Daddy's Love

Carol is being such a brat. I understand she hates shots and all, but who doesn't? She has used more expletives than I have heard in the longest while now. She is just making a face and sitting with Ana, on the backseat. She even snapped at Ana when she tried to cheer her up. Christian is protecting Carol from my wrath it seems.

"Which one would you like to have, girls?"

"I'll have a chocolate!" That's Grey. I stare at him. He grins. He loves ice cream.

"You sweetheart?" I ask Carol.

"I don't want any." She makes a face. I know she likes mint. I'll get her that. I get two chocolates for me and Grey and the flavours for the girls. Everyone looks happy, except Carol. The moment I give her the ice cream she throws it inside the car.

"I'll get her another one." Grey says opening the door.

"No. Get back. "

"But... "
