The Better Half Of Me

Daddy

Maya

"Mooooooooommmmmyyyyyyyyy!" A loud whine woke me up from my sleep, Cleo entering through the bedroom and climbing onto my bed "mommy what's daddy doing in here?" She tapped at my chest

"I had a scary dream, baby" I grumble, wrapping my arm around her and pulling her into the sheets with us. Lucas' strong arm wrapped over the top of both of us, Cleo snuggling her head into his chest making my heart melt

I drifted back off to sleep, Cleo doing the same for about half an hour before she jumped awake again, climbing out of the sheets "I'm hungryyyy" she whined "let's go get some food..let mommy sleep" Lucas untangled himself from me, attaching Cleo to his hip and leaving out the bedroom

I turned over to my side, reading through my phone,

"Maya Hart's new beau identified as Lucas Friar, inside sources revealing they grew up together! People now question if Cleo Hart is really Maya Harts sister, as she is identical to the lovers"

I sighed. Of course they figured it out in like 2 days. Peeling myself out of the bed, I sit up and head out to the kitchen where Lucas took Cleo. Opening the door I see them sitting at the table together, lucas cutting up strawberries that were on cleos plate, laughing and giggling with each other

"Morning mommy!" Cleo bursted as she saw me enter the room, a subtle smirk laid on Lucas' face "morning baby" I replied, kissing her head sweetly and taking a seat across from them "have you seen this?" I show lucas the article on my phone

His eyes scanned over it before looking up to me sympathetically "..are you gonna speak out about it?" He asked "it's up to you, the only reason I told people she was my sister is because I didn't want you to find out you had a daughter through the news..but if I confirm it then it puts you in the spotlight a little bit..you'll be less..unknown" I trail off

He shrugged, "it doesn't bother me, Maya. You do what's best for you and Cleo and I'll be happy with it" he reached over the table, placing his hand on top of mine. My heart skipped a beat, a small smile on my face "thank you" I reply

"Cleo the love of my life, why don't you go and put on a movie while daddy and I talk" I suggested. Cleo shoves the last strawberry in her mouth, "okay! Daddy are you going to come?" She pouted. Lucas nodded "right after mommy and I finish talking" he assured her, watching as the little girl ran off into tne other room

"So you've only been here a few days and I can already tell she's a daddy's girl" I sighed. A cocky smirk grew on his face, "I don't blame her" he shrugged his shoulders. I chuckled, "hey, hey, hey, what was all this talk about her being the love of your life?" He questioned

I furrowed my eyebrows, "well who else is it? Are you offering?" I joke playfully. He smirked again, "yea..but not just yet" he teased. I rolled my eyes,
"Anyway..I was thinking..why don't we go on holiday?" I changed the subject. Lucas furrowed his eyebrows "when?" He asked confused "today, tomorrow, I don't know..let's just go somewhere and have fun as a-" I stopped myself "as a family?" A dorky grin grew on his face

I nodded, "Yea as a family" I smiled. "where to?" Lucas asked "I was thinking Italy" I dreamed of the beautiful country "do you think it's a bit..much..?" He questioned. I sat back in my chair, maybe he's right..maybe it is a bit too much

I mean she's only just met him and after all my talk of not wanting to be with him or do anything that will get her hopes up, going to Italy probably won't help. "..o-oh..I didn't think of that..I'm sorry.." I stuttered. Lucas' face softened, "no, no..I didn't mean it in like a bad way, I meant do you think you'll be okay with it..with wanting to sort of keep boundaries like you wanted?" He explained

I shrugged "yea..but I guess I want the boundaries to ease over time..I thought maybe Riley and Farkle could come too..Isadora and Zay if they aren't busy" I suggested, getting up from my place on the table and pouring a coffee over at the counter

I felt lucas' presence behind me, his hands lay gently on my waist, his face so close that he could see the goosebumps rising on my neck "what boundaries are we easing?" He whispered, I could tell he had a cheeky smirk on his face

I turned around to face him, "you know..you being around here more..her seeing you..us being around each other" I listed quietly. Lucas dipped his head down, his lips attaching sweetly to mine, pulling me into some kind of trance that I couldn't pull away from "that kind of boundary?" He questioned lowly

"Daddy! Come on you're taking forever!" Cleo called from the living room. I bit down on my lip, a seductive look on my face "you better go..daddy" I chuckled humorously to myself..
