“Baby mama” he repeated, and she turned her face away from him.
“You should probably add cheap” she muttered, and he stopped smiling immediately.
“What was…
“You called me cheap back then” she cut him off before facing him again.
Roman’s lips felt glued, he couldn’t say any more word as he stared at her.
No other sound around, just the soothing sound of the falling rain on the umbrella he’s holding.
It was all awkward till Iris came out of where Rosy hid her in.
“Mummy” she called, and that brought them back.
“Iris” she walked to her and carried her.
Roman opened the gate for her, and she went in with him.
“Mrs. Smart?” Liam said when they got to the door. He was already waiting .
“Liam” Rosy smiled immediately just by seeing him.
She felt the urge to drop Iris and go hug him, but she had to hold herself back.
Very soon, she’d be able to embrace him warmly, and when that day comes, she won’t let go of him even after hours.
“Why is she here?” Liam faced Roman who’s currently folding the umbrella.
“It’s about the company, don’t overthink” he replied, and Liam faced Rosy again.
“She’s the kid who almost got kidnapped. Now I have a better view of her, she’s cute” he said, and Iris smiled.
“Thanks for calling me cute”
They eventually went in, and Rosy dropped Iris on the couch since she’s not wet like her, then she stood and started staring at her wet self, wondering what she’d do.
Liam sat beside Iris, and they started talking like they’ve known each other for long
Roman looked at Rosy, and when he saw how uncomfortable she is in the wet clothes and how she kept moving from one foot to another, he smiled lightly.
“I’ll get you something to change into, then I can get your clothes dried” he said, and she looked up.
Their eyes met once before he went upstairs, and she turned to face Liam and Iris.
“How old are you?” Liam asked.
“Five” she replied.
“I’m nine, so…
“I know, i won’t disrespect you, mum told me to respect people who’re even one month older” she interrupted, and he smiled, stroking her curly hair.
“Damn, you’re so cute”
Rosy smiled, biting her lip as she watched her handsome son acting like a big brother already.
Roman returned two minutes later with one of his shirts, colour blue
She handed it to Rosy and directed her to the bathroom so she’d change.
She came back three minutes later, already changed, and as usual, the shirt stopped at her mid-thigh, looking cute.
She took of her flat shoes and is currently putting on one of Roman’s furry slip-ons which is bigger than her too. She’s got small foots.
Roman’s eyes widened the moment she came out, holding the wet clothes in her right hand.
He gave her a thorough look from her foot up to her face, and when their eyes met, he blinked and looked away, then he tried to take the wet clothes from her
“No. I’ll…dry them myself” she held back
“No. I refuse” he replied and took it from her.
“You should have a sit, I’ll be right back” he said and went out of sight.
Rosy sat on another couch, and from there, she stared at the kids who looks as though they’re in another world.
Despite the fact that she’s changed into another clothes, she still couldn’t help but feel chills, so she began shaking slightly, pulling the shirt impossibly down so it’d cover more of her thighs.
Roman was coming downstairs when he saw her that way, and he immediately turned off all the air conditioners in the living room, then he went to the kitchen to make two warm cups of tea which he brought for mother and daughter.
“Thanks” Rosy said before taking it. She needs the warmness right now.
She drank from it instantly, and Roman got his working laptop before returning to sit beside her.
“You still haven’t told me where you got the Intel from” he said.
“Secret” she replied, and he opened the laptop.
“So…Iris isn’t your biological daughter?” He asked, but she was quiet.
“Donovan… Donovan Mendez, the disowned son is your husband” he said.
“Can you stop trying to dig into my private life? It’s useless” she replied, and he nodded.
“I’m sorry, can we talk about the anniversary now?”
“Jeffery didn’t list my duties at the anniversary for me during the handover” she replied.
“I guess he forgot, but you have minor duties to perform. The office assistances will handle the rest” he said.
“So what are the minor duties?”
“You’re in charge of the invitations. Prepare the invitation cards for the CEOs and important people, then you’re to be my date to the party” he replied
“Why should I be your date?” She quickly faced him.
“Jeffery was my date throughout the seven anniversary he celebrated in the company, and I didn’t mind the fact that he was a man like me cos I don’t like women, but now that you’re here, you’re entitled to it” he explained.
“You hate women” she replied.
“You’re my baby mama after all” he said, and she scoffed.
“Stop calling me that”
“But you are” he replied, and she went mute .
“That’s all about the anniversary, do you mind eating? I’ll tell the maids to fix something” he said.
“I’m full” she replied, and he rested back on the couch.
“The clothes should be dried by now. It’s getting late I should leave” she said.
“But it’s still raining” he retorted.
“The rain stopped already” she replied, and she went to check. It truly stopped already.
He reluctantly went upstairs to get her dried clothes, and she took them.
“Are we leaving already?” Iris asked. She’s currently busy with one of Liam’s phones.
“Yeah, baby” she smiled.
“But I’m enjoying the game already” Iris pouted.
“You can go with the phone, I have two others” Liam said.
“Really?” Iris’s eyes widened.
“Yeah, consider it my first gift to you” he replied, and she hugged him.
Rosy got changed, then she returned the blue shirt to Roman and carried Iris.
“I’ll drop you” he said.
“No you…
“You can’t reject, there’s no way you’d get taxi in this estate on a rainy night like this” he said, and she relented.
“Bye Liam” she waved at him.
“See you soon Mrs. Smart” he replied, and she kept looking back at him till she was out of the house.
Roman drove them to her place, and they arrived after forty minutes.
As expected, Iris was already sleeping, so she carried her out of the car, and Roman came out too.
“Here” he placed a patch in her purse.
“It’s better than the one on your forehead. It matches with the skin color” he said.
“Thanks” she said freely and started going in.
Roman watched her without blinking, and he couldn’t help but have another flashback of that night.
“Please I have nowhere else to go, have mercy on me!!” Her pleading voice resounded in his head when she was begging him to take the baby.
He felt f**king bad immediately, and he was unaware of when he called her name.
“Rosy”
She turned back by the door, questioning him with her eyes.
“Take care…of your forehead” he said awkwardly, and she went in without saying a word.
He drove away with guilt.

“Oh, my gosh! Don!” Asia’s screams were tearing through the walls of the house when Rosy came in, but it’s not new.
She ignored the moans and put Iris to bed, then she remembered Liam’s face and smiled.
The ringing of her phone made her get her purse.
She brought it out and saw Ann on the ID.
The phone screen is a mess cos of how it fell at Roman’s office the other time, but she’s planning to buy another once she gets her first salary.
“Hey neighbor” she picked Ann’s call.
“To the balcony” Ann replied, and she hung up, leaving the apartment.
She went to the balcony and met Ann there. She’s sitting in front of a stool with two bottles of beer.
“Let’s drink away our sorrows” she said, and Rosy joined her. They do this a lot though.
Ann poured their cups and they drank at once.
“Donovan is fking the bch again, I guess” Ann said.
“I don’t wanna talk about it” Rosy replied.
“Cheers!” Ann poured another cup, and Rosy smiled before clinking hers on it.
“Cheers”
