"Why are you even looking for her? She left Henrique here." I raised my voice, "Do you really think she wants to be found? Do you think she cares about anyone but herself?" I hear could hear my voice cracking and feel the tears coming. "If she wanted Henrique she would have kept him but No! She didn't. She left him at your office, left him so she could go back to her model life and so all the immoral things. That's how she is. She hurts people. She doesn't care about anyone. Nobody." I felt the first tear on my face.
My sister was mean and evil. Look what she did to her own child, look what she did to me.
The loud crying of Henrique came through the walkie talky. I wiped my face with both my hands. Thank God Henrique woke up, he saved me from a whole heap of embarrassment that was about to come. I push the chair back and stand.
"I have to go, Henrique, is awake and he's probably very hungry." I held on tight to walkie talky in my hands. I didn't want Alexander mentioning my little breakdown.
He nods, then said. "We'll continue this later."
Nodding I turn and left the office.
I couldn't wait until I was far away from that office.
What the hell just happened?
I started crying in front him now he knows that something terribly really happened with my sister and he's going want to dig up old wounds. Wounds that still haven't healed as yet.
Whenever you're sad just eat ice-cream and that's exactly what I going to do now. I walk down the stairs with Henrique on my hips. It was around 10 pm so Ms. Wilson was probably already asleep and Alexander, well I had no idea about his sleeping habits.
When I was on the ground floor, I slowly walked into the kitchen. I wasn't wearing any shoes, so it was easier not to make noise. When I reach the kitchen, I walked over to the huge fridge and open it. Last night when I was sneaking around late I noticed a perfectly full jar of cookie and cream ice-cream.
Cookie and Cream! Of course, I have to steal it.
I took out the jar of ice-cream, then walked over to the draw to take out two spoons.
I place Henrique on the island to sit, while I sat on a stool. I take off the cap of the jar and looked down at the ice-cream.
I moan at the black and white mixture. This ice-cream was made for me. Ms Wilson must have known Cookie and Cream was my favourite, so she left me this goody in the fridge as an apology treat.
Yeah right.
Laughing, I shake my head and pushed my spoon in the icy mixture, I shovel a large amount then place it in my mouth. I shivered from the sudden coldness, but I didn't mind it at all. It was so worth it. I took a next spoon but placing it in Henrique's mouth instead.
He made his face up from the sudden brain freeze but then quickly lick the rest off the spoon. When I moved the spoon from his mouth he starts reaching for it.
Laughing, "Look at that. You have good taste in ice-cream." I put in the spoon again and give me another taste. I let go of the spoon giving Henrique full control to feed himself.
I dipped my spoon in the ice-cream and brought it back to my mouth, watching me Henrique did the same thing.
I smiled. He was super smart.
"Hey, you're stealing all my ice-cream." I playful said at the baby whose face was now covered in ice-cream.
"The last time I check that was my ice-cream." I froze at the voice behind me.
Oh, Oh. I got caught.
I slowly turned around with the spoon in hand. Alexander was standing at the entrance of the kitchen. He was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts. He looked hella sexy, like always.
I flushed. "I'm sorry. I had no idea it was yours." I didn't care whose it was either. This house is owned by a billionaire, he can buy the whole ice-cream factory if he wanted.
"I'll let you off the hook if you let me have some."
"Deal!" he walked past me and open the cutlery draw taking out a spoon. I pull one of the stools closer to me and sat.
He looked at Henrique and smile. "He seems to be enjoying himself."
"Oh, yeah. We both are. Cookie and Cream is the best ice-cream on the planet."
He nods his head and smile. "I completely agree and that's why I bought 10 of these jars."
I looked at him with my eyes widen. "What?"
"I know. Ten." He says nodding.
I shake my head. "This is the only one in the fridge."
He chuckles. "I'm a billionaire, why would I have one fridge?" I nod. It made complete sense, why would he have one refrigerator?
I looked at him with a grin on my face, "So you're telling me, that somewhere in this house there is a next fridge that has nine other jars of cookie and cream ice-cream?"
"Yup." He answered popping the p.
"No way! I don't believe you."
"There is. I can tell you where it is but I'd be giving away my secret stash because there is also chocolate bars and everything sweet there." My mind could only think about the cookie and cream ice-cream and all the other chocolate he was talking about.
"Trust me, I'm not the person to give that kind of information. I love chocolate, so I would probably eat everything in that fridge and not give you any."
"Yea and that's why I'm keeping it to myself." He chuckles and places his full spoon in his mouth.
