"Lia!!!, finish your fries," Giselle shouted .
Lia returned from washing her hands and had a glass of water . She replied, "Mom, they're fries . I can snack on them while I talk to dad . Now, go have your dinner while I'm chatting . "
Lia grabbed Giselle's phone and went to her room . She made sure to close the door . Looking at her, Giselle felt like the father and daughter seemed to hide something from her .
Soon later, Giselle finished her dinner, cleaned the dishes and even got ready to go to bed .
But Lia never came out of her room .
"Lia?" Giselle knocked on . Only after a few seconds later, Lia answered her mother . She gave back the mobile phone to Giselle .
"Did you talk to your father?" Giselle questioned .
"Yeah, mom . we were talking about school . He didn't know about my friends, right!!! I was telling dad about my school adventure before joining . Remember?" Lia replied .
"Oh, that one . Yeah, I remember . For a minute I thought you guys were planning something suspicious . Now, it's already late . Go to sleep . " Giselle put Lia on the bed and kissed her goodnight .
Giselle returned back to her room . She received a text, it was from Ethan . She opened it up to read .
Ethan Ruz - 10:04 PM
Lia made friends already . I'm proud of her . She's like me in that category . Giselle, YOU better be strong and face your challenge . It's all just starting trouble . Once you settle in, I know you'll be the best version of yourself . Anyways, expecting good news from your work . Also, if somebody's disturbing you, you give them my number . No one dares to touch my friend . Alright, I'm dozing off . Bye . And, Good Luck to you . Love you girls . Sending you my Love . Make sure to thank me later .
Giselle giggled while reading Ethan's message . He knew how to change the mood instantly . As she was about to lie down to sleep . She heard a knock outside her room . It must be Lia . Before Giselle woke up to see Lia, the little girl requested,
"Mom, Can I come in?"
"Ah, sure baby . Come in, what's wrong?"
Lia entered Giselle's room slowly . However, she stopped right at the door . Giselle looked puzzled .
"I want you to want me . . . "
"I need you to need me . . . "
"I'd love you to love me . . . "
"I'm beggin' you to beg me . . . "
"I'll shine up my old brown shoes,
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me . " Lia sang .
. . .
"Feelin' all alone without a friend
you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
See you cryin' .
I want you to want me .
I need you to need me .
I'd love you to love me .
I'm beggin' you to beg me . "
Lia sang Giselle's favorite song . Her cute little performance surprised Giselle and even made her emotional . Lia's performance started slowly from the door and then reached the place where Giselle was sitting up . At the end of her performance, Lia hugged her mother and gave a little peck on her cheeks .
That night Lia slept with her mother . Being under the embrace of her daughter, Giselle slept peacefully .
Next Morning - Time - 8:00 AM
Lia got dressed up for school and waited for her mother . Giselle came out of her room .
"By the way Lia, how did you know about the song?" Giselle asked .
"Father taught me . He told me that it's your favorite song and that you get really happy whenever you listen to it . He also told me when to use this secret weapon . " Lia winked at her mother .
Giselle's eyes twitched . She knew that song is one of her happiness as well as her weakness . It can't be helped . Giselle planned to fight back .
"Don't worry . That song WAS my weakness but not anymore . " Giselle declared .
Hearing it Lia's heart broke . "Huh, I was planning on to use it on you for many things mother . " Lia wept .
"We'll see," Giselle replied .
They both left, next stop to school .
