They both straightened up as the waiters brought out the food to set in front of us. My fork was in hand as Marcus said "Shouldn't we men eat before the woman Stella." God, I hated that rule he had. He always had to have the first bite and I couldn't eat until he said. He always waited until the food was cold and I was starving for the food. I hate him.

On instinct, I put my spoon down which made Marcus smile. Grr, Ada and Hannah are eating so why can't I. I grabbed the bridge of my nose to calm my mind. He shouldn't control me anymore, I shouldn't let him control me either. I am not even hungry anymore making me push my plate away and sit back. Marcus was smiling up a storm making me roll my eyes.

I could feel Cole staring bullets in me as I sat there doing nothing. After a minute Lucia finally said, "Stella you are free to eat."

"I am not hungry" I mumbled as started to play with my hair.

"Let her waste the food she isn't good enough to eat here anyway."

I scuffed "O shut up last time I check you lived off daddies money and now Coles, Aunt Hannah." I am moody without food and I am straight up annoyed at this point. All she does is give me attitude and I am sick of it already. She scuffed as I took another sip of my drink and sighed.

Cole was typing on his phone and soon gave it to me to see he wrote eat or I will feed your myself princess. I gave him the phone back and brought the food back to me to eat the now cold food. It tastes gross cold so my bites were small, to say the least, and honestly, it wasn't that good. I wish he would have got me oatmeal or something not whatever this is.

Cole growled after a minute and lean down to whisper "Keep testing my patience Stella I dare you."

I looked at him to peck his lips and whisper "The food is cold and honestly it is not that good daddy. I would rather have oatmeal or something soft. When I am anxious or stressed my tummy gets upset."

"Then I will..."

"No, it is fine let's just eat" I mumbled as I pecked his lips before going back to playing with my food. Honestly, the food is too sweet for my taste. I am not a picky woman but when I am upset my stomach gets sensitive. Marcus makes me very upset and nervous which is not good for my stomach.

Cole left after I went back to eating as Chase said "Tell me Marcus what do you think gives you the right to try and tell Stella what to do?"

"I didn't tell her anything I..."

Chase sat his fork down to look at him and said "Don't play word games with me boy."

Marcus growled but said nothing as the table went silent. Well, this is uncomfortable I thought as I pushed my plate away again. The minute I did Cole came back inside with a bowl in hand. He sat it in front of me making me see oatmeal. It looks like the best oatmeal I have ever seen.

Cole sat down as I looked at him and said "I told you I was fine love." Cole looked at me and caressed my cheek with love. He kissed my lips before he sat back and said "I know I just don't care because you need to eat princess now eat."

A soft giggle escaped my lips as I grabbed the spoon he handed me to take a bite on my food. A quiet and soft moan escaped my lips from how amazing this oatmeal tasted. I didn't think anyone heard me but a second later Cole had his large hand resting on my upper thigh. A deep blush hit my face as he started to caress my inner thigh and hummed.

His mom gave us the be good kids look making me giggle and nudge him. She muttered of course under her breath making us all laugh well the real family. After we finish Hannah said, "You spoil her, you should have made her eat the food you picked for her."
