He ran his finger down my forehead and over the bridge of my nose, followed by his lips as he kissed me.
“No.” I attempted to roll away, but he pulled me back and pinned me to the bed.
“Wake up. My little Ninja.” He kissed my cheeks and then my lips. “It’s time to go.”
I blinked my eyes and found him smiling down at me. He was fully dressed in a pair of black joggers and a thin white sweatshirt. Active wear on most men made them look sloppy, but on Kyler, they made him look clean cut and approachable.
I sat up. He had laid out clothes for me. Kyler pulled the covers away and reached for me. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I didn’t feel much of anything. Not sad, but not anxious, more like numb.
“Go to the potty and brush your teeth.” He kissed the side of my face. “I’ll come in and help you with your hair and get you dressed.”
“What time does the plane leave?” I crawled out of bed.
“Well, considering it’s my plane, it won’t leave without you.” Kyler chuckled and left the room.
No chance of me distracting him and missing my flight. I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Kyler joined me as I washed my face. I sat down at the vanity. He carefully brushed out my hair and pulled it up into a ponytail and braided it before wrapping it around the ponytail. He smoothed down the sides like he watched me do before.
“What do you think?” He smiled at me through the mirror.
“You are getting good.” I touched the bun and smiled back at him. I let Kyler do things for me this morning. But little Rayna was nowhere to be seen. I was as far from little space as I had ever been. He continued to be my Daddy like he promised. He took my hand and guided me back into the bedroom and dressed me.
First in a pair of white cotton panties and a hunter green lounge skirt and matching jacket. I put a white t-shirt with Naratu leaping across the side of the shirt with numb chucks in his hand. With the jacket sipped, you couldn’t see the graphic t-shirt. He finished my outfit off with white and hunger green striped socks and a new pair of glittery green Converse.
“There’re so pretty.” I admired the shoes.
“I thought you’d like them.” He held out his hand. “Come on. They will serve breakfast on the plane unless you’d like to get something before you go.”
We stepped into the hallway
“Where is my suitcase?” I looked around.
“Patrick already took it to the plane.”
My purse sat near the door.
“Your phone is in there, all charged up.” He opened the door. “Eddie set it back to normal.”
“Ok. Thank him for me.” I bit my lip.
We walked to the elevator hand in hand. The elevator door opened, but it wasn’t empty.
“Hey.” Chandler was inside. “I thought I might have missed you.” Chandler handed me a shopping bag.
I narrowed my eyes and looked up at Kyler.
He nodded.
“Thank you.” I took the handle of the bag. “What is it for?”
“A going away present and a last year of school present.” He grinned, pleased with himself. “I hope you like it. If not, just take it to the store on Fifth Avenue and they will exchange it for anything you want.
On Fifth Avenue, in the city. “Okay.” I peeked into the bag, but whatever he had bought me was in a box. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Chandler stepped back into the elevator and we joined him.
Kyler held my hand tight as the elevator descended. I had so many questions. Was he putting me in a car or driving me to the airport himself? How much time did we have together? Why would Chandler be giving me a present? Kyler didn’t give me any presents besides clothes and a jeweled butt plug, but he probably kept those things.Maybe for his next little girl.
I squeezed my eyes shut.I’m not going to cry.
