Isabella

Chapter four

Isabella

Like that man needs to spend any more time in the gym. How much bigger can he get? I have never seen such broad shoulders stacked with muscles, but something is soothing about exercise for him.

Not that I would know.

Barely an hour later I'm-dancing and singing with Loreal as she gulps down another bottle when a sweaty Antonio peeks his head in the door,

"Hey, I am back." He says smiling at me and I smiled back, enjoying the way he has loosened up around me.

"Hey, how was the gym?" Pretending not to see his wet shirt clinging to his obvious six-packs and the little plaster on his forehead.

Well, a lot happened on the road I had a little collision with another car, thank goodness I am safe and the paramedics were on time to attend to me.

I only sustained a minor injury.

And your car? I asked.

Well, it went bad, Ethan was there on time tho but everything is settled now.

"I'm gonna shower quickly you are ok for a few more minutes?" He asks pointing to Loreal and I nod.

"Yep, wouldn't want the first memories of your daughter about you to be of how bad you f*****g smell. I say crinkling my nose as I tease him. He chuckles and went upstairs and I force my brain not to think about the water dripping down his chest. A quick look at his wedding pictures might help to quench that fire.

"I need to get laid, I said to myself."

A few minutes later he comes down stares, with his hair dripping with water and a fresh rainforest smell wafting off him. My mouth waters at it and it's confirmed.

"That I need to get laid.

He scooped out Loreal from my arm, and I ignored the buzzing of my body when he is close to me.

"How was she." He asked smiling at his daughter adoringly.

"A perfectly well-behaved young lady," I responded in a prim and proper tone.

Thanks again I appreciate this, he says following me to the living room.

"It was a blast."Let me know the next time you need a gym fix. I say picking up my stuff and heading towards the door. I turned around and it looks like he seems sad to see me go. I am a little sad myself since all that's waiting for me is an empty house, three loads of laundry, half a sleeve of Oreos, and a Crime documentary to watch.

"Bye, sweet girl," I say and quietly pressing a little kiss on her forehead.

"See ya," I tell her dad while waving goodbye as I left.

I head home to finish my laundry and lay on my couch because that's what days off are for. A few hours later I got a beep on my phone, it was a message from Antonio a picture of Loreal in a little ballerina dress onesie with a pink frilly tutu. I smiled at the picture like an i***t.

"SHE LOOKS CUTE THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE."

"You were right. She is adorable, Total look screen on my phone material.

Good idea I will try to figure out that too. I laughed at his cluelessness.

Smoosh her little cheeks for me.

Of cause.

He answered and I left the message there.

The next day, I felt bored and thought I should just go shopping and pick up some things for the house, I also went to the costume aisle, to pick what I would wear for Halloween and what I would love to look like on that day, I searched and came across some baby Halloween outfit and it looked so good.

"Hey!"I got a Halloween costume for Loreal I hope you don't mind. I texted

Sure, but don't go around spoiling my girl.

He responded and I smile.

"When should I stop by?"

Whenever you want, I will be there in twenty.

I pulled up in front of him and my nerves flip, hoping I didn't step out of line I knocked and he answered the door with his signature outfit a black t-shirt and grey sweatpants.

No offense Antonio, but it's two in the afternoon on a Monday don't you work? He responds with a chuckle and walked towards the parlor and said.

"Well, I own a multi-million company I can be at work any time I work.

"I am Antonio Martino the owner of "Jp Morgan Chase Ltd"

"My jaw dropped in surprise, he is a billionaire "What was I thinking?

Trying to hide my shock, I asked.

"What are you doing now, just doing some paper works, my best friend would be here soon to get them he has been of great help in the company.

"I just walk from home this day, reason because of my daughter.

"I have been wanting to ask, what about her grandparents or even your mom?"

He responded, well they have been of great help when she was born during the first month but I don't want to bother anyone with her, even though my mom said she isn't.

I just want to take care of my princess myself. Oh, I see, I responded.

"The doorbell rang, and he stood up to attend to it."

"Hey man, thanks for coming.

How have you been, and loreal? She is doing great welcome in.

"Look who we have here, "Hey beautiful.

Hi, I am Ethan Chris I brought forth my hand for a handshake, I am Isabella and we shook hands.

I guess this is his best friend, And Antonio responded that's my best friend I could have done this introduction myself but he did it by himself, he chuckled.

"We quickly did all the paperwork, and had a little chat about the office. After that, he diverted to ask questions about Isabella.

"How did you guys meet, I mean you never spoke to me about her even on the phone, Ethan said. Well, that's because we met recently but she's just a friend who is helping me out in taking care of Loreal, she has been of great help I must say.

"Ok, I should take my leave now I have a lot to do at the office and I would also keep you in touch about the business meeting held tomorrow.

Ethan went downstairs and bid everyone bye he gave Loreal a peck on the cheek, stared at me a bit then left.
