Chapter 6 - 6 A Nuisance

Still Theodore's Pov

"Daddy are we there yet" Asked Rose who had her eyes covered by my big hand.

"Just a little more" I say happily before stopping in front of the shop.

Charlotte and Chloe we're looking at the shop with awe as they genuinely thought it looked amazing.

With my hand still covering her eyes, I ask "Okay we're here, are you excited?"

"Hurry daddy I want to see" Rose answered while her little body wiggled and struggled out of my hold.

I then take my hand off to see her face beaming with joy. Her hazelnut brown eyes widened then two cute dimples appeared on the side of her lips as she gave a bright smile.

As I look at her reaction I thought to myself 'It's this smile that made me want to be such a good father, and I'll destroy every fuċker who tries to take it away'

I hadn't noticed but I unconsciously used a bit of strength in my legs causing the pavement under me to crack. Thankfully no one noticed it as it was an only small crack.

"Wow hey daddy is that my name" Said Rose as looked up and pointed at the sign above.

"Yep, it says Rose's Palace do you like it" I said

She kissed me on the cheek and giggled "I love it, daddy is the best hehe"

Then I push open the door and look back at the awestruck Charlotte and Chloe with a warm smile "Welcome to Rose's Palace home to a beautiful princess and an amazing chef"

'And the perfect husband' Charlotte thought privately

As we stepped in, I put Rose down and let her blond head whip around in excitement as her eyes explored the new building that she would call home.

Chloe was also put down and joined Rose in looking around. I let them do a scan with their eyes before wanting to show Rose her room but I was interrupted.

"Are we opening a shop!" Asked the excited Rose

"Yep, and that corner is just for you" I said while pointing to the dining sofa and table combo with a flat screen T.V on the wall.

"Wow, Daddy really is the best" She while nodding her head.

Chloe looked at Rose with envy before looking at the floor sadly. Seeing her like that made me want to comfort her.

"And your friends, like Chloe" I said While putting my hand on head and rubbing it softly. She looked up at me with a sad smile.

I realise she's not jealous of Rose having her own spot, she's jealous because Ross has a father. Not just a father but a good loving father. From the look in this girls eyes, I could see she was hurt badly by the one she once called dad.

'Who the fuċk is the father that could lead this girl to have such a pained look' I thought

Charlotte came to the rescue and picked her up while also hugging her tightly

"It's okay, mom is here" Charlotte whispered in a low comforting tone.

I look at Charlotte and saw the same pained eyes but there was also a slight tinge of fear. I began to doubt the world as I questioned the type of man that could make such a beautiful caring Mother and daughter suffer so much.

I shake my head and thought 'Everyone has their problems I should focus on making Rose happy'

What I hadn't realised at the time was that my daughter is also envious of Chloe. I give a light cough and attempt to change the subject "Hows about we look at your room, do you guys wanna join"

Charlotte and Chloe gave a nod and followed behind. Walking past the counter we walk up the red carpet stairs. At the top of the stairs was five doors. Four rooms and a bathroom.

I take the lead and open up the door to Rose's room. The room caused Rose to give a loud and excited girly scream.

"Aieeeee! It's so pretty" She said while running in and doing a 360 spin in the centre. She looked at the walls that were painted light purple as it was her favourite colour.

She then threw herself at the princess bed and let her face snuggle in the soft pink duvet. Afterwards she looked inside the toy box gave a cute giggle.

After looking around she ran at me and hugged my waist while looking up at me with her shiny white teeth on display, she says "Thank you, daddy"

I then proceed to show her the LED lights that were on the ceiling by turning off the lights. Rose and Chloe both stared at the ceiling with a dumbstruck expression.

With that done I show them the rest of the living space. Rose was particularly happy to get her own sink. We then went back downstairs. I went and turned the closed sign around to show that we were open.

The girls were sat at the private seating area watching some "Dora The Explorer" Charlotte also sat with them as she went through her phone.

I was in the kitchen with a clean white apron, prepping the meat and vegetables needed for the three dishes. I then stood behind the counter patiently waiting for my first customer.

I got bored after ten minutes of waiting and went on my phone checking if there were any differences between my world and the Marvel world. Through my search I found that there is bȧrėly any difference.

About halfway through a Youtube video, I noticed a flash go off from where Charlotte and the girls sat. Note, that I'm not a fan of the camera simply because I'm camera shy. So when I look towards Charlotte and see that she had phone pointed at my direction.

I try to hide but my body didn't seem to listen as It crouched and rested my elbows on the counter with my chin on my palms, I then look off into the distance with a calm vibe.

Charlotte's phone began to flash a few more and my body responded by also moving as it started posing naturally. Charlotte stopped and looked through her collection of photos.

I, on the other hand, stood there unsure of what had just happened 'What the fuċk! Why didn't my body listen to me? Why the hell did I pose like I was in a movie? Is this what Elijah meant by Instinctively Cool. Will this happen every time it feels I could do it in a more cool way. And I'm pretty certain everything became slow during the whole thing. It doesn't feel like I caused time to slow down but more like time was a director and I was its actor. Fuck this is so weird. I already know that the sun or any other lighting will find me no matter where I am, luckily my body has toughened up so I won't get a sunburn or cancer. These abilities are truly just a nuisance'

"Hey Charlotte can you not post them, I'm not particularly a fan of my picture being shared" I ask sincerely

To which she replied with an ignorant tone "Huh? sorry what did you say? I was busy reading the comments for the pictures I just posted. By the way if this shop doesn't work out you should be a model"

I could only sigh and say "It was nothing do you wanna try one of the dishes"

The girls and Charlotte were quick to accept, then I explained what the dishes were and let them pick. As I was getting their order the door opened and four people walked in with a commanding momentum.

Three of them were smoking so they were already breaking a rule and the other was holding a paper bag. From the look of their loos and reckless outlook I knew they didn't come to eat.

'Trouble on the first day, now let's see exactly what they want' I thought while loosening my shoulders with a few shoulder rolls.
