Daddy's Love

Jay is super annoyed and trying not to show it. We went for swimming the four of us, to cheer up the girls after last night. We met Timothy there - the guy who kissed me. And we happened to know that he was the one the other day, to whom Carol was showing off her swimming stunts.

Needless to say, Jay is annoyed. Timothy is charming. Really charming. All smiles and very smooth when he talks. His little, Alisha too.

Jay is snapping ever since he has woken up. All three of us are enjoying teasing him a bit. I mean come on; he has to know. I love him. The girls love him. Timothy can be as charming as he likes to be, he maybe perfect, but we love each other. We love Jay. With all his quirks like he loves us. Timothy and Alisha mean nothing to us. At all.

We are at the breakfast table eating when Carol starts teasing Jay, again.

"Daddy, can we go swimming again tonight? Tim promised to teach me butterfly stroke." Carol asks me, her eyes dancing in mischief.

Jay stops eating and looks up but Carol is not easily intimidated. Ana sits back, mostly a silent participant.

"Umm... Yes. We will go. I can't wait to see him shirtless again." I wink at Carol.

"I won't go. I will go where dadda goes." Ana jumps up and half hugs Jay from her high chair.

Jay glares at us while he kisses Ana on her head.

Later in the evening we are all sitting in the living room after dinner, watching Harry Potter.

"Daddyyyy, when are we going swimming????" Carol whines.

"Right now, babe. You guys coming?"
