Seducing The Single Dad ✔️

5. Girls Night

Amanda

Dad called earlier and asking my whereabouts, I told him that I was having a girls night at Angelica's and I'm in a secure apartment complex.

"Just be careful okay, the cops said that Troy was at his residence when the fire incident took place. You know that he was out on good behavior, so our lawyer is still trying to put a restraining order against him. Meanwhile, I need you to be on guard he could easily put someone to the task..." dad went on talking until he finally ended the call an hour later.

I was exhausted just listening to him, my life suddenly turned very dark in just a couple of days. I didn't realize that I shed a tear until little Mable came up to me and wipe it away with her little hand.

"Are you okay aunt Amanda? Do you want me to hug you? My daddy always hugs me every time I'm sad and it always makes me feel better." The pigtailed little girl said sweetly at me.

I couldn't resist her charm so I smile at her and open my arms, she was hugging me tightly and rubbed my back.

"You're right Mable, this feels good. Thank you." I released her and kissed her cheek.

"Now, that you're good, let's carry on with painting my nails. Aunt Angie is still feeding baby Dennis, I want purple nails with glitters on them." She gave me her adorable toothy grin, making me smile widely at her.

We were still in our silly makeup from earlier, green eye shadow and sloppy deep red lipstick. She was saying she wanted her eyes just like Pascal, the chameleon from Rapunzel.

"You are just the cutest aren't you Rapunzel? Come I'll do your nails then you can do mine, I want rainbow color nails can you do that? Are you up for the challenge?" I said as she was skipping her way to the so-called nail station that Angie had set up in front of the TV.

Her favorite cartoon show was still on, and she quickly sits down on the plush pillows giving me her outstretched hands. We were laughing to her cartoon as I did her nails, her chubby little hands were just too cute as I gave her my best work for the purple glitter nail polish. She giggled excitedly when I finished with her nails.

"Don't tell aunt Angie, but you do better nails than her. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!" She gave me her little hug, making my heart sighed in delight.

Then it was her turn in polishing my nails, it was a mess of color rainbow nails, but I thanked her none the less and her face was beaming with pride.

"My teacher said that I'm getting better at coloring inside the lines...."

"What? Seriously? Well, she hasn't seen your latest work then...you should be the best in your class with what you did to my nails." I showed her the messy result, she knows that she was not that good, making both of us laugh in unison.

"I like you, aunt Amanda, please don't ever be sad you look pretty with a smile on your face." She took my face and kissed my cheek.

"That's it! You are getting too sweet for me, come let's fill you with more sweetness, let's see if we can live on the wild side and dive ourselves in some ice cream goodness..."

She was giggling when I pick her up in my arms, she was wearing her cute purple Rapunzel pajamas when I seated her on the kitchen counter. I pulled out two pints of ice cream that I brought earlier. She was clapping and grinning anxiously, waiting for what's to come.

"Now, let's be naughty and eat it from the container! Do you want chocolate or the purple bubble gum one? Mmm....let me take a wild guess...with your nails, your jammies, your blanket, I'd say you want the chocolate one?" I teased her making her laugh louder.
