The Bad Boy Has A Daughter

By Chimdi Jane Samuel. Chapter Five.

*Noah’s point of view*

I glanced at k-ssy from my seat, she was mixing some chemicals together with her friend beside her. They were talking in hisged voices.

First period. Chemistry. Worst subject ever. I couldn’t even understand what was going on all I knew was that I had to add the liquids that looked like water together. And on down something. What? I didn’t know.

How was mixing chemicals going to make me a better racer ?

“Mr Bricks, I don’t see you doing anything, if you’re having a problem feel free to ask for help” the teacher said, causing everyone to glanced at my direction.

“Miss Waters, you appear to be done, could you please give our transferred student here a helping hand?” k-ssy glanced at me before picking her notes and walking over to me.

Miss Waters?

No f-cking way was I calling her that. k-ssy was fine

“I don’t f-cking need your help you know, I was getting it all fine” I muttered. Picking up whatever chemical and almost adding it to another.

“No!” She said, grabbing it from my hand And placing it down. “You don’t add HCl to chemicals, you add chemicals to HCl”

“What’s the difference?” I asked, watching her pour the HCl or whatever into a long pipe.

“It’s dangerous, and beside you’re supposed to use only 25cm of HCl, did you measure it with the burette?” She asked.

“What’s a burette?”

“This long glass pipe over here, just pour the HCl in it until it reaches 25cm, see!” I looked at the burette or whatever it was called and the acid in it was perfectly at 25cm.

After about twenty minutes of boring chemistry, the bell rang and I was pleased to get out of the class. .

“Anna, Noah. A word please?” Mts Williams called me when I went to place my book for submission

“I need you to put Noah here through. I understand you’re preparing for the State physics competition. But Mr Bricks here could use a little help even if it’s for two hours everyday” she said.

What? I didn’t need anyone teaching me and putting me through anything .

“I don’t think that would be ne–”

“Ok Mrs Williams, it would be my pleasure” k-ssy said and Mrs Williams walked out with the books.

“What the hell? I don’t need you?”

” Yes you do, you couldn’t even identify some if the chemical instruments, you won’t graduate if you don’t have a ‘C’ in chemistry.” She argued.

“That’s my business, I don’t need you sticking your nose in it”

“Well sorry about that but Mrs Williams here knows I didn’t do her project here, thanks to my Best friend now I have to make up for it by helping you, so don’t think I want to help you. I just need it for just grades”

“Ah f-ck! I don’t have time to learn chemistry. I’m busy after school hours”

I had to race. I had to sleep. I didn’t want to waste free time learning stupid things.

“Sorry Noah but you have to fix a few minutes everyday, even if it’s an hour” She smiled up at me. “How’s your head? Did you check it out at the sick bay today”

“No” I said walking away from her

I didn’t want to learn any more subjects afrer school hours, coming to school was already a big deal for me, I needed to race to gather enough money. Not sitting on a pretty chair with a pretty girl learning school work .

But also I didn’t want to be transferred to another school again before I was having poor grades. God knows the next school I’ll be transferred to would be outside this town. And I needed to stay in this town to race. I needed to race. I needed the money.

School passed by a blue and k-ssy which I already knew as Anna was only in my chemistry class today. I saw her again during lunch and we agreed to meet at my place for learning today. And she offered to redress my wound God knows it was hurting need really badly and I had to race this Evening I didn’t need anymore distractions.

I walked home after seeing Anna talking to one particular girl I saw Everytime with her.

Maybe they were best friends. Who cares?

Anna was beautiful, she looked so different that she did last night. I noticed a lot about her during our chemistry class. She wore reading glasses when she was writing, and twitched her nose whenever she was serious. Many times I wanted to sweep her hair from her face behind her ear. But had to stop myself.

Get a grip on yourself Noah!

I entered my lobby and made my way to my apartment when I s₱0tted a little girl standing at my front door. She looked to be about two years. She was wearing a pink dress and pink boots. She was just standing there gawking at my door.

What the f-ck? Whose child is this? And what the f-ck is she doing at my door?

I walked carefully towards her and she turned to me.

Damn!

She had the same color of hair as mine, the eyes was like mine, green with little brown at the center. The nose, straight. It was like a female version of me.

“Hello?” I said, squatting beside her and looking at her to see if I could find anything that didn’t look like me. No, I found nothing

“Hi” She said in a small voice. Raising her hand to touch my chest, she brought out the necklace I was wearing. My most treasured object.

She took out hers from her pocket and placed it beside mine. The magnets in both necklaces clicked and the words formed. “Yours forever”

I recognized both necklaces, I knew who it belonged to. My first girlfriend.

“You’re my dad” The Little girl sooke softly.

Well, f-ck my life.

Hey guys. Finally the most awaited chapter is here. Noah goes to school and meets Anna who is now going to be tutoring him everyday after school. Almost angry at himself he goes home to prepare for her coming and sees a little girl at his doorstep and she claims Noah is her dad. Is she really his daughter and would Noah accept her with the kind of life he lives

Chapter Six.

*Noah’s point of view*

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I was dumbstruck, dumbfounded, surprised and I was f-cked!

I had a daughter? No way?

This was just a random kid looking for her mom, or dad, but it was definitely not me, it couldn’t be me.

I slept around, yes! But none of them have ever gotten pregnant for me, not for me. I used protection I made sure if it. And judging by this girls look, she wasn’t up to three. That means if she was my daughter it must have been three years ago.

And if she was my daughter, why hadn’t the mom brought her to me all this time? Why wait till she was older?

Where was the mom? What the f-ck is happening?

Why can’t I just f-ck around without anyone getting pregnant for me?

Like what the f-ck? This wasn’t my daughter?

Who the f-ck was I kidding? This girl was the replica of my, the hair, eyes, nose even to the shape of her little fingers around my necklace.

Not only that. That necklace she held was the second half of the one around my neck. I knew who I gave it to.

But I needed to be sure.

“Mama said should look around your neck and I’ll see one like mine. She say you love it and you give her” my daughter said, sounding just like me.

My daughter? No f-ck. The little girl.

“Where’s your mama?” I asked.

“I don’t know, mama said she go to school and papa will take good care of me” She said, dropping my necklace and coming closer to me so she could touch my bandaged head.

Why does she want to touch it? Maybe she wants to press it so I’ll feel pain.

Calm down Noah she’s a kid.

Kids could be dangerous too.

“What happened to dad’s head? Dad shouldn’t run around and play so he won’t get hurt”

“I fell over the stairs” I liked smoothly, no way I was telling my daughter I got into an accident while racing.

My daughter?? F-ck! The little girl.

“Dad should go to hospital, they treat people who’s head are bad, like yours”

Geez thanks.

I stood to my feet and opened my door. I wasnt going to let her stay outside any longer in case any one God forbid my neighbors know, they’ll tell everyone else. The last thing I need is my racing buddies knowing I have a daughter.

I picked up her little box and followed her in,side. My apartment wasn’t big, just a room, a sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. Nothing else. I lived alone. No one else.

I placed the box in the room and came back to see the little girl staring at a huge photo of a sport car.

“Mama says you drive lots” She grinned.

“Yea, cars are fun” I moved closed to her, picking her up and placing her on the chair

“Who’s your mom?” I asked, even though I already had an idea who she was.

The girl but her fingers, looking at me with huge green eyes, so green, just like mine

Focus Noah, she can just mention someone you don’t know, you can never be too sure.

“Andrea. Mom name Andrea Graham” She spoke softly.

Of course I knew Andrea, she was one of my firsts. Blonde hair blue eyes, she was drop dead gorgeous. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her.

I wanted to ask more, but the little girl yawned loudly and removed her bag from her back.

“Me is hungry, I want cornflakes, me love cornflakes”

Cornflakes? Are you f-cking kidding me? Who ate that these days?

I was a racer, I didn’t have time for cornflakes?

“Uhm..no” Immediately I said that she shot up from the chair and I stepped back quickly

“I want cornflakes, me is hungry!” She said, tears filled her eyes, threatening to fall out.

“Er…I..ok, I’ll get it for you” I said, she sniffed, wiped her eyes and sat down again.

“I’ve got homework, mama said to do homework before food, Dad help me, please. Mom say good to say please so me say please too* She smiles at me, taking a book from her bag and placing it ok the table.

What? I hadn’t even done my homework yet?

Now I had to help a little girl do hers? What the f-ck is going on?

Why was my life moving so fast?

“Dad? Look at the ponies, Mr Tony said should count all the ponies.” She pointed to a pink little horse. “One, two..” She stared at me. “Dad isn’t counting, count with me”

“One ponies, two ponies…”

What the f-ck?

Did I look like a freak?

“Say three ponies dad”

“Three ponies” I said, she touched my cheeks, pinching them a little. “Good, me teach dad how to count”

F-ck.

After about fifteen minutes of counting ponies, counting little bears and little dolls, we finally finished the homework and the little girl smiled at me.

“Dad is cool. Mom say dad would like me. I miss mom. Mom is sad telling me to come stay with dad”

She looked like she wanted to cry then she came closer to me and put her little arms around my neck.

I went stiff.. I didn’t know what to do. Hug her back?

I didn’t know this girl? She just randomly came to my door saying I’m her dad. How true was this?

Who was I kidding, no doubt she was my daughter.

“It’s ok, Dads gonna take care of you” I whispered, hugging her back.

Realising I didn’t know her name yet, I asked. “What’s your name?”

“Casey Bricks”

Hey guys, I’m really happy about this book. So Noah knows she’s his daughter, and he knows the mom too. A girl he had an affair with. When? We don’t know. Noah is really freaked out about Casey, a little bundle of joy, she’s so cute and funny. I love writing her. There are still some unsolved mysteries, more stones would be turned. More truths to uncover. And how would Noah fit his little Casey into his life?
