MAFIA'S WRONG TARGET

9: AN UNEXPECTED GUEST

SYBIL'S POV 

Dream Aura,
The same night

" Papa." Dropping my bag I ran to him and hugged him tightly. " I missed you," I mumbled melting in his embrace feeling his warmth after so long.

" I missed you too." He kissed my head and caressed my back softly.

" Why were you out this late?" He asked.

I was frozen until Lia came out in full dress. I eyed her as even her palms were hidden under her oversized hoodie. This was my first time seeing her this much covered.

" Thank God you came." She said sighing audibly as if she was desperately waiting for me. I pulled out of the hug and Papa also faced her.

" Did you bring my painkillers? This period's cramps are killing me." She added putting her hands over her stomach extra too dramatically.

Why is this girl talking about periods SO OPENLY in front of Papa, we have never. She's giving me secondhand embarrassment.

"What medicine-"

"Ahhhh..."

Her loud whimpers cut me off and she bent a bit. I tried to read her lips as she was mouthing something with pressed teeth looking pissed.

It took me a few seconds to understand that she was telling me to 'Bitch, Act along' through her eyes.

I gave her a slight nod. " It's in my bag." I sucked at acting yet Lia covered it up and took my bag pack.

" I'm sorry, uncle, I sent her out at this hour for my medicines," Lia said making us apart.

" Please don't apologise," Papa said innocently.

Lia's acting was on another level. She made Papa believe her so easily.

" I'll make something for you to eat," I said to Papa.

" I've already eaten. Your friend makes delicious food. " He replied touching his stomach.

"Orders." I laughed internally. She can't even peel a potato.

I encircled my arm around his and looked up at him. " Let's talk a lot." I dragged him with me to the couch. " How did you come here?" I began.

" Your mama was thinking too much about you lately. She kept on telling me to take her here to see you." He looked at Lia from the corner of his eyes as she was casually roaming behind us then lowered his voice. " I had not enough money for two tickets so I came alone."

I pulled him into another hug feeling his chest relaxing.

" I missed you both too, Papa." I almost cried but as Lia said I had to not show it to my parents so I controlled my emotions.

The memories he'll make until he's here are what gonna replay until we meet again.

I closed my eyes as he caressed my back gently.

I missed these arms the most.

I'm closer to him than I'm close to my Mama. He's the sweetest father ever.

I smiled opening my eyes which directly caught the champagne bottle placed on the dining table. I tried to tell Lia to hide the bottle through my eyes and she seemed to understand me and went to grab it.

" I've to catch the next train in the morning," Papa said making me pull back.

" You'll leave?" My voice came out whining.
