Don’t get too Confy with my dad” she said straight to Rosiana’s face before joining her siblings.</p><p><br></p><p>“Ignore her, she’s always like that. ” I said to Rosiana as she hopped in.</p><p><br></p><p>“No problem. Thanks” she balanced herself before I ignited the engine.</p><p><br></p><p>“Seatbelts!” I mouthed as I adjusted the front mirror above me. Staring at my kids Through it as they strapped the belt across themselves.</p><p><br></p><p>“Good” I muttered as I revised out of the school.</p><p>Heading straight home.</p><p><br></p><p>???? ROSIANA ????</p><p><br></p><p>The silence in the car as he drove on was somehow. It wasn’t comfortable at all. I suspected I’m the cause of it.</p><p><br></p><p>Cause I don’t see why a family would be so queit on a day’s ride.</p><p>At least the kids are supposed to talk about school, homeworks..and interesting stuff to their dad.</p><p><br></p><p>I bet they aren’t too comfortable with me here.</p><p>I just can’t wait to get back home.</p><p><br></p><p>“Dad I’m hungry…” David’s little boy spoke out as his stomach made a sound.</p><p><br></p><p>“You’ll eat when you get home okay..” his dad responded.</p><p><br></p><p>“The last time I checked before going to school, there’s no food at home. Cause you didn’t wake up on time to make us breakfast. And lunch..”</p><p><br></p><p>Wake up on time? So David makes breakfast for his family before going to work?</p><p>What about his wife??</p><p><br></p><p>“Oh..God! I didn’t remember..” he palmed the steering.</p><p><br></p><p>“You kids are gonna wait till I go get junior from daycare. Then I’ll buy food packs from a restaurant so you guys can eat to your fill”</p><p><br></p><p>Another baby? My eyes almost popped out as I realized he has another baby…</p><p><br></p><p>This man is the father of all Nation. Imagine staying at home with the type of kids he has.. Four in number at that.</p><p><br></p><p>“. I’m gonna die of hunger before you get back..” My favorite Kayla almost cried.</p><p>I don’t like to see her in a bad mood..</p><p><br></p><p>I just like her so much.</p><p><br></p><p>“Kay.. Baby. You won’t die.. I’ll beat the traffic for your sake. You won’t die okay.. not when there’s enough water to revive you” David spoke out.</p><p><br></p><p>And I take that as a joke.</p><p><br></p><p>” What? Dad no way! I’m hungry too and I can’t wait for you to get junior first. It is our stomach first. Our stomach. Your first Priority. ” The older girl spoke out.</p><p><br></p><p>I coçked my ears in amusement.</p><p><br></p><p>“Yes dad. Justice for our stomach..” Noel seconded</p><p><br></p><p>“I want pancakes for lunch!</p><p><br></p><p>The three kids started ranting.</p><p><br></p><p>Their rantings almost deafened my ears</p><p>As passers by couldn’t help but stare at the car. So noisy!</p><p><br></p><p>“Alright… Kids! Kids! Calm down. Ca–”</p><p><br></p><p>But they wouldn’t even listen to their dad either. Instead they only increased the noise.</p><p><br></p><p>Is all this happening because of food?</p><p><br></p><p>“I’ll cook for you guys” I voiced out.</p><p><br></p><p>And everywhere suddenly turned pin-silent..as they stared at me. Suprised.</p><p><br></p><p>“I mean I could help with lunch before your dad gets back..” I added as they kept staring. ..</p><p><br></p><p>Did I just say something wrong?</p><p><br></p><p>Well I used to work as a cook at Dean’s restaurant till he fired me this morning.</p><p><br></p><p>I could help them at least for Kayla’s sake. I don’t want her to die.</p><p>~like she earlier said~</p><p><br></p><p>“That’s if you guys are okay with it ” I quickly replied..</p><p><br></p><p>“You sure about that?” David stared at me as if in doubt.</p><p><br></p><p>“Yeah..” I nodded.</p><p><br></p><p>“Kids?” David arched.. calling out to them to know what they think about it.</p><p><br></p><p>“Sure. You can cook for us. So far it doesn’t taste like dad’s socks!”. Little Noel agreed.</p><p><br></p><p>Wait. What? Did he just say his dad’s socks?????</p><p><br></p><p>“NOEL??!!!” David screamed out his boys name…!</p><p>His eyes turning smokey-red</p><p><br></p><p>I quickly suppressed my laugh</p>
