"Xander! I'm done!" Ella shouted from the toilet, I walked and opened the door to see her washing her hands "Alright, come let me dry your hands" I said holding up a towel, she came and opened her hands for me to dry "There we go" I said kissing both her hands
I closed the toilet door and walked back to my desk with Ella behind me "Here come to sit" I said patting my lap, she came and sat and hugged me tightly with her arms around my neck "I'm sorry again" she whispered
"Princess, it's okay," I said hugging her back my phone screen lit up and saw Adriel calling me, I picked up
"Yea?"
"Where the fuck is Ella! I left her in my office and she's not here!" he shouted
"Can you stop shouting, she's with me, millie found her wandering around"
"Fucking hell, I'm coming" he muttered and shut the phone
"Is he angry?" Ella whispered with tears in her eyes, I sighed "Just a little mad but he's not mad at you, he's mad at himself" I assured her, she just nodded slightly
"Oh my god, Ella you scared me," Adriel said barging into my office and grabbing Ella out of my hold and hugging her
"I'm sorry" she whispered again "Hey, love it's okay, I just got scared," he said kissing her head and placing her back down on my lap "I've got a meeting in 5, stay here with her," Adriel said looking at me and quickly rushing out of the room

"Xavier!" I turned and saw Rose running up to me, I opened my arms and pulled her into a tight hug "I missed you babe" I said kissing her lips
"Fuck it's been so long," she whispered smiling
Rose and I had been dating for the past 2 years. she was the new girl in school. would you consider 10 months new?
We started making our way to the beach since we and a couple of close friends made plans for today to come to the beach.
"Who did you come with?" I asked Rose while holding her hand "Nora, but she said tonight she and Luca were going to go out or something like that, so maybe you could drop me off home?" she said
"Yea, don't worry I will," I said rubbing my thumb over her knuckles "How's Aidan doing?" I asked her
Aidan was Rose's 7-year-old brother who was currently in the hospital sick. He had the flu a couple of weeks back but then it got worse after a couple of days and one morning their mum woke up to Aidan barely breathing. They had taken him to the hospital but nothing was found.
