PSA: MENTIONS OF INSECURITIES, SELF INFLICTED HATE

Antonio's POV

Eliana Smith, she truly has become a beautiful young lady, I can still remember when I first met her, she is a entire new person, and I love that about her.

She is officially a teenager, starting middle school, it seems that my baby is growing up so quickly...

The mornings were usual she wakes up and I read my newspaper, then she comes to give me a hug which I kiss her forehead, am I a bit selfish that I want her to stay little forever?

She's been getting rather close to Kyle and I don't like that one bit.

Raevynn, and her have been extremely close, sometimes I worry what would happen if their friendship falls?

Being her Father I would pick up her broken pieces and mend them together, because what I know is that a girl cannot live without a father, I help set standard example of a man she should be with, or want to be with.

However I'll gladly chase away boys who don't meet up to my standards..

I bid her farewell and it was a repeat of almost elementary...

I wiped away my emotional tears away as I drove to my office building, I made it into the building and my employees greeted me, however to my displeasure I saw Jenna.

She was standing in front of the receptionist desk with a purse hanging from her left arm and she was wearing black tinted sunglasses that rested on her head, I cleared my throat and walked towards her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked cocking an eyebrow, which she turned and greeted me with a big smile.

"I would like to invite you to my wedding" she says, I looked at her dumbfounded.

"Is there a reason you came over here just to tell me that?" I annoyingly said but mostly I was hiding the hurt, sure I'm the most wanted bachelor, but sometimes I even want to settle down with a wife, and not worry about the public's eyes.

When the public discovered Ellie is my biological daughter, they began to shamefully call her 'bastard' or such foul languages, of course I ordered that the media shuts down the negative comments or there will be consequences.

"well you wouldn't answer my calls so I came here" Jenna responds snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I'll make sure to have my attendance" I rolled my eyes, "Brilliant! Make sure to bring Ellie" a Jenna says before walking away from me.

I adjusted my cuffs as I walked into my elevator, Do I really have to attend the wedding? Knowing Jenna a divorce would be settled less than a month of marriage, Jenna isn't the type to have a long committed spouse unless someone special changed her?

My day was starting to go great but seeing Jenna just made it worse.

Once I stepped onto my floor I saw Camille, immediately my mood changed.

"Miss Hawkes" I said which she stood up and greeted me.

"Are you busy during lunch time?" I questioned, "No Mr. Smith" she says.

A coy smile came to my face, "Just between you and me, I'd prefer that you call me Tony" I said winking before she turned a shade of a fire truck.

Even though it's been a few years that she's under my company, she is so easy to fluster.

"But-Mr.Smith other employee-" before she could finish her sentence I smashed my lips into hers.

She tasted like sweet honey.

"Mr. Smith!" she says muffled as she tries to push me away that only makes me more turned on.

"It's Tony" I said breaking the kiss and dragged her into my office as I locked the door.

"Now you're all mine" I smirked as she was completely flustered.

"Did you miss my touch?" I murmured leaving trails of kisses down her neck lifting her shirt up as I reached the lower region.

"T-Tony it's only 9 in the morning" she exclaims, "I still need my breakfast" I huskily said as I kissed her naval then put my head between her legs.

********************

"You May leave" I commanded, Camille was still fixing her top as she patted her skirt down, "I highly recommend you leave before I go for another round" I said which she scurried out the office.

I began to read the documents, reports, and finally the contract.

My office was so quiet I could hear the ticking sounds of my clocks, just then the silence was interrupted by a call.

"Antonio speaking" I answered,

"It's Ryder speaking, I was wondering if we can grab a drink and talk" Ryder says.

"If you must talk, then speak now" I answered.

"R-right... well let's just say ummm... My sister she recently divorced her husband, and now is fighting for custody battle we'd appreciate it if you came as moral support" Ryder explains.

"Five years of marriage down the drain?" I said, "My sister isn't the type to just call it off, in fact she found out that her husband has been sleeping around with her best friend" Ryder explains.

I rubbed my temple, Shits going down.

"And somehow he wants custody of their daughter, Cecile?"

"yes, he believes he has the right since he's the father"

"Bullshit, if he's the father he wouldn't have slept around with his wife's best friend" I was at my boiling point.

Isabella has been a dear friend of mine, and I've only ever seen her daughter once before but when Ryder said her husband is having an affair made me want to tear down the entire city of Brooklyn.

"Please Antonio, can you make it today? I know you are busy but we are on recess and I think Isabella really needs you more than ever" Ryder was pleading, that's a first, he likes his ego but if he's willing to beg I guess I have no choice right?

"Okay, I'll be there." I said then I picked up my jacket and informed Joseph I'll be in court.

***************

My driver parked the limo as I rushed out, the Paps didn't help but right now I was going to save my childhood best friend.

Reputation doesn't matter as long as my family friends are safe.

I entered the court house, I saw the one person I lost respect for.

Elliot Lundeen.

"Antonio Smith, What brings you here?" He greets me only to receive a scowl from me.

"I see you heard of what happened huh?" He says rubbing his neck.

"I'm not here to criticize anyone, I'm just here for Isabella and Cecile" I responded coldly, then I saw a small little head bobbing their way towards us.

I turned and saw Cecile, "Tony!" she exclaims, I was surprised the child remembered me, "How is my CiCi Doing?" I asked picking her up.

"good, Ellie?" she asks looking around.

It was her 4th birthday that I found out that she has become a little too attached to my daughter.

"CiCi, my daughter is in school But you'll see her soon okay?" I said which she nodded.

I placed her on the ground, "Elliot it's true you've been having an affair?" I asked cutting to the chase.

"Antonio Smith, you have to trust me on this, I would never do that to Isabella, in fact it was her best friend that set everything up" he explains.

"hey cici can you go find your mother?" he crouches to Cecile's level before she said okay and skipped away.

"care to explain?" I pressed.

"okay her best friend on the night before our wedding, she confessed her love to me, of course I declined her, then somehow she wanted to mess with my marriage and drug me" Elliot explains.

"How come you didn't tell Isabella that?" I wondered.

"Because she trusts her brother over her ex husband" he explains.

"when did you two divorce?" I asked.

"maybe a few months ago, and Isabella hasn't talked to me since, and honestly I can't provide evidence to prove it other than Angelina" he says.

I pondered, why the fuck does every drama has to involve me?

"I'll reason with them, but isn't there a way for joint-custody?" I suggested.

He didn't respond for a few minutes, but then Isabella came.

"Antonio you're here" she breathes out.

I nodded, "Tony why are you talking to Elliot? He cheated" she exclaims.

But I held my hand up, "First let's get the facts right, second do not call me Tony" I stated bluntly.

Yes it was harsh of me to do so but when she calls me 'Tony' it sends so many emotions to me.

"I'm not dealing with this bullshit" I said before searching for Ryder.

***********

"Ryder what the hell." I said seeing he was pinning a girl up to a wall.

I rolled my eyes, typical fuckboy.

"Glad you made it." He says pushing the girl away and faced me.

"Elliot informed me on his behalf of the story, that you clearly didn't consider checking" I tsked.

"I don't like seeing my baby sister hurt" Ryder says.

"neither do I, now tell me what exactly I drag myself into" I said.

"Elliot Lundeen wants full custody of Cecile, however my sister isn't so reluctant which I'm not either, however Elliot is a pretty profound actor" Ryder continues.

I nodded saying he should continue.

"The night of the wedding, I saw Elliot kissing a girl, now I wasn't sure if that was Elliot, but my sister looked so happy with him so I didn't want to say anything" Ryder begins.

He was inhaling some oxygen, "When you came to the Baby Shower, Elliot has been acting rather suspicious, he would leave my sister's side to go who knows where"

"after that, I became weary of him, and when Izzy caught the two of them in bed she was beyond heart broken, she actually didn't walk in, she just left and then she grabbed Cici and they came to my place"

I held my hand up, "hold the fuck up, give me the timeline" I stated.

"It was roughly around Cecile's fourth birthday, when you came and brought Ellie" he answers.

"Ryder you really have put me in a tight pickle" I said cracking my neck.

"..right I'm sorry, but anyways will you stay for court?" He asks.

"I'm already in deep shit, might as well finish it off" I scoffed which he was happy to hear.

"but I would need to be home before my daughter comes home" I stated.

"Of course the court will start very soon"

I nodded and decided that if something is to happen during the hearing, I'd inform Edmen that I'm in court.

Ellie's PoV

I sat with my two besties, "Okay my dad said it's A-OKAY" I exclaimed which they all nodded.

"cool, should I bring some silly strings?" Kyle asks.

"yes please" I said knowing I'm going to use that to prank Raevynn.

"I'll make sure to bring some sharpies..." Raevynn just causally says.

"oh no you don't" both Kyle and I said.

"alright alright, I won't...but no promises" she says with a sly smirk.

I rolled my eyes, "Okay, it's set. But real question have you heard about the new transfer students?" I said.

They looked to each other, "no I haven't" they said.

"Okay it appears it's twins, twin girls, Daisy told me that her cousins would be attending our school, so maybe it's them?" I suggested.

While talking to them I saw the student crowd, the new students.

I waved so they could come to us, which they did surprisingly.

"Hey I'm Ellie these are my friends" I said introducing them.

"sup" Kyle says giving a short wave, then Raevynn just looks at her nails as if that's the most interesting thing, while mumbling a 'hi'

"I'm Alyssa, this is my twin sister, Avery" The Girl with curly waves says.

"Well I hope you find a liking to our school!" I said.

"Yes I hope so too, what do you guys do?" she asks as she sat down at our table.

"Ellie I think I've seen you on tv before" Avery muses, I just gave her a nervous chuckle.

"Aren't you The one and Only Smith's Daughter?" Alyssa exclaims.

"Please dial it down! not everyone in the middle school knows..." I said.

Which they nodded quickly.

"Between us, my identity will be kept secret!" I stated.

"Ooo Okay I' like that" Alyssa says.

"but what's it like being the daughter of a multi billionaire?" Avery lowers her voice.

"normal, I mean like it's normal" I said shrugging.

"Well yeah! But your father is like the world's wanted bachelor" Avery whispers.

"Bachelor..? You mean like the one you see on the tv series oh what was it called again...- right The Bachelors" I said tapping my chin.

"Ellie you know it too..!" Raevynn smacks me to my side, I playfully glare.

"okay okay, yes, he is, but what's it got to do with being his daughter?" I asked.

"Does he like walk around the house shirtless? or have you seen him shirtless? is his abs good looking?" Avery asks.

Oh my god.

My new friends are literally fangirling over my.....father.

My one and only daddy, they are -

I can't describe it.

I gagged, "who looks at my father's abs..?" I asked.

"Plenty of people! look take out your phone and search up 'Antonio Smith shirtless' then you'll see his abs" Avery says.

I was trying so hard not to laugh, "That's nasty, I mean sure I cuddle with him when I'm feeling scared but is his abs that good looking?" I questioned pulling my phone out and slowly typing in my father's name.

Felt pretty weird typing his name honestly.

Then my poor virgin eyes saw a blast of photos of my father in Calvin Klein boxers.

I threw my phone in the air as I tried to erase the images.

"oh my god! he's so hot" This time Alyssa says gushing, "guys...I think I lost my appetite" I said pushing my lunch bag away.

"Oooh did he prepare that for you?" Avery asks observing my lunch bag.

Something tells me that they'll be sticking around... and definitely will make me regret doing some decisions.

"wait you cuddle with the Antonio Smith" Alyssa says in a hushed tone.

Kinda delayed you know..?

"yeah nothing weird right?" I said.

"Does he go to bed shirtless?" She asks.

I stood up from the table quickly, then some kids looked our way, and I quickly slipped back into my seat.

"I don't check my daddy out, that's kinda weird" I admitted.

'Really? you checked him out all the time when you were five or something'

Oh shut up, that's because I didn't realize such a god would turn out to be my father.

'uh huh, well you can't say you didn't check him out, but either way you did check him OUT!'

okay shut up conscience.

"do you know the word 'daddy' is pretty kinky." Alyssa states.

"Excuse me?" I coughed, "Guys please stop destroying my precious El's innocence" Kyle says covering my ears.

I playfully groan.

I swatted him away and he was just giving me a puppy eyes.

"Okay we'll stop bombarding you with questions of your father" Avery says.

"Thank the lord" I muttered.

Don't know how I'm suppose to face my father now... should I ask him what Kinky is? And why the word 'daddy' is considered kinky...?

it doesn't matter anyways I'm glad school is over now.

***************

I flung my backpack on the ground as I raced up to my room, I ripped off my bra.

"that feels incredibly better" I said as I placed it into my hamper then I grabbed a sweatshirt of daddy's.

Apparently daddy found out that I've been stealing his sweatshirts...

I giggled at the memory when I was 10.

I snuck into daddy's room as I went over to his closet and pulled out a big sweatshirt and I slid into them, then I sat on daddy's bed.

A few moments later, daddy enters unloosening his tie, "thought I'd find you here, but have you seen my black sweatshirt?" Daddy asks.

I looked up at him, "I dunno" I said shrugging even though I was wearing exactly the black sweatshirt.

"You little munchkin, you're wearing it" he says as he comes over to his bed and tickles me then I took off his sweatshirt revealing another of his sweatshirt, "Huh, I think I finally found the sweatshirt stealing culprit" he says as he places a kiss on my forehead.

So ever since that I've been stealing his sweatshirts, I'm surprised he hasn't bought anymore since he is lacking of 'comfy clothes' in his closet section.

I went over to my desk to begin my homework.

After maybe half an hour, I got hungry so I walked out of my room and went down the stairs after millions flights of stairs I reached the bottom, then I saw dad hanging his coat, "Daddy" I said greeting him as he wrapped his arms around my waist, "Hey pumpkin, did you miss me?" He asks as he kisses my head.

"No too busy with homework to miss you" I said nonchalantly.

Then he cocked an eyebrow, "I feel hurt" he says placing his hand on his left chest which I giggled, then before I knew it he was tickling my side.

"S-s-stop" I giggled, "not till you say you missed me" He says which I sighed since my stomach is rumbling so much, "Yes I missed you very much DADDY" I exclaimed then he stopped tickling me.

While ruffled my hair I finally made it to the kitchen and grabbed a banana to eat, dad was setting his briefcase down and sat at the kitchen counter, I glanced at him, the conversation of what Alyssa and Avery said suddenly played in my head, I mean my dad is pretty toned, and very young.

"Are you done checking me out?" I heard father say but I was still in my own little world, So if I look at his abs, I wonder what six packs look like..? I mean then is that why he constantly wears a towel around his waist after a shower...?

"Baby" Daddy says now which I snapped out of my zone, "huh yeah? Yes? You called?" I said looking at him.

"admiring the view...?" He smirks but more like asks.

I looked at him dumbfounded, "no actually dad I have a question" I said now throwing my banana peel into the trash bin.

"Shoot" He says bow closing his laptop.

"What does kinky mean? And why is the term 'daddy' a kinky word" I asked.

Then I saw Dad's eyes widen a bit, "where did you hear that? And who told you that?" He repeats a question back at me.

"A new transfer students said they know you and started fangirling over you and I called you what I normally call you, then they said it's kinky and yeah" I explained shrugging.

Then he coughed clearing his throat, "baby you don't need to worry about that, those students are not good influence" he responds, I nodded and proceeded to raid the fridge and grab some leftover casserole.

"daddy" I said which he said 'mmh'

"do...you think I'm fat?" I asked sitting as I had a little roll and I wanted to have abs like dad.

"did you finally realize you're a pig" he asks unconcerned as he continues to pay attention his laptop,

at times like these I wanted to just punch him,

"ugh you're really no help" i said clenching my fist, "on second thought, have you gotten skinnier?" he asks giving me a quick up and down before returning to his computer.

then he gets up and walks over to me and embraces me in a hug,

"Baby you don't need to change anything about yourself, please don't call yourself fat okay?" He continues as he places a kiss on my forehead.

i don't know where to hate or love my dad.

"okay I won't" I said crossing my fingers behind me, "promise?" He says, "I promise" I smiled, but I felt bad for lying to dad...

This is probably the first time I've ever lied to him.

"Atta Girl, now did you finish any homework?" He asks.

"Yeah I did, I came to grab some snacks" I said which he nodded before returning to his computer.

My friends are skinny... am I skinny too? I looked down at my stomach it had some red lines from sitting down, it always happens cause my stomach fat rolls......
