Chapter 6 - 06 I DON'T WANT TOYS! I WANT YOUR HAIR!

"Goodness gracious... Mira! How are you, dear?" Angela Damien's' chief maid, exclaimed as she saw me.

"I'm fine. I've really missed you guys. And meet Mi Angioletto... Skylar. Sky say hello to Miss Angela."

"Hello, Miss, I'm Skylar Jasmine Francis. It's nice to meet you. How are you doing?" Who won't be proud? Skylar makes me so happy. She's a smart girl, I'm sure she won't let me down.

I lift her and place her on her feet because I'm sure An would love to carry her. "Oh my, oh my, aren't you a darling? I'm fine Mia Principessa. Come, come and give auntie a hug!"

At that, Skylar leaves my side and rushes to be carried by An. An takes her upstairs, whispering sweet nothing's in her ear, making Skylar a giggling mess.

Meanwhile, I take my time in savoring my surroundings. Damien's' living room is still as beautiful as ever.

Luxurious royal blue sofas taking the right amount of space by my right. Pictures of him and Ryker decorate the wall with a few other paintings.

The chandelier is one massive thing. Who knows, it might have cost thousands. White paintings compliment the room. Royal blue curtains hide the floor to ceiling windows.

A gold round table sits comfortably in the mist of the royal blue sofas.

And in front of the chairs is a massive looking flat screen, playing background music. I pick up the remote for the TV and press a button I know, all to well.

The TV room retreats back behind a painting of Damien's extended family, but this one has Ryker sitting on Nonna's lap, looking so innocent and adorable, unlike the ones I've seen times without number.

After looking at the picture, I press the button again and watch as the screen graciously reveals itself. Behind the sofas are a pair of grand looking stairways that lead to the second floor and in between is an elevator.

Yep, I know, this place screams money!

At the farther end of the room is where the dining room is located, and behind it is the kitchen that leads to various other rooms. From the second floor, you can have a view of what's happening downstairs.

I'm about to take the stairs to my room. When the front door opens, I turn and, to my surprise, I see a young man that has grown way bigger than I predicted.

"Auntie!!!!!!!!" he rushes to my side and hugs me.

Wait, is this really Ryker? "Is this you, Ryker?"

He frowns at me before laughing. "Of course, it's me, your speaking like Nonna right now or are you not seeing too well?" Ryker inquires.

"No baby, I am seeing well, you've grown so big since the last time I saw you, I just wanted to make sure it's really you! I've missed you so much!"

He smiles at me before hugging me again. I pick him up and spin him around like I do with Skylar. I stop because he tells me to. "Auntie, I've missed you too. And your baby also."

"My baby?" I know he's talking about Skyler, but I want to know what he remembers of her.

"Yes, your baby! You know, the one that was always crying, and daddy told me to look after her as my baby sister. That time you guys were all busy. She liked grabbing my hair then. I think she loves my hair." I laugh when Rykers' breath tingles my ear as he whispers the last sentence.

"My baby is upstairs with your aunt Angela, but she's a big girl now." I say with pride in my tone even though I'm speaking with a child. I just can't help it.

"Big girl?" He gasps "Auntie, please don't tell her. I said she loved my hair! Is she bigger than me? Then she'll be the big sister then, so I'll cry and drag her hair like she did mine! Hmmph!"

I want to laugh, but I can't. He looked so adorable with jealousy plastered all over his face. "No, you're still the big one, and she's your kid sister."

"Really? Let's go see her then!"

"Okay, but first, how was your day at school?"

He grinned at me.

"It was great, I did all my homework, drew a picture of dad and Mum, and Joyce and me! I miss them a lot, auntie..." I cleared the tears forming in his eyes before saying, "It's okay, baby, I also miss my dad. He died when I was pregnant with Skylar. The bad guys shot him."

"I am so sorry Auntie, I also did well in my karate class, and dad has been teaching me how to take a shot!" he exclaimed happily.

In our world, kids are taught how to shoot at an early age, you've got to be ready at an early age. No one knows when their enemies will gang up against them. At least the children will be able to defend themselves.

"Wow! That's really great! OK, that's come on, let's meet Skylar."

Once we made it upstairs. I put Ryker down. "Skylar, come and meet Ryker!" I shouted, then Ryker interjects: "Yeah, come and greet your big brother!"

Gee Ryker! "Big brother? Mummy, do I have a big brother?" Skyler asks me, even though facing Ryker.

"Yes, now say hello." "Hello, handsome Ryker, I'm Skyler Jasmine Francis. Nice to meet you."

Ryker looks up at me when Ryker calls him handsome. "Does she know what handsome means?" Ryker asks me and I nod.

"Okay? Hi, I'm Ryker Xane Pantoshi. Nice to meet you too."

"I'll share my chocolate with you, hmm? And we will not give mummy, okay? Wow! I love your hair! Can I touch it? It's so black!"

"No, don't touch my hair, please. Come let me show you my toys instead." Skylar looked angrily at him. "Why? I don't want toys. I just want to touch your hair, and besides, Mia would be jealous!"

They left together for Rykers' room with Skylar chasing after him while trying to touch his hair. While I shake my head amusingly at them.

"Mira! Come see if your room is okay." An called.

I made my way to my room, just as I had expected. The place was just as pleasant.

"It's alright An, the room is perfect. You can go now, I'll just take a quick nap before dinner."

"Okay, but before I go, should I prepare anything for Skylar?"

I lay down on the bed with my back facing the ceiling. "No, just give her chocolates."

"I'm not sure if we have chocolates here, but what about some chocolate milkshake?"

"Yeah whatever… I just need some minutes of sleep, and I'll be okay."

"Hmm okay"......
