Max was stunned and it was evident on his face. He didn't bat an eye as he stared at them.Amelia was surprised by Rey's action but she couldn't resist those lips so she returned the kiss. Rey pulled her body closer while Amelia lowered his neck with her hands as they continued kissing, oblivious to the people staring at them.A woman in the gym quickly covered her daughter's eyes."Mom, I'm twelve can you stop embarrassing me like this?" "No. I am not going to let you see any of that. I wonder why these grown adults are getting all romantic at the gym. Jeez." The woman said in a serious tone.Amelia released her grip on Rey's neck, slowly breaking the kiss. She stared at him with so many emotions in her eyes before drawing in for a hug.Rey rested his jaw on Amelia's head as he closed his eyes, wrapping his arms tighter around her little body.Max was sick of the whole drama.He paced forward with thoughts to talk to Amelia. He wanted answers to all of the questions that brewed up

"Princess, breakfast is served," Rey called as he dropped the tray of food on the dining table. Amelia was applying her lip balm when she heard Rey's voice. She admired herself in the mirror, swaying her hair out as she smiled at her reflection.Amelia was wearing a white gown designed with red polka dots. She walked out of the room like a model on the fashion runway."So what are we having today?" Amelia asked as her eyes scanned over the table."Just some scrambled eggs, some toast, and juice. My treat." Rey said as he drew a chair out to sit.Amelia made a little clap, "Great." They soon started having their food and Amelia had a red face as Rey kept throwing naughty glances at her."I'm trying to eat Rey, stop staring at me," Amelia said.Rey shrugged, "But you're doing the same." Amelia cornered a smile on her lips, "You must feel so smart after saying that."Rey smiled, "Of course, I learned from the best after all." Amelia knew he was referring to her. She shook her head, "

Amelia jerked up from Rey's lap in fright. Her eyes widened in surprise as her heart raced faster than normal.Her father here? He never informed her of his arrival. No one was aware that he'd be coming home.Rey was equally in surprise but there was no expression on his face as he maintained composure.Mr. Brown stared at them with so many questions brewing up in his mind. He threw his suitcase on the couch as he walked towards them.Mr. Brown's presence was anything but ordinary. His tailored blue suit and crisp white shirt gave him an air of professionalism, while his neatly trimmed hair and polished black shoes showed respect for attention to detail. But it was his eyes that truly commanded attention, sharp and intense as they fixed on Rey and Amelia. There was a quiet, yet unmistakable sense of power and authority that radiated from him, making Amelia tremble with every step he took closer. "Dad.. you're.. you're home, welcome back." Amelia stuttered in a fit to break the awkwa

Amelia banged her leg on the door. He already left, she said to herself."I can't believe he left without me seeing him." Amelia frowned as she walked into her room.She had gone to check her dad in his room but he had already left for the meeting.Amelia looked forward to having breakfast with her dad. But now that he already left for the office, she didn't feel like having breakfast anymore.Amelia's frown softened as she felt her phone in her jeans. "I'll just put a call through." And with that, she dialed her father's number but it forwarded into voicemail.She called a few more times and then it rang. Amelia's heart raced as she waited for a response.The call went through, Amelia didn't wait to hear who was on the phone before speaking."Dad, why'd you leave without seeing me? Couldn't you at least wait for us to have breakfast? Yes, I know you told me about the meeting but you could have at least come to say bye. Dad, I'm so mad." She complained."Uh.. ma'am Mr Brown is curre

As the days went by, Mr Brown's little spark of suspicion grew.He knew there was something between Amelia and Rey but he was yet to figure it out. Or maybe, he was yet to find enough evidence. They were keeping their tracks clean so he was going to create his evidence himself. He drummed his fingers on his glass as he created schemes in his mind."Hey Dad, what are you thinking about?" Amelia's voice snapped him out of his thoughts."Oh dear, you're here. You're looking so beautiful." Mr Brown complimented his daughter in a fit to distract her from her question.Amelia tugged a shy smile as she swayed her hair out, "Thanks, Dad." "So, any outings for today?" Mr Brown asked.Amelia got lost in thought for a while and then she shook her head, "No. I doubt it." Mr Brown dropped his glass on the table as he turned to the sofa, "But then what would you be doing all day?" Amelia shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't set out any activity for today so I guess I'll just stay home."Mr Brown sm
