1 parked my car in front of my friend’s house, looking at the three
three people sleeping in my car.
I nudged Brian, and he grumbled, barely opening his eyes. Likewise, 1 quickly tapped his forehead, making him jump.
“What’s wrong, man?” he asked, startled,
“We ve arrived!” 1 informed him.
He looked around to confirm what I said.
“These two are asleep, and I’m not carrying angone,” the grumbled.
Olivia, and I’ll carry your sister, I

“Olivia,” he called her, but she didn’t move. He sighed in annoyance and got out of the car to carry ber.
I waited for him to enter his house carrying Olivia before getting out of the car to open the back door where Julia was. I picked her up in my arms, and she settled comfortably, renting her head on my chest, Furthermore, I used my fout to close the door and went inside the house.
I laid Julia down on the bed and spent a brief moment observing her sleep. She doesn’t seem like the hurricane I know. I gently stroked her face, and she grumbled but continued sleeping-
“I love you, princess, I whispered as I left her mom.
Olivia in a spooning I chuckled and
Before leaving. I checked on Brian in his room to make sure he was fine. I opened the door, and he was sleeping with O closed the door again.
My phone was ringing uncontrollably on the bedside table. I was furious because I had hardly slept; I just laid down, and this damn thing won’t stop ringing. I declined the call countless times. Furthermore, I grabbed my phone to turn it off so I could go back to sleep, but I saw my friend’s name there. I didn’t think twice about answering.
‘I hope it’s important! I
I said when I answered,
‘Did I interrupt your fun? he teased.
You interrupted my sleep, man,” I replied angrily. “I just laid down to sleep!”
So, you get up and come pick up yo
your friend at the airport, right?” he asked.
Where’s your diver?” I inquired, sitting up by the bed.
you rated, making him laugh.
Was it a mistake?
“I me you my life, damn it. You took care of my kids!”
“I’m on my way,” I said, ending the call.
I tossed my phone on the bed and got up. Usually, I sleep in my underwear, so I quickly put on some comfortable clothes. I grabbed my wallet and car keys and left
the house.
I checked the time on my car’s radio, and it was exactly 5:30 AM, which meant I only slept for 30 minutes. Furthermore, I’m exhausted.
The streets of New York were empty, which made it
easier for me to reach the airport faster.
From a distance, I spotted my friend and his wife, Ava. I parked my car in front of them and got out to help John put the luggage in the trunk of the car.
“Hey, my friend,” I said, greeting him with a handshake, and he pulled me into a brief hug.
“How are things? Did the kids behave?” Ava asked, concerned.
“Good morning, Ava. I’m fine, and you?” I replied playfully, and she laughed.
“Oh, sorry.
I’m just s
so worried about my kids.”
“Worried about what? You thought I wouldn’t take good care of them?” I asked.
“It’s not that,” she smiled. “Julia left earlier than planned, and I know something happened to my girl.”
I swallowed hard, she’s right about that.
“She wanted the comfort of her home; nothing beats our own house, right?” I tried to reassure her.
“No doubt about that. The trip was wonderful, but I wanted my bed,” Ava spoke.
“You look terrible!” John patted me on the back. Little does he know that the reason is his daughter.
“Let’s get going before I leave you behind,” 1 joked, closing the trunk..
I’m in love
POV JULIA
I only ask one thing of you: please don’t get too comfortable with love. Don’t think that loving someone is enough to keep them in your life.
I heard voices downstairs in my house. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but after waking up properly, I focused on the voices I heard, and they seemed to be my
parents.
Is it possible?
I jumped out of bed with my nightgown on, but I didn’t even bother with that. I practically ran out of my room and stumbled down the stairs, tripping over my own
leet.
In the living room, my parents were indeed there, hugging Brian.
“I thought I was dreaming.” I said, catching their attention
They all looked at me, and my mom ran over to hug me.

“I missed you so much, sweetheart,” she hugged me, “and I was worried about you too,” She looked at me, knowing I couldn’t lie to
I nodded and went to hug my dad
“Dad!” I called, and he pulled me into a hug.
“My princess,” he said into the hug, “how are you? Did you miss me a lot?” he asked, preening.
I missed you a lot.”
“Oh, beat, are there any clothes missing from your closet?” Brian asked, teasing n
“Get lost!” I stuck my tongue out at him.
“Watch your tonguer my mother scolded me.
