Enough For Him

” Thank you lizzy, I love you. Will you sign it for me I’m such a fan” Leon joked. Thank you Leon said his hand finding mine. I bent down and kissed him on the lips as everyone clapped.

Some cheered.

We all carried on eating after, Leon was spending too much time sneaking a read every so often in the book.

” Princess, can I have this dance?” I looked up and noticed my father standing in his dark navy suit, his hand stretched out for me.

I joined him in the middle of the room as the lights dimmed and our father, daughter song came on.

” I’ve been waiting too long to finally hand you over to your husband” I grinned up at him ” cant wait to get ride of me huh” he pinched my arm.

” you know that’s not the truth. I was so adamant on not letting Leon be the man but I know that this is love, you two belong together” I waited for this moment for years. His blessing even though I know that I don’t really need my fathers blessing but I wanted it.

“thanks dad, I have never wanted anyone other than Leon for my whole life” I admitted to him.

He twirled me around. ” I know that princess” he said finally pulling me closer for a hug. “I know”

” just in time son” Dad said as he pulled out of the embrace and Leon’s hand fitted around my waist.

They hugged before separating and dad soon left the floor.

” how many secrets did you reveal about me in your book” was the first thing that he said when he wrapped me in his arms.

I tilted my head back, laughing.

I stood back bringing my fingers pretending to count them on my fingers. He grabbed my waist pulling me in ” you little”

I shut him up by pressing my finger to his lips.

” Leave you filthy words for later honey” I said placing my hands around his neck.

” I love you ”

Gone with the joking he meant that. This came from his heart.

” I’ve always loved you Leon, I don’t think its possible for me to stop loving you” I said speaking from my heart.

Leon’s eyes seemed to darken and grow stronger with passion. He looked around nervously. ” when do you think we can escpae everyone and finally get to our room” I hit him in the chest as people grinned seeing his little show.

The nerve of this man.

There is never a dull moment with Leon and I don’t think I would have it any other way. I used to think that i was never enough for Leon but now i know that i am the one for Leon, i am enough for him. And i couldnt be more happier and content knowing that.

6 years later

” Dad Is going to be pissed”

“Jay watch your language,” I scolded Jayson hearing Him moan in the next room to his sister and cousins. I was sat in the kitchen in front of Francesca My youngest daughter feeding her.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She sealed her lips shut as my spoon went to her lips. I sighed, don’t make this hard on mommy.

6 years we’ve been married now, and we now have a pretty big family with us having two girls and my brother having twin boys it’s very hard to catch a break.

Jayson was the eldest of them all and he was everything I expected for a son of Leon. Speaking of my husband he is currently driving back from the airport after staying a week in Germany for some business event.

He told me the specific details, but I think I was busy changing Francesca’s nappy to remember.

My heart breaks for Jayson since he’s the only boy and no surprise that Leon loves his two princesses. Jayson has learnt to develop some thick skin.

One night I found Jayson crying in his room and I can safely say it broke my heart. He made me promise not to tell Leon ashamed to be caught crying.

Let’s just say I got mad at Leon for making his only son feel that way. The only valuable lesson that Jayson has learnt is that getting his father in trouble is much easier to do.

I slowly picked up Fran and walked into the living room to find them all gathered around the pizza in the living room that I ordered.

” your dad will not be pissed,” I said to him, rubbing his hair between my fingers.

He stared at me almost like I was crazy. I honestly couldn’t wait to have him home, taking care of 3 kids is a fulltime job and I don’t know how much longer I can stay awake.

“Okay, boys let’s get home before Leon beats this boys ass,” Kaleb said holding both their backpacks in his hands.

Kaleb bent down and kissed Fran on the cheek, she smiled up at her uncle Kaleb.

” hey” Jayson exclaimed annoyed.

I followed the boys out and saw them off. I managed to get Fran to sit down with her sisters and read a book together hopefully then she will get tired and go to bed early.

I sat down next to Jayson and picked up his report card. He was good in a lot of his subjects, excelling in sports and Art. From an early age, we started to realise that Jay was particularly good at Art and design and he enjoyed it.

Maths was where he struggled as it showed in his tests.

” if you just let your dad tutor you” Jayson shook his head almost harshly.” He will realise how stupid I am, I don’t need that from him” I had tried so many times to convince Jay to let Leon teach him but it’s just not going to happen.

“Look Jay, I know your father can be demanding but he is a really good teacher, I would have failed maths if it wasn’t for him trust me. I’ll speak to him and make sure he goes easy on you” not like I haven’t done that already.

There is a lot of pressure on Jay to do well and set an example for his sister’s, but I don’t want to over work him, that’s the last thing I want.

He stayed silent, his lips rolling into his mouth, I hope that this was a sign that he was thinking about it.

“Mom Fran is crying again” I rubbed Jay’s arm and stood up heading over to my sweet girl. Her eyes were filled with tears just waiting to fall. “What’s wrong princess” I said to her lifting her up in my arms. She pressed her face into my neck.

“I’m going to give her a bath, Jay watch your sister” I called. I heard the faint sound of them both moaning. The Scarlett don’t like to be babysat by their big brother and Jay hates it equally.

I filled the bath up a little bit and stripped out of my clothes and removed Fran from her onesie that Jess had gifted her for her 1st birthday.

I started with her hair; I rubbed some baby shampoo all in her hair giving her a little message. Unlike my other kids Fran loved bath time. She never complained, never cried and normally we spent over an hour together. I feel like it was our bonding time.

When Leon gives her a bath, it’s a completely different story.
