Aspen's P.O.V

"Mommy, Mommy wake up!" Nyzie yelled at the top of her lungs lunging on top of my bed, groaning I pretended to hide underneath my pillow a little more but my 6-year-old daughter was not having it. "Mommy!"

Grabbing onto her tiny little waist I pull her down beside me before lifting my face up to look at my little sunshine, "I'm up, I'm up baby."

She giggled snuggling next to me, "Good Morning momma."

"Morning," I said smiling at her, "You have a good sleep?"

"Mhm," She hummed, "What about you?"

"I had a good sleep too, I was dreaming about you."

"Really?" Nyzaia said with excitement gleaming in her eyes, "What was I doing?"

Chuckling I hug her tightly, "You were being silly as usual...and I was smiling as usual..."

"Then?"

"Then my little brat you woke me up, so I couldn't see the rest of it."

Brushing her hair out of her face I sat up pulling her with me, "Did you brush yet?"

"No, not yet. Auntie Mylie told me to wake you up first because Saber and I were going to be late for school."

Stretching I got out of bed, "Alright then let's go get ready."

This was how my mornings started every single day, I loved it. It was just me and my daughter also known as my alarm clock. Of course, I still stayed with my family, I had my parents, and my siblings, but there was something special about just us in the mornings. 

Smiling I quickly got Nyzie dressed for the day along with me before making our way downstairs to our hectic family. 

"Look who's finally out of bed," Mom said smiling at us, "Come on Nyzie, eat your breakfast before the bus comes sweetie."

"Coming Granny," she let go of my hand digging into the delicious pancakes mom made for breakfast kissing my mom on the cheek morning I grab a cup of coffee. 

"Morning Penny,"

I chuckle at my mom before sitting down to enjoy my food as well, "Where's dad?"

"Right here munchkin," Dad said surprising me a little before stealing my cup of coffee

"Dad!"

"What I thought it was mine." 

Giving him a blank look I wait for Mylie to hand me another cup, "Thanks, Myles."

She shrugged before looking at the time, "We should head out, Saber and Nyzaia finish up the bus is going to be here soon."

"Almost done Sis," Saber said drinking the last of his milk before handing his plate to Mom, Nyzie quickly finished up soon after.

Mom and Dad kissed both of them goodbye before all of us headed out to the bus, "Saber remember to drop Nyzie at her classroom before heading to yours okay?"

"Yeah, I know. I remember my Uncle duties just fine."

Mylie chuckled, "Well okay then Mr. Uncle, take care of our niece. We are getting late for work."

Hugging both of them bye we headed to work, "I am so not looking forward to going to work today." I groaned taking out my lipstick trying to finish up my makeup.

"Me either." Mylie agreed, "Mr. Fox can be such a dick at times."

"Right? It's not my fucking fault if a client pulls out of something."

"Exactly!" 

You must be wondering about what we are talking about, well Mylie and I work for Fox Event Planning, and both of us decided we wanted to do something in the industry but not have to come in front of the camera. Harden Fox, our boss, always has a stick up his ass because he has managed many events over the years for Hollywood and Bollywood. I came in as an intern and he came to love my work ethic Mylie soon followed me but she preferred to deal with all the paperwork rather than deal with the clients. Mylie is my secretary and my sister. 

"Hey," She said quietly

"Mmh?" I mumbled doing my eyeliner

"When are you planning to tell Nyzaia about Rhett?"

Rolling my eyes I put away my stuff, "I don't want to talk about that Mylah."

"Aspen, you are going to have to tell her one day or another that Rhe-"

"What that he's never going to come back to her because he's dead?" I snapped, "How the hell am I supposed to tell a 6-year-old that her dad died during his job."

Mylah sighed parking the car, "Penny...She was asking Saber yesterday, he told me."

My heart skipped a beat quickly wiping a tear away I looked away from her, "What did he say?"

"What we told him to say...but she's growing up Penny, her questioning about her father is just starting."

Licking my lips I looked up at her, "What am I supposed to say Mylie? She only has a few memories with him and me...I don't want to take those away by telling her that there's no way she can make more."

Taking my hand into hers's she forced a smile on her face, "Rhett was a good father Penny, a good guy who took care of you and her perfectly. I know you are trying to keep his memories alive in her mind but if you tell her too late, it'll have a really bad effect on her."

She was right. "Fuck!" I said squeezing her hand, "Why does shit have to be so hard all the time." Letting out a shattered breath I let go of her, "I'll figure something out."

Giving me a reassuring smile Mylie got out of the car with me following her shortly after. As we entered the building everyone's eyes were on us. What the hell?

Mylie and I shared a look before heading quietly to our cabin as she sat outside I went inside my room. "What the fuck is going on?" Mylie buzzed through into the room

"I have no idea," I replied sighing I swear to god if Mr. Fox decided to release all his frustration on us today I would explode. 

"Fox alert."

Fuck... Quickly standing up plaster a fake smile on my face 1...2...3 "Aspen!" Mr. Fox busted through my door 

"Good Morning Mr. Fox."

"Don't Good Morning me, turn on the TV and see who's coming back."

Confused I quickly turn the T.V. on to see what's going on that he's so mad about 

"Talon Quest announced that he will be taking a well-deserved break from the industry returning back to his hometown later this evening. Fans have been devasted since the announcement has been made but Quest has said not to worry and that he will be back soon."

There were fans screaming outside of the LAX waiting for his arrival as paparazzi were blinding the door as Talon Quest stepped out with sunglasses on along with his security,

"Talon! Talon, one picture please!" One of the reporters yelled, "Talon Smile" Another yelled

My smile had fallen off of my face completely, "Talon Quest." I whispered not sure if Mr.Fox heard 

"Talon!" A reporter managed to break through the security putting the microphone in his face, "How long are you here for?"

Annoyed Talon took off his glasses pushing the microphone away, "I don't know,"

"Talon, please the fans want to know."

"I came back for a break...my fans understand, it's been 10 years since I have come back home. Now please get out of my way."

The security pushed the reporter out of the way guiding Talon into the car. Mr. Fox grabbed the remote from me turning the TV off. 

"Talon Quest is back"
