Yes, daddy

Mr. Carter

                                                                  MR CARTER//DADDIES POV

When Raleigh reached for me and I couldn't hold her, my heart broke a little bit. 

The look on her face could have killed me.

I had seen something happening where she was sitting but I didn't exactly know what was going on. However, I knew it had something to do with the Jock.

I think his names, Mike?

Whatever it doesn't matter all I know is that after he did something she slipped into her headspace. 

From what I've seen she probably slips into her headspace when she gets stressed or when some traumatic memory gets triggered. 

It's like a defense mechanism, it's probably how she deals with things.

The rest of the day all I was doing was worrying about her.

I didn't know where she was, was she in class? did she leave school and go somewhere else? Is she somewhere in school?

Wait, I don't think she left. I mean her stuff's still here, she would have to come back at some point.

I had to put her and Jessica's stuff next to my desk so that it wouldn't be in anyone's way.

Thankfully it's the last period of the day, which is good, but also bad.

It's good because I finally get to take my baby girl home but it's bad because I have no clue where the f**k she is.

I look up at the clock and see that we only have five minutes left. Today has been annoyingly stressful because the girls in my class keep hitting on me and leaving s****l hints. Not to mention the other female teachers.

I've slept with a lot of people since my wife left but I like to separate work from pleasure and I have someone to focus on and love, Raleigh

The last five minutes of the class go slower than slow. 

When the bell finally rings the girl students take forever to leave the classroom, some of them bending over in their short skirts while they pick up their things.

Do their parents know that they do this type of s**t?

After the kids clear the room I see Jessica and Raleigh walking through the door, Jessica holding Raleigh's hand. 

I guess she's still in her headspace. 

"Hey Mr. Carter," Jessica says and Ray waves at me childishly with a big smile on her face. She looks like she wants to run over to me and jump into my arms, but she also knows that she can't

"Hello Jessica," I say and then nod down to Raleigh while she has an annoyed face painted on.

"Sorry that we weren't able to make it back to class" she apologizes while my baby girl just stands there quietly. 

"It's okay, you can grab your things and go but I would like to talk to Raleigh," I say and she slips her hand out of Ray's and grabs her things before walking out the door with one last glance at her. 

"Daddy" Raleigh exclaims happily, the annoyed look she had on her face is now gone. 

"Shh..Not her babygirl. You don't want anyone to hear, right?" I tell her and she nods.

"i be shush" she tells me while holding her pointer finger to her lips and I smile down at her.

"I just have to finish up here but you can wait in one of the desks. I saw you had a coloring book earlier?  If not I have one in my desk" I say and she quickly skips over to me.

"Wha colowing book?" she asks me and I open my desk drawer and pull out a My Little Pony coloring book with some crayons.  

"Here you go" I said and handed it to her. 

She grabs it with her small hands and skips over to a desk.

She sits down and begins to color. 

I get back to work and about 45 minutes later I'm done, I look up to see my babygirl's face planted down on the desk asleep. 

I can't believe I finally found myself a little.

You'd think it would be easy since I have a lot of money, but it's not.

You can't just pick a random little and call it a day.

It doesn't work that way. 

I can imagine having ray for the rest of my life unlike I have with anyone else, even my ex-wife.

Technically wife because she refused to sign the divorce papers and then just left. 

I have a theory it's because she still wants my money and at the time when we were getting married she signed papers that said that if we did get divorced, she wouldn't get any of my money. However, if we're still married she's allowed to spend my money as she pleases.

I'm thinking about getting my lawyer on her ass and the only reason why I haven't yet is because I'm still in love with her. 

Which is stupid because she left me randomly just one day. 

I hear my phone call and pick it up before looking to see who it is.

"Hi honey"' I hear the person say.

Fuck.

It's my mom. 

Don't get me wrong I love my mom a lot but she doesn't know that Olivia left, somehow I managed to keep it from the press.

My mom was never fond of Olivia but she just wants grandbabies.

"Hey momma" I reply, wondering why she's calling.

"Me, your sister, and your dad are coming over for dinner tonight," she tells me getting right to the point and I almost choke on air.

"What?" I ask her.

"You heard me, we're coming over for dinner. We'll be there by 7:30" and with that she hangs up, leaving me no room to argue. 

I sigh and wonder what I'm going to do with my baby girl while they're here. 

I can't really have her at the dinner table if she's still in her headspace so I guess I'll have to put her in her playroom with one of the servants. At least if she's still in her headspace.

If she's not in her headspace I could always let her hang out in the basement and watch TV or something like that.

All I know is that I have to keep her away from my parents, they can't know about her, and in all honesty, I don't want her to even know them.
