A Chance For Him
Kelly’s POV
“One more cake, sweetie?” Snow immediately nodded while still eating. I smiled and put another cake on her plate. I liked the chocolate syrup on top and her eyes twinkled with happiness.
We had the sweets Pierce brought last night for our breakfast and Snow loves it so much.
I’m done, so I went out of the kitchen to continue unpacking our things. I chose a two bedroom loft style condo for me and Snow. This is enough and good for us. I can easily see her wherever I am inside the house since it’s not too big.
“Mommy, you have so many friends here.”
I looked at Snow as I opened the box in front of me. She’s sitting on the dining chair while eating breakfast.
“Do you like my friends, sweetie?”
“Yes! I especially like Pierce. He looked very kind.”
That made me still. She liked Pierce the most. Now I’m starting to wonder if she enjoyed the cake too much because it was from Pierce. I don’t know what to say. Will she get mad at me if I told her that the friend she likes is actually her dad?
I don’t know what to say so I just gave her a smile. I was about to open another box when someone rang the doorbell. I put the cutter knife on the box and walked towards the door. When I opened the door, my lips parted after I saw two men standing in front. They’re both carrying paper bags from different pastry shops and their foreheads are both creased.
I cleared my throat. “Ehem! Mr. Walter Pierce…”
–
Pierce immediately smiled at me. “Good morning, Kelly”
“Good morning, Miss Monroe, I was on my way to my office when I saw a newly opened pastry shop. I hope you like sweets.”
“She definitely likes sweets but particularly the sweets I bought,” Pierce said with a hint of annoyance before he looked at me again and smiled.
I took a deep sigh. I don’t want to enter into another relationship, but that doesn’t mean treating them rudely. I opened the door widely and nodded at them. “Come in.”
I heard groans and when I looked back, they couldn’t fit in the door opening because they’re trying to enter at the same time. Are they kids?
“Younger ones first, sir,” Pierce said arrogantly.
I palmed my forehead and shook my head. I know Pierce. He’s becoming childish when jealous and I know he won’t let Mr. Walter wins.
Mr. Walter shook his head and stepped back. Pierce seemed even more pissed because of what he did. Now, his pride couldn’t take that someone let him win without an argument.
“PIERCE!” Snow’s delighted voice echoed in the whole unit. That immediately changed Pierce’s expression.
He’s smiling as he walks towards the kitchen and sits beside Snow, ignoring me.
“Oh! Was that the cake I brought last night?”
A Chance For Him
2/3
“Yes! It’s so delicious, Pierce. I liked it very much!”
I pressed my lips together as I watched them. I felt Mr. Walter’s presence behind me so I faced him and smiled. “Uh…do you want something to drink, Mr. Walter?”
He shook his head and lifted the paper bag in his hand. “I just really came here to bring this. I have so much paperwork at the office so I can’t stay long
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you to unpack,” he added as he roamed his eyes around.
“No, it’s okay. Thanks for the sweets, by the way.”
“Yeah. It’s pretty much alright if you can’t help. I’m here, anyway.” Pierce’s voice interrupted us.
When I looked at him, he’s looking at us with a frown. I just shook my head and looked at Mr. Walter apologetically. “Thank you again, Mr. Walter.”
He smiled. “I got to go, Miss Monroe. Bye, Snow.”
“Bye, Mr. Walter!” Snow waved at him happily.
I smiled as I watched my daughter. Not immature like her father.
After Mr. Walter left, I put the box of sweets he bought on the island counter and looked at Pierce. I put my hands on my waist and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
“What?” He asked, avoiding my gaze.
“I think you should go to work too.”
“You have work, Pierce?”
“Yes, sweetheart. I have work and I’m the boss.” Pierce answered as he looked at Snow again. He seemed so happy that Snow asked him as if he found a way to escape from me. Not a chance, big bad boy.
“You’re so cool!”
I shook my head and went back to unpacking our things. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Pierce constantly glancing my way. Now he’s worried that I’m angry.
