No Regrets

Chapter 24~ Aim x Shoot

"Why would you disappear like that? You know what we do, we thought somebody-," he yelled, but he stopped when he looked at something.

"Princess, where are you," he called. Who is 'Princess.'

"Princess," he called again.

Maria came running out of the room, "Marcel," she yelled at jumped into his arms.

"How you doing, Princess? You missed me," he asked her.

"Yes. Can we go get some ice cream," she asked.

"Anything for you, Princess," he said, with a smile.

I wasn't aware that he called hr Princess, or that they had a bond like this. He has played with her at the Park, he has took her out for ice cream, and took her trick or treating with me. Now, I'm thinking back to the times we was with him.

While I was in my thoughts, they started a conversation about God knows what.

"Come on mamas, you gotta put your shoes on," I told her.

"Okay," she said with a smile.

We both went into my room and put on our shoes. While we were in the room, I heard a knock on the door, followed by the voices of Zayvion and his siblings.

After we put on our shoes, we walked into the living room, "Hey guys," I greeted.

"Hey," they all replied.

"Bestieeee," Zay dragged out.

"Wassup," I asked.

"You wanna go to the mall with me tomorrow," he asked.

"I wanna come too," his 13 year old sister, Mari said.

"Y'all can come. It'll give us the chance to catch up," I said.

"Yay," his siblings and Maria cheered.

"We about to go," I told them.

"Okay. Can y'all drop me off at work," Zayvion asked.

"Yeah, that's cool," Marcel responded.

His siblings went back to their hotel rooms, and we left. The whole ride me and Zay were talking, and Maria was getting to know him. Once we dropped Zay off, we headed to get some ice cream.

Once we got to the parlor, I grabbed one of Maria's hands, and Marcel grabbed the other.

"Welcome, how may I help you," the server said, only looking at Marcel.

Seeeeeeeeeeeee, its females like her that get me. But its what he did next that warmed my heart.

He didn't even pay attention to the server. He just picked Maria up to show her the flavors, "Which one do you want, Princess," he asked her.

"Can I get two," she asked.

"Ask your momma," he looked at me and chuckled.

"No, only one," I said.

She started pouting, so he jumped in, "How about you get one now, and then another one before we go," he told her.

"Okay," she said excitedly.

"I waaannntttt......... cookies and cream," she told him.

The server just stood there still staring at him, so he snapped his fingers in front of her face and told her, "My Princess wants cookies and cream."

She rolled her eyes and fixed her ice cream, and gave her some napkins. He walked over and sat her down in the booth, I was about to sit down but he grabbed my arm, and took me back to the station.

"Now that we have the Princess situated, what does the Queen want," he asked me, with his arms around my waist.

I turned to face him, "You're not mad at me," I asked him.

"Its forgiven but its not forgotten. You will tell me why you staying at the hotel after he go to sleep," he said.

"Okay," I said.

"Now, Queen, what do you want," he asked again.

"I want.....Vanilla," I said, "Now, what does the King want," I asked mocking him.

"Chocolate," he responded. He called for the server, and told her our orders and he paid.

We talked, took pictures, and laughed the whole time. Him bonding with Maria was uplifting for me. We stayed for about 2 hours, and then decided head back to the hotel.

Now, I got to put her to bed, and talk to him. I thought about lying, and saying that nothing happened. But what's the purpose.

I took her a Maria a bat, read her a book, and she went to sleep.

I walked into the living room.
