Mistaken Identity novel Chapter 10

After that embarrassing moment with Mr. Carter, I fed Grey and I put Henrique to sleep. After doing those things stayed in my room. I need not get myself into another awkward situation with the green eyed Devil. The more I stay in my room, the less I see him.

After taking a bath I made my way to Henrique's room where he was playing with some stuff animals in the paly pen. When he realize my presence, he smiles. I slightly bend to retrive him from the ground.

"Well aren't you lonely?" I couldn't beleive they left him by himself. I know it's my job to take care of him but I just arrived. They should at least let me get use to the thought of taking care of a child.

I put him on my side and we made our way down the stairs. Dinner will be served in a couple of minutes and I needed to be early. Ms. Wilson didn't like me already , imagine when she sees me coming in the room late. 

I entered the dining room to see Mr. Carter was already there. I looked at the long dining table that was made for a big family. I didn't know where to sit, it is so huge. I spot Henrique baby seat close to Carter so I made my way over there. After placing him in the seat, I took a seat next to him. Ms. Wilson came out of the kitchen with a tray. She place the tray on the table and start aligning the plates. Afterwhich she place the plates in front of Carter, then Henrique then me. I knew the woman didn't like me, from the cold glares she send me. God! What did I do to deserves being hated by two persons I'm currently living with.

She placed a salad dish in front us. About ten minutes later when we were almost finish  she came back with the main course, Chicken and rice. It was simple, something that I'd cook for myself if I was at home. But I'd never imagine a rich man eating normal people food. To be honest I taught we'd be eating roast fish with Lasagnas. I guess I was wrong. Ms. Wilson left a second time but this time she didn't come back. I saw Carter and the baby eating so I began eating too. I heard a loud growl. I looked him to see my dog beside another dog. The dog is light brown, a little lighter than Grey. She is beautiful. Beside her is Grey.

   "Oh my god, Grey you made a friend already. Come here." My dog got up and the fluffy brown dog followed him. They stopped in front of me.

"So who's your friend?" I asked my dog. He started to lick my toes. It was ticklish so I let out a laugh. "Stop it, Grey." I giggled and he stopped when he heard the female dog growl. "She's your girlfriend. Ha, my baby has a girlfriend. What's her name?"

"Cloudy," I heard a deep voice said. I immediately know who it was. I didn't take my eyes off my dog. Grey got up from beside me and him and Cloudy disappeared behind the wall.

"Use Protection," I blurt out before I could stop myself. I heard someone coughing. I looked up to see a set of green eyes on me. I bent my head and blushed.  I blushed. I used to tell my sister that line, every time she went on a date and trust me that was regular.

I heard a knock and I looked in the direction it came from. I saw Henrique with the spoon knock on the baby seat. His face was full of food more like his face was eating the food and not his mouth. I laugh and take up then napkin I brought down for him and wipe his face. His plate was a plate dish so was his spoon. His area was a complete mess. I sigh.

I returned back to my half eaten food. I heard a chair move and I look up to see Carter leaving the table. He looked him and he caught my gaze for a second but I quickly looked down. What's happening to me? I'm not afraid of looking at a man, in fact I hate them all except, Carlos, Grey, Henrique. Those were the only men in my life, if you consider my dog a man. I stay away from men ever since what happened and I won't take the risk again. I rather stay by myself and have a dog that will never leave or betray me. But wait. Grey has a girlfriend now, ha, he won't leave me. He loves me and I love him. We've always being together. Inseparable.

After Henrique and I finish eating. We went up to his room and  I gave him a bath. After about six fail attempts of putting on a pampers, I succeed. By the time he was clothed, his eyes were slowly falling so I took him in my arms and rock him until he drifted to sleep. 

I smile and place him in his crib. Taking care of a baby is not that bad after all. 

Henrique  is sweet and adorable. The question that lingers in my head though is Why? Why did sister leaven this beautiful baby? Has she gotten worse instead of better for the past years in the modeling industry? Why would she abandon her eighteen months old child? 

I went to bed with those question still lingering in my head. Why? Why my dear sister? Why?
