Chapter 88 – Is Daddy Coming? (Anj‘s POV) Earthquake!

The bed was shaking, moving up and down, and I could hear my three girls screaming and something whining. My eyes opened wide, and when I gazed at the unfamiliar ceiling, my heart panicked and thumped inside my chest. Fear that my children were in danger made me get up immediately, but perhaps I fought with gravity so much that my blood seemed to pool in the lower part of my body, making me feel dizzy. “Argh!” A short and hushed groan escaped my mouth as my hands held my head, throbbing in pain. I blinked, almost brushing off the little thing sitting on my lap because I was startled and had forgotten that my kids have a puppy. Nitro yawned and whined. “I know,” I almost

growled and turned my head, seeing the cause of the earthquake in the bed.

“Mommy! Mommy, you’re finally awake!” Leyanne beamed, already panting from jumping as if she was on a trampoline.

I had to squint to see the girls better. “Girls, stop. You might hurt yourself.” I opened my arms, and they all stopped jumping and ran to my arms. Little bodies warmth me. “Happy birthday!” I kissed the top of their heads. “Don‘t grow up so fast, please,” I said, kissing them again, and my brimming tears rolled down my cheeks as I planted another kiss.

“Mommy,” Lyra Helene met my gaze and pouted. “Is Daddy coming today? He promised he would come.” My eyebrows knitted as I racked my haywire brain, thinking Sky came last night.

Leyanne escaped my embrace and ran to the table to get my cellphone. “Let‘s call Daddy, Mommy,” she said, giving the gadget to me. My finger slid the screen and showed it to them. “Sorry, no signal.” When three heads lowered their eyes, I wanted to curse Sky again.

“What‘s his excuse this time, Mommy?” Selene asked.

I shrugged and pursed my lips as I hugged my girls. “Can‘t Mommy be enough for today?” My voice was shaking, trying to fight the tears and stopping myself from cursing their father.

“But he promised,” Lyra Helene muttered, her eyelashes now wet with tears. I swallowed hard, breathing in and out before I got the courage to speak again and forced my lips to curve a hopeful smile.

“There‘s a satellite phone here, Uncle Finn said. Maybe we can use that later to call Daddy,” I said, and when three pairs of eyes sparkled with hope, they finally smiled at me. “How about you bring Nitro outside.”

Leyanne jumped out of bed. “I‘ll carry Nitro,” she said, causing her sisters to groan and follow her, all grumbling as they went out of the bedroom.

I leaned on the bed‘s headrest and heaved a deep sigh before climbing down, only to be startled by Anya standing by the doorway of the closet room. “Explain this in one word.” She showed the empty bottle of Vodka.

A small sigh escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes. I was too drunk last night that I imagined Sky coming and kissing me. I lifted my hand to my lips, trailing my mouth with my fingers while thinking it seemed real.

“Anxious? Stress? Pressured? Choose, Anya,” I said, standing up. “Why does it matter to you? Just one word.”

“Selfish!” She muttered, lifting the corners of her mouth. “You should tell me that you‘ll be drinking. I should have joined you.” “Yeah, right,” I smiled, walking toward the closet room. “I need to shower.” “About that,” she walked with me and sat on the chair. “Can I borrow this one?” She lifted the black two– piece strappy bikini. “Please...” Her puppy eyes made me laugh. “Y–Yeah!” I stuttered, but I managed to chuckle. “Why would I wear that?”

Her eyes widened at me. “Because we‘re on the most beautiful island with no name, and...” She picked up another two–piece suit and gave it to me. “Why am I even explaining to you? Wear this red one.”

I took the swimsuit but placed it back in the shopping bag. I peeked at the other bags and found a comfortable spaghetti strap top and shorts. “Your prince charming provided everything, eh?” She laughed, opening the other bags and giving me the pair of underwear she knew I was looking for.

“He didn‘t come, did he?” I said in a monotone voice as I walked to the bathroom.

Anya followed me and sat on the toilet bowl. “Nope. Not even a shadow of Sky Mars came last night.” She smirked.

Not minding Anya inside, I woke every cell of my body with the cold sprinkle of water and wondered how I managed to finish the whole bottle.

“I bet Dylan pressured you again last night,” she said, standing up and roaming around the bathroom, picking up every bottle she saw and sniffing the scent.

“Yeah, and I told him to give me time to think.” I felt Anya stop for a brief second before touching another bottle. “Good for you,” she said. “You‘ll make him really happy, Anj.”

I smirked at her. “You‘re glad I‘ll make him happy, but you‘re not concerned about my feelings? Don‘t you think that‘s somewhat unfair?” I turned to her. “Give me that one.”

She turned to me to give me the soap. “You like him. You used to tell me you have a crush on him, so I‘m not pushing anyone here, Anj.” I scoffed. “I was thirteen. Can‘t thirteen years old have a huge crush on Mr. Handsome–Smart Almost Perfect guy?”

Daddy Coma?

She only smiled at me, turning her back and making herself busy as she opened drawers. “What are you doing?” I asked while lathering my body with soap. “Nothing,” She chuckled. “Looking for Sky. Maybe he‘s hiding here because when you asked me if he didn‘t come, it seemed he did.” “So, you think Sky‘s hiding in the drawer?” I hissed, shaking my head. She laughed at me. “What will you tell the kids if Sky didn‘t come today?” I craned my neck to the shower head, ignoring Anya for a few minutes because my big brain didn‘t know the answer. Even when I was done showering, I still didn‘t answer. I sat on the dresser and looked at the mirror.

Sky seemed real last night. “This is unfair,” I mumbled as I looked at my eyes, reading the sadness and emptiness, causing Anya to raise her eyebrows as she dried my hair. “Which one? That he‘s not coming? You giving Dylan a chance?” She asked. “I miss Sky,” I whispered as I placed my hand in my chest, feeling my thumping heart. “Anya, missing him doesn‘t mean I love him, right?” Let the answer be yes... Although she didn‘t speak, I think I got her answer.
