Doctor Annabelle

part 17

By the time I got to my house Delia had ran out of all the good things she is capable of in case i decided to keep her

It was sad hearing a 7 year old say something like that. What type of life had she really been living for her to have to have a mindset like that.

If you keep me i can wash dishes

I can clean the house but im too small to lift things up

I can spread the bed

I can't cook, but i can learn

I'm very reliable if you need to deliver something

And thats when I felt my anger rise up. Delia  was a smart kid. Not like normal kind of smart but those kids who were too fast and have a mindset of a genius but also street smart enough to do what she can to survive. She liked to read and watch tv shows about science and maths and geographical stuff. She told me that too

Its like her mouth burned if she kept it shut. She talked so fast i had to pay extra attention because she could not pronouns some the words right with her front teeth gone

When we got home i carried her inside and straight to the bathroom. There was no way i was letting her  touch anything without a bath. I sat her on the sink and prepared for her bath before I removed her clothes

I was shocked by a huge scar on her stomach. I did not change my facial expression i just put her clothes in the laundry basket and gently sat her in the water. She smiled dipping herself till it was just her head out

"In movies ladies sit in a tub like this drinking  red alcohol in fancy bubbles" she said looking at me

"Really? Now you are a fancy lady. Just soak in and i will be right back"

"I'm never getting out" she giggled and i laughed getting out running to my kitchen and took out cranberry juice putting it in a wine glass and went back to the bathroom with my phone. She was playing with bubbles

"Ok madam i got your fancy drink, please relax and enjoy" I used a weird french accent and she giggled

"Oh my, thank you dear servant"

I held myself back from laughing as she sat on the small exterior of the tub, half her body in the water. I handed her the drink and she wrapped her whole hand around it before sipping it closing her eye

"Splendid!" She said opening her eyes seeing that i was taking a video of her. She pulled her head back pushing her fingers in her hair like they do in movies but it was just funny

"Beautiful mademoiselle"

"I know" she sighed dramatically taking a sip of her drink then busted out laughing

"Ey, stay in character"

"I'm sorry but I'm hungry and I want to drink the rest of this" she said nervously gesturing at her cup

"Let's give you a bath then you can have a meal" i ordered a bunch of different pizzas and some Chinese before putting my phone down and scrub her hair washing her body before drying her up then put on her baby lotion

I went to my last drawer where i kept new clothes for Jayson. I took out a warm grey tracksuit and put it on her

"It's soo soft" she said in awe

I dried her hair with a towel then brushed it and tie it up with my hair band. I put on some warm soaks then carried her to the dining room. The doorbell came on ringing and my guard brought me boxes and a receipt then i handed him cash.
