The Bad Boy Has A Daughter

By Chimdi Jane Samuel
Chapter Fourteen

*Anna’s point of view*

The moment I heard Casey cry, I left the mall attendant who was sneaking glances at my b-obs. Pervert.
I thought she was probably in trouble, but I was shocked to see her crying and Noah was the cause of the tears. He was shouting at her and shaking her profusely.

I get that Noah was probably angry because she left, but that was no way to treat your daughter, a two year old.
But then who could blame him? Noah was a teenager too, stuck with a two year old daughter. He couldn’t even take care of himself and discipline himself and a kid was dumped for him.
The guy was in a state where he was just confused as hell. But Noah was strong, he was trying to handle things well.
I saw the regrets in his eyes as he left me with crying Casey. He was born apart and I almost cried too.
Scooping Casey in my arms I apologized on behalf of Noah.
“Baby, your dad is really sorry, he didn’t mean that. He loves you and he was really worried about you” I wiped her tears and after a few minutes, she fell silent. But her chest was still heaving.
“Me is sorry too. Me shouldn’t go anywhere without Daddy” She picked her teddy bear. “Let’s go meet daddy” She took my hand and we walked out of the store.
“Make yourself useful and get the things we bought delivered to this address” I shoved Noah’s address at the mall attendant who was now staring at my ass.
On getting outside, I saw Noah he was resting on the wall, and I took a step towards his direction. When I saw someone step out of the shadows.
Drew Goodman.
What was he doing here? He muttered something to Noah and I could see his muscles clench. He turned to my direction, and in his eyes I recognized fear. Real fear.
Did Drew know Noah? Did Noah know Drew?
What was going on?
I wanted to walk up to them but something held me back.
If Drew, a leader of the Snakes and Ladders was talking to Noah, and me and Casey, two important people in his life, walked up to him. Something might go wrong, and Drew would put two and two together. And besides Noah looked scared of him.

I turned away from Noah, and acted as if I didn’t know him. Thankfully, an ice-cream cart was passing by so I turned Casey away from them, so she wouldn’t see them.
Casey picked a vanilla flavor and all her attention was on it. So I used the opportunity to look back at Noah.
Him and Drew looked to be in a deep conversation, and I could see the way he clenched his fist in pure anger. In the end Drew left not before tapping his shoulders, smiling like a fool.
Noah waited for about two minutes, checking if Drew was really gone, before coming up to me.
“What was all that about? Do you know Drew?” I asked, grabbing Casey’s hand because she wanted to touch a little puppy that had walked up to her, licking the drops on ice-cream on the floor.
“No, he needed help with something, that’s all. Wait how did you know Drew?” He asked, sneaking glances at Casey as if scared she would catch him staring at her. But the little girl was just trying so hærd to touch the dog with the same hand she used to hold the ice-cream.
I couldn’t tell Noah I had seen Drew kill someone, he was probably his friend.
“Rumors” I lied. “Casey don’t touch it, it might have diseases, see your dad” Casey froze, then looked up at Noah, before looking at her feet.

Slowly, she walked up to noah. “Me is sorry, won’t run off again” I could almost see the tears glittering in Noah’s eyes and he picked up Casey with ease and hugged her tightly, as if she’ll be taken any time soon.
He breathed her as if she were life. His huge arms wrapping over her little frame and Casey small arms around his neck.
“I’m sorry potato, I promise I’ll never yell at you that way again. I promise. I promise”
“Pinky swears?” Casey looked at Noah with a small smile.
“Pinky swears, and if I do just step on my foot and I’ll stop immediately. I promise” Noah hugged her again.
“Let’s go home, that mall attendant would probably have reached your place” I said, moving beside Noah, who took my hands in him and gave me a warm smile.
Everything looked perfect, Noah holding Casey with one arm and the other wrapped around mine.
We looked like a perfect couple.
But then there was a bad feeling that the thing with Drew wasn’t just a little issue. Something was up.
And whatever it was, it seemed to scare Noah pretty bad.
And whatever it was, I was going to find out.
One way or the other.
Hey guys, as usual, I’ve started posting two chapters per day so keep your likes coming.
This are better now with Casey and Noah, but Anna being the smart type has noticed something is going on between Noah and Drew and she’s curious about it..

Chapter Fifteen.

*Anna’s point of view*

“Let’s place the cereals in the shelf up there, pass the cornflakes first baby” I waved my hand to Casey who was giving me the cereals. After coming back from the mall, we found the mall attendant waiting at Noah’s doorstep with the goods. Noah had packed it all in, and was currently sitting on couch, typing on his phone.
His face was clenched in worry.
Looking away from him, I took the box of cornflakes and Rose on my toes to keep it. But I was just too short. I rose higher and stretched out my hand but I couldn’t reach it.
Just a little higher..
“You should have called for my help, k-ssy” Noah said, standing right behind me, his breath on my neck.his l-ips dangerously close to mine, all I had to do was move an inch and mine would be locked in his.
But Noah looked away from me, picked the cornflakes and put it in the shelf without moving an inch.
Tall brat.
A tall, handsome brat.
Focus, Anna!
“Uhmm…Dad? Anna? Stop staring at each other, it’s creepy” Casey said, folding her arms and giving us a stern look.
Noah laughed and walked up to her, shuffling her hair. “Anna is beautiful isn’t she?” He asked, turning to my direction.
My face flushed pink and I turned to pick up another cereal box.
“Yes, like a queen. And daddy is the king, so me is a princess” Casey grinned before snuggling close to Noah, something flashed in his eyes but it was gone before I knew it.

“Me is sleepy” Casey yawned, Noah picked her up and walked off to the room.
“Let’s get you to bed, potato” He k-ssed her forehead before disappearing into the room.
I sighed then looked at my phone, a missed call from my aunt. Then a text message from Clary, saying she was sorry.
I hadn’t been to the clinic since I met Noah, so I quickly texted my aunt to tell her I was busy with school work.
“What are you doing?” Noah walked in.
“Nothing, hey come help me get these cereals there” I smiled at him. “Is Casey sleeping?”
“Yes, and she said I should give you a goodnight k-ss”
Before I had the chance to breathe, Noah’s l-ips found mine, it wasn’t a fierce k-ss, it was a smooth slow one. And he tasted like mint. I loved mint.
“I like you Anna” he blurted out. “I know we just met but there’s something about you that is so different from the other girls I’ve met. You’re amazing, hærdworking and Caring. I’m not used to pouring out my emotions but there’s something I want to tell you.”
Now Noah looked nervous, very nervous. He sat me down and took a seat in front of me.

“What do you wanna tell me?” I asked slowly not wanting to push him. I had a feeling it had to do with Drew or something like that.
“I’m not who you think I am, I don’t work at a bar. And I’m sorry I lied to you before but I just thought you’ll stay away from me if I told you the truth about what I do” Noah fumbled with his fingers, and indecision flashed in his eyes.
“Hey, hey” I took his hand in mine. “I’ll never stay away from you, you’ve slowly become a part of me. Whatever you tell me isn’t going to change what’s happening between us”
“Ok, well I–”
Noah’s phone cut of the discussion and he gro-ned loudly before taking it out of his pockets.
“What Is it?” He yelled, then stopped to listen. “Ok, I’ll be right there” He stood up.
“I have to go now, I’ll be back before midnight, please take care of Casey” He placed the ohone in his pocket and made for the door.

“Where are you going?”
“I’ll be back soon. I promise I’ll tell you all about it, I promise” He k-ssed me slightly on the l-ips before giving me one last Look and closing the door.
What the hell was that?
Obviously Noah wanted to tell me what was going on but then that stupid phone call had ruined all of it. Ugh!
Who called? And what was happening? Why was he in such a hurry?
I had to find out!
Follow him. A small voice at the back of my mind whispered to me.
What? No!
If I follow him it means I Don’t t trust him, I won’t do that.
It would be too late before he comes back so just go now, follow him, check out what he’s doing then come back quickly.
Ugh! Stupid mind! I picked up my jacket and wore it.
Then went to check on Casey, I covered her up properly and k-ssed her head. Then left the house, shutting the door quickly.

I just prayed he hadn’t gone far. After walking out quickly from the building, I s₱0tted Noah far at the end of the Street and followed him.
I walked through the dark shadows, stepping slightly so he wouldn’t hear and hid behind cars.
This is risky. Very risky.
After about ten minutes, I followed him to a very large space, the first thing I noticed were the cars, not just any car, racing cars.
Then the girls, they we’re almost unclad, clinging to the bodies of guys who were smoking and laughing. Third hands of either their b-obs or ass. It was disgusting.
What was Noah doing in this kind of place?
I searched for Noah and found him with some guys who were drinking, tattoos covered their bodies and huge smiles on their faces.
But Noah wasn’t smiling he looked you at something or rather someone, the person was talking to him.

I stepped closer, gud behind a car and strained my ears so I could hear.
“Take off the shirt Noah, remember where you belong and who you belong to” The voice said, and the person stepped out of the shadows. Drew!
Drew again. Was there something between this two?
Why should Noah take off his shirt? What was underneath it?
“F-ck off Drew” Noah said through clenched teeth. “I don’t belong to anyone”
The guys around him laughed.
“Take off the shirt, Noah. You seem to have forgotten. Or rather let the guys help you remember”
The guys stood up and one of them landed a blow on Noah’s face and I slammed my mouth on my l-ips so as not to scre-m. Then the boys tore of Noah’s shirt.
And I saw it.
A tattoo.
Not just anyone. It was a tattoo of a red snake on a black ladder.
Only certain people had that tattoo. And I gasped in shock.
Noah was a member of the Snakes and Ladders.

Hey guys, more stones are being turned. Noah was ready to tell Anna about all these but someone called him, distracting him. And Anna decided to follow him and then she finds out a deep secret. Noah is a member of the gang. I’m sure y’all didn’t see that coming. How’s she going to react to this?
