The Bad Boy Has A Daughter

By Chimdi Jane Samuel.

Chapter Seven.

*Noah’s point of view*

“Dad, there’s no TV, me wanna watch pj masks” Casey whined, jumping on the couch, it’s been a few minutes since we finished her homework and I was checking my account balance on my phone. I was dead broke.

Not that I had nothing, I did, but there was still a lot I wanted to buy. Like cornflakes, how much did that cost?
I didn’t know. “Hey, put on your jacket, let’s go the store to get you cornflakes” I said, carrying her to my room so she could bring her pink jacket.
Casey jumped and sang on my arms as I put her jacket on for her. “You’re putting it the wrong way” She laughed.
When everything was pink, pink outside, pink in,side, how was I supposed to know. The color is so annoying. Black was the way.

A knock sounded on my door. And I thought who would be there, but Casey jumped down from my arms and ran towards it, opening it immediately.
Jesus, it could be a robber. I ran to the door almost stumbling. Anna stood by it, looking down at Casey in surprise.
I didn’t know what to say at first, no way I was saying this was my daughter. I’ll just tell her it’s my neighbors kid.
“Dad is this your girlfriend?”
Shit.
Anna’s eyes snapped to mine, a look of shock clouded her features, and her jaw dropped.
“No, Casey. Hey go get my phone and keys on the table alright” I said to Casey and she ran away Immediately.
“You didn’t tell me you had a kid”
“I just found out, few minutes ago”
“Aren’t we going to have lessons today?” She asked, peeping into the apartment. “Seems you are going out”
“I’m going to get her cornflakes, I’ll be back. Wanna hang out too?”

Anna seemed to be considering it and I wanted her to say yes, God knew if I took Casey to the store she’ll get lost.
“Here dad” Casey smiled, handling me the keys. “Let’s go, me is hungry” she whined before turning to look at k-ssy. “You is pretty, really pretty, more pretty than dad”
Anna squared beside her so she could be at eye level with Casey. “Thanks dear, what’s your name?”
“Casey Bricks, mom said my last name not Graham, and I take dad last name Bricks” She looked at me with pride.
The more I stared at her and k-ssy talking the more I knew, this little girl was mine. She really was. And her mom Andrea, left. I was going to try to get in contact with her to see if she could take Casey back. Because there was no way I was keeping a two years old with me. She couldn’t fit into my life. Not this horrible life I lived.
I couldn’t even take care if myself how much more a kid who wanted attention, and a girl for that. I couldn’t do it. Andrea would take her, then I’ll try as much as possible to send money every month. But keeping Casey was out of it.
“Ok, Casey come out. k-ssy you’re coming right?” I turned to Anna..

“But she say her name’s Anna, dad call you k-ssy why?” Casey started up at Anna and she blushed. Her cheeks a deep shade of red. I smirked, not saying a word.
“He- it…I…” She stuttered. Looking up at me, silently pleading for help. But I kept shut. My smirk growing bigger..
“It..it’s just a nickname Noah came up with, come on” She held until Casey’s hand as we left the apartment.
Casey sang the wh0le way to the store and I could feel Anna’s stare at me. Why was she staring? Of course she’ll be wondering how I had a daughter within four hours and I was going to tell her.
“How about milk?” Anna asked me when we took the cornflakes from the stack of goods.
Milk? Do they take milk with cornflakes?
“Yes, daddy. Me don’t take cornflakes without milk and sugar, it’s bitter” She grinned, holding my hand so she could take the cornflakes. I handed it over to her and she admired the cover of it
“Where’s her mom?” Anna asked when she saw Casey busy with the cornflakes.
“I don’t know, Casey mentioned something about her leaving for school. I’m going to find her” I picked up a bottle of milk from the shelf and sugar before turning back at Anna.
“Let’s go. Come on Casey” Anna took her hand, but she just wiggled out of it and ran towards the cashier.
Anna laughed, it was a nice sound, I smiled at her and she blushed taking her eyes off me.
After paying for the food we went back to the apartment and Anna made the meal for Casey while she jumped all over the chair singing something like a Barbie song.

Casey was a horrible eater, she spewed milk all over the place, on her dress, on her jacket and her mouth was stained with milk. But I didn’t say anything while Anna cleaned up the mess.
“Mom says, bath before sleep”
That wasn’t f-cking happening. I couldn’t bath her. That wasn’t happening.
I turned to look at Anna pitifully. “Could you please assist her in the bathroom?”
“Sure” she beamed, taking Casey’s hand and fiing to the bathroom.
Sighing, slumped on the couch, my neck ached. I glanced at the time, I had two more hours to be at the racing ground. How was I going to leave Casey here? Maybe I could ask Anna for help?
What no! I didn’t even know her that well enough, she could be a kidnapper.
Really Noah, the girls helped you yesterday.

Fine. I was going to ask. But I knew she might say no. No one wanted to be stucked with a kid.
“She’s asking for you” Anna stepped in front of me, she was really beautiful. “why are you staring at me like that?”
“Nothing” I stood up and walked to the room. Casey was lying in the bed, a teddy bear in her arms and she was wearing a pink nightdress.
“Mom always read bed times stories for me. Cinderella. But she didn’t put the book in my bag, but you know it right?” Those big green eyes stared at me with so much hope, no way I was telling her no .
I didn’t even know the wh0le story about Cinderella. “Yes I do”
“Tell me”
Well, here I go.
“Once upon a time” Casey drew closer, her eyes locked with mine. “There was a girl who lived with her step mother and there was this huge black scary beast who lived up the hill in a dark mansion filled with monsters, monsters that talked. ” Casey’s eyes opened w¡der.

She clinged until her teddy bear tighter..
“But the huge black scary beast didn’t love anyone that was why he was like that. He used swords to cut off people’s heads, he beat kids and cut off girls hair”
Casey gasped, holding her black hair in fright .”Oh no”
“But one day Cinderella went into the woods, and the beast came, he scre-med and shouted at Cinderella to go back. But Cinderella was looking for her father so she said no. The Beast was angry he opened his mouth to bite off Cinderella’s head. His big, strong teeth coming closer to her face”
“No!, Please don’t eat Cinderella!” Casey scre-med.
“No, the beast didn’t hear Casey ,so he opened his mouth and was getting closer to Cinderella’s head and bi–”
“The hunters then came and shot the beast dead” Anna walked into the room. “Cinderella was safe and she found her dad and went back home happy, the end”
Casey released the breath she had been holding, her eyes were watery and tears spilled from them.
Oh my God! What did I do now?

.

“What is wrong?” I asked, but Casey just cried h-rder, clinging until her teddy bear for dear life.
What did I do? I was just telling her a story.

“What’s wrong honey?” Anna sat beside me on the bed facing Casey, she asked very softly, while my voice was louder.
“I don’t want no big scary beast to take daddy” She rose her head, looking at me with teary eyes. My heart melted.
“No, no no, no one’s gonna take your dad alright.” Anna said, coming closer to her to hold her and wipe her tears.
“But the beast took Cinderella daddy and wanted to eat him” She cried h-rder this time.
I was dumb struck, I didn’t know what to do. She was scared a big beast which didn’t exist was going to kill me. It was just a story.
“Your daddy is strong and powerful he’s going to kill any beast that comes close to the both of you, ok?”
“Really?” Casey looked up at me, I put my hands forward and wiped her tears, before putting her to bed and covering her.
“Yes Casey, I’m going to beat the hell out of any beast that comes close to us. I’m very strong”

I k-ssed her forhead. She smiled, closing her eyes to sleep.
I stared at her before getting up with Anna and putting off the lights..
No beast is going to take me away from you.

Chapter Eight.

*Noah’s point of view*

“So I was wondering if you could stay with Casey for the night?” I asked Anna after we finished lesson. It was already past eight and I needed to be at the racing s₱0t by eight thirty.
I didn’t want to leave Casey alone in case someone broke into the house to take her or steal something, whatever I didn’t want to leave her alone.
“Where are you going?” Anna asked, packing some of the books into her bag before placing it on her lap and starting at me with high hazel eyes.
“I have a job to do”
“Like what?”
“It’s none of your business, would you watch her or not?” Why couldn’t someone just ask first help without the person giving a life description. It was annoying.

Anna sighed and ran her hands through her hair. “When would you be back?’
“Midnight” I only had one race today. With that stupid Ryder.
“Ok, but I have to change your bandages before you go” she muttered, opening her hag again and bringing out her medical kit.
“Do you take that everywhere you go?” I asked, picking up the small box to reveal, needless, syringe, Bandages, scissors and all other medical instrument.
“Yes, anyone could be in danger, and I always want to help. Move closer” I shifted my closer to Anna and she blushed slightly when my knees touched hers.
“Thanks for helping me” i said, staring into her eyes. “You didn’t even know me” She smiled and peeled off the bandage from my head,
“No problem”
God. She was beautiful, staring at her like this, sitting so close to me I couldn’t help but imagine those l-ips against mine again. Though the first time had been a mistake, but I wanted it. I wanted those l-ips against mine again.

I could barely feel her hands against my head, my mind was somewhere else, another place with her in it.
“Done” She smiled, “I’ll still have to change the bandages tomorrow”
I moved closer to her, she remained in still position and my l-ips went closer to her, those hazel eyes staring deep into my eyes. I wanted to feel her l-ips. I needed to. Almost reaching her, she pulled away.
“Sorry, the last time was a mistake, and I don’t want it to happen again”
Of course. It felt like a knife had cut a small piece of my heart.
“Sure, I’ll be going now. Midnight” I walked out m, slamming the door behind me before she said anything else.
What the hell was I thinking? That she was just going to k-ss me like that?
Was I that terrible she didn’t want to? It was it because she didn’t know me?
What ever the reason was it hurt me.
What the hell Noah? You shouldn’t let those things get to you. You’re Noah Bricks, you can get any girl you want she wouldn’t be any different.

I walked out if the building and after a few minutes, I got to the racing s₱0t.
About five hundred people were present here Every night. It was the normal routine. But today we had more people than usual because this was the last stage before semi finals. After two months of racing other people,
Every six months there was a competition, where professional racers gathered to find the best. The first stage was the easiest. Anyone who wanted to race was giving a starting point and the first twenty who made it across the finishing line proceeded to the next stage. Here, the twenty competitors would race through dangerous barriers, curves and even explosives. The only way to make it to the next round would be to go through it all without a single scratch on the car, that means no contact. Only ten racers made it.
Now the third stage was were we would be grouped into two. And I was grouped with Ryder. Yesterday had been a warm up before the D day which was tomorrow. Today also was a warm up, something like a warm up revenge which was because of yesterday. Ryder had hit my car so terribly it went over, there was a law against attacking other cars. But during the finals it was do whatever you can to win.

But this wasn’t even the semi finals and Ryder wasn’t playing fair. So today was like a revenge of yesterday and many people were eager to watch.
I went to the garage to pick the car I always rented. It was a Mazda MX-5 Miata, my lucky car, my dad used this during his last days of racing. It was black and looking a little old. After the match yesterday I had the mechanic fix it so I could use it today.
“Hey Noah, how’s your head?” Theo the mechanic asked when I walked into the garage. He was an old man, a good friend of my father’s. He had worked as a mechanic for the racers as long as I could remember.
“Healing” I smiled, walking over you the car.
“You finally went to the hospital for the first time in your life”

I nodded, there was no way I was telling Theo about Anna, hell even Casey. Where he was like a father to me I didn’t trust him completely, anyone could turn their backs on you.

“Is she ready?” I pointed to the car.
“Yes, he safe Noah” He tapped need before leaving. I walked towards the car, got in. And zoomed to the starting line. Ryder was already there, testing in the bonnet with girls surrounding him. Half unclad girls, he was k-ssing one while gripping to the ass another.
Idiot.
I got out of the car “Yo Ryder, let’s do this right now and stop eating that girl’s face!” I shouted at him. He snapped out of his k-ss, pushing the girls away and wiping his l-ips, a smirk playing on it.
Ryder was handsome, a typical ladies man, and also a very very very good racer. He won the competition the last time. And he wanted to kick my ass again.

He was really angry I didn’t give up and wanted to compete again this year.
“Your head must he hurt really bad, was it because I wiped your ass yesterday?” He smirked, grabbing another girl and giving her a fierce k-ss before pushing her away to step closer to me.
“You’re going to get more than a head injury this time Bricks” He stepped away and got into his car.
I got into mine, stepping on the accelerator, causing it to hum loudly. The girl standing in front of us, waving the flag teasingly, whining her wa-ist sed-ctively and smiling at us.
She pointed the flag to me and I stepped on the accelerator again. She smiles and turned to Ryder, he did his too. She waved the flag again before hitting it on the ground.

I zoomed off.
At the coner of my eye I saw him.
The man I was racing for, the man that I hated and the man I owed money. He was the reason I raced to get money so I could pay him back. And if I didn’t, I knew what he could do.
For Drew Goodman is not to be messed with.
