PAPI

"Wife huh?"Nate said immediately she left the room.

"Hmm". Daniel replied casually.

"I didn't know you were interested in young girls."He said jokingly.

Daniel glared at him.

"Don't glare at me. Am serious. Isn't she too young for you?"He asked more seriously.

"She's 18 and she'll grow. I'll make sure she has the necessary comfort. I'll guide her and help her make the right choices. " He said like a doting father. He looked so serious and his grey eyes became soft and loving.

Nate was stunned for a second. Was this Daniel Froster? He was now curious to know more about this girl. Because the girl who could soften Daniel's heart wasn't ordinary.

...

30 minutes passed and Rory came back downstairs. Coincidentally,Nate was already leaving.

"You are leaving?"She asked.

"Yes little one"Nate said while ruffling her hair. She was so adorable. He just had this feeling to protect her.

"Ok bye Uncle Nate"She said goodbye to him.

"Uncle Nate?"He asked her back. Why would she call him Uncle Nate.

"Yes. You don't like it?"Rory arched her eyebrow.

"Not that. If you call me Uncle Nate then you also have to call Daniel,Uncle Daniel too."Nate explained to her.

"Why?"

"Because your husband and I are the same age." He finally hit the nail on the head.

Rory looked speechless for a while. She thought for a few minutes and said,"Fine then. I'll call you Uncle Nate and I'll find something to call Dani"

"Sounds good"Nate agreed.

Now she needed a nickname or else it will fell weird to call her husband Uncle Daniel. She paced back and forth the room and the two men sat down patiently while looking at her intently. They looked at her without batting an eyelid. They wanted to catch every single one of her actions.

It wasn't boring to watch her facial expressions change. Sometimes it would he confused,other times it would seem as if she was frustrated. It was really intriguing. After what seemed like ages she finally stopped.

"Yes! Have finally thought of a perfect name!"She proudly announced.

"What?"They both said at the same time.

Both had a trace of anticipation on their handsome faces.

"Papi"She said softly.

"Papi?"Nate repeated.

"Tell me,how does it sound?"She asked excitedly. The name Papi means Father in Spanish. It wasn't bad and it sounded cute when it came out of her mouth.

Daniel's lips curled up and he said,"I like it"

"You do?! That's great!"Rory was over the moon.

"What kind of name is that?"Nate spoke.

"It sounds like parti. Change it. It's contradictory"Nate voiced out his displeasure.

Rory pursed her lips. She looked despondent.

"Well I like it and shouldn't you be on your way"Daniel said coldly after noticing his wife's glum look.

Was he really kicking him out?

"Are you kicking me out?!"Nate was baffled.

"Yes"He answered straight forwardly.

"Oh my God!"He gushed.

"What? Your presence gives my home a bad vibe. I think you should leave so the vibe can change"Daniel replied casually.

Rory gave Nate a 'I am sorry' look. Seeing that look,Nate's heart softened.

Although he had just been with her for a few minutes,he already liked Rory. She was just so lovable. He also vowed to help her if she ever needed anything.

Even though he was kicked out by his best friend,he left there with high spirits. All because of Rory.

....

If luck was on her side, she'll be able to sneak away from Daniel to avoid being questioned about the test.

Unfortunately,luck wasn't on her side today.

"About the test"She heard Daniel's voice as she was about to turn around to leave.

"What about the test?"She asked sheepishly.

"I was told you are having Maths and Biology,first thing on Monday"He replied her.

"Hehe. Really?"

"Yes. So what do you plan to do?" He asked her. Rory wanted to cry but had no tears. What could she say? She had been so busy with her revenge scheme she actually forgot about the test. Her only way out,was to think of a lie,a very good one. Rory started to rack her brain. Where was a good plan when she needed one? Her brain was so useless.

She cleared her throat and wanted to say something but the words died in her throat.

"A plan?" She looked around the house and was about to turn into Pinocchio when she heard Daniel's voice.

"You don't need to think of a plan. I already have one. The plan is simple"

"Tell me your plan"She urged him.

"The plan is to study"He told her sternly.

When she heard is plan her smile turned upside down. She rolled her eyes with disdain.

"Papi, studying is has boring as it sounds"She whined like a little child.

"Studying is good. If you don't pass,what magic do you expect to happen in the exam Hall?"He disagreed with her.

"Ugh!"She groaned loudly.

He chuckled and comforted her,"don't worry,I'll be there to make sure you study"

How was that any better? If she studied it'll probably take her less than hour to finish. Her cheeks were puffed up when angry and she looked dainty. He couldn't help but pinch her cheeks.

Rory huffed and grumbled. Daniel wanted to ruffle her hair but she slapped his hand away. Daniel felt lost at what to do. For the second time,he wanted to ruffle her hair but before he could touch her head,she already walked away. Daniel felt strange with his hand hanging in the air. He had never dated in his life,so he was a novice when it came to girls and how to appease them.

He didn't have a sister to make it even worse. The only thought he had was,'Didn't young people love to read?'

After sorting out his thoughts,he went into his study to see Rory sitting down with her arms crossed. Ignoring her murderous look,he slammed a big book on the table. The book was large. It had a blue cover.

"This is a step by step Maths textbook that explains every topic"He told her calmly. This book had ever two thousand pages. "This book is too big!"Her eyes almost bulged out.

"Read. If you don't understand anything,tell me."

"But..."

"Talk less,read more"Rory immediately stopped complaining and buried he'd head in her book. Daniel's glare was scary.

Once he saw she was busy,he took out his documents and started to go through them.
